(b) the S&P Rating may be based on a credit estimate provided by S&P, and in connection therewith, the Issuer, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer or the issuer of such Collateral Obligation shall, prior to or within 30 days after the acquisition of such Collateral Obligation, apply (and concurrently submit all available Information in respect of such application) to S&P for a credit estimate which shall be its S&P Rating; provided that, if such Information is submitted within such 30-day period, then, pending receipt from S&P of such estimate, such Collateral Obligation shall have an S&P Rating as determined by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion if the Collateral Manager certifies to the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator that it believes that such S&P Rating determined by the Collateral Manager is commercially reasonable and will be at least equal to such rating; provided, further, that if such Information is not submitted within such 30-day period, then, pending receipt from S&P of such estimate, the Collateral Obligation shall have (1) the S&P Rating as determined by the Collateral Manager for a period of up to 90 days after the acquisition of such Collateral Obligation and (2) an S&P Rating of “CCC-” following such 90-day period; unless, during such 90-day period, the Collateral Manager has requested the extension of such period and S&P, in its sole discretion, has granted such request; provided, further, that if such 90-day period (or other extended period) elapses pending S&P’s decision with respect to such application, the S&P Rating of such Collateral Obligation shall be “CCC-”; provided, further, that if the Collateral Obligation has had a public rating by S&P that S&P has withdrawn or suspended within six months prior to the date of such application for a credit estimate in respect of such Collateral Obligation, the S&P Rating in respect thereof shall be “CCC-” pending receipt from S&P of such estimate, and S&P may elect not to provide such estimate until a period of six months have elapsed after the withdrawal or suspension of the public rating; provided, further that such credit estimate shall expire 12 months after the acquisition of such Collateral Obligation, following which such Collateral Obligation shall have an S&P Rating of “CCC-” unless, during such 12-month period, the Issuer applies for renewal thereof in accordance with the terms of Section 7.25(b), in which case such credit estimate shall continue to be the S&P Rating of such Collateral Obligation until S&P has confirmed or revised such credit estimate, upon which such confirmed or revised credit estimate shall be the S&P Rating of such Collateral Obligation; provided, further, that such confirmed or revised credit estimate shall expire on the next succeeding 12-month anniversary of the date of the acquisition of such Collateral Obligation and (when renewed annually in accordance with Section 7.25(b)) on each 12-month anniversary thereafter;

(c) with respect to a Collateral Obligation that is not a Defaulted Obligation, the S&P Rating of such Collateral Obligation will at the election of the Issuer (at the direction of the Collateral Manager) be “CCC”; provided that (i) neither the issuer of such Collateral Obligation nor any of its Affiliates are subject to any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings and (ii) the

issuer has not defaulted on any payment obligation in respect of any debt security or other obligation of the issuer at any time within the two year period ending on such date of determination, all such debt securities and other obligations of the issuer that are pari passu with or senior to the Collateral Obligation are current and the Collateral Manager reasonably expects them to remain current; or

(d) if such Collateral Obligation is not rated by Xxxxx’x but a security with a pari passu ranking (a “parallel security”) has a published rating (and not a credit estimate) by Xxxxx’x then the S&P Rating of such pari passu ranking parallel security will be determined in accordance with the methodology set forth in subclause (a) above, as applicable, and such rating will be used for such Collateral Obligation;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee, or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Class A Note.

Section 2.4 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

The Class A Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by one of the Authorized Officers of the Issuer. The signature of such Authorized Officer on the Class A Notes may be manual or facsimile.

Class A Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the 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 Class A Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of issuance of such Class A Notes.

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

Each Class A Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent to or upon Issuer Order on the Closing Date shall be dated as of the Closing Date. All other Class A Notes that are authenticated after the Closing Date for any other purpose under this Indenture shall be dated the date of their authentication.

Class A Notes issued upon transfer, exchange or replacement of other Class A Notes shall be issued in authorized denominations, if applicable, reflecting the original aggregate principal amount or notional amount, as the case may be, of the Class A Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced, but shall represent only the current Outstanding principal amount or notional amount, as the case may be, of the Class A Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced. In the event that any Class A Note is divided into more than one Class A Note in accordance with this Article II, the original principal amount or notional amount, as the case may be, of such Class A Note shall be proportionately divided among the Class A Notes delivered in exchange therefor and shall be deemed to be the original aggregate principal amount or notional amount, as the case may be, of such subsequently issued Class A Notes.

No Class A Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Class A 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 signatories, and such certificate upon any Class A Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Class A Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.5 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

(a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept the Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Class A Notes (including the identity of the Holder and the outstanding principal amounts or outstanding notional amounts, as the case may be, on the Class A Note, which amounts shall include the amounts of any Increases under Section 2.13) and the registration of all assignments and transfers of Class A Notes. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as agent of the Issuer to act as “Registrar” for the purpose of registering and recording in the Register the Class A Notes and assignments and transfers of such Class A Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation or removal of the Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor.

If a Person other than the Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Registrar, the Issuer will give the Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of a Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Registrar, 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 Class A Notes and the principal amounts or notional amounts, as the case may be, of such Class A Notes.

Subject to this Section 2.5, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Class A Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 7.4, the surrendered Class A Notes shall be returned to the Issuer marked “canceled,” or retained by the Trustee in accordance with its standard retention policy and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, upon Issuer Order, shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Class A Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount or notional amount, as the case may be.

The Issuer or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, will notify the Trustee in writing of any Class A Note beneficially owned by or pledged to the Issuer or the Collateral Manager or any of their respective Affiliates promptly upon its knowledge of the acquisition thereof or the creation of such pledge.

All Class A Notes issued and authenticated upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Class A Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Class A Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

A Class A Note, and the rights to payments evidenced thereby, may be assigned or otherwise transferred in whole or in part pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.5 only by the registration of such assignment and transfer of such Class A Note (and each Class A Note shall so expressly provide on the Register). No transfer of a Class A Note shall be effective unless such transfer shall have been recorded in the Register by the Registrar as provided in this Section 2.5. Any assignment or transfer of all or part of such Class A Note shall be registered on the Register only upon presentment or surrender for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. The Registrar may request evidence reasonably satisfactory to it proving the identity of the transferee or the transferor or the authenticity of their signatures. Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Class A Note and in the absence of manifest error, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Registrar shall treat the Person in whose name such Class A Note is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments or distribution thereon as the case may be, and subject to the provision of Section 2.8 hereof, for all other purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any exchange of Class A Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Class A Notes.

The Issuer shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Class A Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Class A Notes to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Class A Note so selected for redemption.

(b) No Class A Note may be sold or transferred (including, by pledge or hypothecation) unless such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and is exempt under applicable state securities laws.

(c) For so long as any of the Class A Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer shall issue or permit the transfer of any equity of the Issuer only to Persons that are both U.S. Persons and United States Persons within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.

(d) During the Initial Investment Period, no Class A Note may be sold or transferred (including, by pledge or hypothecation) to an Affected Bank.

(e) Upon final payment due on the Maturity of a Class A Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Class A Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the office of any Paying Agent on or prior to such Maturity; provided, however, that if there is delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee 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 Issuer or the Trustee that the applicable Class A Note has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender.

(f) (i) Definitive Notes. In the event that a Global Note is exchanged for the Class A Notes in definitive registered form without interest coupons, pursuant to Section 2.10 such Class A Note may be exchanged for another only in accordance with such procedures and restrictions as are substantially consistent as determined by the Issuer to insure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or another exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act.

(ii) [Reserved].

(iii) Restrictions on Transfers. Transfers of interests in a Rule 144A Global Class A Note to a Non-Permitted Holder shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose hereunder, and the Trustee, upon a Trust Officer obtaining actual knowledge of such transfer, to the extent it obtains possession of any funds conveyed by the intended transferee of such interest in such Rule 144A Global Class A Note for the transferor, shall promptly reconvey such funds to such Person in accordance with the written instructions thereof delivered to the Trustee at its address listed in Section 14.3.

(g) Each Holder of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Class A Note will be deemed to have represented and agreed with the Issuer as follows:

(i) (A) The Holder is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser, (B) the Holder is purchasing the Class A Notes for its own account or the account of another Qualified Purchaser that is also a Qualified Institutional Buyer as to which the Holder exercises sole investment discretion, (C) the Holder and any such account is acquiring the Class A Notes as principal for its own account for investment and not for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, (D) the Holder and any such account was not formed solely for the purpose of investing in the Class A Notes (except when each beneficial owner of the Holder or any such account is a Qualified Purchaser), (E) to the extent the Holder (or any account for which it is purchasing the Class A Notes) is a private investment company formed on or before April 30, 1996, the Holder and each such account has received the necessary consent from its beneficial owners, (F) the Holder is not a broker-dealer that owns and invests on a discretionary basis less than $25,000,000 in securities of unaffiliated issuers, (G) the Holder is not a pension, profit-sharing or other retirement trust fund or plan in which the partners, beneficiaries or participants or affiliates may designate the particular investment to be made, (H) the Holder agrees that it and each such account shall not hold such Class A Notes for the benefit of any other Person and shall be the sole beneficial owner thereof for all purposes and that it shall not sell participation interests in the Class A Notes or enter into any other arrangement pursuant to which any other Person shall be entitled to a beneficial interest in the distributions on the Class A Notes (except when each beneficial owner of the Holder or any such account is a Qualified Purchaser), (I) the Class A Notes purchased directly or indirectly by the Holder or any account for which it is purchasing the Class A Notes constitute an investment of no more than 40% of the Holder’s and each such account’s assets (except when each beneficial owner of the Holder or any such account is a Qualified Purchaser), (J) the Holder and each such account is holding the Class A Notes in a principal amount of not less than the minimum denomination requirement for the Holder and each such account, (K) the Holder will provide notice of the transfer

restrictions set forth in this Indenture (including the exhibits hereto) to any transferee of its Class A Notes, (L) the Holder understands and agrees that the Issuer may receive a list of participants in the Class A Notes from one or more book-entry depositories and (M) the Holder understands and agrees that any purported transfer of the Class A Notes to a Holder that does not comply with the requirements of this subclause (i) shall be null and void ab initio.

(ii) If any Person that is not both (i) a Qualified Institutional Buyer and (ii) a Qualified Purchaser at the time it acquires an interest in a Class A Note or becomes the beneficial owner of any Class A 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 or the Trustee (and notice by the Trustee to the Issuer, if the Trustee makes the discovery), send notice to such Non-Permitted Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted Holder transfer its interest 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 transfer its Class A Notes, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such Class A Notes or interest in Class A Notes to a Holder selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer, an investment bank selected by the Issuer, or the Trustee at the written direction of the Issuer (and approved by the Collateral Manager) may select the Holder by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Class A Notes, and selling such Class A Notes to the highest such bidder. However, the Issuer or the Trustee, at the written direction of the Issuer, may select a Holder by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of each Class A 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 Class A Notes, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Trustee to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses, including fees of attorneys and agents, 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 paragraph shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and none of the Issuer, the Collateral Administrator, or the Trustee shall be liable to any Person having an interest in the Class A Notes sold as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion (including for the price of any such sale).

