GRANTING CLAUSES

The Issuer hereby Grants to the Trustee, for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under, in each case, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising out of (in each case, to the extent of the Issuer’s interest therein and specifically excluding any interest of the related Companion Interest Holder therein and excluding any interest in the Excepted Property):

Upon receipt by the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar of:

(1) if the transferee is taking a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, instructions from Euroclear, Clearstream and/or DTC, as the case may be, directing the Notes Registrar to cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note, but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to such holder’s Notes to be exchanged or transferred, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with DTC to be credited with such increase and a duly completed certificate in the form of Exhibit C-2 attached hereto; or

-67-

(2) if the transferee is taking a Definitive Note, a duly completed transfer certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit C-3 hereto, certifying that such transferee is an IAI,

then the Notes Registrar shall either (x) if the transferee is taking a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, approve the instructions at DTC to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be transferred or exchanged and the Notes Registrar shall instruct DTC, concurrently with such reduction, to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note or (y) if the transferee is taking an interest in a Definitive Note, the Notes Registrar shall record the transfer in the Notes Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and, upon execution by the Issuers, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Notes, as applicable, registered in the names specified in the instructions described above, in principal amounts designated by the transferee (the aggregate of such principal amounts being equal to the aggregate principal amount of the interest in the Regulation S Global Note transferred by the transferor).

(iii) Definitive Note or Rule 144A Global Note to Regulation S Global Note. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note or a Holder of a Definitive Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note or Definitive Note for an interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note or Definitive Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, such holder, provided such holder or, in the case of a transfer, the transferee is not a U.S. person and is acquiring such interest in an offshore transaction, may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer of, such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note. Upon receipt by the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar of:

(1) instructions given in accordance with DTC’s procedures from an Agent Member directing the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to such holder’s Notes, in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or Definitive Note to be exchanged or transferred, and in the case of a transfer of Definitive Notes, such Holder’s Definitive Notes properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee,

(2) a written order given in accordance with DTC’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of DTC and the Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase,

(3) in the case of a transfer of Definitive Notes, a ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Definitive Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee, and

(4) a duly completed certificate in the form of Exhibit C-1 attached hereto,

then the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar shall approve the instructions at DTC to reduce the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note (or, in the case of a transfer of Definitive Notes, the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar shall cancel such Definitive Notes) and to increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or Definitive Note to be exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note (or, in the case of a cancellation of Definitive Notes, equal to the principal amount of Definitive Notes so cancelled).

(iv) Transfer of Rule 144A Global Notes to Definitive Notes. If, in accordance with Section 2.10, a holder of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note for a Definitive Note or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note in accordance with Section 2.10, such holder may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer of, such interest for a Definitive Note. Upon receipt by the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar of (A) a duly complete certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-3 and (B) appropriate instructions from DTC, if required, the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar shall approve the instructions at DTC to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Rule 144A Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be transferred or exchanged, record the transfer in the Notes Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and upon execution by the Issuers, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Notes, registered in the names specified in the instructions described in clause (B) above, in principal amounts designated by the transferee (the aggregate of such principal amounts being equal to the aggregate principal amount of the interest in the Rule 144A Global Note transferred by the transferor).

(v) Transfer of Definitive Notes to Rule 144A Global Notes. If a holder of a Definitive Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Definitive Note for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note or to transfer such Definitive Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, such holder may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer of, such Definitive Note for beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note (provided that

-69-

no IAI may hold an interest in a Rule 144A Global Note). Upon receipt by the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar of (A) a Holder’s Definitive Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee; (B) a duly completed certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 attached hereto; (C) instructions given in accordance with DTC’s procedures from an Agent Member to instruct DTC to cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Notes in an amount equal to the Definitive Notes to be transferred or exchanged; and (D) a written order given in accordance with DTC’s procedures containing information regarding the participant’s account of DTC to be credited with such increase, the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar shall cancel such Definitive Note in accordance herewith, record the transfer in the Notes Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and approve the instructions at DTC, concurrently with such cancellation, to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note transferred or exchanged.

(vi) Transfers of EHRI. Transfers of the Preferred Shares and restrictions on the transfer of the EHRI shall be governed by the Preferred Share Paying Agency Agreement, and be subject to Section 2.5(n).

(vii) Other Exchanges. In the event that, pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, such Notes may be exchanged for one another only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions above (including certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers are to a QIB which is also a Qualified Purchaser or are to a non-U.S. Person which is also a Qualified Purchaser, or otherwise comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S, as the case may be) and as may be from time to time adopted by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Note Administrator.

(f) Removal of Legend. If Notes are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the applicable legends set forth in Exhibits A and B hereto, and if a request is made to remove such applicable legend on such Notes, the Notes so issued shall bear such applicable legend, or such applicable legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Issuer and the Co-Issuer such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel of an attorney at law licensed to practice law in the State of New York (and addressed to the Issuer and the Note Administrator), as may be reasonably required by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, to the effect that neither such 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 Regulation S, as applicable, the 1940 Act or ERISA. So long as the Issuer or the Co-Issuer is relying on an exemption or exclusion under or promulgated pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer shall not remove that portion of the legend required to maintain an exemption or exclusion under or promulgated pursuant to the 1940 Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, as confirmed in writing by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, to the Note Administrator, the Note Administrator, at the direction of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, shall authenticate and deliver Notes that do not bear such applicable legend.

(g) Each beneficial owner of Regulation S Global Notes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Person acquiring a beneficial ownership interest in an Exchanged Note that is represented by a Regulation S Global Note) shall be deemed to make the representations and agreements set forth in Exhibit C-1 hereto.

-70-

(h) Each beneficial owner of Rule 144A Global Notes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Person acquiring a beneficial ownership interest in an Exchanged Note that is represented by a Rule 144A Global Note) shall be deemed to make the representations and agreements set forth in Exhibit C-2 hereto.

(i) Each Holder of Definitive Notes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Person acquiring an interest in an Exchanged Note that is represented by a Definitive Note) shall make the representations and agreements substantially in the form set forth in the certificate attached as Exhibit C-3 hereto.

(j) Any purported transfer of a Note not in accordance with Section 2.5(a) shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose hereunder.

(k) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, none of the Trustee, the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar (nor any other Transfer Agent) shall be responsible or liable for compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or Rule 144A or Regulation S promulgated thereunder), the 1940 Act, ERISA or the Code (or any applicable regulations thereunder); provided, however, that if a specified transfer certificate or Opinion of Counsel is required by the express terms of this Section 2.5 to be delivered to the Trustee, the Note Administrator or Notes Registrar prior to registration of transfer of a Note, the Note Administrator and/or Notes Registrar, as applicable, is required to request, as a condition for registering the transfer of the Note, such certificate or Opinion of Counsel and to examine the same to determine whether it conforms on its face to the requirements hereof (and the Note Administrator or Notes Registrar, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if it determines that such certificate or Opinion of Counsel does not so conform).

(l) If the Note Administrator has actual knowledge or is notified by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager that (i) a transfer or attempted or purported transfer of any interest in any Note was consummated in compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.5 on the basis of a materially incorrect certification from the transferee or purported transferee, (ii) a transferee failed to deliver to the Note Administrator any certification required to be delivered hereunder or (iii) the holder of any interest in a Note is in breach of any representation or agreement set forth in any certification or any deemed representation or agreement of such holder, the Note Administrator shall not register such attempted or purported transfer and if a transfer has been registered, such transfer shall be absolutely null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee (such purported transferee, a “Disqualified Transferee”) and the last preceding holder of such interest in such Note that was not a Disqualified Transferee shall be restored to all rights as a Holder thereof retroactively to the date of transfer of such Note by such Holder.

-71-

In addition, the Note Administrator may require that the interest in the Note referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) in the preceding paragraph be transferred to any Person designated by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager at a price determined by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, based upon its estimation of the prevailing price of such interest and each Holder, by acceptance of an interest in a Note, authorizes the Note Administrator to take such action. In any case, none of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the Note Administrator shall be held responsible for any losses that may be incurred as a result of any required transfer under this Section 2.5(l).

(m) By its acceptance of a Note, each Holder of a Note will be deemed to have approved and consented to (i) the purchase of the Closing Date Collateral Interests by the Issuer from the Seller on the Closing Date, (ii) the purchase of the Delayed Close Collateral Interest by the Issuer from the Seller on or prior to the Delayed Close Purchase Termination Date, (iii) the acquisition of any Subsequent Collateral Interest in accordance with this Indenture, (iv) any sale or other disposition of a Collateral Interest in accordance with this Indenture and (v) any other transaction between the Issuer and any Affiliate of ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ that is permitted under the terms of the Transaction Documents.

(n) As long as any Note is Outstanding, any retained or repurchased Notes, Retained Securities or ordinary shares of the Issuer held by Sub-REIT, Retention Holder or any other disregarded entity of Sub-REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes may not be transferred (whether by means of an actual transfer or transfer of beneficial ownership for U.S. federal income tax purposes), pledged or hypothecated to any Person (except to an affiliate that is wholly-owned by Sub-REIT and is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes) unless the Issuer (i) receives a No Entity-Level Tax Opinion with respect to such transfer, pledge or hypothecation or (ii) has previously received a No Trade or Business Opinion; provided that no opinion will be required if such transfer is to an affiliate that is directly or indirectly wholly-owned by Sub-REIT and is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an entity separate from Sub-REIT.

(o) Each Holder of Notes agrees to comply with the Holder AML Obligations.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Accounts (including income, if any, earned on the investments of funds in such account) will be owned by Sub-REIT, if the Issuer is wholly-owned by Sub-REIT, or a subsequent REIT that wholly owns the Issuer, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Issuer shall provide to the Note Administrator (i) an IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 no later than the Closing Date, and (ii) any additional IRS forms (or updated versions of any previously submitted IRS forms) or other documentation at such time or times required by applicable law or upon the reasonable request of the Note Administrator as may be necessary (x) to reduce or eliminate the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes and (y) to permit the Note Administrator to fulfill its tax reporting obligations under applicable law with respect to the Indenture Accounts or any amounts paid to the Issuer. If any IRS form or other documentation previously delivered becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, the Issuer shall timely provide to the Note Administrator accurately updated and complete versions of such IRS forms or other documentation. The Note Administrator shall have no liability to the Issuer or any other person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid or withheld from the Indenture Accounts pursuant to applicable law arising from the Issuer’s failure to timely provide an accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W-9, an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, no funds shall be invested with respect to such Indenture Accounts absent the Note Administrator having first received (i) the requisite written investment direction from the Issuer with respect to the investment of such funds, and (ii) the IRS forms and other documentation required by this paragraph.

Section 2.6 Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Note.

If (a) any mutilated or defaced Note is surrendered to a Transfer Agent, or if there shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator and the relevant Transfer Agent (each a “Specified Person”) evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (b) there is delivered to each Specified Person such security or indemnity as may be required by each Specified Person to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Specified Persons that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall execute and, upon Issuer Request, the Note Administrator shall cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal amount, registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication, bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If, after delivery of such new Note, a bona fide purchaser of the predecessor Note presents for payment, transfer or exchange such predecessor Note, any Specified Person shall be entitled to recover such new Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, and each Specified Person shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by such Specified Person in connection therewith.

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

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.6, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, may require the payment by the registered Holder thereof 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 Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.6 in lieu of any mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, and such new 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 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, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.7 Payment of Principal and Interest and Other Amounts; Principal and Interest Rights Preserved.

(a) Each Class of Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period at the Note Interest Rate applicable to such Class and such interest will be payable in arrears on each Payment Date on the Aggregate Outstanding Amount thereof on the first day of the related Interest Accrual Period (after giving effect to payments of principal thereof on such date), except as otherwise set forth below. Payment of interest on each Class of Notes will be subordinated to the payment of interest on each related Class of Notes senior thereto and certain other amounts in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Any payment of interest due on a Class of Deferred Interest Notes on any Payment Date (other than the Redemption Date with respect to, or Stated Maturity Date of, such Class of Notes) to the extent sufficient funds are not available to make such payment in accordance with the Priority of Payments on such Payment Date, but only if such Class is not the most senior Class Outstanding, shall constitute “Deferred Interest” with respect to such Class and shall not be considered “due and payable” for the purposes of Section 5.1(a) (and the failure to pay such interest shall not be an Event of Default) until the earliest of (i) the Payment Date on which funds are available to pay such Deferred Interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments, (ii) the Redemption Date with respect to such Class of Deferred Interest Notes and (iii) the Stated Maturity Date (or the earlier date of Maturity) of such Class of Deferred Interest Notes. Deferred Interest on any Class of Deferred Interest Notes shall be added to the principal balance of such Class of Deferred Interest Notes. Regardless of whether any more senior Class of Notes is Outstanding with respect to any Class of Deferred Interest Notes, to the extent that funds are not available on any Payment Date (other than the Redemption Date with respect to, or the Stated Maturity Date of, such Class of Deferred Interest Notes) to pay previously accrued Deferred Interest, such previously accrued Deferred Interest will not be due and payable on such Payment Date and any failure to pay such previously accrued Deferred Interest on such Payment Date will not be an Event of Default. Interest will cease to accrue on each Note, or in the case of a partial repayment, on such repaid part, from the date of repayment or the Stated Maturity Date unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or unless an Event of Default occurs with respect to such payments of principal. To the extent lawful and enforceable, interest on any interest that is not paid when due on the Class A Notes; or, if no Class A Notes are Outstanding, the Notes of the Controlling Class, shall accrue at the Note Interest Rate applicable to such Class until paid as provided herein.

(b)

(i) So long as any of the Offered Notes (and any related Exchanged Notes) are Outstanding, the Class F Deferred Interest and the Class F-E Deferred Interest will be deferred and added to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class F Notes or the Class F-E Notes, as applicable, and will not be considered “due and payable” until the Payment Date on which funds are available to pay such Class F Deferred Interest and Class F-E Deferred Interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(ii) So long as any of the Offered Notes (and any related Exchanged Notes), the Class F Notes, the Class F-E Notes or the Class F-X Notes are Outstanding, the Class G Deferred Interest and the Class G-E Deferred Interest will be deferred and added to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class G Notes or the Class G-E Notes, as applicable, and will not be considered “due and payable” until the Payment Date on which funds are available to pay such Class G Deferred Interest and Class G-E Deferred Interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

-74-

(c) The principal of each Class of Notes matures at par and is due and payable on the date of the Stated Maturity Date for such Class, unless such principal has been previously repaid or unless the unpaid principal of such Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of principal of each Class of Notes may only occur (other than amounts constituting Deferred Interest thereon which will be payable from Interest Proceeds) pursuant to the Priority of Payments. The payment of principal on any Note (x) may only occur after each Class more senior thereto is no longer Outstanding and (y) is subordinated to the payment on each Payment Date of the principal due and payable on each Class more senior thereto and certain other amounts in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Payments of principal on any Class of Notes that are not paid, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on any Payment Date (other than the Payment Date which is the Stated Maturity Date (or the earlier date of Maturity) of such Class of Notes or any Redemption Date), because of insufficient funds therefor shall not be considered “due and payable” for purposes of Section 5.1(a) until the Payment Date on which such principal may be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments or all Classes of Notes most senior thereto with respect to such Class have been paid in full. Payments of principal on the Notes in connection with a Clean-up Call, Tax Redemption, Auction Call Redemption or Optional Redemption will be made in accordance with Section 9.1 and the Priority of Payments.

