The Co-Issuers are duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture to provide for the Notes issuable as provided in this Indenture. Except as otherwise provided herein, all covenants and agreements made by the Co-Issuers herein are for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties. The Co-Issuers are entering into this Indenture, and the Trustee is accepting the trusts created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

All things necessary to make this Indenture a valid agreement of the Co-Issuers in accordance with the agreement's terms have been done.

GRANTING CLAUSE

The Issuer hereby Grants to the Trustee, for the benefit and security of the Holders of the Secured Notes, the Trustee, the Bank (in all of its capacities hereunder), the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Manager, the Administrator and each Hedge Counterparty (collectively, the "Secured Parties"), all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the following property, in each case, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising, and wherever located, (a) the Collateral Obligations and all payments thereon or with respect thereto, (b) each of the Accounts, to the extent permitted by the applicable Hedge Agreement, each Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account, any Eligible Investments purchased with funds on deposit therein, and all income from the investment of funds therein, (c) the equity interest in any Issuer Subsidiary and Equity Securities and all payments and rights thereunder, (d) the Issuer's right under the Collateral Management Agreement as set forth in Article XV hereof, the Hedge Agreements (provided that there is no such Grant to the Trustee on behalf of any Hedge Counterparty in respect of its related Hedge Agreement), the Collateral Administration Agreement and the Administration Agreement, (e) all Cash or Money delivered to the Trustee (or its bailee) for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (f) all accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, financial assets, general intangibles, payment intangibles, instruments, investment property and supporting obligations (as such terms are defined in the UCC), (g) any other property otherwise delivered to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Issuer (whether or not constituting Collateral Obligations, Equity Securities or Eligible Investments), and (h) all proceeds (as defined in the UCC) and products, in each case, with respect to the foregoing (the assets referred to in (a) through (h) are collectively referred to as the "Assets"); provided that such Grant shall not include (i) the U.S.$250 transaction fee paid to the Issuer in consideration of the issuance of the Secured Notes and Subordinated Notes, (ii) the funds attributable to the issuance and allotment of the Issuer's ordinary shares, (iii) the bank account in the Cayman Islands in which such funds are deposited (or any interest thereon), and (iv) the membership interests of the Co-Issuer (the assets referred to in (i) through (iv), collectively, the "Excepted Property").

Except as set forth in the Priority of Payments and Article XIII of this Indenture, the Secured Notes are secured equally and ratably without prejudice, priority or distinction between any Secured Note and any other Secured Note by reason of difference in time of issuance or otherwise, except as expressly provided in this Indenture, and to secure, in accordance with the priorities set forth in the Priority of Payments, (i) the payment of all amounts due on the Secured Notes in accordance with their terms, (ii) the payment of all other sums payable under this Indenture and all amounts payable under each Hedge Agreement, and (iii) compliance with the provisions of this Indenture and each Hedge Agreement, all as provided in this Indenture and each Hedge Agreement, respectively.

All such funds shall be assumed to continue to earn interest until the date on which they are required to be available in the Collection Account for application, in accordance with the terms hereof, to payments of principal of or interest on the Notes or other amounts payable pursuant to this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, all amounts calculated pursuant to this Section 1.3(d) are estimates and may differ from the actual amounts available to make distributions hereunder, and no party shall have any obligation to make any payment hereunder due to the assumed amounts calculated under this Section 1.3(d) being greater than the actual amounts available.

(k) For purposes of calculating the Sale Proceeds of a Collateral Obligation in sale transactions, Sale Proceeds shall include any Principal Financed Accrued Interest received in respect of such sale.

(l) For purposes of calculating clause (iii) of the definition of Concentration Limitations, without duplication, the amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and the Ramp-Up Account (including Eligible Investments therein) representing Principal Proceeds shall each be deemed to be a floating rate Collateral Obligation that is a Senior Secured Loan.

(m) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, all monetary calculations under this Indenture shall be in U.S. Dollars.

(n) Unless otherwise specified, any reference to the fee payable under Section 11.1 to an amount calculated with respect to a period at per annum rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

Any future anticipated tax liabilities of an Issuer Subsidiary related to an Issuer Subsidiary Asset held by such Issuer Subsidiary shall be excluded from the calculation of the Weighted Average Floating Spread and Weighted Average Coupon (which exclusion, for the avoidance of doubt, may result in such Issuer Subsidiary Asset having a negative interest rate spread or coupon for purposes of such calculations) and the Interest Coverage Ratio with respect to any specified Class or Classes of Secured Notes.

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the Authorized Officers of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, shall bind the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, notwithstanding the fact that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of issuance of such Notes.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer may deliver Notes executed by the Applicable Issuers to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for authentication and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, upon Issuer Order, shall authenticate and deliver such Notes as provided in this Indenture and not otherwise.

All other Notes that are authenticated after the Closing Date for any other purpose under this Indenture shall be dated the date of their authentication.

Notes issued upon transfer, exchange or replacement of other Notes shall be issued in Authorized Integrals reflecting the original Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced, but shall represent only the current Outstanding principal amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced. In the event that any Note is divided into more than one Note in accordance with this ARTICLE II, the original principal amount of such Note shall be proportionately divided among the Notes delivered in exchange therefor and shall be deemed to be the original aggregate principal amount (or original aggregate face amount, as applicable) of such subsequently issued Notes.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a Certificate of Authentication, substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by the Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of their Authorized Officers, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.6 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Issuer shall cause the Notes to be Registered and shall cause to be kept a register (the "Register") at the Corporate Trust Office in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed "Registrar" for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of such Notes with respect to the Register maintained in the United States as herein provided. Upon any resignation or removal of the Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor.

-74-

If a Person other than the Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Registrar, the Issuer shall give the Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of a Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Register, and the Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof and the Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Registrar by an Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal or face amounts and numbers of such Notes. Upon request at any time the Registrar shall provide to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Initial Purchaser or any Holder a current list of Holders as reflected in the Register and a copy of each certification in the form of Exhibit D that it has received. In addition and upon request at any time, the Registrar shall obtain (at the Issuer's expense) and provide to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and the Initial Purchaser a copy of the securities position report from DTC.

Subject to this Section 2.6, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Notes at the office or agency of the Co-Issuers to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2, the Applicable Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any Authorized Denomination and of a like aggregate principal or face amount. At any time, the Initial Purchaser may request a list of Holders from the Trustee and the Trustee shall provide such a list of Holders to the extent such information is available to the Trustee.

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for Notes of like terms, in any Authorized Integrals and of like aggregate principal or face amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Note is surrendered for exchange, the Applicable Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Notes issued and authenticated upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer and, solely in the case of the Secured Notes, the Co-Issuer, evidencing the same debt (to the extent they evidence debt), and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program ("STAMP") or such other "signature guarantee program" as may be determined by the Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act.

-75-

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Registrar or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Trustee and the Registrar shall be permitted to request such evidence reasonably satisfactory to it documenting the identity and/or signature of the transferor and the transferee.

(a) No Note may be sold or transferred (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) unless such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, is exempt from the registration requirements under applicable state securities laws and will not cause either of the Co-Issuers to become subject to the requirement that it register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee, relying solely on representations made or deemed to have been made by Holders of the Class E Notes, Holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes and Holders of the Junior Subordinated Notes, shall not permit any transfer of Class E Notes, Senior Subordinated Notes or Junior Subordinated Notes, as applicable, if such transfer would result in 25% or more of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class E Notes, the Senior Subordinated Notes or the Junior Subordinated Notes, as applicable, being held by Benefit Plan Investors, as calculated pursuant to 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA.

Section 2.8 Payment of Principal and Interest and Other Amounts; Principal and Interest Rights Preserved. (a) The Secured Notes of each Class shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period at the applicable Note Interest Rate and such interest shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date in the case of the Secured Notes, on the Aggregate Outstanding Amount thereof on the first day of the related Interest Accrual Period (after giving effect to payments of principal thereof on such date). Payment of interest on each Class of Secured Notes (and payments of the Senior Subordinated Note Amount to the Holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes and payments of available Interest Proceeds to the Holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Junior Subordinated Notes) shall be subordinated to the payments of interest on the related Priority Classes as provided in Section 11.1. So long as any Priority Classes are Outstanding with respect to any Class of Deferred Interest Notes, any payment of interest due on such Class of Deferred Interest Notes (including, with respect to the Senior Subordinated Notes, any payment of Senior Subordinated Notes Amount due on the Senior Subordinated Notes) which is not available to be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date, if such interest is not paid in order to satisfy the Coverage Tests ("Deferred Interest" with respect thereto), shall not be considered "due and payable" for the purposes of Section 5.1(a) (and the failure to pay such interest (including, with respect to the Senior Subordinated Notes, such Senior Subordinated Note Amount) shall not be an Event of Default) until the earliest of the Payment Date (i) on which such interest (including, with respect to the Senior Subordinated Notes, such Senior Subordinated Note Amount) is available to be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments, (ii) which is a Redemption Date with respect to such Class of Deferred Interest Notes, and (iii) which is the Stated Maturity of such Class of Deferred Interest Notes. Deferred Interest on any Class of Deferred Interest Notes shall not be added to the principal balance of such Class. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to pay the Senior Subordinated Note Amount on any Payment Date due to the unavailability of funds in respect thereof will not constitute an Event of Default. Deferred Interest shall be payable on the first Payment Date on which funds are available to be used for such purpose in accordance with the Priority of Payments, but in any event no later than the earlier of the Payment Date (i) which is the Redemption Date with respect to such Class of Deferred Interest Notes, and (ii) which is the Stated Maturity of such Class of Deferred Interest Notes. Interest shall cease to accrue on each Secured Note, or in the case of a partial repayment, on such part, from the date of repayment or the respective Stated Maturity unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or unless default is otherwise made with respect to such payments of principal. To the extent lawful and enforceable, (x) interest on Deferred Interest with respect to the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes or the Class E Notes shall accrue at the Note Interest Rate for such Class until paid as provided herein and (y) interest on the interest on any Class A Note or any Class B Note or, if no Class A Notes or Class B Notes are Outstanding, any Class C Note, or, if no Class A Notes, Class B Notes or Class C Notes are Outstanding, any Class D Note, or, if no Class A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes or Class D Notes are Outstanding, any Class E Note, that is not paid when due shall accrue at the Note Interest Rate for such Class until paid as provided herein. On each Payment Date, the Senior Subordinated Notes will be entitled to receive the Senior Subordinated Note Amount and 45% of all remaining Interest Proceeds and all remaining Principal Proceeds prior to any distributions on the Junior Subordinated Notes on such Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments. To the extent lawful and enforceable, interest on any Deferred Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes shall accrue at the same per annum rate as the then current Senior Subordinated Note Rate.

(a) The principal of each Secured Note of each Class matures at par and is due and payable on the Payment Date which is the Stated Maturity for such Class of Secured Notes, unless such principal has been previously repaid or unless the unpaid principal of such Secured Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of principal of each Class of Secured Notes (and payments of Principal Proceeds to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes) may only occur after principal and interest on each Class of Notes that constitutes a Priority Class with respect to such Class has been paid in full and is subordinated to the payment on each Payment Date of the principal and interest due and payable on such Priority Class(es), and other amounts in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and any payment of principal of any Class of Secured Notes and distributions of Principal Proceeds to Holders of Subordinated Notes, which are not paid, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on any Payment Date (other than the Payment Date which is the Stated Maturity of such Class or any Redemption Date), shall not be considered "due and payable" for purposes of Section 5.1(a) until the Payment Date on which such principal may be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments or all of the Priority Classes with respect to such Class have been paid in full.

-88-

(b) Principal payments on the Notes shall be made in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Section 9.1.

(c) As a condition to the payment of principal of and interest on any Secured Note or any payment on any Subordinated Note, the Trustee and any Paying Agent shall require certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee and any Paying Agent to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to deduct or withhold from payments in respect of such Note under any present or future law or regulation of the United States and any other applicable jurisdiction, or any present or future law or regulation of any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or regulation. The Co-Issuers shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Holders of beneficial owners of the Notes as a result of deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges with respect to the Notes.

(d) Payments in respect of interest on and principal of any Secured Note and any payment with respect to any Subordinated Note shall be made by the Trustee or by a Paying Agent in United States dollars to DTC or its designee with respect to a Global Note and to the Holder or its nominee with respect to a Certificated Note, by wire transfer, as directed by the Holder, in immediately available funds to a United States dollar account, as the case may be, maintained by DTC or its nominee with respect to a Global Note, and to the Holder or its designee with respect to a Certificated Note, provided that in the case of a Certificated Note, the Holder thereof shall have provided written wiring instructions to the Trustee or the applicable Paying Agent, on or before the related Record Date; provided, further, that if appropriate instructions for any such wire transfer are not received by the related Record Date, then such payment shall be made by check drawn on a U.S. bank mailed to the address of the Holder specified in the Register. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of a Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee on or prior to such Maturity; provided that if the Trustee and the Applicable Issuers shall have been furnished such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such certificate, then, in the absence of notice to the Applicable Issuers or the Trustee that the applicable Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. Neither the Co-Issuers, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager, nor any Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records maintained by DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream or any of the Agent Members relating to or for payments made thereby on account of beneficial interests in a Global Note. In the case where any final payment of principal and interest is to be made on any Secured Note (other than on the Stated Maturity thereof) or any final payment is to be made on any Subordinated Note (other than on the Stated Maturity thereof), the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Applicable Issuers shall, not more than 30 nor less than 10 days prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, mail (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Persons entitled thereto at their addresses appearing on the Register a notice which shall specify the date on which such payment shall be made, the amount of such payment per U.S.$100,000 original principal amount of Secured Notes and original principal amount of Subordinated Notes and the place where such Notes may be presented and surrendered for such payment.

-89-

(e) Payments of principal to Holders of the Secured Notes of each Class shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Secured Notes of such Class registered in the name of each such Holder on the applicable Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Secured Notes of such Class on such Record Date. Payments to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes of each Class from Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Subordinated Notes of such Class registered in the name of each such Holder on the applicable Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Subordinated Notes of such Class on such Record Date.

(f) Interest accrued with respect to the Secured Notes shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360.

(g) All reductions in the principal amount of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of installments of principal made on any Payment Date or Redemption Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of such Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer and Co-Issuer under the Notes and the Transaction Documents are limited recourse or non-recourse obligations of the Issuer and Co-Issuer, as applicable, payable solely from the Assets and following realization of the Assets, and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with this Indenture, all obligations of and any claims against the Co-Issuers hereunder or in connection herewith after such realization shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had against any Officer, director, employee, member, manager, partner, shareholder or incorporator of either the Co-Issuers, the Collateral Manager or their respective successors or assigns for any amounts payable under the Notes or (except as otherwise provided herein or in the Collateral Management Agreement) in the Transaction Documents. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (i) shall not (x) prevent recourse to the Assets for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Assets or (y) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Notes or secured by this Indenture until such Assets have been realized. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (i) shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer or the Co-Issuer as a party defendant in any Proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Notes or this Indenture, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity. The Subordinated Notes are not secured hereunder.

-90-

(i) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8, each Note delivered under this Indenture and upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights of unpaid interest and principal (or other applicable amount) that were carried by such other Note.

Section 2.9 Persons Deemed Owners. The Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, and any agent of the Co-Issuers or the Trustee may treat as the owner of such Note the Person in whose name any Note is registered on the Register on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest on such Note and on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever (whether or not such Note is overdue), and neither the Issuer, the Co-Issuers nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer, the Co-Issuers or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.10 Surrender of Notes; Cancellation. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Note may be surrendered (including any surrender in connection with any abandonment, donation, gift, contribution or other event or circumstance) except for payments, registration of transfer, exchange, redemption in accordance with Article IX or for replacement in connection with any Note that is deemed lost or stolen.

(a) All Notes that are surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange, redemption or for cancellation, or mutilated, defaced or deemed lost or stolen, shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee and may not be reissued or resold. Any such Notes shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 2.10, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with its standard policy, unless the Co-Issuers shall direct by an Issuer Order received prior to destruction that they be returned to it.

(b) The Issuer may not acquire any of the Notes (including any Notes that are surrendered, cancelled or abandoned). The preceding sentence shall not limit an optional or mandatory redemption of the Notes pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.11 Certificated Notes. (a) A Global Note deposited with DTC pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be transferred in the form of a corresponding Certificated Note to the beneficial owners thereof only if such transfer complies with Section 2.6 and either (i) DTC notifies the Co-Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such Global Note or (ii) at any time DTC ceases to be a Clearing Agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor depository is not appointed by the Co-Issuers within 90 days after such notice. In addition, the owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall be entitled to receive a Certificated Note in exchange for such interest if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such transfer is requested by the Holder of such Global Note.

-91-

(a) Any Global Note that is transferable in the form of a Certificated Note to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be surrendered by DTC to the Trustee's designated office located in the United States to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Applicable Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive physical certificates (pursuant to the instructions of DTC) in Authorized Integrals. Any Certificated Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.6(h) and (i), bear the legends set forth in the applicable Exhibit A and shall be subject to the transfer restrictions referred to in such legends.

(b) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 2.11, the Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

The Certificated Notes shall be in substantially the same form as the corresponding Global Notes with such changes therein as the Issuer and Trustee shall agree. In the event that Certificated Notes are not so issued by the Issuer to such beneficial owners of interests in Global Notes as required by Section 2.11(a), the Issuer expressly acknowledges that the beneficial owners shall be entitled to pursue any remedy that the Holder of a Global Note would be entitled to pursue in accordance with Article V of this Indenture (but only to the extent of such beneficial owner's interest in the Global Note) as if Certificated Notes had been issued. Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of directions from the Depository and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such direction as to the names of beneficial owners in whose names such Certificated Notes shall be registered or as to delivery instructions for such Certificated Notes.

Section 2.12 Notes Beneficially Owned by Persons Not QIB/QPs, IAI/QPs or AI/QPs or in Violation of ERISA Representations. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture, any transfer of (x) a beneficial interest in any Note to a U.S. person that is not (i) in the case of a Rule 144A Global Note, a QIB/QP (ii) in the case of a Certificated Secured Note, an IAI/QP or a QIB/QP, or (y) in the case of a Certificated Subordinated Note, a QIB/QP or an AI/QP, and, in each case that is not made pursuant to an applicable exemption under the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act shall be null and void and any such purported transfer of which the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Trustee shall have notice may be disregarded by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee for all purposes.

-92-

(a) If (i) any U.S. person that is not a QIB/QP (in the case of a Rule 144A Global Secured Note) or an IAI/QP or QIB/QP (in the case of a Certificated Secured Note) shall become the beneficial owner of an interest in any Secured Note, (ii) any U.S. person that is not a QIB/QP (in the case of a Rule 144A Global Subordinated Note) or an AI/QP or QIB/QP (in the case of a Certificated Subordinated Note) that does not have an exemption available under the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act shall become the beneficial owner of an interest in any Subordinated Note, or (iii) any U.S. person becomes the beneficial owner of an interest in any Regulation S Global Secured Note or Regulation S Global Subordinated Note (any such person a "Non-Permitted Holder"), the Issuer shall, promptly after discovery that such person is a Non-Permitted Holder by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Trustee (and notice to the Issuer by the Trustee if a Trust Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge or by the Co-Issuer if it makes the discovery), send notice to such Non-Permitted Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted Holder transfer its interest in the Notes held by such person to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted Holder within 30 days of the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted Holder fails to so transfer such Notes, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such Notes or interest in such Notes to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is a not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer, or the Collateral Manager (on its own or acting through an investment bank selected by the Collateral Manager at the Issuer's expense) acting on behalf of the Issuer, may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Notes, and selling such Notes to the highest such bidder. However, the Issuer may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of each Note, the Non-Permitted Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Notes, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and the Trustee to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this subsection shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and the Issuer shall not be liable to any Person having an interest in the Notes sold as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture, any transfer of a beneficial interest in any Note to a Person who has made or is deemed to have made an ERISA-related representation required by Section 2.6 that is subsequently shown to be false or misleading shall be null and void and any such purported transfer of which the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Trustee shall have notice may be disregarded by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee for all purposes.

(c) If any Person becomes the beneficial owner of an interest in any Note who has made or is deemed to have made a prohibited transaction representation or a Benefit Plan Investor, Controlling Person, Similar Law or Other Plan Law representation required by Section 2.6 that is subsequently shown to be false or misleading or whose beneficial ownership otherwise causes 25% or more of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class E Notes, the Senior Subordinated Notes or the Junior Subordinated Notes being held by Benefit Plan Investors, as calculated pursuant to 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA (any such person a "Non-Permitted ERISA Holder"), the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer shall, promptly after discovery that such person is a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Trustee (and notice to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, by the Trustee if a Trust Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge or by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer if it makes the discovery), send notice to such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder transfer its interest in the Notes held by such person to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder within 10 days of the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder fails to so transfer such Notes, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder, to sell such Notes or interest in such Notes to a purchaser selected by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, that is a not a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Notes, and selling such Notes to the highest such bidder. However, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of each Note, the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Notes, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, and the Trustee to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this subsection shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, and the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall not be liable to any Person having an interest in the Notes sold as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

-93-

Section 2.13 Deduction or Withholding from Payments on Notes; No Gross Up. If the Issuer is required to deduct or withhold from, or with respect to, payments to any Holder of the Notes for any Tax, then the Trustee or other Paying Agent, as applicable, shall deduct, or withhold, the amount required to be deducted or withheld and remit to the relevant authority such amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer may withhold any amount that it determines is required to be withheld from any amounts otherwise distributable to any holder of a Note. The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes as a result of any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any Tax imposed on payments in respect of the Notes. The amount of any withholding tax or deduction with respect to any Holder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Holder at the time it is withheld or deducted by the Trustee or Paying Agent and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

Section 2.14 Tax Treatment; Tax Certifications.

(a) Each Holder (including, for purposes of this Section 2.14, any beneficial owner of Notes) will treat the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, and the Notes as described under the heading "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the Offering Circular for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes and will take no action inconsistent with such treatment unless required by law.

(b) Each Holder will timely furnish the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer (including any Paying Agent) any U.S. federal income tax forms or certifications (such as an applicable IRS Form W-8 (together with appropriate attachments), IRS Form W-9, or any successors to such IRS forms) that the Issuer or its agents (including any Paying Agent) may reasonably request, and any documentation, agreements, information, or certifications that are reasonably requested by the Issuer or tis agents (including any Paying Agent) (A) to permit the Issuer or its agents to make payments to it without, or at a reduced rate of, deduction or withholding, (B) to enable the Issuer or its agents to qualify for a reduced rate of withholding or deduction in any jurisdiction from or through which it receives payments, and (C) to enable the Issuer or its agents to satisfy reporting and other obligations under the Code and Treasury regulations, and will update or replace such documentation, agreements, information, or certifications as appropriate or in accordance with their terms or subsequent amendments, and acknowledges that the failure to provide, update or replace any such documentation, agreements, information, or certifications may result in the imposition of withholding or back-up withholding upon payments to such Holder. Amounts withheld pursuant to applicable tax laws will be treated as having been paid to a Holder by the Issuer.

-94-

(c) Each Holder will provide the Issuer, the Trustee or any other agent of the Issuer with any correct, complete and accurate information and will take any other actions that may be required for the Issuer to comply with FATCA and the Cayman FATCA Legislation and to prevent the imposition of U.S. federal withholding tax under FATCA on any payment to or for the benefit of the Issuer. In the event the Holder fails to provide such information or take such actions, or to the extent that the Holder's ownership of Notes would otherwise cause the Issuer to be subject to any tax under FATCA, (A) the Issuer (and any agent acting on its behalf including any Paying Agent) is authorized to withhold amounts otherwise distributable to such Holder as compensation for any amounts withheld from payments to or for the benefit of the Issuer as a result of such failure or the Holder's ownership, and (B) to the extent necessary to avoid an adverse effect on the Issuer or the Noteholders as a result of such failure or the Holder's ownership, the Issuer will have the right to compel the Holder to sell its Notes, and, if such Holder does not sell its Notes within 10 Business Days after notice from the Issuer, to sell such Notes at a public or private sale called and conducted in any manner permitted by law, and to remit the net proceeds of such sale (taking into account any taxes incurred by the Issuer in connection with such sale) to the Holder as payment in full for such Notes. The Issuer may also assign each such Note a separate CUSIP or CUSIPs in the Issuer's sole discretion. Each Holder agrees that the Issuer, the Trustee or their agents or representatives may (1) provide any information and documentation concerning its investment in its Notes to the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and any other relevant tax authority and (2) take such other steps as they deem necessary or helpful to ensure that the Issuer complies with FATCA and the Cayman FATCA Legislation.

(d) Each Holder of Class E Notes, Senior Subordinated Notes or Junior Subordinated Notes, if it is not a "United States person" (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), represents that either:

(i) It is not a bank (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A)) or an affiliate of a bank;

(ii) If it is a bank (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A)), then after giving effect to its purchase of Notes, it (x) will not directly or indirectly own more than 33-1/3%, by number or value, of the aggregate of the Notes within such Class and will not otherwise be related to the Issuer (within the meaning of Section 267(b) of the Code) and (y) has not purchased the Notes in whole or in part to avoid any U.S. federal tax liability (including, without limitation, any U.S. withholding tax that would be imposed on the Notes with respect to the Collateral Obligations if held directly by the Holder) within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.881-3; or

-95-

(iii) It has provided an IRS Form W-8ECI representing that all payments received or to be received by it from the Issuer are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and includible in its gross income or has provided an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E representing that it is a person that is eligible for benefits under an income tax treaty with the United States that eliminates U.S. federal income taxation of U.S. source interest not attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States.

(e) Each Holder of Class E Notes, Senior Subordinated Notes or Junior Subordinated Notes will not treat any income with respect to its Class E Notes, Senior Subordinated Notes or Junior Subordinated Notes as derived in connection with the Issuer's active conduct of a banking, financing, insurance, or other similar business for purposes of Section 954(h)(2) of the Code.

