All covenants and agreements made by the Co-Issuers herein are for the benefit and security of the Noteholders, the Trustee, the Hedge Counterparty and the Collateral Manager (collectively, the “Secured Parties”). The Co-Issuers are entering into this Indenture, and the Trustee is accepting the trusts created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

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

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, all accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, securities, investment property and any and all other property (other than Excepted Property) of any type or nature owned by it, including (a) the Collateral Debt Securities and Equity Securities (listed, as of the Closing Date, in the Schedule of Collateral Debt Securities) which the Issuer causes to be delivered to the Trustee (directly or through a Securities Intermediary) herewith, all payments thereon or with respect thereto, all Collateral Debt Securities and Equity Securities which are delivered to the Trustee (directly or through a Securities Intermediary) after the Closing Date pursuant to the terms hereof and all payments thereon or with respect thereto, (b) the Accounts, Eligible Investments purchased with funds on deposit in said Accounts and all income from the investment of funds therein, (c) the Collateral Management Agreement, the Hedge Agreements and the Hedge Collateral (if any), and the Collateral Administration Agreement, (d) all Cash and Money delivered to the Trustee (directly or through a Securities Intermediary) and (e) all proceeds, accessions, profits, income benefits, substitutions and replacements, whether voluntary or involuntary, of and to any of the property of the Issuer described in the preceding clauses (collectively, the “Collateral”). Such Grants are made, however, in trust, to secure the Notes equally and ratably without prejudice, priority or distinction between any Note and any other Note by reason of difference in time of issuance or otherwise, except as expressly provided in this Indenture, and to secure (i) the payment of all amounts due on the Notes in accordance with their respective terms, (ii) the payment of all other sums payable under this Indenture (including the Collateral Management Fee and all amounts payable to the Collateral Manager under this Indenture and the Collateral Management Agreement), (iii) the payment of all amounts due from the Issuer to the Hedge Counterparty

under the Hedge Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and (iv) compliance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Hedge Agreements, all as provided in this Indenture and the Hedge Agreements (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”).

Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Issuer does hereby constitute and irrevocably appoint the Trustee the true and lawful attorney of the Issuer, with full power (in the name of the Issuer or otherwise), to exercise all rights of the Issuer with respect to the Collateral held for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties, and to ask, require, demand, receive, settle, compromise, compound and give acquittance for any and all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due under or arising out of any of the Collateral held for the benefit of and security of the Secured Parties, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Trustee may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises. The power of attorney Granted pursuant to this Indenture and all authority hereby conferred are granted and conferred solely to protect the Trustee’s interest in the (i) Collateral held for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties, and shall not impose any duty upon the Trustee to exercise any power. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable as one coupled with an interest prior to the payment in full of all the obligations secured hereby.

Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Indenture, this Indenture shall constitute a security agreement under the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Notes, and in addition to any other rights available under this Indenture or any other instruments included in the Collateral held for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties, or otherwise available at law or in equity, the Trustee shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the laws of the State of New York and other applicable law to enforce the assignments and security interests contained herein and, in addition, shall have the right, subject to compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or apply any rights and other interests assigned or pledged hereby in accordance with the terms hereof at public or private sale.

It is expressly agreed that anything therein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer shall remain liable under any instruments included in the Collateral to perform all the obligations assumed by it thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof, and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee shall not have any obligations or liabilities under such instruments by reason of or arising out of this Indenture, nor shall the Trustee be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any obligations of the Issuer under or pursuant to such instruments or to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

The designation of the Trustee in any transfer document or record is intended and shall be deemed, first, to refer to the Trustee as custodian on behalf of the Issuer and, second, to refer to the Trustee as secured party on behalf of the Secured Parties; provided, that the Grant made by the Issuer to the Trustee pursuant to the Granting Clauses hereof shall apply to any Collateral bearing such designation.

The Trustee acknowledges such Grants, accepts the trusts hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, and agrees to perform the duties herein to the best of its ability such that the interests of the Secured Parties may be adequately and effectively protected.

Section 1.2. Assumptions, Calculations and Determinations as to Collateral Debt Securities, Etc.

(a) The provisions set forth in this Section 1.2 shall be applied in connection with all calculations or determinations required to be made pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Scheduled Distributions on any Pledged Security, or any payments on any other assets included in the Collateral, and with respect to the income that can be earned on Scheduled Distributions on such Pledged Securities and on any other amounts that may be received for deposit in the Collection Accounts.

(b) All calculations and determinations with respect to Scheduled Distributions on the Pledged Securities securing the Notes shall be made by the Collateral Manager using (in the case of the Collateral Debt Securities) the assumptions that (i) no Pledged Security defaults or is sold, (ii) any clean-up call with respect to a Pledged Security will be exercised when economic to the Person or Persons entitled to exercise such call, and (iii) no other optional redemption of any Pledged Security will occur except for those that have actually occurred or as to which irrevocable notice thereof shall have been given. To the extent they are not manifestly in error, any information or report received by the Collateral Manager with respect to a Collateral Debt Security may be conclusively relied upon in making such calculations.

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with the Coverage Tests, except as otherwise specified in the Coverage Tests, there shall be excluded all Scheduled Distributions in respect of any Defaulted Security, Deferred Interest Collateral Debt Security or Equity Security or any payment including any Hedge Payment Amounts payable to the Issuer by the Hedge Counterparty as to which the Collateral Manager has determined in its reasonable judgment will not be made in Cash or will not be received when due. For purposes of calculating each Interest Coverage Ratio:

(i) the expected interest income on Floating Rate Collateral Debt Securities, Eligible Investments and under the Hedge Agreements and the expected interest payable on the Notes will be calculated using the interest rates applicable thereto on the applicable Measurement Date;

(ii) accrued original issue discount on Eligible Investments will be deemed to be a scheduled interest payment thereon due on the date such original issue discount is scheduled to be paid; and

(iii) it will be assumed that no principal payments are made on the Notes during the applicable periods.

(d) For each Due Period, the Scheduled Distribution on any Pledged Security (other than (A) a Defaulted Security or (B) a Deferred Interest Collateral Debt Security, which in either case, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be assumed to have a Scheduled Distribution of zero) shall be the sum of (x) the total amount of payments and collections in respect of such Pledged Security that, if paid as scheduled, will be available in the Collection Accounts at the end of the Due Period for payment on the Notes and of certain expenses of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, plus (y) any such amounts received in prior Due Periods that were not disbursed on a previous Distribution Date; provided, that such sum shall be computed without regard to any amounts excluded from the determination of compliance with the Coverage Tests pursuant to Section 1.2(c).

(e) Subject to Section 1.2(c), each Scheduled Distribution receivable with respect to a Pledged Security shall be assumed to be received on the applicable Due Date, and each such Scheduled Distribution shall be assumed to be immediately deposited in the Interest Collection Account or the Principal Collection Account, as the case may be. All such funds shall be assumed to continue to earn interest until the date on which they are required to be available in the Collection Accounts for transfer to the Payment Account and application, in accordance with the terms hereof, to payments of principal of or interest and the Commitment Fee on the Notes or other amounts payable pursuant to this Indenture.

(f) With respect to any Collateral Debt Security as to which any interest or other payment thereon is subject to withholding tax of any Relevant Jurisdiction, each Distribution thereon shall, for purposes of the Coverage Tests, be deemed to be payable net of such withholding tax unless the issuer thereof or obligor thereon is required to make additional payments sufficient on an after tax basis to cover any withholding tax imposed on payments to the Issuer with respect thereto. On any date of determination, the amount of any Scheduled Distribution due on any future date shall be assumed to be made net of any such uncompensated withholding tax based upon withholding tax rates in effect on such date of determination.

(g) Any reference in Section 1.1(a) in the definition of “Base Collateral Management Fee,” “Commitment Fee,” “Commitment Fee Rate”, “Subordinate Collateral Management Fee” to an amount calculated with respect to a period at a per annum rate or to interest determined at a fixed rate per annum shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(h) For the purpose of determining any payment to be made on any Distribution Date pursuant to any applicable clause of Section 11.1(a), any Coverage Test referred to in such clause shall be calculated as of the relevant Distribution Date after giving effect to all payments to be made on such Distribution Date prior to such payment in accordance with such clause of Section 11.1(a). In addition, for purposes of determining whether any Interest Coverage Test is satisfied pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i), if a payment of principal of any Class of Notes is to be

made at the same level or at a more senior level in the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 11.1(a)(i), then the related Interest Coverage Ratio shall be calculated on a pro forma basis on the assumption that (i) such payment of principal had been made on the immediately preceding Distribution Date and (ii) the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class of Notes for the current Distribution Date was correspondingly reduced to reflect the lower Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of such Class of Notes.

(i) For the purpose of interpreting the definitions of Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds, all payments of interest received or amounts collected that are attributable to interest received on the Collateral Debt Securities during the relevant Due Period shall be excluded from Interest Proceeds and included in Principal Proceeds to the extent such payments or amounts constitute accrued interest purchased with Principal Proceeds.

Consequently, none of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee or any of their respective agents has or will have any responsibility or liability for (i) any aspect of DTC’s records or any direct participant’s or indirect participant’s records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in any Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC’s records or any direct participant’s or indirect participant’s records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in any Global Note or (ii) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its direct participants or indirect participants.

Section 2.3. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

(a) The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Co Issuers by an Authorized Officer of each of the Co Issuers. The signatures of such Authorized Officers on each of the Notes may be manual or facsimile (including in counterparts).

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

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

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

(e) Notes issued upon transfer, exchange or replacement of other Notes shall be issued in authorized denominations reflecting the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced, but shall represent only the current Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced. In the event that any Note is divided into more than one Note in accordance with this Section 2, the original principal amount of such Note and the current Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of such Note shall be proportionately divided among the Notes delivered in exchange therefor and shall be deemed to be the original aggregate principal amount of such subsequently issued Notes.

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

Section 2.4. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

(a) Registration of Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed as the registrar of the Notes (the “Note Registrar”). The Trustee is hereby appointed as a Transfer Agent with respect to the Notes. The Note Registrar shall keep a register (the “Note Register”) for the Notes, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall provide for the registration of and the registration of transfers of Notes. Upon any resignation or removal of the Note Registrar or Share Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, in the absence of such appointment, assume the duties of the Note Registrar. The Co-Issuers may not

terminate the appointment of the Note Registrar or any Transfer Agent without the consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class.

Subject to this Section 2.4, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Notes at the office or agency of either Co-Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2, the Co-Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount.

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

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

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Co-Issuers and the Note Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith and expenses of delivery (if any) not made by regular mail.

The Trustee shall keep a register (the “Class A-1B Register”) at the Corporate Trust Office in which the Trustee shall maintain a record of the Commitments applicable to each Holder of Class A-1B Notes and the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of advances from time to time outstanding in respect of such Class A-1B Notes.

(b) Transfers of Notes.

The presentation for transfer or exchange of any Definitive Note shall not be valid unless made at the Corporate Trust Office or at the office of a Transfer Agent by the registered Noteholder in person, or by a duly authorized attorney in fact. Beneficial interests in Global Notes which are Regulation S Global Notes or Restricted

(ix) For so long as one or more Global Notes are Outstanding:

(A) the Trustee and its directors, Officers, employees and agents may deal with the Depositary for all purposes (including the making of distributions on, and the giving of notices with respect to, the Global Notes);

(B) unless otherwise provided herein, the rights of Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Depositary;

(C) for purposes of determining the identity of and principal amount of Notes beneficially owned by a Beneficial Owner, the records of the Depositary shall be conclusive evidence of such identity and principal amount and the Trustee may conclusively rely on such records when acting hereunder and none of the Issuer, the Co Issuer, the Trustee or any of their respective agents shall have any responsibility or liability for (i) any aspect of DTC’s records or any direct participant’s or indirect participant’s records relating to, or payments made on

account of, beneficial ownership interests in any Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC’s records or any direct participant’s or indirect participant’s records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in any Global Note or (ii) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its direct or indirect participants;

(c) Representations. Each purchaser of a Definitive Note (or any beneficial interest therein) will be required to acknowledge, represent to and agree with the Co Issuers, as applicable, and the Placement Agent and each purchaser of a beneficial interest in a Global Note will be deemed to acknowledge, represent to and agree with the Co Issuers and the Placement Agent, as follows:

(1) No Governmental Approval. The purchaser understands that the Notes have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC or any other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction, nor has the SEC or any other governmental authority or agency passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the Offering Circular. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

(2) Certification Upon Transfer. If required by the other provisions of this Section 2.4, the purchaser will, prior to any sale, pledge or other transfer by it of any Note (or any interest therein), obtain from the transferee and deliver to the Co-Issuers and the Note Registrar a duly executed Regulation S Note Transfer Certificate or Rule 144A Transfer Certificate, as applicable, addressed to each of the Trustee, the Co-Issuers, the Note Registrar and the Collateral Manager and such other certificates and other information as the Co Issuers, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee or the Note Registrar may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer substantially complies with the transfer restrictions contained herein. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each initial purchaser of a Class E Note (or any interest in either of the foregoing) will be required to represent, warrant and covenant that it will not transfer such Class E Note (or such interest therein) without providing the Issuer and the Trustee with a written certification, in the form of Exhibit R hereto, for the benefit of the Issuer and the Trustee from the transferee thereof that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional

Buyer, and that such transferee will obtain the same representation, warranty and covenant from any entity to whom it transfers such Class E Note (or such interest therein).

(3) Minimum Denominations; Form of Notes. The purchaser agrees that no Note (or any interest therein) may be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred in a denomination of less than the applicable minimum denomination set forth herein.

(4) Securities Law Limitations on Resale. The purchaser understands that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. Persons (as defined in Rule 902(k) promulgated under the Securities Act) unless they are registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is available. Accordingly, the certificates representing the Notes will bear a legend stating that such Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and setting forth certain of the restrictions on transfer of the Notes, as the case may be, described herein. The purchaser understands that the Co-Issuers have no obligation to register any of the Notes under the Securities Act or to comply with the requirements for any exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (other than to supply Rule 144A Information pursuant to Section 7.14).

(5) Qualified Institutional Buyer and Non-U.S. Person Status; Investment Intent. In the case of a purchaser who takes delivery of Notes in the form of a Restricted Global Note, it is a Qualified Institutional Buyer. In the case of a purchaser who takes delivery of Notes in the form of a Regulation S Global Note, it is not a U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S) and it is purchasing such Notes (or interest therein) for its own account and not for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person and, in addition, in the case of a purchaser who takes delivery of Class E Notes in the form of a Regulation S Global Note, it is a Qualified Institutional Buyer.

(6) Purchaser Sophistication; Non-Reliance; Suitability; Access to Information. The purchaser (a) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks (including for tax, legal, regulatory, accounting and other financial purposes) of its prospective investment in Notes, (b) is financially able to bear such risk, (c) in making such investment is not relying on the advice or recommendations of the Placement Agent, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or any of their respective affiliates (or any representative of any of the foregoing) and (d) has determined that an investment in Notes is suitable and appropriate for it. The initial purchaser has received, and has had an adequate opportunity to review the contents of, the Offering Circular. The purchaser has had access to such financial and other information concerning the Co-Issuers, the Preferred Shares and the Notes as it has deemed necessary to make its own independent decision to purchase Notes, including the opportunity, at a reasonable time prior to its purchase of Notes, to ask questions and receive answers concerning the Co-Issuers and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Notes.