(d) As a condition to the payment of principal of and interest on any Note without the imposition of U.S. withholding tax, the Issuer shall require certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Preferred Share Paying Agent and the Paying Agent to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to deduct or withhold from payments in respect of such Security under any present or future law or regulation of the United States or the Cayman Islands or any present or future law or regulation of any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or regulation. Such certification may include U.S. federal income tax forms, such as IRS Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Individuals)), IRS Form W-8BEN-E (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Entities)), IRS Form W-8IMY (Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign Flow-Through Entity or Certain U.S. Branches for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting), IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification), or IRS Form W-8ECI (Certificate of Foreign Person’s Claim that Income Is Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States) or any successors to such IRS forms. In addition, each of the Issuer, Co-Issuer, the Trustee, Preferred Share Paying Agent or any Paying Agent may require certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer to qualify for a reduced rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which the Issuer receives payments on its Collateral and otherwise as may be necessary or desirable to ensure compliance with all applicable laws. Each Holder and each beneficial owner of Notes agree to provide any certification requested pursuant to this Section 2.7(f) (including a properly completed and executed “Entity Self-Certification Form” or “Individual Self-Certification Form” (in the forms published by the Cayman Islands Department for International Tax Cooperation, which forms can be obtained at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇/▇▇▇/▇▇▇_▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇)) and to update or replace such form or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments. Furthermore, as a condition to payment without the imposition of U.S. withholding tax under FATCA and the Cayman FATCA Legislation, the Issuer shall require information to

-75-

comply with FATCA and the Cayman FATCA Legislation requirements pursuant to clause (xii) of the representations and warranties set forth under the third paragraph of Exhibit C-1 hereto, as deemed made pursuant to Section 2.5(g) hereto, or pursuant to clause (xiii) of the representations and warranties set forth under the third paragraph of Exhibit C-2 hereto, as deemed made pursuant to Section 2.5(h) hereto, or pursuant to clause (viii) of the representations and warranties set forth under the third paragraph of Exhibit C-3 hereto, made pursuant to Section 2.5(i) hereto, as applicable. The Noteholders shall be required to provide to the Issuer, the Note Administrator or their agents all information, documentation or certifications acceptable to it to permit the Issuer or the Note Administrator to comply with its tax reporting obligations under applicable law, including any applicable cost basis reporting obligations.

(e) Payments in respect of interest on and principal on the Notes shall be payable by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by the Holder or its nominee; provided that the Holder has provided wiring instructions to the Paying Agent on or before the related Record Date or, if wire transfer cannot be effected, by a Dollar check drawn on a bank in the United States, or by a Dollar check mailed to the Holder at its address in the Notes Register. The Issuer expects that the Depository or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest in respect of a Global Note held by the Depository or its nominee, shall immediately credit the applicable Agent Members’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to the respective beneficial interests in such Global Note as shown on the records of the Depository or its nominee. The Issuer also expects that payments by Agent Members to owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note held through Agent Members will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the responsibility of the Agent Members. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of a Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note Administrator or at the office of the Paying Agent (or, to a foreign paying agent appointed by the Note Administrator outside of the United States if then required by applicable law, in the case of a Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note) on or prior to such Maturity. None of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator or the Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability with respect to any records maintained by the Holder of any Note with respect to the beneficial holders thereof or payments made thereby on account of beneficial interests held therein. In the case where any final payment of principal and interest is to be made on any Note (other than on the Stated Maturity Date thereof) the Issuer or, upon Issuer Request, the Note Administrator, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall not more than thirty (30) nor fewer than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, mail to the Persons entitled thereto at their addresses appearing on the Notes Register, a notice which shall state the date on which such payment will be made and the amount of such payment and shall specify the place where such Notes may be presented and surrendered for such payment.

(f) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.7(a) and Section 2.7(d) hereof, Holders of Notes as of the 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 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 Paying Agent shall be held for payment as herein provided at the office or agency of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2 (or returned to the Trustee).

-76-

(g) Interest on any 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 Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest.

(h) Payments of principal to Holders of the Notes of each Class shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes of such Class registered in the name of each such Holder on such Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Notes of such Class on such Record Date.

(i) Interest accrued with respect to the Notes shall be calculated as described in the applicable form of Note attached hereto.

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

(k) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and the Co-Issuer under the Offered Notes, this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents are limited-recourse obligations of the Issuer and non-recourse obligations of the Co-Issuer and, with respect to the Offered Notes only, are payable solely from the Collateral and following realization of the Collateral, all obligations of the Co-Issuers and any claims of the Noteholders, the Trustee or any other parties to any Transaction Documents shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of the Notes against any Officer, director, employee, shareholder, limited partner or incorporator of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any of their respective successors or assigns for any amounts payable under the Notes or this Indenture. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 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 Notes or secured by this Indenture (to the extent it relates to the obligation to make payments on the Notes) until such Collateral have been realized, whereupon any outstanding indebtedness or obligation in respect of the Notes, this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer or the Co-Issuer as a party defendant in any Proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Notes or this Indenture, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity.

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

-77-

(m) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions with respect to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes (but subject to Sections 2.7(e) and (h)), if the 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 and the provisions of Section 5.5 are not applicable, then payments of principal of and interest on such Notes shall be made in accordance with Section 5.7 hereof.

(n) Payments in respect of the Preferred Shares as contemplated by Sections 11.1(a)(i)(21), 11.1(a)(ii)(18) and 11.1(a)(iii)(19) shall be made by the Paying Agent to the Preferred Share Paying Agent.

-78-

(iii) if a holder of a Definitive Note wishes at any time to exchange such Definitive Note for one or more Definitive Notes or transfer such Definitive Note to a transferee who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note in accordance with this Section 2.10, such holder may effect such exchange or transfer upon receipt by the Notes Registrar of (A) a Holder’s Definitive Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee, and (B) duly completed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit C-3, upon receipt of which the Notes Registrar shall then cancel such Definitive Note in accordance herewith, record the transfer in the Notes Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and upon execution by the Co-Issuers, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Notes bearing the same designation as the Definitive Note endorsed for transfer, registered in the names specified in the assignment described in clause (A) above, in principal amounts designated by the transferee (the aggregate of such principal amounts being equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note surrendered by the transferor); or

(iv) in the event that the Depository notifies the Issuer and the Co-Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for a Global Note or if at any time such Depository ceases to be a “Clearing Agency” registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depository is not appointed by the Issuer within ninety (90) days of such notice, the Global Notes deposited with the Depository pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof subject to the procedures and conditions set forth in this Section 2.10.

(b) Any Global Note that is exchanged for a Definitive Note shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Note Administrator’s Corporate Trust Office together with necessary instruction for the registration and delivery of a Definitive Note to the beneficial owners (or such owner’s nominee) holding the ownership interests in such Global Note. Any such transfer shall be made, without charge, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of the same Class and authorized denominations. Any Definitive Notes delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.5(f), bear the applicable legend set forth in Exhibits C-1 or C-2, as applicable, and shall be subject to the transfer restrictions referred to in such applicable legend. The Holder of each such registered individual Global Note may transfer such Global Note by surrendering it at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note Administrator, or at the office of the Paying Agent.

(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 Notes.

(d) [Reserved]

(e) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.10(a) above, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly make available to the Notes Registrar a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes.

-79-

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

If temporary Definitive Notes are issued, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall cause permanent Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. The Definitive Notes shall be printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, or provided by any combination thereof, or in any other manner permitted by the rules and regulations of any applicable notes exchange, all as determined by the Officers executing such Definitive Notes. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the applicable temporary Definitive Notes at the office or agency maintained by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer for such purpose, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Definitive Note, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor the same aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

Section 2.11 U.S. Tax Treatment of Notes and the Issuer.

(a) Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer intends that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) the Notes (unless held by Sub-REIT or any entity disregarded as an entity separate from Sub-REIT) be treated as debt, (ii) 100% of the Retained Securities and 100% of the ordinary shares of the Issuer be owned by the Retention Holder, an entity disregarded as separate from Sub-REIT, and (iii) the Issuer be treated as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary or other disregarded entity of a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes (unless, in the case of clause (iii), the Issuer has received a No Trade or Business Opinion). Each prospective purchaser and any subsequent transferee of a Note or any interest therein shall, by virtue of its purchase or other acquisition of such Note or interest therein, be deemed to have agreed to treat such Note in a manner consistent with the preceding sentence for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(b) The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall account for the Notes and prepare any reports to Noteholders and tax authorities consistent with the intentions expressed in Section 2.11(a) above.

(c) Each Holder of Notes shall timely furnish to the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or their respective agents any completed U.S. federal income tax form or certification, such as IRS Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Individuals)), IRS Form W-8BEN-E (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Entities)) IRS Form W-8IMY (Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign Flow-Through Entity, or Certain U.S. Branches for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting), IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification), or IRS Form W-8ECI (Certificate of Foreign Person’s

-80-

Claim that Income is Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States) or any successors to such IRS forms that the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or their respective agents may reasonably request and shall update or replace such forms or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments. Furthermore, Noteholders shall timely furnish any information required pursuant to Section 2.7(c).

(d) The Issuer shall be responsible for all calculations of original issue discount on the Notes, if any.

(e) Each prospective purchaser, any subsequent transferee, and each Holder of a Note or any interest therein shall, by virtue of its purchase or other acquisition of such Note or interest therein, be deemed to agree (i) to provide accurate information and documentation that may be required for the Issuer to comply with FATCA and (ii) that the Issuer may (x) provide such information and documentation and any other information concerning its investment in such Notes to the IRS and any other relevant tax authority and (y) take any other actions necessary for the Issuer to comply with ▇▇▇▇▇.

(f) The Retention Holder, by acceptance of the Retained Securities and the ordinary shares of the Issuer, agrees to take no action inconsistent with such treatment and, for so long as any Note is Outstanding, agrees not to sell, transfer, convey, setover, pledge or encumber any Retained Securities and/or the ordinary shares of the Issuer, except to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 2.5(n).

Section 2.12 Authenticating Agents.

Upon the request of the Issuer and, in the case of the Offered Notes, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator shall, and if the Note Administrator so chooses the Note Administrator may, pursuant to this Indenture, appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 8.5 hereof, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by such Sections to authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes by the Note Administrator.

Any corporation or banking association into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or banking association 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 Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer. The Note Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent, the Trustee, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Note Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer.

-81-

The Note Administrator agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent appointed by it from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating thereto and the Note Administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to Section 6.7 hereof. The provisions of Sections 2.9, 6.4 and 6.5 hereof shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

Section 2.13 Forced Sale on Failure to Comply with Restrictions.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture, any transfer of a Note or interest therein to a U.S. Person who is determined not to have been both (1) a QIB or an IAI and (2) a Qualified Purchaser at the time of acquisition of the Note or interest therein, or any transfer of a Note or interest therein that could result in the Issuer being subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or that could constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, in any case, shall be null and void and any such proposed transfer of which the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator or the Trustee shall have written notice (which includes via electronic mail) may be disregarded by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee for all purposes.

(b) If the Issuer determines that any Holder of a Note has not satisfied the applicable requirement described in Section 2.13(a) above or such person is a Non-Permitted AML Holder (any such Person a “Non-Permitted Holder”), then the Issuer shall promptly after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted Holder by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent (and notice by the Paying Agent or the Co-Issuer to the Issuer, if either of them makes the discovery), send notice (or cause notice to be sent) 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 thirty (30) days (ten days in the case of a Non-Permitted Holder for ERISA-related reasons) of the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted Holder fails to so transfer its Note or interest therein, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such Note or interest therein to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer, or a third party acting on behalf of the Issuer, may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Note, and selling such Note to the highest such bidder. However, the Issuer may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of such 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 Note, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Note Administrator to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this Section 2.13(b) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and the Issuer shall not be liable to any Person having an interest in the Note sold as a result of any such sale or exercise of such discretion.

-82-

(c) If the Issuer (or its agent on its behalf) determines that a Holder has failed for any reason to (i) comply with the Holder AML Obligations (ii) such information or documentation is not accurate or complete, or (iii) the Issuer otherwise reasonably determines that such holder’s acquisition, holding or transfer of an interest in any Note would cause the Issuer to be unable to achieve AML Compliance (any such person a “Non-Permitted AML Holder”), then the Issuer (or its agent acting on its behalf) shall promptly after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted AML Holder by the Issuer (or its agent on its behalf), send notice (or cause notice to be sent) to such Non-Permitted AML Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted AML Holder transfer its interest to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted AML Holder within thirty (30) days of the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted AML Holder fails to so transfer its Note or interest therein, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted AML Holder, to sell such Note or interest therein to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted AML Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer, or a third party acting on behalf of the Issuer, may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Note, and selling such Note to the highest such bidder. However, the Issuer may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of such Note, the Non-Permitted AML Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted AML Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Note, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Note Administrator to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted AML Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this Section 2.13(c) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and the Issuer shall not be liable to any Person having an interest in the Note sold as a result of any such sale or exercise of such discretion.

Section 2.14 No Gross Up.

The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes as a result of any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges.

Section 2.15 Credit Risk Retention.

The EU/UK Retention Holder shall timely deliver (or cause to be timely delivered) to the Trustee and the Note Administrator any notices contemplated by Section 10.12(a)(v) of this Indenture, in accordance with the notice provisions of the EU/UK Risk Retention Letter.

Section 2.16 Benchmark Transition Event.

(a) The Benchmark Agent shall provide written notice to the Issuer, the Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager, the Calculation Agent (if different from the Note Administrator), the Servicer and the Special Servicer promptly after the Benchmark Agent has determined that a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred. After the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and the related Benchmark Replacement Date with respect to the then-current Benchmark, such Benchmark shall be replaced with the applicable Benchmark Replacement as determined by the Benchmark Agent. The Benchmark Agent shall provide written notice of such determination of the Benchmark Replacement to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Advancing Agent, the Note Administrator (who shall post such notice to the Note Administrator’s Website), the Calculation Agent (if different from the Note

-83-

Administrator), the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Website) in advance of such Benchmark Replacement Date. Notwithstanding the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, amounts payable on the Notes shall be determined with respect to the then-current Benchmark until the occurrence of the related Benchmark Replacement Date.

(b) [Reserved]

(c) In connection with the occurrence of any Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, the Benchmark Agent shall direct the parties hereto to enter into a supplemental indenture in accordance with Section 8.1(b)(iv) to make any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, if any, as the Benchmark Agent determines may be necessary or desirable to administer, implement or adopt the applicable Benchmark or the Benchmark Replacement and the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment. In connection with each Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, the Benchmark Agent shall propose to the Issuer, the Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Calculation Agent (if different from the Note Administrator), the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, if any, to be made in such supplemental indenture to administer, implement or adopt the applicable Benchmark or the Benchmark Replacement and Benchmark Replacement Adjustment in accordance with Section 8.1(a)(v). Any failure to supplement this Indenture pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(iv) and/or (v) on or prior to the Benchmark Replacement Date shall not affect the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement on such Benchmark Replacement Date, it being understood such matters shall be binding upon the parties as described in clause (e) below pending the execution and delivery of any such amendment.

(d) [Reserved]

(e) Any determination, implementation, adoption, decision, proposal or election that may be made by the Benchmark Agent pursuant to this Section 2.16, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes including any determination with respect to a tenor, observation period, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and the Noteholders absent manifest error, may be made in the sole discretion of the Benchmark Agent and may be relied upon by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Advancing Agent, the Collateral Manager, the Calculation Agent (if different from the Note Administrator), the Servicer and the Special Servicer without investigation.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Benchmark Agent may send any notices with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or any other determination or selection made under this Section 2.16, by email (or other electronic communication).

-84-

(g) Each holder of an interest in any Note or Preferred Share, by the acceptance of its interest, shall be deemed to have irrevocably (i) agreed to the provisions of this Section 2.16, (ii) agreed that the Benchmark Agent shall have no liability for any action taken or omitted by it or its agents in the performance of its role under this Section 2.16 as Benchmark Agent and (iii) released the Benchmark Agent from any claim or action whatsoever relating to its performance under this Section 2.16 as Benchmark Agent.

Section 2.17 Exchangeable Notes; Exchange of MASCOT Notes.

(a) At any time on or after the Initial MASCOT Note Issuance Date, all or a portion of the Class F Notes and the Class G Notes (such Notes to be exchanged, the “Exchangeable Notes”) may be exchanged for proportionate interests in one or more classes of certain other Notes and vice versa (such Notes received in such an exchange, the “Exchanged Notes”); provided that such Notes shall only be Exchangeable Notes and be exchangeable for proportionate interests in the corresponding MASCOT Notes if such Notes at the time of the exchange are owned by a wholly owned subsidiary of Sub-REIT. The Exchangeable Notes may be exchanged by the Holders thereof for (1) a corresponding MASCOT P&I Note with the same principal balance as such Exchangeable Notes surrendered in the exchange but with a reduced Note Interest Rate, and (2) a corresponding MASCOT Interest Only Note that has a notional amount equal to the principal balance of the corresponding MASCOT P&I Note received in such exchange and a fixed interest rate equal to such reduction in Note Interest Rate. Specifically, with respect to the exchange of Exchangeable Notes for corresponding MASCOT Notes, the per annum interest rates payable on the corresponding MASCOT P&I Notes and the corresponding MASCOT Interest Only Notes shall be determined, on the date of such exchange, by the Holder of the Exchangeable Notes surrendered in such exchange. The aggregate interest rates of the Exchanged Notes received in the exchange shall equal the aggregate interest rate of the Exchangeable Notes surrendered for exchange. The MASCOT Interest Only Notes are not entitled to any payments of principal and shall have an Aggregate Outstanding Amount of zero.

