~~(a) The first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Collateral Manager as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:~~

~~(1) the sum of: (a) Term SOFR and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;~~

~~(2) the sum of: (a) Daily Simple SOFR and (b) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;~~

-9-

(3) the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Index Maturity and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

~~(4) the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; and~~

(5) the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Collateral Manager as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Index Maturity giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar denominated securitizations at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

(b) The benchmark rate being used by either (1) at least 50% of the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Floating Rate Obligations included in the Assets that pay interest quarterly or (2) at least 50% of the floating rate notes priced or closed in new issue collateralized loan obligation transactions and/or floating rate notes in collateralized loan obligation transactions that have amended their benchmark rate, in each case within three months from the later of (x) the date on which the Benchmark Transition Event occurs or (y) such date of determination;

~~provided~~ that (i) if the initial Benchmark Replacement is any rate other than Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR and the Collateral Manager later determines that Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR can be determined, then a Benchmark Transition Event shall be deemed to have occurred and Term SOFR (or, solely if Term SOFR is unavailable, Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable) shall become the new Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement so long as Term SOFR (or, solely if Term SOFR is unavailable, Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable) meets the condition set forth in clause (b) above and thereafter the Benchmark shall be calculated by reference to the sum of (x) Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable, and (y) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and (ii) if at any time the Benchmark Replacement then in effect no longer meets the condition set forth in clause (b) above, the Collateral Manager may, within a commercially reasonable timeframe, to determine a new Benchmark Replacement that satisfies the conditions set forth above; ~~provided~~, ~~further~~, that if the Collateral Manager is unable to determine a benchmark rate in accordance with the foregoing, the Benchmark Replacement shall equal the Fallback Rate until such time a benchmark rate that satisfies the foregoing can be determined by the Collateral Manager. All such determinations made by the Collateral Manager as described above shall be conclusive and binding, and may be made in the Collateral Manager’s sole determination (without liability), and shall become effective without consent from any other party and the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent and Calculation Agent may conclusively rely on such determination. The Collateral Manager shall provide notice to the Issuer, the Collateral Agent and the Calculation Agent of any Benchmark Replacement (including a Fallback Rate) determined or re-determined as described above.

“~~Benchmark Replacement Adjustment~~”: The first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Collateral Manager as of the Benchmark Replacement Date (or as of another date in accordance with the final paragraph of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”):

-10-

(1) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected, endorsed or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;

~~(2) if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment; or~~

(3) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Collateral Manager giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar denominated securitization transactions at such time.

~~“~~Benchmark Replacement~~~~ Initially, Term SOFR; provided that if Term SOFR or the then-current Benchmark is unavailable or no longer reported (other than a temporary unavailability), as determined by the Collateral Manager on any date of determination, then upon written notice from the Collateral Manager to the Issuer, the Calculation Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Trustee of such event and the designation of a Fallback Rate, “Benchmark” means such Fallback Rate for all purposes relating to the Floating Rate Notes in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates; provided, further that, with respect to the Floating Rate Notes, if at any time the Benchmark, determined in accordance with this Indenture, would be a rate less than zero, then such rate shall be deemed to be zero for all purposes under this Indenture.

“Benchmark Floor Obligation”: As of any date of determination, a Floating Rate Obligation (a) the interest in respect of which is paid based on Term SOFR and (b) that provides that such Term SOFR is (in effect) calculated as the greater of (i) a specified “floor” rate per annum and (ii) Term SOFR for the applicable interest period for such Collateral Obligation.

“Benchmark Replacement Rate Conforming Changes”: With respect to any ~~Benchmark Replacement~~Fallback Rate, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Interest Accrual Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, and other administrative matters) that the Collateral Manager decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such ~~Benchmark Replacement~~Fallback Rate in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Collateral Manager decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Collateral Manager determines that no market practice for use of the ~~Benchmark Replacement~~Fallback Rate exists, in such other manner as the Collateral Manager determines is reasonably necessary).

~~“~~Benchmark Replacement Date~~”:~~

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the relevant Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide such Benchmark,

-11-

~~(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information, or~~

~~(3) in the case of clause (4) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the Interest Determination Date following the date of the related Monthly Report.~~

For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

~~“~~Benchmark Transition Event~~”: The occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:~~

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely; ~~provided~~ that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark;

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely; ~~provided~~ that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark;

~~(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative; or~~

~~(4) the Asset Replacement Percentage is greater than 50%, as reported in the most recent Monthly Report.~~

For the avoidance of doubt, while the March 5, 2021 Announcements constitute a Benchmark Transition Event, such event has not caused the occurrence of a Benchmark Replacement Date as of the Closing Date.

(a) With respect to all terms in this Indenture, the singular includes the plural and the plural the singular; words importing any gender include the other genders; references to “writing” include printing, typing, lithography and other means of reproducing words in a visible form; references to agreements and other contractual instruments include all amendments, modifications and supplements thereto or any changes therein entered into in accordance with their respective terms and not prohibited by this Indenture; references to Persons include their permitted successors and assigns; and the term “including” means “including without limitation.”

(b) Unless expressly stated otherwise, references hereunder to (i) the “redemption” of Debt shall be understood to refer, in the case of the Class A-1 Loans, to the repayment of the Class A-1 Loans by the Co-Issuers in accordance with the Credit Agreement, (ii) references to the “issuance” of Debt or to the “execution,” “authentication” and/or “delivery” of Debt shall be understood to refer, in the case of the Class A-1 Loans, to the incurrence of the Class A-1 Loans by the Co-Issuers pursuant to the Credit Agreement and this Indenture and (iii) in all instances where any notice is to be delivered to the Loan Agent for delivery to the Lenders, the Loan Agent shall provide such notice to Class A-1 Lenders pursuant to Section 8.3(d) of the Credit Agreement.