(7) Certain Resale Limitations; Rule 144A. No Note (or any interest therein) may be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred to (i) a transferee acquiring a

Restricted Note except (a) to a transferee that the seller reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, purchasing for its own account, to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or other transfer is being made in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A, (b) to a Qualified Purchaser, (c) to a transferee that is not a Flow-Through Investment Vehicle (other than a Qualifying Investment Vehicle), (d) if such transfer is made in compliance with the certification and other requirements set forth in this Indenture and (e) if such transfer is made in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and any other relevant jurisdiction or (ii) a transferee acquiring an interest in a Regulation S Note except (a) to a transferee that is acquiring such interest in an offshore transaction (within the meaning of Regulation S) in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S, (b) to a transferee that is not a U.S. Person, (c) in the case of transferee of a Class E Note, to a transferee that is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, (d) to a transferee that is not a Flow-Through Investment Vehicle (other than a Qualifying Investment Vehicle), (e) if such transfer is made in compliance with the other requirements set forth in this Indenture and (f) if such transfer is made in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and any other relevant jurisdiction.

(8) Limited Liquidity. The purchaser understands that there is no market for Notes and that no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of any trading market for Notes and that it is unlikely that a trading market for any of the Notes or will develop. The purchaser further understands that, although the Placement Agent may from time to time make a market in Notes, the Placement Agent is under no obligation to do so and, following the commencement of any market-making, may discontinue such market-making at any time. Accordingly, the purchaser must be prepared to hold Notes for an indefinite period of time or until their maturity.

(9) ERISA. (a) In the case of each purchaser or transferee of a Class A Note, Class B Note, Class C Note or Class D Note (or an interest in any of the foregoing), either (i) it is not (and for so long as it holds such Note will not be), and is not acting on behalf of (and for so long as it holds such Note will not be acting on behalf of), an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, a “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, an entity which is deemed to hold plan assets of any of the foregoing by reason of investment by an employee benefit plan or plan in such entity or a governmental plan which is subject to any applicable law that is substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or (ii) its purchase, holding and disposition of the Note will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or, in the case of a governmental plan, any substantially similar applicable law).

(b) In the case of each purchaser or transferee of a Class E Note (or an interest therein), it is not (and for so long as it holds such Note will not be), and is not acting on behalf of (and for so long as it holds such Note will not be acting on behalf of), an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA (whether or not subject to Title I of ERISA, and including, without limitation, foreign and governmental plans), a “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or an entity which is deemed to hold plan assets of any of the foregoing by reason of investment by an employee benefit plan

or plan in such entity (including, without limitation, certain insurance company general accounts) (each of the foregoing, a “Benefit Plan Investor).

(10) 1940 Act. In the case of each purchaser of a Note or Preferred Shares, (A) if the Purchaser is purchasing a Class E Note, the Purchaser is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act; and (B) if the purchaser is a U.S. Person, the purchaser (i) is both a “qualified purchaser” for purposes of Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act and a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act; (ii) is acquiring the Offered Securities as principal solely for its own account for investment and not with a view to the resale, distribution or other disposition thereof in violation of the Securities Act; (iii) has made investments prior to the date hereof and was not formed solely for the purpose of investing in the Offered Securities, or, if it has not made investments prior to the date hereof and was formed solely for the purpose of investing in the Offered Securities, each beneficial owner of the purchaser is a “qualified purchaser” for purposes of Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act; (iv) is not a (A) partnership, (B) common trust fund, or (C) special trust, pension, profit sharing or other retirement trust fund or plan in which the partners, beneficiaries or participants may designate the particular investments to be made; (v) agrees that it shall not hold any Offered Securities for the benefit of any other person, that it shall at all times be the sole beneficial owner thereof for purposes of the 1940 Act and all other purposes and that it shall not sell participation interests in the Offered Securities or enter into any other arrangement pursuant to which any other person shall be entitled to a beneficial interest in the distributions on the Offered Securities; and (vii) agrees that all Offered Securities (together with any other securities of the Co-Issuers) purchased and held directly or indirectly by it constitute in the aggregate an investment of no more than 40% of its assets or capital.

If the purchaser is a U.S. Person, the purchaser represents that, unless the purchaser is a Qualifying Investment Vehicle (as defined below), (a) if the purchaser would be an investment company but for the exception in Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act, the amount of the purchaser’s investment in the Notes or Preferred Shares does not exceed 40% of the total assets (determined on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries) of the purchaser; (b) no person owning any equity or similar interest in the purchaser has the ability to control any investment decision of the purchaser or to determine, on an investment-by-investment basis, the amount of such person’s contribution to any investment made by the purchaser; (c) the purchaser was not organized or reorganized for the specific purpose of acquiring a Note; and (d) no additional capital or similar contributions were specifically solicited from any person owning an equity or similar interest in the purchaser for the purpose of enabling the purchaser to purchase Notes (any such transferee in (a), (b), (c) or (d) above being herein referred to as a “Flow-Through Investment Vehicle”). For this purpose, a “Qualifying Investment Vehicle” is an entity (i) as to which all of the beneficial owners of any securities issued by such entity have made, and as to which (in accordance with the document pursuant to which such entity was organized or the agreement or other document governing such securities) each such beneficial owner must require any transferee of any such security to make, to the Issuer or the Co-Issuers, as the case may be, and the Note Registrar each of the representations set forth herein required to be made

upon transfer of any of the relevant Class of Notes (with modifications to such representations satisfactory to the Collateral Manager and the Issuer to reflect the indirect nature of the interests of such beneficial owners in such Notes). If the purchaser is a Flow-Through Investment Vehicle, the purchaser represents and warrants that either (a) none of the beneficial owners of its securities are U.S. Persons or (b) some or all of the beneficial owners of its securities are U.S. Persons and each such beneficial owner has certified to the purchaser that it is a Qualified Purchaser. If the purchaser is a Flow-Through Investment Vehicle, the purchaser also represents and warrants that it has only one class of securities outstanding (other than any nominal share capital the distributions in respect of which are not correlated to or dependent upon distributions on, or the performance of, the Notes or Preferred Shares).

(11) Certain Transfers Void. In the case of a purchaser who takes delivery of Notes in the form of a Restricted Definitive Note or an interest in a Restricted Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, the purchaser agrees that (a) any sale, pledge or other transfer of a Note (or any interest therein) made in violation of the transfer restrictions contained in this Indenture, or made based upon any false or inaccurate representation made by the purchaser or a transferee to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee or the Note Registrar, will be void and of no force or effect and (b) none of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee or the Note Registrar has any obligation to recognize any sale, pledge or other transfer of a Note (or any interest therein) made in violation of any such transfer restriction or made based upon any such false or inaccurate representation.

(12) Cayman Islands. The purchaser is not a member of the public in the Cayman Islands.

(13) Reliance on Representations, etc. The purchaser acknowledges that the Co-Issuers, the Placement Agent, the Trustee, the Note Registrar and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements and agrees that, if any of the acknowledgments, representations or warranties made or deemed to have been made by it in connection with its purchase of Notes are no longer accurate, the purchaser will promptly notify the Co-Issuers and the Placement Agent.

(14) Legend for Notes. The purchaser understands and agrees that a legend in substantially each of the following forms will be placed on each certificate representing any Notes:

(j) Physical Notes. The Co-Issuers will promptly make available to the Trustee without charge a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes in definitive, fully Registered Form, without interest coupons.

Section 2.5. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

If (a) any mutilated or defaced Note is surrendered to a Transfer Agent, or if there shall be delivered to the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the 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 the Specified Persons such security or indemnity as may reasonably be required by them to save each 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 Co-Issuers shall execute and shall direct the Trustee to authenticate, and upon Issuer Request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note or a new Note of like tenor as such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen 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, the Specified Persons shall be entitled to recover such new Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Specified Persons in connection therewith.

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

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.5, the Co-Issuers, the Trustee or any Transfer Agent 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 2.5 in lieu of any mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Co-Issuers and such new Note shall be entitled, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 2.5, to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

(B) interest upon the Class C Deferred Interest at the applicable Note Interest Rate, interest upon the Class D Deferred Interest at the applicable Note Interest Rate, interest upon the Class E Deferred Interest at the applicable Note Interest Rate and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, upon Defaulted Interest at the applicable Note Interest Rate,

(C) any accrued and unpaid amounts (including termination payments, if any) payable by the Issuer pursuant to the Hedge Agreements, and

(D) all unpaid taxes and administrative expenses and other sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel;

(ii) the Trustee has determined that all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of or interest or the Commitment Fee 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 determination or waived such Default or Event of Default as provided in Section 5.14; and

(iii) the Hedge Agreements in effect at the time of a declaration of an acceleration shall remain in effect until liquidation of the Collateral has begun and such declaration is no longer capable of being rescinded or annulled.

At any such time as the Trustee shall rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, the Trustee shall preserve the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5; provided, that, if such preservation of the Collateral is rescinded pursuant to Section 5.5, the Notes may be accelerated pursuant to Section 5.2(a), notwithstanding any previous rescission and annulment of a declaration of acceleration pursuant to this Section 5.2(b).

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

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

The Co-Issuers covenant that if a Default shall occur in respect of the payment of any principal of or interest on or the Commitment Fee on any Class A Note or Class B Note, the payment of principal of or interest on any Class C Note, Class D Note or Class E Note (but with respect to interest, only after the Class A Notes, and the Class B Notes and, as applicable, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes, and all interest accrued thereon have been paid in full and the Aggregate Undrawn Amount under the Class A-1B Notes has been reduced to zero), as applicable, the Co-Issuers will upon demand of the Trustee or any affected Noteholder, pay to 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 and the Commitment Fee with interest upon the overdue principal and the Commitment Fee and, to the extent that payments of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest at the applicable

Note Interest Rate and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and 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, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may, and shall, upon the direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class, prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Co-Issuers or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the Monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Collateral.

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

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

(a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest and the Commitment Fee owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes upon direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class 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) and of the Noteholders allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes and the Hedge Agreements or to the creditors or property of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or such other obligor;

(b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of the Notes, upon the direction of such Holders, in any election of a trustee or a standby

trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency Proceedings or person performing similar functions in comparable Proceedings; and

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

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any 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, subject to the payment of the reasonable expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor trustee and their respective agents and attorneys and counsel, shall be for the benefit of the Secured Parties and payable to the Secured Parties in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

In any Proceedings brought by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders, the Trustee shall be held to represent, subject to Section 6.17, all the Secured Parties.

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 except in accordance with Section 5.5(a).

Section 5.4. Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Notes have been declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Co-Issuers agree that the Trustee may after notice to the Noteholders, the Collateral Manager, the Hedge Counterparty, the Preferred Share Paying Agent and each Rating Agency, 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 Monies adjudged due;

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

(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, that the Trustee may not sell or liquidate the Collateral or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.4 except in accordance with Section 5.5(a).

The Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of any action proposed to be taken in accordance with this Section 5.4 and as to the sufficiency of the proceeds and other amounts receivable with respect to the Collateral to make the required payments of principal of and interest and the Commitment Fee on the Notes, 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) 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 Principal Amount of the Controlling Class or the Hedge Counterparty 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, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, any Noteholder or Noteholders 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.

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

Any such sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall bind the Co-Issuers, the Trustee, the Hedge Counterparty and the

Noteholders, shall operate to divest all right, title and interest whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of each of them in and to the property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each of them and their successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming through or under them.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee may not, prior to the date which is one year and one day, or if longer the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all Notes, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under federal or state bankruptcy or similar laws. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Trustee (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year and one day period, or if longer the applicable preference period then in effect, in (A) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or (B) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Trustee or (ii) from commencing against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or any of its properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium, liquidation or similar proceeding.

Section 5.5. Preservation of Collateral.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing when any Class of Notes is Outstanding (and the Commitment Period Termination Date has not occurred), the Trustee shall retain the Collateral securing the Notes intact, 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 securing the Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the provisions of Sections 10, 12 and 13 unless:

(i) the Trustee determines 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 for principal, interest (including Class C Deferred Interest, Class D Deferred Interest, Class E Deferred Interest, Defaulted Interest and interest on Defaulted Interest, if any), Commitment Fee due and unpaid administrative expenses as limited by clause (2) of Section 11.1(a)(i) and any accrued and unpaid Hedge Payment Amounts payable by the Issuer pursuant to the Hedge Agreements, including termination payments (assuming, for this purpose, that each Hedge Agreement has been terminated by reason of an event of default or termination with respect to the Issuer); or

(ii) if the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of each Class of Notes voting as a separate Class direct, subject to the provisions hereof, the sale and liquidation of the Collateral.

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

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

(c) In determining whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, (i) the Trustee shall obtain bid prices with respect to each security contained in the Collateral from two nationally recognized dealers, as specified by the Collateral Manager in writing, which are Independent from each other and the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates, at the time making a market in such securities and shall compute the anticipated proceeds of sale or liquidation on the basis of the lower of such bid prices for each such security and (ii) such condition will be deemed not to exist if the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Controlling Class give notice to the Trustee to the effect that the Trustee has not followed the procedures set forth in this Indenture in making the relevant determinations required pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i). For the purposes of making the determinations required pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i), the Trustee shall apply the standards set forth in Section 9.1(b). In addition, for the purposes of determining issues relating to the execution of a sale or liquidation of the Pledged Securities and the execution of a sale or other liquidation thereof in connection with a determination whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Trustee may retain and rely on an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation.

The Trustee shall deliver to the Noteholders, the Collateral Manager, the Hedge Counterparty and the Co-Issuers a report stating the results of any determination required pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i) no later than 10 days after making such determination. The Trustee shall make the determinations required by Section 5.5(a)(i) within 30 days after an Event of Default and at the request of a Majority of the Controlling Class at any time during which the Trustee retains the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i). In the case of each calculation made by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i), the Trustee shall obtain a letter of an Independent certified public accountant confirming the accuracy of the computations of the Trustee and certifying their conformity to the requirements of this Indenture. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of any Class of Notes have given any direction or notice or have agreed pursuant to Section 5.5(a), any Holder of a Note of a Class who is also a Holder of Notes of another Class or any Affiliate of any such Holder shall be counted as a Holder of each such Note for all purposes.

(d) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at a time when no Note is Outstanding (and the Commitment Period Termination Date has occurred), the Trustee shall retain the Collateral securing the Notes intact, 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 Section 10 and Section 12 unless a Majority-in-Interest of Preferred Shareholders direct the sale and liquidation of the Collateral.

Section 5.6. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any Proceeding relating thereto, and any such Proceeding instituted by the

Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7.

Section 5.7. Application of Money Collected.

Any Money collected by the Trustee with respect to the Notes pursuant to this Section 5 and any Money that may then be held or thereafter received by the Trustee with respect to the Notes hereunder shall be applied subject to Section 13.1 and in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee.

Section 5.8. Limitation on Suits.

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

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

(b) except as otherwise provided in Section 5.9, the Holders of at least 25% in Aggregate Outstanding Principal 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 Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(c) the Trustee for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and 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 30-day period by a Majority of the Controlling Class;

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

If 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 follow the instructions of the group representing the higher percentage of interest in the Controlling Class, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

Section 5.9. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal, Interest and the Commitment Fee.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture (other than Section 2.6(i)), the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest and the Commitment Fee on such Note as such principal and interest and the Commitment Fee become due and payable in accordance with Section 13.1 and the Priority of Payments and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.8, to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 5.10. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

Section 5.11. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Noteholders or Hedge Counterparty 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 by law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.12. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

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

Section 5.13. Control by Controlling Class.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (but subject to the proviso in the definition of “Outstanding” in Section 1.1(a)), 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 for exercising any trust, right, remedy or power conferred on the Trustee; 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, 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 satisfactory indemnity against such liability as set forth below);

(d) any direction to the Trustee to undertake a Sale of the Collateral shall be made only pursuant to, and in accordance with, Sections 5.4 and 5.5.