(b)

(i) With respect to the exchange of Exchangeable Notes for corresponding MASCOT Notes, each of (A) the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the corresponding MASCOT P&I Note received in the exchange and (B) the Aggregate Outstanding Notional Amount of the MASCOT Interest Only Note received in the exchange shall equal the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of such Exchangeable Notes exchanged. The MASCOT Interest Only Notes are not entitled to any payments of principal and have an Aggregate Outstanding Amount of zero.

(ii) The aggregate Note Interest Rates of the Exchanged Notes received in the exchange must equal the aggregate Note Interest Rate of the corresponding Exchangeable Notes surrendered for exchange.

(c) Exchanges of the Exchangeable Notes for MASCOT Notes and any subsequent exchange of such MASCOT Notes for the Exchangeable Notes may occur repeatedly.

-85-

(d) With respect to an exchange of some or all of the Exchangeable Notes, as applicable, the Holders of such corresponding MASCOT P&I Notes shall be entitled to exercise all the voting rights (including any rights as the Controlling Class) and objection rights that are allocated to such exchanged Exchangeable Notes, as applicable, and the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of such MASCOT P&I Notes shall be used to determine if the requisite percentage of Holders under this Indenture has voted, consented or otherwise given direction; provided that, in connection with any supplemental indenture that affects a Class of MASCOT Notes in a manner that is materially different from the effect of such supplemental indenture on the corresponding Exchangeable Notes, the Holders of the applicable MASCOT Notes shall vote as a separate class.

(e) The MASCOT Interest Only Notes are interest-only notes that receive interest payments but do not receive principal payments. Interest on the MASCOT Interest Only Notes is calculated on a balance equal to the Aggregate Outstanding Notional Amount of such MASCOT Interest Only Notes which shall, as of any date, equal the Aggregate Outstanding Amount on such date of the related MASCOT P&I Note.

(f) In order to effect any single exchange of Exchangeable Notes, the Holder shall submit a duly executed Officer’s Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L to the Note Administrator no earlier than ten (10) Business Days before the proposed exchange date and no later than five (5) Business Days before the proposed exchange date. Such Officer’s Certificate shall be in writing and may be by email to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇. The Officer’s Certificate must be on the Holder’s letterhead, carry proof of ownership and a medallion stamp guarantee and set forth the following information: (i) the CUSIP number of each Exchangeable Note and Exchanged Note; (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Amount and the Aggregate Outstanding Notional Amount, as applicable, of the Notes to be exchanged; (iii) the Holder’s DTC participant name and numbers to be debited and credited; and (iv) the proposed exchange date. The exchange date with respect to any exchange may be any Business Day other than (1) the first or last Business Day of the month, (2) any Payment Date, (3) any Record Date or (4) any day between a Record Date and the next Payment Date. Any such notice shall become irrevocable on the second Business Day before the proposed exchange date. The Holder must pay the Note Administrator a fee equal to $5,000 for each exchange request and such fee must be received by the Note Administrator prior to the exchange date or such exchange shall not be effected. In addition, any Holder wishing to effect such an exchange must pay any other expenses related to such exchange, including any fees incurred by the Note Administrator or charged by DTC. The Note Administrator shall make the first payment on any Exchanged Note received by a Holder in an exchange transaction on the Payment Date related to the next Record Date following the effective date of such exchange. Any such exchange will be subject to the rules and procedures of DTC. Any Holder requesting an exchange shall deliver any documents or information requested by the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee or the Note Administrator in connection with such exchange. Upon compliance by the Holder with the foregoing requirements, the Note Administrator shall approve the instructions at DTC to effect the exchange.

(g) No exchange of any Exchangeable Note or any Exchanged Note shall be permitted unless the Issuer receives a No Entity-Level Tax Opinion with respect to such exchange; provided that such No Entity-Level Tax Opinion shall not be required if such exchange is with an affiliate that is directly or indirectly wholly owned by Sub-REIT and is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an entity separate from Sub-REIT.

Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing (other than the Events of Default specified in Section 5.1(f) or 5.1(g)), the Trustee may (and shall at the direction of a Majority, by outstanding principal amount, of each Class of Notes voting as a separate Class (excluding any Notes owned by the Issuer, the Seller, the Collateral Manager or any of their respective Affiliates)), declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be immediately due and payable (and any such acceleration shall automatically terminate the

-105-

Reinvestment Period). Upon any such declaration such principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and other amounts payable thereunder in accordance with the Priority of Payments shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(f) or 5.1(g) above occurs, such an acceleration shall occur automatically and without any further action and any such acceleration shall automatically terminate the Reinvestment Period. If the Notes are accelerated, payments shall be made in the order and priority set forth in Section 11.1(a) hereof.

(b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration of Maturity of the Notes has been made, and before a judgment or decree for payment of the amounts due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article 5, a Majority of each Class of Notes (voting as a separate Class) (excluding any Notes owned by any Collateral Manager Related Parties), other than with respect to an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(d), 5.1(f), 5.1(g), or 5.1(i), by written notice to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

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

(A) all unpaid installments of interest on and principal on the Notes that would be due and payable hereunder if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred;

(B) all unpaid taxes of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, Company Administrative Expenses and other sums paid or advanced by or otherwise due and payable to the Note Administrator or to the Trustee hereunder;

(C) with respect to the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee, any amount due and payable for unreimbursed Interest Advances and Reimbursement Interest; and

(D) with respect to the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Collateral Manager, any Collateral Manager Fee then due and any Company Administrative Expenses due and payable under the Servicing Agreement or the Collateral Management Agreement; and

(ii) the Trustee has received notice that all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the interest and principal on the 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 notice (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or waived as provided in Section 5.14.

At any such time that the Trustee, subject to Section 5.2(b), shall rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences as permitted hereinabove, the Collateral shall be preserved in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5 with respect to the Event of Default that gave rise to such declaration; provided, however, that if such preservation of the Collateral is rescinded pursuant to Section 5.5, the Notes may be accelerated pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 5.2, notwithstanding any previous rescission and annulment of a declaration of acceleration pursuant to this paragraph.

-106-

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

(c) Subject to Sections 5.4 and 5.5, a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right to direct the Trustee in the conduct of any Proceedings for any remedy available to the Trustee or in the sale of any or all of the Collateral; provided that (i) such direction will not conflict with any rule of law or with any express provision of this Indenture; (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; (iii) the Trustee has received security or indemnity satisfactory to it; and (iv) notwithstanding the foregoing, any direction to undertake a sale of the Collateral may be made only as described in Section 5.17. The Trustee shall be entitled to refuse to take any action absent such direction.

(d) As security for the payment by the Issuer of the compensation and expenses of the Trustee, the Note Administrator, and any sums the Trustee or Note Administrator shall be entitled to receive as indemnification by the Issuer, the Issuer hereby grants the Trustee a lien on the Collateral, which lien is senior to the lien of the Noteholders. The Trustee’s lien shall be subject to the Priority of Payments and exercisable by the Trustee only if the Notes have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled.

(e) A Majority of each Class of Notes may, prior to the time a judgment or decree for the payment of amounts due has been obtained by the Trustee, waive any past Default on behalf of the holders of all the Notes and its consequences in accordance with Section 5.14.

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

(a) The Issuer covenants that if a Default shall occur in respect of the payment of any interest and principal on any Class of Notes (but only after any amounts payable pursuant to Section 11.1(a) having a higher priority have been paid in full), the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall, upon demand of the Trustee or any affected Noteholder, pay to the Note Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holder of such Note, the whole amount, if any, then due and payable on such Note for principal and interest or other payment with interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent that payments of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable interest rate and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Note Administrator, the Trustee and such Noteholder and their respective agents and counsel.

If the Issuer or the Co-Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, as Trustee of an express trust, and at the expense of the Issuer, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the amounts adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Collateral.

-107-

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such Proceedings (x) as directed by a Majority of the Controlling Class or (y) in the absence of direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class, as determined by the Trustee acting in good faith; provided, that (a) such direction must not conflict with any rule of law or with any express provision of this Indenture, (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction, (c) the Trustee has been provided with security or indemnity satisfactory to it, and (d) notwithstanding the foregoing, any direction to the Trustee to undertake a sale of Collateral may be given only in accordance with the preceding paragraph, in connection with any sale and liquidation of all or a portion of the Collateral, the preceding sentence, and, in all cases, the applicable provisions of this Indenture. Such Proceedings shall be used 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. Any direction to the Trustee to undertake a sale of Collateral shall be forwarded to the Special Servicer, and the Special Servicer shall conduct any such sale in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement.

In the case where (x) there shall be pending Proceedings relative to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer under the Bankruptcy Code, any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law enacted under the laws of the Cayman Islands, or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, (y) 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 the Co-Issuer, or their respective property, or (z) there shall be any other comparable Proceedings relative to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, or the creditors or property of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, regardless of whether the principal of any 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, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

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

(ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Noteholders in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or of a Person performing similar functions in comparable Proceedings; and

-108-

(iii) to collect and receive (or cause the Note Administrator to collect and receive) any amounts or other property payable to or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute (or cause the Note Administrator to distribute) all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the Trustee on their behalf; the Secured Parties, and any trustee, receiver or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Noteholders to make payments to the Trustee (or the Note Administrator on its behalf), and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee and the Note Administrator such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee and the Note Administrator, each predecessor trustee and note administrator, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, and each predecessor backup advancing agent.

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

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any action or Proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, the Trustee may not sell or liquidate the Collateral or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.3 unless the conditions specified in Section 5.5(a) are met and any sale of Collateral contemplated to be conducted by the Trustee under this Indenture shall be effected by the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, and the Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for or in connection with any such sale.

Section 5.4 Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Notes have been declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer agree that the Trustee, or, with respect to any sale of any Collateral Interests, the Special Servicer, may, after notice to the Note Administrator and the Noteholders, and shall, upon 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 Notes or otherwise payable under this Indenture (whether by declaration or otherwise), enforce any judgment obtained and collect from the Collateral any amounts adjudged due;

-109-

(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 hereof (provided that any such sale shall be conducted by the Special Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement);

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

provided, however, that no sale or liquidation of the Collateral or institution of Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.4 may be effected unless either of the conditions specified in Section 5.5(a) are met.

The Issuer shall, at the Issuer’s expense, upon request of the Trustee or the Special Servicer, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm as to the feasibility of any action proposed to be taken in accordance with this Section 5.4 and as to the sufficiency of the proceeds and other amounts expected to be received with respect to the Collateral to make the required payments of principal of and interest on the Notes and other amounts payable hereunder, which opinion shall be conclusive evidence as to such feasibility or sufficiency.

(b) If an Event of Default as described in Section 5.1(e) hereof shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, and at the 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 such Section, and enforce any equitable decree or order arising from such Proceeding.

(c) Upon any Sale in connection with an Event of Default, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, any Noteholder, Preferred Shareholder, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer or the Special Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates 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 Notes in lieu of Cash equal to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable on the Notes so turned in by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (taking into account the Class of such Notes). Such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall either be returned to the Holders thereof after proper notation has been made thereon to show partial payment or a new note shall be delivered to the Holders reflecting the reduced interest thereon.

-110-

Upon any Sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, the receipt of the Note Administrator 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 (x) bind the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Noteholders and the Preferred Shareholders, 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 (y) 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 or any other Transaction Document, none of the Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Note Administrator or any other Secured Party, any other party to any Transaction Document, the Holder of the Notes and the holders of the equity in the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or third party beneficiary of this Indenture may, prior to the date which is one year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect (including any period established pursuant to the laws of the Cayman Islands)) and one day after the payment in full of all Notes, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Issuer Permitted Subsidiary, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under federal or State bankruptcy or similar laws of any jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, or any other Secured Party or any other party to any Transaction Document (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect (including any period established pursuant to the laws of the Cayman Islands)) and one day period in (A) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or (B) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Trustee, the Note Administrator or any other Secured Party or any other party to any Transaction Document, or (ii) from commencing against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or any of their respective properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceeding.

Section 5.5 Preservation of Collateral.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing when any of the Notes are Outstanding, the Trustee and the Note Administrator, as applicable, shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted or required under this Indenture) retain the Collateral, collect and cause the collection of the proceeds thereof and make and apply all payments and deposits and maintain all accounts in respect of the Collateral and the Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the provisions of Articles 10, 12 and 13 and shall not sell or liquidate the Collateral, unless either:

(i) the Note Administrator, pursuant to Section 5.5(c), determines (based upon information delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture) that the anticipated proceeds of a sale or liquidation of the Collateral (after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation) would be sufficient to discharge in full the amounts then due and unpaid on the Notes, Company Administrative Expenses due and payable pursuant to the Priority

-111-

of Payments, the Collateral Manager Fees due and payable pursuant to the Priority of Payments and amounts due and payable to the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee in respect of unreimbursed Interest Advances and Reimbursement Interest, for principal and interest (including accrued and unpaid Deferred Interest), and, upon receipt of information from Persons (including the Servicer and the Special Servicer) to whom fees are expenses are payable, all other amounts payable prior to payment of principal on the Notes due and payable pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(iii) and the holders of a Majority of the Controlling Class agrees with such determination; or

(ii) a Supermajority of each Class of Notes (each voting as a separate Class) directs the sale and liquidation of all or a portion of the Collateral.

In the event of a sale of all or a portion of the Collateral pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall sell that portion of the Collateral identified by the requisite Noteholders and all proceeds of such sale shall be remitted to the Note Administrator for distribution in the order set forth in Section 11.1(a). The Note Administrator shall give written notice of the retention of the Collateral by the Custodian to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Rating Agencies. So long as such Event of Default is continuing, any such retention pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) may be rescinded at any time when the conditions specified in clause (i) or (ii) above exist.

(b) Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require a sale of the Collateral securing the Offered Notes 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 securing the Offered Notes if prohibited by applicable law.

(c) In determining whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Collateral Manager shall obtain bid prices with respect to each Collateral Interest from two dealers (Independent of the Collateral Manager and any of its Affiliates) at the time making a market in such Collateral Interests that, at that time, engage in the trading, origination or securitization of whole loans or interests therein similar to the Collateral Interests (or, if only one such dealer can be engaged, then the Collateral Manager shall obtain a bid price from such dealer or, if no such dealer can be engaged, from a pricing service). The Collateral Manager shall compute the anticipated proceeds of sale or liquidation on the basis of the lowest of such bid prices for each such Collateral Interest and provide the Trustee and the Note Administrator with the results thereof. For the purposes of determining issues relating to the market value of any Collateral Interest and the execution of a sale or other liquidation thereof, the Collateral Manager may, but need not, retain at the expense of the Issuer and rely on an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation or other appropriate advisors (the cost of which shall be payable as a Company Administrative Expense) in connection with a determination as to whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists.

The Note Administrator shall promptly deliver to the Noteholders, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Collateral Manager, and the Note Administrator shall post to the Note Administrator’s Website, a report stating the results of any determination required to be made pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i).

Section 5.6 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.

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

In any Proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) in respect of the Notes, the Trustee shall be deemed to represent all the Holders of the Notes.

Section 5.7 Application of Amounts Collected.

Any amounts collected by the Note Administrator with respect to the Notes pursuant to this Article 5 and any amounts that may then be held or thereafter received by the Note Administrator with respect to the Notes hereunder shall be applied subject to Section 13.1 hereof and in accordance with the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 11.1(a)(iii) hereof, at the date or dates fixed by the Note Administrator.

Section 5.8 Limitation on Suits.