(f) Each Holder must provide the Issuer with any documentation reasonably requested by the Issuer to permit the Issuer to (i) make payments to the investor without, or at a reduced rate of, deduction or withholding, (ii) qualify for a reduced rate of withholding or deduction in any jurisdiction from or through which the Issuer receives payments on its assets and (iii) satisfy its tax reporting and other obligations. Moreover, each Holder will indemnify the Issuer and other Holders for all damages, costs and expenses (including any amount of taxes, fees, interest, additions to tax, or penalties) resulting from the failure by such Holder to provide information (or from such Holder providing incorrect or incomplete information). The indemnification will continue with respect to any period during which the Holder held Notes (and any interest therein), notwithstanding the Holder ceasing to be a Holder of the Notes.

ARTICLE V

REMEDIES

Section 5.1 Events of Default. "Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(a) a default in the payment, when due and payable, of (i) any interest on any Class A Note or any Class B Note or, if there are no Class A Notes or Class B Notes Outstanding, any Class C Note or, if there are no Class A Notes, Class B Notes or Class C Notes Outstanding, any Class D Note, or, if there are no Class A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes or Class D Notes Outstanding, any Class E Note, and, in each case, the continuation of any such default for five (5) Business Days, or (ii) any principal, interest, or Deferred Interest on, or any Redemption Price in respect of, any Secured Note at its Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date, and, in each case, the continuation of such default for five Business Days; provided that in the case of a default in payment resulting solely from an administrative error or omission by the Collateral Manager, the Administrator, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Registrar, such default continues for a period of seven (7) or more Business Days after the Trustee receives written notice or a Trust Officer has actual knowledge of the occurrence of such administrative error or omission; provided, further, that, in the case of any default on any Redemption Date, only to the extent that such default continues for a period of five (5) or more Business Days; provided, further, that the failure to effect any Optional Redemption or Tax Redemption for which notice is withdrawn by the Issuer in accordance with Section 9.5(b), or with respect to a failed Refinancing, shall not constitute an Event of Default.

(b) the failure on any Payment Date to disburse amounts in excess of U.S.$1,000 available in the Payment Account (other than a default in payment described in clause (a) above) in accordance with the Priority of Payments and continuation of such failure for a period of five (5) Business Days (provided that if such failure results solely from an administrative error or omission by the Collateral Manager, the Administrator, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Registrar or due to another non-credit related reason, such default continues for a period of seven (7) or more Business Days after the Trustee receives written notice or a Trust Officer has actual knowledge of such administrative error, omission or other non-credit related reason);

(c) either of the Co-Issuers or the Assets becomes an investment company required to be registered under the Investment Company Act and such requirement has not been eliminated after a period of forty-five (45) days;

(d) except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.1, a default, in the performance, or breach, of any other covenant or other agreement of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer in this Indenture (it being understood, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, that any failure to meet any Concentration Limitation, Portfolio Quality Test, Coverage Test or the Reinvestment Diversion Test is not an Event of Default and any failure to satisfy the requirements described under Section 7.17 is not an Event of Default (excluding, with respect to any failure to satisfy the requirements described under Section 7.17, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, acting in bad faith in its actions thereunder)), or the failure of any representation or warranty of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer made in this Indenture or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith to be correct when the same shall have been made and such default, breach or failure, as applicable, has a material adverse effect on the Holders of any Class of Notes and the continuation of such default, breach or failure for a period of thirty (30) days after either notice (i) to the Collateral Manager by registered or certified mail or overnight courier from the Trustee or the Applicable Issuers or (ii) to the Applicable Issuers, the Collateral Manager and the Trustee by the Holders of a Majority of the Controlling Class, specifying such default, breach or failure and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder;

-105-

(e) on any Measurement Date so long as any Class A Notes are Outstanding, the failure of the quotient of (i) the sum of (A) the Collateral Principal Amount (excluding Defaulted Obligations), plus (B) the Market Value of each Defaulted Obligation, divided by (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes, to equal or exceed 102.5%.

(f) the entry of a decree or order by a court having competent jurisdiction adjudging the Issuer or the Co-Issuer as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer under the Bankruptcy Law or any other applicable law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, or sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or of any substantial part of its property, respectively, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days;

(g) the institution by the shareholders of the Issuer or the members of the Co-Issuer of Proceedings to have the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be, adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the shareholders of the Issuer or the members of the Co-Issuer to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency Proceedings against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be, or the filing by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under the Bankruptcy Law or any other similar applicable law, or the consent by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment in a Proceeding of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or of any substantial part of its property, respectively, or the making by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of any action by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer in furtherance of any such action; or

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to pay the Senior Subordinated Note Amount on any Payment Date due to the unavailability of funds in respect thereof will not constitute an Event of Default.

-106-

Upon obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default, each of (i) the Co-Issuers, (ii) the Trustee and (iii) the Collateral Manager shall notify each other in writing and the Trustee shall provide the notices of Default required under Section 6.2.

Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(f) or (g)), the Trustee shall, upon the written direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, by notice to the Applicable Issuers and the Rating Agencies, declare the principal of all the Secured Notes to be immediately due and payable, and upon any such declaration such principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and other amounts payable hereunder, shall become immediately due and payable and the Reinvestment Period shall terminate (subject to reinstatement upon the rescission of the related declaration of acceleration pursuant to Section 5.2(b)). If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(f) or (g) occurs, all unpaid principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of all the Secured Notes, and other amounts payable thereunder and hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Noteholder.

(a) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the Money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article V, a Majority of the Controlling Class by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(i) The Issuer or the Co-Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all unpaid installments of interest and principal then due on the Secured Notes (other than any principal amounts due to the occurrence of an acceleration);

(B) to the extent that the payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon any Deferred Interest at the applicable Note Interest Rates; and

(C) all unpaid taxes and Administrative Expenses of the Co-Issuers and other sums paid, incurred or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and any other amounts then payable by the Co-Issuers hereunder prior to such Administrative Expenses; and

(ii) if it has been determined that all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the interest on or principal of the Secured Notes, have (A) been cured, and a Majority of the Controlling Class by written notice to the Trustee has agreed with such determination (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld), or (B) been waived as provided in Section 5.14.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Any Hedge Agreement in effect upon such declaration of an acceleration must remain in effect until liquidation of the Assets has begun and such declaration is no longer capable of being rescinded or annulled; provided that the Issuer shall nevertheless be entitled to designate an early termination date under and in accordance with the terms of such Hedge Agreement.

-107-

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.2 to the contrary, the Secured Notes shall not be subject to acceleration by the Trustee or a Majority of the Controlling Class solely as a result of the failure to pay any amount due on Notes that are not of the Controlling Class.

Section 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Applicable Issuers covenant that if a default shall occur in respect of the payment of any principal of or interest when due and payable on any Secured Note, the Applicable Issuers shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holder of such Secured Note, the whole amount, if any, then due and payable on such Secured Note for principal and interest with interest upon the overdue principal, at the applicable Note Interest Rate, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel.

If the Issuer or the Co-Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall upon written direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Applicable Issuers or any other obligor upon the Secured Notes and collect the Monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Assets (subject, in each case, to the Trustee's rights hereunder, including Section 6.1(c)(iv)).

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall upon written direction of the Majority of the Controlling Class proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Secured Parties by such appropriate Proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual (if no such direction is received by the Trustee) or as the Trustee may be directed by the Majority of the Controlling Class, to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law (subject, in each case, to the Trustee's rights hereunder, including Section 6.1(c)(iv)).

In case there shall be pending Proceedings relative to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or any other obligor upon the Secured Notes under the Bankruptcy Law or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or their respective property or such other obligor or its property, or in case of any other comparable Proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or other obligor upon the Secured Notes, or the creditors or property of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, regardless of whether the principal of any Secured Note shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and regardless of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.3, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

-108-

(a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Secured Notes, as applicable, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Secured Noteholders or Holders allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or other obligor upon the Secured Notes or to the creditors or property of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or such other obligor;

(b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of the Secured Notes upon the direction of such Holders, in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency Proceedings or person performing similar functions in comparable Proceedings; and

(c) to collect and receive any Monies or other property payable to or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the Trustee on their behalf; and any trustee, receiver or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Secured Noteholders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Secured Noteholders to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Secured Noteholder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Notes or any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Noteholder in any such Proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person.

In any Proceedings brought by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of the Secured Notes (and any such Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party), the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Secured Notes.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, the Trustee may not sell or liquidate the Assets or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.3 except according to the provisions specified in Section 5.5(a).

Section 5.4 Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Secured Notes have been declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Co-Issuers agree that the Trustee shall, upon written direction of both (x) a Supermajority of the Controlling Class and (y) a Supermajority of each other Class of Secured Notes (voting separately by Class), provided that the Par Value Ratio applicable to the Class of Secured Notes ranking immediately senior to such Class of Secured Notes is greater than 100%, exercise one or more of the following rights, privileges and remedies to the extent permitted by applicable law (subject, in each case, to the Trustee's rights hereunder, including Section 6.1(c)(iv)):

-109-

(i) institute Proceedings for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Secured Notes or otherwise payable under this Indenture, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Assets any Monies adjudged due;

(ii) sell or cause the sale of all or a portion of the Assets or rights or interests therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law and in accordance with Section 5.17;

(iii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Assets;

(iv) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders of the Secured Notes hereunder (including, without limitation, exercising all rights of the Trustee under the Securities Account Control Agreement); and

(v) exercise any other rights and remedies that may be available at law or in equity;

provided that the Trustee may not sell or liquidate the Assets or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.4 except according to the provisions specified in Section 5.5(a).

The Trustee may, but need not, obtain (as an Administrative Expense of the Co-Issuers) and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation, or other appropriate advisor concerning the matter, which may (but need not) be the Initial Purchaser, as to the feasibility of any action proposed to be taken in accordance with this Section 5.4 and as to the sufficiency of the proceeds and other amounts receivable with respect to the Assets to make the required payments of principal of and interest on the Secured Notes, which opinion shall be conclusive evidence as to such feasibility or sufficiency and the cost of which shall be commercially reasonable.

(b) If an Event of Default as described in Section 5.1(d) hereof shall have occurred and be continuing the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of a Majority of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall, institute a Proceeding solely to compel performance of the covenant or agreement or to cure the representation or warranty, the breach of which gave rise to the Event of Default under such Section, and enforce any equitable decree or order arising from such Proceeding (subject to the Trustee's rights hereunder, including Section 6.1(c)(iv)).

(c) Upon any sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial Proceedings, any Secured Party may bid for and purchase the Assets or any part thereof and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain, possess or dispose of such property in its or their own absolute right without accountability; and any purchaser at any such sale of Assets may, in paying the purchase Money, deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any of the Class A Notes in lieu of Cash equal to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable on the Class A Notes so delivered by such Holder (taking into account the Priority of Payments and Article XIII). Said Notes, in case the amounts payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Holders thereof after proper notation has been made thereon to show partial payment.

Upon any sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial Proceedings, the receipt of the Trustee, or of the Officer making a sale under judicial Proceedings, shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for its or their purchase Money, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obliged to see to the application thereof.

Any such sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial Proceedings, shall bind the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders of the Secured Notes, shall operate to divest all right, title and interest whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of each of them in and to the property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each of them and their successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming through or under them.

(d) (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, none of the Noteholders, the Trustee or the other Secured Parties may, prior to the date which is one year and one day (or if longer, any applicable preference period plus one day) after the payment in full of all Notes, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation Proceedings, or other Proceedings under Cayman Islands, U.S. federal or State bankruptcy or similar laws. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Trustee (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned period in (A) any case or Proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or (B) any involuntary insolvency Proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Trustee, or (ii) from commencing against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or any of its properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation Proceeding.

(ii) In the event one or more Holders or beneficial owners of Notes institutes, or joins in the institution of, a proceeding described in clause (i) above against the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary in violation of the prohibition described above, such Holder(s) or beneficial owner(s) shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree that any claim that such Holder(s) or beneficial owner(s) have against the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary, as applicable, or with respect to any Assets (including any proceeds thereof) shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Priority of Payments, be fully subordinate in right of payment to the claims of each Holder and beneficial owner of any Secured Note that does not seek to cause any such filing, with such subordination being effective until each Secured Note held by each Holder or beneficial owners of any Secured Note that does not seek to cause any such filing is paid in full in accordance with the Priority of Payments (after giving effect to such subordination). The terms described in the immediately preceding sentence are referred to herein as the "Bankruptcy Subordination Agreement." The Bankruptcy Subordination Agreement is intended to constitute a "subordination agreement" within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended from time to time (or any successor statute)). The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon an Issuer Order with respect to the payment of any amounts payable to Holders, which amounts are subordinated pursuant to this Section 5.4(d)(ii). In order to give effect to the foregoing, the Issuer will, to the extent necessary, obtain and assign a separate CUSIP or CUSIPs to the Notes of each Class held by such Holders.

-111-

(e) The Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, shall, so long as any Notes remain Outstanding and for a year and a day thereafter, and subject to the proviso below, timely file an answer and any other appropriate pleading objecting to (i) the institution of any Proceeding to have the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be, adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent or (ii) the filing of any petition seeking relief, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be, under Bankruptcy Law or any other applicable law; provided, that the obligations set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be subject to the availability of funds therefor under the Priority of Payments. The reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Issuer or Co-Issuer (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with taking any such action shall be paid as Administrative Expenses.

Section 5.5 Optional Preservation of Assets. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall retain the Assets securing the Secured Notes intact (except as otherwise permitted or required by Sections 7.8(d), 7.8(e), 7.16, 10.7 and Article XII), collect and cause the collection of the proceeds thereof and make and apply all payments and deposits and maintain all accounts in respect of the Assets and the Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the provisions of Article X, Article XII and Article XIII unless:

(i) the Trustee, pursuant to Section 5.5(d), determines that the anticipated proceeds of a sale or liquidation of all or any portion of the Assets (after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation) would be sufficient to discharge in full the amounts then due (or, in the case of interest, accrued) and unpaid on the Secured Notes for principal and interest (including accrued and unpaid Deferred Interest) and all amounts payable prior to payment of principal on such Secured Notes (including (x) amounts due and owing as Administrative Expenses (without regard to the Administrative Expense Cap), (y) amounts payable to the Collateral Manager as Senior Management Fees, and (z) amounts payable to any Hedge Counterparty upon liquidation of all or any portion of the Assets) and a Majority of the Controlling Class agrees with such determination; or

(ii) (A) with respect to an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(a) or (e) (without regard to the occurrence of any other Event of Default prior or subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default, unless such Event Default occurred solely as a result of acceleration), the Holders of at least a Supermajority of the Controlling Class direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets or (B) with respect to any other Event of Default, Holders of at least (a) a Supermajority of the Controlling Class and (b) a Supermajority of each other Class of Secured Notes (voting separately by Class) with respect to which the Par Value Ratio applicable to the Class of Secured Notes ranking immediately senior to such Class of Secured Notes is greater than 100%, direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets.

-112-

The Trustee shall give written notice of the retention of the Assets to the Issuer with a copy to the Co-Issuer and the Collateral Manager. So long as such Event of Default is continuing, any such retention pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) may be rescinded at any time when the conditions specified in clause (i) or (ii) exist.

In the event a liquidation of all or any portion of the Assets is commenced in accordance with this Section 5.5, all unpaid principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of all the Secured Notes, and other amounts payable under this Indenture, shall automatically become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Noteholder.

(b) Prior to the sale of any Collateral Obligation in connection with a sale or liquidation of all or any portion of the Assets pursuant to Section 5.5(a), the Trustee will notify the Collateral Manager of the highest bid price and the Collateral Manager or an Affiliate thereof shall have the right to purchase such Collateral Obligation at a price equal to the highest bid price received by the Trustee in connection with any such sale and liquidation.

(c) Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee to sell the Assets securing the Secured Notes if the conditions set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 5.5(a) are not satisfied. Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee to preserve the Assets securing the Notes if prohibited by applicable law.

(d) In determining whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Trustee shall, with the written consent of the Majority of the Controlling Class, request bid prices with respect to each security contained in the Assets from two nationally recognized dealers at the time making a market in such securities (as identified by the Collateral Manager to the Trustee in writing) and shall compute the anticipated proceeds of sale or liquidation on the basis of the lower of such bid prices for each such security. In the event that the Trustee, with the cooperation of the Collateral Manager, is only able to obtain bid prices with respect to a security contained in the Assets from one nationally recognized dealer at the time making a market in such securities, the Trustee shall compute the anticipated proceeds of sale or liquidation on the basis of such one bid price for such security. For the purposes of making the determinations required pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i), the Trustee shall apply the standards set forth in Section 6.3(c)(i) or (ii). In addition, for the purposes of determining issues relating to the execution of a sale or liquidation of all or any portion of the Assets and the execution of a sale or other liquidation thereof in connection with a determination whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Trustee may retain and conclusively rely without limitation on an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation or other appropriate advisor concerning the matter (the cost of which shall be payable as an Administrative Expense).

-113-

The Trustee shall deliver to the Noteholders and the Collateral Manager a report stating the results of any determination required pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i) no later than ten (10) days after such determination is made. Unless a Majority of the Controlling Class has not consented to the Trustee making a determination pursuant to Section 5.5(d), the Trustee shall make the determinations required by Section 5.5(a)(i) at the request of a Majority of the Controlling Class at any time, but not more frequently than once in any calendar quarter, during which the Trustee retains the Assets pursuant to Section 5.5(a).

Section 5.6 Trustee May Enforce Claims without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or under any of the Secured Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Secured Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceeding relating thereto, and any such action or Proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7.

Section 5.7 Application of Money Collected. Any Money collected by the Trustee (after payment of costs of collection, liquidation and enforcement) with respect to the Notes pursuant to this Article V and any Money that may then be held or thereafter received by the Trustee with respect to the Notes hereunder shall be applied, subject to Section 13.1 and in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1(a)(iii), at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee (each such date to be deemed a Payment Date). Upon the final distribution of all proceeds of any liquidation effected hereunder, the provisions of Section 4.1(a) and (b) shall be deemed satisfied for the purposes of discharging this Indenture pursuant to Article IV.

Section 5.8 Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default;

(b) the Holders of a Majority of the then Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute Proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder and such Holder or Holders have provided the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(c) the Trustee, for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and provision of such indemnity, has failed to institute any such Proceeding; and

(d) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 30 day period by a Majority of the Controlling Class;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes of the same Class or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders of the Notes of the same Class or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Notes of the same Class subject to and in accordance with Section 13.1 and the Priority of Payments.

-114-

In the event the Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of the Controlling Class, each representing less than a Majority of the Controlling Class, pursuant to this Section 5.8, the Trustee shall act in accordance with the request specified by the group of Holders with the greatest percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture. If the groups represent the same percentage, the Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken.

Section 5.9 Unconditional Rights of Secured Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest. Subject to Sections 2.8(i), 2.13, 5.14, 6.15 and 13.1, but notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Secured Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Secured Note as such principal and interest becomes due and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Section 13.1, and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.4(d) and Section 5.8, to institute Proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. Holders of Secured Notes ranking junior to Notes still Outstanding shall have no right to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment until such time as no Secured Note ranking senior to such Secured Note remains Outstanding, which right shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.4(d) and Section 5.8, and shall not be impaired without the consent of any such Holder.

Section 5.10 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Noteholder shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Noteholder shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.11 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.12 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or any Holder of Secured Notes to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein or of a subsequent Event of Default. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Secured Notes may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of the Secured Notes.

-115-

Section 5.13 Control by Majority of Controlling Class. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, but subject to Section 5.5(a)(ii), a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right following the occurrence, and during the continuance of, an Event of Default to cause the institution of and direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, and to direct the exercise of any trust, right, remedy or power conferred upon the Trustee; provided that:

(a) such direction shall not conflict with any rule of law or with any express provision of this Indenture;

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; provided that subject to Section 6.1, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or expense (unless the Trustee has received the indemnity as set forth in (c) below);

(d) notwithstanding the foregoing, any direction to the Trustee to undertake a Sale of the Assets shall be by the Holders of Notes secured thereby representing the requisite percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of Notes specified in Section 5.5(a).

Section 5.14 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the time a judgment or decree for payment of the Money due has been obtained by the Trustee or prior to the acceleration of the Secured Notes, as provided in this Article V, a Majority of the Controlling Class may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past Default and its consequences, except a Default:

(a) in the payment of the principal of any Secured Note (which may be waived with the consent of each Holder of such Secured Note);

(b) in the payment of interest on the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes or the Notes of the Controlling Class (which may be waived with the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes or the Notes of the Controlling Class, as applicable);

(c) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Section 8.2 cannot be modified or amended without the waiver or consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note materially and adversely affected thereby (which may be waived with the consent of each such Holder); or

(d) in respect of a representation contained in Section 7.18 (which may be waived by a Majority of the Controlling Class if the Xxxxx'x Rating Condition is satisfied).

In the case of any such waiver, the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto. The Trustee shall promptly give written notice of any such waiver to Xxxxx'x, Fitch the Collateral Manager and each Holder.

-116-

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 5.15 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee, Collateral Administrator or Collateral Manager for any action taken, or omitted by it as Trustee, Collateral Administrator or Collateral Manager, as applicable, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the applicable Stated Maturity (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date).

Section 5.16 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Co-Issuers covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any valuation, appraisement, redemption or marshalling law or rights, in each case wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants, the performance of or any remedies under this Indenture; and the Co-Issuers (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law or rights, and covenant that they shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted or rights created.

Section 5.17 Sale of Assets. (a) The power to effect any sale (a "Sale") of all or any portion of the Assets pursuant to Section 5.4 and 5.5 shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of such Assets remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Assets shall have been sold or all amounts secured by the Assets shall have been paid. The Trustee may upon notice provided as soon as reasonably practicable to the Noteholders, and shall, upon direction of the Holders of Notes representing the requisite percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of Notes having the power to direct such Sale, from time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale pursuant to Section 5.5. The Trustee hereby expressly waives its rights to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale; provided that the Trustee and the Collateral Manager shall be authorized to deduct the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by it in connection with such Sale from the proceeds thereof notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7.

-117-

(a) The Trustee or the Collateral Manager may bid for and acquire any portion of the Assets in connection with a public Sale thereof, and may pay all or part of the purchase price by crediting against amounts owing on the Secured Notes or other amounts secured by the Assets, all or part of the net proceeds of such Sale after deducting the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such Sale notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7. The Secured Notes need not be produced in order to complete any such Sale, or in order for the net proceeds of such Sale to be credited against amounts owing on the Notes. The Trustee may hold, lease, operate, manage or otherwise deal with any property so acquired in any manner permitted by law in accordance with this Indenture.

(b) If any portion of the Assets consists of securities issued without registration under the Securities Act ("Unregistered Securities"), the Trustee may seek an Opinion of Counsel, or, if no such Opinion of Counsel can be obtained and with the written consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class, seek a no action position from the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other relevant federal or State regulatory authorities, regarding the legality of a public or private Sale of such Unregistered Securities.

(c) The Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Assets in connection with a Sale thereof without recourse, representation or warranty. In addition, the Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney in fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Assets in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale. No purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee's authority, to inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any Monies.

(d) The Trustee shall provide notice as soon as reasonably practicable of any public Sale to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes, and the Holders of the Subordinated Notes shall be permitted to participate in any such public Sale to the extent such Holders meet any applicable eligibility requirements with respect to such Sale.

Section 5.18 Action on the Notes. The Trustee's right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking or obtaining of or application for any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Assets or upon any of the assets of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer.

ARTICLE VI

THE TRUSTEE

Section 6.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default known to the Trustee:

-118-

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided that in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly, but in any event within three Business Days in the case of an Officer's certificate furnished by the Collateral Manager, notify the party delivering the same if such certificate or opinion does not conform. If a corrected form shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within fifteen days after such notice from the Trustee, the Trustee shall so notify the Noteholders (with a copy to the Collateral Manager).

(b) In case an Event of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from a Majority of the Controlling Class or such other percentage of Holders as required by this Indenture, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this Section 6.1;

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it shall be proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager in accordance with this Indenture and/or a Majority (or such other percentage as may be required by the terms hereof) of the Controlling Class (or other Class if required or permitted by the terms hereof), relating to the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture;

(iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it unless such risk or liability relates to the performance of its ordinary services, including mailing of notices under Article V, under this Indenture (and it is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed, without implied limitation, that the enforcement or exercise of rights and remedies under Article V, and/or the commencement of or participation in any legal proceeding does not constitute "ordinary services");

-119-

(v) in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of the form of such action; and

(vi) the Trustee shall have no obligation to determine or notify if the U.S. Risk Retention Rules have been satisfied.

(d) For all purposes under this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default described in Sections 5.1(c), (d), (f), or (g) or any other matter unless a Trust Officer assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such an Event of Default or Default or other matter, as the case may be, is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Notes generally, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Assets or this Indenture. For purposes of determining the Trustee's responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is made in this Indenture to such an Event of Default or a Default, such reference shall be construed to refer only to such an Event of Default or Default of which the Trustee is deemed to have notice as described in this Section 6.1.

(e) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1.

(f) In addition to its other obligations set forth herein, the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall provide any information actually in its possession and readily available to the Collateral Manager promptly after the Collateral Manager's reasonable request therefor provided that the Trustee shall not be obligated to provide any information that it may be restricted from doing so by legal, regulatory or contractual reasons.

(g) The Trustee shall, upon reasonable (but no less than three Business Days') prior written notice to the Trustee, permit any representative of a Holder of a Note, during the Trustee's normal business hours, to examine all books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Trustee (other than items protected by attorney-client privilege) relating to the Notes, to make copies and extracts therefrom (the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in making any such copies or extracts to be reimbursed to the Trustee by such Holder) and to discuss the Trustee's actions, as such actions relate to the Trustee's duties with respect to the Notes, with the Trustee's Officers and employees responsible for carrying out the Trustee's duties with respect to the Notes.