Section 5.14. Waiver of Past Defaults.

Prior to the time a judgment or decree for payment of the Money due has been obtained by the Trustee, as provided in this Section 5, a Majority of the Controlling Class may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, acting with the consent of the Hedge Counterparty, waive any past Default and its consequences, except a Default:

(a) in the payment of the principal of any Note or in the payment of interest (including Defaulted Interest and interest on Defaulted Interest, if any) or the Commitment Fee on the Class A Notes or Class B Notes or, after the Class A Notes and Class B Notes have been paid in full, on the Class C Notes, or, after the Class C Notes have been paid in full, on the Class D Notes or, after the Class D Notes have been paid in full, on the Class E Notes (including Class C Deferred Interest, Class D Deferred Interest, Class E Deferred Interest, Defaulted Interest and interest on Defaulted Interest, if any); or

(b) 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 affected thereby; or

In the case of any such waiver, (i) the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto and (ii) the Trustee shall promptly give written notice of any such waiver to the Collateral Manager, the Preferred Share Paying Agent and each Holder of Notes. The Rating Agencies shall be promptly notified in writing by the Issuer of any such waiver.

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

Section 5.15. Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by 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 the Trustee or any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Controlling Class, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest or the Commitment Fee on any Note on or after the Stated Maturity expressed in such Note (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 Co-Issuers covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force (including 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, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect), which may affect the covenants, the performance of or any remedies under this Indenture; and each of the Co-Issuers (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.

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 shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of such Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Collateral shall have been sold or all amounts secured by the Collateral shall have been paid. The Trustee may upon notice to the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparty, and shall, upon direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class from time to time postpone any Sale by announcement made at the time and place of such Sale; provided that, if the Sale is rescheduled for a date more than 10 Business Days after the date of the determination by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.5, such Sale shall not occur unless and until the Trustee has again made the determination required by Section 5.5. The Trustee hereby expressly waives its rights to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale; provided, that the Trustee shall be authorized to deduct the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by it in connection with such Sale from the proceeds thereof notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7.

(b) The Trustee may bid for and acquire any portion of the Collateral in connection with a public Sale thereof, by crediting all or part of the net proceeds of such Sale after deducting the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such Sale notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7. The Notes need not be produced in order to

complete any such Sale, or in order for the net proceeds of such Sale to be credited against amounts owing on the Notes. The Trustee may hold, lease, operate, manage or otherwise deal with any properly so acquired in any manner permitted by law in accordance with this Indenture.

(c) If any portion of the Collateral consists of securities not registered under the Securities Act (“Unregistered Securities”), the Trustee may seek an Opinion of Counsel, or, if no such Opinion of Counsel can be obtained and with the consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class, seek a no-action position from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any other relevant federal or state regulatory authorities, regarding the legality of a public or private sale of such Unregistered Securities (the costs of which, in each case, shall be reimbursable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.8).

(d) 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. In addition, the Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such sale. No purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee’s authority, to inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any Monies.

Section 5.18. Action on the Notes.

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

ARTICLE VI

THE TRUSTEE

Section 6.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

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

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

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, that, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform to the requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly, but in any event within

three Business Days in the case of an Officer’s certificate furnished by the Collateral Manager, notify the party delivering the same if such certificate or opinion does not conform. In the case of an Officer’s Certificate to be provided by the Collateral Manager or the Issuer, if a corrected form shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 15 days after such notice from the Trustee, the Trustee shall so notify the Noteholders.

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

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

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

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

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

(iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it (if the amount of such funds or risk or liability does not exceed the amount payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i)(2) net of the amounts specified in Section 6.8(a)(i), the Trustee shall be deemed to be reasonably assured of such repayment) unless such risk or liability relates to performance of its ordinary services, including under Section 5, under this Indenture; and

(v) the Trustee shall not be liable to the Noteholders for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith at the direction of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the Holders of the Notes under the circumstances in which such direction is required or permitted by the terms of this Indenture.

100

For purposes of determining the Trustee’s responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is made in this Indenture to such an Event of Default or such a Default, as the case may be, such reference shall be construed to refer only to such an Event of Default or such a Default, as the case may be, of which the Trustee is deemed to have notice as described in this Section 6.1(d).

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

For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes “by the Trustee.”

Any entity into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any entity 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 entity.

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

The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating thereto and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to Section 6.8. The provisions of Sections 2.8, 6.5 and 6.6 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

Section 6.5. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes.

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

103

Section 6.6. May Hold Notes.

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

Section 6.7. Money Held in Trust.

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

Section 6.8. Compensation and Reimbursement.

(a) The Issuer agrees:

(i) to pay the Trustee on each Distribution Date reasonable compensation for all services, including custodial services, rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee (subject to any written agreement between the Issuer and the Trustee) in a timely manner upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (or any other agreement associated herewith, whether acting as Trustee or in any other capacity) or in the enforcement of any provision hereof and expenses related to the maintenance and administration of the Collateral (including securities transaction charges and the reasonable compensation and expenses and disbursements of its agents and legal counsel and of any accounting firm or investment banking firm employed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.4, 5.5, 5.17 or 10.11, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, but only to the extent any such securities transaction charges have not been waived during a Due Period due to the Trustee’s receipt of a payment from a financial institution with respect to certain Eligible Investments, as specified by the Collateral Manager);

(iii) to indemnify the Trustee and its Officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder (or under any other agreement associated herewith, whether acting as Trustee or in any other capacity); and

104

(iv) to pay the Trustee reasonable additional compensation together with its expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) for any collection action taken pursuant to Section 6.14.

(d) The amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Sections 6.8(a) (other than amounts received by the Trustee from financial institutions under clause (a)(ii) above) shall not, except as provided by Section 11.1(a)(i)(21) or Section 11.1(a)(ii)(13), exceed on any Distribution Date the Dollar limitation described in Section 11.1(a)(i)(2) for such Distribution Date and the Trustee shall have a lien ranking senior to that of the Noteholders upon all property and funds held or collected as part of the Collateral to secure payment of amounts payable to the Trustee under this Section 6.8 not to exceed such amount with respect to any Distribution Date; provided, that (i) the Trustee shall not institute any proceeding for enforcement of such lien except in connection with an action pursuant to Section 5.3 or 5.4 for the enforcement of the lien of this Indenture for the benefit of the Secured Parties and (ii) the Trustee may only enforce such a lien in conjunction with the enforcement of the rights of the Secured Parties in the manner set forth in Section 5.4.

The Trustee shall, subject to the Priority of Payments, receive amounts pursuant to this Section 6.8 and Sections 11.1(a)(i) and (ii) only to the extent that the payment thereof will not result in an Event of Default and the failure to pay such amounts to the Trustee will not, by itself, constitute an Event of Default. Subject to Section 6.10, the Trustee shall continue to serve as Trustee under this Indenture notwithstanding the fact that the Trustee shall not have received amounts due it hereunder and hereby agrees not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer for the nonpayment to the Trustee of any amounts provided by this Section 6.8 until at least one year and one day, or if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this Indenture. No direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class shall affect the right of the Trustee to collect amounts owed to it under this Indenture.

The indemnifications in favor of the Trustee in this Section 6.8 shall survive any resignation or removal of any Person acting as Trustee (to the extent of any indemnified liabilities, costs, expenses and other amounts arising or incurred prior to, or arising out of actions or omissions occurring prior to, such resignation or removal).

105

If the Co-Issuers shall fail to appoint a successor trustee within 60 days after such resignation, removal or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor trustee may be appointed by Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class delivered to the Co-Issuers and the retiring Trustee. The successor trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor trustee and supersede any successor trustee proposed by the Co-Issuers. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed by the Co-Issuers or such Holders and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, subject to Section 5.15, any Holder may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

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

108

In the event that such payment is not made within such time period, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(c)(iv), shall take such action as the Collateral Manager shall direct in writing. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default under this Indenture. In the event that the Issuer or the Collateral Manager requests a release of a Pledged Security and/or delivers a new Collateral Debt Security in connection with any such action under the Collateral Management Agreement, such release and/or delivery shall be subject to Section 10.10 and Section 12, as the case may be.

Any Moneys deposited with a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) in excess of an amount sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due on the Notes with respect to which such deposit was made shall be paid over by such Paying Agent to the Trustee for application in accordance with Section 10.

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

114

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

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

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

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

The declaration of trust pursuant to which the ordinary shares of the Issuer are held on trust provides that the holders of such shares may not exercise their voting rights with respect to such shares so as to amend the Issuer Charter unless the Rating Condition is satisfied with respect to such modification and the Holders of any Class of Notes would not be materially adversely affected by such modification.

Section 7.13. Annual Rating Review.

(a) So long as any Class of Notes remains Outstanding (and the Commitment Period Termination Date has not occurred), on or before December 31 in each year commencing in 2006, the Co-Issuers shall obtain and pay for an annual review of the rating of each Class of Notes from each Rating Agency.

(b) The Co-Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing and the Trustee shall promptly notify the Noteholders, the Hedge Counterparty and the Preferred Shareholders if at any time the rating of any Class of Notes has been, or is known will be, changed or withdrawn.

Section 7.14. Reporting.

At any time when either 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 or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule 144A Information to such

124

Holder or Beneficial Owner, to a prospective purchaser of such Note designated by such Holder or Beneficial Owner or to the Trustee 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.

Section 7.15. Calculation Agent.

(a) The Co-Issuers hereby agree that, for so long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding (and the Commitment Period Termination Date has not occurred), the Co-Issuers will at all times cause there to be an agent appointed to calculate LIBOR in respect of each Interest Period in accordance with the terms of Schedule B (the “Calculation Agent”), which agent shall be a financial institution, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, having a rating of at least “BBB+” by Standard & Poor’s and “BBB+” by Fitch and having an office within the United States. The Co-Issuers have initially appointed the Trustee as Calculation Agent for purposes of determining LIBOR for each Interest Period. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Co-Issuers at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such, is removed by the Co-Issuers or fails to determine the Note Interest Rate for any Class of Notes or the amount of interest payable in respect of any Class of Notes for any Interest Period, the Co-Issuers will promptly appoint as a replacement Calculation Agent a leading bank that is engaged in transactions in U.S. Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurodollar market and which does not control and is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed. The determination of the Note Interest Rate for the Notes for each Interest Period by the Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on all parties.

(b) The Calculation Agent shall, as soon as possible after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately following each LIBOR Determination Date, calculate the Note Interest Rate for each Class of Notes (or, with respect to any LIBOR Determination Date relating to a Borrowing Date, the Note Interest Rate for the portion of the Class A-1B Notes being drawn on such Borrowing Date) for the related Interest Period and the amount of interest for the related Interest Period payable in respect of each U.S.$1,000 in principal amount of each Class of Notes (in each case rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upward) on the related Distribution Date and will communicate such rates and amounts and the related Distribution Date to the Co-Issuers, the Trustee, each Paying Agent (other than the Preferred Share Paying Agent), the Depositary, Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and (in the case of any Class of Notes listed on the Irish Stock Exchange) the Irish Stock Exchange. The Calculation Agent will also specify to the Co-Issuers the quotations upon which the Note Interest Rate for each Class of Notes is based, and in any event the Calculation Agent shall notify the Co-Issuers before 5:00 p.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date that either: (i) it has determined or is in the process of determining the Note Interest Rate for each Class of Notes or (ii) it has not determined and is not in the process of determining such Note Interest Rates, together with its reasons therefor. The Calculation Agent also will cause the Note Interest Rate for each Interest Period for each Class of Notes listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, the amount of interest payable in respect of each Class of Notes listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and each Distribution Date

125

to be delivered to the Company Announcements Office of the Irish Stock Exchange as soon as possible after the Calculation Agent has determined such Note Interest Rates and amounts.

(a) The Issuer will use its best efforts to obtain and maintain the listing of each Class of Notes on the Irish Stock Exchange, and the listing of the Preferred Shares on the Channel Islands Stock Exchange.

Section 7.17. Amendment of Certain Documents.

Prior to entering into any waiver in respect of any of the foregoing agreements, the Issuer shall provide Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, the Hedge Counterparty, the Collateral Manager and the Trustee with written notice thereof and otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 7.5(d).

Section 7.18. Use of Uninvested Proceeds to Purchase Additional Collateral Debt Securities Prior to Ramp-Up Completion Date, Subject to the Ratings Confirmation.

(a) In accordance with the terms of this Section 7.18, following the Closing Date until the Ramp-Up Completion Date, the Issuer will use Uninvested Proceeds and Uninvested Interest Proceeds to purchase additional Collateral Debt Securities, including pursuant to the Master Forward Sale Agreement, such that the total amount of Collateral Debt Securities held by the Issuer following such purchases will be approximately equal to the Aggregate Ramp-Up Par Amount; provided, that the Issuer will only use Uninvested Proceeds and Uninvested Interest Proceeds to purchase Collateral Debt Securities if: (i) such securities meet the Collateral Debt Security Criteria; (ii) the Eligibility Criteria are satisfied with respect thereto (or, in the case of any securities purchased pursuant to the Master Forward Sale Agreement, the Eligibility Criteria are satisfied with respect to such securities on the date a forward sale transaction was entered into by the Issuer with respect thereto); (iii) no Event of Default exists or will exist after giving effect to such acquisition; and (iv) each such Collateral Debt Security shall have been Granted to the Trustee hereunder, the procedures identified in Section 3.3 of this Indenture relating to the perfection of the Trustee’s security interest in the Collateral Debt Security have taken place and the Trustee shall have a first priority, perfected security interest therein. All such purchases of additional Collateral Debt Securities shall be made on the terms set forth in this Indenture, and the Issuer shall not acquire any Collateral Debt Securities after the Closing Date in violation of any of the requirements of this Indenture. In addition, the Issuer may purchase additional Collateral Debt Securities from time to time prior to the Ramp-Up Completion Date from Xxxxxxx Xxxxx International pursuant to the Master Forward Sale Agreement. Issuer may not acquire any Collateral Debt Securities unless such acquisition is made (a) on an “arm’s length basis” for fair market value or (b) pursuant to a warehouse agreement or the Master Forward Sale Agreement. The Issuer will not acquire any Collateral Debt Securities after the Ramp-Up Completion Date, except for the settlement of purchases of Collateral Debt Securities pursuant to agreements entered into on or prior to the Ramp-Up Completion Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the

126

Issuer will not acquire any Collateral Debt Security if such acquisition is for the primary purpose of recognizing gains or decreasing losses resulting from market value changes.

(b) Seven Business Days after the Ramp-Up Completion Date, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall deliver an Officer’s certificate to the Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty and each Rating Agency demonstrating compliance by the Issuer with its obligations under this Section 7.18 and satisfaction of each applicable Coverage Test and each Collateral Quality Test and certifying the satisfaction of the Collateral Debt Security Criteria and the Eligibility Criteria with respect to each Collateral Debt Security or, if on the Ramp-Up Completion Date, the Issuer shall be in default in the performance of its obligations under this Section 7.18 or any of the Coverage Tests or Collateral Quality Tests shall fail to be satisfied, or any of the Collateral Debt Security Criteria or Eligibility Criteria shall fail to be satisfied with respect to any Collateral Debt Security, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall deliver an Officer’s certificate to the Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty and each Rating Agency specifying the details of such default or failure. In addition, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall promptly notify each Rating Agency when a Collateral Debt Security becomes a Defaulted Security.