No Holder of any Notes shall have any right to institute any Proceedings (the right of a Noteholder to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or the Notes is subject to any non-petition covenants set forth in this Indenture or the Notes), judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

(b) except as otherwise provided in Section 5.9 hereof, the Holders of at least 25% by Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute Proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder and such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

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

(d) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such thirty (30)-day period by a Majority of the Controlling Class; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or the Notes to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes of the same Class or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders of the Notes of the same Class or to enforce any right under this Indenture or the Notes, except in the manner herein or therein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Notes of the same Class subject to and in accordance with Section 13.1 hereof and the Priority of Payments.

-113-

In the event the Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of the Controlling Class, each representing less than a Majority of the Controlling Class, the Trustee shall not be required to take any action until it shall have received the direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class.

Section 5.9 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture (except for Section 2.7(d) and 2.7(m)), the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Note as such principal, interest and other amounts become due and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Section 13.1, and, subject to the provisions of Sections 5.4 and 5.8 to institute Proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder; provided, however, that the right of such Holder to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment shall not be subject to the 25% threshold requirement set forth in Section 5.8(b).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time when the Retention Holder holds 100% of the Preferred Shares, the Retention Holder may designate all or any portion of the available funds that would otherwise be distributed by the Paying Agent for payment on the Preferred Shares, for deposit into the Payment Account as a contribution to the Issuer. Any such amounts paid to the Issuer as a contribution shall be deemed for all purposes as having been paid by the Paying Agent pursuant to the Priority of Payments in this Indenture.

Section 5.10 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

Section 5.11 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

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

-114-

Section 5.12 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein or a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default. Every right and remedy given by this Article 5 or by law to the Trustee, or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

Section 5.13 Control by the Controlling Class.

Subject to Sections 5.2(a) and (b), but notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing when any of the Notes are Outstanding, a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right to cause the institution of, and direct the time, method and place of conducting, any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee and for exercising any trust, right, remedy or power conferred on the Trustee in respect of the Notes; provided that:

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

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

(d) notwithstanding the foregoing, any direction to the Trustee to undertake a Sale of the Collateral shall be performed by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, and must satisfy the requirements of Section 5.5.

Section 5.14 Waiver of Past Defaults.

Prior to the time a judgment or decree for payment of the amounts due has been obtained by the Trustee, as provided in this Article 5, a Majority of each and every Class of Notes (voting as a separate Class) may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, waive any past Default in respect of the Notes and its consequences, except a Default:

(a) in the payment of principal of any Note;

(b) in the payment of interest in respect of the Controlling Class;

(c) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that, under Section 8.2, cannot be modified or amended without the waiver or consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note adversely affected thereby; or

-115-

(d) in respect of any right, covenant or provision hereof for the individual protection or benefit of the Trustee or the Note Administrator, without the Trustee’s or the Note Administrator’s express written consent thereto, as applicable.

In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

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. Any such waiver shall be effectuated upon receipt by the Trustee and the Note Administrator of a written waiver by such Majority of each Class of Notes.

Section 5.15 Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its 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 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by (x) the Trustee, (y) any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class or (z) any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable hereunder on or after the Stated Maturity Date (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date).

Section 5.16 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, 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 (including but not limited to filing a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and by the voluntary commencement of a proceeding or the filing of a petition seeking winding up, liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect), which may affect the covenants, the performance of or any remedies under this Indenture; and each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

-116-

Section 5.17 Sale of Collateral.

(a) The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Collateral pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5 hereof shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of such Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until all amounts secured by the Collateral shall have been paid or if there are insufficient proceeds to pay such amount until the entire Collateral shall have been sold. The Special Servicer may, upon notice to the Securityholders, and shall, upon direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, from time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale; provided, however, that if the Sale is rescheduled for a date more than three (3) Business Days after the date of the determination by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i) hereof, such Sale shall not occur unless and until the Special Servicer has again made the determination required by Section 5.5(a)(i) hereof. The Trustee hereby expressly waives its rights to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale; provided that the Special Servicer shall be authorized to deduct the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by it, or by the Trustee or the Note Administrator in connection with such Sale from the proceeds thereof notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7 hereof.

(b) The Notes need not be produced in order to complete any such Sale, or in order for the net proceeds of such Sale to be credited against amounts owing on the Notes.

(c) The Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof, which, in the case of any Collateral Interests, shall be upon request and delivery of any such instruments by the Special Servicer. In addition, the Special Servicer, with respect to Collateral Interests, and the Trustee, with respect to any other Collateral, 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 take all action necessary to effect such Sale. No purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee’s or Special Servicer’s authority, to inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or to see to the application of any amounts.

(d) In the event of any Sale of the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.4 or Section 5.5, payments shall be made in the order and priority set forth in Section 11.1(a) in the same manner as if the Notes had been accelerated.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any sale by the Trustee of any portion of the Collateral shall be executed by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Issuer, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability therefor.

Section 5.18 Action on the Notes.

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

THE TRUSTEE AND THE NOTE ADMINISTRATOR

(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) each of the Trustee and the Note Administrator undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee or the Note Administrator; and any permissive right of the Trustee or the Note Administrator contained herein shall not be construed as a duty; and

(ii) in the absence of manifest error, or bad faith on its part, each of the Note Administrator and 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 the Note Administrator, as the case may be, 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 or the Note Administrator, the Trustee and the Note Administrator shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform 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 or the Note Administrator within fifteen (15) days after such notice from the Trustee or the Note Administrator, the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, shall notify the party providing such instrument and requesting the correction thereof.

(b) In case an Event of Default actually known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee or the Note Administrator has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from a Majority of the Controlling Class (or other Noteholders to the extent provided in Article 5 hereof), 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) If, in performing its duties under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Note Administrator is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Trustee and the Note Administrator may request written instructions from, prior to an Event of Default, the Collateral Manager, and after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class, as to courses of action desired by it. If the Trustee and the Note Administrator does not receive such instructions within two (2) Business Days after it has requested them, it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action. The Trustee and the Note Administrator shall

-118-

act in accordance with instructions received after such two (2) Business Day period except to the extent it has already taken, or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions. The Trustee and the Note Administrator shall be entitled to request and rely on the advice of legal counsel and Independent accountants in performing its duties hereunder and be deemed to have acted in good faith and shall not be subject to any liability if it acts in accordance with such advice.

(d) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Note Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be liable:

(i) for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it shall be proven that it was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; or

(ii) with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, and/or a Majority of the Controlling Class relating to the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Note Administrator in respect of any Note or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Note Administrator under this Indenture.

(e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee or the Note Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it unless such risk or liability relates to its ordinary services under this Indenture, except where this Indenture provides otherwise.

(f) Neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be liable to the Noteholders for any action taken or omitted by it at the direction of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class, the Trustee (in the case of the Note Administrator), the Note Administrator (in the case of the Trustee) and/or a Noteholder under circumstances in which such direction is required or permitted by the terms of this Indenture.

(g) Neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall have any obligation to verify the compliance by the Issuer, the EU/UK Retention Holder or the Retention Holder with the U.S. Credit Risk Retention Rules or the EU/UK Risk Retention Letter.

(h) Neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator (including in its capacity as Calculation Agent) shall have any (i) liability or responsibility for the selection of an alternative rate as a successor or replacement benchmark and shall be entitled to rely upon any designation of such a rate by the Benchmark Agent and by the Benchmark Agent and (ii) liability for any failure or delay in performing its duties under this Indenture as a result of the unavailability of Term SOFR or the Benchmark Replacement, in each case as described in the definition thereof. The Note Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon the notices provided by the Benchmark Agent facilitating or specifying the Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and such other administrative procedures with respect to the calculation of any Benchmark Replacement.

-119-

(i) For all purposes under this Indenture, neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Trust Officer of either the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, 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 or the Note Administrator, as applicable at the respective Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. For purposes of determining the Trustee’s and the Note Administrator’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 or the Note Administrator, as applicable, is deemed to have notice as described in this Section 6.1.

(j) The Trustee and the Note Administrator shall, upon reasonable prior written notice, permit the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and their designees, during its normal business hours, to review all books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Trustee relating to the Notes and to make copies and extracts therefrom (the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in making any such copies or extracts to be reimbursed to the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, by such Person).

(k) Upon written request, the Trustee and the Note Administrator shall provide to the Issuer, the Placement Agents or any agent thereof any information specified by such parties regarding the Holders of the Notes and payments on the Notes that is reasonably available to the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as the case may be, and may be necessary for FATCA compliance, subject in all cases to confidentiality provisions.

(e) neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be under any obligation to exercise or to honor any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, or to make any investigation of matters arising hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Trustee and the Note Administrator, as applicable indemnity acceptable to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might reasonably be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

(k) to the extent any defined term hereunder, or any calculation required to be made or determined by the Trustee or Note Administrator hereunder, is dependent upon or defined by reference to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States in effect from time to time (“GAAP”), the Trustee and the Note Administrator shall be entitled to request and receive (and rely upon) instruction from the Issuer or the accountants appointed pursuant to Section 10.12 as to the application of GAAP in such connection, in any instance;

(p) neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the trusts created hereby or the powers granted hereunder;

(iv) to pay the Trustee and the Note Administrator reasonable additional compensation together with its expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) for any collection action taken pursuant to Section 6.13 hereof.

This provision shall survive termination of this Indenture.

-124-

(d) The Trustee and the Note Administrator agree that the payment of all amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to Sections 6.7(a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iii) and (a)(iv) shall be subject to the Priority of Payments, shall be payable only to the extent funds are available in accordance with such Priority of Payments, shall be payable solely from the Collateral and following realization of the Collateral, any such claims of the Trustee or the Note Administrator against the Issuer, and all obligations of the Issuer, shall be extinguished. The Trustee will have a lien upon the Collateral to secure the payment of such payments to it in accordance with the Priority of Payments; provided that the Trustee shall not institute any proceeding for enforcement of such lien except in connection with an action taken pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof for enforcement of the lien of this Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders.

The Trustee and the Note Administrator shall receive amounts pursuant to this Section 6.7 and Section 11.1(a) only to the extent that such payment is made in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the failure to pay such amounts to the Trustee and the Note Administrator will not, by itself, constitute an Event of Default. Subject to Section 6.9, the Trustee and the Note Administrator shall continue to serve under this Indenture notwithstanding the fact that the Trustee and the Note Administrator shall not have received amounts due to it hereunder; provided that the Trustee and the Note Administrator shall not be required to expend any funds or incur any expenses unless reimbursement therefor is reasonably assured to it. No direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class shall affect the right of the Trustee and the Note Administrator to collect amounts owed to it under this Indenture.

If on any Payment Date, an amount payable to the Trustee and the Note Administrator pursuant to this Indenture is not paid because there are insufficient funds available for the payment thereof, all or any portion of such amount not so paid shall be deferred and payable on any later Payment Date on which sufficient funds are available therefor in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 6.8 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

There shall at all times be a Trustee and a Note Administrator hereunder which shall be (i) a corporation, national bank, national banking association or trust company, organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or State authority, and in each case, having an office in the United States and (ii) (a) with respect to the Note Administrator, has a long-term senior unsecured debt rating or an issuer credit rating of at least “BBB” by Fitch and “Baa3” by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, (b) with respect to the Trustee and the Backup Advancing Agent, each having (x) a long-term senior unsecured debt rating or an issuer credit rating of at least “A” by Fitch or a short-term rating of “F-1” by Fitch (to the extent rated by Fitch) and (y) a long-term counterparty risk assessment of “A2(cr)” by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or a long-term senior unsecured debt rating or an issuer credit rating of at least “A2” by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇; provided that with respect to the Backup Advancing Agent, it may maintain a long-term senior unsecured debt rating or an issuer credit rating of at least “BBB” by Fitch and “Baa3” by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ for so long as the Trustee is eligible pursuant to this Section 6.8, or (c) with respect to each of (a) and (b) above, any other rating as to which the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied from time to time. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements

-125-

Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees, or a successor Note Administrator, as the case may be, by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by an Authorized Officer of the Issuer and an Authorized Officer of the Co-Issuer, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Note Administrator or the Trustee so resigning and one copy to the successor Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager, Trustee or Trustees, together with a copy to each Noteholder, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the parties hereto and the Rating Agencies; provided that such successor Note Administrator and Trustee shall be appointed only upon the written consent of a Majority of the Notes (or if there are no Notes Outstanding, a Majority of the Preferred Shareholders) or, at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or when a successor Note Administrator and Trustee has been appointed pursuant to Section 6.10, by Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class. If no successor Note Administrator and Trustee shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee or Note Administrator shall not have been delivered to the Trustee or the Note Administrator within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Note Administrator, as the case may be, the Controlling Class or any Holder of a Note, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or a successor Note Administrator, as the case may be and, in the case of such a petition by the Trustee or the Note Administrator, at the expense of the Issuer. No resignation or removal of the Note Administrator or the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Note Administrator or Trustee will become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Note Administrator or Trustee, as applicable.

(c) The Note Administrator and Trustee may be removed at any time upon at least thirty (30) days’ written notice by Act of a Supermajority of the Noteholders (or if there are no Notes Outstanding, a Majority of the Preferred Shareholders) or when a successor Trustee has been appointed pursuant to Section 6.10, by Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class, in each case, upon written notice delivered to the parties hereto.

-126-

(d) If at any time:

(i) the Trustee or the Note Administrator shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.8 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, or by any Holder; or

(ii) the Trustee or the Note Administrator shall become incapable of acting or there shall be instituted any proceeding pursuant to which it could be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or the Note Administrator or of its respective property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Note Administrator or of its respective 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 or the Co-Issuer, by Issuer Order, may remove the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, or (b) subject to Section 5.15, a Majority of the Controlling Class or any Holder may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as the case may be, and the appointment of a successor thereto.

If the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall fail to appoint a successor Trustee or Note Administrator within thirty (30) days after such resignation, removal or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee or Note Administrator may be appointed by Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class delivered to the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the parties hereto, including the retiring Trustee or the retiring Note Administrator, as the case may be, and the successor Trustee or Note Administrator so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee or Note Administrator, as applicable, and supersede any successor Trustee or Note Administrator proposed by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer. If no successor Trustee or Note Administrator shall have been so appointed by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or a Majority of the Controlling Class and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, subject to Section 5.15, the Controlling Class or any Holder may, on behalf of itself or himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or Note Administrator.

(f) The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall give prompt notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee or Note Administrator and each appointment of a successor Trustee or Note Administrator by mailing written notice of such event by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Rating Agencies, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the other parties hereto, and to the Holders of the Notes as their names and addresses appear in the Notes Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee or Note Administrator, as the case may be, and the address of its respective Corporate Trust Office. If the Issuer or the Co-Issuer fail to mail such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee or Note Administrator, the successor Trustee or Note Administrator shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be.

-127-

(g) The resignation or removal of the Note Administrator in any capacity in which it is serving hereunder (other than as Backup Advancing Agent), including Note Administrator, Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent, Calculation Agent, Transfer Agent, Custodian and Notes Registrar, shall be deemed a resignation or removal, as applicable, in each of the other capacities in which it serves. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Note Administrator shall not be deemed to resign or be removed as Note Administrator in the event the Note Administrator is no longer acting as the Backup Advancing Agent.

Section 6.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

Every successor Trustee or Note Administrator appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the parties hereto including the retiring Trustee or the retiring Note Administrator, as the case may be, an instrument accepting such appointment. Upon delivery of the required instruments, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee or the retiring Note Administrator shall become effective and such successor Trustee or Note Administrator, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Trustee or Note Administrator, as the case may be; but, on request of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or a Majority of the Controlling Class, the Collateral Manager or the successor Trustee or Note Administrator, such retiring Trustee or Note Administrator shall, upon payment of its fees, indemnities and other amounts then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee or Note Administrator all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee or Note Administrator, as the case may be, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee or Note Administrator all property and amounts held by such retiring Trustee or Note Administrator hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 6.7(d). Upon request of any such successor Trustee or Note Administrator, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee or Note Administrator all such rights, powers and trusts.