Section 1.3 Assumptions as to Assets. In connection with all calculations required to be made pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Scheduled Distributions on any Asset, or any payments on any other assets included in the Assets, with respect to the sale of and reinvestment in Collateral Obligations, and with respect to the income that can be earned on Scheduled Distributions on such Assets and on any other amounts that may be received for deposit in the Collection Account, the provisions set forth in this Section 1.3 shall be applied. The provisions of this Section 1.3 shall be applicable to any determination or calculation that is covered by this Section 1.3, whether or not reference is specifically made to Section 1.3, unless some other method of calculation or determination is expressly specified in the particular provision.

(a) All calculations with respect to Scheduled Distributions on the Assets securing the Debt shall be made on the basis of information as to the terms of each such Asset and upon reports of payments, if any, received on such Asset that are furnished by or on behalf of the issuer of such Asset and, to the extent they are not manifestly in error, such information or reports may be conclusively relied upon in making such calculations.

(b) For purposes of calculating the Coverage Tests, except as otherwise specified in the Coverage Tests, such calculations will not include scheduled interest and principal payments on Defaulted Obligations unless or until such payments are actually made.

(c) If withholding tax is imposed on Collateral Obligations, the Collateral Quality Test and the Coverage Tests shall be calculated thereafter net of the full amount of such withholding tax unless the Obligor is required to make “gross-up” payments to the Issuer that cover the full amount of any such withholding tax on an after-tax basis pursuant to the underlying instruments with respect thereto.

-84-

(d) For each Collection Period and as of any date of determination, the Scheduled Distribution on any Asset (including Current Pay Obligations but excluding Defaulted Obligations, which, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be assumed to have a Scheduled Distribution of zero, except to the extent any payments have actually been received) shall be the sum of (i) the total amount of payments and collections to be received during such Collection Period in respect of such Asset (including the proceeds of the sale of such Asset received and, in the case of sales which have not yet settled, to be received during the Collection Period and not reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations or Eligible Investments or retained in the Collection Account for subsequent reinvestment pursuant to Section 12.2) that, if received as scheduled, will be available in the Collection Account at the end of the Collection Period and (ii) any such amounts received by the Issuer in prior Collection Periods that were not disbursed on or prior to a previous Payment Date.

(e) Each Scheduled Distribution receivable with respect to an Asset shall be assumed to be received on the applicable Due Date, and each such Scheduled Distribution will be assumed to be immediately deposited in the Collection Account to earn interest at the Assumed Reinvestment Rate. All such funds shall be assumed to continue to earn interest until the date on which they are required to be available in the Collection Account for application, in accordance with the terms hereof, to payments of principal of or interest on the Debt or other amounts payable pursuant to this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, all amounts calculated pursuant to this Section 1.3(d) are estimates and may differ from the actual amounts available to make distributions hereunder, and no party shall have any obligation to make any payment hereunder due to the assumed amounts calculated under this Section 1.3(d) being greater than the actual amounts available. For purposes of the applicable determinations required by Section 10.7(b)(iv), Article XII and the definition of “Interest Coverage Ratio,” the expected interest on the Debt and Floating Rate Obligations will be calculated using the then current interest rates applicable thereto.

(f) References in Section 11.1(a) to calculations made on a “pro forma basis” shall mean such calculations after giving effect to all payments, in accordance with the Priority of Payments described herein, that precede (in priority of payment) or include the clause in which such calculation is made.

(g) For purposes of calculating all Concentration Limitations, in both the numerator and the denominator of any component of the Concentration Limitations, Defaulted Obligations will be treated as having a Principal Balance equal to the Defaulted Obligation Balance.

(h) If a Collateral Obligation included in the Assets would be deemed a Current Pay Obligation but for the applicable percentage limitation in the proviso to the definition of “Defaulted Obligation,” then the Current Pay Obligations with the lowest Market Value (expressed as a percentage of the Principal Balance of such Current Pay Obligations as of the date of determination) shall be deemed Defaulted Obligations. Each such Defaulted Obligation will be treated as a Defaulted Obligation for all purposes until such time as the Aggregate Principal Balance of Current Pay Obligations would not exceed, on a pro forma basis including such Defaulted Obligation, the applicable percentage of the Collateral Principal Amount as set forth in the proviso to the definition of “Defaulted Obligation.”

-85-

(i) Except where expressly referenced herein for inclusion in such calculations, Defaulted Obligations will not be included in the calculation of the Collateral Quality Test.

(j) For purposes of calculating compliance with the Investment Criteria, upon the direction of the Collateral Manager by notice to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator, any Eligible Investment representing Principal Proceeds received upon the sale or other disposition of a Collateral Obligation shall be deemed to have the characteristics of such Collateral Obligation as of the date of such sale or other disposition until reinvested in an additional Collateral Obligation. Such calculations shall be based upon the principal amount of such Collateral Obligation, except in the case of Defaulted Obligations and Credit Risk Obligations, in which case the calculations will be based upon the Principal Proceeds received on the disposition or sale of such Defaulted Obligation or Credit Risk Obligation.

(k) For the purposes of calculating compliance with each of the Concentration Limitations all calculations will be rounded to the nearest 0.1%. All other calculations, unless otherwise set forth herein or the context otherwise requires, shall be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth if expressed as a percentage, and to the nearest one-hundredth if expressed otherwise.

(l) If any Collateral Obligation that is a Closing Date Participation Interest is not elevated by an assignment agreement prior to the Effective Date, such Collateral Obligation shall be deemed to have a principal balance for purposes of determining the Adjusted Collateral Principal Amount equal to the S&P Collateral Value until the date on which such Collateral Obligation is assigned to the Issuer[Reserved].

(m) The Collateral Manager does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Collateral Manager have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “~~LIBOR” or with respect to any~~ Benchmark ~~Replacement~~” or the effect of any of the foregoing.

(n) To the fullest extent permitted by ~~Applicable Law~~applicable law and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other agreement contemplated herein, whenever herein the Collateral Manager is permitted or required to make a decision in its “sole discretion,” “reasonable discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it considers appropriate, including its own interests. The intent of granting authority to act in its “discretion” to the Collateral Manager is that no other express consent of another party is required to be obtained by the Collateral Manager when acting pursuant to such grant of authority under the Collateral Management Agreement; provided that any action taken pursuant to such grant of discretion is consistent with the Collateral Manager Standard.