The aggregate Principal Balance of Pledged Securities that evidence obligations of a single issuer must:

(i) not exceed 3.75% of the aggregate Principal Balance on such date and, with respect to the date on which any additional Collateral Debt Security is purchased, the purchase of such additional Collateral Debt Security must not cause the aggregate Principal Balance of Pledged Securities that evidence obligations of a single issuer to exceed 3.75% of the aggregate Principal Balance on such date or;

(ii) if the aggregate Principal Balance of Pledged Securities that evidence obligations of the obligor of such additional collateral debt security exceeds 3.75% of the aggregate Principal Balance prior to such purchase, such purchase must not cause such percentage to increase.

(c) No later than seven Business Days after the Ramp-Up Completion Date, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty and each Rating Agency a list of all Collateral Debt Securities and Equity Securities held by the Issuer (or with respect to which the Issuer has entered into a binding purchase agreement) on the Ramp-Up Completion Date and an Accountants’ Report certifying the procedures applied and their associated findings with respect to the Collateral Quality Tests set forth in Section 7.18 for each Pledged Collateral Debt Security held by the Issuer on the Ramp-Up Completion Date.

(d) No later than seven Business Days after the Ramp-Up Completion Date, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall notify the Trustee, each of the Rating Agencies and each Hedge Counterparty of the occurrence of the Ramp-Up Completion Date and request in writing (each, a “Ramp-Up Notice”) that each of the Rating Agencies confirm in writing within 30 days after receipt of such Ramp-Up Notice that it has not reduced or

127

withdrawn the ratings (including any shadow, private or confidential ratings, if any) assigned by it, if any, on the Closing Date to any Class of Notes (a “Ratings Confirmation”). The Issuer will be deemed to have obtained a confirmation of the ratings assigned by Fitch on the Closing Date if (i) such Rating Agency does not notify the Issuer in writing within 30 days after receipt of such Ramp-Up Notice that any such rating (including shadow, private or confidential ratings, if any) has been reduced or withdrawn and (ii) all Coverage Tests and Collateral Quality Tests are satisfied on the Ramp-Up Completion Date. In the event that the Issuer is unable to obtain a Ratings Confirmation after the occurrence of the Ramp-Up Completion Date (a “Ramp-Up Ratings Confirmation Failure”), the Issuer will be required to apply Uninvested Proceeds and, to the extent that Uninvested Proceeds are insufficient to redeem the Notes in full, Interest Proceeds (including Uninvested Interest Proceeds) and Principal Proceeds to the repayment of, first, the Class A-1 Notes, pro rata, second, the Class A-2A Notes, third, the Class A-2B Notes, fourth, the Class B Notes, pro rata, fifth, the Class C Notes, pro rata, sixth, the Class D Notes and seventh, the Class E Notes, in accordance with Section 11.1(a) as, and to the extent, necessary to obtain a Ratings Confirmation from each Rating Agency.

(f) to modify the restrictions on and procedures for resale and other transfer of the Notes to reflect any changes in any applicable law or regulation (or the interpretation thereof) or to enable the Co-Issuers to rely upon any less restrictive exemption from registration under the Securities Act or the Investment Company Act or to remove restrictions on resale and transfer to the extent not required thereunder;

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or indemnities under this Indenture or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.

The Trustee shall not enter into any such supplemental indenture described in clauses (a) through (k) of this Section 8.1 if, as a result of such supplemental indenture, the interests of any Holder, any Preferred Shareholder or the Hedge Counterparty would be materially adversely affected thereby. Unless notified by (i) a Majority of any Class of Notes or a Majority-in-Interest of Preferred Shareholders that such Class or Preferred Shareholders will be materially adversely affected or (ii) the Hedge Counterparty that such Hedge Counterparty will be adversely affected, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee as described in Section 8.3 as to whether or not the interests of any Holders, any Preferred Shareholder or the Hedge Counterparty, as applicable, would be materially adversely affected by any such supplemental indenture (after giving notice of such change to each Holder, each Preferred Shareholder and the Hedge Counterparty). The Trustee shall not enter into any such supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8.1 that could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Collateral Manager unless the Collateral Manager gives written consent to the Trustee and the Issuer to such supplemental indenture at least one (1) Business Day prior to such execution and delivery.

At the cost of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee shall provide to each Rating Agency a copy of any proposed supplemental indenture at least 15 Business Days’ prior to the execution thereof by the Trustee, and, for so long as any Notes are Outstanding (and the Commitment Period Termination Date has not occurred), request that the Rating Condition with respect to such supplemental indenture be satisfied, and, as soon as practicable after the execution by the Trustee and the Co-Issuers of any such supplemental indenture, provide to each Rating Agency a copy of the executed supplemental indenture. The Trustee shall not enter into any such supplemental indenture if, with respect to such supplemental indenture, the Rating Condition would not be satisfied; provided, that the Trustee may, with the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes of each Class and the Hedge Counterparty, enter into any such supplemental indenture notwithstanding any such reduction or withdrawal of the ratings of any Outstanding Class of Notes.

Section 8.2. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders.

With the consent of (v) each Holder of each Outstanding Note of each Class materially adversely affected thereby and a Majority-in-Interest of Preferred Shareholders (if the Preferred Shareholders are materially adversely affected thereby), by Act of said Noteholders or by written consent of the Preferred Shareholders (which consent shall be evidenced by an Officer’s

132

certificate of the Issuer certifying that such consent has been obtained) delivered to the Trustee and the Co-Issuers and (w) the consent of the Hedge Counterparty (if materially adversely affected thereby) (delivered by the Hedge Counterparty to the Trustee and the Co-Issuers), the Trustee and the Co-Issuers may, subject to the requirement provided below in this Section 8.2 with respect to the ratings of the Notes and subject to Section 8.3, enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto to add any provisions to, or change in any manner or eliminate any of the provisions of, this Indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes of such Class, the Preferred Shares or the Hedge Counterparty, as the case may be, under this Indenture; provided, that notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, no such supplemental indenture shall be entered into without the consent of (i) each Holder of each Outstanding Note of each Class, (ii) each Preferred Shareholder (which consent shall be evidenced by an Officer’s certificate of the Issuer certifying that such consent has been obtained) and (iii) the Hedge Counterparty (if materially adversely affected thereby) (delivered by the Hedge Counterparty to the Trustee and the Co-Issuers), if such supplemental indenture proposes to:

(a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of or the due date of any installment of interest or the Commitment Fee on any Note, reduce the principal amount thereof or the Note Interest Rate or the Commitment Fee Rate thereon, or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the earliest date on which the Co-Issuers may redeem any Note, change the provisions of this Indenture relating to the application of proceeds of any Collateral to the payment of principal of or interest or the Commitment Fee on the Notes, change any place where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the principal thereof or interest or the Commitment Fee thereon is payable or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date);

(b) reduce the percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of Holders of Notes of each Class whose consent is required for the authorization of any supplemental indenture or for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain Defaults hereunder or their consequences provided for in this Indenture;

(d) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Collateral or terminate such lien on any property at any time subject hereto (other than in connection with the sale thereof in accordance with this Indenture) or deprive the Holder of any Note of the security afforded by the lien of this Indenture;

(e) reduce the percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of Holders of Notes of each Class whose consent is required to request that the Trustee preserve the Collateral or rescind the Trustee’s election to preserve the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.5 or to sell or liquidate the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.4 or 5.5;

133

(f) modify any of the provisions of this Section 8.2, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby;

(g) modify the definition of the term “Outstanding,” Section 11.1 or Section 13.1;

(h) change the permitted minimum denominations of any Class of Notes; or

(i) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such a manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest or the Commitment Fee on or principal of any Note or the rights of the Holders of Notes to the benefit of any provisions for the redemption of such Notes contained herein.

Not later than 15 Business Days prior to the execution of any proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8.2, the Trustee, at the expense of the Co-Issuers, shall mail to the Noteholders, the Hedge Counterparty, the Collateral Manager, the Preferred Share Paying Agent and each Rating Agency a copy of such proposed supplemental indenture (or a description of the substance thereof) and shall request that the Rating Condition with respect to such supplemental indenture be satisfied. If any Class of Notes is then rated by any Rating Agency, the Trustee shall not enter into any such supplemental indenture if, as a result of such supplemental indenture, the Rating Condition would not be satisfied with respect to such supplemental indenture, unless each Holder of Notes of each Class whose rating will be reduced or withdrawn has, after notice that the proposed supplemental indenture would result in such reduction or withdrawal of the rating of the Class of Notes held by such Holder, consented to such supplemental indenture. The Trustee shall not enter into any such supplemental indenture if, as a result of such supplemental indenture, the interests of any Holder, Preferred Shareholder or Hedge Counterparty would be materially adversely affected thereby. Unless notified by a Majority of any Class of Notes, a Majority-in-Interest of Preferred Shareholders or the Hedge Counterparty that such Class of Notes, the Preferred Shares or the Hedge Counterparty, as the case may be, will be materially adversely affected, the Trustee may, consistent with the written advice of counsel, determine whether or not such Class of Notes, the Preferred Shares or the Hedge Counterparty would be materially adversely affected by such change (after giving notice of such change to each Noteholder, Preferred Shareholder and the Hedge Counterparty). Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all present and future Holders, Preferred Shareholders and the Hedge Counterparty. The Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith and in reliance in good faith upon an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee as described in Section 8.3.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders or any consent of Preferred Shareholders or Hedge Counterparty under this Section 8.2 to approve the particular form of any

134

proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act or consent shall approve the substance thereof.

Promptly after the execution by the Co-Issuers and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8.2, the Trustee, at the expense of the Co-Issuers, shall mail to the Noteholders, the Hedge Counterparty, the Preferred Share Paying Agent (for forwarding to the Preferred Shareholders), the Collateral Manager, the Irish Stock Exchange (in the case of any Class of Notes listed on the Irish Stock Exchange) and the Channel Islands Stock Exchange (in the case of any Preferred Shares listed on the Channel Islands Stock Exchange) and each Rating Agency a copy thereof. Any failure of the Trustee to publish or mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. In addition, promptly following the execution of any supplemental indenture or other modification pursuant to this Section 8.2, the Issuer shall deliver a copy of such supplemental indenture or other modification to the Repository for posting on the Repository in the manner described in Section 10.11.

Section 8.3. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

In executing or accepting the additional trusts created by any supplemental indenture permitted by this Section 8 or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.3) shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been complied with. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or indemnities under this Indenture or otherwise. The Trustee shall not enter into any supplemental indenture (including a supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2) that alters the rights or obligations of the Collateral Manager in any respect without the written consent of the Collateral Manager, and the Collateral Manager shall not be bound by any amendment to this Indenture which alters the rights or obligations of the Collateral Manager in any respect unless the Collateral Manager shall have consented thereto in writing.

Section 8.4. Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Section 8, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore and thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder, every Holder of Preferred Shares and the Hedge Counterparty shall be bound thereby.

Section 8.5. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures.

Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8 may, and if required by the Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Co-Issuers shall so determine, new Notes, so modified as to conform in the opinion of the Trustee and the Co-Issuers to any such supplemental indenture, may be prepared and executed

135

by the Co-Issuers and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

(a) The Notes shall be redeemable (in whole but not in part) on any Distribution Date at the option of the Co-Issuers (such redemption, an “Optional Redemption”) from Sale Proceeds and all other funds in the Interest Collection Account, Principal Collection Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Expense Account, the Semi-Annual Interest Reserve Account, and the Payment Account on such Distribution Date, as specified by the Co-Issuers, at the written direction of a Majority-in-Interest of Preferred Shareholders, at the applicable Redemption Price (exclusive of installments of principal and interest and the Commitment Fee due on or prior to such date, provided payment of which shall have been made or duly provided for, to the Holders of the Notes as provided in this Indenture); provided, that (i) no such Optional Redemption may be effected prior to the Distribution Date occurring in November 2010, (ii) the Sale Proceeds and all Cash and Eligible Investments credited to the Interest Collection Account, the Principal Collection Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Semi-Annual Interest Reserve Account, the Expense Account and the Payment Account on the relevant Distribution Date must be at least sufficient to redeem the Notes simultaneously in accordance with the procedures described in Section 9.1(b) and (iii) such Sale Proceeds are used to make such a redemption.

In addition, upon the occurrence of a Tax Event, the Notes shall be redeemable by the Co-Issuers on any Distribution Date (in whole but not in part) at the written direction of a Majority of any Affected Class (such redemption, a “Tax Redemption”) from Sale Proceeds and Cash and Eligible Investments credited to the Interest Collection Account, Principal Collection Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Expense Account and the Payment Account on such Distribution Date at the applicable Redemption Price (exclusive of installments of principal and interest and the Commitment Fee due on or prior to such date, provided payment of which has been made or duly provided for, to the Holders of the Notes as provided in this Indenture); provided, that (i) the Sale Proceeds and all Cash and Eligible Investments credited to the Interest Collection Account, Principal Collection Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Expense Account and the Payment Account on the relevant Distribution Date must be at least sufficient to redeem the Notes simultaneously in accordance with the procedures described in Section 9.1(b), (ii) such Sale Proceeds are used to make such a redemption, (iii) a Tax Event has occurred and (iv) the Tax Materiality Condition is satisfied.

In the event of an Optional Redemption or Tax Redemption pursuant to this Section 9.1(a), unless a Majority-In-Interest of the Preferred Shareholders have directed the Issuer to redeem the Preferred Shares on such Distribution Date, the amount of Collateral Debt Securities sold in connection with such Optional Redemption shall not exceed the amount necessary for the Issuer to obtain the Total Senior Redemption Amount.

136

(b) The Notes shall not be redeemed pursuant to Section 9.1(a) unless at least four Business Days before the scheduled Redemption Date, the Collateral Manager shall have furnished to the Trustee evidence (which evidence may be in the form of fax or electronic mail indicating firm bids satisfactory to the Trustee), that the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer has entered into a binding agreement or agreements with a financial institution or institutions whose long-term unsecured debt obligations (other than such obligations whose rating is based on the credit of a person other than such institution) have a credit rating from each Rating Agency at least equal to the then-highest rating of any Notes then Outstanding or whose short-term unsecured debt obligations have a credit rating of at least “A-1” by Standard & Poor’s, at least “P-1” by Moody’s and at least “F1” by Fitch to sell, not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Redemption Date, in immediately available funds, all or part of the Collateral Debt Securities at a sale price (including in such price the sale of accrued interest) which, when added to all Cash and Eligible Investments maturing on or prior to the scheduled Redemption Date, is equal to the Total Senior Redemption Amount.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, in connection with any Tax Redemption, Holders of at least 66-2/3% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of an Affected Class of Notes may elect to receive less than 100% of the portion of the Total Senior Redemption Amount that would otherwise be payable to Holders of such Affected Class (and the minimum funding requirements specified in the immediately preceding paragraph will be reduced accordingly).

(c) Installments of principal and interest and the Commitment Fee due on or prior to a Redemption Date shall continue to be payable to the Holders of such Notes as of the relevant Record Dates according to their terms. The election of the Issuer to redeem any Notes pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall be evidenced by an Issuer Order from the Collateral Manager directing the Trustee to make the payment to the Paying Agent of the Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be redeemed from funds in the Payment Account in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Issuer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, the funds required for an optional redemption pursuant to this Section 9.1 in the Payment Account on or before the fifth Business Day prior to the Redemption Date or, if later, upon receipt.

(d) The Issuer shall set the Redemption Date and the applicable Record Date and give notice thereof to the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.2.

(e) Any amounts applied to the redemption of the Class A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes, Class D Notes or Class E Notes pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall be applied to the Class A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes, Class D Notes or Class E Notes, respectively, in each case, pro rata in accordance with the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amounts of such Class of Notes on the date of such redemption.

Section 9.2. Notice to Trustee of Optional Redemption and Tax Redemption.