(iii) The Holder understands and agrees that the Class A Notes have not been and will not be registered or qualified under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and the sale of the Class A Notes to the Holder is being made in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and may be reoffered, resold or pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) to a Person whom the Holder reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer purchasing for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer as to which the Holder exercises sole investment discretion in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, and (B) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States. The Holder also understands that the Issuer and the Collateral have not been registered under the Investment Company Act and, therefore, no transfer having the effect of causing the Issuer or the Collateral to be required to be

registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act will be recognized. The Holder understands and agrees that any purported transfer of the Class A Notes to a Person that does not comply with the requirements of this subclause (iii) shall be null and void ab initio.

(iv) The Holder is not purchasing the Class A Notes with a view toward the resale, distribution or other disposition thereof in violation of the Securities Act. The Holder understands and agrees that an investment in the Class A Notes involves certain risks, including the risk of loss of its entire investment in the Class A Notes under certain circumstances. The Holder has had access to such financial and other information concerning the Issuer and the Class A Notes as it deemed necessary or appropriate in order to make an informed investment decision with respect to its purchase of the Class A Notes, including an opportunity to ask questions of, and request information from, the Issuer.

(v) In connection with the purchase of the Class A Notes: (A) none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager (except such representation is not made by Affiliates of the Collateral Manager that purchase any Class A Notes, with respect to the Collateral Manager), the Collateral Administrator or the Registrar (or any of their respective Affiliates) is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment adviser for the Holder; (B) the Holder is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether written or oral) of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager (except such representation is not made by Affiliates of the Collateral Manager that purchase any Class A Notes, with respect to the Collateral Manager), the Collateral Administrator or the Registrar (or any of their respective Affiliates) other than any representations expressly set forth in a written agreement with the Issuer and the Collateral Manager; (C) none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager (except such representation is not made by Affiliates of the Collateral Manager that purchase any Class A Notes, with respect to the Collateral Manager), the Collateral Administrator or the Registrar (or any of their respective Affiliates) has given to the Holder (directly or indirectly through any other Person) any assurance, guarantee, or representation whatsoever as to the expected or projected success, profitability, return, performance, result, effect, consequence or benefit (including legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) as to an investment in the Class A Notes; (D) the Holder has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisers to the extent it has deemed necessary, and it has made its own investment decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any transaction pursuant to this Indenture) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisers as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager (except such representation is not made by Affiliates of the Collateral Manager that purchase any Class A Notes, with respect to the Collateral Manager), the Collateral Administrator or the Registrar (or any of their respective Affiliates); (E) the Holder has evaluated the terms and conditions of the purchase and sale of the Class A Notes with a full understanding of all of the risks thereof (economic and otherwise), and it is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise) those risks; (F) the Holder is a sophisticated investor; and (G) if acquiring the Class A Notes for any account, the Holder has not made any disclosure, assurance, guarantee or representation not consistent with the provisions and the requirements contained herein.

(vi) By acquiring a Class A Note (or interest therein), each purchaser and transferee (and, if the purchaser or transferee is an employee benefit plan or other plan, its fiduciary) shall be deemed to represent and warrant that (i) it is not acquiring the Class A Note (or interest therein) with the assets of a Benefit Plan Investor, (ii) if the purchaser or transferee is a governmental plan or church plan, its acquisition and holding of the Class A Note (or interest therein) will not give rise to a nonexempt violation of any state, local or other law that is similar to the fiduciary and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and (iii) if the purchaser or transferee is acquiring the Class A Note during the Initial Investment Period, such purchaser or transferee is not an Affected Bank. Any purported transfer of a Class A Note (or interest therein) to a purchaser or transferee that does not comply with the applicable requirements of this restriction shall be null and void ab initio.

(vii) The Rule 144A Global Class A Notes will bear the legend set forth in Exhibit A.

(viii) The purchaser understands that Executive Orders issued by the President of the United States of America, Federal regulations administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and other federal laws prohibit, among other things, U.S. persons or persons under the jurisdiction of the United States from engaging in certain transactions with certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals, and that the lists of prohibited countries, territories, entities and individuals can be found on, among other places, the OFAC website at xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxx. Neither the purchaser nor any of its Affiliates, owners, directors or officers is, or is acting on behalf of, a country, territory, entity or individual named on such lists, nor is the purchaser or any of its Affiliates, owners, directors or officers a natural person or entity with whom dealings are prohibited under any OFAC regulation or other applicable federal law or acting on behalf of such a natural person or entity.

(h) Notwithstanding a request made to remove the legend on any Class A Note or any legend pursuant to Section 4(1) of the Securities Act from any of the Class A Notes, such Class A Notes shall bear the applicable legend, and the applicable legend shall not be removed, unless there is delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Issuer, as may be reasonably required by the Issuer to the effect that neither the applicable legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Section 4(1) of the Securities Act, as applicable, and the Investment Company Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, shall authenticate and deliver the Class A Notes that do not bear such legend.

(i) Any transfer of a Class A Note in definitive registered form to a Person that is not a Qualified Purchaser shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose hereunder, and the Trustee shall hold any funds conveyed by the intended transferee of such definitive registered Class A Note for the transferor and shall promptly reconvey such funds to such Person in accordance with the written instructions thereof delivered to the Trustee at its address listed in Section 14.3.

(j) Any purported transfer of a Class A Note or any shares of the Issuer not in accordance with this Section 2.5 shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose hereunder.

(k) Nothing in this Section 2.5 shall be construed to limit any contractual restrictions on transfers of Class A Notes or interests therein that may apply to any Person.

(l) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Note remains Outstanding and is held by or on behalf of DTC, transfers of a Global Note, in whole or in part, shall (i) only be made accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.5 and (ii) shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to nominees of DTC or to a successor of DTC or such successor’s nominee.

(m) If a Global Note is exchanged for a Class A Note in definitive registered form, without interest coupons, pursuant to Section 2.10, such Global Note may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures and restrictions as are substantially consistent as determined by the Issuer to insure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or another exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act.

(n) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with the registration provisions of or any exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction, ERISA, the USA Patriot Act, the Code or the Investment Company Act; provided, that if a certificate is specifically required by the express terms of Section 2.4 or this Section 2.5 to be delivered to the Trustee by a Holder or transferee of a Class A Note, the Trustee shall be under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether or not the certificate substantially conforms on its face to the requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if such certificate does not comply with such terms. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby acknowledged that the Trustee will not have the ability to monitor transfers of beneficial interests in Global Notes and will have no liability for such transfers in violation of the transfer restrictions described herein.

Section 2.6 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Class A Notes.

If (i) any mutilated Class A Note is surrendered to a Transfer Agent, or if there shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Trustee and the relevant Transfer Agent evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Class A Note and (ii) there is delivered to the Issuer, the Trustee and such Transfer Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of written notice to the Issuer, a Trust Officer of the Trustee or such Transfer Agent that such Class A Note has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and, upon Issuer Request, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Class A Note, a new Class A Note of same tenor and principal amount or notional amount, as applicable, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If, after delivery of such new Class A Note, a Protected Purchaser of the predecessor Class A Note presents for payment, transfer or exchange such predecessor Class A Note, the Issuer, the Transfer Agent and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such new Class A Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer, the Trustee and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Class A Note has become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Class A Note pay such Class A Note without requiring surrender thereof except that any mutilated Class A Note shall be surrendered.

Upon the issuance of any new Class A Note under this Section 2.6, the Issuer, the Trustee or a Transfer Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Class A Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.6 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Class A Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, and such new Class A Note shall be entitled, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 2.6, to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Class A Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Class A Notes.

Section 2.7 Payment of Principal and Interest, Preservation of Rights.

(a) The Class A Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period at the Note Interest Rate specified in Section 2.3. Interest on the Class A Notes shall be due and payable on each Payment Date immediately following the related Interest Accrual Period.

(b) The principal of each Class A Note shall be due and payable on the Stated Maturity thereof unless the unpaid principal of such Class A Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise.

(c) Interest and principal due on any Payment Date on the Class A Notes shall be payable by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by the Holder thereof or its nominee or, if appropriate instructions are not received at least fifteen days prior to the relevant Payment Date, by Dollar check drawn on a bank in the United States of America. In the case of a check, such check shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at his address as it appears on the Register and, in the case of a wire transfer, such wire transfer shall be sent in accordance with written instructions provided by such Person. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of a Class A Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Class A Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the office of any Paying Agent on or prior to such Maturity; provided, however, that if there is delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee 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 Issuer or the Trustee that the applicable Class A Note has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. In the case where any final payment of principal and interest is to be made on any Class A Note (other than at the Stated Maturity thereof) the Issuer or, upon Issuer Request, the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer shall, not more than 30 nor less than 10 days (or not less than 3 days, in the case of a distribution pursuant to Section 5.7) prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, mail to the Persons entitled thereto at their addresses appearing on the Register, a notice which shall state the date on which such payment will be made, the amount of such payment per $100,000 initial principal amount of Class A Notes and shall specify the place where such Class A Notes may be presented and surrendered for such payment.

(d) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.7(a) and (b) and Section 5.9, the Holders of the Class A Notes as of the Regular Record Date in respect of a Payment Date shall be entitled to the interest accrued and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the principal payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments on such Payment Date. All such payments that are mailed or wired and returned to the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the office of any Paying Agent shall be held for payment as herein provided at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 7.4.

(e) Interest on any Class A Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Class A Note (or one or more predecessor Class A Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. Payments of principal to Holders of Class A Notes shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes registered in the name of each such Holder on such Regular Record Date or Redemption Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Class A Notes on such Regular Record Date or Redemption Record Date.

(f) (i) Subject to Section 2.7(a), following any Payment Date giving rise to any Defaulted Interest with respect to the Class A Notes, the Trustee shall make payment of such Defaulted Interest and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon on such date that is not more than three Business Days after sufficient funds are available therefor in the Interest Collection Account (a “Special Payment Date”). The special record date (a “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest shall be one Business Day prior to the Special Payment Date as fixed by the Trustee. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer, the Paying Agent and the applicable Holders of the Class A Notes of such Special Payment Date and the Special Record Date at least two Business Days prior to the Special Payment Date. Defaulted Interest shall be paid on such Special Payment Date based on the principal amount Outstanding to the Holders of the applicable Class A Notes as of the close of business on such Special Record Date in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 11.1(a)(A).