(o) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, all monetary calculations under this Indenture and the Credit Agreement shall be in Dollars.

-86-

(p) Any reference herein to an amount of the Trustee’s, the Collateral Agent’s, the Loan Agent’s (in each of its capacities) or the Collateral Administrator’s fees calculated with respect to a period at a per annum rate shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360 and shall be based on the aggregate face amount of the Assets.

(q) To the extent of any ambiguity in the interpretation of any definition or term contained herein or in the Credit Agreement or to the extent more than one methodology can be used to make any of the determinations or calculations set forth herein, the Collateral Administrator shall request direction from the Collateral Manager as to the interpretation and/or methodology to be used, and the Collateral Administrator shall follow such direction, and together with the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent, shall be entitled to conclusively rely thereon without any responsibility or liability therefor.

(r) For purposes of calculating compliance with any tests under this Indenture, the trade date (and not the settlement date) with respect to any acquisition or disposition of a Collateral Obligation or Eligible Investment shall be used to determine whether and when such acquisition or disposition has occurred.

(s) For purposes of calculating compliance with the Collateral Quality Test, DIP Collateral Obligations shall be treated as having an S&P Recovery Rate equal to the S&P Recovery Rate for Senior Secured Loans.

(t) All calculations related to Maturity Amendments, sales of Collateral Obligations, the Investment Criteria (and definitions related to sales of Collateral Obligations and the Investment Criteria), and other tests that would be calculated cumulatively since the ~~Closing~~Refinancing Date shall be reset at zero on the date of any Refinancing of all Classes of Debt.

(u) Any direction or Issuer Order required hereunder relating to the purchase, acquisition, sale, disposition or other transfer of Collateral Obligations may be in the form of a trade ticket, confirmation of trade, instruction to post or to commit to the trade or similar instrument or document or other written instruction (including by email or other electronic communication or file transfer protocol) from the Collateral Manager upon which the Collateral Agent may rely.

The Subordinated Notes

¹	As of the ~~Closing~~Refinancing Date.

⁴	The spread over the Benchmark or the stated rate of interest, as applicable, with respect to any Class of Secured Debt (other than the Class A-1 Debt) may be reduced in connection with a Re-Pricing of such Class of Secured Debt, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 9.7.

The initial Benchmark will be LIBOR. The Benchmark may be changed to a Benchmark Replacement in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. LIBOR shall be calculated by reference to three-month LIBOR; provided that with respect to the portion of the first Interest Accrual Period comprising the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the First LIBOR Period End Date, LIBOR shall be determined by interpolating linearly between the rate for the next shorter period of time for which rates are available and the rate for the next longer period of time for which rates are available.

shall be issued in minimum denominations of U.S.$2,000,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1.00 in excess thereof. Notes shall only be transferred or resold in compliance with the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.4 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of each of the Co-Issuers by one of its Officers. The signature of such Officer on the Notes may be manual, electronic or facsimile.

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

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Co-Issuers may deliver Notes executed by the Co-Issuers to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for authentication and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, upon Issuer Order (which Issuer Order shall, in respect of a transfer or exchange of Notes hereunder, shall have been deemed to have been provided upon the Issuer’s delivery of an executed Note to the Trustee), shall authenticate and pursuant to Issuer Order shall deliver such Notes as provided herein and not otherwise.

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

Notes issued upon transfer, exchange or replacement of other Notes shall be issued in authorized denominations reflecting the original ~~aggregate principal amount~~Aggregate Principal Balance of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced, but shall represent only the current Outstanding principal amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced. If any Note is divided into more than one Note in accordance with this Article II, the original principal amount of such Note shall be proportionately divided among the Notes delivered in exchange therefor and shall be deemed to be the original ~~aggregate principal amount~~Aggregate Principal Balance of such subsequently issued Notes.

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

Section 2.5 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Co-Issuers shall cause the Notes to be registered and shall cause to be kept a register (the “Note Register”) at the office of the Trustee in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of

-91-

Notes. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed registrar (the “Note Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of such Notes with respect to the Note Register maintained in the United States as herein provided. Upon any resignation or removal of the Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, in the absence of such appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar.

If a Person other than the Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of a Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof and the Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Note Registrar by an Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal or face amounts and numbers of such Notes. Upon written request at any time the Note Registrar shall provide to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the Placement ~~Agents~~Agent a current list of Holders as reflected in the Note Register.

Subject to this Section 2.5, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Notes at the office or agency of the Co-Issuers to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate, or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate, and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal or face amount. Upon written request at any time, the Trustee shall provide to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the Placement ~~Agents~~Agent a current list of Holders.

In addition, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any certificate of ownership provided to the Trustee by a beneficial owner of a Note (including a Beneficial Ownership Certificate in the form of Exhibit D and the continued ownership of any Note indicated therein) and/or other forms of reasonable evidence of such ownership as to the names and addresses of such beneficial owner and the Classes, principal amounts and CUSIP numbers of Notes beneficially owned thereby and shall have no liability for relying on the same. Upon written request at any time, the Trustee shall provide to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the Placement ~~Agents~~Agent a copy of each Beneficial Ownership Certificate that the Trustee has received.

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~~Aggregate Principal Balance, 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, or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate, and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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

-92-

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 a form reasonably satisfactory to the Note Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act.

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

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

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with, or for otherwise monitoring or determining compliance with, the registration provisions of or any exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction, ERISA, the Code, the Investment Company Act, or the terms hereof; provided that if a certificate is specifically required by the terms of this Section 2.5 to be provided to the Trustee by a prospective transferor or transferee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether or not the certificate substantially conforms on its face to the applicable requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same and the Issuer if such certificate does not comply with such terms.

(e) Transfers of Global Notes shall only be made in accordance with Section 2.2(b), Section 2.5(e) and Section 2.12.

Section 2.6 Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Note. (a) If (i) 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 relevant Transfer Agent evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and such Transfer Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Co-Issuers, the Trustee or such Transfer Agent that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Co-Issuers shall execute and, upon Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate, or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate, and deliver to the Holder, in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note having the same designation, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal or face 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.