-120-

Section 6.2 Notice of Default. As soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than two Business Days) after the occurrence of any Default actually known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee or after any declaration of acceleration has been made or delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.2, the Trustee shall give notice to the Co-Issuers, the Collateral Manager, DTC, the Rating Agencies, each Hedge Counterparty, each Paying Agent and all Holders, as their names and addresses appear on the Register, and the Irish Stock Exchange by delivery to the Irish Listing Agent, for so long as any Class of Notes is listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and so long as the guidelines of such exchange so require, of all Defaults hereunder actually known to the Trust Officer of the Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived.

Section 6.3 Certain Rights of Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1:

(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report (including any accountants' report), notice, request, direction, consent, order, note or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) any request or direction of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Request or an Issuer Order;

(c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall (i) deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer's certificate or Issuer Order, or (ii) be required to determine the value of any Assets or funds hereunder or the cash flows projected to be received therefrom, the Trustee may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely on reports of nationally recognized accountants, investment bankers or other Persons qualified to provide the information required to make such determination, including nationally recognized dealers in securities of the type being valued and securities quotation services;

(d) as a condition to the taking or omitting of any action by it hereunder, the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

(e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise, enforce or to honor any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have provided to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) and liabilities which might reasonably be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

(f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, note or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may, and upon the written direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class or of a Rating Agency shall (subject to the right of the Trustee hereunder to be satisfactorily indemnified), make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit or as it shall be directed, and the Trustee shall be entitled, on reasonable prior notice to the Co-Issuers and the Collateral Manager, to examine the books and records relating to the Notes and the Assets, personally or by agent or attorney, during the Co-Issuers' or the Collateral Manager's normal business hours; provided that the Trustee shall, and shall cause its agents to, hold in confidence all such information, except (i) to the extent disclosure may be required by law or by any regulatory, administrative or governmental authority and (ii) to the extent that the Trustee, in its sole judgment, may determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder; provided, further, that the Trustee may disclose on a confidential basis any such information to its agents, attorneys and auditors in connection with the performance of its responsibilities hereunder;

(g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys; provided that the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any non-Affiliated agent or non-Affiliated attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;

(h) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers hereunder;

(i) nothing herein shall be construed to impose an obligation on the part of the Trustee to recalculate, evaluate, verify or independently determine the accuracy of any report, certificate or information received from the Issuer or Collateral Manager (except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth herein);

(j) to the extent any defined term hereunder, or any calculation required to be made or determined by the Trustee hereunder, is dependent upon or defined by reference to generally accepted accounting principles (as in effect in the United States) ("GAAP"), the Trustee shall be entitled to request and receive (and conclusively rely upon) instruction from the Issuer or the accountants identified in the Accountants' Report (and in the absence of its receipt of timely instruction therefrom, shall be entitled to obtain from an Independent accountant at the expense of the Issuer) as to the application of GAAP in such connection, in any instance;

(k) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of this Indenture or otherwise;

(m) the permissive rights of the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any actions enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty;

-122-

(n) the Trustee shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control (such circumstances include but are not limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services) and shall not be responsible or liable for any inaccuracies in the books and records of the Collateral Manager, any Clearing Agency, Euroclear, Clearstream or any other intermediary (other than the Bank in its individual or other capacities hereunder), or for the actions or omissions of any such Person hereunder (including compliance with the procedures relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 in accordance with and to the extent set forth in Section 14.16) or under any document executed in connection herewith;

(o) in making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its Affiliates, whether it or such Affiliate is acting as a subagent of the Trustee or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. If otherwise qualified, obligations of the Bank or any of its Affiliates shall qualify as Eligible Investments hereunder;

Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Trustee upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party or its agents in order to enable the Trustee to comply with Applicable Law. In accordance with the U.S. Unlawful Internet Gambling Act (the "Gambling Act"), the Issuer may not use the Accounts or other Bank facilities in the United States to process "restricted transactions" as such term is defined in U.S. 31 CFR Section 132.2(y). Therefore, neither the Issuer nor any person who has an ownership interest in or control over the Accounts may use it to process or facilitate payments for prohibited internet gambling transactions;

(s) the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Collateral Manager with respect to whether or not a Collateral Obligation meets the criteria specified in the definition thereof and for the characterization, classification, designation or categorization of each Collateral Obligation to the extent such characterization, classification, designation or categorization is subjective or judgmental in nature or based on information not readily available to the Trustee and Collateral Administrator;

-123-

(t) in the event the Bank is also acting in the capacity of Paying Agent, Registrar, Transfer Agent, financial reporting agent, Custodian, Calculation Agent or Securities Intermediary, the rights, protections, benefits, immunities and indemnities afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall also be afforded to the Bank acting in such capacities; provided that such rights, protections, benefits, immunities and indemnities shall be in addition to any rights, immunities and indemnities provided in the Securities Account Control Agreement or any other document to which the Bank in such capacity is a party;

(u) the Trustee shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Indenture or any supplemental indenture or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording, filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof or (ii) to maintain any insurance;

(v) the Collateral Administrator shall have the same rights, privileges and indemnities afforded to the Trustee in Sections 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5; provided that such rights, immunities and indemnities shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any rights, immunities and indemnities provided in the Collateral Administration Agreement and that, in connection therewith, references in such Sections to "Trust Officer" shall mean an officer of the Collateral Administrator.

Section 6.4 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes. The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, other than the Certificate of Authentication thereon, shall be taken as the statements of the Applicable Issuers; and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture (except as may be made with respect to the validity of the Trustee's obligations hereunder), the Assets or the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Co-Issuers of the Notes or the proceeds thereof or any Money paid to the Co-Issuers pursuant to the provisions hereof.

Section 6.5 May Hold Notes. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Registrar or any other agent of the Co-Issuers, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Co-Issuers or any of their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar or such other agent.

Section 6.6 Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee hereunder shall be held in trust to the extent required herein. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any Money received by it hereunder, except in its capacity as the Bank to the extent of income or other gain on investments which are deposits in or certificates of deposit of the Bank in its commercial capacity and income or other gain actually received by the Trustee on Eligible Investments.

-124-

Section 6.7 Compensation and Reimbursement. (a) The Issuer agrees:

(i) to pay the Trustee on each Payment Date reasonable compensation as set forth in a separate fee schedule dated on or before the Closing Date between the Trustee and the Issuer for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee in a timely manner upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, securities transaction charges and the reasonable compensation and expenses and disbursements of its agents and legal counsel and of any accounting firm or investment banking firm employed by the Trustee pursuant to Sections 5.4, 5.5, 10.7 or any other term of this Indenture, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) but with respect to securities transaction charges, only to the extent any such charges have not been waived during a Collection Period due to the Trustee's receipt of a payment from a financial institution with respect to certain Eligible Investments, as specified by the Collateral Manager in writing;

(iii) to indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on their part, and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and the transactions contemplated thereby and the documents related hereto, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs) against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder and under any other transaction document related hereto; and

(iv) to pay the Trustee reasonable additional compensation together with its expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) for any collection action taken pursuant to Section 6.13 or the exercise or enforcement of remedies pursuant to Article V.

(b) The Trustee shall receive amounts pursuant to this Section 6.7 in accordance with the Priority of Payments but only to the extent that funds are available for the payment thereof. Subject to Section 6.9, the Trustee shall continue to serve as Trustee under this Indenture notwithstanding the fact that the Trustee shall not have received amounts due it hereunder; provided that nothing herein shall impair or affect the Trustee's rights under Section 6.9. No direction by the Noteholders shall affect the right of the Trustee to collect amounts owed to it under this Indenture. If on any date when a fee or expense shall be payable to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture insufficient funds are available for the payment thereof, any portion of a fee not so paid shall be deferred and payable on such later date on which a fee shall be payable and sufficient funds are available therefor. The Issuer's obligations under this Section 6.7 shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.9.

-125-

(c) The Trustee hereby agrees not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy for the non-payment to the Trustee of any amounts provided by this Section 6.7 until at least one year and one day, or if longer the applicable preference period then in effect plus one day, after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 5.1(f) or (g), such expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Bankruptcy law or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

(d) The Issuer's payment obligations to the Trustee under this Section 6.7 shall be secured by the lien of this Indenture payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. To the extent that the entity acting as Trustee is acting as Registrar, Calculation Agent, Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent, Securities Intermediary or Custodian, the rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities set forth in this Article VI shall also apply to it acting in each such capacity.

Section 6.8 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be an organization or entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$200,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, having a long-term debt rating of at least "Baa1" by Xxxxx'x and, if rated by Fitch, a long-term credit rating of at least "A" by Fitch and a short-term credit rating of at least "F1" by Fitch, and having an office within the United States. If such organization or entity publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.8, the combined capital and surplus of such organization or entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent published report of condition. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.8, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VI.

Section 6.9 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 6.10.

(a) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Co-Issuers, the Collateral Manager, the Holders of the Notes and the Rating Agencies not less than 60 days prior to such resignation. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Co-Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees satisfying the requirements of Section 6.8 by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by an Authorized Officer of the Issuer and an Authorized Officer of the Co-Issuer, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee so resigning and one copy to the successor Trustee or Trustees, together with a copy to each Holder and the Collateral Manager; provided that the Issuer shall provide prior written notice to the Rating Agencies of any such appointment; provided, further, that the Issuer shall not appoint such successor trustee or trustees without the consent of a Majority of the Secured Notes of each Class voting as a single class (or, at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or when a successor Trustee has been appointed pursuant to Section 6.9(e), by an Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class) unless (i) the Issuer gives ten days' prior written notice to the Holders of such amendment and (ii) a Majority of the Secured Notes (or, at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or when a successor Trustee has been appointed pursuant to Section 6.9(e), a Majority of the Controlling Class) do not provide written notice to the Issuer objecting to such appointment (the failure of any such Majority to provide such notice to the Issuer within ten days of receipt of notice of such appointment from the Issuer being conclusively deemed to constitute hereunder consent to such appointment and approval of such successor trustee or trustees). If no successor Trustee shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or any Holder, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 6.8.

-126-

(b) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of a Majority of each Class of Secured Notes voting separately or, at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing by an Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class, delivered to the Trustee and to the Co-Issuers.

(i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.8 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Co-Issuers or a Majority of the Controlling Class; or

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

then, in any such case (subject to Section 6.9(a)), (A) the Co-Issuers, by Issuer Order, may remove the Trustee, or (B) subject to Section 5.15, any Holder may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(d) If the Trustee shall be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee for any reason (other than resignation), the Co-Issuers, by Issuer Order, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If the Co-Issuers shall fail to appoint a successor Trustee within 60 days after such removal or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee may be appointed by a Majority of the Controlling Class by written instrument delivered to the Issuer and the retiring Trustee. The successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede any successor Trustee proposed by the Co-Issuers. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Co-Issuers or a Majority of the Controlling Class and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, subject to Section 5.15, the retiring Trustee may, or any Holder may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

-127-

(e) The Co-Issuers shall give prompt notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee by mailing written notice of such event by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Collateral Manager, to the Holders of the Notes as their names and addresses appear in the Register and to the Rating Agencies. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. If the Co-Issuers fail to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Co-Issuers.

(f) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee under this Section 6.9 shall be an effective resignation or removal of the Bank in all capacities under this Indenture.

Section 6.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall meet the requirements of Section 6.8 and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Co-Issuers and the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment. Upon delivery of the required instruments, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Co-Issuers or a Majority of any Class of Secured Notes or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and Money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Co-Issuers shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

Section 6.11 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Trustee. Any organization or entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any organization or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any organization or entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided that such organization or entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VI, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any of the Notes has been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

Section 6.12 Co-trustees. At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Assets may at the time be located, the Co-Issuers and the Trustee shall have power to appoint one or more Persons to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee, of all or any part of the Assets, with the power to file such proofs of claim and take such other actions pursuant to Section 5.6 and to make such claims and enforce such rights of action on behalf of the Holders, as such Holders themselves may have the right to do, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.12.

-128-

The Co-Issuers shall join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint a co-trustee. If the Co-Issuers do not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by them of a request to do so, the Trustee shall have the power to make such appointment.

Should any written instrument from the Co-Issuers be required by any co-trustee so appointed, more fully confirming to such co-trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Co-Issuers. The Co-Issuers agree to pay (but only from and to the extent of the Assets), to the extent funds are available therefor under the Priority of Payments, any reasonable fees and expenses in connection with such appointment.

Every co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms:

(a) the Notes shall be authenticated and delivered and all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, Cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised solely by the Trustee;

(b) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Trustee in respect of any property covered by the appointment of a co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee jointly as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee;

(c) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Co-Issuers evidenced by an Issuer Order, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee appointed under this Section 6.12, and in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall have the power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee without the concurrence of the Co-Issuers. A successor to any co-trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section 6.12;

(d) no co-trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Trustee hereunder;

(e) the Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any act or omission of a co-trustee; and

(f) any Act of Holders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each co-trustee.

Section 6.13 Certain Duties of Trustee Related to Delayed Payment of Proceeds. In the event that in any month the Trustee receives notice from the Collateral Manager or the Collateral Administrator that a payment has not been received with respect to any Pledged Obligation on its Due Date, (a) the Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Collateral Manager in writing or electronically and (b) unless within three Business Days (or the end of the applicable grace period for such payment, if longer) after such notice such payment shall have been received by the Trustee, or the Issuer, in its absolute discretion (but only to the extent permitted by Section 10.2(a)), shall have made provision for such payment satisfactory to the Trustee in accordance with Section 10.2(a), the Trustee shall request the issuer of such Pledged Obligation, the trustee under the related Underlying Instrument or paying agent designated by either of them, as the case may be, to make such payment as soon as practicable after such request but in no event later than three Business Days after the date of such request. In the event that such payment is not made within such time period, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of clause (iv) of Section 6.1(c), shall take such action as the Collateral Manager shall reasonably direct in writing. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture. In the event that the Issuer or the Collateral Manager requests a release of a Pledged Obligation and/or delivers an additional Collateral Obligation in connection with any such action under the Collateral Management Agreement, such release and/or substitution shall be subject to Section 10.7 and Article XII of this Indenture, as the case may be. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer or its designee any payment with respect to any Pledged Obligation or any additional Collateral Obligation received after the Due Date thereof to the extent the Issuer previously made provisions for such payment satisfactory to the Trustee in accordance with this Section 6.13 and such payment shall not be deemed part of the Assets.

-129-

Section 6.14 Authenticating Agents. Upon the request of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee shall, and if the Trustee so chooses the Trustee may, appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 and 8.5, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by such Sections to authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 6.14 shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes by the Trustee.

Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.

Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Co-Issuers. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Issuer, promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the Co-Issuers.

Unless the Authenticating Agent is also the same entity as the Trustee, the Issuer agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating thereto as an Administrative Expense under Section 11.1. The provisions of Sections 2.9, 6.4 and 6.5 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

-130-

Section 6.15 Withholding. If any withholding tax is imposed on the Issuer's payments under the Notes to any Holder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Holder. The Trustee or any Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to any Holder sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Issuer (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trustee or such Paying Agent from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Issuer shall, upon the Trustee's request, provide information necessary to determine the nature of any income received and whether any tax or withholding obligations apply. The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to any Holder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Holder at the time it is withheld by the Trustee or any Paying Agent. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution and the Trustee or any Paying Agent has not received documentation from such Holder showing an exemption from withholding, the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 6.15. If any Holder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall reasonably cooperate with such Holder in making such claim so long as such Holder agrees to reimburse the Trustee or such Paying Agent for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred. Nothing herein shall impose an obligation on the part of the Trustee or any Paying Agent to determine the amount of any tax or withholding obligation on the part of the Issuer or in respect of the Notes.

Section 6.16 Representative for Secured Noteholders Only; Agent for each Hedge Counterparty and the Holders of the Subordinated Notes. With respect to the security interest created hereunder, the delivery of any Asset to the Trustee is to the Trustee as representative of the Secured Noteholders and agent for each other Secured Party and the Holders of the Subordinated Notes. In furtherance of the foregoing, the possession by the Trustee of any Asset, the endorsement to or registration in the name of the Trustee of any Asset (including without limitation as Entitlement Holder of the Custodial Account) are all undertaken by the Trustee in its capacity as representative of the Secured Noteholders and agent for each other Secured Party and the Holders of the Subordinated Notes.

Section 6.17 Representations and Warranties of the Bank. The Bank hereby represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Organization. The Bank has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited purpose national banking association under the laws of the United States and has the power to conduct its business and affairs as a trustee.

(b) Authorization; Binding Obligations. The Bank has the corporate power and authority to perform the duties and obligations of trustee under this Indenture. The Bank has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Indenture, and all of the documents required to be executed by the Bank pursuant hereto. Upon execution and delivery by the Bank, this Indenture shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Bank enforceable against the Bank in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, liquidation and similar laws affecting the rights of creditors, and subject to equitable principles including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (whether enforcement is sought in a legal or equitable Proceeding), and except that certain of such obligations may be enforceable solely against the Assets.

-131-

(d) No Conflict. Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Indenture, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture, is prohibited by, or requires the Bank to obtain any consent, authorization, approval or registration with any United States federal agency or other governmental body under any United States federal regulation or law having jurisdiction over the banking or trust powers of the Bank.

Section 6.18 Communication with Rating Agencies. Subject to Section 14.16, any written communication, including any confirmation, from any Rating Agency provided for or required to be obtained by the Trustee hereunder shall be sufficient in each case when such communication or confirmation is received by the Trustee, including by electronic message, facsimile, press release, posting to such Rating Agency's website, or other means then considered industry standard; provided that the Trustee shall have no obligation to monitor any Rating Agency website. For the avoidance of doubt, no written communication given by Xxxxx'x under this Section 6.18 shall be deemed to satisfy the Xxxxx'x Rating Condition unless such communication is provided by Xxxxx'x specifically in satisfaction of the Xxxxx'x Rating Condition.

Section 6.19 Provisions related to the Collateral Management Agreement. In accordance with the notice provisions hereof, the Trustee shall promptly (and in no event later than three Business Days) upon receiving any written notice expressly required to be provided to the Trustee under the Collateral Management Agreement, provide a copy to the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. The Trustee shall, in accordance with the notice provisions hereof and promptly upon receipt of an Issuer Order, forward any notice received in connection with the Collateral Management Agreement to such Noteholders as set forth in such Issuer Order. In accordance with the notice provisions hereof, the Issuer shall promptly forward to all Holders of Notes the details of any amendment pursuant to Section 18(b) of the Collateral Management Agreement.

The Co-Issuers may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of any such agent or appoint any additional agents for any or all of such purposes; provided that the Co-Issuers shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Co-Issuers in respect of such Notes and this Indenture may be served and, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, an office or agency outside of the United States where Notes may be presented and surrendered for payment; provided, further, that no paying agent shall be appointed in a jurisdiction which subjects payments on the Notes to withholding tax as a result of such appointment.

Section 7.3 Money for Note Payments to Be Held in Trust. All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Payment Account shall be made on behalf of the Applicable Issuers by the Trustee or a Paying Agent with respect to payments on the Notes.

When the Applicable Issuers shall have a Paying Agent that is not also the Registrar, they shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, no later than the fifth calendar day after each Record Date a list, if necessary, in such form as such Paying Agent may reasonably request, of the names and addresses of the Holders and of the certificate numbers of individual Notes held by each such Holder.

Whenever the Applicable Issuers shall have a Paying Agent other than the Trustee, they shall, on or before the Business Day next preceding each Payment Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be, direct the Trustee to deposit on such Payment Date with such Paying Agent, if necessary, an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due (to the extent funds are then available for such purpose in the Payment Account), such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Co-Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. Any Monies deposited with a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) in excess of an amount sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due on the Notes with respect to which such deposit was made shall be paid over by such Paying Agent to the Trustee for application in accordance with Article X.

The initial Paying Agent shall be as set forth in Section 7.2. Any additional or successor Paying Agents shall be appointed by Issuer Order with written notice thereof to the Trustee; provided that so long as the Notes of any Class are rated by the Rating Agencies, with respect to any additional or successor Paying Agent, either (i) such Paying Agent has a long-term debt rating of "A1" or higher by Xxxxx'x or a short-term debt rating of "P-1" by Xxxxx'x or (ii) the Xxxxx'x Rating Condition is satisfied. In the event that such successor Paying Agent ceases to have a long-term debt rating of "A1" or higher by Xxxxx'x or a short-term debt rating of "P-1" by Xxxxx'x, the Co-Issuers shall promptly remove such Paying Agent and appoint a successor Paying Agent. The Co-Issuers shall not appoint any Paying Agent that is not, at the time of such appointment, a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision and examination by federal and/or state and/or national banking authorities. The Co-Issuers shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee and if the Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3, that such Paying Agent shall:

(a) allocate all sums received for payment to the Holders of Notes for which it acts as Paying Agent on each Payment Date and any Redemption Date among such Holders in the proportion specified in the applicable Distribution Report or report pertaining to such Redemption Date to the extent permitted by applicable law;

(b) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

-134-

(c) if such Paying Agent is not the Trustee, immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards set forth above required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment;

(d) if such Paying Agent is not the Trustee, immediately give the Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment required to be made; and

(e) if such Paying Agent is not the Trustee, during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

The Co-Issuers may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Co-Issuers or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Co-Issuers or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such Money.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, claims by holders of Notes in respect of principal and interest must be made to the Trustee or any Paying Agent if made within two years of such principal or interest becoming due and payable. Any Money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for any payment on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be paid to the Applicable Issuers on Issuer Order; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Applicable Issuers for payment of such amounts (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Applicable Issuers) and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust Money shall thereupon cease. The Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such release of payment, may, but shall not be required to, adopt and employ, at the expense of the Applicable Issuers any reasonable means of notification of such release of payment, including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such release to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in Monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record of each such Holder.

-135-

(a) The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall ensure that all corporate or other formalities regarding their respective existences (including, to the extent required by applicable law, holding regular board of directors' and shareholders' meetings or other similar meetings) are followed. Neither the Issuer nor the Co-Issuer shall take any action, or conduct its affairs in a manner, that is likely to result in its separate existence being ignored or in its assets and liabilities being substantively consolidated with any other Person in a bankruptcy, reorganization, winding up or other insolvency proceeding. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) the Issuer shall not have any subsidiaries (other than the Co-Issuer and any Issuer Subsidiary), (ii) the Co-Issuer shall not have any subsidiaries and (iii) except to the extent contemplated in the Administration Agreement or the Issuer's declaration of trust dated June 29, 2017, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall not (A) have any employees (other than their respective directors), (B) except as contemplated by the Collateral Management Agreement, the Memorandum and Articles or the Administration Agreement, engage in any transaction with any shareholder that would constitute a conflict of interest or (C) pay dividends other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Memorandum and Articles.

Section 7.5 Protection of Assets. (a) The Issuer, or the Collateral Manager on behalf and at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause the taking of such action by the Issuer (or by the Collateral Manager if within the Collateral Manager's control under the Collateral Management Agreement) as is reasonably necessary in order to perfect and maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Trustee in the Assets. The Issuer shall from time to time prepare or cause to be prepared, execute, deliver and file all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such Financing Statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action as may be necessary or advisable or desirable to secure the rights and remedies of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Secured Notes hereunder and to:

(vii) pay or cause to be paid any and all taxes levied or assessed upon all or any part of the Assets.

The Issuer hereby designates the Trustee as its agent and attorney in fact to prepare and file or record any Financing Statement (other than the Financing Statement delivered on the Closing Date), continuation statement and all other instruments, and take all other actions, required pursuant to this Section 7.5; provided that such appointment shall not impose upon the Trustee any of the Issuer's or the Collateral Manager's obligations under this Section 7.5. In connection therewith, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, at the cost of the Issuer, and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel delivered in accordance with Section 7.6 as to the need to file, the dates by which such filings are required to be made and the jurisdiction in which such filings are to be made and the form and content of such filings. The Issuer further authorizes and shall cause the Issuer's United States counsel to file a Financing Statement that names the Issuer as debtor and the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as secured party and that describes "all assets in which the debtor now or hereafter has rights" as the Assets in which the Trustee has a Grant.

(b) The Trustee shall not, except in accordance with Article V and Sections 10.6, 12.1, and 12.4, as applicable, permit the removal of any portion of the Assets or transfer any such Assets from the Account to which it is credited, or cause or permit any change in the Delivery made pursuant to Section 3.3 with respect to any Assets, if, after giving effect thereto, the jurisdiction governing the perfection of the Trustee's security interest in such Assets is different from the jurisdiction governing the perfection at the time of delivery of the most recent Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 7.6 (or, if no Opinion of Counsel has yet been delivered pursuant to Section 7.6, the Opinion of Counsel delivered at the Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(iii)) unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the lien and security interest created by this Indenture with respect to such property and the priority thereof shall continue to be maintained after giving effect to such action or actions.

-137-

(c) The Issuer shall register the security interests created by this Indenture in the Register of Mortgages and Charges maintained at the Issuer's registered office in the Cayman Islands.

Section 7.6 Opinions as to Assets.

Section 7.7 Performance of Obligations. (a) The Co-Issuers, each as to itself, shall not take any action, and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others, that would release any Person from any of such Person's covenants or obligations under any instrument included in the Assets, except in the case of pricing amendments, ordinary course waivers/amendments, and enforcement action taken with respect to any Defaulted Obligation in accordance with the provisions hereof and actions by the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement and in conformity with this Indenture or as otherwise required hereby.