No successor Trustee or successor Note Administrator shall accept its appointment unless (a) at the time of such acceptance such successor shall be qualified and eligible under this Article 6, (b) such successor shall have a long-term unsecured debt rating satisfying the requirements set forth in Section 6.8, and (c) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied.

In case any of the Notes have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Note Administrator then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Note Administrator may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Note Administrator had itself authenticated such Notes.

Section 6.12 Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee.

At any time or times, including, but not limited to, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, for enforcement actions, or where a conflict of interest exists, the Trustee shall have power to appoint, one or more Persons to act as co-trustee jointly with the Trustee or as a separate trustee with respect to 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 5.6 herein and to make such claims and enforce such rights of action on behalf of the Holders of the Notes as such Holders themselves may have the right to do, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.12.

Each of the Issuer and the Co-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 and the Co-Issuer do not both join in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by them of a request to do so, the Trustee shall have power to make such appointment on its own.

Should any written instrument from the Issuer or the Co-Issuer be required by any co-trustee, so appointed, more fully confirming to such co-trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be. The Issuer agrees to pay (but only from and to the extent of the Collateral) to the extent funds are available therefor under the Priority of Payments, 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) all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, ▇▇▇▇ 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 as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such 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;

-129-

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

(d) no co-trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Trustee hereunder, and any co-trustee hereunder shall be entitled to all the privileges, rights and immunities under Article 6 hereof, as if it were named the Trustee hereunder;

(e) except as required by applicable law, the appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee under this Section 6.12 shall not relieve the Trustee of its duties and responsibilities hereunder; and

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

Section 6.13 Direction to Enter into the Servicing Agreement.

The Issuer hereby directs the Trustee and the Note Administrator to enter into the Servicing Agreement.

(b) this Indenture and the Servicing Agreement have each been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee and each constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, receivership, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and (ii) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought;

-130-

(c) neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Indenture or the Servicing Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture or the Servicing Agreement, (i) is prohibited by, or requires the Trustee to obtain any consent, authorization, approval or registration under, any law, statute, rule, regulation, or any judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree that is binding upon the Trustee or any of its properties or Collateral or (ii) will violate the provisions of the Governing Documents of the Trustee; and

(d) there are no proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of the Trustee, threatened against the Trustee before any Federal, state or other governmental agency, authority, administrator or regulatory body, arbitrator, court or other tribunal, foreign or domestic, which could have a material adverse effect on the Collateral or the performance by the Trustee of its obligations under this Indenture or the Servicing Agreement.

Section 6.15 Representations and Warranties of the Note Administrator.

The Note Administrator represents and warrants for the benefit of the other parties to this Indenture and the parties to the Servicing Agreement that:

(d) there are no proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of the Note Administrator, threatened against the Note Administrator before any Federal, state or other governmental agency, authority, administrator or regulatory body, arbitrator, court or other tribunal, foreign or domestic, which could have a material adverse effect on the Collateral or the performance by the Note Administrator of its obligations under this Indenture or the Servicing Agreement.

-131-

Section 6.16 Requests for Consents.

In the event that the Trustee and the Note Administrator receives written notice of any offer or any request for a waiver, consent, amendment or other modification with respect to any Collateral Interest (before or after any default) or in the event any action is required to be taken in respect to an Loan Document, the Note Administrator shall promptly forward such notice to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer and the Special Servicer.

The Note Administrator is hereby authorized to withhold or deduct from amounts otherwise distributable to any Noteholder or payee sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally required to be withheld or deducted (but such authorization shall not prevent the Note Administrator from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and legally withholding payment of such tax, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to any Noteholder or payee shall be treated as Cash distributed to such Noteholder or payee at the time it is deducted or withheld by the Issuer or the Note Administrator, as applicable, and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution, the Note Administrator may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 6.17. The Issuer and the Co-Issuer agree to timely provide to the Note Administrator accurate and complete copies of all documentation received from Noteholders or payee pursuant to Sections 2.7(c) and 2.11(c). Solely with respect to FATCA compliance and reporting, nothing herein shall impose an obligation on the part of the Note Administrator to determine the amount of any tax or withholding obligation on the part of the Issuer or in respect of the Notes. In addition, initial purchasers and transferees of Definitive Notes after the Closing Date will be required to provide to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, or their agents, all information, documentation or certifications reasonably required to permit the Issuer to comply with its tax reporting obligations under applicable law, including any applicable cost basis reporting obligation.

COVENANTS

Section 7.1 Payment of Principal and Interest.

The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on each Class of Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Amounts properly withheld under the Code or other applicable law by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, and, with respect to the Preferred Shares, by the Issuer, to such Preferred Shareholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

The Note Administrator shall, unless prevented from doing so for reasons beyond its reasonable control, give notice to each Securityholder of any such withholding requirement no later than ten (10) days prior to the related Payment Date from which amounts are required (as directed by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) to be withheld, provided that, despite the failure of the Note Administrator to give such notice, amounts withheld pursuant to applicable tax laws shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, as provided above.

Section 7.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Co-Issuers hereby appoint the Note Administrator as a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.

The Issuer may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of any such agent or appoint any additional agents for any or all of such purposes; provided, however, that the Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served, and, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, an office or agency outside of the United States where Notes may be presented and surrendered for payment; provided, further, that no paying agent shall be appointed in a jurisdiction which subjects payments on the Notes to withholding tax. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Rating Agencies and the Noteholders of the appointment or termination of any such agent and of the location and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or outside the United States, or shall fail to furnish the Trustee and the Note Administrator with the address thereof, presentations and surrenders may be made (subject to the limitations described in the preceding paragraph) at and notices and demands may be served on the Issuer and the Co-Issuer and Notes may be presented and surrendered for payment to the appropriate Paying Agent at its main office and the Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby appoint the same as their agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

-133-

Section 7.3 Amounts for Note Payments to be Held in Trust.

(a) All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Payment Account shall be made on behalf of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer by the Note Administrator or a Paying Agent (in each case, from and to the extent of available funds in the Payment Account and subject to the Priority of Payments) with respect to payments on the Notes.

When the Paying Agent is not also the Notes Registrar, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall furnish, or cause the Notes Registrar to furnish, no later than the fifth calendar day after each Record Date a list, if necessary, in such form as such Paying Agent may reasonably request, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and of the certificate numbers of individual Notes held by each such Holder together with wiring instructions, contact information, and such other information reasonably required by the paying agent.

Whenever the Paying Agent is not also the Note Administrator, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, and such Paying Agent shall, on or before the Business Day next preceding each Payment Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be, direct the Note Administrator to deposit on such Payment Date with such Paying Agent, if necessary, an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (to the extent funds are then available for such purpose in the Payment Account, and subject to the Priority of Payments), such sum to be held for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless such Paying Agent is the Note Administrator) the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly notify the Note Administrator of its action or failure so to act. Any amounts deposited with a Paying Agent (other than the Note Administrator) in excess of an amount sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due on the Notes with respect to which such deposit was made shall be paid over by such Paying Agent to the Note Administrator for application in accordance with Article 11. Any such Paying Agent shall be deemed to agree by assuming such role not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Permitted Subsidiary for the non-payment to the Paying Agent of any amounts payable thereto until at least one year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) and one day after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this Indenture.

The initial Paying Agent shall be as set forth in Section 7.2. Any additional or successor Paying Agents shall be appointed by Issuer Order of the Issuer and Issuer Order of the Co-Issuer and at the sole cost and expense (including such Paying Agent’s fee) of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, with written notice thereof to the Note Administrator; provided, however, that so long as any Class of Rated Notes is Outstanding and with respect to any additional or successor Paying Agent for the Notes, either (i) such Paying Agent has a long-term senior unsecured debt rating of “AA” by Fitch and “A2” by Moody’s and a short-term senior unsecured debt rating of at least “F2” by Fitch and “P-1” by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or (ii) the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to the employment of such Paying Agent. In the event that such successor Paying Agent ceases to have a long-term debt rating of “BBB+” or higher by Fitch and “Baa1” or higher by Moody’s and a short-term debt rating of at least “F2” by Fitch and “P-2” by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly remove such Paying Agent and appoint a successor Paying Agent. The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall not appoint any Paying Agent that is not, at the time of such appointment, a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision and examination by federal and/or state and/or national banking authorities. The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall cause

-134-

the Paying Agent other than the Note Administrator to execute and deliver to the Note Administrator an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Note Administrator (and if the Note Administrator acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3, that such Paying Agent will:

(i) allocate all sums received for payment to the Holders of Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

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

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

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

(v) if such Paying Agent is not the Note Administrator at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Note Administrator, forthwith pay to the Note Administrator all sums so held by such Paying Agent.

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

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

In the event of any such consolidation, merger, transfer or conveyance, the Person named as the “Issuer” or the “Co-Issuer” in the first paragraph of this Indenture or any successor which shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article 7 may be dissolved, wound-up and liquidated at any time thereafter, and such Person thereafter shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker on all the Notes and from its obligations under this Indenture.

Section 7.12 No Other Business.

The Issuer shall not engage in any business or activity other than (a) issuing and selling the Notes pursuant to this Indenture and any supplements thereto, issuing its ordinary shares and issuing and selling the Preferred Shares in accordance with its Governing Documents; (b) acquiring, owning, holding, servicing, managing, developing, operating, selling, assigning, transferring, pledging, financing, refinancing, rehabilitating, restructuring or otherwise dealing

Section 7.13 Reporting.

At any time when the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is not exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, upon the request of a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note, the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished “Rule 144A Information” (as defined below) to such Holder or beneficial owner, to a prospective purchaser of such Note designated by such Holder or beneficial owner or to the Note Administrator for delivery to such Holder or beneficial owner or a prospective purchaser designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, in order to permit compliance by such Holder or beneficial owner with Rule 144A under the Securities Act in connection with the resale of such Note by such Holder or beneficial owner. “Rule 144A Information” shall be such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto). The Note Administrator shall reasonably cooperate with the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer in mailing or otherwise distributing (at the Issuer’s expense) to such Noteholders or prospective purchasers, at and pursuant to the Issuer’s and/or the Co-Issuer’s written direction the foregoing materials prepared by or on behalf of the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer; provided, however, that the Note Administrator shall be entitled to prepare and affix thereto or enclose therewith reasonable disclaimers to the effect that such Rule 144A Information was not assembled by the Note Administrator, that the Note Administrator has not reviewed or verified the accuracy thereof, and that it makes no representation as to such accuracy or as to the sufficiency of such information under the requirements of Rule 144A or for any other purpose.

Section 7.14 Calculation Agent.

(a) The Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby agree that for so long as any Notes remain Outstanding there shall at all times be an agent appointed to calculate the Benchmark in respect of each Interest Accrual Period in accordance with the terms of Schedule B attached hereto (the “Calculation Agent”). The Issuer and the Co-Issuer initially have appointed the Note Administrator as Calculation Agent for purposes of determining the Benchmark and the Interest Distribution Amount for each Interest Accrual Period. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer at any time with cause, or without cause upon thirty (30) days’ written notice. The Calculation Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuer, or if the Calculation Agent fails to determine the rate using the Benchmark or the Interest Distribution Amount for any Class of Notes for any Interest Accrual Period, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly appoint as a

-147-

replacement Calculation Agent a leading bank which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer or its affiliates. To the extent the Calculation Agent is removed without cause, the expenses incurred in connection with transferring the Calculation Agent’s responsibilities hereunder shall be reimbursed by the Issuer. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed. If no successor Calculation Agent shall have been appointed within thirty (30) days after giving of a notice of resignation, the resigning Calculation Agent or a Majority of the Holders of the Notes, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, may petition a court of competent jurisdiction, at the Issuer’s expense, for the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent.

(b) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as practicable after the Reference Time, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (New York Time) on the next succeeding Business Day immediately following each Benchmark Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall calculate the Benchmark for the related Interest Accrual Period and will communicate such information to the Note Administrator, who shall include such calculation on the next Monthly Report following such Benchmark Determination Date. The Calculation Agent shall notify the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Collateral Manager before 5:00 p.m. (New York Time) on each Benchmark Determination Date if it has not determined and is not in the process of determining the Benchmark and the Interest Distribution Amounts for each Class of Notes, together with the reasons therefor. The determination of the Note Interest Rates and the related Interest Distribution Amounts, respectively, by the Calculation Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on all parties.

Section 7.15 REIT Status.

(a) Sub-REIT shall not take any action that results in (i) the Issuer failing to qualify as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary or other disregarded entity of Sub-REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) based on an opinion of a nationally recognized tax counsel experienced in such matters, the Issuer will be treated as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary or other disregarded entity of Sub-REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (iii) based on an opinion of a national recognized tax counsel experienced in such matters, the Issuer will be treated as a foreign corporation that is not engaged in a trade or business within the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (which opinion may be conditioned on compliance with certain restrictions on the investment or other activity of the Issuer and the Servicer or the Collateral Manager, in each case, on behalf of the Issuer).

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 7.16, if the Issuer is no longer a Qualified REIT Subsidiary or other disregarded entity of a REIT, prior to the time that:

(i) any Collateral Interest would cause the Issuer to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes or to become subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis,

(ii) restructuring of a Collateral Interest that could cause the Issuer to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes or to become subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis,

-148-

(iii) the Issuer would acquire the real property underlying any Collateral Interest pursuant to a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or

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

the Issuer will either (x) organize one or more Permitted Subsidiaries and contribute the subject property to such Permitted Subsidiary, (y) contribute such Collateral Interest to an existing Permitted Subsidiary, or (z) sell such Collateral Interest in accordance with Section 12.1.

(c) At the direction of 100% of the Preferred Shareholders (including any party that will become the beneficial owner of 100% of the Preferred Shares because of a default under any financing arrangement for which the Preferred Shares are security), the Issuer may operate as a foreign corporation that is not engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, provided that (i) the Issuer receives a No Trade or Business Opinion; (ii) this Indenture and the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, are amended or supplemented (A) to adopt written tax guidelines governing the Issuer’s origination, acquisition, disposition and modification of Loans designed to prevent the Issuer from being treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (B) to form one or more “grantor trusts” to hold the Loans and (C) to implement any other provisions deemed necessary (as determined by the tax counsel providing the opinion) to prevent the Issuer from being treated as a foreign corporation engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise becoming subject to U.S. federal withholding tax or U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis; (iii) the Preferred Shareholder shall pay the administrative and other costs related to the Issuer converting from a Qualified REIT Subsidiary to operating as a foreign corporation, including the costs of any opinions and amendments; and (iv) the Preferred Shareholder agrees to pay any ongoing expenses related to the Issuer’s status as a foreign corporation not engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including but not limited to U.S. federal income tax filings required by the Issuer, the “grantor trusts” or any taxable subsidiaries or required under FATCA and the Cayman FATCA Legislation.

Section 7.16 Issuer Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall, following delivery of an Issuer Order to the parties hereto, be permitted to sell or otherwise transfer to an Issuer Subsidiary at any time any Sensitive Asset for consideration consisting entirely of the equity interests of such Issuer Subsidiary (or for an increase in the value of equity interests already owned). Such Issuer Order shall certify that the sale of a Sensitive Asset is being made in accordance with satisfaction of all requirements of this Indenture. The Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Release Request with respect to a Sensitive Asset, release such Sensitive Asset and shall deliver such Sensitive Asset as specified in such Release Request. The following provisions shall apply to all Sensitive Asset and Issuer Subsidiaries:

(a) For all purposes under this Indenture (other than for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes), any Sensitive Asset transferred to a Issuer Subsidiary shall be treated as if it were an asset owned directly by the Issuer.

-149-

(b) Any distribution of Cash by an Issuer Subsidiary to the Issuer shall, to the extent of the Issuer’s interest therein, be characterized as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds to the same extent that such Cash would have been characterized as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds if received directly by the Issuer and each Issuer Subsidiary shall cause all proceeds of and collections on each Sensitive Asset owned by such Issuer Subsidiary, to the extent of the Issuer’s interest therein, to be deposited into the Payment Account.

(c) To the extent applicable, the Issuer shall form one or more Securities Accounts with the Securities Intermediary for the benefit of each Issuer Subsidiary and shall, to the extent applicable, cause Sensitive Asset to be credited to such Securities Accounts.