In the event of any redemption pursuant to Section 9.1, the Issuer shall, at least 30 days (but not more than 90 days) prior to the Redemption Date (unless the Trustee shall agree to a shorter notice period), notify the Trustee, the Collateral Manager and each Paying Agent of such Redemption Date, the applicable Record Date, the principal amount of each Class of Notes

137

to be redeemed on such Redemption Date and the Redemption Price of such Notes in accordance with Section 9.1.

Section 9.3. Notice of Auction Call Redemption, Optional Redemption or Tax Redemption or Maturity by the Co-Issuers.

Notice of redemption pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.5 or the Maturity of any Class of Notes shall be given by the Trustee by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 10 Business Days prior to the applicable Redemption Date or Maturity to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.5 or to mature, at such Holder’s address in the Note Register with a copy to the Hedge Counterparty and each Rating Agency. In addition, if and for so long as any Class of Notes to be redeemed is listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, the Trustee shall cause to be delivered to the Company Announcements Office of the Irish Stock Exchange notice of such Optional Redemption, Tax Redemption or Auction Call Redemption not less than 10 Business Days prior to the applicable Redemption Date and promptly notify the Irish Stock Exchange. All notices of redemption shall state:

(a) the applicable Redemption Date;

(b) the applicable Record Date;

(d) the principal amount of each Class of Notes to be redeemed and that interest on such principal amount of Notes shall cease to accrue on the date specified in the notice; and

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

The Co-Issuers shall have the option to withdraw the notice of Auction Call Redemption, Optional Redemption or Tax Redemption up to the fourth Business Day prior to the scheduled Redemption Date by written notice to the Trustee, the Hedge Counterparty and the Collateral Manager only if the Collateral Manager shall be unable to deliver the sale agreement or agreements or certifications (described in Section 9.1(b)), in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, or to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of an Auction Call Redemption set forth in Section 9.5, as the case may be. The Trustee will, if any Class of Notes to have been redeemed was listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, deliver a notice of such withdrawal to the Company Announcements Office of the Irish Stock Exchange not less than three Business Days prior to the scheduled Redemption Date and promptly notify the Irish Stock Exchange of such withdrawal.

The Issuer shall exercise its option to redeem the Notes as provided in Section 9.1(a) only upon receipt of the written direction of a Majority-in-Interest of Preferred Shareholders.

Notice of redemption shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, to the Hedge Counterparty on the third

138

Business Day prior to the scheduled Redemption Date; provided, that the Hedge Agreements in effect at the time notice of redemption is given shall remain in effect until liquidation of the Collateral has begun and such notice is no longer capable of being rescinded or annulled; provided, further, that if the Hedge Agreements shall have become subject to early termination prior to the receipt of such notice, the Issuer shall enter into one or more replacement Hedge Agreements for the terminated Hedge Agreement in accordance with Section 16.1(h).

At the cost of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee shall give notice of any withdrawal by overnight courier guaranteeing next day delivery, sent not later than the third Business Day prior to the scheduled Redemption Date, to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s address in the Note Register and to the Hedge Counterparty.

Notice of redemption shall be given by the Co-Issuers or, at the Co-Issuers’ request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Co-Issuers. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note selected for redemption shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Notes.

Section 9.4. Notes Payable on Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so 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 Co-Issuers shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Notes shall cease to bear interest and the Commitment Fee 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, that if there is delivered to the Co-Issuers and the Trustee (i) in the case of a Holder that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and (ii) an undertaking thereafter to surrender such Note, then, in the absence of notice to the Co-Issuers 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. Installments of interest on Notes of a Class so to be redeemed whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to the terms and provisions of Section 2.6(e).

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

Section 9.5. Auction Call Redemption.

In accordance with the procedures set forth in Schedule C (the “Auction Procedures”), the Collateral Manager shall, at the expense of the Co-Issuers, conduct an auction (the “Auction”) of all the Collateral Debt Securities if, on or prior to the Distribution Date occurring in November 2015, the Notes have not been redeemed in full. The Auction shall be

139

conducted not later than (a) the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date occurring in November 2015, and (b) if the Notes are not redeemed in full on such Distribution Date, each Distribution Date thereafter until all of the Collateral Debt Securities have been sold (each such date, an “Auction Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Manager shall not conduct an Auction on an Auction Date if an Auction was conducted on the preceding Auction Date and, due to market conditions, an Auction on such Auction Date is unlikely to be successful. Any of the Collateral Manager, the Preferred Shareholders, the Trustee or their respective Affiliates may, but shall not be required to, bid at the Auction. The Collateral Manager shall sell and transfer, or shall instruct the Trustee to sell and transfer, the Collateral Debt Securities to the highest bidder therefor (or the highest bidders therefor, in the event the pool of Collateral Debt Securities is divided and sold in Subpools) at the Auction; provided, that:

(i) the Auction has been conducted in accordance with the Auction Procedures;

(ii) the Collateral Manager has received bids for the Collateral Debt Securities (or for each of the related Subpools) from at least two prospective purchasers (including the winning bidder) identified on a list of qualified bidders (such bidders, “Qualified Bidders”) furnished by the Collateral Manager to the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture; provided, that the Issuer will be entitled to enter into an agreement for the purchase of the Collateral Debt Securities (or the relevant Subpool) with a Person other than a Qualified Bidder in the event that (A) such Person provides a bid in an amount greater than the highest bid received from any Qualified Bidder, (B) the Rating Condition is satisfied with respect thereto and (C) such Person provides credit support in respect of its purchase obligation in the form and amount requested, if any, by the Collateral Manager, the Issuer or any Rating Agency (including, without limitation, in the form of a letter of credit if so requested); provided, further, that in the event the Collateral Manager, the Preferred Shareholders, the Trustee or their respective Affiliates has met the requirements set forth in subclauses (B) and (C) of the preceding proviso, the Collateral Manager, the Preferred Shareholders, the Trustee, the Placement Agent or their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to purchase the Collateral Debt Securities, or any portion thereof, at a purchase price equal to the highest bid received therefor; and provided, still further, that, in accordance with the Auction Procedures, if the Trustee receives fewer than two bids to purchase all of the Collateral Debt Securities or to purchase each Subpool, the Trustee may, if a Majority-in-Interest of the Preferred Shareholders consents thereto in writing, and in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, accept such bid as the winning bid;

(iii) the Collateral Manager certifies that the highest bid(s) would result in the sale of all of the Collateral Debt Securities (or the related Subpools constituting all of the Collateral Debt Securities) for a purchase price (paid in cash) which together with the balance of all Eligible Investments and cash held by the Issuer (other than Eligible Investments and cash held in any Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account), together with the principal balance of any Subpools of Collateral Debt Securities that are not sold on or prior to such date, will be at least equal to the sum of (x) the Total Senior Redemption Amount, plus (y) an amount equal to the greater of (1)(A) the aggregate original purchase price of the Preferred Shares on the Closing Date, minus (B) the aggregate amount of all

140

cash distributions on the Preferred Shares (whether in respect of dividends or redemption payments made to the Preferred Share Paying Agent for distribution to the Preferred Shareholders on or prior to the relevant Auction Date) and (2) zero; and

(iv) subject to the proviso in paragraph (ii) above, the Qualified Bidder(s) who offered the Highest Auction Price for the Collateral Debt Securities (or the related Subpools) enter(s) into a written agreement with the Issuer (which the Issuer shall execute if the conditions set forth in (i) through (iii) of this Section 9.5 are satisfied, which execution shall constitute certification by the Issuer that such conditions have been satisfied) that obligates the highest bidder (or the highest bidder for each Subpool) to purchase all of the Collateral Debt Securities (or the relevant Subpool) with the closing of such purchase (and full payment in Cash to the Trustee) to occur on or prior to the sixth Business Day following the relevant Auction Date.

Provided that all of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 9.5 have been met, the Collateral Manager shall sell and transfer, or shall instruct the Trustee to sell and transfer, the Collateral Debt Securities (or each related Subpool), without representation, warranty or recourse, to such highest bidder (or the highest bidder for each Subpool, as the case may be) in accordance with and upon completion of the Auction Procedures. The Trustee shall deposit the purchase price for the Collateral Debt Securities in the Collection Accounts and the Notes and, to the extent funds are available therefor, the Preferred Shares shall be redeemed on the Distribution Date immediately following the relevant Auction Date (such redemption, an “Auction Call Redemption”) in accordance with the Priority of Payment.

If any of the foregoing conditions is not met with respect to any Auction, or if the highest bidder (or the highest bidder for any Subpool, as the case may be) fails to pay the purchase price on or before the sixth Business Day following the relevant Auction Date (and, in the case of any credit support provider in connection with a sale described in paragraph (ii) above, the provider of such credit support shall default in its payment obligations thereunder), (a) no Auction Call Redemption shall occur on the Distribution Date following the relevant Auction Date, (b) the Collateral Manager shall give notice to the Trustee of the withdrawal pursuant to Section 9.3, (c) subject to clause (d) below, the Collateral Manager or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall decline to consummate such sale and shall not solicit any further bids or otherwise negotiate any further sale of Collateral Debt Securities in relation to such Auction and (d) unless the Notes are redeemed in full prior to the next succeeding Auction Date, or the market conditions are such that such Auction would not likely be successful, the Collateral Manager shall conduct another Auction on the next succeeding Auction Date.

Section 9.6. Borrowing.

(a) On the Closing Date, the Co-Issuers shall borrow U.S.$72,000,000 under the Class A-1B Notes pursuant to the Class A-1B Note Purchase Agreement. On the 30th day of each month (or if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) during the Commitment Period, additional amounts may be borrowed by the Co-Issuers under the Class A-1B Notes pursuant to the Class A-1B Note Purchase Agreement (a “Borrowing”) at the direction of the Collateral Manager acting pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement;

141

provided, that (i) each applicable condition to such Borrowing specified in Section 4.2 of the Class A-1B Note Purchase Agreement is satisfied on the date of such Borrowing (a “Borrowing Date”), (ii) in no event may the aggregate amount of Borrowings outstanding under the Class A-1B Notes exceed the aggregate amount of Commitments in respect of the Class A-1B Notes, (iii) at the time of and immediately after giving effect to such Borrowing, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such Borrowing and (iv) in connection with each Borrowing, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee will authenticate a Class A-1B Note in the aggregate principal amount of the Borrowing.

(b) The Co-Issuers shall be entitled to submit a Borrowing Request only once in each month and the date of any such Borrowing shall be the 30th day of the relevant month (or if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day.

(c) On or prior to the fifth Business Day immediately preceding each Borrowing Date, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Co-Issuers will provide notice to the Trustee of the Co-Issuers’ intentions to effect a Borrowing.

(d) The Co-Issuers will duly and punctually perform each of its obligations under the Class A-1B Note Purchase Agreement.

(e) Upon each funding of the Class A-1B Commitments, the outstanding principal amount of the Class A-1A Notes shall be increased by the amount of such funding in exchange for the reduction in the same amount of the outstanding principal amount of the Class A-1B Notes and the amount of the Class A-1B Commitments, and each interest in such funded portion of the Class A-1B Notes shall be converted into an interest in the equivalent principal amount of the corresponding increased Class A-1A Notes. Upon the first Distribution Date, the outstanding principal amount funded under the Class A-1B Notes and the Class A-1A Notes shall constitute a single Class of Notes, the Class A-1A Notes.

(f) On the Commitment Period Termination Date, the entire Aggregate Undrawn Amount of the Class A-1B Notes (if any) will be reduced to zero.

In no event may any Financial Asset held in any Account be registered in the name of, payable to the order of, or specially indorsed to, the Issuer unless such Financial Asset has also been indorsed in blank or to the Custodian or other Securities Intermediary that holds such Financial Asset in such Account. Each Account shall be held and maintained at an office located in the State of New York. In addition, any Account may include any number of sub-accounts deemed necessary or appropriate by the Trustee for convenience in administering such account.

Section 10.2. Principal Collection Account; Interest Collection Account; Custodial Account.

(a) The Trustee shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause to be established a Securities Account that shall be designated as the “Interest Collection Account,” which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, into which the Trustee shall from time to time deposit, in addition to the deposits required pursuant to Section 10.7(d), (i) all proceeds received from the disposition of any Collateral to the extent such proceeds constitute Interest Proceeds (unless simultaneously reinvested pursuant to Section 10.2(f) in other Collateral Debt Securities, subject to the Collateral Debt Security Criteria and the Eligibility Criteria, or in Eligible Investments) and (ii) all other Interest Proceeds.

(b) The Trustee shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause to be established a Securities Account that shall be designated as the “Principal Collection Account,” which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, into which the Trustee shall from time to time deposit, in addition to the deposits required pursuant to Section 10.2(d), (i) all proceeds received from the disposition of any Collateral to the extent such proceeds constitute Principal Proceeds (unless simultaneously reinvested in Eligible Investments) and (ii) all other Principal Proceeds.

(c) The Issuer may, but under no circumstances shall be required to, deposit or cause to be deposited from time to time such Cash in a Collection Account as it deems, in its sole discretion, to be advisable and by notice to the Trustee may designate that such Cash is to be treated as Principal Proceeds or Interest Proceeds hereunder at its discretion. All Cash deposited from time to time in a Collection Account pursuant to this Indenture shall be held by the Trustee as part of the Collateral and shall be applied to the purposes herein provided. The Collection Accounts shall remain at all times with a financial institution having a long-term debt rating of at least “BBB+” by Standard & Poor’s, at least “Baa1” by Moody’s and at least “BBB+” by Fitch and capital and surplus of a least U.S.$200,000,000.

(d) All Distributions, any deposit required pursuant to Section 10.2(e) and any net proceeds from the sale or disposition of a Collateral Debt Security or Equity Security received by the Trustee shall be immediately deposited into the Interest Collection Account or the Principal

143

Collection Account, as the case may be (unless, in the case of proceeds received from the sale or disposition of any Collateral, such proceeds are simultaneously reinvested pursuant to Section 10.2(f) in Eligible Investments), other than 50% of any interest payments on a semi-annual interest paying security received in cash by the Issuer in any Due Period which will be deposited in the Semi-Annual Interest Reserve Account. Subject to Sections 10.2(f), 10.2(g) and 11.2, all amounts deposited in the Collection Accounts, together with any securities in which funds included in such property are or will be invested or reinvested during the term of this Indenture, and any income or other gain realized from such investments, shall be held by the Trustee in the Collection Accounts as part of the Collateral subject to disbursement and withdrawal as provided in this Section 10.2. By Issuer Order executed by an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager (which may be in the form of standing instructions), the Issuer shall at all times direct the Trustee to, and, upon receipt of such Issuer Order, the Trustee shall, invest all funds received into the Collection Accounts during a Due Period, and amounts received in prior Due Periods and retained in the Collection Accounts, as so directed in Eligible Investments. The Trustee, within one Business Day after receipt of any Distribution or other proceeds which are not Cash, shall so notify the Issuer and the Issuer shall, within five Business Days of receipt of such notice from the Trustee, sell such Distribution or other proceeds for Cash in an arm’s-length transaction to a Person which is not an Affiliate of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager and deposit the proceeds thereof in the Interest Collection Account or Principal Collection Account, as the case may be, for investment pursuant to this Section 10.2; provided, that the Issuer need not sell such Distributions or other proceeds if it delivers an Officer’s certificate to the Trustee certifying that such Distributions or other proceeds constitute Collateral Debt Securities or Eligible Investments.