Notwithstanding any such arrangement, the Applicable Issuers shall remain primarily liable with respect thereto. In the event of such contract, the performance of such actions and obligations by such Persons shall be deemed to be performance of such actions and obligations by the Applicable Issuers; and the Applicable Issuers shall punctually perform, and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Collateral Manager, the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator and such other Person to perform, all of their obligations and agreements contained in the Collateral Management Agreement, this Indenture, the Collateral Administration Agreement or any such other agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Issuer shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Collateral Manager acting on the Issuer's behalf does not, acquire or own any asset, conduct any activity or take any action unless the acquisition or ownership of such asset, the conduct of such activity or the taking of such action, as the case may be, would not cause the Issuer to be engaged, or deemed to be engaged, in a trade or business within the United States for United States federal income tax purposes or otherwise to be subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis or income tax on a net income basis in any other jurisdiction. The requirements of this Section 7.8(d) will be deemed to be satisfied if the Issuer (and the Collateral Manager acting on the Issuer's behalf) complies with the Tax Guidelines, so long as there has not been a change in law subsequent to the date hereof that the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on the Issuer's behalf) actually knows (acting in good faith), when considered in light of the other activities by the Issuer, could reasonably cause the Issuer to be treated as being engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis notwithstanding compliance with the Tax Guidelines.

-140-

(e) In furtherance and not in limitation of Section 7.8(d), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Issuer shall comply with the Tax Guidelines, unless, with respect to a particular transaction, the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer) shall have received advice or an opinion of Ashurst LLP or Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, or an opinion of other tax counsel of nationally recognized standing in the United States experienced in such matters, to the effect that the Issuer's contemplated activities will not cause the Issuer to be engaged, or deemed to be engaged, in a trade or business within the United States for United States federal income tax purposes or otherwise to be subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis. The provisions set forth in the Tax Guidelines may be waived, amended, eliminated, modified or supplemented (without execution of an amendment to the Collateral Management Agreement) if the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer) shall have received advice or an opinion of Ashurst LLP or Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, or an opinion of other tax counsel of nationally recognized standing in the United States experienced in such matters to the effect that the Issuer's contemplated activities will not cause the Issuer to be engaged, or deemed to be engaged, in a trade or business within the United States for United States federal income tax purposes or otherwise to be subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event advice or an opinion of Ashurst LLP or Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, or an opinion of other tax counsel as described above has been obtained in accordance with the terms hereof, no consent of any Noteholder or satisfaction of the Xxxxx'x Rating Condition shall be required in order to comply with this Section 7.8(e) in connection with the waiver, amendment, elimination, modification or supplementation of any provision of the Tax Guidelines contemplated by such opinion of tax counsel.

(g) The Issuer shall not acquire or hold any Certificated Securities in bearer form (other than securities not required to be in registered form under Section 163(f)(2)(A) of the Code) in a manner that does not satisfy the requirements of United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.165-12(c).

(h) The Co-Issuer shall not fail to maintain an independent manager under its limited liability company agreement.

Section 7.15 Calculation Agent. (a) The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any Secured Notes remain Outstanding there shall at all times be an agent appointed (which does not control or is not controlled or under common control with the Issuer or its affiliates or the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates) to calculate LIBOR in respect of each Interest Accrual Period in accordance with the terms of Exhibit C hereto (the "Calculation Agent"). The Issuer hereby appoints the Collateral Administrator as Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer), or if the Calculation Agent fails to determine any of the information required to be sent to the Irish Listing Agent for release via the Irish Stock Exchange, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer) shall promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer or its affiliates or the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed. In addition, for so long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the guidelines of such exchange so require, notice of the appointment of any replacement Calculation Agent shall be sent to the Irish Listing Agent for release via the Irish Stock Exchange.

(a) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree (and the Collateral Administrator as Calculation Agent does hereby agree) that, as soon as practicable after 11:00 a.m. London time on each Interest Determination Date, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. New York time on the London Banking Day immediately following each Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall calculate the Note Interest Rate for each Class of Secured Notes and the Senior Subordinated Note Rate for the Senior Subordinated Notes for the next Interest Accrual Period and the Note Interest Amount for each Class of Secured Notes and the Senior Subordinated Note Amount for the Senior Subordinated Notes (in each case, rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upward) for the next Interest Accrual Period, on the related Payment Date. At such time the Calculation Agent shall communicate such rates and amounts to the Co-Issuers, the Trustee, each Paying Agent, the Collateral Manager, Euroclear and Clearstream and, so long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, to the Irish Listing Agent for delivery to the Irish Stock Exchange. The Calculation Agent shall also specify to the Co-Issuers the quotations upon which the foregoing rates and amounts are based, and in any event the Calculation Agent shall notify the Co-Issuers before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on every Interest Determination Date if it has not determined and is not in the process of determining any such Note Interest Rate, Senior Subordinated Note Rate. Note Interest Amount or Senior Subordinated Note Amount, together with its reasons therefor. The Calculation Agent's determination of the foregoing rates and amounts for any Interest Accrual Period shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties.

Section 7.16 Certain Tax Matters. (a) The Issuer and the Co-Issuer will treat the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Notes as described in the "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" section of the Offering Circular for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes and will take no action inconsistent with such treatment unless required by law.

(a) The Issuer and Co-Issuer shall prepare and file, and the Issuer shall cause each Issuer Subsidiary to prepare and file, or in each case shall hire accountants and the accountants shall cause to be prepared and filed (and, where applicable, delivered to the Issuer or Holders) for each taxable year of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Issuer Subsidiary the federal, state and local income tax returns and reports as required under the Code, or any tax returns or information tax returns required by any governmental authority which the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Issuer Subsidiary are required to file (and, where applicable, deliver); provided, that the Issuer shall not file, or cause to be filed, any income or franchise tax return in the United States or any state thereof on the basis that it is engaged in a trade or business within the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless it shall have obtained written advice from Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP or Ashurst LLP, or an opinion of other tax counsel of nationally recognized standing in the United States experienced in such matters, prior to such filing that, under the laws of such jurisdiction, the Issuer or Co-Issuer (as applicable) should file such income or franchise tax return. The Issuer shall provide to each Holder of Subordinated Notes (and any other Class of Notes required to be treated as equity in the Issuer) any information that such holder reasonably requests in order for such holder to (i) make and maintain a "qualified electing fund" ("QEF") election (as defined in the Code) with respect to the Issuer and any Issuer Subsidiary, or (ii) comply with filing requirements that arise as a result of the Issuer being classified as a "controlled foreign corporation" for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

-145-

(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Issuer (or an agent acting on its behalf) shall take, and shall cause any Issuer Subsidiary to take, any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Issuer or such Issuer Subsidiary satisfies any and all withholding and tax payment obligations under Code Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, 1471, 1472, or any other provision of the Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each of the Issuer and any Issuer Subsidiary may withhold any amount that it or any advisor retained by the Issuer or the Trustee on its behalf determines is required to be withheld from any amounts otherwise distributable to any Person, and (ii) if reasonably able to do so, the Issuer and any Issuer Subsidiary shall deliver or cause to be delivered an United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E or successor applicable form and other properly completed and executed documentation, as it determines is necessary to permit the Issuer or such Issuer Subsidiary to receive payments without withholding or deduction or at a reduced rate of withholding or deduction. In addition, the Issuer shall use reasonable best efforts to qualify as, and comply with any obligations or requirements imposed on, a "participating FFI" or a "deemed-compliant FFI" within the meaning of U.S. Treasury regulations. In furtherance of the preceding sentence the Issuer shall use reasonable best efforts to comply with the provisions of the intergovernmental agreement entered into by the Cayman Islands government and the United States in respect of FATCA (including the provisions of Cayman Island legislation enacted, or other official guidance issued, in connection therewith). In the event that the Issuer is unable to comply with such intergovernmental agreement (or such compliance will not preclude FATCA withholding on payments to it), it will use reasonable best efforts to enter into an agreement with the IRS described in Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code. In addition, the Issuer shall use reasonable best efforts to make any amendments to this Indenture reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to comply with FATCA and to cause the Noteholders to provide information requested in connection with FATCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer shall obtain a Global Intermediary Identification Number from the IRS on or prior to the Closing Date, and shall comply with any requirements necessary to establish and maintain its status as a "Reporting Model 1 FFI" within the meaning of U.S. Treasury regulations. Upon written request, the Trustee and the Registrar shall provide to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or any agent thereof any information specified by such parties regarding the Holders of the Notes and payments on the Notes that is in the possession of and reasonably available to the Trustee or the Registrar, as the case may be, and may reasonably be necessary for the Issuer to comply with FATCA, subject in all cases to confidentiality provisions.

-146-

(c) Upon the Trustee's receipt of a request of a Holder, delivered in accordance with the notice procedures of Section 14.3, for the information described in United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-3(b)(1)(i) that is applicable to such Holder, the Issuer shall cause its Independent accountants to provide promptly to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall promptly deliver to such requesting Holder, all of such information. Any issuance of the Additional Notes or Replacement Notes shall be accomplished in a manner that shall allow the Independent accountants of the Issuer to accurately calculate original issue discount income to Holders of the Additional Notes or Replacement Notes.

(d) Upon discovery that an asset violates the Tax Guidelines, or prior to the time that:

(i) the Issuer would acquire or receive (A) a Letter of Credit or (B) any asset in connection with a workout or restructuring of a Collateral Obligation that could cause the Issuer to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes or subject to U.S. federal tax on a net income basis, or

(ii) any Collateral Obligation is modified in such a manner that could cause the Issuer to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes or subject to U.S. federal tax on a net income basis,

the Issuer will either (x) organize one or more wholly-owned special purpose vehicles of the Issuer that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (each, an "Issuer Subsidiary") and contribute to an Issuer Subsidiary the right to receive such Letter of Credit or asset or the Collateral Obligation that is the subject of the workout, restructuring, modification, or asset that violates the Tax Guidelines, (y) contribute to an existing Issuer Subsidiary the right to receive such Letter of Credit or asset or the Collateral Obligation that is the subject of the workout, restructuring, modification, or asset that violates the Tax Guidelines, or (z) sell the right to receive such Letter of Credit or asset or the Collateral Obligation that is the subject of the workout, restructuring, modification, or asset that violates the Tax Guidelines in each case unless the Issuer receives an opinion from Ashurst LLP or Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, or an opinion of other nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters, to the effect that the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of such Letter of Credit or asset, or that the workout, restructuring, or modification of such Collateral Obligation or retaining the asset that violates the Tax Guidelines (as the case may be), will not cause the Issuer to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States or otherwise subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 7.16(e), the Issuer shall not acquire any asset (including an asset that may otherwise qualify as a Collateral Obligation) if a restructuring, or workout of such asset proposed to be acquired is in process and if such restructuring or workout could reasonably result in the Issuer being treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States or subject to U.S. federal tax on a net income basis (because the Issuer would receive another asset in connection with the restructuring or workout that would cause the Issuer to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States or otherwise subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis).

-147-

(f) Each Issuer Subsidiary must at all times have at least one independent director meeting the requirements of an "Independent Director" as set forth in the Issuer Subsidiary's organizational documents complying with any applicable Rating Agency rating criteria. The Issuer shall cause the purposes and permitted activities of any Issuer Subsidiary to be restricted solely to the acquisition, receipt, holding, management and disposition of Collateral Obligations referred to in Section 7.16(e)(x) and Section 7.16(e)(y) and any assets, income and proceeds received in respect thereof (collectively, "Issuer Subsidiary Assets"), and shall require each Issuer Subsidiary to distribute 100% of the net proceeds of any sale of such Issuer Subsidiary Assets, net of any tax or other liabilities, to the Issuer. No supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 hereof shall be necessary to permit the Issuer, or the Collateral Manager on its behalf, to take any actions necessary to set up an Issuer Subsidiary. The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall provide to the Rating Agencies prior notice of the formation of any Issuer Subsidiary and of the transfer of any asset to any Issuer Subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, any Issuer Subsidiary may distribute an Issuer Subsidiary Asset to the Issuer if such distribution does not otherwise violate this Indenture and the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of such asset by the Issuer will not cause the Issuer to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise cause the Issuer to be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis.

(g) Each Issuer Subsidiary that holds a Letter of Credit and that has not received an opinion or advice from Ashurst LLP or Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP or an opinion of other nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that the Issuer Subsidiary should not or will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis with respect to any fees it receives in respect of such Letter of Credit and any gain it recognizes on the disposition of such Letter of Credit shall deposit an amount equal to the highest marginal tax rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (or any successor provisions) multiplied by all of such fees and gain, less any amounts withheld in respect of taxes on such fees or from the purchase price (as the case may be), into a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account established with the Custodian and held in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties (the "Letter of Credit Reserve Account"). If an Issuer Subsidiary receives the advice or opinion described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer Subsidiary shall instead deposit an amount equal to 30% of all such fees (and shall not deposit any amount in respect of such gain) into the Letter of Credit Reserve Account, less any amounts withheld in respect of taxes on such fees, unless the Issuer Subsidiary receives an opinion or advice from Ashurst LLP or Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP or an opinion of other nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such fees should not or will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, in which case the Issuer Subsidiary shall not be required to deposit any amounts into the Letter of Credit Reserve Account. The Issuer Subsidiary may withdraw funds from the Letter of Credit Reserve Account to pay (or to provide for the payments of) the related taxes when due. The Issuer Subsidiary may also withdraw funds from the Letter of Credit Reserve Account and distribute such funds to the Issuer for application as Principal Proceeds or Interest Proceeds (as applicable) on the immediately following Payment Date (x) if and to the extent that, based on an opinion or advice of Ashurst LLP or Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP or an opinion of other nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters, the Issuer Subsidiary should not or will not be subject to U.S. tax with respect to the fees or gain from which such funds were reserved, (y) if and to the extent that, based on an opinion or advice of Ashurst LLP or Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP or an opinion of other nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters, the Issuer Subsidiary, more likely than not, will not be subject to withholding tax with respect to the fees from which such funds were reserved at Stated Maturity or (z) on a Redemption Date in connection with an optional redemption of Notes (other than pursuant to a Refinancing), a Clean-Up Call Redemption, or a Redemption by reason of a Tax Event. The Issuer Subsidiary shall provide to Fitch and Xxxxx'x a copy of any opinion obtained pursuant to clause (x) of the immediately preceding sentence.

(ii) the Issuer shall ensure that such Issuer Subsidiary shall not sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or pledge, mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise encumber (or permit such to occur or suffer such to exist), any part of such Issuer Subsidiary Assets, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture and the Collateral Management Agreement;

(v) the Issuer shall ensure that such Issuer Subsidiary shall not conduct business under any name other than its own;

(vii) the Issuer shall ensure that such Issuer Subsidiary shall file all tax returns and reports required to be filed by it and to pay all taxes required to be paid by it;

-149-

(viii) the Issuer shall notify the Trustee of the filing or commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by or before any arbiter or governmental authority against or affecting such Issuer Subsidiary;

In addition, the Issuer and such Issuer Subsidiary shall not take any action, or conduct its affairs in a manner, that is likely to result in the separate existence of such Issuer Subsidiary being ignored or in its assets and liabilities being substantively consolidated with any other Person in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall be permitted to dissolve any Issuer Subsidiary at any time;

(xii) the parties hereto agree that any reports prepared by the Trustee, the Collateral Manager or the Collateral Administrator with respect to the Collateral Obligations shall indicate that any Issuer Subsidiary Assets are held by an Issuer Subsidiary, and shall refer directly and solely to such Issuer Subsidiary Assets, and the Trustee shall not be obligated to refer to the equity interest in such Issuer Subsidiary;

(xiii) the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager and the Trustee shall not cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer Subsidiary for the nonpayment of any amounts due hereunder until at least one year and one day, or any longer applicable preference period then in effect plus one day, after the payment in full of all the Notes issued under this Indenture;

(xiv) in connection with the organization of such Issuer Subsidiary and the contribution of any Issuer Subsidiary Assets to such Issuer Subsidiary pursuant to Section 7.16(e), the Issuer Subsidiary shall establish one or more custodial and/or collateral accounts, as necessary, with the Bank or the Custodian to hold the Issuer Subsidiary Assets pursuant to an account control agreement; provided that (A) an Issuer Subsidiary Asset shall not be required to be held in such a custodial or collateral account if doing so would be in violation of another agreement related to such Issuer Subsidiary Asset or any other asset and (B) the Issuer may pledge an Issuer Subsidiary Asset to a Person other than the Trustee if required pursuant to a related reorganization or bankruptcy Proceeding;

-150-

(xv) subject to the other provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall cause the Issuer Subsidiary to distribute, or cause to be distributed, Issuer Subsidiary Assets to the Issuer, in such amounts and at such times as shall be determined by the Collateral Manager (any Cash proceeds distributed to the Issuer shall be deposited into the Principal Collection Subaccount or the Interest Collection Subaccount, as applicable); provided that the Issuer shall not cause any amounts to be so distributed unless all amounts in respect of any related tax liabilities and expenses have been paid in full or have been properly reserved for in accordance with GAAP;

(xvi) notwithstanding the complete and absolute transfer of an Issuer Subsidiary Asset to an Issuer Subsidiary, for purposes of measuring compliance with the Concentration Limitations, Portfolio Quality Test, and Coverage Tests, the ownership interests of the Issuer in such Issuer Subsidiary or any property distributed to the Issuer by the Issuer Subsidiary (other than Cash) shall be treated as ownership of the Issuer Subsidiary Asset(s) owned by such Issuer Subsidiary (and shall be treated as having the same characteristics as such Issuer Subsidiary Asset(s)). If, prior to its transfer to the Issuer Subsidiary, an Issuer Subsidiary Asset was a Defaulted Obligation, the ownership interests of the Issuer in the Issuer Subsidiary shall be treated as a Defaulted Obligation until such Issuer Subsidiary Asset would have ceased to be a Defaulted Obligation if owned directly by the Issuer;

(xvii) any distribution of Cash by such Issuer Subsidiary to the Issuer shall be characterized as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds to the same extent that such Cash would have been characterized as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds if received directly by the Issuer;

(xviii) if (A) any Event of Default occurs, the Notes have been declared due and payable (and such declaration shall not have been rescinded and annulled in accordance with this Indenture), and the Trustee or any other authorized party takes any action under this Indenture to sell, liquidate or dispose of the Collateral, (B) notice is given of any mandatory redemption, Redemption by Liquidation, a Tax Redemption, Clean-Up Call Redemption or other prepayment in full or repayment in full of all Notes Outstanding and such notice is not capable of being rescinded, (C) the Stated Maturity has occurred, or (D) irrevocable notice is given of any other final liquidation and final distribution of the Collateral, however described, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer's behalf shall (x) instruct such Issuer Subsidiary to sell each Issuer Subsidiary Asset held by such Issuer Subsidiary and distribute the proceeds of such sale, net of any amounts necessary to satisfy any related expenses and tax liabilities, to the Issuer in exchange for the equity security of or other interest in such Issuer Subsidiary held by the Issuer or (y) sell its interest in such Issuer Subsidiary; and

(xix) (A) the Issuer shall not dispose of an interest in such Issuer Subsidiary if such interest is a "United States real property interest," as defined in Section 897(c) of the Code, and (B) such Issuer Subsidiary shall not make any distribution to the Issuer if such distribution would cause the Issuer to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States for federal income tax purposes or cause the Issuer to be subject to U.S. federal tax on a net income basis.

(j) No more than 40% of the debt obligations (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) held by the Issuer shall at any time consist of real estate mortgages as determined for purposes of Section 7701(i) of the Code unless, upon an opinion of Ashurst LLP or Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, or an opinion of other nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters, the ownership of such debt obligations will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a taxable mortgage pool for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(k) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Manager, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Holders and beneficial owners of the Notes and each listed employee, representative or other agent of those Persons, may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. federal, state, or local tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture and all materials of any kind, including opinions or other tax analyses, that are provided to those Persons. This authorization to disclose the U.S. tax treatment and tax structure does not permit disclosure of information identifying the Collateral Manager, the Co-Issuers, the Trustee or any other party to the transactions contemplated by this Indenture, the Offering, or the pricing (except to the extent such information is relevant to the U.S. federal, state, or local tax structure or tax treatment of such transactions).

(l) If the Issuer has purchased an interest and the Issuer is aware that such interest is a "reportable transaction" within the meaning of section 6011 of the Code, and the Holder of a Subordinated Note (or any other Note that is required to be treated as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) requests in writing information about any such transactions in which the Issuer is an investor, the Issuer shall provide, or cause its Independent accountants to provide, such information it has reasonably available that is required to be obtained by such Holder under the Code as soon as practicable after such request.

(a) During the Ramp-Up Period, the Issuer shall use the following funds to purchase additional Collateral Obligations in the following order: (i) to pay for the principal portion of any Collateral Obligation from, first, any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account, and second, any Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account and then (ii) to pay for accrued interest on any such Collateral Obligation from, first, any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account, and second, any Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to acquire such Collateral Obligations that shall satisfy, as of the end of the Ramp-Up Period, the Concentration Limitations, Portfolio Quality Test and the Par Value Ratio Tests.

-152-

(a) Unless clause (e) below is applicable, within 30 Business Days after the end of the Ramp-Up Period (but in no event later than the Determination Date relating to the second Payment Date), the Issuer shall provide, or (at the Issuer's expense) cause the Collateral Manager to provide the following documents: (i) to the Rating Agencies, a report which the Issuer shall cause the Collateral Administrator to prepare on its behalf in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, the Collateral Administration Agreement, identifying the Collateral Obligations and, with respect to each Collateral Obligation, specifying (1) its LoanX Xxxx-It Partners identifier (if any), LIBOR floor (if any) and classification as a Senior Secured Loan (or a Participation Interest therein), Second Lien Loan or Unsecured Loan, (2) its Principal Balance, (3) an indication of whether the purchase of such Collateral Obligation has settled and, if the purchase of such Collateral Obligation has not settled and the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Collateral Obligations the purchase of which has not settled exceeds 10% of the Aggregate Ramp-Up Par Condition, the Market Value of such Collateral Obligation (as determined by the Collateral Manager), and (4) the balance of each Account; (ii) to the Trustee, the Collateral Manager and the Rating Agencies, (x) a report (which the Issuer shall cause the Collateral Administrator to prepare on its behalf in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, the Collateral Administration Agreement) stating the following information (the "Ramp-Up Period Report"): (1) the Obligor, Principal Balance, coupon/spread, stated maturity, Moody's Default Probability Rating, Moody's Industry Classification and country of Domicile with respect to each Collateral Obligation as of the end of the Ramp-Up Period and substantially similar information provided by the Issuer with respect to every other asset included in the Assets, by reference to such sources as shall be specified therein, and (2) calculating, as of the end of the Ramp-Up Period, the level of compliance with, and satisfaction or non-satisfaction of, (A) the Aggregate Ramp-Up Par Condition, (B) each Par Value Ratio Test, (C) the Concentration Limitations and (D) the Portfolio Quality Test; and (y) a certificate of the Issuer (such certificate, the "Ramp-Up Period Issuer Certificate") certifying that the Issuer has received an Accountants' Report that recalculates and compares the information set forth in the Ramp-Up Period Report (such Accountants' Report, the "Ramp-Up Period Accountants' Report"); and (iii) to the Trustee, the Ramp-Up Period Accountants' Report. Upon receipt of the Ramp-Up Period Report, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager shall each compare the information contained in such Ramp-Up Period Report to the information contained in their respective records with respect to the Assets and shall, within three Business Days after receipt of such Ramp-Up Period Report, notify such other party and the Issuer, the Collateral Administrator and the Rating Agencies if the information contained in the Ramp-Up Period Report does not conform to the information maintained by the Trustee or the Collateral Manager, as the case may be, with respect to the Assets. In the event that any discrepancy exists, the Trustee and the Issuer, or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer, shall attempt to resolve the discrepancy. If such discrepancy cannot be resolved within five Business Days after the delivery of such a notice of discrepancy, the Collateral Manager shall request that the Independent accountants selected by the Issuer pursuant to Section 10.8 perform agreed-upon procedures on the Ramp-Up Period Report and the Collateral Manager's and Trustee's records to determine the cause of such discrepancy. If such procedures reveal an error in the Ramp-Up Period Report or the Collateral Manager's or Trustee's records, the Ramp-Up Period Report or the Collateral Manager's or Trustee's records shall be revised accordingly and notice of any error in the Ramp-Up Period Report shall be sent as soon as practicable by the Issuer to all recipients of such report. For the avoidance of doubt, the Ramp-Up Period Report shall not include or refer to the Ramp-Up Period Accountants' Report, except that in accordance with SEC Release No. 34-72936, Form 15-E, only in its complete and unedited form, will be provided by the independent accountants to the Issuer who will post such Form 15-E, except for the redaction of any sensitive information, on the Rule 17g-5 website maintained in connection with the transaction.

(b) If neither the Xxxxx'x Ramp-Up Condition nor the Xxxxx'x Rating Condition is satisfied prior to the date 30 Business Days after the end of the Ramp-Up Period (but in no event later than the Determination Date relating to the second Payment Date) (such occurrence constituting a "Moody's Ramp-Up Failure"), then (A) the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer's behalf) shall either (i) notify Moody's that the Moody's Ramp-Up Condition has been satisfied within 30 Business Days after the end of the Ramp-Up Period (but in no event later than the Determination Date relating to the second Payment Date) or (ii) satisfy the Xxxxx'x Rating Condition within 30 Business Days after the end of the Ramp-Up Period (but in no event later than the Determination Date relating to the second Payment Date) and (B) if, by the Determination Date relating to the second Payment Date, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer's behalf) has not confirmed to Moody's that the Moody's Ramp-Up Condition has been satisfied or satisfied the Xxxxx'x Rating Condition, each as described in the preceding clause (A) of this paragraph, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer's behalf) shall instruct the Trustee to transfer amounts from the Interest Collection Subaccount to the Principal Collection Subaccount and may, prior to the second Payment Date, purchase additional Collateral Obligations in an amount sufficient to enable the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer's behalf) to (i) confirm to Moody's that the Moody's Ramp-Up Condition has been satisfied or (ii) satisfy the Xxxxx'x Rating Condition; provided that, in lieu of complying with the preceding clauses (A) and (B), the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer's behalf) may take such action, including but not limited to, a Special Redemption and/or transferring amounts from the Interest Collection Subaccount to the Principal Collection Subaccount as Principal Proceeds (for use in a Special Redemption), sufficient to enable the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer's behalf) to (1) confirm to Moody's that the Moody's Ramp-Up Condition has been satisfied or (2) satisfy the Xxxxx'x Rating Condition; provided, further, that, amounts may not be transferred from the Interest Collection Subaccount to the Principal Collection Subaccount if, after giving effect to such transfer, (I) the amounts available pursuant to the Priority of Payments on the next succeeding Payment Date would be insufficient to pay in full the amount of the accrued and unpaid interest on any Class of Secured Notes on such next succeeding Payment Date, or (II) such transfer would result in a deferral of interest with respect to the Class C Notes, Class D Notes or Class E Notes on the next succeeding Payment Date. The Trustee shall provide notice to Fitch of a Moody's Ramp-Up Failure. For the avoidance of doubt, any confirmation by the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) to Moody's that the Moody's Ramp-Up Condition has been satisfied as provided in this Section 7.17(c) will be by way of delivery by the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) to Moody's of the relevant Ramp-Up Period Report and Ramp-Up Issuer Certificate as contemplated in the definition of "Moody's Ramp-Up Condition".