-101-

(b) If, after delivery of such new Note, a protected purchaser of the predecessor Note presents for payment, transfer or exchange such predecessor Note, the Co-Issuers, the Transfer Agent and the Trustee 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 Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith.

(c) 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 or defaced Note shall be surrendered.

(d) Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.6, the Co-Issuers may require the payment by the 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.

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

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

Section 2.7 Payment of Principal and Interest and Other Amounts; Principal and Interest Rights Preserved. (a) The Debt of each Class shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period at the applicable Interest Rate, and such interest will be payable in arrears on each Payment Date and shall accrue on each day during each Interest Accrual Period on the Aggregate Outstanding Amount thereof on such day (after giving effect to payments of principal thereof on such day), except as otherwise set forth below. Payment of interest on each Class of Debt (other than the Class A-1 Debt) will be subordinated to the payment of interest on each related Priority Class as provided in Section 11.1. So long as any Priority Class remains Outstanding with respect to each Class of Deferrable Notes, any payment of interest due on such Class of Deferrable Notes that is not available to be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date (“Deferred Interest” with respect to such Class) shall not be considered “due and payable” for the purposes of Section 5.1(a) (and the failure to pay such interest shall not be an Event of Default) until the earliest of (i) the Payment Date on which funds are available to pay such Deferred Interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments, (ii) the Redemption Date with respect to such Class of Deferrable Notes, and (iii) the Stated Maturity of such Class of Deferrable Notes. Deferred Interest on the Deferrable Notes shall be

-102-

payable on the first Payment Date on which funds are available to be used for such purpose in accordance with the Priority of Payments, but in any event no later than the earlier of the Payment Date (i) that is the Redemption Date with respect to such Class of Deferrable Notes, and (ii) that is the Stated Maturity of such Class of Deferrable Notes. Regardless of whether any Priority Class is Outstanding with respect to a Class of Deferrable Notes, to the extent that funds are not available on any Payment Date (other than the Redemption Date with respect to, or Stated Maturity of, such Class of Deferrable Notes) to pay previously accrued Deferred Interest, such previously accrued Deferred Interest will not be due and payable on such Payment Date and any failure to pay such previously accrued Deferred Interest on such Payment Date will not be an Event of Default. Interest will cease to accrue on each Class of Debt, or in the case of a partial repayment, on such repaid part, from the date of repayment. Interest on any Deferred Interest with respect to any Class of Deferrable Notes shall accrue at the applicable Interest Rate for such Class. To the extent lawful and enforceable, interest on any interest that is not paid when due on any Class A-1 Loans, Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes or Class B Notes or, if no Class A-1 Loans, Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes or Class B Notes are Outstanding, any Class C Notes, or if no Class A-1 Loans, Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class B Notes or Class C Notes are Outstanding, any Class D Notes, shall accrue at the Interest Rate for such Class until paid as provided herein.

(b) The principal of each Class of Secured Debt matures at par and is due and payable on the date of the Stated Maturity for such Class, unless such principal has been previously repaid or unless the unpaid principal of such Debt becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of principal of each Class may only occur in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Payments of principal on any Class of Debt which are not paid, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on any Payment Date (other than the Payment Date that is the Stated Maturity of such Class of Debt or any Redemption Date), because of insufficient funds therefor shall not be considered “due and payable” for purposes of Section 5.1(a) until the Payment Date on which such principal may be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments or all Priority Classes with respect to such Class have been paid in full.

(d) The Paying Agent shall require the previous delivery of properly completed and signed applicable tax certifications (generally, in the case of U.S. federal income tax, an IRS Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a United States person (as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) or the applicable IRS Form W-8 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a Person that is not a United States person (as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code)) or other certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and any Paying Agent to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to pay, deduct or withhold from payments in respect of the Notes or the Holder of such Notes under any present or future law or regulation of the United States, any other jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or regulation (including any cost basis reporting obligations) and the delivery of any information required under FATCA. The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any additional

-103-

amounts to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Debt as a result of deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges with respect to the Debt. Nothing herein shall be construed to obligate the Paying Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to determine the duties or liabilities of the Issuer or any other paying agent with respect to any tax certification or withholding requirements, or any tax certification or withholding requirements of any jurisdiction, political subdivision or taxing authority outside the United States.

(e) Payments in respect of interest on and principal of any Debt shall be made by the Collateral Agent or by a Paying Agent in Dollars to (1) the Loan Agent, for distribution to the Class A-1 Lenders in the case of the Class A-1 Loans; (2) DTC or its designee with respect to a Global Note, and (3) the Holder or its nominee with respect to a Certificated Note, in each case by wire transfer, as directed by such Person, in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by the Loan Agent, in the case of the Class A-1 Loans, by DTC or its nominee with respect to a Global Note, or to the Holder or its nominee with respect to a Certificated Note; provided that in the case of a Certificated Note (1) the Holder thereof shall have provided written wiring instructions to the Trustee on or before the related Record Date and (2) if appropriate instructions for any such wire transfer are not received by the related Record Date, then such payment shall be made by check drawn on a U.S. bank mailed to the address of the Holder specified in the Note Register. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of (A) a Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the office of any Paying Agent on or prior to such Maturity and (B) the Class A-1 Loans, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender the lender note representing such Class A-1 Loan to the Corporate Trust Office of the Loan Agent in accordance with the Credit Agreement, in each case, on or prior to such Maturity; provided that if the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent and the Co-Issuers shall have been furnished such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such certificate, then, in the absence of notice to the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent that the applicable Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. Neither the Co-Issuers, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Manager, nor any Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records (or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing such records) maintained by DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream or any of the Agent Members or any of their nominees relating to or for payments made thereby on account of beneficial interests in a Global Note. In the case where any final payment of principal and interest is to be made on any Note (other than on the Stated Maturity thereof), the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent, as applicable in the name and at the expense of the Co-Issuers shall prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, mail (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Persons entitled thereto at their respective addresses as they appear on the Note Register, a notice which shall specify the date on which such payment will be made and the place where such Notes may be presented and surrendered for such payment.