(e) If, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Issuer shall not have given any investment directions pursuant to Section 10.2(d), the Trustee shall seek instructions from the Collateral Manager within three Business Days after transfer of such funds to a Collection Account. If the Trustee does not thereupon receive written instructions from the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) within five Business Days after transfer of such funds to a Collection Account, it shall invest and reinvest the funds held in such Collection Account, as fully as practicable, but only in one or more Eligible Investments of the type described in clause (d) of the definition thereof. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall invest and reinvest such Monies as fully as practicable in Eligible Investments of the type described in clause (d) of the definition thereof maturing not later than the earlier of (i) 30 days after the date of such investment or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the next Distribution Date. All interest and other income from such investments shall be deposited into the applicable Collection Account in accordance with Sections 10.2(a) and (b), any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the related Collection Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the related Collection Account. Any gain or loss with respect to an Eligible Investment shall be allocated in such a manner as to increase or decrease, respectively, Principal Proceeds and/or Interest Proceeds in the proportion which the amount of Principal Proceeds and/or Interest Proceeds used to acquire such Eligible Investment bears to the purchase price thereof. The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency of a Collection Account resulting from any loss relating to any such investment.

(f) The Trustee shall transfer to the Payment Account for application pursuant to Section 11.1(a) and in accordance with the calculations and the instructions contained in the

144

Note Valuation Report prepared by the Issuer pursuant to Section 10.8(c), on or prior to the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, any amounts then held in the Collection Accounts other than Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds received after the end of the Due Period with respect to such Distribution Date (except for certain amounts that are received by the Issuer in respect of the Hedge Agreements on the Distribution Date related to such Due Period and which constitute Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds); provided, that, to the extent that Principal Proceeds in the Principal Collection Account as of such date are in excess of the amounts required to be applied pursuant to the Priority of Payments up to and including the next Distribution Date as shown in the Note Valuation Report with respect to such Distribution Date, the Issuer may direct the Trustee to retain such excess amounts in the Principal Collection Account and not to transfer such excess amounts to the Payment Account.

(g) The Trustee shall apply amounts on deposit in the Collection Accounts in accordance with any Redemption Date Statement delivered to the Trustee in connection with the redemption of Notes pursuant to Section 9.1.

(h) The Trustee shall, upon Issuer Order, apply amounts on deposit in the Interest Collection Account and Principal Collection Account in accordance with Section 11.2.

(i) The Trustee shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause the Custodian to establish a Securities Account that shall be designated as the “Custodial Account,” which shall be in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and into which the Trustee shall from time to time deposit Collateral. All Collateral from time to time deposited in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the Custodial Account pursuant to this Indenture shall be held by the Trustee as part of the Collateral and shall be applied to the purposes herein provided. The Trustee agrees to give the Issuer immediate notice if the Custodial Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise standing to the credit of the Custodial Account, shall become subject to any writ, order judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. Neither Co-Issuer shall have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Custodial Account other than in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 10.3. Payment Account.

The Trustee shall, prior to the Closing Date, establish a Securities Account that shall be designated as the “Payment Account,” which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties. 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 Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Except as provided in Sections 11.1 and 11.2, the only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the Payment Account shall be to pay the interest and the Commitment Fee on and the principal of the Notes in accordance with their terms and the provisions of this Indenture and, upon Issuer Order, to pay administrative expenses and other amounts specified therein, each in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Trustee agrees to give the Co-Issuers and the Hedge Counterparty immediate notice if the Payment Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise standing to the credit of the Payment Account, shall become subject to, any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. Neither Co-Issuer shall have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Payment Account other than in accordance

145

with the Priority of Payments. The Payment Account shall remain at all times with a financial institution having a long-term debt rating of at least “BBB+” by Standard & Poor’s, at least “Baa1” by Xxxxx’x and at least “BBB+” by Fitch and capital and surplus of a least U.S.$200,000,000.

Section 10.4. Expense Account, Semi-Annual Interest Reserve Account, Interest Reserve Account and First Distribution Date Reserve Account.

(a) The Trustee shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause to be established a Securities Account that shall be designated as the “Expense Account” and a Securities Account which shall be designated as the “Interest Reserve Account,” both of which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Any and all funds at any time on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Expense Account or the Interest Reserve Account shall be held in trust by the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Except as provided in Sections 11.1 and 11.2, the only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the Expense Account shall be to pay (on any day other than a Distribution Date) accrued and unpaid administrative expenses of the Co-Issuers (other than fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Collateral Management Fee, but including other amounts payable by the Issuer to the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement or this Indenture). The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the Interest Reserve Account shall be in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.4(a). On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deposit into the Expense Account an amount equal to U.S.$100,000 from the net proceeds received by the Issuer on such date from the initial issuance of the Notes and the Preferred Shares. Thereafter, (i) the Trustee shall transfer to the Expense Account and the Interest Reserve Account from the Payment Account amounts required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 11.1(a) and, in accordance with the calculations and the instruction contained in the Note Valuation Report prepared by the Issuer pursuant to Section 10.8(c) and (ii) on each Distribution Date on and prior to the Distribution Date in November 2008, U.S.$83,333.33, shall be deposited into the Interest Reserve Account, and on each Distribution Date thereafter on which any Notes remain Outstanding and the amount on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account is not at least U.S.$1,000,000, 15% of the Interest Proceeds remaining following payment of interest on the Notes will be deposited into the Interest Reserve Account until the amount on deposit therein equals U.S.$1,000,000 (after giving effect to such deposit). The Issuer shall, by Issuer Order executed by an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager, direct the Trustee to, and, upon receipt of such Issuer Order, the Trustee shall, (i) transfer from the Interest Reserve Account to the Payment Account for application pursuant to Section 11.1(a) as Interest Proceeds (x) on each Distribution Date an amount equal to the Shortfall Amount, if any, and (y) on the first Distribution Date on which there are no Notes Outstanding, all remaining amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account and (ii) transfer all funds on deposit in the Expense Account, at the time when substantially all of the Issuer’s assets have been sold or otherwise disposed of (as determined by the Collateral Manager), and deposit such funds into the Payment Account for application pursuant to Section 11.1(a) as Interest Proceeds on the immediately succeeding Distribution Date.

(b) The Trustee agrees to give the Co-Issuers and Hedge Counterparty immediate notice if the Expense Account or the Interest Reserve Account or any funds on deposit in either,

All interest and other income from such investments shall be deposited in the Expense Account or the Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the Expense Account or the Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Expense Account or the Interest Reserve Account, as applicable. The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency of such Expense Account or Interest Reserve Account resulting from any loss relating to any such investment.

(d) On the Closing Date, after payment of the organizational and structuring fees and expenses of the Issuer (including, without limitation, the legal fees and expenses of counsel to the Issuer, the Placement Agent and the Collateral Manager) and the expenses of offering the Offered Securities, U.S.$500,000 from the proceeds of the offering of the Offered Securities will be deposited by the Trustee into a single, segregated account established hereunder on the Closing Date by the Trustee and designated as the “First Distribution Date Reserve Account.” The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the First Distribution Date Reserve Account shall be as follows: at least one Business Day prior to the first Distribution Date, the Trustee will transfer all amounts from the First Distribution Date Reserve Account to the Payment Account for application (x) as Interest Proceeds on the first Distribution Date for distribution to the Holders of the Notes if, and only to the extent, necessary for such Noteholders to receive the accrued and unpaid interest due and payable in respect of such Notes on such first Distribution Date pursuant to clauses (5) and (6) of Section 11.1(a)(i) and (y) to the extent that there are any amounts remaining after application as provided in the preceding clause (x), for application as Interest Proceeds in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(e) On the Closing Date, the Trustee will establish and maintain a single, segregated account designated as the “Semi-Annual Interest Reserve Account.” On any date upon which the Issuer receives interest payments in cash in respect of semiannual interest paying securities, the Trustee will deposit 50% of such interest payments on semi-annual interest paying securities. At least one Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall transfer all amounts deposited in the Semi-Annual Interest Reserve Account on or prior to the Determination Date preceding the last Distribution Date preceding the last Distribution Date (including any interest accrued on any such amount) to the Payment Account for application as Interest Proceeds in accordance with the Priority of Payments and such transfer shall be the only permitted

147

withdrawal from, or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the Semi-Annual Interest Reserve Account.

Section 10.5. Uninvested Proceeds Account.

The Trustee shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause to be established a Securities Account which shall be designated as the “Uninvested Proceeds Account,” which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deposit therein all Uninvested Proceeds (other than the portion thereof that is (i) used by the Issuer to pay the organizational fees and other expenses of the Issuer incurred in connection with the effectuation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents on the Closing Date (including, without limitation, the legal fees and expenses of counsel to the Issuer, the Placement Agent and the Collateral Manager), the expenses of offering the Securities and (ii) deposited in the Expense Account on such date). The Issuer may, prior to the Ramp-Up Completion Date, use funds on deposit in the Uninvested Proceeds account to acquire Collateral Debt Securities in accordance with the terms of Section 7.18. Prior to such use of such funds by the Issuer, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may direct the Trustee to, and upon such direction the Trustee shall, invest funds in the Uninvested Proceeds Account in Eligible Investments. All interest and other income from such investments shall be deposited in the Uninvested Proceeds Account, any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the Uninvested Proceeds Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Uninvested Proceeds Account. The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency of such Uninvested Proceeds Account resulting from any loss relating to any such investment. Investment earnings on Eligible Investments in the Uninvested Proceeds Account will be transferred to the Interest Collection Account, to be treated as Interest Proceeds, on or prior to the Ramp-Up Completion Date. Other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, on or prior to the Ramp-Up Completion Date, the Trustee will transfer any Uninvested Proceeds remaining on deposit in the Uninvested Proceeds Account to the Interest Collection Account or the Payment Account at the Collateral Manager’s discretion (i) if a Ratings Confirmation has occurred, to the extent of Interest Excess to be treated as Interest Proceeds and the remainder to be treated as Principal Proceeds, respectively, to be distributed in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and (ii) in the event of a Ramp-Up Ratings Confirmation Failure, to be treated as Uninvested Proceeds to the extent the Rating Agencies require that Uninvested Proceeds be used to make payments in respect of principal on Notes and to be treated as Principal Proceeds, to be distributed in accordance with the Priority of Payments, to the extent such funds are in excess of the amount of funds necessary to meet the requirements of the Rating Agencies. Promptly following the Ramp-Up Completion Date the Trustee shall cause the Uninvested Proceeds Account to be closed.

Section 10.6. Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account.

The Trustee shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause to be established one or more securities accounts, each of which shall be designated a “Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account,” which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Trustee shall deposit all collateral received from any Hedge Counterparty under any Hedge Agreement in the related Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account. Any and all funds at any time on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, a Hedge

148

Counterparty Collateral Account shall be held in trust by the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, a Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account shall be (i) for application to obligations of the relevant Hedge Counterparty to the Issuer under the relevant Hedge Agreement that are not paid when due (whether when scheduled or upon early termination) or (ii) to return collateral to such Hedge Counterparty when and as required by the relevant Hedge Agreement (in each case as directed in writing by the Collateral Manager). The Trustee shall reinvest amounts in the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account in Eligible Investments in accordance with the terms of the related Hedge Agreement, upon and as set forth in written direction from the Collateral Manager, and shall have no liability for any such investments. The Trustee shall not be obligated to make any such investment in the absence of such written instruction.

The Trustee shall supply in a timely fashion to each Rating Agency, the Hedge Counterparty, the Issuer and the Collateral Manager any information regularly maintained by the Trustee that any Rating Agency, the Issuer, the Hedge Counterparty or the Collateral Manager may from time to time request with respect to the Pledged Securities, the Interest Collection Account, the Principal Collection Account, the Payment Account, the Expense Account, the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account or the Interest Reserve Account reasonably needed to complete the Note Valuation Report or to provide any other information reasonably available to the Trustee by reason of its acting as Trustee hereunder and required to be provided by Section 10.9 or to permit the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations under the Collateral Management Agreement.

In addition to the foregoing information, each Note Valuation Report shall include a statement to the following effect:

In order to comply with certain exemptions from registration requirements under the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), the Indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued requires that each Holder of a Note issued by the Co-Issuers (or any beneficial interest therein) be both a “Qualified Purchaser,” as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act, and a Qualified Institutional Buyer, as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Under the Investment Company Act, each of the Co-Issuers or an agent acting on their behalf must have a “reasonable belief” that each holder of its outstanding securities that is a U.S. Person, including transferees, is a Qualified Purchaser, and the Co-Issuers must exercise reasonable care to ensure that each holder of its outstanding securities, including transferees, that is a U.S. Person is a Qualified Institutional Buyer. Consequently, and as a result of the restrictions contained in the Indenture, each resale of a Note in the United States or to a U.S. Person must be made pursuant to Rule 144A or another exemption from the registration requirements under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, solely to a purchaser that is both a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser. Each transferee of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note will be deemed to represent at the

154

time of purchase that: (a) the purchaser is both a Qualified Purchaser and a Qualified Institutional Buyer; (b) the transferee and each account for which it is purchasing is required to hold and transfer at least the minimum denominations of the Notes, specified in the Indenture and (c) the purchaser will provide written notice of the foregoing, and of any applicable restrictions on transfer, to any transferee.

The Co-Issuers direct that the recipient of this notice, and any recipient of a copy of this notice, provide a copy to any person having an interest in the Note, with respect to which this Note Valuation Report is delivered, as indicated on the books of The Depository Trust Company or on the books of a participant in The Depository Trust Company or on the books of an indirect participant for which such participant in The Depository Trust Company acts as agent.

If, notwithstanding the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Indenture, either of the Co-Issuers determines that any beneficial owner of a Class A Note, Class B Note, Class C Note, Class D Note or Class E Note (or any interest therein) (A) is a U.S. Person and (B) was not both a Qualified Purchaser and a Qualified Institutional Buyer at the time of its acquisition thereof, then either of the Co-Issuers may require, by notice to such holder, that such holder sell all of its right, title and interest in such Note (or interest therein) to a Person that is both a Qualified Purchaser and a Qualified Institutional Buyer with such sale to be effected within 30 days after notice of such sale requirement is given. If such beneficial owner fails to effect the transfer required within such 30-day period, (i) upon direction from the Issuer, the Trustee (on behalf of and at the expense of the Issuer) shall cause such beneficial owner’s interest in such Note to be transferred in a commercially reasonable sale (conducted by the Trustee in accordance with Section 9-610(b) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York) to a person that certifies to the Trustee, the Co-Issuers and the Collateral Manager, in connection with such transfer, that such person is both a Qualified Purchaser and a Qualified Institutional Buyer and (ii) pending such transfer, no further payments will be made in respect of such Note held by such beneficial owner.

(d) Section 3(c)(7) Reminder Notice. Pursuant to Section 7.20, the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall provide to each Holder, in conjunction with the Note Valuation Report delivered pursuant to Section 10.8(c), a Section 3(c)(7) Reminder Notice.

155

(e) Redemption Date Instructions. Not less than five Business Days after receiving an Issuer Request requesting information regarding a redemption pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Notes of a Class as of a proposed Redemption Date set forth in such Issuer Request, the Trustee shall provide the necessary information (to the extent it is available to the Trustee) to the Co-Issuers and the Hedge Counterparty, and the Issuer shall compute the following information and provide such information in a statement (the “Redemption Date Statement”) delivered to the Trustee:

(i) the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes of the Class or Classes to be redeemed as of such Redemption Date;

(ii) the amount of accrued interest and the Commitment Fee due on such Notes as of the last day of the Interest Period immediately preceding such Redemption Date; and

(iii) the amount in the Interest Collection Account, the Principal Collection Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Expense Account and the Payment Account available for application to the redemption of such Notes.

(f) If the Trustee shall not have received any accounting provided for in this Section on the first Business Day after the date on which such accounting is due to the Trustee, the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to cause such accounting to be made by the applicable Distribution Date or Redemption Date. To the extent the Trustee is required to provide any information or reports pursuant to this Section 10.6 as a result of the failure of the Issuer to provide such information or reports, the Trustee shall be entitled to retain an Independent certified public accountant in connection therewith and the reasonable costs incurred by the Trustee for such Independent certified public accountant shall be reimbursed pursuant to Section 6.7.