(c) The failure of the Issuer to satisfy the requirements of this Section 7.17 will not constitute an Event of Default unless such failure constitutes an Event of Default under Section 5.1(d) hereof and the Issuer, or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer, has acted in bad faith.

-154-

(d) Asset Quality Matrix. On or prior to the last day of the Ramp-Up Period, the Collateral Manager shall determine which "row/column combination" of the Asset Quality Matrix shall apply on and after the last day of the Ramp-Up Period to the Collateral Obligations for purposes of determining compliance with the Moody's Diversity Test, the Maximum Xxxxx'x Rating Factor Test and the Minimum Floating Spread Test, and if such "row/column combination" differs from the "row/column combination" chosen to apply as of the Closing Date, the Collateral Manager shall so notify the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator and each Rating Agency. Thereafter, at any time on written notice of two Business Day to the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator and each Rating Agency (via email to Moody's at xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx and via email to Fitch at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx), the Collateral Manager may elect a different "row/column combination" of the Asset Quality Matrix to apply to the Collateral Obligations; provided that: (i) if the election is in relation to a proposed purchase of a Collateral Obligation and each Portfolio Quality Test will be satisfied following such purchase, then such election shall be deemed to go into effect simultaneously with such proposed purchase after giving effect to such purchase, and (ii) in all other cases, such election shall only be permitted if the Collateral Obligations are in compliance with the Asset Quality Matrix case to which the Collateral Manager desires to change. If the Collateral Manager does not notify the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator that it will alter the "row/column combination" of the Asset Quality Matrix chosen on the last day of the Ramp-Up Period in the manner set forth above, the "row/column combination" of the Asset Quality Matrix chosen on the last day of the Ramp-Up Period shall continue to apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Manager may elect at any time after the last day of the Ramp-Up Period, in lieu of selecting a "row/column combination" of the Asset Quality Matrix (but otherwise in compliance with the requirements of the fourth sentence of this Section 7.17(e)) to interpolate between two adjacent rows and/or two adjacent columns, as applicable, on a straight-line basis and round the results to two decimal points.

The Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith and in reliance upon the above described Officer's certificate or an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee as described in Section 8.4 hereof.

A supplemental indenture entered into for any purpose other than the purposes provided for in this Section 8.1 shall require the consent of the Holders of Notes as required in Section 8.2.

(i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of or the due date of any installment of interest on any Secured Note or Senior Subordinated Note Amount on any Senior Subordinated Note, reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or the Redemption Price with respect to any Note, or change the earliest date on which Notes of any Class may be redeemed, change the provisions of this Indenture relating to the application of proceeds of any Assets to the payment of principal of or interest on Secured Notes or distributions on the Subordinated Notes (other than, following a redemption in full of the Secured Notes, an amendment to permit distributions to the Holders of Subordinated Notes on dates other than a Payment Date) or change any place where, or the coin or currency in which, Subordinated Notes or Secured Notes or the principal thereof or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date);

-163-

(ii) change the percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of Holders of Notes of each Class whose consent is required under this Indenture, including for the authorization of any such supplemental indenture, exercise of remedies under this Indenture or for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder or their consequences;

(iii) materially impair or materially adversely affect the Assets except as otherwise permitted in this Indenture;

(v) modify any of the provisions of this Section 8.2, except to increase the percentage of Outstanding Secured Notes or Subordinated Notes the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such action or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Secured Note or Subordinated Note Outstanding and affected thereby;

(vi) modify the definitions of the terms "Outstanding," "Class," "Controlling Class," "Majority" or "Supermajority";

(vii) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such a manner as to directly affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest or principal on any Secured Note, or any amount available for distribution to the Subordinated Notes or to affect the rights of the Holders of Secured Notes to the benefit of any provisions for the redemption of such Secured Notes contained herein;

(viii) amend any of the provisions of this Indenture relating to the institution of proceedings for certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or reorganization of the Co-Issuers; or

(ix) modify the restrictions on and procedures for resales and other transfers of Notes (except as set forth in Section 8.1(vi) and (xii)).

-164-

(b) Not later than twenty-five (25) Business Days prior to the execution of any proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.2(a), the Trustee, at the expense of the Co-Issuers, shall mail to the Noteholders, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator, any Hedge Counterparty and each Rating Agency (so long as any Secured Notes are Outstanding and are rated by such Rating Agency) a copy of such proposed supplemental indenture and shall request any required consent from the applicable Holders of Notes to be given within twenty (20) Business Days. Any consent given to a proposed supplemental indenture by the Holder of any Notes will be irrevocable and binding on all future holders or beneficial owners of that Note, irrespective of the execution date of the supplemental indenture. At any time after the delivery of notice of any proposed supplemental indenture by the Trustee to the Holders of Notes as described herein, the Trustee shall, as promptly as commercially practicable upon the Collateral Manager's written request, inform the Collateral Manager (and, if so requested by the Collateral Manager, the Issuer) of any communications received by the Trustee from any Holder of Notes in connection with such supplemental indenture, including, without limitation, any consents or objections received in respect thereto and which Holders of Notes (and, to the extent such information is available to the Trustee, which beneficial owners (excluding any beneficial owner that has requested the Trustee to not reveal its identity)) have so consented or objected.

(c) It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section 8.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act or consent shall approve the substance thereof, so long as the Holders have received a copy of the language to be included in any proposed supplemental indenture and any changes to such language included in any proposed supplemental indenture sent to Holders is of a purely minor nature or to fix typographic mistakes.

(d) The Issuer shall not enter into any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8.2 if any Hedge Counterparty (in its reasonable judgment) would be materially and adversely affected by such supplemental indenture and notifies the Issuer and the Trustee thereof without the prior written consent of such Hedge Counterparty.

(e) Promptly after the execution by the Co-Issuers and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8.2, the Trustee, at the expense of the Co-Issuers, shall deliver to the Holders, the Collateral Manager, each Rating Agency (so long as any Secured Notes are Outstanding and are rated by such Rating Agency) and, for so long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, the Irish Stock Exchange by delivery to the Irish Listing Agent, a copy thereof. Any failure of the Trustee to deliver a copy of any supplemental indenture as provided herein, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

(f) The Trustee may conclusively rely on an Opinion of Counsel (which may be supported as to factual (including financial and capital markets) matters by any relevant certificates and other documents necessary or advisable in the judgment of counsel delivering the opinion) or an Officer's certificate of the Collateral Manager as to whether the interests of any Holder of Notes would be materially and adversely affected by the modifications set forth in such supplemental indenture, it being expressly understood and agreed that the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any determination as to the satisfaction of the requirements related to any supplemental indenture which may form the basis of such Opinion of Counsel; provided that if the Trustee and the Issuer are notified (within 20 Business Days after notice by the Trustee to the Holders of a proposed supplemental indenture) by a Majority of the Controlling Class that such Holders believe the interests of the Holders in such Class of Notes will be materially and adversely affected by the proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions described above in this Section 8.2(f), the interests of such Class will be deemed to be materially and adversely affected by such proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions described herein. The determinations made pursuant to this clause shall be conclusive and binding on all present and future Holders. The Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith and in reliance upon the above described Officer's certificate or an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee as described in Section 8.4 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to satisfy the Global Rating Agency Condition (except in the case of Section 8.1(xx)(A) above), as applicable, shall not prevent the execution or effectiveness of any supplemental indenture.

Section 8.3 Supplemental Indentures with consent of the Section 13 Banking Entities.

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written consent of 100% of the Section 13 Banking Entities, no supplemental indenture may modify the definition of "Collateral Obligations", the definition of "Eligible Investments", the definition of "Participation Interests", the definition of "Section 13 Banking Entities", the criteria required to enter into a hedge agreement, or the criteria required for additional issuance of Notes. Moreover, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager and the Co-Issuers may execute one or more indentures supplemental to the Indenture to make any modification or amendment determined by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager (in consultation with legal counsel of national reputation experienced in such matters) as necessary or advisable (A) for any Class of Secured Notes to not be considered an "ownership interest" as defined for purposes of the Xxxxxxx Rule or (B) for the Issuer to not otherwise be considered a "covered fund" as defined for purposes of the Xxxxxxx Rule, in each case so long as (1) any such modification or amendment would not have a material adverse effect on any Class of Notes, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel (which may be supported as to factual (including financial and capital markets) matters by any relevant certificates and other documents necessary or advisable in the judgment of the counsel delivering the opinion), and (2) such modification or amendment is approved in writing by a supermajority (66-2/3% based on the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by the Section 13 Banking Entities) of the Section 13 Banking Entities (voting as a single class).

Section 8.4 Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

(a) In executing or accepting the additional trusts created by any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article VIII or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1 and 6.3) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized and permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Neither the Collateral Manager nor the Collateral Administrator shall be bound to follow any amendment or supplement to this Indenture unless it has received written notice of such amendment or supplement and a copy of the amendment or supplement from the Issuer or the Trustee prior to the execution thereof in accordance with the notice requirements of Section 8.1 and Section 8.2. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, the Issuer agrees that it shall not permit to become effective any amendment or supplement to this Indenture which would alter or affect the rights or obligations of the Collateral Manager in any way, including (i) increasing the duties or liabilities of, reducing or eliminating any right or privilege of (including as a result of an effect on the amount or the priority of any fees or other amounts payable to the Collateral Manager or the Collateral Administrator), or adversely changing the economic consequences to, the Collateral Manager or the Collateral Administrator, (ii) directly or indirectly modifying the restrictions on the purchases or sales of Collateral Obligations under Article XII or the Investment Criteria, (iii) expanding or restricting the Collateral Manager's discretion or (iv) adversely affecting the Collateral Manager or the Collateral Administrator, unless the Collateral Manager or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, shall have consented in advance thereto in writing.

-166-

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no supplemental indenture, or other modification or amendment of this Indenture, may become effective without the consent of the Holders of all Notes of each Outstanding Class unless such supplemental indenture or other modification or amendment would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Issuer in consultation with legal counsel experienced in such matters, as certified by the Issuer to the Trustee upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely, (A) result in the Issuer becoming subject to U.S. federal income taxation with respect to its net income, (B) result in the Issuer being treated as being engaged in a trade or business within the United States, or (C) adversely affect the characterization of the Secured Notes as debt for United States federal income tax purposes.

Section 8.5 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article VIII, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore and thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

Section 8.6 Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article VIII may, and if required by the Issuer shall, bear a notice in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Applicable Issuers shall so determine, new Notes, so modified as to conform in the opinion of the Co-Issuers to any such supplemental indenture, may be prepared and executed by the Applicable Issuers and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE IX

Section 9.1 Mandatory Redemption. If a Coverage Test is not met on any Determination Date on which such Coverage Test is applicable, the Issuer shall apply available amounts in the Payment Account on the related Payment Date to make payments as required pursuant to the Priority of Payments to achieve compliance with such Coverage Test.

-167-

Section 9.2 Optional Redemption. (a) The Secured Notes shall be redeemed by the Co-Issuers or the Issuer, as the case may be (i) in whole but not in part, on any Business Day after the Non-Call Period pursuant to a Redemption by Liquidation or a Redemption by Refinancing, and (ii) in part by Class, on any Business Day after the Non-Call Period pursuant to a Partial Redemption by Refinancing (each such redemption in subclauses (i) and (ii), an "Optional Redemption") at the written direction of a Majority of the Junior Subordinated Notes delivered to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager not later than 30 days (or such shorter time as the Trustee and the Collateral Manager find reasonably acceptable) prior to the proposed Redemption Date. A Majority of the Junior Subordinated Notes may direct that an Optional Redemption occur by directing the Collateral Manager to either (i) liquidate a sufficient amount of the Assets (a "Redemption by Liquidation") to fully redeem all Classes of Secured Notes, or (ii) negotiate and obtain on behalf of the Issuer (x) one or more loans or other financing arrangements to be made to the Issuer, and/or (y) the issuance of replacement notes ("Replacement Notes") by the Issuer (each, a "Refinancing"), the proceeds of which shall be used to fully redeem all Classes of Secured Notes (a "Redemption by Refinancing"). The Issuer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, the funds required for an Optional Redemption on or prior to the Redemption Date.

(a) Upon receipt of a direction of a Redemption by Liquidation, the Collateral Manager shall, in its sole discretion, direct the sale (and the manner thereof) of all or part of the Assets in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.2(c). The Liquidation Proceeds and all other funds available for such redemption in the Collection Account and the Payment Account shall be at least sufficient to pay the Redemption Price on all of the Secured Notes and to pay all Administrative Expenses (regardless of the Administrative Expense Cap) and other fees and expenses payable under the Priority of Payments (including, without limitation, any Management Fees and any amounts due to the Hedge Counterparties); provided that any Holder of a Secured Note may in its sole discretion elect, by written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Collateral Manager, to receive in full payment for the redemption of its Secured Note an amount less than the Redemption Price of such Secured Note in connection with a Redemption by Liquidation of all Classes of Secured Notes and the Collateral Manager may, in its sole discretion, elect, by written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Paying Agent, to waive all or any portion of the Management Fees and any Management Fee Interest then owing to the Collateral Manager. If such Liquidation Proceeds and all other funds available for such purpose in the Collection Account and the Payment Account would not be sufficient to redeem all of the Secured Notes at the applicable Redemption Price and to pay such Administrative Expenses and other fees and expenses, the Secured Notes may not be redeemed. The Collateral Manager, in its discretion, may effect the sale of all or any part of the Collateral Obligations or other Assets through the sale of one or more participations in such Assets or other arrangement.

-168-

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Secured Notes shall not be redeemed pursuant to a Redemption by Liquidation unless (i) at least five (5) Business Days before the scheduled Redemption Date the Collateral Manager shall have certified to the Trustee that the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer has entered into a binding agreement or agreements with a financial or other institution or institutions whose short term unsecured debt obligations (other than such obligations whose rating is based on the credit of a person other than such institution) are rated, or guaranteed by a Person whose short-term unsecured debt obligations are rated, at least "P-1" by Moody's to purchase (which purchase may be through a participation), not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Redemption Date in immediately available funds, all or part of the Collateral Obligations and/or any Hedge Agreements at a purchase price at least equal to an amount sufficient, together with the Eligible Investments maturing, redeemable (or putable to the issuer thereof at par) on or prior to the scheduled Redemption Date, any payments to be received in respect of any Hedge Agreements, to pay all Administrative Expenses and other fees and expenses payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments (regardless of the Administrative Expense Cap) prior to the payment of the principal of the Notes to be redeemed and redeem all of the Secured Notes on the scheduled Redemption Date at the applicable Redemption Price, or (ii) prior to selling any Collateral Obligations and/or Eligible Investments, the Collateral Manager has certified to the Trustee that, in its judgment, the aggregate sum of (A) any expected proceeds from Hedge Agreements and the sale of Eligible Investments, (B) any Refinancing Proceeds and (C) for each Collateral Obligation, the product of its Principal Balance and its Market Value, shall exceed the sum of (x) the aggregate Redemption Prices of the Outstanding Secured Notes and (y) all Administrative Expenses and other fees and expenses payable under the Priority of Payments (including, without limitation, the Management Fees, Management Fee Interest and any amounts due to Hedge Counterparties) (without limitation thereof by the Administrative Expense Cap) prior to the redemption of the Notes. Any certification delivered by the Collateral Manager pursuant to this Section 9.2(c) shall include (1) the prices of, and expected proceeds from, the sale (directly or by participation or other arrangement) of any Collateral Obligations, Eligible Investments and/or Hedge Agreements and (2) all calculations required by this Section 9.2(c).

(c) Upon receipt of a direction of a Redemption by Refinancing, the Collateral Manager may obtain a Refinancing on behalf of the Issuer only if (i) the Refinancing Proceeds and all other available funds in the Accounts shall be at least sufficient to redeem simultaneously each Class of Secured Notes, in whole but not in part, and to pay the other amounts included in the aggregate Redemption Price and all accrued and unpaid Administrative Expenses (regardless of the Administrative Expense Cap), including the reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with such Refinancing; provided that any Holder of a Secured Note may in its sole discretion elect, by written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Collateral Manager, to receive in full payment for the redemption of its Secured Note an amount less than the Redemption Price of such Secured Note in connection with a Refinancing of all Classes of Secured Notes and the Collateral Manager may, in its sole discretion, elect, by written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Paying Agent, to waive all or any portion of the Management Fees and any Management Fee Interest then owing to the Collateral Manager (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any person entitled to payment of expenses in connection with such Refinancing may elect, in its sole discretion, to defer payment of such amounts to one or more future Payments Dates; provided further that, any such deferred payments shall be paid in accordance with the Priorities of Payment), (ii) the Refinancing Proceeds and other available funds are used to the extent necessary to make such redemption, and (iii) the agreements relating to such Refinancing contain limited recourse and non-petition provisions equivalent (mutatis mutandis) to those contained in Section 5.4(d).

-169-

(d) The Subordinated Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, on any Business Day on or after the redemption or repayment of all of the Secured Notes in full and payment in full of all amounts then due and owing of the Co-Issuers, at the direction of either of (x) a Majority of the Junior Subordinated Notes or (y) the Collateral Manager, so long as JMP Credit Advisors LLC or any Affiliate thereof is the Collateral Manager.

The Holders of the Junior Subordinated Notes shall not have any cause of action against any of the Co-Issuers, the Collateral Manager or the Trustee for any failure to obtain a Refinancing. In the event that a Refinancing is obtained meeting the requirements specified above as certified by the Collateral Manager, the Co-Issuers and the Trustee (as directed by the Issuer) shall amend this Indenture pursuant to Article VIII to the extent necessary to reflect the terms of the Refinancing and no further consent for such amendments shall be required from the Holders of Notes, other than the Majority of the Junior Subordinated Notes directing the redemption.

Section 9.3 Partial Redemption by Refinancing. (a) Upon written direction of a Majority of the Junior Subordinated Notes delivered to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager not later than 30 days (or such shorter period of time as the Trustee and the Collateral Manager find reasonably acceptable) prior to the proposed Redemption Date, the Issuer shall redeem one or more Classes of Secured Notes following the end of the Non-Call Period, in whole but not in part with respect to each such Class to be redeemed, from Refinancing Proceeds (any such redemption, a "Partial Redemption by Refinancing"); provided that such Refinancing satisfies the conditions described below.

The Collateral Manager shall obtain a Refinancing in connection with a Partial Redemption by Refinancing on behalf of the Issuer only if (x) the Xxxxx'x Rating Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to any Secured Notes that are not subject to such Partial Redemption by Refinancing and (y) the Collateral Manager determines and certifies to the Trustee and the Issuer that: (i) notice is provided to Fitch so long as Fitch is rating any class of Secured Notes, (ii) the Refinancing Proceeds (together with Interest Proceeds available in accordance with the Priority of Payments to pay the accrued interest portion of the Redemption Price) shall be in an amount at least equal to the amount required to pay the Redemption Price of the Class(es) of Secured Notes to be redeemed, (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Replacement Notes issued by the Issuer under such Refinancing is equal to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Secured Notes to be redeemed with the proceeds of such Refinancing, (iv) the obligations providing such Refinancing shall have the same or longer Maturity as the Notes Outstanding prior to such Refinancing, (v) the Refinancing Proceeds (to the extent necessary) are used to make such redemption, (vi) the agreements relating to the Refinancing contain limited recourse and non-petition provisions equivalent (mutatis mutandis) to those contained in Section 2.8(i) and Section 5.4(d), (vii) the obligations providing such Refinancing are not senior in priority of payment, and do not have greater voting, consent and redemption rights than the corresponding Class of Notes that is being refinanced, (viii) the Replacement Notes shall have the same or lower interest rate as the Class(es) of Secured Notes to be redeemed, (ix) the expenses incurred in connection with the Partial Redemption by Refinancing shall have been paid or will be adequately provided for from the Refinancing Proceeds (except for expenses owed to persons that agree to be paid solely as Administrative Expenses in accordance with the Priority of Payments and provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any person entitled to payment of expenses in connection with such Refinancing may elect, in its sole discretion, to defer payment of such amounts to one or more future Payment Dates; provided further that, any such deferred payments shall be paid in accordance with the Priorities of Payment), (x) such new Secured Notes will be issued in a manner that will allow the Issuer to accurately provide the information described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-3(b)(1)(i) and in connection with a Refinancing of less than all Classes of Secured Notes, the Issuer shall have received an opinion of tax counsel of nationally recognized standing in the United States experienced in such matters to the effect that such new Secured Notes would have the same U.S. federal income tax characterization as debt as any Secured Notes outstanding immediately after such Refinancing that are pari passu with such new Secured Notes and (xi) the Collateral Manager has consented to such Partial Redemption by Refinancing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

-170-

(a) In the event of any redemption pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3, the Issuer shall, at least 30 days prior to the Redemption Date (or such shorter period of time as the Trustee and the Collateral Manager find reasonably acceptable), notify the Trustee and the Collateral Manager in writing of such Redemption Date, the applicable Record Date, the principal amount of Secured Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date and the applicable Redemption Prices.

Section 9.4 Tax Redemption. The Secured Notes shall be redeemed by the Co-Issuers or the Issuer, as the case may be, in whole but not in part, on any Payment Date (any such redemption, a "Tax Redemption") on or after the occurrence of a Tax Event at the written direction of (x) a Majority of the Senior Subordinated Notes or the Junior Subordinated Notes or (y) a Majority of any Affected Class delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Manager not later than 30 days (or such shorter period of time as the Trustee and the Collateral Manager find reasonably acceptable) prior to the proposed Redemption Date. Either (i) a Majority of the Senior Subordinated Notes or the Junior Subordinated Notes or (ii) a Majority of any Affected Class may direct the Collateral Manager to effect a Redemption by Liquidation to fully redeem all Classes of Secured Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.5. The funds available for such a redemption of the Notes shall include all Principal Proceeds, Interest Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, Sale Proceeds and all other available funds in the Collection Account and the Payment Account. Each Class of Notes shall be redeemed at the applicable Redemption Price for such Class in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 9.5 Redemption Procedures. (a) In the event of any redemption pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, the written direction of the Holders of the Junior Subordinated Notes required as set forth herein shall be provided to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager not later than 30 days (or such shorter period of time as the Trustee and the Collateral Manager find reasonably acceptable) prior to the applicable Redemption Date on which such redemption is to be made (which date shall be designated in such notice). In the event of any Tax Redemption pursuant to Section 9.4, the written direction of (x) a Majority of the Senior Subordinated Notes or the Junior Subordinated Notes or (y) a Majority of any Affected Class shall be provided to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager not later than 30 days (or such shorter period of time as the Trustee and the Collateral Manager find reasonably acceptable) prior to the applicable Redemption Date on which such redemption is to be made (which date shall be designated in such notice). In the event of any redemption pursuant to Section 9.2, Section 9.3 or Section 9.4, a notice of redemption shall be given by the Trustee by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not later than nine Business Days prior to the applicable Redemption Date, to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed, at such Holder's address in the Register and each Rating Agency then rating a Class of Secured Notes. In addition, for so long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and so long as the guidelines of such exchange so require, notice of any redemption pursuant to Section 9.2, Section 9.3 or Section 9.4 to the Holders of such Notes shall also be given by publication via the Irish Stock Exchange.

-171-

(a) All notices of redemption delivered pursuant to Section 9.5(a) shall state:

(i) the applicable Redemption Date;

(ii) the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed;

(iii) in the case of a Redemption by Liquidation or a Redemption by Refinancing, that all of the Secured Notes are to be redeemed in full and that interest on such Secured Notes shall cease to accrue on the Payment Date specified in the notice;

(iv) in the case of a Partial Redemption by Refinancing, the Classes of Secured Notes to be redeemed in full and that interest on such Secured Notes shall cease to accrue on the Payment Date specified in the notice;

(v) the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, which shall be the office or agency of the Co-Issuers to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2; and

(vi) in the case of an Optional Redemption, whether the Subordinated Notes are to be redeemed in full on such Redemption Date and, if so, the place or places where the Subordinated Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, which shall be the office or agency of the Co-Issuers to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2 for purposes of surrender.

The Applicable Issuers shall have the option to withdraw any such notice of redemption up to and including the later of (x) the day on which the Collateral Manager is required to deliver to the Trustee the sale agreement or agreements or certifications as described in Section 9.2(c), by written notice to the Trustee that the Collateral Manager will be unable to deliver the sale agreement or agreements or certifications described in Section 9.2(c), (y) the day on which the Holders of Notes are notified of such redemption in accordance with Section 9.5(a), by written notice to the Trustee and the Collateral Manager and (z) one Business Day prior to the applicable Redemption Date if the Collateral Manager determines, in its commercially reasonable business judgment, that the Co-Issuers will not have sufficient proceeds to redeem all of the Secured Notes on the applicable Redemption Date (provided that the Issuer will use reasonable efforts to notify the Trustee as soon as possible upon learning of such withdrawal and, in any case, prior to the Redemption Date). Any withdrawal of such notice of redemption pursuant to clause (x), (y) or (z) in the preceding sentence shall be made by written notice to the Trustee, the Collateral Manager and the Rating Agencies and shall be made by the Applicable Issuers only if the Collateral Manager has notified the Co-Issuers that either (i) it is unable to deliver the sale agreement or agreements or certifications described in Section 9.2(c) and Section 12.1(e) or (ii) it is unable to obtain the applicable Refinancing on behalf of the Issuer.