(d) Notwithstanding the complete and absolute transfer of a Sensitive Asset to an Issuer Subsidiary, the ownership interests of the Issuer in an Issuer Subsidiary or any property distributed to the Issuer by an Issuer Subsidiary shall be treated as a continuation of its ownership of the Sensitive Asset that was transferred to such Issuer Subsidiary (and shall be treated as having the same characteristics as such Sensitive Asset).

(e) If the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, or any other authorized party takes any action under this Indenture to sell, liquidate or dispose of all or substantially all of the Collateral, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall cause each Issuer Subsidiary to sell each Sensitive Asset and all other Collateral held by such Issuer Subsidiary, to the extent of the Issuer’s interest therein, and distribute the proceeds of such sale, net of any amounts necessary to satisfy any related expenses and tax liabilities, to the Issuer in exchange for the equity interest in such Issuer Subsidiary held by the Issuer.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.16, any Sensitive Asset transferred to an Issuer Subsidiary that is a Taxable REIT Subsidiary shall be treated as a transfer of beneficial ownership of the Sensitive Asset for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes. All parties agree to treat any Issuer Subsidiary that is a Taxable REIT Subsidiary as the owner of such Sensitive Asset and any related income for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes (including in any and all filings with any U.S. federal, state or local income taxing authority).

Section 7.17 Repurchase Requests.

If the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer or the Special Servicer receives any request or demand that a Collateral Interest be repurchased or substituted arising from any Material Breach of a representation or warranty made with respect to such Collateral Interest, any Material Document Defect or a Combined Loan Repurchase Event (any such request or demand, a “Repurchase Request”) or a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request from any Person other than the Servicer or Special Servicer, then the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer), the Trustee, the Note Administrator the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly forward such notice of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request, as the case may be, to the Servicer (if related to a Performing Loan) or Special Servicer (if related to a Specially Serviced Loan), and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a “Repurchase Request/withdrawal of a Repurchase Request” under Section 3.19 of the Servicing Agreement relating to ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ 2026-

-150-

FL1 Issuer, Ltd. and ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ 2026-FL1 Co-Issuer, LLC, requiring action from you as the “Repurchase Request Recipient” thereunder.” Any Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request to the Note Administrator shall be submitted in writing or by email to #▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ (or such other email address as the Note Administrator shall designate from time to time) with a subject line of “Repurchase Request [Withdrawal] – ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ 2026-FL1.” Upon receipt of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Collateral Manager, the Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to the prior sentence, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to be the Repurchase Request Recipient in respect of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request, as the case may be, and shall be responsible for complying with the procedures set forth in Section 3.19 of the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Repurchase Request.

Section 7.18 Servicing of Loans and Control of Servicing Decisions.

The Serviced Loans will be serviced by the Servicer or, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, subject to the consultation, consent and direction rights of the Collateral Manager as set forth in the Servicing Agreement, subject to those conditions, restrictions or termination events expressly provided therein. Nothing in this Indenture shall be interpreted to limit in any respect the rights of the Collateral Manager under the Servicing Agreement and none of the Issuer, Co-Issuer, Note Administrator and Trustee shall take any action under this Indenture inconsistent with the rights of the Collateral Manager set forth under the Servicing Agreement. In performing any duties or obligations pursuant to this Indenture, each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the same rights, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to such parties under the Servicing Agreement.

Section 7.19 ABS Due Diligence Services.

If any of the parties to this Indenture receives a Form ABS Due Diligence-15E from any party in connection with any third-party due diligence services such party may have provided with respect to the Collateral Interests (any such party a “Due Diligence Service Provider”), such receiving party shall promptly forward such Form ABS Due Diligence-15E to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Website. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall post on the 17g-5 Website any Form ABS Due Diligence-15E it receives directly from a Due Diligence Service Provider or from another party to this Indenture, promptly upon receipt thereof.

Section 7.20 Benchmark Agent.

(a) The Issuer hereby appoints the Collateral Manager, and the Collateral Manager hereby accepts the appointment as Benchmark Agent for purposes of determining from time to time at such intervals as it determines whether a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred for purposes of this Indenture and the Notes as set forth in Section 2.16.

-151-

(b) The Benchmark Agent shall be entitled to receive, on each Payment Date, reimbursement for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in the course of performing its obligations hereunder in the order specified in the Priority of Payments as set forth in Section 11.1 (or in such other manner in which Company Administrative Expenses are permitted to be paid under this Indenture). Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances of the Benchmark Agent’s agents, counsel, consultants, advisors and experts (provided that any out-of-pocket fees paid to the Benchmark Agent’s consultants, advisors or experts shall be limited to $75,000 over the life of the transaction). The payment obligations to the Benchmark Agent pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall survive the termination of this Indenture. If the Benchmark Agent is terminated pursuant to clause (j) below, the Benchmark Agent shall be entitled to be paid on the next succeeding Payment Date all expenses accruing to it to the date of such termination, resignation or removal in accordance with the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 11.1.

(c) In the discharge of its obligations, the Benchmark Agent shall not be liable for actions taken or omitted to be taken unless such actions are taken or omitted to be taken by reason of the Benchmark Agent’s gross negligence in the performance of its obligations and duties under the Indenture or by reason of its grossly negligent disregard of those obligations or duties. The Issuer hereby waives and releases, subject to the foregoing, any and all claims with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to a Benchmark Replacement, including determinations as to the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or a Benchmark Replacement Date, the selection of a Benchmark Replacement, the determination of the applicable Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, and the determination and implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

(d) The Benchmark Agent shall have no direct or indirect liability whatsoever to the holders of any interest in any Note, it being understood that the only remedies available to holders of the Notes in respect of any Benchmark Replacement will be the implementation via court order of a different Benchmark Replacement and the implementation of any court-ordered Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, and the determination and implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and other potential remedies, but not any remedies against the Benchmark Agent.

(e) The Note Administrator, Calculation Agent and any third party from whom the Benchmark Agent receives advice in connection with the discharge of its obligations as Benchmark Agent will be beneficiaries of this Section 7.20.

(f) The Benchmark Agent shall have no responsibility in respect of any failure to select a Benchmark Replacement due to the unavailability of sufficient guidance from the Relevant Governmental Body or ISDA Definitions or from market practice (taking into account guidance from consultants, advisors or experts) or in the event the Benchmark Agent determines in its discretion that there is not otherwise an industry-accepted rate of interest, spread adjustment or methods for calculating a Benchmark Replacement. The Benchmark Agent shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with its understanding of the recommendations, selections, endorsements or any other guidelines provided by a Relevant Governmental Body or ISDA; provided, however, that the Benchmark Agent shall only be liable to the extent that it was grossly negligent. In the event the Benchmark Agent has to make determinations giving due consideration to industry-accepted standards or market practice, the Benchmark Agent shall, unless it has acted grossly negligent, be fully protected in making such determinations based on its understanding of current industry-accepted standards or market practice (it being understood that such standards or

-152-

practices may evolve quickly and over time), and the Benchmark Agent may, in its sole discretion, refrain from performing its obligations until it determines that such industry-accepted standards or market practice exist to make such determinations. In all cases, the Benchmark Agent may consult with and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the advice of legal counsel and the advice of consultants, advisors and experts with respect to any determination that the Benchmark Agent is required to make as Benchmark Agent and shall be protected if it acts in reliance upon such advice.

(g) The Benchmark Agent shall incur no liability to anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument, statement, notice, resolution, request, direction, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. Subject to the provisions of Section 14.6, the Benchmark Agent may exercise any of its rights or powers hereunder or perform any of its duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, and the Benchmark Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it. The Benchmark Agent shall in no event have any liability for the actions or omissions of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Note Administrator or any other Person, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in any duty performed by it that results from or is caused by inaccurate, untimely or incomplete information or data received by it from the Issuer, the Servicer, the Note Administrator or another Person.

(h) Under no circumstances shall the Benchmark Agent be liable for indirect, punitive, special or consequential damages under or pursuant to this Indenture, its duties or obligations hereunder or arising out of or relating to the subject matter hereof, even if the Benchmark Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of the form of such action. Notwithstanding anything herein and without limiting the generality of any terms of Section 2.17 or this Section 7.20, the Benchmark Agent shall not have any liability to the extent of any expense, loss, damage, demand, charge or claim resulting from or caused by events or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of such party including the interruption, suspension or restriction of trading on or the closure of any securities markets, power or other mechanical or technological failures or interruptions, computer viruses, communications disruptions, work stoppages, natural disasters, fire, war, terrorism, riots, rebellions, or other similar acts. No provision of this Indenture shall require the Benchmark Agent to take any action that it believes to be contrary to applicable law or to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties thereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The Benchmark Agent shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any provisions or terms of any Transaction Document to which it is not a party.

(i) The Issuer shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Benchmark Agent, the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and each of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, agents and employees from any and all losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges, costs, expenses (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of this indemnity and including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with (i) in the case of the Benchmark Agent, the discharge of the obligations of the Benchmark Agent, other than for its own gross negligence (notwithstanding any other provision or standard of care referenced herein or in the Transaction Documents), and (ii) in the case of the Note

-153-

Administrator, the Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Servicer and the Special Servicer, their reliance upon the actions of the Benchmark Agent. With respect to the institution of any claims, disputes or lawsuits arising out of or in connection with the discharge of its obligations as Benchmark Agent, the Benchmark Agent will be entitled to receive, in addition to the reimbursement of expenses as described in clause (b) above, liquidated damages in an amount 1.5 times the aggregate out of pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) otherwise owing to it pursuant to the foregoing indemnity. For the avoidance of doubt, all indemnities payable under this subsection and liquidated damages shall be uncapped and payable as Company Administrative Expenses in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(j) Subject to Section 7.1(k), the Benchmark Agent may resign its duties hereunder by providing the Issuer with fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice. Subject to Section 7.1(k), the Issuer may remove the Benchmark Agent for cause by providing the Benchmark Agent with at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who will be required to promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Website) and each Rating Agency) if (i) the Benchmark Agent shall default in the performance of any of its duties under this Indenture and, after notice of such default, shall not cure such default within fifteen (15) days (or, if such default cannot be cured in such time, shall not have given within ten (10) days such assurance of cure as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer), (ii) the Benchmark Agent is dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger) or has a resolution passed for its winding-up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger), (iii) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief, and such decree or order shall not have been vacated within sixty (60) days, in respect of the Benchmark Agent in any involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official for the Benchmark Agent or any substantial part of its property or order the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs or (iv) the Benchmark Agent shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, shall consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or similar official for the Benchmark Agent or any substantial part of its property, shall consent to the taking of possession by any such official of any substantial part of its property, shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due. The Benchmark Agent agrees that if any of the events specified in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) shall occur, it shall give written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who will be required to promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Website) and each Rating Agency within three (3) Business Days after the happening of such event. The Benchmark Agent shall cooperate with the Issuer and any successor Benchmark Agent, and take all reasonable steps requested to assist the Issuer in making an orderly transfer of the duties of the Benchmark Agent.

(k) No resignation or removal of the Benchmark Agent pursuant to this Section shall be effective until a successor Benchmark Agent shall have been appointed by the Issuer that is reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer. If a successor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Agent does not take office within fifteen (15) days after the retiring Benchmark Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Benchmark Agent, the Issuer or a Majority of the Controlling Class, may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Agent at the expense of the Issuer.

-154-

(l) The Benchmark Agent may be removed by the Issuer at any time with cause, or without cause upon thirty (30) days’ written notice.

The failure of any Optional Redemption, Clean-up Call or Tax Redemption that is withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture shall not constitute an Event of Default.

Section 9.3 Notice of Redemption or Maturity by the Issuer.

Any sale or disposition of a Collateral Interest by the Trustee in connection with an Optional Redemption, Clean-up Call, Tax Redemption or Auction Call Redemption shall be performed upon Issuer Order by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability therefore. Notice of redemption (or a withdrawal thereof) or Clean-up Call pursuant to Section 9.1 or the Maturity of any Notes shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than ten (10) Business Days (or, where the notice of an Optional Redemption, a Clean-up Call or a Tax Redemption is withdrawn pursuant to Section 9.2(b), four (4) Business Days (or promptly thereafter upon receipt of written notice, if later)) prior to the applicable Redemption Date or Maturity, to (unless the Note Administrator agrees to a shorter notice period) the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Rating Agencies, and each Securityholder to be redeemed, at its address in the Notes Register.

Notice of redemption shall be given by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, or at their request, by the Note Administrator in their names, and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Notes.

Section 9.4 Notes Payable on Redemption Date.

(a) Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall Default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest thereon) the Notes shall cease to bear interest on the Redemption Date. Upon final payment on a Note to be redeemed, the Holder shall present and surrender such Note at the place specified in the notice of redemption on or prior to such Redemption Date; provided, however, that if there is delivered to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such Note, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee that the applicable Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. Payments of interest on the Notes so to be redeemed whose Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to the terms and provisions of Section 2.7(f).

(g) The Initial Principal Proceeds Deposit, if any, shall be payable by Seller to Issuer on the Closing Date, and may be netted against any amounts payable by Issuer to Seller under the Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement on the Closing Date. The Issuer shall remit any Initial Principal Proceeds Deposit to the Note Administrator on the Closing Date and the Note Administrator shall deposit such Initial Principal Proceeds Deposit into the Reinvestment Account. The only permitted withdrawals from or application of an Initial Principal Proceeds Deposit on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the Reinvestment Account shall be (i) to acquire Reinvestment Collateral Interests and (ii) to withdraw amounts for deposit into the Payment Account for application pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(ii) as Principal Proceeds.

Section 10.3 Payment Account.

(a) The Issuer shall cause the Securities Intermediary to establish, on or prior to the Closing Date, a single, segregated trust account which shall be designated as the “Payment Account,” which shall be held in trust in the name of the Issuer, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and over which the Note Administrator shall have exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal. All funds received by the Note Administrator from the Servicer on each Remittance Date shall be credited to the Payment Account. Any and all funds at any time on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Payment Account shall be held in trust by the Note Administrator, in its capacity as Securities Intermediary, in the name of the Issuer, on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Except as provided in Sections 10.3(c), 11.1 and 11.2, the only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Payment Account shall be (i) to pay the interest on and the principal of the Notes and make other payments in respect of the Notes in accordance with their terms and the provisions of this Indenture, (ii) to deposit into the Preferred Share Distribution Account for distributions to the Preferred Shareholders, (iii) upon Issuer Order, to pay other amounts specified therein, and (iv) otherwise to pay amounts payable pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, each in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(b) The Note Administrator agrees to give the Issuer and the Collateral Manager prompt notice if it becomes aware that the Payment Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Payment Account, becomes subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. The Issuer shall have no legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Payment Account other than in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Payment Account shall remain at all times an Eligible Account.

(c) The Note Administrator may direct the Securities Intermediary to invest the funds on deposit in the Payment Account in one or more Eligible Investments; provided, that (i) any amounts held in the Payment Account that are invested shall be (x) invested only in short-term Eligible Investments and (y) sold no later than each Payment Date and prior to the operation of the Priority of Payments, and (ii) in all cases, such funds shall be either (x) immediately available or (y) available in accordance with a schedule which will permit the Note Administrator to meet its payment obligations hereunder. The Note Administrator shall be entitled to all income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Payment Account (such amount, “Additional Note Administrator Compensation”) in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Note Administrator shall deposit from its own funds in the Payment Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such investment of funds immediately upon the realization of such loss; provided that the Note Administrator shall not be required to deposit the amount of any loss on any investment of funds if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state-chartered depository institution or trust company that holds the Payment Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of “Eligible Account” in the month in which the loss occurred and at the time such investment was made.

Section 10.4 [Reserved]

Section 10.5 Expense Reserve Account.