(g) Appointment of Agent. The Issuer may appoint an administrator or other agent to prepare reports pursuant to this Section 10.6 and certain calculations related thereto.

(h) Annual Reports to Fitch and Moody’s. Not later than the fifth Business Day preceding each Distribution Date occurring in August of each year, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Fitch and Moody’s (i) a list containing the name and regulatory identification number of each Collateral Debt Securities Issuer and (ii) in the case of each Collateral Debt Securities Issuer that does not file public financial reports, such financial information regarding such Collateral Debt Securities Issuer as Fitch or Moody’s may reasonably request (including but not limited to, the identity of each Collateral Debt Security, the related Real Estate Entity of which does not include an unqualified accountant’s letter in its audited financial statements).

(i) Posting of Reports on Repository. Each of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager acknowledges and agrees that each Monthly Report and Note Valuation Report shall be posted to the Repository for use in the manner provided in the Repository. In connection therewith, the Issuer agrees to deliver or otherwise make available each Monthly Report and Note Valuation Report to the operator of the Repository for posting on the Repository.

Section 10.9. Release of Securities.

(a) If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to Section 12, the Issuer may, by Issuer Order executed by an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager and delivered to the Trustee at least two Business Days prior to the settlement date for any sale of a security certifying that the conditions set forth in Section 12.1 are satisfied, direct the Trustee to release such security from the lien of this Indenture against receipt of payment therefor.

156

(b) The Issuer may, by Issuer Order executed by an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager and delivered to the Trustee at least two Business Days prior to the date set for redemption or payment in full of a Pledged Security, certifying that such security is being redeemed or paid in full, direct the Trustee or, at the Trustee’s instructions, the Custodian to deliver such security, if in physical form, duly endorsed, or, if such security is a Clearing Corporation Security, to cause it to be presented, to the appropriate paying agent therefor on or before the date set for redemption or payment, in each case against receipt of the redemption price or payment in full thereof.

(c) If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to Section 12, the Issuer may, by Issuer Order executed by an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager and delivered to the Trustee or, at the Trustee’s instructions, the Custodian, at least two Business Days prior to the date set for an exchange, tender or sale, certifying that a Collateral Debt Security is subject to an Offer and setting forth in reasonable detail the procedure for response to such Offer, direct the Trustee to deliver such security, if in physical form, duly endorsed, or, if such security is a Clearing Corporation Security, to cause it to be delivered, in accordance with such Issuer Order, in each case against receipt of payment therefor.

(d) The Trustee shall deposit any proceeds received by it from the disposition of a Pledged Security in the Interest Collection Account or the Principal Collection Account, as the case may be, unless simultaneously applied to the purchase of other Collateral Debt Securities or Eligible Investments as permitted under and in accordance with requirements of Section 12 and this Section 10.10.

(e) The Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order at such time as there are no Notes Outstanding (and the Commitment Period Termination Date has occurred) and all obligations of the Co-Issuers hereunder have been satisfied, release the Collateral from the lien of this Indenture.

(f) The Issuer may retain agents (including the Collateral Manager) to assist the Issuer in preparing any notice or other report required under this Section 10.10.

Section 10.10. Reports by Independent Accountants.

(a) At the Closing Date the Issuer shall appoint a firm of Independent certified public accountants of recognized international reputation for purposes of preparing and delivering the reports or certificates of such accountants required by this Indenture. Upon any resignation by such firm, the Issuer shall promptly appoint by Issuer Order delivered to the Trustee, the Hedge Counterparty and each Rating Agency a successor thereto that shall also be a firm of Independent certified public accountants of recognized international reputation. If the Issuer shall fail to appoint a successor to a firm of Independent certified public accountants which has resigned within 30 days after such resignation, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of such failure in writing. If the Issuer shall not have appointed a successor within ten days thereafter, the Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor firm of Independent certified public accountants of recognized national reputation. The fees of such Independent certified public accountants and its successor shall be payable by the Issuer or by the Trustee as provided in Section 11.1.

At least 90 days prior to the Distribution Date in November, 2006 (and, if at any time a successor firm of Independent certified public accountants is appointed, to the Distribution Date following the date of such appointment), the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Accountants’ Report specifying in advance the procedures that such firm will apply in making the aforementioned findings throughout the term of its service as accountants to the Issuer. The Trustee shall promptly forward a copy of such Accountants’ Report to the Hedge Counterparty and each Holder of Notes of the Controlling Class, at the address shown on the Note Register.

(d) In the event that notwithstanding the provisions of this Indenture, any holder of any Subordinate Interests shall have received any payment or distribution in respect of such Subordinate Interests contrary to the provisions of this Indenture, then, unless and until all amounts payable to the Hedge Counterparty pursuant to Sections 11.1(a)(i)(4) and 11.1(a)(ii)(1), and to the Holders of the Class A Notes, to the Holders of the Class B Notes, to the Holders of the Class C Notes, to the Holders of the Class D Notes or to the Holders of the Class E Notes as the case may be, shall have been paid in full in Cash or, to the extent the Hedge Counterparty or a Majority of the Class A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes, Class D Notes or Class E Notes, as applicable, consent, other than in Cash in accordance with this Indenture, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of, and shall forthwith be paid over and delivered to, the Trustee, which shall pay and deliver the same to the Hedge Counterparty or the Holders of Class A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes, Class D Notes or Class E Notes, in accordance with this Indenture; provided, that, if any such payment or distribution is made other than in Cash, it shall be held by the Trustee as part of the Collateral and subject in all respects to the provisions of this Indenture, including this Section 13.1.

(e) Each Holder of Subordinate Interests agrees with the Hedge Counterparty and all Holders of Class A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes, Class D Notes or Class E Notes, as the case may be, that such Holder of Subordinate Interests shall not demand, accept, or receive any payment or distribution in respect of such Subordinate Interests in violation of the provisions of this Indenture including this Section 13.1; provided, that after all amounts payable pursuant to Sections 11.1(a)(i)(4) and 11.1(a)(ii)(1), the Class A Notes or the Class B Notes, as the case may be, have been paid in full, the Holders of Subordinate Interests shall be fully subrogated to the rights of the Hedge Counterparty and the Holders of the Class A Notes, the Holders of the Class B Notes, the Holders of the Class C Notes, the Holders of the Class D Notes or the Holders of the Class E Notes, as the case may be. Nothing in this Section 13.1 shall affect the obligation of the Co-Issuers to pay Holders of Subordinate Interests.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 14.1. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or

171

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, the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such 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, the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Authorized Officer of 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, the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager or such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may also be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such matters is in the possession of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, 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 is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Trustee 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 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 as provided in Section 6.1(d).

Section 14.2. Acts of Noteholders and Hedge Counterparty.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders or Hedge Counterparty may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders or Hedge Counterparty in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer 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 Noteholders or Hedge Counterparty signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be

172

sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, 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 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 Note Register.

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

Delivery of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents made as provided above will be deemed effective: (i) if in writing and delivered in person or by overnight courier service, on the date it is delivered; (ii) if sent by facsimile transmission, on the date that transmission is received by the recipient in legible form (as evidenced by the sender’s written record of a telephone call to the recipient in which the recipient acknowledged receipt of such facsimile transmission); and (iii) if sent by mail, on the date that mail is delivered or its delivery is attempted; in each case, unless the date of that delivery (or attempted delivery) or that receipt, as applicable, is not a Business Day or that communication is delivered (or attempted) or received, as applicable, after the close of business on a Business Day, in which case that communication shall be deemed given and effective on the first following day that is a Business Day.

Section 14.4. Notices and Reports to Noteholders; Waiver.

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

(a) such report or notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Notes if 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 Note Register, not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date, prescribed for the giving of such report or notice; and

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

Such reports and notices will be deemed to have been given on the date of such mailing.

The Trustee will deliver to the Holder of any Note shown on the Note Register any readily available information or notice requested to be so delivered, at the expense of the Co-Issuers. In addition, for so long as any Class of Notes is listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and so long as the rules of such exchange so require, notices to the Holders of such Notes shall also be given by delivery to the Company Announcements Office of the Irish Stock Exchange.

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.

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,

175

and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

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 shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Section 14.5. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

The 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 Co-Issuers 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.

The Hedge Counterparty shall be a third party beneficiary of each agreement or obligation in this Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes or Hedge Agreements, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Collateral Manager, the Hedge Counterparty, the Noteholders or the Preferred Shareholders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 14.9. Governing Law.

THIS INDENTURE AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THIS INDENTURE AND EACH NOTE AND ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) TO THIS INDENTURE OR ANY NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 14.10. Submission to Jurisdiction.

Each of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notes or this Indenture, and the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and Trustee each hereby irrevocably agree

176

that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or federal court. Each of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent that they may legally do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any action or proceeding by the mailing or delivery of copies of such process to it at the office of the Co-Issuers’ agent in New York set forth in Section 7.2. Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Section 14.11. Counterparts.

This instrument 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. Judgment Currency.

This is an international financing transaction in which the specification of Dollars (the “Specified Currency”), and the specification of the place of payment, as the case may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to payments of or on the Notes. The payment obligations of the Co-Issuers under this Indenture and the Notes shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the Specified Place. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or the Notes in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding that on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of the Co-Issuers in respect of any such sum due from the Co-Issuers hereunder shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Trustee of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder or under the Notes in the Second Currency the Trustee may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and the Co-Issuers hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment (but subject to the Priority of Payments as if such separate obligation in respect of each Class of Notes constituted additional principal owing in respect of such Class of Notes), agree to indemnify the Trustee and each Noteholder against, and to pay the Trustee or such Noteholder, as the case may be, on demand in the Specified Currency, any difference between the sum originally due to the Trustee or such Noteholder, as the case may be, in the Specified Currency and the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.

177

Section 14.13. Confidentiality; Confidential Treatment of Documents.

(a) The parties hereto hereby agree that each such party (and each of their respective, and their respective affiliates’, employees, officers, directors, agents and advisors) is, and has been from the commencement of discussions with respect to this transaction, permitted to disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment, tax structure and tax aspects (as such terms are used in Internal Revenue Code Sections 6011, 6111 and 6112 and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of this transaction, and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions or other tax analyses) that are or have been provided to such parties related to such tax structure and tax aspects. Each party hereto further acknowledges and agrees that its disclosure of the tax structure or tax aspects of this transaction is not limited in any way by any express or implied understanding or agreement, oral or written (whether or not such understanding or agreement is legally binding). Furthermore, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that it does not know or have reason to know that its use or disclosure of information relating to the tax structure or tax aspects of this transaction is limited in any other manner (such as where this Indenture is claimed to be proprietary or exclusive with respect to the tax structure or tax aspects of this transaction) for the benefit of any other Person. To the extent that disclosure of the tax structure or tax aspects of this transaction by any party hereto is limited by any existing agreement between such parties, such limitation is agreed to be void ab initio and such agreement is hereby amended to permit disclosure of the tax structure and tax aspects of this transaction as provided in this paragraph (a).

(b) Subject to paragraph (a) above and except as otherwise provided in this Indenture or as required by law or as required to maintain the listing of the Notes and Preferred Shares on the Irish Stock Exchange, this Indenture and the Hedge Agreements shall be treated by the parties hereto as confidential. The Trustee shall provide a copy of this Indenture to any Holder of a beneficial interest in any Note upon written request therefor certifying that it is such a Holder.

(e) except as otherwise set forth herein and therein, the Collateral Manager shall continue to serve as Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement notwithstanding that the Collateral Manager shall not have received amounts due it under the Collateral Management Agreement because sufficient funds were not then available hereunder to pay such amounts. The Collateral Manager agrees not to institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws until at least one year and one day, or if longer the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this Indenture; provided, that nothing in this clause shall preclude, or be deemed to estop, the Collateral Manager (A) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year and one day period, or if longer the applicable preference period then in effect, in (x) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or (y) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer by a Person other than the Collateral Manager or (B) from commencing against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or any properties of the Issuer any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceeding;

181

(ii) if its Hedge Rating Determining Party fails to satisfy the Ratings Threshold, then the Hedge Counterparty shall within ten Business Days of the occurrence of a Ratings Event (as defined in the related Hedge Agreement) either (x) assign its rights and obligations in and under the related Hedge Agreement (at its own expense) to another Hedge Counterparty that has ratings at least equal to the Hedge Counterparty Ratings Requirement or (y) enter into any other agreement with or arrangement for the benefit of the Issuer and the Trustee that is reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and that satisfies the Rating Condition.

(d) The Hedge Agreements will provide that upon the default by the relevant Hedge Counterparty in the payment when due of its obligations to the Issuer under such Hedge Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Trustee and, if applicable, any guarantor of such Hedge Counterparty’s obligations under such Hedge Agreement. Upon its receipt of such notice (or, if earlier, when the Trustee becomes aware of such default) the Trustee shall make a demand on such Hedge Counterparty, or any guarantor, if applicable, demanding payment forthwith. The Trustee shall give notice to the Noteholders and each Rating Agency upon the continuance of the failure by such Hedge Counterparty to perform its obligations for two Business Days following a demand made by the Trustee on such Hedge Counterparty.

(e) If at any time any Hedge Agreement becomes subject to early termination due to the occurrence of an “Event of Default” or a “Termination Event” (each as defined in the relevant Hedge Agreement) where the Hedge Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party (each as defined in the relevant Hedge Agreement), the Issuer shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Trustee, and the Issuer and the Trustee shall take such actions (following the expiration of any applicable grace period) to enforce the rights of the Issuer and the Trustee thereunder, as instructed in writing by the Collateral Manager and as may be permitted by the terms of such Hedge Agreement and consistent with the terms hereof, and shall apply the proceeds of any such actions (including the proceeds of the liquidation of any collateral pledged by such Hedge Counterparty) to the costs of such actions and to the cost of entering into a replacement Hedge Agreement to be arranged and entered into by the Issuer on substantially identical terms or on such other terms with respect to which the Issuer has satisfied the Rating Condition. Any costs attributable to entering into a replacement Hedge Agreement which exceed the sum of the proceeds of the liquidation of the terminated Hedge Agreement shall be borne by the “Defaulting Party” or sole “Affected Party” (each as defined in the relevant Hedge Agreement) with respect to the applicable “Event of Default” or “Termination Event” (each as defined in the relevant Hedge Agreement). In determining the amount payable under the terminated Hedge Agreement, the Issuer will seek quotations from “Reference Market-makers” (as defined in the relevant Hedge Agreement) that satisfy the Hedge Counterparty Ratings Requirement. In addition, the Issuer will use its best efforts to cause the termination of a Hedge Agreement to become effective simultaneously with the entry into a replacement Hedge Agreement described as aforesaid.

(f) Each Hedge Agreement shall provide that (i) any amount payable to the Hedge Counterparty thereunder shall be subject to the Priority of Payments and (ii) such Hedge Agreement is subject to termination on the occurrence of an Event of Default and liquidation of the Collateral.

182

(g) Amendment and Reduction in Notional Amount

(i) The Issuer shall notify the Trustee, the Collateral Manager and each Rating Agency in writing of all amendments and modifications to the Hedge Agreements.

(ii) The Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, may reduce the notional amount of any Hedge Agreement (and, in connection therewith, cause the Issuer to pay a termination payment in accordance with the Priority of Payments to the Hedge Counterparty) if the Rating Condition is satisfied.