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

-104-

(g) Interest accrued with respect to the Secured Debt (other than the Fixed Rate Debt) shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360. Interest accrued with respect to the Fixed Rate Debt shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months; provided that if redemption thereof occurs on a Business Day that would not otherwise be a Payment Date, interest accrued with respect to the Fixed Rate Debt shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360.

(h) All reductions in the principal amount of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) or Class A-1 Loan effected by payments of installments of principal made on any Payment Date or Redemption Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of such Note and of any Note or Class A-1 Loan, as applicable issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Credit Agreement, the obligations of the Issuer and Co-Issuer under the Notes, the Class A-1 Loans and the Transaction Documents are from time to time and at any time limited recourse obligations of the Issuer and non-recourse obligations of the Co-Issuer payable solely from the proceeds of the Assets available at such time in accordance with the Priority of Payments and following the application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with this Indenture and the Credit Agreement, all obligations of and any claims against the Co-Issuers hereunder or in connection herewith after such realization shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had against any officer, director, manager, partner, member, employee, shared personnel, shareholder, authorized Person or incorporator of either of the Co-Issuers, the Collateral Manager or their respective affiliates, successors or assigns for any amounts payable under the Debt or this Indenture or the Credit Agreement. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (i) shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Assets for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Assets or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Debt or the Credit Agreement or secured by this Indenture until such Assets have been realized. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (i) shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer or the Co-Issuer as a party defendant in any Proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Debt or this Indenture or the Credit Agreement, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity.

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

Section 2.8 Persons Deemed Owners. The Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, and any agent of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall treat as the owner of each Note the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Note Register on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest on such Note and on, other than as otherwise expressly provided in this

-105-

Indenture, any other date for all other purposes whatsoever (whether or not such Note is overdue), and none of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, nor any agent of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.9 Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption, or deemed lost or stolen, shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee and may not be reissued or resold. No Note may be surrendered (including any surrender in connection with any abandonment, donation, gift or contribution thereof or other event or circumstance) except for payment as provided herein, or for registration of transfer or exchange in accordance with this Article II or redemption in accordance with Article IX hereof (and, in the case of Special Redemption, a mandatory redemption pursuant to Section 9.1, or an Optional Redemption in part by Class, only to the extent that such Special Redemption, mandatory redemption or Optional Redemption results in payment in full of the applicable Class of Notes), or for replacement in connection with any Note deemed lost or stolen. Any Notes surrendered for cancellation as permitted by this Section 2.9 shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 2.9, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes held by the Trustee shall be destroyed or held by the Trustee in accordance with its standard retention policy unless the Co-Issuers shall direct by an Issuer Order received prior to destruction that they be returned to it.

Section 2.10 DTC Ceases to be Depository. (a) A Global Note deposited with DTC pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be transferred in the form of one or more corresponding Certificated Notes to the beneficial owners thereof only if (A) such transfer complies with Section 2.5 of this Indenture and (B) either (x) (i) DTC notifies the Co-Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such Global Note, or (ii) DTC ceases to be a Clearing Agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor depository is not appointed by the Co-Issuers within 90 days after receiving notice of such event or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such transfer is requested by any beneficial owner of an interest in such Global Note.

(b) Any Global Note that is transferable in the form of a corresponding Certificated Note to the beneficial owner thereof pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be surrendered by DTC to the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Co-Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate, or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate, and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal ~~aggregate principal amount~~Aggregate Principal Balance of definitive physical certificates (pursuant to the instructions of DTC) in authorized denominations. Any Certificated Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.5, bear the legends set forth in the applicable Exhibit A and shall be subject to the transfer restrictions referred to in such legends.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(b), the Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that such Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

-106-

(d) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.10(a), the Co-Issuers will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Certificated Notes.

If Certificated Notes are not so issued by the Co-Issuers to such beneficial owners of interests in Global Notes as required by Section 2.10(a), the Issuer expressly acknowledges that the beneficial owners shall be entitled to pursue any remedy that the Holders of a Global Note would be entitled to pursue in accordance with Article V of this Indenture (but only to the extent of such beneficial owner’s interest in the Global Note) as if corresponding Certificated Notes had been issued; provided that the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate of ownership provided by such beneficial owners (including a certificate in the form of Exhibit D) and/or other forms of reasonable evidence of such ownership and shall have no liability for relying on the same.

Neither the Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of directions from the DTC, as depository, and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such direction as to the names of the beneficial owners in whose names such Certificated Notes shall be registered or as to delivery instructions for such Certificated Notes.

Section 2.11 Non-Permitted Holders. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere herein, any transfer of a beneficial interest in any Note to a U.S. person that is not a QIB/QP (or solely in the case of Notes issued as Certificated Notes, an IAI/QP) shall in either case be null and void and any such purported transfer of which the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent shall have notice may be disregarded by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent for all purposes. In addition, the acquisition of Notes by a Non-Permitted Holder under Section 2.11(b) shall be null and void ab initio.

(b) If any U.S. person that is not a QIB/QP (or solely in the case of Notes issued as Certificated Notes, a U.S. person that is an IAI/QP) shall in either case become the Holder or beneficial owner of an interest in any Note (any such Person a “Non-Permitted Holder”), the acquisition of such Notes by such Holder shall be null and void ab initio. The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall, promptly after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted Holder by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer (if the Co-Issuer obtains actual knowledge), or upon notice to the Issuer from the Trustee (if a Trust Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge (in which case the Trustee agrees to notify the Issuer of such discovery, if any)), send notice to such Non-Permitted Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted Holder transfer its interest in the Notes held by such Non-Permitted Holder to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted Holder within 30 days after the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted Holder fails to so transfer such Notes or interest therein, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager acting for the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such Notes or interest in such Notes to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer, or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer, may (but is not required to) select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals

-107-

that regularly deal in securities similar to the Notes and sell such Notes to the highest such bidder; provided that the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates and accounts, funds, clients or portfolios established and controlled by the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to bid in any such sale. However, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of each Note, the Non-Permitted Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Notes, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted Holder. The terms and conditions of any such sale under this sub-section shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and none of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent or the Collateral Manager shall be liable to any Person having an interest in the