-172-

In addition, a Majority of the Junior Subordinated Notes, in the case of any Optional Redemption, or a Majority of the Senior Subordinated Notes or the Junior Subordinated Notes or a Majority of an Affected Class, as applicable in the case of a Tax Redemption, shall have the option to withdraw any such notice of redemption up to and including the sixth Business Day prior to the proposed Redemption Date; provided that neither the Issuer (nor the Collateral Manager) has entered into a binding agreement in connection with the sale of any portion of the Assets or taken any other action in connection with the liquidation of any portion of the Assets pursuant to such notice of redemption.

If the Co-Issuer or the Issuer, as the case may be, so withdraws any notice of redemption or is otherwise unable to complete any redemption of the Notes, the Sale Proceeds received from the sale of any Collateral Obligations and other Assets sold pursuant to Section 9.2 may, during the Reinvestment Period at the Collateral Manager's sole discretion, be reinvested in accordance with the Investment Criteria.

Notice of redemption shall be given by the Co-Issuer or the Issuer, as the case may be, (so long as the Co-Issuer or Issuer, as applicable, have received notice thereof) or, upon an Issuer Order, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Co-Issuer or the Issuer, as the case may be. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note selected for redemption shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Notes.

Any holder of Notes, the Collateral Manager or any of the Collateral Manager's Affiliates or accounts managed by it shall have the right, subject to the same terms and conditions afforded to other bidders, to bid on Assets to be sold as part of an Optional Redemption or a redemption pursuant to Section 9.4.

Section 9.6 Notes Payable on Redemption Date. (a) Notice of redemption pursuant to Section 9.5 having been given as aforesaid, the Notes to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, subject to Section 9.2(c) in the case of an Optional Redemption and the right to withdraw any notice of redemption pursuant to Section 9.5(b), become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) all such Secured Notes shall cease to bear interest on the Redemption Date. Upon final payment on a Note to be so redeemed, the Holder shall present and surrender such Note at the place specified in the notice of redemption on or prior to such Redemption Date; provided that if there is delivered to the Co-Issuers and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by any of them to save such party harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such Note, then, in the absence of notice to the Co-Issuers or the Trustee that the applicable Note has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. Payments of interest on Secured Notes and payments in respect of Subordinated Notes so to be redeemed whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to the terms and provisions of Section 2.8(e).

-173-

(a) If any Secured Note called for redemption shall not be paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal thereof shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the applicable Note Interest Rate for each successive Interest Accrual Period the Secured Note remains Outstanding; provided that the reason for such non-payment is not the fault of such Noteholder.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Refinancing Proceeds shall not constitute Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds but shall be applied directly on the related Redemption Date to redeem the Class(es) of Secured Notes subject to such Redemption by Refinancing without regard to the Priority of Payments; provided that to the extent such Refinancing Proceeds are not applied to redeem such Class(es) of Secured Notes or to pay expenses in connection with such Refinancing, such Refinancing Proceeds shall be treated as Principal Proceeds.

Section 9.7 Special Redemption. Principal payments on the Secured Notes shall be made in part in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date (A) during the Reinvestment Period, if the Collateral Manager at its sole discretion notifies the Trustee that it has been unable, for a period of at least 20 consecutive Business Days, to identify additional Collateral Obligations that are deemed appropriate by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion and would meet the Investment Criteria in sufficient amounts to permit the investment or reinvestment of all or a portion of the funds then in the Collection Account that are to be invested in additional Collateral Obligations (a "Reinvestment Period Special Redemption") or (B) after the Ramp-Up Period, if the Collateral Manager notifies the Trustee that a redemption is required pursuant to Section 7.17(c) (a "Ramp-Up Period Special Redemption" and together with a Reinvestment Period Special Redemption, each a "Special Redemption"). On the first Payment Date (and all subsequent Payment Dates) following the Collection Period in which such notice is given (a "Special Redemption Date"), (1) in the case of a Reinvestment Period Special Redemption, the amount in the Principal Collection Subaccount representing Principal Proceeds which the Collateral Manager has determined cannot be reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations or (2) in the case of a Ramp-Up Period Special Redemption, the amounts in the Interest Collection Subaccount and Principal Collection Subaccount, as applicable, representing Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds, as applicable, that the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer's behalf) has determined are required for a Special Redemption pursuant to Section 7.17(c) (each such amount, a "Special Redemption Amount") shall be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments under Section 11.1(a)(ii). Notice of payments pursuant to this Section 9.7 shall be given by the Trustee either by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case not less than three Business Days prior to the applicable Special Redemption Date (provided that such notice shall not be required in connection with a Special Redemption pursuant to clause (B) of the definition of such term if the Special Redemption Amount is not known on or prior to such date) to each Holder of Secured Notes affected thereby at such Holder's address in the Register and to the Rating Agencies or by facsimile or via email transmission to such parties. In addition, for so long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and so long as the guidelines of such exchange so require, notice of Special Redemption to the Holders of such Notes shall also be sent to the Irish Listing Agent for release via the Irish Stock Exchange.

-174-

Section 9.8 Clean-Up Call Redemption.

(a) Each Class of outstanding Secured Notes shall be redeemed by the Issuer, in whole but not in part (a "Clean-Up Call Redemption"), on the next Payment Date after the Non-Call Period that is at least 60 days following the date on which a Monthly Report is distributed reporting a Collateral Principal Amount that is less than 18.5% of the Aggregate Ramp-Up Par Amount (the "Report Date"); subject to the conditions described below, unless either the Collateral Manager has provided notice to the Issuer and the Trustee of its objection to such Clean-Up Call Redemption or a Majority of the Junior Subordinated Notes has provided notice to the Collateral Manager, the Issuer and the Trustee of its objection to such Clean-Up Call Redemption within 15 Business Days following the Report Date. The Trustee shall provide notice to the Collateral Manager and the Holders of Subordinated Notes when a Report Date occurs.

If either the Collateral Manager or a Majority of the Junior Subordinated Notes successfully objects to a Clean-Up Call Redemption (a "Clean-Up Call Rescission"), then either the Collateral Manager or a Majority of the Junior Subordinated Notes, upon notice to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager or the Junior Subordinated Notes (as applicable), may reinstate the Clean-Up Call Redemption such that it will occur on the next Payment Date that is at least 60 days following the date of reinstatement so long as the Collateral Principal Amount is less than 18.5% of the Aggregate Ramp-Up Par Amount; provided that if the Collateral Manager provides notice of reinstatement of the Clean-Up Call Redemption and a Majority of the Junior Subordinated Notes provides notice to the Collateral Manager, the Issuer and the Trustee of its objection to such Clean-Up Call Redemption within 15 Business Days of such notice of reinstatement, then the Clean-Up Call Redemption shall not be reinstated.

(b) In connection with any Clean-Up Call Redemption, as long as no Clean-Up Call Rescission is effected, the Issuer shall set the related date of redemption (the "Clean-Up Call Redemption Date") and the Record Date for any redemption pursuant to this Section and give written notice thereof to the Trustee (which shall forward such notice to the Holders), the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Manager and the Rating Agencies not later than fifteen 15 Business Days prior to the proposed date of redemption (and the Trustee in turn shall, in the name and at the expense of the Co-Issuers, notify the holders of Notes of the Clean-Up Call Redemption Date, the applicable Record Date, that the Secured Notes shall be redeemed in full, and the Redemption Prices to be paid, at least 10 Business Days prior to the Clean-Up Call Redemption Date). So long as any Secured Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the guidelines of such exchange so require, the Trustee at the direction of the Issuer shall also provide notice of such Clean-Up Call Redemption to the Irish Stock Exchange.

(c) Promptly after the Issuer has notified the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Manager and the Rating Agencies of the Clean-Up Call Redemption Date, and as long as no Clean-Up Call Rescission is effected, the Issuer (or the Trustee on its behalf) will offer the Collateral Manager, the holders of the Junior Subordinated Notes and any other Person identified by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager the right to bid to purchase the Collateral Obligations at a price not less than the Clean-Up Call Purchase Price. Any Clean-Up Call Redemption is subject to (i) the sale of the Collateral Obligations by the Issuer to the highest bidder therefor pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence on or prior to the third Business Day immediately preceding the related Clean-Up Call Redemption Date, for a purchase price in Cash (the "Clean-Up Call Purchase Price") payable prior to or on the Clean-Up Call Redemption Date at least equal to the greater of (1) the sum of (a) the sum of the Redemption Prices of the Secured Notes, plus (b) the aggregate of all other amounts owing by the Issuer on the date of such redemption that are payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments prior to distributions in respect of the Subordinated Notes, minus (c) all other Assets available for application in accordance with the Priority of Payments on the Redemption Date and (2) the Market Value of such Assets being purchased, and (ii) the receipt by the Trustee from the Collateral Manager, prior to such purchase, of certification from the Collateral Manager that the sum to be received satisfies clause (i). Upon receipt by the Trustee of the certification referred to in the preceding sentence, the Trustee (pursuant to written direction from the Issuer) and the Issuer shall take all actions necessary to sell, assign and transfer the Assets to the applicable holder of Subordinated Notes, the Collateral Manager or such other Person upon payment in immediately available funds of the Clean-Up Call Purchase Price. The Trustee shall deposit such payment into the applicable sub-account of the Collection Account in accordance with the instructions of the Collateral Manager.

In addition to the items described above, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) may, but under no circumstances shall be required to, deposit from time to time additional Monies into the Collection Account that it receives from external sources for the benefit of the Secured Parties (other than payments on or in respect of the Collateral Obligations, Eligible Investments or other existing Assets) as it deems, in its sole discretion, to be advisable (and may designate any amounts credited pursuant to this sentence as Principal Proceeds or Interest Proceeds in its discretion); provided that the contributor of each any additional Monies will not receive any securities, additional security interest or any other consideration from the Issuer in return for such contribution. All Monies deposited from time to time in the Collection Account pursuant to this Indenture shall be held by the Trustee as part of the Assets and shall be applied to the purposes herein provided.

-177-

(b) At any time when reinvestment is permitted pursuant to Article XII, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may direct the Trustee to, and upon receipt of such direction the Trustee shall, withdraw funds (i) on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount representing Principal Proceeds (including Principal Financed Accrued Interest used to pay for accrued interest on an additional Collateral Obligation) and reinvest (or invest, in the case of funds referred to in Section 7.17) such funds in additional Collateral Obligations in accordance with the requirements of Article XII and such direction and (ii) on deposit in the Interest Collection Subaccount representing Interest Proceeds and use such funds to exercise a warrant held in the Assets in accordance with the requirements of Article XII and such direction so long as the Collateral Manager reasonably believes that such withdrawal of Interest Proceeds will not result in the failure to make any payment of interest due on the Class A Notes or Class B Notes on the next succeeding Payment Date. At any time, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may direct the Trustee to, and upon receipt of such direction the Trustee shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount representing Principal Proceeds and deposit such funds in the Unfunded Exposure Account to meet funding requirements on Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations or Revolving Collateral Obligations.

(c) The Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may by direct the Trustee to, and upon receipt of such direction the Trustee shall, pay from amounts on deposit in the Interest Collection Subaccount representing Interest Proceeds on any Business Day during any Interest Accrual Period (i) any amount required to exercise a warrant held in the Assets or right to acquire securities in accordance with the requirements of Article XII and such direction and (ii) any Administrative Expenses (paid in the order of priority set forth in the definition thereof); provided that the payment of Administrative Expenses payable to the Trustee, to the Bank in any capacity or to the Collateral Administrator shall not require such direction; provided, further, that the aggregate Administrative Expenses paid pursuant to this Section 10.2(d) during any Collection Period shall not exceed the Administrative Expense Cap for the related Payment Date. The Trustee shall not be obligated to make such payment if, in the reasonable determination of the Trustee, such payment would leave insufficient funds, taking into account the Administrative Expense Cap, for payments anticipated to be or become due or payable on the next Payment Date that are given a higher priority in the definition of Administrative Expenses.

(d) The Trustee shall transfer to the Payment Account as applicable, from the Collection Account, for application pursuant to Section 11.1(a) of this Indenture, on or not later than the Business Day preceding each Payment Date, the amount set forth to be so transferred in the Distribution Report for such Payment Date.

Section 10.3 Payment Account; Custodial Account; Ramp-Up Account; Expense Reserve Account; Interest Reserve Account; Unfunded Exposure Account.

(a) Payment Account. The Trustee shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Custodian a segregated non-interest bearing trust account which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated as the Payment Account, which shall be maintained by the Issuer with the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. Except as provided in Section 11.1(a), the only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Payment Account shall be to pay amounts due and payable on the Notes in accordance with their terms and the provisions of this Indenture and to pay Administrative Expenses and other amounts specified herein, each in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Co-Issuers shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Payment Account other than in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Funds in the Payment Account shall not be invested.

-178-

(b) Custodial Account. The Trustee shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Custodian a segregated non-interest bearing trust account which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated as the Custodial Account, which shall be maintained by the Issuer with the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. The only permitted withdrawals from the Custodial Account shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. The Co-Issuers shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Custodial Account other than in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Amounts, if any, in the Custodial Account shall not be invested.

(c) Ramp-Up Account. The Trustee shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Custodian a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall be designated as the Ramp-Up Account, which shall be maintained by the Issuer with the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. The Issuer hereby directs the Trustee to deposit U.S.$26,593,350.82 to the Ramp-Up Account on the Closing Date. In connection with any purchase of an additional Collateral Obligation, the Trustee shall apply amounts held in the Ramp-Up Account as provided by Section 7.17(a). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (and excluding any proceeds that shall be used to settle binding commitments entered into prior to that date), the Trustee shall deposit any remaining amounts in the Ramp-Up Account into the Principal Collection Subaccount as Principal Proceeds. On the first Business Day after a Trust Officer of the Trustee has received written notice from the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer's behalf) that either (i) the requirements of Section 7.17(c) will not be applicable or (ii) the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer's behalf) has satisfied the requirements set out in Section 7.17(c), the Trustee shall deposit any remaining amounts in the Ramp-Up Account (excluding any proceeds that will be used to settle binding commitments entered into prior to such date) ("Unused Proceeds") into the Principal Collection Subaccount as Principal Proceeds; provided, that the Collateral Manager, in its sole discretion, may instruct the Trustee in such notice to deposit (and the Trustee will so deposit) into the Interest Collection Subaccount as Interest Proceeds, an amount (such amount, the "Designated Proceeds") not to exceed the greater of (x) 0.75% of the Aggregate Ramp-Up Par Amount and (y) the amount necessary to pay accrued and unpaid interest on each Class of Secured Notes in full on the next succeeding Payment Date (provided that the Collateral Manager may not designate any such amounts set forth in clauses (x) or (y) as Interest Proceeds if such designation would cause the Collateral Principal Amount to be less than the Aggregate Ramp-Up Par Amount). Any income earned on amounts deposited in the Ramp-Up Account shall be deposited in the Collection Account as Interest Proceeds as it is paid.

-179-

(d) Expense Reserve Account. The Trustee shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Custodian a segregated non-interest bearing trust account which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated as the Expense Reserve Account, which shall be maintained by the Issuer with the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. The Issuer hereby directs the Trustee to deposit U.S.$154,656.14 from the proceeds of the sale of the Notes to the Expense Reserve Account as Interest Proceeds on the Closing Date. The Trustee shall apply funds from the Expense Reserve Account, in the amounts and as directed in writing by the Collateral Manager, to pay amounts due in respect of actions taken on or before the Closing Date. On each Payment Date, the Trustee shall, if so directed by the Collateral Manager, transfer to the Expense Reserve Account an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Administrative Expense Cap over the amounts due under clauses (1) and (2) of Section 11.1(a)(i)(A) (up to U.S.$50,000) to the Expense Reserve Account in accordance with clause (3) of Section 11.1(a)(i)(A). Amounts in the Expense Reserve Account shall be invested at the direction of the Collateral Manager in Eligible Investments with stated maturities no later than the Business Day prior to the Payment Date next succeeding the acquisition of such securities or instruments. Any income earned on amounts on deposit in the Expense Reserve Account shall be deposited in the Interest Collection Subaccount as Interest Proceeds as it is paid. On any Business Day, at the direction of the Collateral Manager funds in the Expense Reserve Account (after deducting any expenses to be paid on the immediately succeeding Payment Date (if any) or in connection with actions taken on or before the Closing Date) may be deposited in the Collection Account as Interest Proceeds and/or Principal Proceeds (in the respective amounts directed by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion). On any such date between Payment Dates and on each Payment Date, the Trustee shall apply amounts, if any, in the Expense Reserve Account to the payment of expenses and fees that must be paid between Payment Dates or that are due on that Payment Date under clauses (1) and (2) of Section 11.1(a)(i)(A), provided that the Trustee shall be entitled (but not required) without liability on its part, to refrain from making any such payment of an Administrative Expense on any day other than a Payment Date if, in its reasonable determination, taking into account the Administrative Expense Cap, the payment of such amount is likely to leave insufficient funds available to pay in full each of the items described in Section 11.1(a)(i)(A) as reasonably anticipated to be or become due and payable on the next Payment Date, and having priority over the payment to be made on such day in accordance with such Section 11.1(a)(i)(A) and the definition of "Administrative Expenses".

(e) Interest Reserve Account. The Trustee shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Custodian a segregated non-interest bearing trust account which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated as the Interest Reserve Account, which shall be maintained by the Issuer with the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. The Issuer hereby directs the Trustee to deposit U.S.$1,700,000 to the Interest Reserve Account on the Closing Date. On any date prior to the Determination Date relating to the Payment Date occurring in January 2018, the Issuer, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, by Issuer Order, may direct that all or any portion of funds in the Interest Reserve Account be deposited in the Collection Account as Interest Proceeds and/or Principal Proceeds (in the respective amounts directed by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion) as long as, after giving effect to such deposits, the Collateral Manager determines (as certified in such Issuer Order) that the Issuer shall have sufficient funds in the Collection Account to pay Administrative Expenses pursuant to clause (A), the Senior Management Fee pursuant to clause (B) and any amounts on the Secured Notes pursuant to clauses (D), (E), (G), (H), (J), (K), (M) and (N) of Section 11.1(a)(i) on the Payment Date occurring in January 2018. Amounts in the Interest Reserve Account will be invested at the direction of the Collateral Manager in Eligible Investments with stated maturities no later than the Business Day prior to the Payment Date next succeeding the acquisition of such securities or instruments. Any income earned on amounts deposited in the Interest Reserve Account will be deposited in the Interest Collection Subaccount as Interest Proceeds as it is paid.

(f) Unfunded Exposure Account. Upon the purchase of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation identified by written notice to the Trustee, funds in an amount equal to the undrawn portion of such obligation shall be withdrawn first from the Ramp-Up Account and, if necessary, from the Principal Collection Subaccount and deposited by the Trustee in a segregated non-interest bearing trust account which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated as the Unfunded Exposure Account, which shall be maintained by the Issuer with the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. The Issuer hereby directs the Trustee to deposit U.S.$152,941.18 from the proceeds of the sale of the Notes to the Unfunded Exposure Account on the Closing Date. Upon initial purchase of any such obligations, funds deposited in the Unfunded Exposure Account in respect of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation will be treated as part of the purchase price therefor. Amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account will be invested in overnight funds that are Eligible Investments selected by the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 10.5 and income earned from all such investments will be deposited in the Interest Collection Subaccount as Interest Proceeds as it is paid.

The Issuer shall at all times maintain sufficient funds on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account such that the sum of the amount of funds on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account shall be equal to or greater than the sum of the unfunded funding obligations under all such Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations and Revolving Collateral Obligations then included in the Assets. Funds shall be deposited in the Unfunded Exposure Account upon the purchase of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation and upon the receipt by the Issuer of any Principal Proceeds with respect to a Revolving Collateral Obligation as directed by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer. In the event of any shortfall in the Unfunded Exposure Account, the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer) may direct the Trustee to, and the Trustee thereafter shall, transfer funds in an amount equal to such shortfall from the Ramp-Up Account or the Principal Collection Subaccount to the Unfunded Exposure Account.

Any funds in the Unfunded Exposure Account (other than earnings from Eligible Investments therein) will be applied solely to cover any drawdowns on the Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations and Revolving Collateral Obligations; provided that any excess of (A) the amounts on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account over (B) the sum of the unfunded funding obligations under all Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations and Revolving Collateral Obligations that are included in the Assets may be transferred by the Trustee (at the written direction of the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) from time to time as Principal Proceeds to the Principal Collection Subaccount.

Section 10.4 Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account. If and to the extent that any Hedge Agreement requires the Hedge Counterparty to post collateral with respect to such Hedge Agreement, the Issuer shall (at the direction of the Collateral Manager), on or prior to the date such Hedge Agreement is entered into, direct the Trustee to establish in the name of the Trustee a segregated, non-interest bearing trust account which shall be designated as a Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account (each, a "Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account"). The Trustee (as directed in writing by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall deposit into each Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account all collateral required to be posted by a Hedge Counterparty and all other funds and property required by the terms of any Hedge Agreement to be deposited into the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account, in accordance with the terms of the related Hedge Agreement. The only permitted withdrawals from or application of funds or property on deposit in the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account shall be in accordance with the written instructions of the Collateral Manager. Amounts in the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account Amounts will be invested in overnight funds that are Eligible Investments selected by the Collateral Manager and income earned from all such investments will be deposited in the Interest Collection Subaccount as Interest Proceeds as it is paid.

Section 10.5 Reinvestment of Funds in Accounts; Reports by Trustee. (a) By Issuer Order (which may be in the form of standing instructions), the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall at all times direct the Trustee to, and, upon receipt of such Issuer Order, the Trustee shall, invest all funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Ramp-Up Account, the Expense Reserve Account and the Interest Reserve Account as so directed in Eligible Investments having Stated Maturities no later than the Business Day preceding the next Payment Date (or such other maturities expressly provided herein). If prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to which the Secured Notes have been declared (or have become) due and payable and such declaration has not been rescinded, the Issuer shall not have given any such investment directions, the Trustee shall seek instructions from the Collateral Manager within three Business Days after transfer of any funds to such accounts. If the Trustee does not thereafter receive written instructions from the Collateral Manager within five Business Days after transfer of such funds to such accounts, it shall invest and reinvest the funds held in such accounts, as fully as practicable, in an investment vehicle (which shall be an Eligible Investment) designated as such by the Collateral Manager to the Trustee in writing on or before the Closing Date, (such investment, until and as it may be changed from time to time as hereinafter provided, the "Standby Directed Investment"), until investment instruction as provided in the preceding sentence is received by the Trustee; or, if the Trustee from time to time receives a standing written instruction from the Collateral Manager expressly stating that it is changing the "Standby Directed Investment" under this paragraph, the Standby Designated Investment may thereby be changed to an Eligible Investment of the type described in clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible Investments" maturing no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date (or such shorter maturities expressly provided herein) as designated in such instruction. After an Event of Default with respect to which the Secured Notes have been declared (or have become) due and payable and such declaration has not been rescinded, the Trustee shall invest and reinvest such Monies as fully as practicable in "U.S. Bank Money Market Deposit Account" or, if no longer available, such similar investment of the type set forth in clause (ii) of the definition of Eligible Investments maturing not later than the earlier of (i) 30 days after the date of such investment (unless putable at par to the issuer thereof) or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date (or such other maturities expressly provided herein). Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise herein, all interest and other income from such investments shall be deposited in the Interest Collection Subaccount, any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the Principal Collection Subaccount upon receipt, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Principal Collection Subaccount. The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable for the selection of investments, for investment losses incurred therein including by reason of untimely written directions or for any insufficiency of such accounts which results from any loss relating to any such investment; provided that the foregoing shall not relieve the Bank of its obligations under any security or obligation issued by the Bank or any Affiliate thereof.

-182-

The Trustee agrees to give the Issuer immediate notice if a Trust Officer of the Trustee receives written notice that any Account or any funds on deposit in any Account, or otherwise to the credit of an Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. All Accounts shall remain at all times with the Trustee or (a) with a federal or state chartered depository institution that (x) satisfies the Fitch Eligible Counterparty Ratings and (y) is rated at least "P-1 and "A2" by Moody's, and if such institution's rating falls below the Fitch Eligible Counterparty Ratings or below "P-1" or "A2" by Moody's, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the assets held in such Account to be moved within 30 calendar days to another institution that satisfies the Fitch Eligible Counterparty Ratings and is rated at least "P-1" and "A2" by Moody's or (b) other than in the case of Accounts to which cash is credited, in segregated trust accounts with the corporate trust department of a federal or state chartered deposit institution rated at least "Baa1" by Moody's and that meets the Fitch Eligible Counterparty Ratings and if such institution's rating falls below "Baa1" by Moody's or below the Fitch Eligible Counterparty Ratings, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the assets held in such Account to be moved within 30 calendar days to another institution that is rated at least "Baa1" by Moody's and that meets the Fitch Eligible Counterparty Ratings and subject to regulations regarding fiduciary funds on deposit similar to Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulation Section 9.10(b). Such institution shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$200,000,000. All Cash deposited in the Accounts shall be invested only in Eligible Investments or Collateral Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. To avoid the consolidation of the Assets of the Issuer with the general assets of the Bank under any circumstances, the Trustee shall comply, and shall cause the Custodian to comply, with all law applicable to it as a national bank with trust powers holding segregated trust assets in a fiduciary capacity.