(h) In the event that amounts are applied to the redemption of Notes on any Distribution Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments by reason of a failure to satisfy any of the Coverage Tests, then, subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Condition, the floating-fixed rate interest swaps under the Hedge Agreements will be subject to partial termination on such Distribution Date with respect to a portion of the notional amount thereof equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Notes so redeemed on such Distribution Date. In addition, subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Condition with respect to such reduction, the Collateral Manager and a Majority-in-Interest of Preferred Shareholders (acting together) may on any Distribution Date direct the Issuer to reduce the notional amount of any interest rate swap or cap outstanding under any Hedge Agreement. Upon any such termination or reduction of a notional amount, a termination payment with respect to the notional amount terminated or reduced may become payable by the Hedge Counterparty or the Issuer to the other party under the Hedge Agreements. Amounts payable upon any such termination or reduction will based upon standard replacement transaction valuation methodology set forth in the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. If any amount is payable by the Issuer to the Hedge Counterparty in connection with the occurrence of any such partial termination or notional amount reduction, such amount, together with interest on such amount for the period from and including the date of termination to but excluding the date of payment at a rate per annum (calculated using a 30/360 Day Count Fraction) equal to the cost of funds therefor, as determined in accordance with each Hedge Agreement, shall be payable on such Distribution Date to the extent funds are available for such purpose in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and any amount not so paid on such Distribution Date shall be payable on the first Distribution Date on which such amount may be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(i) In the event the Issuer, at any time after the Closing Date and on or prior to the Ramp-Up Completion Date, purchases secondary market Collateral Debt Securities from the Initial Purchaser, the Issuer will be permitted, in accordance with the terms hereof, to enter into one or more Hedge Agreements at prevailing market rates with respect to such Collateral Debt Securities so acquired; provided, that (i) such additional Hedge Agreements are entered into with Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Capital Services, Inc. as the Hedge Counterparty, (ii) such additional Hedge Agreements are executed on documentation substantially similar to, and contain material terms similar to, the Hedge Agreements entered into by the Issuer on the Closing Date, (iii) all documentation relating to each such Hedge Agreement is executed by the Issuer (or an attorney-in-fact of the Issuer) acting from its offices in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere outside the United States and (iv) the entry into such Hedge Agreements shall be subject to the Rating Condition. In no event shall any Hedge Agreement be entered into after the Ramp-Up Completion Date unless such Hedge Agreement is otherwise permitted by the Indenture; provided, that, Deemed Fixed Rate Hedge Agreements and Deemed Floating Rate Hedge Agreements may be entered into at any time so long as such Hedge Agreements satisfy clause (ii) of the definition of “Hedge Agreement” and clauses (iii) and (iv) of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence and otherwise satisfy the provisions of this Section 16 and the Rating Condition is satisfied as to Standard Poor’s in connection with initially entering into any such Hedge Agreement (and to the extent provided in clause (ii) of the definition of “Hedge Agreement,” any replacement Hedge Agreement).

LIBOR FORMULA

With respect to each Interest Period, “LIBOR” for purposes of calculating the Note Interest Rate for the Notes for such Interest Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) On the second LIBOR Business Day (provided, that, on such day commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in foreign currency deposits) in London (a “LIBOR Banking Day”), and otherwise the next preceding LIBOR Business Day that is also a LIBOR Banking Day), prior to each February 5, May 5, August 5 and November 5 and, with respect to the Class A-1B Notes only, Borrowing Date (each such day, a “LIBOR Determination Date”), LIBOR shall equal the rate, as obtained by the Calculation Agent, for U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe of the Designated Maturity which appears on Telerate (as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 2000 Interest Rate and Currency Exchange Definitions) Page 3750 or such other page as may replace such Page 3750, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date, as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News or any successor service (“Telerate Page 3750”). “LIBOR Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banking institutions in New York, New York, or Wilmington, Delaware are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed. If such rate is superseded on Telerate Page 3750 by a corrected rate before 12:00 noon (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date, the corrected rate as so substituted will be LIBOR for such LIBOR Determination Date.

(ii) If, on such LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the Calculation Agent shall determine the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations of the Reference Banks (as defined below) to leading banks in the London interbank market for U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe of the Designated Maturity in an amount determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to requests for quotations as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date made by the Calculation Agent to the Reference Banks. If, on such LIBOR Determination Date, at least two of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall equal the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If, on such LIBOR Determination Date, only one or none of the Reference Banks provides such a quotation, LIBOR shall be deemed to be the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that at least two leading banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting on such LIBOR Determination Date for U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe of the Designated Maturity at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) in an amount determined by the Calculation Agent; provided, that if the Calculation Agent is required but is unable to determine LIBOR in accordance with at least one of the procedures provided above, LIBOR shall be LIBOR in effect for the immediately preceding Interest Period. As used herein, “Reference Banks” means four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent.

(iii) In respect of any Interest Period having a Designated Maturity other than one, two, three or six months, LIBOR shall be determined through the use of straight line interpolation by reference to two rates calculated in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) above, one of which shall be determined as if the maturity of the Dollar deposits referred

B-1

to therein were the period of time for which rates are available next shorter than the Interest Period and the other of which shall be determined as if the such maturity were the period of time for which rates are available next longer than the Interest Period; provided, that, if an Interest Period is less than or equal to seven days, then LIBOR shall be determined by reference to a rate calculated in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) above as if the maturity of the Dollar deposits referred to therein were a period of time equal to seven days.

For so long as any floating rate Note remains outstanding, the Issuer will at all times maintain an agent appointed to calculate LIBOR in respect of each Interest Period. As soon as possible after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately following each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will calculate the interest rate for the Notes (or, with respect to any LIBOR Determination Date relating to a Borrowing Date, the interest rate for the portion of the Class A-1B Notes being drawn on such Borrowing Date) for the related Interest Period and the amount of interest for such Interest Period payable in respect of each U.S.$1,000 in principal amount of each Class of Notes (other than the Class A-1C Notes, the Class B-2 Notes and the Class C-2 Notes at all times that such Notes bear interest at a fixed rate) (in each case rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upward) on the related Distribution Date and will communicate such rates and amounts and the related Distribution Date to the Issuer, the Trustee, each Paying Agent (other than the Preferred Share Paying Agent), Euroclear Bank, Clearstream, Luxembourg, DTC and (for so long as any Class of Notes is listed on the Irish Stock Exchange) the Irish Stock Exchange.

As used herein, “Designated Maturity” means (a) with respect to Class A-1B Notes (i) for the initial Interest Period for a Borrowing made under the Class A-1B Notes, the number of calendar days from and including the relevant Borrowing Date to but excluding the Distribution Date immediately following the Interest Period in which such Borrowing is made, (ii) for each Interest Period after the initial Interest Period for a Borrowing made under the Class A-1B Notes (other than the Interest Period ending on the Stated Maturity), three months and (iii) for the Interest Period ending on the Stated Maturity, the number of calendar days from and including the first day of such Interest Period to but excluding the final Distribution Date and (b) with respect to the Class A-1A Notes, the Class A-1C Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C-1 Notes, the Class C-2 Notes, the Class D Notes and the Class E Notes (i) for the initial Interest Period, the number of calendar days from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the first Distribution Date, (ii) for each Interest Period after the initial Interest Period (other than the Interest Period ending on the Stated Maturity), three months and (iii) for the Interest Period ending on the Stated Maturity, the number of calendar days from and including the first day of such Interest Period to but excluding the final Distribution Date.

No later than 10 Business Days before the Auction Date, Qualified Bidders may submit written due diligence questions relating to the legal documentation and other information contained in the general solicitation package (including comments on the draft purchase agreement to be used in connection with the Auction (the “Auction Purchase Agreement”)) to the Collateral Manager; provided, that the Collateral Manager shall only be obligated to answer questions relating to the Collateral to the extent that it is able to do so by reference to information which it is required to provide under the Collateral Management Agreement. The Collateral Manager shall be solely responsible for (i) responding to all relevant questions and/or comments submitted to it in accordance with the foregoing and (ii) distributing the questions, answers and revised final Auction Purchase Agreement to all Qualified Bidders at least five Business Days prior to the Auction Date.

(d) To the extent that the information contained in the list of Collateral Debt Securities or general solicitation package and delivered to the Qualified Bidders pursuant to clauses (a), (b) and (c) above is provided to the Trustee by the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager shall indemnify the Trustee and its Officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the provision of such information by the Collateral Manager to the Trustee, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder.

II.

Auction Process

(a) Subject to Section 9.5(ii), the Collateral Manager will be allowed to bid in the Auction if it deems appropriate, but will not be required to do so.

(b) On the Auction Date, all bids will be due by facsimile to the offices of the Trustee by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, with the winning bidder to be notified by 2:00 p.m. New York City time. All bids from Qualified Bidders will be due on the bid sheet contained in the solicitation package. Each bid shall be for the purchase and delivery to one purchaser of (i) all (but not less than all) of the Collateral Debt Securities or (ii) all (but not less than all) of the Collateral Debt Securities that constitute the components of one or more Subpools.

(c) If the Trustee receives fewer than two bids from Qualified Bidders to purchase all of the Collateral Debt Securities or to purchase each Subpool, the Trustee may, if a Majority-in-Interest of the Preferred Shareholders consents thereto in writing, and in accordance with all other provisions of this Indenture, accept such bid as the winning bid.

(d) The Trustee shall identify as the winning bidder the bid or bids that result in the Highest Auction Price (in excess of the minimum purchase price) from one or more Qualified Bidders.

(e) Upon notification to the winning bidder(s), the winning bidder (or, if the Highest Auction Price requires the sale of Subpools to more than one bidder, each winning bidder) will be required to deliver to the Trustee a signed counterpart of the Auction Purchase Agreement and a good faith deposit equal to one percent (1%) of the Aggregate Principal Balance will be required to be wired to the Trustee no later than 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the Auction Date. If the Highest Auction Price requires the sale of Subpools to more than one bidder, each winning bidder shall contribute to the good faith deposit an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Subpool or Subpools to which its bid relates. Such deposit will not be invested. This deposit will be credited to the purchase price but will not be refundable. The Trustee will establish a separate account for the acceptance of the good faith deposit, until such time as the winning bidder (or, if the Highest Auction Price requires the sale of Subpools to more than one bidder, each winning bidder) pays the full purchase price in cash, at which time all monies will be transferred into the Collection Accounts, such payment in full of the purchase price to be made by the winning bidder prior to the sixth Business Day following the relevant Auction Date. If such good faith deposit or payment in full of the purchase price is not made when due (or, if the Subpools are to be sold to more than one bidder, if any bidder fails to make its contribution to the good faith deposit or make payment of the purchase price when due), the Trustee shall decline to consummate the sale of each Subpool and shall give notice (in accordance with Section 9.3) that the Auction Call Redemption will not occur.

PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Indenture, the Issuer hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the Trustee and the Noteholders as to itself as follows, on the Closing Date:

General

1. The Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) in the collateral described in clauses (a) through (f) inclusive of the first paragraph of the Granting Clauses of the Indenture (the “Collateral”) in favor of the Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other liens and is enforceable against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer.

2. The Collateral constitutes either “general intangibles,” “instruments,” “securities entitlements,” “certificated securities,” “uncertificated securities,” “money” or “deposit accounts” within the meaning of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code.

3. The Interest Collection Account, the Principal Collection Account, the Payment Account, the Expense Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account, the First Distribution Date Reserve Account, the Semi-Annual Interest Reserve Account and the Custodial Account (the “Accounts”) and all subaccounts thereof, constitute either a deposit account or a securities account.

4. All of the Collateral that constitutes security entitlements has been or will be credited to the Custodial Account. The Custodian that has created and is maintaining the Custodial Account, and all subaccounts thereof, has agreed to treat all assets credited to the Custodial Account as “financial assets” within the meaning of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code.

Creation

5. The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Collateral free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

6. The Issuer has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of any item of the Collateral to the Grant to the Trustee of its security interest and rights in the Collateral hereunder.

K-1

Perfection

7. The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the Closing Date of the Indenture, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest Granted to the Trustee hereunder in the Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing.

8. With respect to Collateral that constitutes deposit accounts (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code), the Issuer has taken all steps necessary to cause the Trustee to become the account holder of such Accounts.

9. With respect to Collateral that constitutes securities accounts (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) or security entitlements (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code), the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee a fully executed agreement pursuant to which the securities intermediary maintaining such securities account has agreed to comply with all entitlement orders (as such term is defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) originated by the Trustee relating to the securities accounts and the related security entitlements without further consent by the Issuer.

Priority

10. Other than the security interest Granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Collateral. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of, and is not aware of, any financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral covering the Collateral other than any financing statement relating to the security interest Granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or that has been terminated.

11. The Issuer is not aware of any judgment, ERISA, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or tax lien filings against the Issuer.

12. With regard to Certificated Securities and Instruments in physical form, the Custodian has possession of the originals thereof and none of the instruments that constitute or evidence the Collateral has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Trustee.

13. Neither the Custodial Account nor any subaccount thereof are in the name of any person other than the Trustee. The Trustee has not consented to the securities intermediary of any Custodial Account complying with entitlement orders of any person other than the Trustee.

14. None of the deposit accounts nor any subaccount thereof are in the name of any person other than the Trustee. The Trustee has not consented to the bank maintaining the deposit accounts complying with instructions of any person directing disposition of any of the funds in the deposit accounts.

K-2

Survival of Perfection Representations

15. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, the Perfection Representations contained in this Exhibit shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect until such time as all obligations under the Indenture and the Notes have been finally and fully paid and performed.

No Waiver

16. The parties to this Indenture: (i) shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Securities, waive any of the Perfection Representations; (ii) shall provide the Rating Agencies with prompt written notice of any breach of the Perfection Representation; and (iii) shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Securities (as determined after any adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings following notice of such breach) waive a breach of any of the Perfection Representations.

Issuer to Maintain Perfection and Priority

17. The Issuer covenants that, in order to evidence the interests of the Trustee under this Indenture, the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Collateral Administrator to, take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments (other than effecting a Filing (as defined below), unless such Filing is effected in accordance with this paragraph) as may be necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, such actions as are requested by the Trustee) to maintain and perfect, as a first priority interest, the Trustee’s security interest in the Collateral. The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Collateral Administrator to, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare and present to the Trustee for the Trustee to authorize (based in reliance on the Opinion of Counsel hereinafter provided for) the Issuer or the Collateral Administrator on its behalf to file, all financing statements, amendments, continuations, initial financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement, terminations, partial terminations, releases or partial releases, or any other filings necessary or advisable to continue, maintain and perfect the Trustee’s security interest in the Collateral as a first-priority interest (each a “Filing”). The Issuer shall, or shall cause the Collateral Administrator, to present each such Filing to the Trustee together with (x) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Filing is (i) consistent with the grant of the security interest to the Trustee pursuant to the Granting Clause of this Indenture, (ii) satisfies all requirements and conditions to such Filing in this Indenture and (iii) satisfies the requirements for a Filing of such type under the Uniform Commercial Code in the applicable jurisdiction (or if the Uniform Commercial Code does not apply, the applicable statute governing the perfection of security interests), and (y) a form of authorization for the Trustee’s signature. Upon receipt of such Opinion of Counsel and form of authorization, the Trustee shall promptly authorize in writing the Issuer, or the Collateral Administrator on behalf of the Issuer, to, and the Issuer or the Collateral Administrator shall, effect such Filing under the Uniform Commercial Code without the signature of the Issuer or the Trustee where allowed by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything else in the Indenture to the contrary, neither the Issuer nor the Collateral Administrator on behalf of the Issuer shall have any authority to effect a Filing without obtaining the prior written authorization from the Trustee in accordance with this paragraph 17.