Notes sold as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

(c) If any Person shall become the beneficial owner of an interest in any Note who has made or is deemed to have made, as applicable, a prohibited transaction, Benefit Plan Investor, Similar Law or Other Plan Law representation required by Section 2.5 that is subsequently shown to be false or misleading or whose beneficial ownership otherwise causes a violation of the 25% Limitation (any such Person a “Non-Permitted ERISA Holder”), the Issuer shall, promptly after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder by the Issuer (or upon notice to the Issuer from the Trustee if it obtains actual knowledge or the Trustee makes the discovery), send notice to such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder transfer all or any portion of the Notes held by such Person to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder within 10 days after the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder fails to so transfer its interest in such Secured Notes or Subordinated Notes, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder, to sell its interest in such Secured Notes or Subordinated Notes to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Secured Notes or Subordinated Notes and selling such Secured Notes or Subordinated Notes to the highest such bidder. However, the Issuer may select a purchaser by any other means in its sole discretion. The holder of each Secured Note or Subordinated Notes, the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Secured Notes or Subordinated Notes, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Trustee to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this subsection shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and none of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee or the Collateral Manager shall be liable to any Person having an interest in the Secured Notes or Subordinated Notes sold as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

Section 2.12 Tax Treatment; Tax Certifications.

(a) Each Holder (including, for purposes of this Section 2.12, any beneficial owner of Notes) agrees to treat the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Notes as described in the “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” section of this Offering Circular for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes and will take no action inconsistent with such treatment unless required by law.

-108-

(b) Each Holder will timely furnish the Issuer, the Trustee or their respective agents with any tax forms or certifications (including, without limitation, IRS Form W-9, an applicable IRS Form W-8 (together with all applicable attachments), or any successors to such IRS forms) that the Issuer, the Trustee or their respective agents reasonably request in order to (A) make payments to the beneficial owner without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding, (B) qualify for a reduced rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which they receive payments, and (C) satisfy reporting and other obligations under the Code, Treasury Regulations, or any other applicable law or regulation (including the Cayman FATCA Legislation and the CRS), and will update or replace such tax forms or certifications in accordance with their terms or subsequent amendments. Such beneficial owner acknowledges that the failure to provide, update or replace any such tax forms or certifications may result in the imposition of withholding or back-up withholding on payments to the beneficial owner, or to the Issuer.

The Issuer may also assign each such Note a separate securities identifier in the Issuer’s sole discretion. Each Holder agrees that the Issuer, the Trustee and/or their agents or representatives may (1) provide any information and documentation concerning its investment in its Notes to the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority, the IRS and any other relevant tax or regulatory authority and (2) take such other steps as they deem necessary or helpful to ensure that the Issuer complies with FATCA, the Cayman FATCA Legislation and the CRS.

(d) If it is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), such Holder:

(i) is:

(g) In the case of a Holder of Equity Notes, such Holder and beneficial owner of an Equity Note, by acceptance of such Equity Note or a beneficial interest therein, represents, acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) it is a “United States person,” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code;

(ii) it will not (A) acquire or directly or indirectly sell, encumber, assign, participate, pledge, hypothecate, rehypothecate, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, suffer the creation of a lien on, or transfer or convey in any manner (each, a “Transfer”) such Notes or beneficial interest therein on or through (x) a United States national, regional or local securities exchange, (y) a foreign securities exchange or (z) an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations by identified brokers or dealers ((x), (y) and (z), collectively, an “Exchange”) or (B) cause any Equity Notes or any interests therein to be marketed on or through an Exchange;

(iii) no sale, transfer, assignment, participation, pledge or other disposition of any Equity Notes (or beneficial interests therein) will be recognized or, if applicable, recorded if such acquisition, sale, transfer, assignment, participation, pledge or other disposition would cause the Equity Notes, collectively, to be held or beneficially owned by more than 98 persons;

(iv) it will not enter into any financial instrument payments on which are, or the value of which is, determined in whole or in part by reference to such Notes or the Issuer (including the amount of Issuer distributions on any Notes, the value of the Issuer’s assets, or the result of the Issuer’s operations), or any contract that otherwise is described in United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(a)(2)(i)(B);

(v) if it is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation for United States federal income tax purposes: (A) no more than 40% of the value of any direct or indirect beneficial owner’s interest in such person is (or, after any transfer, would be) attributable to such person’s interest in any such Notes, and (B) it is not and will not be a principal purpose of the arrangement involving the investment of such person in any such Notes to permit the Issuer to satisfy the “private placement” safe harbor of Treasury Regulation section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii); and

Any Transfer made in violation of this provision will be void and of no force or effect, and will not bind or be recognized by the Issuer or any other person, and no person to which such Notes are transferred will become a Holder nor any transfer of beneficial interest recognized unless such person agrees to be bound by this provision. However, notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, a Transfer in violation of subparagraphs (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), will be permitted if the Issuer receives advice of Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP or Freshfields Bruckhaus Xxxxxxxx US LLP, or an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel experienced in such matters, to the effect that the Transfer will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(vii) In the case of the Equity Notes, each Holder agrees any sale, transfer, assignment, participation, pledge, or other disposition of such Note (or any interest therein) will be void and of no force or effect unless the person to which it transfers such Notes executes a transferee representation and covenant letter attached as Exhibit G.

(h) Each Holder (and each beneficial owner) of a Secured Note agrees that if at any time during which it is also the sole beneficial owner (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of the Subordinated Notes, it will not transfer any Secured Notes or Subordinated Notes unless, before such transfer, the Issuer shall have obtained written advice of Freshfields Bruckhaus Xxxxxxxx US LLP or Cadwalader, Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP, or an opinion of tax counsel of nationally recognized standing in the United States experienced in such matters, to the effect that such transfer will not, solely as a result of such transfer (A) result in the Issuer becoming subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to its net income or subject to tax liability under Section 1446 of the Code, or (B) result in the Issuer being treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the rights and obligations of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent, if applicable, the Holders, as the case may be, under Sections 2.7, 4.2, 5.4(d), 5.9, 5.18, 6.1, 6.3, 6.6, 6.7, 7.1, 7.3, 13.1, 14.10, 14.11, and 14.12 shall survive.