(a) The Trustee shall supply, in a timely fashion, to the Co-Issuers, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator and the Rating Agencies any information regularly maintained by the Trustee that the Co-Issuers, the Collateral Administrator, the Rating Agencies or the Collateral Manager may from time to time request in writing with respect to the Pledged Obligations, the Accounts and the other Assets and provide any other requested information reasonably available to the Trustee by reason of its acting as Trustee hereunder and required (at the direction of the Collateral Manager) to be provided by Section 10.6, to permit the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations under the Collateral Management Agreement or the Collateral Administration Agreement or to permit the Collateral Administrator to perform its obligations under the Collateral Administration Agreement. The Trustee shall promptly forward to the Collateral Manager copies of notices and other writings received by it from the Obligor of any Collateral Obligation or from any Clearing Agency with respect to any Collateral Obligation which notices or writings advise the holders of such security of any rights that the holders might have with respect thereto (including, without limitation, requests to vote with respect to amendments or waivers and notices of prepayments and redemptions) as well as all periodic financial reports, and other communications received from such Obligor and Clearing Agencies with respect to such Obligor.

After (x)(i) a Majority of the Junior Subordinated Notes has directed (by a written direction delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Manager) an Optional Redemption of the Secured Notes, (ii) a Majority of an Affected Class or a Majority of the Senior Subordinated Notes or the Junior Subordinated Notes has directed (by a written direction delivered to the Trustee) a Tax Redemption, or (iii) the Issuer has notified the Trustee of a Clean-Up Call Redemption, and (y) all requirements for such an Optional Redemption, Tax Redemption or Clean-Up Call Redemption set forth in the Indenture are met, the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer) shall direct the Trustee to sell (which sale may be through participation or other arrangement) all or a portion of the Collateral Obligations. If any such sale is made through participations, the Issuer shall use reasonable efforts to cause such participations to be converted to assignments within six months after the sale.

(f) Discretionary Sales. The Collateral Manager may direct the Trustee to sell any Collateral Obligation (other than Collateral Obligations the Issuer is permitted to sell as provided in clauses (a) through (e) above), during the Reinvestment Period, at any time other than a Restricted Trading Period, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if (i) after giving effect to such sale, the Aggregate Principal Balance of all Collateral Obligations sold pursuant to this Section 12.1(f) during the preceding period of twelve calendar months (or, for the first twelve calendar months after the Closing Date, during the period commencing on the Closing Date) is not greater than 25% of the Collateral Principal Amount as of the beginning of such twelve calendar month period (or as of the Closing Date, as the case may be); provided that for the purpose of determining the percentage of Collateral Obligations sold during any such period, the amount of any Collateral Obligations sold shall be reduced to the extent of any purchases of Collateral Obligations of the same Obligor (which are pari passu or senior to such sold Collateral Obligation) occurring within 45 days of such sale (determined based upon the date of any relevant trade confirmation or commitment letter) so long as any such Collateral Obligation was sold with the intention of purchasing a Collateral Obligation of the same Obligor (which would be pari passu or senior to such sold Collateral Obligation) and (ii) either:

-204-

(A) after giving effect to such sale, the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Collateral Obligations (excluding the Collateral Obligation being sold) and Eligible Investments constituting Principal Proceeds (including, without duplication, the anticipated net proceeds of such sale) shall be greater than (or equal to) the Reinvestment Target Par Balance; or

(g) Mandatory Sales.

Section 12.2 Purchase of Additional Collateral Obligations. On any date during the Reinvestment Period (and after the Reinvestment Period with respect to purchases made pursuant to Section 12.2(b)) the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, may, but shall not be required to, direct the Trustee to invest Principal Proceeds (and accrued interest received with respect to any Collateral Obligation to the extent used to pay for accrued interest on additional Collateral Obligations) in additional Collateral Obligations, and the Trustee shall invest such proceeds, if, as certified by the Collateral Manager, each of the conditions specified in this Section 12.2 including Section 12.2(f), if applicable, are met.

-205-

(a) Investment Criteria - Investment during the Reinvestment Period.

(v) if such Collateral Obligation is a Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligation, the Reinvestment Period Settlement Condition is satisfied; and

(vi) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such proposed investment.

-208-

(c) Investment in Eligible Investments. Cash on deposit in any Account may be invested at any time in Eligible Investments in accordance with Article X.

(d) Trading Plan Period. For purposes of calculating compliance with the Investment Criteria, at the election of the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion, any proposed investment (whether a single Collateral Obligation or a group of Collateral Obligations identified by the Collateral Manager to the Trustee as such at the time when compliance with the Investment Criteria is required to be calculated (a "Trading Plan")) may be evaluated after giving effect to all sales and reinvestments proposed to be entered into within the ten (10) Business Days following the date of determination of such compliance (such period, the "Trading Plan Period"); provided that (i) no Trading Plan may result in the purchase of Collateral Obligations having an Aggregate Principal Balance that exceeds 5% of the Collateral Principal Amount as of the first day of the Trading Plan Period, (ii) no Trading Plan Period may include a Determination Date, (iii) no more than one Trading Plan may be in effect at any time during a Trading Plan Period, (iv) the Collateral Manager reasonably believes that each Trading Plan shall satisfy the Investment Criteria, (v) after the Reinvestment Period, the Collateral Obligations purchased as part of a Trading Plan shall have the same or earlier maturity in comparison to (I) the Collateral Obligation in respect of which such Unscheduled Principal Payments were made or (II) the Credit Impaired Obligation or Credit Improved Obligation from which such Principal Proceeds were received, (vi) the difference in maturities between any two Collateral Obligations included in any one Trading Plan shall not exceed two years, (vii) no Trading Plan shall include any Collateral Obligation that matures within six (6) months of the start of such Trading Plan Period, (viii) no Trading Plan may result in the averaging of the purchase price of one or more Collateral Obligations purchased at separate times for the purpose of determining whether any particular Collateral Obligation is a Discount Obligation and (ix) if the Investment Criteria are not satisfied with respect to any Trading Plan, notice shall be provided to each Rating Agency by the Collateral Manager and compliance with the Investment Criteria shall not be evaluated by giving effect to another Trading Plan at any time thereafter. Notice shall be provided to Fitch (so long as the Class A Notes are outstanding), Moody's, the Trustee (who shall forward such notice to the Holders of the Notes no later than the Business Day following receipt thereof) and the Collateral Administrator by the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) of any Trading Plan and shall specify the proposed investments identified by the Collateral Manager for acquisition as part of such Trading Plan. The Trustee shall post a notice to investors on its website if any Trading Plan is executed.

(e) Exercise of Warrants. The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) will not exercise any warrant or other similar right received in connection with a workout or a restructuring of a Collateral Obligation that requires a payment that results in receipt of an Equity Security unless the Collateral Manager on the Issuer's behalf certifies to the Trustee that (i) exercising the warrant or other similar right is necessary for the Issuer to realize the value of the workout or restructuring, (ii) such Equity Security will be sold prior to the Issuer's receipt of such Equity Security unless such sale or other disposition is prohibited by applicable law or an applicable contractual restriction in the related Underlying Instruments, in which case the Collateral Manager will sell such Equity Security as soon as such sale or disposition is permitted by applicable law and not prohibited by such contractual restriction and (iii) the Collateral Manager and the Issuer have received written advice of counsel of national reputation experienced in such matters that such exercise, payment, and retention, in and of themselves, should not cause the Issuer to fail to qualify as a loan securitization under the Xxxxxxx Rule or result in the Issuer becoming a "covered fund" under the Xxxxxxx Rule.

-209-

(f) Amendments to Collateral Obligations. During the Reinvestment Period, the Issuer shall only consent, and shall only allow the Collateral Manager to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification to any Collateral Obligation that would extend the maturity thereof (a "Maturity Amendment") if, after giving effect to such amendment, waiver or other modification, (a) the Weighted Average Life Test (1) is satisfied or (2) if the Weighted Average Life Test is not satisfied immediately after giving effect to such Maturity Amendment, the Weighted Average Life Test shall be maintained or improved and (b) the maturity of such Collateral Obligation is not extended beyond the shortest Stated Maturity of any of the Secured Notes still Outstanding. After the Reinvestment Period, the Issuer shall only consent and shall only allow the Collateral Manager to consent to any amendment if, after giving effect to such Maturity Amendment, (a) the Weighted Average Life Test is satisfied and (b) the maturity of such Collateral Obligation is not extended beyond the shortest Stated Maturity of any of the Secured Notes still Outstanding.

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, the Issuer may consent to a Maturity Amendment before or after the Reinvestment Period if it has received the express consent of each of the Collateral Manager and a Majority of the Controlling Class. It shall not be a violation of the restrictions of this Section 12.2(f) if any Collateral Obligation is amended in violation of the restriction in this Section 12.2(f) so long as the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) has not consented to such amendment. A waiver, modification, amendment or variance that would extend the stated maturity date of the credit facility of which any applicable Collateral Obligation is a part, but which would not extend the stated maturity date of such Collateral Obligation held by the Issuer, shall not constitute a Maturity Amendment. In addition, the restrictions in this Section 12.2(f) shall not apply if such Maturity Amendment is a Credit Amendment (provided that any Credit Amendment shall not extend the maturity of any Collateral Obligation beyond the shortest Stated Maturity of any of the Secured Notes still Outstanding), and any Credit Amendment that does not satisfy the Weighted Average Life Test shall have all payments (interest, principal and otherwise) be counted as Principal Proceeds and after the Reinvestment Period such payments shall not be eligible for reinvestment.

(g) Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement. The Issuer shall be prohibited from purchasing a Collateral Obligation during the Reinvestment Period if such purchase is not scheduled to settle prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period (such Collateral Obligation, the "Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligation"); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may purchase such Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligation during the Reinvestment Period if the sum of (i) the amount of Eligible Investments and cash representing Principal Proceeds in the Collection Account as of the last day of the Reinvestment Period plus (ii) the expected sale proceeds from any Collateral Obligations that the Issuer has entered into a written trade ticket or other written binding commitment to sell that are also not scheduled to settle prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period is equal to or greater than the principal amount of the Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligation being purchased (the "Reinvestment Period Settlement Condition"). If the Issuer has entered into a written trade ticket or other written binding commitment to purchase a Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligation during the Reinvestment Period with respect to which the Reinvestment Period Settlement Condition is satisfied, such Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligation shall be treated as having been purchased by the Issuer prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period for purposes of the Investment Criteria, and Principal Proceeds received after the end of the Reinvestment Period may be applied to the payment of the purchase price of such Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligation. Immediately preceding the end of the Reinvestment Period, the Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Trustee a schedule of Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligations and shall certify to the Trustee that the Reinvestment Period Settlement Condition is satisfied with respect to each such Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligation.

Section 12.3 Disposition of Illiquid Assets. (a) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article XII or any other provision herein to the contrary, if (A) at any time the Assets consist exclusively of (1) Eligible Investments (including Cash), and/or (2) one or more of the following: (i) a Defaulted Obligation, an Equity Security, an obligation received in connection with an offer or other exchange or any other security or debt obligation that is part of the Assets, in respect of which (x) the Issuer has not received a payment in Cash during the preceding twelve (12) calendar months and (y) the Collateral Manager certifies that it is not aware, after reasonable inquiry, that the issuer or Obligor of such Asset has publicly announced or informed the holders of such Asset that it intends to make a payment in Cash in respect of such Asset within the next twelve (12) calendar months or (ii) any asset, claim or other property identified in a certificate of an officer of the Collateral Manager as having a Market Value of less than U.S. $1,000 (the items described in clause (a)(A)(2)(i) and (ii) each being an "Illiquid Asset"), or (B) at any time after the Reinvestment Period any Assets are Illiquid Assets, then the Collateral Manager may provide written direction to the Trustee to request (or retain another bank or agent to request) bids with respect to each such Illiquid Asset pursuant to Section 12.3(b) and to provide written notice to the Holders of Notes requesting that any Holder of Notes that wishes to bid on any such Illiquid Asset notify the Trustee (with a copy to the Collateral Manager) of such intention within 15 Business Days after the date of such notice. The Trustee (or another bank or agent retained by it) shall, after the end of such 15 Business Day period, offer the Illiquid Assets for public or private sale as determined and directed by the Collateral Manager (including, in the case of a private sale, to Persons, if any, identified to the Trustee by the Collateral Manager) and, if any Holder of Notes so notifies the Trustee that it wishes to bid, such Holder of Notes shall be included in the distribution of sale offering or bid solicitation material in connection therewith and thereby given an opportunity to participate with other bidders, if any.

(a) The Trustee (or another bank or agent retained by it) shall request bids for the sale of each such Illiquid Asset from (i) at least three Persons identified to the Trustee by the Collateral Manager that make a market in or specialize in obligations of the nature of such Illiquid Asset, (ii) the Collateral Manager, (iii) each Holder of Notes that so notified the Trustee that it wishes to bid and (iv) in the case of a public sale, any other participating bidders, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for the sufficiency or acceptability of such procedures for any purpose or for any results obtained. The Trustee (or other bank or agent retained by it) shall notify the Collateral Manager promptly of the results of such bids. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, (x) if the aggregate amount of the highest bids received (if any) is greater than or equal to U.S.$100,000, the Issuer shall sell each Illiquid Asset to the highest bidder (which may include the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates) and (y) if the aggregate amount of the highest bids received is less than U.S. $100,000 or no bids are received, the Trustee (or other bank or agent retained by it) shall dispose of the Illiquid Assets as directed by the Collateral Manager in its reasonable business judgment, which may include (with respect to each Illiquid Asset) (I) selling it to the highest bidder (which may include the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates) if a bid was received; (II) donating it to a charitable organization designated by the Collateral Manager or (III) returning it to its issuer or Obligor for cancellation. The proceeds of the sale of Illiquid Assets (after payment of fees and expenses of the Trustee (or other bank or agent retained by it) and the Collateral Manager incurred in connection with dispositions under the provisions described in this section), if any, shall be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

-211-

(b) The Trustee shall not dispose of Illiquid Assets in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph if directed not to do so, at any time following notice of such disposal and prior to release, or acceptance of an offer for sale, of such Illiquid Asset, by a Majority of the Controlling Class or a Majority of the Junior Subordinated Notes. The Trustee shall have no liability for the results of any such sale or disposition of Illiquid Assets, including, without limitation, if the proceeds received, if any, are insufficient to pay all outstanding Administrative Expenses in full.

(c) Following any disposition of Illiquid Assets in accordance with Section 12.3(a)(A), any remaining Assets held by the Issuer shall be liquidated immediately prior to the Stated Maturity so that the net proceeds of such liquidation shall be available on the Stated Maturity.

Section 12.4 Conditions Applicable to All Sale and Purchase Transactions. (a) Any transaction effected under this Article XII or in connection with the acquisition of additional Collateral Obligations during the Ramp-Up Period shall be conducted on an arm's length basis and, if effected with a Person Affiliated with the Collateral Manager, shall be effected in accordance with the requirements of Section 5(f) of the Collateral Management Agreement; provided that the Trustee shall have no responsibility to oversee compliance with this clause (a) by the other parties.

(a) Upon any acquisition of a Collateral Obligation pursuant to this Article XII, all of the Issuer's right, title and interest to the Pledged Obligation or Pledged Obligations shall be Granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, such Pledged Obligations shall be Delivered to the Trustee.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XII to the contrary, the Issuer shall have the right to effect any sale of any Pledged Obligation or purchase of any Collateral Obligation (x) that has been separately consented to by Noteholders evidencing at least 75% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each Class of Notes, and (y) of which the Trustee and the Rating Agencies have been notified.

-212-

(c) If the Issuer and the Collateral Manager have received an Opinion of Counsel of national reputation experienced in such matters (together with an Officer's certificate of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager to the Trustee (on which the Trustee may rely) that the Opinion of Counsel specified in this clause has been received by the Issuer and the Collateral Manager) that the Issuer's ownership of any specific Collateral Obligations or Eligible Investments would cause the Issuer to be unable to comply with the "loan securitization exemption" from the definition of "covered fund" under the Xxxxxxx Rule, then (i) notwithstanding Sections 12.1, 12.3 and 12.4, and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 12.1(f), the Collateral Manager shall take commercially reasonable efforts to sell such Collateral Obligations or Eligible Investments (excluding any Senior Secured Loan) and (ii) notwithstanding Sections 12.2 and 12.4, the Collateral Manager shall not purchase any additional Collateral Obligations or Eligible Investments of the type identified in such Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to independently oversee compliance with this clause (d) by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager.

Section 13.1 Subordination. (a) Anything in this Indenture or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holders of each Class of Notes that constitute a Junior Class agree for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes of each Priority Class with respect to such Junior Class that such Junior Class shall be subordinate and junior to the Notes of each such Priority Class to the extent and in the manner set forth in Article XI of this Indenture. On any Post-Acceleration Payment Date or on the Stated Maturity, all accrued and unpaid interest on and outstanding principal of each Priority Class shall be paid pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(iii) in full in Cash or, to the extent 100% of Holders of the Class A Notes and a Majority of such Class of Secured Notes consents, other than in Cash, before any further payment or distribution is made on account of any Junior Class with respect thereto, to the extent and in the manner provided in Section 11.1(a)(iii).

(a) If any Holder of Notes of any Junior Class shall have received any payment or distribution in respect of such Notes contrary to the provisions of this Indenture, then, unless and until each Priority Class with respect thereto shall have been paid in full in Cash or, to the extent a Majority of such Priority Class consents, other than in Cash in accordance with this Indenture, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of, and shall forthwith be paid over and delivered to, the Trustee, which shall pay and deliver the same to the Holders of the applicable Priority Class(es) in accordance with this Indenture; provided that if any such payment or distribution is made other than in Cash, it shall be held by the Trustee as part of the Assets and subject in all respects to the provisions of this Indenture, including this Section 13.1.

Nothing in this Section 13.1 shall affect the obligation of the Issuer to pay Holders of any Junior Class of Notes.

-213-

(c) The Holders of each Class of Notes agree, for the benefit of all Holders of each Class of Notes, not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary until the payment in full of the Notes and not before one year and a day, or if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect plus one day, has elapsed since such payment.

Section 13.2 Standard of Conduct. In exercising any of its or their voting rights, rights to direct and consent or any other rights as a Holder under this Indenture, a Holder or Holders shall not have any obligation or duty to any Person or to consider or take into account the interests of any Person and shall not be liable to any Person for any action taken by it or them or at its or their direction or any failure by it or them to act or to direct that an action be taken, without regard to whether such action or inaction benefits or adversely affects any Holder, the Issuer, or any other Person, except for any liability to which such Holder may be subject to the extent the same results from such Holder's taking or directing an action, or failing to take or direct an action, in bad faith or in violation of the express terms of this Indenture.

The Trustee shall obtain and provide to the Issuer and the Collateral Manager (or their respective agents) upon request a list of Agent Members holding positions in the Notes at the cost of the Issuer as an Administrative Expense to the extent funds are available to pay such expense.

ARTICLE XIV

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 14.1 Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an Officer of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such Officer knows, or should know that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Officer of the Issuer, Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or any other Person, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or such other Person, unless such Officer of the Issuer, Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager or such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may also be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Officer of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such matters is in the possession of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Trustee at the request or direction of either Co-Issuer, then notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to such Co-Issuer's right to make such request or direction, the Trustee shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such Default or Event of Default as provided in Section 6.1(d).

Section 14.2 Acts of Holders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in writing or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action or actions embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act of Holders" signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Co-Issuers, if made in the manner provided in this Section 14.2.

-215-

(a) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

(b) The principal amount or face amount, as the case may be, and registered numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of such Person's holding the same, shall be proved by the Register.

(c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder (and any transferee thereof) of such Note and of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Co-Issuers in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any agreement or document related thereto, any report, statement or other information required to be provided by the Issuer (except information required to be provided to the Irish Stock Exchange) or the Trustee may be provided by providing access to a website containing such information (with the exception of the Accountant's Report or the Ramp-Up Period Accountant's Report).

(e) The Bank (in each of its capacities) agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture or any document executed in connection herewith sent by unsecured email, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that any Person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to the Bank an incumbency certificate listing authorized persons designated to provide such instructions or directions, which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a person is added or deleted from the listing.

Section 14.4 Notices to Holders; Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event,

(a) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Register or, as applicable, in accordance with the procedures at DTC, as soon as reasonably practicable but in any case not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice;

(b) for so long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the guidelines of the Irish Stock Exchange so require, notices to the Holders of such Notes shall also be sent to the Irish Listing Agent for release via the Irish Stock Exchange; and

Such notices shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such mailing.

Except as specifically stated in Section 10.8, the Trustee shall deliver to the Holders any information or notice relating to this Indenture requested to be so delivered by at least 25% of the Holders of any Class of Notes (by Aggregate Outstanding Amount), at the expense of the Issuer.

The Trustee shall deliver to any Holder of Notes or any Person that has certified to the Trustee in a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit D to this Indenture that it is the owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note, any information or notice requested to be so delivered by a Holder or a Person that has made such certification that is reasonably available to the Trustee and all related costs will be borne by the requesting Holder or Person.

Neither the failure to mail any notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail of any event to Holders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then such notification to Holders as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

(a) To enable the Rating Agencies to comply with their obligations under Rule 17g-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act ("Rule 17g-5"), the Information Agent shall post on a password-protected internet website, in accordance with the provisions hereof and of the Collateral Management Agreement, all information (which shall not include any Accountants' Report) the Issuer provides to the Rating Agencies for the purposes of determining the initial credit rating of the Notes or undertaking credit rating surveillance of the Notes (the "17g-5 Information"). In the case of information provided for the purposes of undertaking credit rating surveillance of the Notes, such information shall be posted on a password-protected internet website in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 14.16(b). The Issuer shall appoint the Collateral Manager as the information agent (the "Information Agent") pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement and the sole duty of the Information Agent shall be to post such information to the 17g-5 Website in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Management Agreement.

(b) (i) To the extent that a Rating Agency makes an inquiry or initiates communications with the Issuer, the Collateral Administrator, the Trustee or the Collateral Manager that is relevant to such Rating Agency's credit rating surveillance of the Notes, all responses to such inquiries or communications from such Rating Agency shall be formulated in writing by the responding party or its representative or advisor and shall be provided to the Information Agent who shall promptly post such written response to the 17g-5 Website in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 14.16(b)(iv) and the Collateral Management Agreement.

(ii) To the extent that any of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator or the Trustee is required to provide any information to, or communicate with, any Rating Agency in accordance with its obligations under this Indenture or the Collateral Management Agreement, the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable (or their respective representatives or advisors), shall provide such information or communication to the Information Agent by e-mail at xxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx, which the Information Agent shall promptly post to the 17g-5 Website in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 14.16(b)(iv) and the Collateral Management Agreement.

-223-

(iii) The Issuer and the Collateral Manager (and their respective representatives and advisors) shall be permitted (but shall not be required) to orally communicate with the Rating Agencies regarding any Collateral Obligation or the Notes; provided that such party summarizes the information provided to the Rating Agencies in such communication and provides the Information Agent with such summary in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 14.16 within one Business Day of such communication taking place. The Information Agent shall post such summary on the 17g-5 Website in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 14.16(b)(iv) and the Collateral Management Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, neither audio nor video recordings shall be delivered to the Information Agent and if such recordings are delivered to the Information Agent, the Information Agent is not required to post such recordings on the 17g-5 Website unless it otherwise consents.

The Information Agent shall have no obligation or duty to verify, confirm or otherwise determine whether the information being delivered is accurate, complete, conforms to the transaction or otherwise is or is not anything other than what it purports to be. In the event that any information is delivered or posted in error, the Collateral Manager on the Issuer's behalf may cause it to be removed from the 17g-5 Website. None of the Trustee, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator or the Information Agent shall have obtained or shall be deemed to have obtained actual knowledge of any information solely due to receipt and posting to the 17g-5 Website. Access will be provided by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager (on the Issuer's behalf) to (A) any NRSRO (other than the Rating Agencies) upon receipt by the Issuer and the Collateral Manager of an NRSRO Certification from such NRSRO (which may be submitted electronically via the 17g-5 Website) and (B) the Rating Agencies, without submission of an NRSRO Certification. Questions regarding delivery of information to the Information Agent may be directed to the Information Agent.

(v) In connection with providing access to the 17g-5 Website, the Issuer and/or the Collateral Manager may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. The Information Agent, the Issuer and the Collateral Manager shall not be liable for unauthorized disclosure of any information that it disseminates in accordance with this Section 14.16(b) and solely in respect of the Information Agent, the Collateral Management Agreement and makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of information made available on the 17g-5 Website. The Information Agent shall not be liable for its failure to make any information available to the Rating Agencies or NRSROs unless such information was delivered to the Information Agent at the email address set forth in Section 14.16(b)(ii) and in accordance with the Collateral Management Agreement.

-224-

(vi) For the avoidance of doubt, no report of Independent certified public accountants (including, without limitation, any Ramp-Up Period Accountants' Report) shall be provided to or otherwise shared with any Rating Agency and under no circumstances shall any such report be posted to the 17g-5 Website.

(vii) The Trustee shall have no obligation to engage in or respond to any oral communications with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, any Transaction Documents relating hereto or in any way relating to the Notes or for the purposes of determining the initial credit rating of the Secured Notes or undertaking credit rating surveillance of the Secured Notes with any Rating Agency or any of its respective officers, directors or employees.

(x) Notwithstanding anything therein to the contrary, the maintenance by the Trustee of the Trustee's Website described in Article X shall not be deemed as compliance by or on behalf of the Issuer with Rule 17g-5 or any other law or regulation related thereto.

Section 14.17 Xxxxx'x Rating Condition. (a) Notwithstanding the terms of the Collateral Management Agreement, any Hedge Agreement or other provisions of this Indenture, if any action under the Collateral Management Agreement, any Hedge Agreement or this Indenture requires satisfaction of the Xxxxx'x Rating Condition as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the "Requesting Party") required to obtain satisfaction of such condition has made a request to Moody's for satisfaction of such condition and, within 10 Business Days of such request being posted to the 17g-5 Website, Moody's has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that Xxxxx'x is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for satisfaction of such condition, then such Requesting Party shall be required to confirm that Moody's has received the request, and, if it has, promptly (but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter) request satisfaction of the related condition again.