(a) The Issuer shall cause the Securities Intermediary to establish, on or prior to the Closing Date, a single, segregated trust account which shall be designated as the “Expense Reserve Account,” which shall be held in trust in the name of the Issuer, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and over which the Note Administrator shall have exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal. The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the Expense Reserve Account shall be to pay (on any day other than a Payment Date), accrued and unpaid Company Administrative Expenses (other than accrued and unpaid expenses and indemnities payable to the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement); provided that the Collateral Manager shall be entitled (but not required) without liability on its part, to direct the Note Administrator to refrain from making any such payment of a Company Administrative Expense on any day other than a Payment Date if, in its reasonable determination, taking into account the Priority of Payments, the payment of such amounts is likely to leave insufficient funds available to pay in full each of the items payable prior thereto in the Priority of Payments on the next succeeding Payment Date. Upon direction by the Collateral Manager to the Note Administrator, amounts credited to the Expense Reserve Account may be applied on or prior to the Determination Date preceding the first Payment Date to pay amounts due in connection with the offering of the Notes. On or after the first Payment Date, any amount remaining in the Expense Reserve Account may, at the election of the Collateral Manager, be designated as Interest Proceeds. On the date on which all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets have been sold or otherwise disposed of, the Issuer by Issuer Order executed by an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager shall direct the Note Administrator to, and upon receipt of such Issuer Order, the Note Administrator shall, transfer all amounts on deposit in the Expense Reserve Account to the Payment Account for application pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i) as Interest Proceeds.

(b) On each Payment Date, the Collateral Manager may designate Interest Proceeds (in an amount not to exceed $100,000 on such Payment Date) after application of amounts payable pursuant to clauses (1) through (19) of Section 11.1(a)(i) for deposit into the Expense Reserve Account.

(c) The Note Administrator agrees to give the Issuer and the Collateral Manager prompt notice if it becomes aware that the Expense Reserve Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Expense Reserve Account, becomes subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. The Issuer shall have no legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Expense Reserve Account other than in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Expense Reserve Account shall remain at all times an Eligible Account.

(d) The Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, may direct the Note Administrator to, and upon such direction the Note Administrator shall cause the Securities Intermediary to, invest all funds in the Expense Reserve Account in Eligible Investments designated by the Collateral Manager. All interest and other income from such investments shall be deposited in the Expense Reserve Account, any gain realized from such investments shall be

-170-

credited to the Expense Reserve Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Expense Reserve Account. The Note Administrator shall not in any way be held liable (except as a result of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) by reason of any insufficiency of such Expense Reserve Account resulting from any loss relating to any such investment. If the Note Administrator does not receive written investment instructions from an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager, funds in the Expense Reserve Account shall be held invested in accordance with Section 11.2.

Section 10.6 Unused Proceeds Account.

(a) The Issuer shall cause the Securities Intermediary to establish, on or prior to the Closing Date, a single, segregated trust account designated as the “Unused Proceeds Account” and shall be held in trust in the name of the Issuer, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, into which the amount specified in Section 3.2(e) shall be deposited, and over which the Note Administrator shall have exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal. All amounts credited from time to time to the Unused Proceeds Account pursuant to this Indenture shall be held by the Note Administrator as part of the Collateral and shall be applied to the purposes herein provided.

(b) The Note Administrator agrees to give the Issuer prompt notice if it becomes aware that the Unused Proceeds Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Unused Proceeds Account, becomes subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. The Issuer shall have no legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Unused Proceeds Account other than in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Unused Proceeds Account shall remain at all times an Eligible Account.

(c) On the first Payment Date after the Delayed Close Purchase Termination Date, any amounts remaining in the Unused Proceeds Account shall be deposited into the Reinvestment Account.

(d) On or prior to the Delayed Close Purchase Termination Date, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) may by Issuer Order direct the Note Administrator to, and upon receipt of such Issuer Order the Note Administrator shall, apply amounts on deposit in the Unused Proceeds Account to acquire the Delayed Close Collateral Interest as directed by the Collateral Manager as permitted under and in accordance with the requirements of Section 12.6 and such Issuer Order.

(e) To the extent not applied pursuant to Section 12.6, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, may direct the Note Administrator to, and upon such direction the Note Administrator shall cause the Securities Intermediary to, invest all funds in the Unused Proceeds Account in Eligible Investments designated by the Collateral Manager as provided in Section 11.2. All interest and other income from such investments shall be deposited in the Unused Proceeds Account, any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the Unused Proceeds Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Unused Proceeds Account. The Note Administrator or the Securities Intermediary shall not in any way be held liable (except as a result of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) by reason of any insufficiency of the Unused Proceeds Account resulting from any loss relating to any such investment, except with respect to investments in obligations of the Note Administrator or any Affiliate thereof. If the Note Administrator does not receive investment instructions from an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager, funds received in the Unused Proceeds Account shall be invested in accordance with Section 11.2.

-171-

(f) On or prior to the Delayed Close Purchase Termination Date, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) may by Issuer Order direct the Note Administrator to, and upon receipt of such Issuer Order, the Note Administrator shall, apply amounts on deposit in the Unused Proceeds Account to acquire the Delayed Close Collateral Interest as directed by the Collateral Manager as permitted under and in accordance with the requirements of Section 12.6 and such Issuer Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Reinvestment Period, the Issuer shall be permitted to acquire the Delayed Close Collateral Interest even if it has terms that materially differ from the terms disclosed in the Offering Memorandum so long as (i) the collateral, tenor and general credit features of the Delayed Close Collateral Interest are substantially as described on Annex A to the Offering Memorandum, (ii) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to each Rating Agency and (iii) the Delayed Close Collateral Interest satisfies the applicable Eligibility Criteria, and the Acquisition Criteria and the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements are satisfied.

Section 10.7 Interest Advances.

(a) With respect to each Payment Date for which the sum of Interest Proceeds and, if applicable, Principal Proceeds, collected during the related Due Period and remitted to the Note Administrator that are available to pay interest on the Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments, are insufficient to remit the interest due and payable with respect to the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes on such Payment Date as a result of interest shortfalls on the Collateral Interests (or the application of interest received on the Collateral Interests to pay certain expenses in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement) (the amount of such insufficiency, an “Interest Shortfall”), the Note Administrator shall provide the Advancing Agent with email notice of such Interest Shortfall no later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding such Payment Date, at the following addresses: ▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇@▇▇.▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇.▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇.▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇.▇▇▇ or such other email address as provided by the Advancing Agent to the Note Administrator. The Note Administrator shall provide the Advancing Agent with additional email notice, prior to any funding of an Interest Advance by the Advancing Agent, of any additional interest remittances received by the Note Administrator after delivery of such initial notice that reduces such Interest Shortfall. No later than 10:00 a.m. (New York Time) on the related Payment Date, the Advancing Agent shall advance the difference between such amounts (each such advance, an “Interest Advance”) by deposit of an amount equal to such Interest Advance in the Payment Account, subject to a determination of recoverability by the Advancing Agent as described in Section 10.7(b), and subject to a maximum limit in respect of any Payment Date equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of the Interest Shortfall that would otherwise occur on the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes and (ii) the aggregate amount of the interest payments not received in respect of Collateral Interests with respect to such Payment Date (including, for such purpose, interest payments received on the Collateral Interests but applied to pay certain expenses in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement).

-172-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no circumstance shall the Advancing Agent be required to make an Interest Advance in respect of a Collateral Interest to the extent that the aggregate outstanding amount of all unreimbursed Interest Advances would exceed the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes. In addition, in no event shall the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee be required to advance any payments in respect of (i) interest on any Class of Notes other than the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes or (ii) principal of any Note. Any Interest Advance made by the Advancing Agent with respect to a Payment Date that is in excess of the actual Interest Shortfall for such Payment Date shall be refunded to the Advancing Agent by the Note Administrator on the related Payment Date (or, if such Interest Advance is made prior to final determination by the Note Administrator of such Interest Shortfall, on the Business Day of such final determination).

The Advancing Agent shall provide the Note Administrator written notice of a determination by the Advancing Agent that a proposed Interest Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York Time) on the related Payment Date. If the Advancing Agent fails to make any required Interest Advance by 10:00 a.m. (New York Time) on any Payment Date upon which distributions are to be made pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i), the Collateral Manager shall remove the Advancing Agent in its capacity as advancing agent hereunder as permitted in Section 16.5(d) and the Backup Advancing Agent shall be required to make such Interest Advance no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York Time) on such Payment Date, subject to a determination of recoverability by the Backup Advancing Agent as described in Section 10.7(b). If the Backup Advancing Agent fails to make any required Interest Advance by 11:00 a.m. (New York Time) on any Payment Date, then the Backup Advancing Agent shall notify the Trustee via email at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York Time) on such Payment Date and shall furnish to the Trustee any information requested by the Trustee to determine recoverability of such Interest Advance. The Trustee shall, based on its determination of recoverability, make such Interest Advance no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York Time) on the Payment Date. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given by the Advancing Agent or Backup Advancing Agent with respect to a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance hereunder. Based upon available information at the time, the Backup Advancing Agent, the Advancing Agent, the Trustee or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, will provide fifteen (15) days prior notice to the Rating Agencies if recovery of a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance would result in an Interest Shortfall on the next succeeding Payment Date. No later than the close of business on the Determination Date related to a Payment Date on which the recovery of a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance would result in an Interest Shortfall, the Backup Advancing Agent, the Advancing Agent, the Trustee or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, shall provide the Rating Agencies with notice of such recovery.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be required to make any Interest Advance unless such Person determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith that such Interest Advance, or such proposed Interest Advance, plus interest expected to accrue thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, will not be a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance. In determining whether any proposed Interest Advance will be, or whether any Interest Advance previously made is, a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, will take into account certain factors, including but not limited to:

-173-

(i) amounts that may be realized on each Mortgaged Property in its “as is” or then-current condition and occupancy;

(ii) the potential length of time before such Interest Advance may be reimbursed and the resulting degree of uncertainty with respect to such reimbursement; and

(iii) the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, and

(iv) the fact that Interest Advances are intended to provide liquidity only and not credit support to the Holders of any Class of Notes entitled thereto.

For purposes of any such determination of whether an Interest Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, an Interest Advance shall be deemed to be nonrecoverable if the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that future Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds may be ultimately insufficient to fully reimburse such Interest Advance, plus interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate within a reasonable period of time. The Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee will be entitled to conclusively rely on any affirmative determination by the Advancing Agent that an Interest Advance would have been a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance. Absent bad faith, the determination by the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, as to the nonrecoverability of any Interest Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Notes.

(c) Each of the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee may recover any previously unreimbursed Interest Advance made by it (including any Nonrecoverable Interest Advance), together with interest thereon, first, from Interest Proceeds and second (to the extent that there are insufficient Interest Proceeds for such reimbursement), from Principal Proceeds to the extent that such reimbursement would not trigger an additional Interest Shortfall; provided that if at any time an Interest Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee shall be entitled to recover all outstanding Interest Advances from the Collection Account pursuant to the Servicing Agreement on any Business Day during any Interest Accrual Period prior to the related Determination Date. The Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee, as the case may be, shall be permitted (but not obligated) to defer or otherwise structure the timing of recoveries of Nonrecoverable Interest Advances in such manner as the Advancing Agent, Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines is in the best interest of the Holders of the Notes, as a collective whole, which may include being reimbursed for Nonrecoverable Interest Advances in installments.

(d) The Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee will each be entitled with respect to any Interest Advance made by it (including Nonrecoverable Interest Advances) to interest accrued on the amount of such Interest Advance for so long as it is outstanding at the Reimbursement Rate.

-174-

(e) The obligations of the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee to make Interest Advances in respect of the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes will continue through the Stated Maturity Date, unless the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes are previously redeemed or repaid in full.

(f) In no event shall the Advancing Agent, in its capacity as such hereunder, the Note Administrator, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent hereunder, or the Trustee, in its capacity as backup advancing agent hereunder, be required to advance any amounts in respect of payments of principal of any Collateral Interest or Note. Additionally, in no event shall the Advancing Agent, in its capacity as such hereunder, or the Note Administrator, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent hereunder, be required to advance any amounts in respect of payments of principal or interest, or any other amounts, of any Collateral Interest.

(g) In consideration of the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Advancing Agent shall be entitled to receive, at the times set forth herein and subject to the Priority of Payments, to the extent funds are available therefor, the Advancing Agent Fee. For so long as Seller (or any of its Affiliates) is the Advancing Agent and the Retention Holder (or any of its Affiliates) owns the Preferred Shares, the Advancing Agent hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, to waive its rights to receive the Advancing Agent Fee and any Reimbursement Interest. The Note Administrator and the Trustee shall not be entitled to an additional fee in respect of its role as Backup Advancing Agent or backup advancing agent, as applicable. If the Advancing Agent is terminated for failing to make an Interest Advance hereunder (as provided in Section 16.5(d)) (or for failing to make a Servicing Advance under the Servicing Agreement) that the Advancing Agent did not determine to be nonrecoverable, any applicable subsequent successor advancing agent will be entitled to receive the Advancing Agent Fee (plus Reimbursement Interest on any Interest Advance made by the applicable subsequent successor advancing agent).

(h) The determination by the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee (in its capacity as successor Advancing Agent), as applicable, (i) that it has made a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance (together with Reimbursement Interest thereon) or (ii) that any proposed Interest Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered promptly to the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Issuer and the 17g-5 Information Provider, setting forth the basis for such determination; provided that failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of, or the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, entitlement to reimbursement with respect to, any Interest Advance.

(i) With respect to any Interest Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Backup Advancing Agent’s rights, protections and immunities hereunder, including, without limitation, the Backup Advancing Agent’s rights of reimbursement and interest on each Interest Advance at the Reimbursement Rate, the Advancing Agent Fee and the right to determine that a proposed Interest Advance is a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all references to “Backup Advancing Agent” in Section 11.1 relating to reimbursing the Backup Advancing Agent for any Interest Advance or interest thereon shall include the “Trustee,” so the Note Administrator shall be entitled to withdraw from the Payment Account any amounts available to pay the Trustee, reimburse the Trustee for such Interest Advances and other items and use such amounts instead to reimburse the Trustee for such Interest Advances; provided that the Trustee shall have priority over the Backup Advancing Agent for such reimbursements.

-175-

(j) The Trustee will remain eligible to act as Backup Advancing Agent for so long as it maintains its eligibility requirements as Trustee under Section 6.8.

Section 10.8 Reports by Parties.

DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL INTERESTS; ACQUISITION OF DELAYED CLOSE COLLATERAL INTEREST AND SUBSEQUENT COLLATERAL INTERESTS; FUTURE FUNDING ESTIMATES

Section 12.1 Sales of Credit Risk Collateral Interests and Defaulted Collateral Interests.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly permitted or required by this Indenture, subject to compliance with the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements, the Issuer shall not sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral Interest. The Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, acting pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement may direct the Issuer (or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Issuer) in writing to sell at any time:

(i) any Collateral Interest subject to a Material Default (without regard to whether such Collateral Interest is a Defaulted Collateral Interest);

(ii) any Credit Risk Collateral Interest, unless the Note Protection Tests were not satisfied as of the immediately preceding Determination Date and have not been cured as of the proposed sale date; and

(iii) any Reinvestment Collateral Interest or Exchange Collateral Interest acquired in violation of the Eligibility Criteria, the Acquisition Criteria or the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements.

The Special Servicer shall sell any Collateral Interest in any sale permitted pursuant to this Section 12.1(a), as directed by the Collateral Manager. Promptly after any sale pursuant to this Section 12.1(a), the Collateral Manager shall notify the 17g-5 Information Provider of the Collateral Interest sold and the sale price and shall provide such other information relating to such sale as may be reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies.

-195-

If a Collateral Interest that is a Defaulted Collateral Interest is not sold or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer within three (3) years of such Collateral Interest becoming a Defaulted Collateral Interest, the Collateral Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Issuer to sell or otherwise dispose of such Collateral Interest as soon as commercially practicable thereafter. In no event shall the Issuer or the Collateral Manager be permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral Interest for the primary purpose of recognizing gains or decreasing losses resulting from market value changes.

In connection with the sale of a Credit Risk Collateral Interest or a Collateral Interest subject to a Material Default pursuant to this Section 12.1(a), the Collateral Manager may also cause the Issuer to create one or more participation interests in such Collateral Interest and direct the Trustee to sell one or more of such participation interests.