-123-

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

Upon a Responsible Officer’s obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default, each of (i) the Co-Issuers, (ii) the Trustee and (iii) the Collateral Agent and (iv) the Collateral Manager shall notify each other. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default known to a Trust Officer of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and in no event later than three Business Days thereafter) notify the Holders (as their names appear on the Note Register or the Loan Register, as applicable), each Paying Agent, the Loan Agent (for distribution to the Lenders) and the Rating Agency of such Event of Default in writing (unless such Event of Default has been waived as provided in Section 5.14).

Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(f) or (g)), the Collateral Agent may, and shall, upon the written direction of a Supermajority of the Controlling Class, by notice to the Co-Issuers and the Rating Agency, declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Secured Debt to be immediately due and payable, and upon any such declaration such principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and other amounts payable hereunder, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(f) or (g) occurs, all unpaid principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of all the Debt, and other amounts payable thereunder and hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Holder.

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

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

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

-124-

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

(C) all unpaid taxes and Administrative Expenses of the Co-Issuers and other sums paid or advanced by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee hereunder, by the Loan Agent under the Credit Agreement or by the Collateral Administrator under the Collateral Administration Agreement or hereunder, accrued and unpaid Aggregate Collateral Management Fees then due and owing and any other amounts then payable by the Co-Issuers hereunder prior to such Administrative Expenses and such Aggregate Collateral Management Fees; or

(ii) It has been determined that all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the interest on or principal of the Debt that has become due solely by such acceleration, have:

(A) been cured; and

(I) in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e), the Holders of a Majority of the Class A-1 Debt, by written notice to the Collateral Agent, have agreed with such determination (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld); or

(II) in the case of any other Event of Default, the Holders of a Majority of each Class of Debt (voting separately by Class), in each case, by written notice to the Collateral Agent, have agreed with such determination (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld); or

(B) been waived as provided in Section 5.14.

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

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.2 to the contrary, the Debt will not be subject to acceleration by the Collateral Agent solely as a result of the failure to pay any amount due on a Class of Debt other than the Controlling Class or the Class B Notes.

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

-125-

If the Issuer or the Co-Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Collateral Agent, in its own name and as Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may, and shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Section 6.18(c)(iv) and Section 6.20(e)) upon direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Co-Issuers or any other obligor upon the Debt and collect the ~~Monies~~monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Assets.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may in its discretion, and shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Section 6.18(c)(iv) and Section 6.20(e)) upon written direction of the Majority of the Controlling Class, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Secured Parties by such appropriate Proceedings as the Collateral Agent shall deem most effectual (if no such direction is received by the Collateral Agent) or as the Collateral Agent may be directed by the Majority of the Controlling Class, to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement herein 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 Collateral Agent by this Indenture or by law.

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

(a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Debt 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 Collateral Agent (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and each predecessor Collateral Agent, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Collateral Agent and each predecessor Collateral Agent, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Holders allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer;

(b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders upon the direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, 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

-126-

(c) to collect and receive any ~~Monies~~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, the Class A-1 Lenders and of the Collateral Agent on their behalf; and any trustee, receiver or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Noteholders and the Class A-1 Lenders to make payments to the Collateral Agent, and, if the Collateral Agent shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Noteholders (or, in the case of Class A-1 Loans, to the Loan Agent) to pay to the Collateral Agent such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent, each predecessor Collateral Agent and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Collateral Agent and each predecessor Collateral Agent except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

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

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

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

Section 5.4 Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Debt has been declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Co-Issuers agree that the Collateral Agent may, and shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Section 6.18(c)(iv) and Section 6.20(e)), upon written direction of 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 Debt or otherwise payable under this Indenture or the Credit Agreement, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Assets any ~~Monies~~monies adjudged due;

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

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

-127-

(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 Collateral Agent and the Holders of the Debt hereunder (including exercising all rights of the Collateral Agent under the Securities Account Control Agreement); and

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

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

The Collateral Agent may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation (the reasonable cost of which shall be payable as an Administrative Expense) in structuring and distributing securities similar to the Notes, which may be a Placement Agent, as to the feasibility of any action proposed to be taken in accordance with this Section 5.4 and as to the sufficiency of the proceeds and other amounts receivable with respect to the Assets to make the required payments of principal of and interest on the Debt which opinion shall be conclusive evidence as to such feasibility or sufficiency.

(b) If an Event of Default as described in Section 5.1(d) hereof shall have occurred and be continuing the Collateral Agent may, and at the direction of the Holders of not less than 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Section 6.18(c)(iv) and Section 6.20(e)), 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 Secured Party or any Affiliate of the Issuer may bid for and purchase the Assets or any part thereof and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain, possess or dispose of such property in its or their own absolute right without accountability.

Upon any sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial Proceedings, the receipt of the Collateral Agent, 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 Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent and the Holders of the Debt, 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.

-128-

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, none of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Secured Parties or, the Holders or the beneficial owners of Debt may, prior to the date which is one year and one day (or if longer, any applicable preference period plus one day) after the payment in full of all Debt, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, winding-up, moratorium or liquidation Proceedings, or other similar Proceedings under Cayman Islands, United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar laws of any jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Collateral Agent (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned period in (A) any case or Proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or (B) any involuntary insolvency Proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Collateral Agent, 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, winding-up, moratorium, liquidation or similar Proceeding.