-225-

(a) Any request for satisfaction of any such condition described in Section 14.17(a) made by the Issuer (or Collateral Manager on its behalf), Co-Issuer or Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Indenture, shall be made in writing, which writing shall contain a cover page indicating the nature of the request for satisfaction of such condition, and shall contain all back-up material necessary for Moody's to process such request. Such written request for satisfaction of such condition shall be provided in electronic format to the Information Agent for posting on the 17g-5 Website in accordance with Section 14.16 hereof, and after receiving actual knowledge of such posting (which may be in the form of an automatic email notification of posting delivered by the 17g-5 Website to such party), the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf), Co-Issuer or Trustee, as applicable, shall send the request for satisfaction of such condition to Moody's in accordance with the delivery instructions set forth in Section 14.3(b).

Section 14.18 Waiver of Jury Trial.

HEDGE AGREEMENTS

Section 16.1 Hedge Agreements. (a) The Issuer may enter into Hedge Agreements from time to time on and after the Closing Date solely for the purpose of managing interest rate and foreign exchange risks in connection with the Issuer's issuance of, and making payments on, the Notes. The Issuer shall provide prior notice of the entry into any Hedge Agreement to the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator and the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall not enter into any Hedge Agreement unless (x) the Global Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect thereto (so long as a Rating Agency is then rating a Class of Notes) and (y) the hedging arrangement contemplated by such Hedge Agreement constitutes an interest rate or foreign exchange derivative and the terms of such derivative relate to the Notes and reduce the interest rate or foreign exchange risks related to the Notes in compliance with the "loan securitization exemption" under the Xxxxxxx Rule. The Issuer shall provide a copy of each Hedge Agreement to the Rating Agencies. The Issuer may enter into Hedge Agreements on or after the Closing Date, solely for the purpose of managing interest rate and other risks in connection with the Issuer's issuance of, and making payments on, the Notes; provided, that the Issuer will not enter into or amend any Hedge Agreement unless it obtains:

-227-

(i) the prior written consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class;

(ii) a certification from the Collateral Manager that (x) the written terms of the derivative directly relate to the Collateral Obligations and the Notes and (y) such derivative reduces the interest rate and/or foreign exchange risks related to the Collateral Obligations and the Notes; and

(iii) (x) the advice of Ashurst LLP, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP or an opinion of other nationally recognized counsel approved by the Initial Purchaser that entering into such Hedge Agreement will not cause the Issuer to be considered a "commodity pool" as defined in Section 1a(10) of the CEA, or (y) the Issuer will be operated such that the Collateral Manager and/or such other relevant party to the transaction, as applicable, will be eligible for an exemption from registration as a "commodity pool operator" and a "commodity trading advisor" under the CEA and all conditions precedent to obtaining such an exemption have been satisfied.

For so long as the Issuer and, if applicable, the Collateral Manager are subject to clause (ii) above, the Issuer and, as applicable, the Collateral Manager shall take all action necessary to ensure ongoing compliance with the applicable exemption from registration under the CEA. The reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Issuer and the Collateral Manager (including reasonable attorneys', accountants' and other professional fees and expenses) in connection with these requirements shall be paid as Administrative Expenses.

Each Hedge Agreement shall contain appropriate limited recourse and non-petition provisions equivalent (mutatis mutandis) to those contained in Section 2.8(i) and Section 5.4(d). Each Hedge Counterparty shall be required to have, at the time that any Hedge Agreement to which it is a party is entered into, the Required Hedge Counterparty Ratings (so long as a Rating Agency is then rating a Class of Notes) unless credit support is provided as set forth in the Hedge Agreement. Payments with respect to Hedge Agreements shall be subject to Article XI. Each Hedge Agreement shall contain an acknowledgement by the Hedge Counterparty that the obligations of the Issuer to the Hedge Counterparty under the relevant Hedge Agreement shall be payable in accordance with Article XI of this Agreement.

(b) In the event of any early termination of a Hedge Agreement with respect to which the Hedge Counterparty is the sole "defaulting party" or "affected party" (each as defined in the Hedge Agreements), (i) any termination payment paid by the Hedge Counterparty to the Issuer may be paid to a replacement Hedge Counterparty at the direction of the Collateral Manager and (ii) any payment received from a replacement Hedge Counterparty may be paid to the replaced Hedge Counterparty at the direction of the Collateral Manager under the terminated Hedge Agreement.

-228-

(c) The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall, upon receiving written notice of the exposure calculated under a credit support annex to any Hedge Agreement, if applicable, make a demand to the relevant Hedge Counterparty and its credit support provider, if applicable, for securities having a value under such credit support annex equal to the required credit support amount.

(d) Each Hedge Agreement shall, at a minimum, permit the Issuer to terminate such agreement (with the Hedge Counterparty bearing the costs of any replacement Hedge Agreement) if such Hedge Counterparty fails to do any of the following as and when applicable.

If any Xxxxx'x rating of the Hedge Counterparty (or its guarantor under the Hedge Agreement) is downgraded to

(i) the first trigger level or lower (but above the second trigger level), such Hedge Counterparty must provide Hedge Counterparty Credit Support or, at its own cost, assign the Hedge Agreement to a Hedge Counterparty that meets the Required Hedge Counterparty Rating of Moody's within 30 days; and

(ii) the second trigger level or lower, or if the rating of the Hedge Counterparty (or its guarantor under the Hedge Agreement) is withdrawn, such Hedge Counterparty must, at its own cost, assign the Hedge Agreement to a Hedge Counterparty and if such assignment has not been accomplished within 30 days, provide Hedge Counterparty Credit Support pending such assignment.

Moody's Trigger Level	Short-term/long-term	Long-term (no short-term)
First	P-2/A3	A2
Second	P-3/Baa1	Baa1

(e) The Issuer shall give prompt notice to the Rating Agencies of any termination or amendment of a Hedge Agreement or agreement to provide Hedge Counterparty Credit Support. Any collateral received from a Hedge Counterparty under a Hedge Agreement shall be deposited in the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account.

(f) If a Hedge Counterparty has defaulted in the payment when due of its obligations to the Issuer under the Hedge Agreement, promptly after an Authorized Officer becomes aware thereof the Collateral Manager shall make a demand on the Hedge Counterparty (or its guarantor under the Hedge Agreement) with a copy to the Trustee, demanding payment by the close of business on such date (or by such time on the next succeeding Business Day if such knowledge is obtained after 11:30 a.m., New York time).

(g) Each Hedge Agreement shall provide that it may not be terminated due to the occurrence of an Event of Default until liquidation of the Collateral has commenced.

DIVERSITY SCORE CALCULATION

The Diversity Score is calculated as follows:

(a) An "Issuer Par Amount" is calculated for each issuer of a Collateral Obligation, and is equal to the Aggregate Principal Balance of all the Collateral Obligations issued by that issuer and all affiliates.

(b) An "Average Par Amount" is calculated by summing the Issuer Par Amounts for all issuers, and dividing by the number of issuers.

(c) An "Equivalent Unit Score" is calculated for each issuer, and is equal to the lesser of (x) one and (y) the Issuer Par Amount for such issuer divided by the Average Par Amount.

(d) An "Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score" is then calculated for each of the Moody's Industry Classifications, shown on Schedule 1, and is equal to the sum of the Equivalent Unit Scores for each issuer in such industry classification group.

(e) An "Industry Diversity Score" is then established for each Moody's Industry Classification, shown on Schedule 1, by reference to the following table for the related Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score; provided that if any Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score falls between any two such scores, the applicable Industry Diversity Score shall be the lower of the two Industry Diversity Scores:

SCHEDULE 4

XXXXX'X RATING DEFINITIONS

MOODY'S DEFAULT PROBABILITY RATING

(a) if the obligor of such Collateral Obligation has a CFR, then such CFR;

(b) if not determined pursuant to clause (a) above, if the obligor of such Collateral Obligation has one or more senior unsecured obligations with an Assigned Xxxxx'x Rating, then the Assigned Xxxxx'x Rating on any such senior unsecured obligation as selected by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion;

(c) if not determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, if the obligor of such Collateral Obligation has one or more senior secured obligations with an Assigned Xxxxx'x Rating, then the Xxxxx'x rating that is one subcategory lower than the Assigned Xxxxx'x Rating on any such obligation as selected by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion;

(d) if not determined pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c) above, if a rating or rating estimate has been assigned to such Collateral Obligation by Moody's upon the request of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager, such rating or, in the case of a rating estimate, the applicable rating estimate for such obligation so long as such rating estimate or a renewal for such rating estimate has been issued or provided by Moody's, in each case, within the 15 month period preceding the date on which a Moody's Default Probability Rating is determined; provided that if such rating estimate has been issued or provided by Moody's more than 13 months prior to the date on which a Moody's Default Probability Rating is determined, then the Xxxxx'x rating that is one subcategory lower than such rating estimate;

(e) if not determined pursuant clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) above and at the election of the Collateral Manager, the Moody's Derived Rating; and

(f) if not determined pursuant to clause (a) through (e) above, "Caa3";

provided that notwithstanding the methodology above, if a Collateral Obligation is a DIP Collateral Obligation, the Moody's Default Probability Rating will be the rating that is one subcategory below the Assigned Xxxxx'x Rating of such DIP Collateral Obligation; provided further, that, each applicable rating, at the time of calculation, (i) on credit watch by Moody's with positive implications will be treated as having been upgraded by one rating subcategory, and (ii) on credit watch by Moody's with negative implications will be treated as having been downgraded by one rating subcategory.

"CFR" means, with respect to the obligor of any Collateral Obligation, the corporate family rating assigned to such obligor by Moody's; provided that if the obligor of any Collateral Obligation does not have a corporate family rating by Moody's but another entity in such obligor's corporate family does have a corporate family rating by Moody's, then the corporate family rating of such other entity will be the CFR for the obligor of such Collateral Obligation.

MOODY'S DERIVED RATING

With respect to a Collateral Obligation whose Xxxxx'x Rating or Moody's Default Probability Rating cannot otherwise be determined pursuant to the definitions thereof, such Xxxxx'x Rating or Moody's Default Probability Rating as determined in the manner set forth below:

(a) If such Collateral Obligation is not rated by Moody's and no other security or obligation of the issuer of such Collateral Obligation is rated by Moody's, and if Moody's has been requested by the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the issuer of such Collateral Obligation to assign a rating or rating estimate with respect to such Collateral Obligation but such rating or rating estimate has not been received, pending receipt of such estimate, the Moody's Derived Rating of such Collateral Obligation for purposes of the definitions of Xxxxx'x Rating or Moody's Default Probability Rating of such Collateral Obligation shall be (i) "B3" if the Collateral Manager certifies to the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator that the Collateral Manager believes that such estimate shall be at least "B3" and if the Aggregate Principal Balance of Collateral Obligations determined pursuant to this clause (a)(i) does not exceed 5% of the Collateral Principal Amount or (ii) otherwise "Caa;"

(b) If not determined pursuant to clause (a) above, by using one of the methods provided below:

(i) if such Collateral Obligation has a public and monitored rating by S&P, pursuant to the table below:

Type of Collateral Obligation	S&P Rating (Public and Monitored)	Collateral Obligation Rated by S&P	Number of Subcategories Relative to Moody's Equivalent of S&P Rating
Not Structured Finance Obligation	≥ "BBB-"	Not a Loan or Participation Interest in Loan	-1
Not Structured Finance Obligation	≤" BB+"	Not a Loan or Participation Interest in Loan	-2
Not Structured Finance Obligation	N/A	Loan or Participation Interest in Loan	-2

-2-

(ii) if such Collateral Obligation is not rated by S&P but another security or obligation of the obligor has a public and monitored rating by S&P (a "parallel security"), then the rating of such parallel security will at the election of the Collateral Manager be determined in accordance with the table set forth in subclause (b)(i) above, and the Moody's Derived Rating for purposes of the definitions of Xxxxx'x Rating and Moody's Default Probability Rating (as applicable) of such Collateral Obligation will be determined in accordance with the methodology set forth in the following table (for such purposes treating the parallel security as if it were rated by Moody's at the rating determined pursuant to this subclause (b)(ii)):

Obligation Category of Rated Obligation	Rating of Rated Obligation	Number of Subcategories Relative to Rated Obligation Rating
Senior secured obligation	greater than or equal to X0	-0
Senior secured obligation	less than B2	-2
Subordinated obligation	greater than or equal to B3	+1
Subordinated obligation	less than B3	0

(iii) if such Collateral Obligation is a DIP Collateral Obligation, no Moody's Derived Rating may be determined based on a rating by S&P or any other rating agency;

provided, that the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Collateral Obligations that may have a Xxxxx'x Rating derived from an S&P rating as set forth in sub-clauses (i) or (ii) of this clause (b) may not exceed 10% of the Collateral Principal Amount.

For purposes of calculating a Moody's Derived Rating, each applicable rating, at the time of calculation, (i) on credit watch by Moody's with positive implications will be treated as having been upgraded by one rating subcategory and (ii) on credit watch by Xxxxx'x with negative implications will be treated as having been downgraded by one rating subcategory.

XXXXX'X SENIOR SECURED LOAN

(1) A loan that:

First, is not (and cannot by its terms become) subordinate in right of payment to any other debt obligation of the Obligor of the loan;

Second, (x) is secured by a valid first priority perfected security interest or lien in, to or on specified collateral securing the Obligor's obligations under the loan and (y) such specified collateral does not consist entirely of equity securities or common stock; provided that any loan that would be considered a Moody's Senior Secured Loan but for clause (y) above shall be considered a Xxxxx'x Senior Secured Loan if it is a loan made to a parent entity and as to which the Collateral Manager determines in good faith that the value of the common stock of the subsidiary (or other equity interests in the subsidiary) securing such loan at or about the time of acquisition of such loan by the Issuer has a value that is at least equal to the outstanding principal balance of such loan and the outstanding principal balances of any other obligations of such parent entity that are pari passu with such loan, which value may include, among other things, the enterprise value of such subsidiary of such parent entity; and

Third, the value of the collateral securing the loan together with other attributes of the Obligor (including, without limitation, its general financial condition, ability to generate cash flow available for debt service and other demands for that cash flow) is adequate (in the commercially reasonable judgment of the Collateral Manager) to repay the loan in accordance with its terms and to repay all other loans of equal seniority secured by a first lien or security interest in the same collateral; and

(2) the loan is not:

First, a DIP Collateral Obligation; or

Second, a loan for which the security interest or lien (or the validity or effectiveness thereof) in substantially all of its collateral attaches, becomes effective, or otherwise "springs" into existence after the origination thereof.

-3-

SCHEDULE 5

FITCH RATING DEFINITIONS

"Fitch Rating": As of any date of determination, the Fitch Rating of any Collateral Obligation will be determined as follows:

(a)

if Fitch has issued an issuer default rating with respect to the issuer of such Collateral Obligation, or the guarantor which unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees such Collateral Obligation, then the Fitch Rating will be such issuer default rating (regardless of whether there is a published rating by Fitch on the Collateral Obligations of such issuer held by the Issuer);

(b)

if Fitch has not issued an issuer default rating with respect to the issuer or guarantor of such Collateral Obligation but Fitch has issued an outstanding long-term financial strength rating with respect to such issuer, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be one sub-category below such rating;

(c)

if a Fitch Rating cannot be determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b), but

(i)

Fitch has issued a senior unsecured rating on any obligation or security of the issuer of such Collateral Obligation, then the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will equal such rating; or

(ii)

Fitch has not issued a senior unsecured rating on any obligation or security of the issuer of such Collateral Obligation but Fitch has issued a senior rating, senior secured rating or a subordinated secured rating on any obligation or security of the issuer of such Collateral Obligation, then the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will (x) equal such rating if such rating is "BBB-" or higher and (y) be one sub-category below such rating if such rating is "BB+" or lower; or

(iii)

Fitch has not issued a senior unsecured rating or a senior rating, senior secured rating or a subordinated secured rating on any obligation or security of the issuer of such Collateral Obligation but Fitch has issued a subordinated, junior subordinated or senior subordinated rating on any obligation or security of the issuer of such Collateral Obligation, then the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be (x) one sub-category above such rating if such rating is "B+" or higher and (y) two sub-categories above such rating if such rating is "B" or lower;

(d)

if a Fitch Rating cannot be determined pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c) and

(i)

Moody's has issued a publicly available corporate family rating for the issuer of such Collateral Obligation, then, subject to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be the Fitch equivalent of such Xxxxx'x rating;

(ii)

Moody's has not issued a publicly available corporate family rating for the issuer of such Collateral Obligation but has issued a long-term issuer rating for such issuer, then, subject to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be the Fitch equivalent of such Xxxxx'x rating;

(iii)

Moody's has not issued a publicly available corporate family rating for the issuer of such Collateral Obligation but Moody's has issued an outstanding insurance financial strength rating for such issuer, then, subject to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be one sub-category below the Fitch equivalent of such Xxxxx'x rating;

(iv)

Moody's has not issued a publicly available corporate family rating for the issuer of such Collateral Obligation but has issued outstanding corporate issue ratings for such issuer, then, subject to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be (x) if such corporate issue rating relates to senior unsecured obligations of such issuer, the Fitch equivalent of the Xxxxx'x rating for such issue, if there is no such corporate issue ratings relating to senior unsecured obligations of the issuer then (y) if such corporate issue rating relates to senior, senior secured or subordinated secured obligations of such issuer, (1) one sub-category below the Fitch equivalent of such Xxxxx'x rating if such obligations are rated "Ba1" or above or "Ca" by Moody's or (2) two sub-categories below the Fitch equivalent of such Xxxxx'x rating if such obligations are rated "Ba2" or below but above "Ca" by Moody's, or if there is no such corporate issue ratings relating to senior unsecured, senior, senior secured or subordinated secured obligations of the issuer then (z) if such corporate issue rating relates to subordinated, junior subordinated or senior subordinated obligations of such issuer, (1) one sub-category above the Fitch equivalent of such Xxxxx'x rating if such obligations are rated "B1" or above by Moody's or (2) two sub-categories above the Fitch equivalent of such Xxxxx'x rating if such obligations are rated "B2" or below by Moody's;

(v)

S&P has issued a publicly available issuer credit rating for the issuer of such Collateral Obligation, then, subject to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be the Fitch equivalent of such S&P rating;

(vi)

S&P has not issued a publicly available issuer credit rating for the issuer of such Collateral Obligation but S&P has issued an outstanding insurance financial strength rating for such issuer, then, subject to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be one sub-category below the Fitch equivalent of such S&P rating;

(vii)

S&P has not issued a publicly available issuer credit rating for the issuer of such Collateral Obligation but has issued outstanding corporate issue ratings for such issuer, then, subject to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be (x) if such corporate issue rating relates to senior unsecured obligations of such issuer, the Fitch equivalent of the S&P rating for such issue, if there is no such corporate issue ratings relating to senior unsecured obligations of the issuer then (y) if such corporate issue rating relates to senior, senior secured or subordinated secured obligations of such issuer, (1) the Fitch equivalent of such S&P rating if such obligations are rated "BBB-" or above by S&P or (2) one sub-category below the Fitch equivalent of such S&P rating if such obligations are rated "BB+" or below by S&P, or if there is no such corporate issue ratings relating to senior unsecured, senior, senior secured or subordinated secured obligations of the issuer then (z) if such corporate issue rating relates to subordinated, junior subordinated or senior subordinated obligations of such issuer, (1) one sub-category above the Fitch equivalent of such S&P rating if such obligations are rated "B+" or above by S&P or (2) two sub-categories above the Fitch equivalent of such S&P rating if such obligations are rated "B" or below by S&P; and

-2-

(viii)

both Xxxxx'x and S&P provide a public rating of the issuer of such Collateral Obligation or a corporate issue of such issuer, then the Fitch Rating will be the lowest of the Fitch Ratings determined pursuant to any of the subclauses of this clause (d).

(e)

if a rating cannot be determined pursuant to clauses (a) through (d) then, (i) at the discretion of the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may apply to Fitch for a Fitch credit opinion, and the issuer default rating provided in connection with such rating will then be the Fitch Rating, or (ii) the Issuer may assign a Fitch Rating of "CCC" or lower to such Collateral Obligation which is not in default;

provided, that after the Closing Date, if any rating described above is (i) on rating watch negative or negative credit watch, the rating will be adjusted down by one-sub-category, or (ii) on outlook negative, the rating will not be adjusted; provided, further, that the Fitch Rating may be updated by Fitch from time to time as indicated in the "Global Rating Criteria for CLOs and Corporate CDOs" report issued by Fitch and available at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. For the avoidance of doubt, the Fitch Rating takes into account adjustments for assets that are on rating watch negative or negative credit watch, as well as negative outlook prior to determining the issue rating or in the determination of the lower of the Xxxxx'x and S&P rating public ratings.

The following steps are used to calculate the Fitch IDR equivalent ratings:

(1)

Public or private Fitch-issued IDR.

(2)

If Fitch has not issued an IDR, but has an outstanding Long-Term Financial Strength Rating, then the IDR equivalent is one rating lower.

(3)

If Fitch has not issued an IDR, but has outstanding corporate issue ratings, then the IDR equivalent is calculated using the mapping in the table above.

(4)

If Fitch does not rate the issuer or any associated issuance, then determine a Xxxxx'x and S&P equivalent to Fitch's IDR pursuant to steps 5 and 6.

(5)

A public Xxxxx'x-issued Corporate Family Rating (CFR) is equivalent in definition terms to the Fitch IDR. If Xxxxx'x has not issued a CFR, but has an outstanding LT issuer Rating, then this is equivalent to the Fitch IDR.

(6)

If Xxxxx'x has not issued a CFR, but has an outstanding Insurance Financial Strength Rating, then the Fitch IDR equivalent is one rating lower.

(7)

If Xxxxx'x has not issued a CFR, but has outstanding corporate issue ratings, then the Fitch IDR equivalent is calculated using the mapping in the table above.

(8)

A public S&P-issued Issuer Credit Rating (ICR) is equivalent in terms of definition to the Fitch IDR.

(9)

If S&P has not issued an ICR, but has an outstanding Insurance Financial Strength Rating, then the Fitch IDR equivalent is one rating lower.

(10)

If S&P has not issued an ICR, but has outstanding corporate issue ratings, then the Fitch IDR equivalent is calculated using the mapping in the table above.

If both Xxxxx'x and S&P provide a public rating on the issuer or an issue, the lower of the two Fitch IDR equivalent ratings will be used in PCM. Otherwise the sole public Fitch IDR equivalent rating from Xxxxx'x or S&P will be applied.

ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder are technical. Accordingly, if you have any question regarding whether you may be an entity described in this Question 2, you should consult with your counsel.

EXH. B6-2

Not Subject to Similar Law and No Violation of Other Plan Law. If the investor is a governmental, church, non-U.S. or other plan, the investor represents, warrants and agrees that (a) it is not, and for so long as it holds the [Class E Notes] [Subordinated Notes] or any interest therein, will not be, subject to any federal, state, local or non-U.S. law or regulation that could cause the underlying assets of the Issuer to be treated as assets of the investor by virtue of its interest in such [Class E Notes] [Subordinated Notes] and thereby subject the Issuer and the Collateral Manager (or other persons responsible for the investment and operation of the Issuer’s assets) to laws or regulations that are substantially similar to the fiduciary responsibility or prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and (b) its acquisition, holding and disposition of the [Class E Notes] [Subordinated Notes] does not and will not constitute or give rise to a non-exempt violation of any applicable other federal, state, local, or non-U.S. law or regulation that is substantially similar to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

Compelled Disposition. The investor acknowledges and agrees that:

(i)

if any representation that the investor made hereunder is subsequently shown to be false or misleading or its beneficial ownership otherwise causes a violation of the 25% Limitation (in any such case the investor becomes a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder), the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer shall, promptly after discovery that such person is a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Trustee (and notice to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, by the Trustee if a Trust Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge or by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer if it makes the discovery), send notice to such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder transfer its interest in the Notes held by such person to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder within 10 days of the date of such notice;

(ii)

if the investor fails to transfer its [Class E Notes] [Subordinated Notes], the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the investor, to sell its [Class E Notes] [Subordinated Notes] or its interest in the [Class E Notes] [Subordinated Notes], to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose;

(v)

the proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the investor; and

(vi)

the terms and conditions of any sale under this sub-section shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and none of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee or the Collateral Manager shall be liable to the investor as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

CALCULATION OF LIBOR

"LIBOR" with respect to the Secured Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes or any interest accruing on any Management Fee, for any Interest Accrual Period will equal (a) the rate appearing on the Reuters Screen for deposits with a term of three months (or if at any time the rate for LIBOR with a term of three months is not available, LIBOR will be determined by interpolating between the rate for the next shorter period of time for which rates are available and the rate for the next longer period of time for which rates are available and all interpolation between rates will be linear and rounded to five decimal places); provided that LIBOR for the first Interest Accrual Period shall equal the rate determined by interpolating linearly between the rate appearing on the Reuters Screen for deposits with a term of 3 months and the rate appearing on the Reuters Screen for deposits with a term of 6 months or (b) if such rate is unavailable at the time LIBOR is to be determined, LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. Dollars are offered by four major banks in the London market selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Collateral Manager (the "Reference Banks") at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Interest Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period approximately equal to the Interest Accrual Period and an amount approximately equal to the amount of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Secured Notes or the Senior Subordinated Notes, as applicable. The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each Reference Bank to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of such quotations (rounded upward to the next higher 1/100). If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, LIBOR with respect to such Interest Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by three major banks in New York, New York selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Collateral Manager at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York Time, on such Interest Determination Date for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for a term approximately equal to such Interest Accrual Period and an amount approximately equal to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Secured Notes or Senior Subordinated Notes, as applicable. If the Calculation Agent is required but is unable to determine a rate in accordance with at least one of the procedures described above, LIBOR will be LIBOR as determined on the previous Interest Determination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LIBOR with respect to the Secured Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes for any Interest Accrual Period will equal the greater of (x) LIBOR as determined pursuant to this definition and (y) 0.00% per annum.

"Reuters Screen" means the rates for deposits in dollars which appear on the Reuters Screen LIBOR 01 (or such other page that may replace that page on such service for the purpose of displaying comparable rates) on the by Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News (or its successor) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Interest Determination Date.