(b) In addition, with respect to any Collateral Interest subject to a Material Default (without regard to whether such Collateral Interest is a Defaulted Collateral Interest) or Credit Risk Collateral Interest permitted to be sold pursuant to Section 12.1(a), such Collateral Interest may be sold by the Issuer at the direction of the Collateral Manager:

(i) to an entity, other than an Interested Person; or

(ii) with respect to a Credit Risk Collateral Interest, to an Interested Person that is purchasing such Credit Risk Collateral Interest from the Issuer for a Cash purchase price that is:

(A) in the case of an Interested Person other than the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates, equal to or greater than the Par Purchase Price, or

(B) in the case of the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates:

(I) until the Disposition Limitation Threshold has been met, equal to or greater than the Par Purchase Price thereof; and

(II) after the Disposition Limitation Threshold has been met, following disclosure to, and approval by, the Advisory Committee, equal to or greater than the greater of (x) the Par Purchase Price thereof and (y) the fair market value thereof; or

(iii) with respect to a Collateral Interest subject to a Material Default, for a price that (x) the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or (y) the Trustee, as applicable, determines to be at least equal to the fair market value of such Collateral Interest (any purchase in this clause (iii) and clause (ii) above is referred to herein as a “Credit Risk/Defaulted Collateral Interest Cash Purchase”).

If the Collateral Manager directs the sale of a Collateral Interest acquired in violation of the applicable Eligibility Criteria, the Acquisition Criteria or the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements, the Issuer may sell such Collateral Interest to the Collateral Manager or an Affiliate thereof for a Cash purchase price that is equal to the Par Purchase Price. If the Collateral Manager does not promptly direct the sale of a Collateral Interest that is determined to have been acquired in violation of the applicable Eligibility Criteria, the Acquisition Criteria or the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements, the Issuer shall satisfy the Rating Agency

-196-

Condition with respect to such Collateral Interest within sixty (60) days after such date of determination. If the Issuer satisfies the Rating Agency Condition with respect to such Collateral Interest within such time period, the Issuer may retain such Collateral Interest. If the Issuer does not satisfy the Rating Agency Condition with respect to such Collateral Interest within such time period, the Issuer shall promptly sell such Collateral Interest to the Collateral Manager or an Affiliate thereof for a cash purchase price that is equal to the Par Purchase Price thereof.

If a Collateral Interest that is a Defaulted Collateral Interest is not sold or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer within three years of such Collateral Interest becoming a Defaulted Collateral Interest, the Collateral Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Issuer to sell or otherwise dispose of such Collateral Interest as soon as commercially practicable thereafter. Any sale or other disposition of a Collateral Interest shall be subject to the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements.

(c) Whether any offer constitutes a fair price for any Collateral Interest subject to a Material Default shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person. If the Trustee is required to determine the fair price for any Collateral Interest subject to a Material Default, Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Issuer), and shall, if the purchaser is the Seller or any of its Affiliates, designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five years’ experience in valuing or investing in mortgage loans similar to such Collateral Interest, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine the fair market value for such Collateral Interest. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any such third party determination; provided that no offer from an Interested Person will constitute a fair price for purposes of this Section 12.1 unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) if such Collateral Interest has been marketed for sale for a period of less than three months, at least one other offer is received from an independent third party. All reasonable fees and costs of any appraisals, inspection reports, and opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be paid in advance of any determination by the applicable Interested Person; provided that the Trustee may not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.

(d) One or more Collateral Interests subject to Material Defaults (without regard to whether any such Collateral Interest is a Defaulted Collateral Interest) or Credit Risk Collateral Interests may be disposed of at any time, following disclosure to, and approval by, the Advisory Committee, by the Collateral Manager directing the Issuer to exchange such Collateral Interests subject to Material Defaults or Credit Risk Collateral Interests for (1) one or more Collateral Interests owned by the Collateral Manager or an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager that satisfies the Eligibility Criteria and the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements (such Collateral Interest, an “Exchange Collateral Interest”) or (2) a combination of one or more Exchange Collateral Interests and cash; provided that:

(i) the sum of (a) the Par Purchase Price of such Exchange Collateral Interest plus (b) the cash amount (if any) to be paid to the Issuer by the Collateral Manager or an affiliate of the Collateral Manager, in connection with such exchange, is equal to or greater than the Par Purchase Price of the Credit Risk Collateral Interest or Collateral Interest subject to Material Default sought to be exchanged; and

-197-

(ii) with respect to any such exchange of a Credit Risk Collateral Interest after the Reinvestment Period, the Credit Risk Exchange Limitation is satisfied.

(e) In addition to the above, the Majority of the Preferred Shareholders shall have an assignable right to purchase (i) any Collateral Interest subject to a Material Default (without regard to whether such Collateral Interest is a Defaulted Collateral Interest) and (ii) any Credit Risk Collateral Interest for a purchase price equal to, (x) until the Disposition Limitation Threshold has been met, the Par Purchase Price, and (y) after the Disposition Limitation Threshold has been met, following disclosure to, and approval by, the Advisory Committee, the greater of (1) the Par Purchase Price and (2) the fair market value thereof.

(f) After the Issuer has notified the Trustee and the Note Administrator of an Optional Redemption, a Clean-up Call, a Tax Redemption or an Auction Call Redemption in accordance with Section 9.3, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, and acting pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement, may at any time direct the Trustee in writing by Issuer Order to sell, and the Trustee shall sell in the manner directed by the Majority of the Preferred Shareholders in writing, any Collateral Interest without regard to the foregoing limitations in Section 12.1(a); provided that:

(i) the Sale Proceeds therefrom must be used to pay certain expenses and redeem all of the Notes in whole but not in part pursuant to Section 9.1, and upon any such sale the Trustee shall release the lien on such Collateral Interest pursuant to Section 10.12 and the Custodian shall upon receipt of a Release Request, release the related Collateral Interest File;

(ii) the Issuer may not direct the Trustee to sell (and the Trustee shall not be required to release) a Collateral Interest pursuant to this Section 12.1(b) unless:

(1) the Collateral Manager certifies to the Trustee and the Note Administrator that, in the Collateral Manager’s reasonable business judgment based on calculations included in the certification (which shall include the sales prices of the Collateral Interests), the Sale Proceeds from the sale of one or more of the Collateral Interests and all Cash and proceeds from Eligible Investments will be at least equal to the Total Redemption Price; and

(2) the Independent accountants appointed by the Issuer pursuant to Section 10.13 shall recalculate the calculations made in clause (1) above and prepare an agreed-upon procedures report; and

(iii) in connection with an Optional Redemption, an Auction Call Redemption, a Clean-up Call, or a Tax Redemption, all the Collateral Interests to be sold pursuant to this Section 12.1(f) must be sold in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 9.1(f).

-198-

(g) In the event that any Notes remain Outstanding as of the Payment Date occurring six months prior to the Stated Maturity Date of the Notes, the Collateral Manager will be required to determine whether the proceeds expected to be received on the Collateral Interests prior to the Stated Maturity Date of the Notes will be sufficient to pay in full the principal amount of (and accrued interest on) the Notes on the Stated Maturity Date. If the Collateral Manager determines, in its sole discretion, that such proceeds will not be sufficient to pay the outstanding principal amount of and accrued interest on the Notes on the Stated Maturity Date of the Notes, the Issuer will, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, be obligated to liquidate the portion of Collateral Interests sufficient to pay the remaining principal amount of and interest on the Notes on or before the Stated Maturity Date. The Collateral Interests to be liquidated by the Issuer will be selected by the Collateral Manager.

(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall be permitted to sell or otherwise transfer (including as a contribution) to (i) a Permitted Subsidiary at any time any Sensitive Asset for consideration consisting of equity interests in such Permitted Subsidiary (or an increase in the value of equity interests already owned), and (ii) an REO Subsidiary at any time, any REO Property for consideration consisting of equity interests in such REO Subsidiary (or an increase in the value of equity interests already owned).

(i) Under no circumstance shall the Trustee in its individual capacity be required to acquire any Collateral Interests or any property related thereto.

(j) The Issuer may (A) sell any Collateral Interest to the Seller pursuant to the Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement in connection with a Material Breach, a Material Document Defect or a Combined Loan Repurchase Event for a purchase price equal to the Par Purchase Price, or (B) substitute any Collateral Interest pursuant to the Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement in connection with a Material Breach, a Material Document Defect or a Combined Loan Repurchase Event for (1) a Collateral Interest that is owned by the Seller that satisfies the applicable Eligibility Criteria, subject to the satisfaction of the Acquisition Criteria and the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements (such Collateral Interest, a “Substitute Collateral Interest”) or (2) a combination of a Substitute Collateral Interest and Cash; provided that with respect to any affected Collateral Interest, the sum of (x) the Par Purchase Price thereof plus (y) the Cash amount (if any) to be paid to the Issuer in connection with such exchange, is equal to or greater than the Par Purchase Price of the Collateral Interest sought to be exchanged.

(k) In the event that any Collateral Interest is subject to a mezzanine intercreditor agreement, Partition Agreement, subordination agreement or other agreement which grants a third party the option to purchase the Collateral Interest, and such third party exercises its option to purchase such Collateral Interest, the Issuer may sell such Collateral Interest to the holder of such purchase option or its designee, at the price specified in the applicable mezzanine intercreditor agreement, Partition Agreement, subordination agreement or other agreement.

(l) In the case of a sale of a Credit Risk Collateral Interest or a Collateral Interest subject to a Material Default, or the exchange of a Credit Risk Collateral Interest or a Collateral Interest subject to a Material Default, in each case, which is a Combined Loan, the related Mortgage Loan and the corresponding Mezzanine Loan shall be sold or exchanged together. In addition, with respect to any Loans or Collateral Interests that are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other, including with respect to any Combined Loan, if one of such Loans or Collateral Interests is to be sold in any manner described herein, the Issuer will be required to dispose of such Loans or Collateral Interests and all of the related cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted Loans or Collateral Interests, unless the related borrower satisfies the conditions in the related Loan Documents for the uncrossing of such Loans or Collateral Interests.

-199-

(m) In the event that a Collateral Interest or the underlying Loan is modified pursuant to the Servicing Agreement in a way that creates one or more new Companion Interests that did not previously exist, or with respect to which the principal amount of one or more of the newly created Companion Interests was previously part of either the Collateral Interest or the underlying Loan, the Issuer will be permitted to dispose of the newly created Companion Interest.

(n) Any Collateral Interest sold pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall be released from the lien of this Indenture.

Section 12.2 Reinvestment Collateral Interests.

(a) During the Reinvestment Period, amounts (or Eligible Investments) credited to the Reinvestment Account may, but are not required to, be reinvested in Reinvestment Collateral Interests (which shall be, and hereby are upon acquisition by the Issuer, Granted to the Trustee pursuant to the Granting Clause of this Indenture) that satisfy the applicable Eligibility Criteria, the Acquisition Criteria and the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee and the Note Administrator substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto, as of the related Transfer Date.

ARTICLE 14

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 14.1 Form of Documents Delivered to the Trustee and the Note Administrator.

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

Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer 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 Co-Issuer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or any other Person, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or such other Person, unless such Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel also may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer, certifying as to the factual matters that form a basis for such Opinion of Counsel and stating that the information with respect to such matters is in the possession of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

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

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Trustee or the Note Administrator at the request or direction of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, then notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer’s or the Co-Issuer’s rights to make such request or direction, the Trustee or the Note Administrator 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(h).

-207-

Section 14.2 Acts of Securityholders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Securityholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders 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 the Note Administrator, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer and/or the Co-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 Securityholders 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, the Note Administrator, the Issuer and the Co-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 or the Note Administrator deems sufficient.

(c) The principal amount and registered numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of his holding the same, shall be proved by the Notes Register. The Notional Amount and registered numbers of the Preferred Shares held by any Person, and the date of his holding the same, shall be proved by the register of members maintained with respect to the Preferred Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee and the Note Administrator may conclusively rely on an Investor Certification to determine ownership of any Notes.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Securityholder shall bind such Securityholder (and any transferee thereof) of such Security and of every Security 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, the Note Administrator, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Preferred Share Registrar, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, all demands, notices and communications may be made by electronic mail. Any of the above-referenced Persons may change its address or email address for notices hereunder by giving notice of such change to the other Persons. All notices and demands shall be deemed to have been given at the time of the delivery at the address or email address of such Person for notices hereunder if personally delivered, mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or sent by overnight courier or email; provided, however, that any notice delivered after normal business hours of the recipient or on a day which is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been given on the next succeeding Business Day. All communications with the 17g-5 Information Provider shall be conducted in the manner required by Section 14.13.

Section 14.4 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture or the Servicing Agreement provides for notice to Holders of Notes of any event,

(a) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Notes if posted on the Note Administrator’s Website and delivered to DTC, or in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Note affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Notes Register or via DTC, not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice;

(b) such notice shall be in the English language; and

(c) all reports or notices to Preferred Shareholders shall be sufficiently given if posted on the Note Administrator’s Website or provided in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Preferred Share Paying Agent.

-215-

The Note Administrator shall deliver to the Holders of the Notes any information or notice in its possession, requested to be so delivered by at least 25% of the Holders of any Class of Notes.

Neither the failure to mail any notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Note shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Notes. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification to Holders of Notes shall be made with the approval of the Note Administrator and shall constitute sufficient notification to such Holders of Notes 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 and with the Note Administrator, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In the event that, by reason of the suspension of the regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee and the Note Administrator shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

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 and the Co-Issuer shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

Section 14.7 Severability.

In case any provision in this Indenture or in the 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 Securities, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than (i) the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and (ii) the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Collateral Manager, the Preferred Shareholders, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Preferred Share Registrar, the Noteholders and the Sponsor (each of whom shall be an express third party beneficiary hereunder), any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 14.11 Counterparts and Signatures.

This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 14.12 Liability of Co-Issuers.

Notwithstanding any other terms of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement entered into between, inter alios, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or otherwise, neither the Issuer nor the Co-Issuer shall have any liability whatsoever to the Co-Issuer or the Issuer, respectively, under this Indenture, the Notes, any such agreement or otherwise and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, neither the Issuer nor the Co-Issuer shall be entitled to take any steps to enforce, or bring any action or proceeding, in respect of this Indenture, the Notes, any such agreement or otherwise against the other Co-Issuer or the Issuer, respectively.

(e) no consent, approval, authorization or order of or declaration or filing with any government, governmental instrumentality or court or other Person is required for the performance by the Advancing Agent of its duties hereunder, except such as have been duly made or obtained.

Upon delivery of the required instruments, the resignation or removal of the retiring Advancing Agent shall become effective and such successor Advancing Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Advancing Agent hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement.

(b) Except with respect to the Backup Advancing Agent as set forth in Section 16.5(d), no appointment of a successor Advancing Agent shall become effective unless (1) the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to the appointment of such successor Advancing Agent and (2) such successor has a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “A” by ▇▇▇▇▇ and “A2” by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, and whose short-term unsecured debt rating is at least “F1” from Fitch and “P-1” from Moody’s.

If the Collateral Manager determines that the exercise of such option would be in the best interest of the Noteholders, and upon request by the Holder of a Majority of the Preferred Shares, the Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying such determination, accompanied by an Act of the Holder of a Majority of the Preferred Shares directing the Issuer to exercise such right. In connection with the purchase of any such Other Tranche(s), the Issuer shall assign to the Holder of a Majority of the Preferred Shares or its designee all of its right, title and interest in such Other Tranche(s) in exchange for a purchase price (such price and any other associated expense of such exercise to be paid by the Holder of a Majority of the Preferred Shares) of the Other Tranche(s) (or, if the Loan Documents permit, the Issuer may assign the purchase right to the Holder of a Majority of the Preferred Shares or its designee; otherwise the Holder of a Majority of the Preferred Shares or its designee shall fund the purchase by the Issuer, which shall then assign the Other Tranche(s) to the Holder of a Majority of the Preferred Shares or its designee), which amount shall be delivered by such Holder or its designee from its own funds to or upon the instruction of the Collateral Manager in accordance with terms of the Loan Documents related to the acquisition of such Other Tranche(s). The Issuer shall execute and deliver at the direction of such Holder of a Majority of the Preferred Shares such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title to such Holder of the Majority of Preferred Shares or its designee of the Other Tranche(s) and the Trustee shall have no responsibility with regard to such Other Tranche(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Other Tranche purchased hereunder by the Issuer shall not be subject to the Grant to the Trustee under the Granting Clause.