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of any Defaulted Interest may be made in any other lawful manner in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 11.1(a)(A) if notice of such payment is given by the Trustee to the Issuer and the Holders of the Class A Notes and such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

(g) Interest accrued with respect to the Class A Notes shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360, commencing on the Closing Date.

(h) All reductions in the principal amount of a Class A Note (or one or more predecessor Class A Note) effected by payments of installments of principal made on any day shall be binding upon all future Holders of such Class A Note and of any Class A 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 Class A Note.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Class A Notes are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer payable solely from the Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. After having realized the Collateral and distributed the net proceeds thereof in accordance with this Indenture, none of the Trustee, the Holders of the relevant Class A Notes nor any other Secured Party may take any further steps against the Issuer in respect of any sums still unpaid in respect of the relevant Class A Notes or any other obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and all obligations of and claims against either or both of the Issuer hereunder or under the Class A Notes or in connection herewith or therewith shall be extinguished and shall not revive. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of the Class A Notes against any agent, officer, manager, member, employee or incorporator of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or any successors or assigns thereof for any amounts payable under the Class A Notes or this Indenture. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (i) shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Class A Notes or secured by this Indenture, and the same shall continue until paid or discharged out of the Collateral or until the Collateral has been exhausted. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (i) shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any action or suit or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Class A 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.

(j) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, each Class A Note delivered under this Indenture and upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Class A Note shall carry the rights of unpaid interest and principal that were carried by such other Class A Note.

(k) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions with respect to payments of principal of and interest on the Class A Notes, if the Class A Notes have become or been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and such acceleration of Maturity and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, then payments of principal of and interest on such Class A Notes shall be made in accordance with Section 5.9.

Section 2.8 Persons Deemed Owners.

The Issuer, the Trustee, and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Class A Note is registered as the owner of such Class A Note on the Register on the applicable Regular Record Date, Redemption Record Date or Special Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal and interest on such Class A Note and on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever (whether or not such Class A Note is overdue), and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary; provided, however, that DTC, or its nominee, shall be deemed the owner of the Global Notes, and except as otherwise provided herein, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be considered the owners of any Class A Notes.

Section 2.9 Cancellation.

All Class A Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption, or deemed lost or stolen, shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. No Class A Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Class A Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 2.9, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Class A Notes held by the Trustee shall be destroyed or held by the Trustee in accordance with its standard retention policy unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be returned to the Issuer. No Class A Notes shall be cancelled except under the circumstances specified in this Section 2.9.

Section 2.10 Global Notes; Temporary Notes.

(a) A Global Note deposited with DTC pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof only if such transfer complies with Section 2.5 of this Indenture and either (i) DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or if at any time such depositary ceases to be a Clearing Agency and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice, or (ii) as a result of any amendment to or change in, the laws or regulations of the United States or of any authority therein or thereof having power to tax or in the interpretation or administration of such laws or regulations which become effective on or after the Closing Date, the Issuer or the Paying Agent becomes aware that it is or will be required to make any deduction or withholding from any payment in respect of the Class A Notes which would not be required if the Class A Notes were in definitive form. In addition, the owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note will be entitled to receive a Definitive Note in exchange for such interest if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b) Any Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be surrendered by DTC to the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office or its office or agent located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon Issuer Order, authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount or notional amount, as the case may be, of the Class A Notes, as applicable, of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Rule 144A Global Class A Note transferred pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be executed, authenticated

and delivered in denominations of $500,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. None of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Registrar nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such direction and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such registration directions. None of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Registrar nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of the Global Notes held by the Depository or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Any Class A Note delivered by the Trustee or its agent in exchange for an interest in a Rule 144A Global Class A Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.5(g), bear the legend set forth in Exhibit A.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(b) above, the registered 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 Class A Notes.

(d) Upon receipt of notice from DTC of the occurrence of either of the events specified in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.10 or upon the written request of any beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note following the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make arrangements with DTC for the exchange of interests in the Global Notes for Definitive Notes and cause the requested Definitive Notes to be executed and delivered to the Registrar in sufficient quantities and authenticated by or on behalf of the Trustee for delivery to Holders of the Global Notes. In the event that Definitive Notes are not so issued by the Issuer to such beneficial owners of interests in Global Notes, the Issuer expressly acknowledges that such beneficial owners shall be entitled to pursue any remedy that the Holders of a Global Notes 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 Notes) as if Definitive Notes had been issued.

Pending the preparation of certificates for such Class A Notes, pursuant to this Section 2.10, the Issuer may execute, and upon Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary certificates for such Class A Notes, that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise reproduced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Officers executing such temporary certificates may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such certificates.

If temporary certificates for Class A Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause such Class A Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. The definitive certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved, or provided by any combination thereof, or in any other manner permitted by the rules and regulations of any applicable securities exchange, all as determined by the Officers executing such definitive certificates. After the preparation of definitive certificates, the temporary certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive certificates upon surrender of the temporary certificates at the office or agency maintained by the Issuer for such purpose, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary certificates, the Issuer shall execute, and, upon Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor the same aggregate principal amount of definitive certificates of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive certificates.

Persons exchanging interests in a Global Note for individual definitive Class A Notes will be required to provide to the Trustee, through DTC, written instructions and other information required by the Issuer and the Trustee to complete, execute and deliver such individual definitive Class A Notes. In all cases, individual definitive Class A Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by DTC. None of the Issuer, the Registrar or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions as to the names of the beneficial owners in whose names such Class A Notes shall be registered or as to delivery instructions for such Class A Notes.

Section 2.11 No Gross Up. Neither the Equity Owner nor the Issuer shall be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Class A Notes to compensate for any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges required with respect to amounts payable under the Class A Notes.

Section 2.12 Class A Notes Beneficially Owned by Non-Permitted Holders.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture, any transfer of a beneficial interest in any Class A Notes to a Person that is not both a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser shall be null and void ab initio and any such purported transfer of which the Issuer or the Trustee shall have notice may be disregarded by the Issuer and the Trustee for all purposes.

Section 2.13 Increases on the Class A Notes.

(a) The Class A Notes will be issued on the Closing Date in initial aggregate principal amounts equal to the Class A Initial Principal Amount and may be increased from time to time up to the Class A Maximum Principal Amount subject to the terms and conditions herein. The Registrar will make a record of any such increase in principal amount of the Class A Notes in the Register.

(b) After the Closing Date and up to and including the Payment Date occurring in April 2013, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class A Notes may be increased up to the Class A Maximum Principal Amount (each such increase referred to as an “Increase”), in connection with the acquisition of Collateral Obligations permitted to be acquired hereunder or to be retained by the Issuer in anticipation of such acquisition; provided that an Issuer Order from the Collateral Manager substantially in the form of Exhibit G (an “Increase Request”) is delivered by, or on behalf of, the Issuer and received by the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall not submit an Increase Request, and no such requested Increase may occur, if the Increase requested thereby will cause the quotient of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes divided by Class A Par Value Numerator to exceed 63.6364%.

(c) The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class A Notes may be increased on any Business Day pursuant to subsection (b) above, only upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions with respect to each proposed Increase:

(i) The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Class A Notes may be increased no more than six times during the period from and excluding the Closing Date to and excluding the First Amendment Date. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Class A Notes shall be increased in any number of times on or after the First Amendment Date; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of all Increases during the period from the First Amendment Date through the Payment Date occurring in April 2012 shall not, in the aggregate, be less than $70,000,000.

(ii) The aggregate principal amount of any Increase on or prior to the Second Effective Date shall be in a minimum amount of $40,000,000 (and in integral multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof), unless the remaining aggregate principal amount of the Class A Notes available for an Increase is less than such minimum amount, then in the entire available amount of the Class A Notes.

(iii) No Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(iv) After giving effect to such Increase, the principal amount of each Class A Note shall not exceed the Class A Maximum Principal Amount.

(v) The Trustee shall have received an Increase Request substantially in the form of Exhibit G (i) specifying the aggregate principal amount of the Increase to be applied to each Class A Note and the effective date of such Increase and (ii) certifying that all conditions precedent to such Increase on such Business Day have been satisfied.

(vi) The prior written consent of the Majority of the Controlling Class with respect to such Increase has been provided to the Issuer.

(vii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if on the Payment Date occurring in April 2013 the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class A Notes is less than the Class A Maximum Principal Amount of the Class A Notes, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall request from the respective Holders of the Class A Notes an Increase in an amount equal to such remaining principal amount of the Class A Notes and thereafter, no further Increases shall be made hereunder.

(d) Upon receipt of the cash proceeds of such Increase by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Trustee shall deposit such proceeds in the Principal Collection Account and shall instruct the Registrar to make appropriate notations on the Register or on its books and records of the amount of such adjustment to the outstanding principal amounts of each of the Class A Notes as specified in the Increase Request delivered to the Trustee in connection with an Increase, and the Issuer hereby authorizes the Trustee to make such notations on the Register and on its books and records as aforesaid. Further, in accordance with DTC’s procedures, the Trustee, as Registrar, will credit or cause to be credited to the account of the relevant Holder a principal amount of such Class A Note equal to such Increase.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision of this Indenture (including without limitation Article XI), the Issuer, at the option of the Equity Owner, shall have the right to direct the Trustee (such direction to be given no later than the Business Day immediately following the receipt of the cash proceeds of the final Increase such that the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Class A Notes equals the Class A Maximum Principal Amount) to make a cash distribution from the cash proceeds of such Increase to the Equity Owner but only if, and only to the extent that, after giving effect to such cash distribution, (A) the Class A Par Value Numerator minus the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes shall not fall below $480,000,000, and (B) the aggregate Adjusted Collateral Amount of the Collateral, minus the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes shall not fall below $460,000,000; provided, for purposes of these calculations, any Collateral Obligation that was a Defaulted Obligation on the Second Amendment Date shall be deemed to have a Principal Balance of zero unless such Collateral Obligation ceases to meet the definition of a Defaulted Obligation prior to the Second Effective Date.

Section 2.14 Additional Issuances.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, at any time on or after the Second Amendment Date and before the end of the Reinvestment Period, the Issuer may issue and sell any one or more new classes of notes that are fully subordinated to the existing Class A Notes and use the proceeds to purchase or in exchange for additional Collateral Obligations or as otherwise permitted under this Indenture, provided that the following conditions are met:

(a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(g) or 5.1(h)), the Trustee may by notice to the Issuer or shall, at the written direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class by notice to the Issuer (and the Trustee shall in turn provide notice to the Holders of all Class A Notes then Outstanding) declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Class A 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. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(g) or (h) occurs, all unpaid principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of all the Class A Notes, and other amounts payable hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Noteholder.

(b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration of the Stated Maturity of the Class A Notes 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 has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay, and shall pay:

(A) all overdue installments of interest on and principal of the Class A Notes (other than amounts due solely as a result of such acceleration);

(B) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon any Defaulted Interest at the Note Interest Rate;

(C) all unpaid taxes and Administrative Expenses and other sums paid or advanced by the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator and their agents and counsel; and

(ii) the Trustee has determined that either (1) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the interest on or principal of Class A Notes that have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured and a Majority of the Controlling Class by written notice to the Trustee has agreed with such determination or (2) a Majority of the Controlling Class by written notice to the Trustee has waived such Event of Default as provided in Section 5.14.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Class A Notes have been declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, or at any time on or after the Stated Maturity of the Class A Notes, the Trustee may in

its discretion after written notice to the Holders of the Class A Notes and shall upon written direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class (subject to the terms hereof) proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Secured Parties by such appropriate Proceedings, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, as the Trustee shall reasonably deem most effective (if no direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class is received by the Trustee) or as the Trustee may be directed by a 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.

In case there shall be pending Proceedings relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Class A Notes under the Bankruptcy Code 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 or its property or such other obligor or its property, or in case of any other comparable Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Class A Notes, or the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, regardless of whether the principal of any Class A Notes 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:

(a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of each of the Class A Notes and, to file such other papers or documents and take such other actions as may be necessary, including sitting on a committee of creditors, 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 expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee) and of the Holders of Class A Notes allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Class A Notes or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor;

(b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of the Class A Notes in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency Proceedings or a 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 Holders of Class A Notes 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 Holders of Class A Notes to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Holders of Class A Notes, 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 its 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 Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Class A Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such Proceeding 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 Class A 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 Class A Notes.

Section 5.4 Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Class A Notes have been declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Issuer agrees that the Trustee may (and shall, subject to the terms hereof, upon written direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class), to the extent permitted by applicable law, exercise one or more of the following rights, privileges and remedies:

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

(ii) sell all or a portion of the Collateral or rights of interest 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 and provided such sale of all or a portion of the Collateral is at market prices obtained at public auction;

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

(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 Secured Parties hereunder; and

(v) to the extent not inconsistent with subclauses (i) through (iv), exercise any other rights and remedies that may be available at law or in equity;

provided, however, that the Trustee may not sell or liquidate the Collateral or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.4 unless any of the conditions specified in Section 5.5(a) is met or the preservation of the Collateral by the Trustee is prohibited by applicable law.

The Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion or advice of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation as to the feasibility and recommended manner 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 Collateral to make the required payments of principal and interest on the Class A Notes, which opinion shall be conclusive evidence as to such feasibility or sufficiency and the fees and expenses of any firm so retained shall be Administrative Expenses.

(b) If an Event of Default as described in Section 5.1(f) shall have occurred and be continuing the Trustee at the written request of the Holders of not less than 25% 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 Section 5.1(f), and enforce any equitable decree or order arising from such Proceeding.

(c) Upon any sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, any Secured Party, to the extent permitted by the UCC, may bid for and purchase the Collateral 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 may, in paying the purchase money, turn in 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 turned in by such Holder (taking into account any amounts payable prior to such Secured Party in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Article XIII). Said Class A Notes, in case the amounts so 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 Issuer, the Trustee and the Secured Parties, 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) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, neither the Trustee, in its own capacity, or on behalf of any Holder of Class A Notes, nor any Secured Parties may, prior to the date which is one year and one day (or, if longer, the applicable preference period) after the payment in full of all Class A Notes, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar laws. Subject to Section 2.7(i), 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 one year and one day (or longer) period in (A) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the 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 any of its properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceeding.

Section 5.5 Optional Preservation of Collateral.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and an acceleration has occurred, the Trustee shall retain the Collateral, collect and cause the collection of the proceeds thereof and make and apply all payments and deposits and maintain all accounts hereunder in accordance with the provisions of Article X, Article XI, Article XII and Article XIII unless:

(i) the Trustee determines (based upon information provided to it by the Collateral Manager in accordance with Section 5.5(c) or, if Cause has occurred under the Collateral Management Agreement, a Majority of the Controlling Class), and a Majority of the Controlling Class agree with such determination, that the anticipated proceeds of a sale or liquidation of the Collateral (after deducting the expenses of such sale or liquidation) would be sufficient to pay in full the sum of:

(A) the principal and accrued interest with respect to all the Outstanding Class A Notes; and

(B) all items prior to payments on the Outstanding Class A Notes pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(D); or

(ii) (1) with respect to an Event of Default other than an Event of Default under Section 5.1(i), a Majority of the Controlling Class, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, direct the sale and liquidation of the Collateral, or (2) with respect to an Event of Default under Section 5.1(i), 100% of the Controlling Class, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, direct the sale and liquidation of the Collateral.

(b) Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee to sell the Collateral if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5(a) are not satisfied. Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee to preserve the Collateral if prohibited by applicable law or if the Trustee is directed to liquidate the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(ii).

(c) In determining whether the conditions specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) are satisfied, the Trustee shall rely upon the bid prices obtained by the Collateral Manager (or if Cause has occurred under the Collateral Management Agreement, a Majority of the Controlling Class) with respect to each security and debt obligation contained in the Collateral from two nationally recognized dealers(or in the event that there is only one market maker, then the Collateral Manager (or a Majority of the Controlling Class, as applicable) shall obtain a bid price from that market maker), as specified by the Collateral Manager (or a Majority of the Controlling Class, as applicable) in writing, at the time making a market in such securities and debt obligations and shall compute the anticipated proceeds of sale or liquidation on the basis of the lower of such bid prices (or if only one bid price is received, on the basis of such bid price) for each such security

and debt obligation. In addition, in determining issues relating to whether the conditions specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) are satisfied and to the terms of a bid and sale, the Trustee may retain and rely on an opinion or advice of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation and their fees will be an Administrative Expense. So long as the Collateral Manager obtains bid prices from at least two nationally recognized dealers (unaffiliated with the Collateral Manager or its affiliates) for any security or debt obligation contained in the Collateral Portfolio, the Collateral Manager and its affiliates, subject to Section 12.3, will also be permitted to bid on such security or debt obligation and submit such bid to the Trustee.

(d) The Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Holders of the Class A Notes and the Collateral Manager a report stating the results of any determination required pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i). The Trustee shall make the determinations required by Section 5.5(a)(i) within 30 days after an Event of Default and acceleration which is continuing and at the request of a Majority of the Controlling Class at any time during which the Trustee retains the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i). In the case of each calculation made by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i), the Trustee shall, at the expense of the Issuer, obtain a letter of an Independent certified public accountant of national reputation confirming the mathematical accuracy of the computations of the Trustee and certifying their conformity to the requirements of this Indenture.

Section 5.6 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Class A Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Class A Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Class A Notes or the production thereof in any Proceeding relating thereto, and any such Proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as Trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the reasonable expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and its agents and attorneys in counsel, shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7.

Section 5.7 Application of Money Collected.

For the avoidance of doubt, any such application of money under this Indenture shall be made only in accordance with the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 11.1(a)(D) except to the extent provided otherwise in Section 13.1.

Section 5.8 Limitation on Suits.

No Noteholder 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 written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(b) except as otherwise provided in Section 5.9, the Holders of at least 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall have made a written request to the Trustee to institute Proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as the Trustee hereunder;

In addition, any action taken by any one or more Holders of Class A Notes shall be subject to the same restrictions imposed on the Trustee in accordance with Section 5.4(d).

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

Section 5.9 Unconditional Rights of Holders of Class A Notes to Receive Principal and Interest.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture (but subject to Section 2.7(i)), the Holder of any Class A Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Class A Note as such principal and interest become due and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments, except as provided otherwise in Section 13.1.

Section 5.10 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

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 of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

(a) constituting a Payment Default; or

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision for the individual protection or benefit of the Trustee, without its consent.

In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders 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 notice of any such waiver to the Collateral Manager.

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 Class A 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 for any action taken, or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, 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 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder of Class A Notes, or group of Holders of Class A Notes, holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of Class A Notes for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Class A Note on or after the Stated Maturity expressed in such Class A Note (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date).

Section 5.16 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

The Issuer covenants (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law 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 Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 5.17 Sale of Collateral.

(a) The power to effect any sale of any portion of the Collateral pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5 shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of such Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired (subject to Section 5.5(d) in the case of sales pursuant to Section 5.5) until the entire Collateral shall have been sold or all amounts secured by

the Collateral shall have been paid. The Trustee may and shall, upon written direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, from time to time postpone any sale. The Trustee hereby expressly waives its rights to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any sale; provided that the Trustee 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.

(b) The Trustee may bid for and acquire any portion of the Collateral in connection with a public sale thereof. 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.

(c) If any portion of the Collateral consists of Unregistered Securities, the Trustee may seek an Opinion of Counsel, or, if no such Opinion of Counsel can be obtained and with the 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.

(d) The Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest, without recourse, representation or warranty, in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a sale thereof. 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 Collateral in connection with a sale thereof, and to execute and deliver any instruments and take all action (whether in its name or in the name of the Issuer) 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.

Section 5.18 Action on the Class A Notes.

The Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Class A 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 Holders of the Class A Notes 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 Collateral or upon any of the assets of the Issuer.

ARTICLE VI.

THE TRUSTEE

Section 6.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default actually known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee:

(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, however, 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 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 (15) days after such notice from the Trustee, the Trustee shall so notify the Noteholders.

(b) In case an Event of Default actually known to a Trust Officer of 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, 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 Collateral Manager and/or a Majority (or such larger percentage as may be expressly required by the terms hereof) of the Controlling Class or any other required Classes relating to its obligations as set forth herein and 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, 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 its ordinary services, including mailing of notices under Article V under the Indenture; and

(v) in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage (including loss profits) even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of such action.

(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(e), 5.1(f) 5.1(g), 5.1(h), or 5.1(i), 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 is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Class A Notes generally, the Issuer, the Collateral 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 and Section 6.3.

Section 6.2 Notice of Default.

Promptly (and in no event later than three 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 transmit by mail or telecopy to the Collateral Manager and to all Holders of Class A Notes, as their names and addresses appear on the Register, notice of all Defaults hereunder actually known to a 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 protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, note or other paper or document (including the Valuation Report) reasonably 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 mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Request or Issuer Order, as the case may be;

(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 (ii) be required to determine the value of any Collateral or funds hereunder or the cashflows projected to be received therefrom, the Trustee may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely on reports, opinions or advice 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 or loan pricing 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 or to honor any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against all 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 documents, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may and, upon the written direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, shall 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 to receive, on reasonable prior notice to the Collateral Manager, copies of the books and records of the Collateral Manager relating to the Class A Notes and the Collateral, and on reasonable prior notice to the Issuer, to examine the books and records relating to the Class A Notes and the Collateral and the premises of the Issuer personally or by agent or attorney during the Issuer’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 or governmental authority and (ii) except 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 agent or 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 and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to Section 6.1(b), prudently believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers hereunder;

(i) for the avoidance of doubt, any permissive right or discretionary act of the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any actions enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and the Trustee shall not be responsible for other than its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct with respect to the performance of such act;

(j) the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy of the books or records of, or for any acts or omissions of, DTC, any Transfer Agent (other than the Bank acting in such capacity), Issuer Accounts Securities Intermediary (other than the Bank acting in such capacity), any Calculation Agent (other than the Trustee itself acting in such capacity) or any Paying Agent (other than the Bank acting in that capacity);

(k) 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;

(l) the Trustee shall not be liable for the actions or omissions of the Collateral Manager, and without limiting the foregoing, the Trustee shall not (except to the extent expressly provided in this Indenture) be under any obligation to monitor, evaluate or verify compliance by the Collateral Manager with the terms hereof or the Collateral Management Agreement, or to verify or independently determine the accuracy of information received by it from the Collateral Manager (or from any selling institution, agent bank, trustee or similar source) with respect to the Collateral and the Trustee shall have no additional duties following the resignation or removal of the Collateral Manager;

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

(n) the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of this Indenture or the powers granted hereunder;

(o) 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;

(p) the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service, accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental actions (it being understood that the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances);

(r) to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the Trustee will obtain, verify, and record information that identifies individuals or entities that establish a relationship or open an account with the Trustee. The Trustee will ask for the name, address, tax identification number and other information that will allow the Trustee to identify the individual or entity who is establishing the relationship or opening the account. The Trustee may also ask for formation documents such as articles of incorporation, an offering memorandum, or other identifying documents to be provided; and

(s) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any and all communications (both text and attachments) by or from the Trustee that the Trustee in its sole discretion deems to contain confidential, proprietary, and/or sensitive information and sent by electronic mail will be encrypted.

(t) The Collateral Administrator shall have the same rights, privileges and indemnities afforded to the Trustee in this Article VII.

Section 6.4 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Class A Notes.

The recitals contained herein and in the Class A Notes, other than the Certificate of Authentication thereon with respect to the Trustee, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. Except as set forth in Section 6.14, 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), of the Collateral or of the Class A Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of the Class A Notes or the Proceeds thereof or any money paid to the Issuer pursuant to the provisions hereof.

Section 6.5 May Hold Class A Notes.

The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Registrar or any other agent of the Issuer, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Class A Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any of its 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 as otherwise agreed upon with the Issuer and except to the extent of income or other gain on investments that are deposits in or certificates of deposit of the Trustee in its commercial capacity and income or other gain actually received by the Trustee on Eligible Investments.

Section 6.7 Compensation and Reimbursement.

(a) The Issuer agrees:

(i) to pay the Trustee on each Payment Date, the compensation set forth in the letter agreement dated June 22, 2011 (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 (subject to any written agreement between the Issuer and the Trustee) in a timely manner upon its request for all reasonable expenses, costs, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture relating to the maintenance and administration of the Collateral, the administration of the terms of this Indenture, the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the enforcement of any provision hereof or exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder (including 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 Section 5.4, 5.5, 5.17, 10.5 or 10.7, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith);

(iii) to indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder; 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.

(b) The Issuer shall pay the Trustee the fees and expenses specified in this Section 6.7 in accordance with Section 11.1 of this Indenture.

(c) The Trustee hereby agrees not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer 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) after the payment in full of all of the Class A Notes.

(d) The amounts payable to the Trustee on any Payment Date pursuant to Section 6.7(a), or which may be deducted by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7(b) shall not exceed the amounts permitted to be applied to such Administrative Expenses on such Payment Date as provided in and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and the Trustee shall have a lien ranking senior to that of the Holders upon all property and funds held or collected as part of the Collateral to secure payment of amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 6.7 not to exceed such amount with respect to any Payment Date; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not

institute any Proceeding for the enforcement of such lien except in connection with an action pursuant to Section 5.3 for the enforcement of the lien of this Indenture for the benefit of the Secured Parties; provided, further, that the Trustee may only enforce such a lien in conjunction with the enforcement of the rights of Holders in the manner set forth in Sections 5.4 and 5.5. For the avoidance of doubt, any amount payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7(a) and not paid on any Payment Date pursuant to this paragraph shall remain outstanding and be payable on the next Payment Date (subject to the limitations of this paragraph and the Priority of Payments).

The fees payable to the Trustee shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable Due Period divided by 360, and fees applicable to periods shorter or longer than a calendar quarterly period shall be prorated based on the number of days within such period. The Trustee shall apply amounts pursuant to Section 5.7 and Section 11.1(a)(A), (B) or (D) only to the extent that the payment thereof will not result in an Event of Default and the failure to pay such amounts to the Trustee will not, by itself, constitute an Event of Default. Subject to Section 6.1(c)(iv) and 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. No direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class shall affect the right of the Trustee to collect amounts owed to it under this Indenture.

The payment of any fee or expense due to the Trustee is subject to the availability of funds and the Priority of Payments. If, on any date when a fee 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, together with compensatory interest thereon (at a rate not to exceed the federal funds rate), on such later date on which a fee shall be payable and sufficient funds are available therefor.

Section 6.8 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation or association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state banking authority, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000, having an office within the United States and having a long-term senior unsecured debt rating of at least “BBB” by S&P (an institution meeting such ratings, an “Eligible Institution”); provided that if any such institution is downgraded such that it no longer constitutes an Eligible Institution hereunder, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace such institution with a replacement Eligible Institution within 60 calendar days of the ratings downgrade. If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for purposes of this Section 6.8, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. Subject to the proviso above, 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. The indemnification in favor of the Trustee in Section 6.7 shall survive any resignation or removal of the Trustee (to the extent of indemnified liabilities, costs, expenses and other indemnified amounts arising or incurred prior to, or arising as a result of actions or omissions occurring prior to, such resignation or removal).

(b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving 30 days prior written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Noteholders and the Collateral Manager.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class, or may be removed at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, by Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class, delivered to the Trustee, the Collateral Manager and the Issuer.

(d) If at any time:

(i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.8 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by 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 Issuer, by Issuer Order, may remove the Trustee or (B) subject to Section 5.15, any Holder may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) Upon (i) receiving any notice of resignation of the Trustee, (ii) any determination that the Trustee be removed, or (iii) any vacancy in the position of Trustee, then the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by an Authorized Officer of the Issuer, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee so resigning and one copy to the successor Trustee or Trustees; provided that such successor Trustee shall be appointed (i) only upon the written consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class, and (ii) subject to the approval of the Collateral Manager, not to be unreasonably withheld. If the Issuer shall fail to appoint a successor Trustee within 30 days after such notice of resignation, determination of removal or the occurrence of a vacancy, a successor Trustee may be appointed by Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class with the consent of the Collateral Manager (not to be unreasonably withheld). 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 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, determination of removal or the occurrence of a vacancy, then the Trustee to be replaced, or any Noteholder, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time that an Event of

Default shall have occurred and be continuing, a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have in lieu of the Issuer the Issuer’s rights to appoint a successor Trustee, such rights to be exercised by notice delivered to the Issuer and the retiring Trustee. Any successor Trustee shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with Section 6.10, become the successor Trustee and supersede any successor Trustee.

(f) The Issuer shall give prompt notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee (which shall be subject to the approval of the Collateral Manager, not to be unreasonably withheld) to the Collateral Manager and to the Holders of the Class A Notes as their names and addresses appear in the Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. If the Issuer fails to mail any such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Issuer.

Section 6.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer 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 Issuer or a Majority of the Controlling Class 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, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 6.7(d). Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer 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 corporation or association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee (which for purposes of this Section 6.11 shall be deemed to be the Trustee) shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation 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 Class A Notes have 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 Class A Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Class A Notes.

Section 6.12 Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee.

At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Issuer and the Trustee (which for purposes of this Section 6.12 shall be deemed to be 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 Collateral, with the power to file such proofs of claim and take such other actions pursuant to Section 5.4 and to make such claims and enforce such rights of action on behalf of the Noteholders subject to the other provisions of this Section.

The Issuer 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 Issuer does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, the Trustee shall have power to make such appointment.

Should any written instrument from the Issuer be required by any co-Trustee so appointed for 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 Issuer. The Issuer agrees to pay (but only from and to the extent of the Collateral, after payment in full of the amounts payable pursuant to subclauses (i) through (vii) of Section 11.1(a)(A)) for 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 Class A Notes shall be authenticated and delivered by, and all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, Xxxx 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 in the case of the appointment of a co-Trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by a co-Trustee;

(c) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Issuer evidenced by an Issuer Order with a copy to the Collateral Manager, 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 Issuer.

In the event that in any month the Trustee determines based upon the information contained in the Monthly Report or information received from the Collateral Administrator that it has not received a payment with respect to any Pledged Obligation on its Due Date, (a) the Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Collateral Manager in writing 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 Reference 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 subclause (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 in connection with any such action under the Collateral Management Agreement, such release shall be subject to Section 10.6 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 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 Collateral.

For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Class A Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 6.15 shall be deemed to be the authentication of Class A 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 Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer if the resigning or terminated Authenticating Agent was originally appointed at the request of the Issuer.

Unless the Authenticating Agent is 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, 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

With respect to the security interests created hereunder, the pledge of any item of Collateral to the Trustee is to the Trustee as representative of the Holders of the Class A Notes and agent for each of the other Secured Parties; in furtherance of the foregoing, the possession by the Trustee of any item of Collateral, the endorsement to or registration in the name of the Trustee of any item of Collateral (including as entitlement Holder of the Collateral Account) are all undertaken by the Trustee in its capacity as representative of the Holders of the Class A Notes and agent for each of the other Secured Parties. The Trustee shall have no fiduciary duties to each of the other Secured Parties; provided that the foregoing shall not limit any of the express obligations of the Trustee under this Indenture.

Section 6.17 Right of Trustee in Capacity of Registrar, Paying Agent, Calculation Agent or Securities Intermediary.

In the event that the Trustee is also acting in the capacity of Paying Agent, Registrar or Calculation Agent hereunder, the rights, protections, immunities or indemnities afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall also be afforded to the Trustee in its capacity as Paying Agent, Registrar or Calculation Agent.

Without limiting the foregoing, (i) the Issuer shall not (A) have any employees (other than members, managers and any other officers appointed in compliance with the Limited Liability Company Agreement), (B) engage in any transaction with any member (other than the issuance of the Issuer’s equity) that would constitute a conflict of interest (provided that the Limited Liability Company Agreement, the Collateral Administration Agreement, the Asset Transfer Agreement and the Collateral Management Agreement shall not be deemed to be such a transaction that would constitute a conflict of interest) or (C) pay dividends other than in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

The Issuer hereby designates the Trustee as its agent and attorney-in-fact to file, upon Issuer Order, any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument required pursuant to this Section 7.7; provided that such appointment shall not impose upon the Trustee any of the Issuer’s obligations under this Section 7.7. The Issuer shall cause to be filed one or more continuation statements under the applicable UCC (it being understood that the Issuer (and to the extent the Trustee takes any action, the Trustee) shall be entitled to rely upon an Opinion of Counsel, including an Opinion of Counsel delivered in accordance with Sections 3.1(c) and 7.8, as to the need to file such financing statements and continuation statements, the dates by which such filings are required to be made and the jurisdictions in which such filings are required to be made).

(b) The Trustee shall not (i) except in accordance with Section 10.6(a), (b) or (c), as applicable, remove any portion of the Collateral that consists of Cash or is evidenced by an instrument, certificate or other writing (A) from the jurisdiction in which it was held at the date the most recent Opinion of Counsel was delivered pursuant to Section 7.8 (or from the jurisdiction in which it was held as described in the Opinion of Counsel delivered at the Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.1(c), if no Opinion of Counsel has yet been delivered pursuant to Section 7.8) or (B) from the possession of the Person who held it on such date or (ii) cause or permit ownership or the pledge of any portion of the Collateral that consists of book-entry securities to be recorded on the books of a Person (A) located in a different jurisdiction from the jurisdiction in which such ownership or pledge was recorded at such date or (B) other than the Person on whose books such ownership or pledge was recorded at such date, unless the Trustee

102

shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the lien and security interest created by this Indenture with respect to such property will continue to be maintained after giving effect to such action or actions.

Section 7.8 Opinions as to Collateral.

For so long as any Class A Notes are Outstanding, on or before the Payment Date occurring in July of each calendar year, commencing in 2012, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, as of the date of such opinion, all financing statements previously filed in connection with the lien and security interest created by this Indenture remain effective and no additional financing statements, continuation statements or amendments with respect to such financing statements will be required to be filed over the next year to maintain the perfection of the security interest of this Indenture as such security interest otherwise exists on the date of such opinion (or specifying what additional financing statements, continuation statements or amendments are necessary).

Section 7.9 Performance of Obligations.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Issuer shall not take any action that would release any principal obligor from any of such principal obligor’s covenants or obligations under any Reference Instrument, except in connection with the restructuring, default, waiver or amendment of any Collateral; provided, that a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have consented to such action.

(b) The Issuer may contract with other Persons, including the Collateral Manager and the Collateral Administrator, for the performance of actions and obligations to be performed by the Issuer hereunder by such Persons and the performance of the actions and other obligations with respect to the Collateral of the nature set forth in the Collateral Management Agreement by the Collateral Manager and the Collateral Administration Agreement by the Collateral Administrator. Notwithstanding any such arrangement, the Issuer 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 Issuer; and the Issuer will punctually perform, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Collateral Manager or such other Person to perform, all of their obligations and agreements contained in the Collateral Management Agreement, the Collateral Administration Agreement or such other agreement.

(c) The Issuer agrees to comply in all material respects with all requirements applicable to them set forth in any Opinion of Counsel obtained pursuant to any provision of this Indenture including satisfaction of any event identified in any Opinion of Counsel as a prerequisite for the obtaining or maintaining by the Trustee of a perfected security interest in any Collateral Obligation, Substitute Collateral Obligation, Eligible Investment or other Collateral that is of first priority, free of any adverse claim or the legal equivalent thereof, as applicable.

(c) The Calculation Agent shall be required to specify to the Issuer the quotations upon which each Note Interest Rate is based, and in any event the Calculation Agent shall notify the Issuer before 5:00 p.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date that either: (i) it has determined or is in the process of determining the Note Interest Rate and the Class A Note Interest Amount or (ii) it has not determined and is not in the process of determining the Note Interest Rate and the Class A Note Interest Amount, together with its reasons therefor.

(d) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that it may not, prior to the date which is one year and one day (or, if longer, the applicable preference period) after the payment in full of all Class A Notes, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under federal or state bankruptcy or similar laws. Nothing in this Section 7.16 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Calculation Agent (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year and one day (or longer) period in (A) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or (B) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Calculation Agent, or (ii) from commencing against the Issuer or any of its properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceeding.

(d) Upon written request of the accountants, the Trustee shall provide, and if the Trustee is no longer the Registrar, the Issuer shall have any successor Registrar provide, to such Independent accountants the information required (to the extent such information is normally maintained by or normally available to the Trustee or Registrar), including a copy of the Register, by the Independent accountants to comply with their obligations under this Section 7.17.

(c) The failure of the Issuer to satisfy the requirements of this Section 7.23 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.

(d) Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate. On or prior to the Second Effective Date, the Collateral Manager shall elect the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate in accordance with Section 2 of Schedule C that shall on and after the Second Effective Date apply to the Collateral Obligations for purposes of determining compliance with the Minimum Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate Test and the Collateral Manager will notify the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator of such election by providing written notice in the form of Exhibit H.

Notice of withdrawal having been given as aforesaid, the Trustee shall provide notice of such withdrawal to each Holder of Class A Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s address appearing in the Register by overnight courier (when possible) guaranteeing next day delivery (unless the address provided in the Register maintained by the Registrar is insufficient for such purposes, in which event such notice shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid) not later than the third Business Day prior to the scheduled Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

Upon final payment on a Class A Note to be redeemed, the Holder shall present and surrender such Class A Note at the place specified in the notice of redemption on or prior to such Redemption Date; provided, however, that if there is delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such Class A Note, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that the applicable Class A Note has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender.

If any Class A Note called for optional redemption shall not be paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal thereof shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the Note Interest Rate for each successive Interest Accrual Period the Class A Note remains Outstanding.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Interest Proceeds may be applied to the payment of Administrative Expenses of the Issuer on days other than Payment Dates; provided, that, in any Due Period such payments shall not exceed an amount equal on any Payment Date (when taken together with any Administrative Expenses paid during the period since the preceding Payment Date or, in the case of the initial Payment Date, the Closing Date) to $325,000 per annum; provided, further, that (1) such payments do not exceed the amounts permitted to be paid on the related Payment Date pursuant to section 11.1(a)(A)(iii) and (2) sufficient Interest Proceeds have theretofore been received to cover such payments.

ARTICLE XII.

SALE OF COLLATERAL OBLIGATIONS; SUBSTITUTION

Section 12.1 Sale of Collateral Obligations.

For so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Manager may direct the Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, in writing to (1) sell, and the Trustee shall sell, in the manner directed by the Collateral Manager (i) any Equity Security, (ii) any Defaulted Obligation, (iii) any Withholding Tax Security or (iv) any other Collateral Obligation or (2) exchange a Defaulted Obligation for an Exchanged Defaulted Obligation, in each case, in accordance with, and subject to, any applicable limitations on amounts and other requirements set forth herein. The Collateral Manager may direct the Trustee to sell any Credit Risk Obligation at any time without restriction.

(a) Credit Improved Obligations. The Collateral Manager may direct the Trustee to sell any Credit Improved Obligation either:

(i) at any time if (A) the Sale Proceeds from such sale are at least equal to the Investment Criteria Adjusted Balance of such Credit Improved Obligation or (B) after giving effect to such sale, the Aggregate Principal Amount of all Collateral Obligations (excluding the Collateral Obligation being sold but including, without duplication, the anticipated net proceeds of such sale), plus Eligible Investments constituting Principal Proceeds, will be greater than the Reinvestment Target Par Balance; or

(ii) solely during the Reinvestment Period, if the Collateral Manager reasonably believes prior to such sale that either (A) after giving effect to such sale and subsequent reinvestment, the Aggregate Principal Amount of all Collateral Obligations (excluding the Collateral Obligation being sold but including, without duplication, the Collateral Obligation being purchased and the anticipated cash proceeds, if any, of such sale that are not applied to the purchase of such additional Collateral Obligation), plus Eligible Investments constituting Principal Proceeds, will be greater than the Reinvestment Target Par Balance, or (B) it will be able to enter into one or more binding commitments to reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds of such sale, in compliance with the Investment Criteria, in one or more additional Collateral Obligations with an Aggregate Principal Amount at least equal to the Investment Criteria Adjusted Balance of such Credit Improved Obligation within 20 Business Days after such sale.

(b) Discretionary Sales. The Collateral Manager may direct the Trustee to sell any Collateral Obligation (each such sale, a “Discretionary Sale”) at any time if after giving effect to such sale, the Aggregate Principal Amount of all Discretionary Sales effected during the preceding 12 calendar months (or, for the year 2012) is not greater than 25% of the sum of (A) the Aggregate Principal Amount of the Collateral Obligations plus (B) amounts on deposit in the Principal Collection Account as of the first day of such 12 calendar month period (or as of the Second Amendment Date, as the case may be) provided that (1) the Collateral Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to purchase (on behalf of the Issuer), within 30 days after the settlement date on which such Collateral Obligation is sold, one or more additional Collateral Obligations having an Aggregate Principal Amount at least equal to the Aggregate Principal Amount of the Collateral Obligation that was sold; provided, that after the end of the Reinvestment Period, no Discretionary Sale of any Collateral Obligation may take place unless, after giving effect to such sale, (1) the Aggregate Principal Amount of all Collateral Obligations and Eligible Investments constituting Principal Proceeds (including, without duplication, the anticipated net proceeds of the sale) will be greater than the Reinvestment Target Par Balance, or (2) the Sale Proceeds from such Discretionary Sale are at least equal to the Investment Criteria Adjusted Balance of such Collateral Obligation.

143

An Equity Security or a Withholding Tax Security may be sold during or after the Reinvestment Period. If the proposed sale occurs:

(i) during the Reinvestment Period, for so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to direct the reinvestment of the Sale Proceeds in one or more Substitute Collateral Obligations prior to the end of the Permitted Reinvestment Period; or

(ii) after the Reinvestment Period or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Manager will instruct the Issuer to apply the Sale Proceeds thereof in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(d) Conversion into Equity Securities and Sale of Exchanged Equity Securities.

(i) A Collateral Obligation that is a convertible security may be voluntarily converted into an Equity Security by the Issuer only if (1) the Class A Par Value Test is satisfied or is improved following such conversion and (2) on any Determination Date on or after the Second Determination Date, the Class A Interest Coverage Test is satisfied or is improved following such conversion and, in each case the Issuer makes a good faith effort to enter into an agreement to sell such Equity Security in accordance with the timing specified in subclause (d)(ii)(I) of this Section 12.1. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph will not be applicable to a purchase or exchange of an Exchanged Equity Security pursuant to Section 12.1(f).

(ii) Unless acquired in connection with a default, the Collateral Manager shall make a good faith effort to sell, and direct the Trustee in writing to sell, any Exchanged Equity Security within (I) in the case of an Exchanged Equity Security received in connection with an optional conversion at the option of the Holder thereof, five Business Days of the later of (A) the first date on which the Issuer may, in compliance with applicable laws, legally sell, assign or transfer such Exchanged Equity Security and (B) notice of receipt thereof, (II) in the case of an Exchanged Equity Security not subject to subclause (I) and in the event that any of the Coverage Tests are not satisfied on any Measurement Date following the receipt by the Issuer of such Exchanged Equity Security, 60 days after the first date following such Measurement Date on which the Issuer may, in compliance with applicable laws, legally sell, assign or transfer such Exchanged Equity Security or (III) in all other cases, one year after the first date on which the Issuer may, in compliance with applicable laws, legally sell, assign or transfer such Exchanged Equity Security.

(e) Sale of Defaulted Obligations.

The Collateral Manager will, if it believes such sale to be practicable, instruct the Trustee in writing to sell, and the Trustee shall sell, any Defaulted Obligation at any time; provided, however, that during the Reinvestment Period the Collateral Manager will use its commercially reasonable efforts to purchase (on behalf of the Issuer) within 90

144

Business Days after the settlement date for such sale of a Defaulted Obligation, one or more additional Collateral Obligations having an Aggregate Principal Amount at least equal to the Sale Proceeds received from such sale (excluding Sale Proceeds that constitute Interest Proceeds). After the Reinvestment Period, the Collateral Manager will instruct the Trustee to apply the Sale Proceeds of Defaulted Obligations in accordance with the Priority of Payments. For the avoidance of doubt, the exchange of a Defaulted Obligation for an Exchanged Defaulted Obligation pursuant to Section 12.1(f) shall not be deemed to be a sale of a Defaulted Obligation and for purposes of the calculation of Principal Balance, the ownership period for such Exchanged Defaulted Obligation shall include the ownership period for the Defaulted Obligation exchanged therefor.

(f) Exchange of Defaulted Obligations.

Notwithstanding the provisions set forth under Section 12.1(d), at any time, the Collateral Manager may instruct the Trustee in writing to exchange a Defaulted Obligation for (i) another Defaulted Obligation (an “Exchanged Defaulted Obligation”) or (ii) an Exchanged Equity Security, for so long as at the time of or in connection with such exchange:

(i) such Exchanged Defaulted Obligation or Exchanged Equity Security is issued by the same obligor as the Defaulted Obligation (or an Affiliate of or successor to such obligor or an entity that succeeds to substantially all of the assets of such obligor) and, in the case of such Exchanged Defaulted Obligation, ranks in right of payment no more junior than the Defaulted Obligation for which it was exchanged; provided that if the Issuer is also required to pay an amount for such Exchanged Defaulted Obligation or Exchanged Equity Security, the Issuer may use Interest Proceeds to effect such payment for so long as, after giving effect to such purchase, there would be sufficient proceeds in the Interest Collection Account to pay all amounts required to be paid pursuant to the Priority of Payments prior to any distributions to the Equity Owner on the next succeeding Payment Date;

(ii) in the case of an Exchanged Defaulted Obligation, (1) if the Class A Par Value Test is not satisfied following such exchange, then such Class A Par Value Test is at least as close to being satisfied after such exchange as prior to such exchange and (2) on any Determination Date on or after the Second Determination Date, if the Class A Interest Coverage Test is not satisfied following such exchange, then such Class A Interest Coverage Test is at least as close to being satisfied after such exchange as prior to such exchange;

(iii) in the case of an Exchanged Defaulted Obligation, the expected total recovery proceeds of such Exchanged Defaulted Obligation, as determined by the Collateral Manager, must be no less than the expected total recovery proceeds of the Defaulted Obligation for which it was exchanged; and

(iv) as determined by the Collateral Manager, in the case of an Exchanged Defaulted Obligation, if any Concentration Limitation is not satisfied following such exchange, then any such Concentration Limitation is at least as close to being satisfied as prior to such exchange.

145

(g) Application of Sale Proceeds. During the Reinvestment Period, all Sale Proceeds shall be applied to purchase additional Collateral Obligations in accordance with the Reinvestment Criteria and Section 3.4(a), as applicable, or to purchase Eligible Investments in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 12.2(a), or shall be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments applicable thereto on the next succeeding Payment Date. After the Reinvestment Period, no Principal Proceeds may be reinvested in Collateral Obligations at any time.

(h) Sales of Eligible Investments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, none of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the Trustee may at any time sell or permit the sale of any Eligible Investment prior to its maturity date if the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, as the case may be, determines that such Eligible Investment will sell at a price that is below the par value of such Eligible Investment.

(i) Collateral Acquisition and Disposition Terms. Any transaction involving the purchase or sale of Collateral effected under this Indenture shall be conducted on terms no less favorable to the Issuer than terms prevailing in the market.

(j) Sales Prior to Stated Maturity. On or prior to the date that is two Business Days prior to the Stated Maturity of the last Outstanding Class A Note, the Collateral Manager shall direct the Trustee in writing to sell, and the Trustee shall sell, all Collateral Obligations and other securities to the extent necessary such that no Collateral Obligations or other securities will be expected to be held by the Issuer on or after such date, and the Trustee shall sell such Collateral Obligations and such other securities in accordance with the direction of the Collateral Manager. The settlement dates for any such sales of Collateral Obligations and other securities shall be no later than two Business Days prior to the Stated Maturity of the last Outstanding Class A Note.

(k) Reinvestment in Collateral Obligations. Whenever the Collateral Manager is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to direct the reinvestment of Sale Proceeds on behalf of the Issuer under this Section, such reinvestment shall be subject to market conditions and the availability and suitability of available investments.

Section 12.2 Trading Restrictions.

A Collateral Obligation (other than an Exchanged Defaulted Obligation, which need not satisfy these tests to be included) will be eligible for inclusion in the Collateral only if subclause (a) below is satisfied (collectively, the “Reinvestment Criteria”). The Reinvestment Criteria are not required to be satisfied during the Initial Investment Period; provided, that the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall obtain the consent of the Majority of the Controlling Class prior to the purchase of any Collateral Obligation, in accordance with Section 12.2(b) below.

146

(a) During the Reinvestment Period but after the Initial Investment Period:

(i) with respect to any reinvestment of Principal Proceeds (other than those amounts described in subclause (ii) of the definition thereof), (1) if the Class A Par Value Test is not satisfied following such reinvestment, then such Class A Par Value Test is at least as close to being satisfied after such reinvestment as prior to such reinvestment and (2) on the Second Determination Date and any subsequent Measurement Date, if the Class A Interest Coverage Test is not satisfied following such reinvestment, then such Class A Interest Coverage Test is at least as close to being satisfied after such reinvestment as prior to such reinvestment;

(ii) with respect to any reinvestment of Principal Xxxxxxxx described in subclause (ii) of the definition thereof, (1) the Class A Par Value Test is satisfied following such reinvestment and (2) on the Second Determination Date and any subsequent Measurement Date, the Class A Interest Coverage Test is satisfied following such reinvestment;

(iii) on and after the Second Amendment Date, the Collateral Quality Tests are satisfied after such reinvestment or if any Collateral Quality Test is not satisfied after such reinvestment, it is maintained or improved after such reinvestment; provided, that during the Reinvestment Period, the S&P CDO Monitor Test is not required to be satisfied with respect to the sale of Defaulted Obligations, Credit Risk Obligations or Equity Securities and the reinvestment of the proceeds of any such sale;

(iv) no Event of Default exists at the time such Reinvestment Criteria are applied;

(v) in the case of an additional Collateral Obligation purchased with the proceeds from the sale of a Credit Risk Obligation or a Defaulted Obligation, either (1) the Aggregate Principal Amount of all additional Collateral Obligations purchased with the proceeds from such sale will at least equal the Sale Proceeds from such sale, (2) the Aggregate Principal Amount of the Collateral Obligations will be maintained or increased (when compared to the Aggregate Principal Amount of the Collateral Obligations immediately prior to such sale) or (3) the Aggregate Principal Amount of all Collateral Obligations (excluding the Collateral Obligation being sold but including, without duplication, the Collateral Obligation being purchased and the anticipated cash proceeds, if any, of such sale that are not applied to the purchase of such additional Collateral Obligation), plus Eligible Investments constituting Principal Proceeds, will be greater than the Reinvestment Target Par Balance and (B) in the case of any other purchase of additional Collateral Obligations purchased with the proceeds from the sale of a Collateral Obligation, either (1) the Aggregate Principal Amount of the Collateral Obligations will be maintained or increased (when compared to the Aggregate Principal Amount of the Collateral Obligations immediately prior to such sale) or (2) the Aggregate Principal Amount of all Collateral Obligations (excluding the Collateral Obligation being sold but including, without duplication, the Collateral Obligation being purchased and the anticipated cash proceeds, if any, of such sale that are not applied to the purchase of such additional Collateral Obligation), plus Eligible Investments constituting Principal Proceeds, will be greater than the Reinvestment Target Par Balance;

147

(vi) a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have approved the purchase of such Collateral Obligation, in accordance with Section 12.2(b) below; and

(vii) with respect to the Collateral Portfolio, the Concentration Limitations shall be satisfied following such reinvestment;

For the avoidance of doubt, Sale Proceeds may be invested in Eligible Investments, each with a maturity date not to exceed the date that is one Business Day prior to the Payment Date next succeeding the Due Period in which such Sale Proceeds are received, pending investment in Collateral Obligations.

The Reinvestment Criteria will be measured immediately before the Issuer commits to purchase or purchases a Collateral Obligation, and are designed to compare (i) the Collateral Portfolio before the proposed addition of a Collateral Obligation to the Collateral Portfolio and (ii) the Collateral Portfolio immediately after such Collateral Obligation is added to the Collateral Portfolio. Accordingly, when used with respect to the Reinvestment Criteria, the phrase “prior to such reinvestment” shall mean the following:

(i) immediately prior to the sale of the related Collateral Obligation, with respect to the reinvestment of the Sale Proceeds of a Collateral Obligation other than an Equity Security, a Withholding Tax Security or a Defaulted Obligation; or

(ii) immediately prior to the reinvestment of the Sale Proceeds of an Equity Security, a Withholding Tax Security or a Defaulted Obligation.

(b) In connection with the purchase of a Collateral Obligation and prior to entering into a commitment to purchase such Collateral Obligation, the Issuer, or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer, shall comply with the following procedure:

(i) each proposed purchase of a Collateral Obligation shall be submitted in writing for approval to the Holders of the Class A Notes;

(ii) the Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right to request (and upon receipt of such request, the Collateral Manager shall promptly provide) the following information with respect to the Collateral Obligation identified for purchase: (1) the Reference Instrument (including the collateral and security documents) relating to such Collateral Obligation; (2) audited financial statement for the previous most recently ended three years of the obligor of such Collateral Obligation; (3) quarterly statements for the previous most recently ended eight fiscal quarters of the obligor of such Collateral Obligation; (4) any appraisal or valuation reports conducted by third parties; (5) any other information customary and typical in performing a detailed credit analysis and as reasonably requested by the Majority of the Controlling Class (collectively, the “Diligence Information”);

(iii) upon receipt of the request for approval and any requested Diligence Information, as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Majority of the Controlling Class shall, within 5 Business Days, either (x) approve the purchase of such Collateral Obligation and, in connection with such approval, determine the Market Value for such Collateral Obligation as of the approval date, or (y) reject the purchase of such Collateral Obligation.

148

(c) In connection with the Issuer’s holding of a Collateral Obligation and for as long as such Collateral Obligation remains part of the Collateral Portfolio, the Issuer, or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, as soon as practically available, provide the Holders of the Class A Notes with the Diligence Information referenced to in subclause (b)(ii) above.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no reinvestment in any Collateral Obligations after the end of the Reinvestment Period.

Section 12.3 Affiliate Transactions. The Issuer will not have the right or ability to sell to an Affiliate any Collateral Obligation acquired from an Affiliate except for (a) required repurchase obligations or other permitted transactions pursuant to the Asset Transfer Agreement (such repurchase, “Permitted Repurchases”), or (b) sales to Affiliates conducted on terms and conditions consistent with those of an arm’s length transaction at fair market value so long as the Collateral Manager obtains bid prices from at least two nationally recognized dealers (unaffiliated with the Collateral Manager or its affiliates) for such Collateral Obligation.

NOTEHOLDERS’ RELATIONS

Section 13.1 Subordination and Non-Petition.

(a) Anything in this Indenture or the Class A Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer agrees for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A Notes that the rights of the Equity Owner to distribution by the Issuer and in and to the Collateral, including any payment from Proceeds of Collateral, shall be subordinate and junior to the Class A Notes, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Indenture including, as set forth in Section 11.1 and hereinafter provided. If any Event of Default has occurred and has not been cured or waived, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 11.1 to the contrary, interest on and principal of the Class A Notes shall be paid in full in Cash (in order of priority) before any further payment or distribution is made on account of the Equity Owner.

(b) In the event that notwithstanding the provisions of this Indenture, any Holder of any Subordinate Interests shall have received any payment or distribution in respect of such Subordinate Interests contrary to the provisions of this Indenture, then, unless and until either the Class A Notes shall have been paid in full 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 Class A Notes, as the case may be, in accordance with this Indenture; provided, however, that, if any such payment or distribution is made other than in Cash, it shall be held by the Trustee as part of the Collateral and subject in all respects to the provisions of this Indenture, including this Section 13.1.

149

(c) The Issuer agrees with all Holders of Class A Notes that the Issuer shall not demand, accept, or receive any payment or distribution in respect of such Subordinate Interests in violation of 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 Subordinate Interests.

(d) The Noteholders shall not have a right to receive from the Trustee or the Registrar a list of the Noteholders.

(e) The Holders of the Class A Notes agree not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer prior to the date which is one year and one day (or, if longer, the applicable preference period) after the payment in full of principal of and interest on all the Class A Notes.

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, subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture, including Section 5.9, 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.

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 of an Authorized Officer of the 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 Authorized Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate of, or representations by, the 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 Collateral Manager or such other Person, unless such Authorized

150

Officer of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager or such counsel knows that the certificate 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 of, or representations by, an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, stating that the information with respect to such matters is in the possession of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, unless such counsel knows that the certificate 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 the Issuer, then notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer’s rights 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 Noteholders.

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

(b) 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.

(c) The principal amount, notional amount and registered numbers of Class A Notes held by any Person, and the date of his holding the same, shall be proved by the Register.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Class A Notes shall bind the Holder (and any transferee thereof) of such Class A Note and of every Class A 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 Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Class A Note.

151

Section 14.3 Notices.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any request, demand, authorization, direction, instruction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with any of the parties indicated below shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to and mailed, by first Class mail, hand delivered, sent by overnight courier service guaranteeing next day delivery or by telecopy in legible form at the following addresses:

Section 14.4 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Class A Notes of any event,

(a) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Class A Notes if in writing and (i) mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Noteholder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Register or (ii) if a Holder is located overseas and so requests, faxed to such Holder, at the facsimile number of such Person as it appears in the Register, not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice; and

(b) such notice shall be in the English language.

Such notices will be deemed to have been given on the date of such mailing or possible electronic transmission.

152

The Trustee will deliver to the Holders of the Class A Notes any notice requested to be so delivered by such Holder (at the expense of such requesting Holder); provided, that the Trustee may decline to deliver any such notice that it reasonably determines is contrary to any terms of this Indenture or any duty or obligation it may have, or that may expose it to liability or that may be contrary to law.

Neither the failure to mail (or otherwise furnish electronically) any notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Class A Notes. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impractical to give such notice by mail or facsimile, as the case may be, then such notification to Holders of Class A Notes 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 Noteholders 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.

Section 14.5 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 14.6 Successors and Assigns.

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

Section 14.7 Severability.

In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Class A Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 14.8 Benefits of Indenture.

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Class A Notes, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person (other than the Collateral Manager and the Collateral Administrator, who each shall be an express third party beneficiary of Section 8.5 and the Granting Clause of this Indenture, the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders of Class A Notes) any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

(a) The Issuer, in furtherance of the covenants of this Indenture and as security for the Secured Obligations and the performance and observance of the provisions hereof, hereby assigns, transfers, conveys and sets over to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all of the Issuer’s estate, right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral Management Agreement (except as set forth in the second proviso of this Section 15.1(a)), including (i) the right to give all notices, consents and releases thereunder, (ii) the right to take any legal action upon the breach of an obligation of the Collateral Manager thereunder, including the commencement, conduct and consummation of proceedings at law or in equity, (iii) the right to receive all notices, accountings, consents, releases and statements thereunder and (iv) the right to do any and all other things whatsoever that the Issuer is or may be entitled to do thereunder; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall not have the authority to execute any of the rights set forth in subclauses (i) through (iv) above or may otherwise arise as a result of the Grant until the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and such authority shall terminate at such time, if any, as such Event of Default is cured or waived; provided, however, further, that the assignment made hereby does not include an assignment of the Issuer’s right to terminate the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 13 of the Collateral Management Agreement or any other provision contained therein.

(b) The assignment made hereby is executed as collateral security, and the execution and delivery hereby shall not in any way impair or diminish the obligations of the Issuer under the provisions of the Collateral Management Agreement, nor shall any of the obligations contained in the Collateral Management Agreement be imposed on the Trustee.

(c) Upon the retirement of the Class A Notes and the release of the Collateral from the lien of this Indenture, this assignment and all rights herein assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties shall cease and terminate and all the estate, right, title and interest of the Trustee in, to and under the Collateral Management Agreement shall revert to the Issuer and no further instrument or act shall be necessary to evidence such termination and reversion.

(d) The Issuer represents that the Issuer has not executed any other assignment of the Collateral Management Agreement.

(e) The Issuer agrees that this assignment is irrevocable, and that it will not take any action which is inconsistent with this assignment or make any other assignment inconsistent herewith. The Issuer will, from time to time, execute all instruments of further assurance and all such supplemental instruments with respect to this assignment as the Trustee may specify or as may be required to maintain the perfection of the lien of this Indenture.

155

(f) The Issuer xxxxxx agrees, and hereby undertakes to obtain the agreement and consent of the Collateral Manager in the Collateral Management Agreement, to the following:

(i) The Collateral Manager consents to the provisions of this assignment and agrees to perform any provisions of this Indenture applicable to the Collateral Manager subject to the terms of the Collateral Management Agreement.

(ii) The Collateral Manager acknowledges that, except as otherwise set forth in Section 15.1(a), the Issuer is assigning all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral Management Agreement to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

(iii) The Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator duplicate original copies of all notices, statements, communications and instruments delivered or required to be delivered to the Issuer pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement.

(iv) Neither the Issuer nor the Collateral Manager will enter into any agreement amending, modifying or terminating the Collateral Management Agreement without (1) complying with the applicable provisions of the Collateral Management Agreement, and (2) the consent of the Majority of the Controlling Class.

(v) Except as otherwise set forth herein and therein, the Collateral Manager shall continue to serve as Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement notwithstanding that the Collateral Manager shall not have received amounts due it under the Collateral Management Agreement because sufficient funds were not then available hereunder to pay such amounts in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Collateral Manager agrees not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer for the non-payment of the Collateral Management Fees, or other amounts payable by the Issuer to the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement prior to the date which is one year and one day (or, if longer, the applicable preference period) after the payment in full of all Class A Notes issued under this Indenture; provided, however, nothing in this Section 15.1 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Collateral Manager (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year and one day (or longer) period in (A) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or (B) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates or (ii) from commencing against the Issuer or any of its properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceeding.

(vi) The Collateral Manager irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or New York state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any action or Proceeding arising out of or relating to the Class A Notes or this Indenture, and the Collateral Manager irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or Proceeding may be heard and determined in such federal or New York state court. The Collateral Manager irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it

156

may legally do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or Proceeding. The Collateral Manager irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any action or Proceeding by the mailing or delivery of copies of such process to it at the office of the Collateral Manager set forth in Section 14.3. The Collateral Manager agrees that a final judgment in any such action or Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