Section 5.5 Optional Preservation of Assets. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the right of the Collateral Manager to direct the Collateral Agent to sell Collateral Obligations or Equity Securities in compliance with Section 12.1), if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall retain the Assets securing the Debt intact, collect and cause the collection of the proceeds thereof and make and apply all payments at the date or dates fixed by the Collateral Agent and deposit and maintain all accounts in respect of the Assets and the Debt in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the provisions of Article X, Article XII and Article XIII unless:

(i) the Collateral Agent, pursuant to Section 5.5(c) and in consultation with the Collateral Manager, determines that the anticipated proceeds of a sale or liquidation of all or any portion of the Assets (after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation) would be sufficient to discharge in full the amounts then due (or, in the case of interest, accrued) and unpaid on the Debt for principal and interest (including accrued and unpaid Deferred Interest), and all other amounts that, pursuant to the Priority of Payments, are required to be paid prior to such payments on such Debt (including amounts due and owing as Administrative Expenses (without regard to the Administrative Expense Cap) and due and unpaid Aggregate Collateral Management Fee) and a Supermajority of the Controlling Class agrees with such determination;

(ii) in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e), the Holders of a Supermajority of the Class A-1 Debt direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets (without regard to whether another Event of Default has occurred prior, contemporaneously or subsequent to such Event of Default); or

(iii) in the case of any Event of Default, the Holders of a Supermajority of each Class of Debt (voting separately by Class) direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets.

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), (ii) or (iii) exist.

-129-

(b) Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Collateral Agent to sell the Assets securing the Debt if the conditions set forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 5.5(a) are not satisfied. Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Collateral Agent to preserve the Assets securing the Debt if prohibited by applicable law. The Collateral Agent shall provide written notice to the Rating Agency if it commences the sale of the Assets to this Section 5.5.

(c) In determining whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Collateral Agent shall use reasonable efforts to obtain, with the cooperation of the Collateral Manager, bid prices with respect to each Asset from two nationally recognized dealers (as specified by the Collateral Manager to the Collateral Agent in writing) at the time making a market in such Assets and shall compute the anticipated proceeds of sale or liquidation on the basis of the lower of such bid prices for each such Asset. In the event that the Collateral Agent, with the cooperation of the Collateral Manager, is only able to obtain bid prices with respect to each Asset from one nationally recognized dealer at the time making a market in such Assets, the Collateral Agent shall compute the anticipated proceeds of the sale or liquidation on the basis of such one bid price for each such Asset. If the Collateral Agent is unable to obtain any bids, the condition in Section 5.5(a)(i) shall be deemed to not exist. In addition, for the purposes of determining issues relating to the execution of a sale or liquidation of the Assets and the execution of a sale or other liquidation thereof in connection with a determination whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Collateral Agent may retain and rely on an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation (the cost of which shall be payable as an Administrative Expense).

The Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Trustee (who shall forward to the Noteholders), the Class A-1 Lenders and the Collateral Manager a report stating the results of any determination required pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i) no later than 10 days after such determination is made. The Collateral Agent 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 Supermajority of the Controlling Class at any time during which the Collateral Agent retains the Assets pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i).

Section 5.6 Collateral Agent May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or under any of the Debt may be prosecuted and enforced by the Collateral Agent without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceeding relating thereto, and any such action or Proceeding instituted by the Collateral Agent shall be brought in its own name and as Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and any recovery of judgment shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7 hereof.

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

-130-

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

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

(b) the Holders of not less than 25% of the then Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Secured Debt of the Controlling Class shall have made written request to the Collateral Agent to institute Proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as the Collateral Agent hereunder and such Holder or Holders have provided the Collateral Agent indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities which might reasonably be incurred by it in compliance with such request;

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

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

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

The Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, shall, so long as any Debt remains Outstanding and for a year and a day thereafter, and subject to the proviso below, timely file an answer and any other appropriate pleading objecting to (i) the institution of any proceeding to have the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be, adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or (ii) the filing of any petition seeking relief, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, winding up or composition of or in respect of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be,

-131-

under any Bankruptcy Law or any other applicable law; provided that the obligations set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be subject to the availability of funds therefor under the Priority of Payments. The reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Issuer or Co-Issuer (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with taking any such action shall be paid as Administrative Expenses.

Section 5.9 Unconditional Rights of Holders of Debt to Receive Principal and Interest. Subject to Section 2.7(i), but notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Credit Agreement, any Holder of Secured Debt shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Secured Debt, as such principal, interest and other amounts become due and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Section 13.1, as the case may be, and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.4(d) and Section 5.8, to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. Holders of Debt ranking junior to Debt still Outstanding shall have no right to institute Proceedings or to request the Collateral Agent to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment until such time as no Debt ranking senior to such Debt remains Outstanding, which right shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.4(d) and Section 5.8, and shall not be impaired without the consent of any such Holder.

Section 5.10 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Collateral Agent or any Holder 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 Collateral Agent or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Co-Issuers, the Collateral Agent and the Holder 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 Issuer, the Collateral Agent and the Holder 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 Collateral Agent or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.12 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent or any Holder of Secured Debt to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein or of a subsequent Event of Default.

(b) the Collateral Agent may take any other action deemed proper by the Collateral Agent that is not inconsistent with such direction; provided that subject to Section 6.18, the Collateral Agent need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or expense (unless the Collateral Agent has received the indemnity as set forth in (c) below);

(c) the Collateral Agent shall have been provided with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against all costs, expenses (including reasonable and documented attorney’s fees and expenses) and liabilities which might be incurred by it in connection with such request; and

(iii) to indemnify the Collateral Agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense

(b) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Co-Issuers, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Holders of the Debt and the Rating Agency not less than 30 days prior to such resignation.

(e) If the Collateral Agent shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Collateral Agent for any reason (other than resignation), the Co-Issuers, by Issuer Order, shall promptly appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If the Co-Issuers shall fail to appoint a successor Collateral Agent within 30 days after such resignation, removal or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Collateral Agent may be appointed by a Majority of the Controlling Class by written instrument delivered to the Issuer and the retiring Collateral Agent. The successor Collateral Agent so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Collateral Agent and supersede any successor Collateral Agent proposed by the Co-Issuers. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Co-Issuers or a Majority of the Controlling Class and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, subject to Section 5.15, the retiring Collateral Agent may, or any Holder may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.

(f) The Co-Issuers shall give prompt notice of each resignation and each removal of the Collateral Agent and each appointment of a successor Collateral Agent by providing written notice of such event to the Collateral Manager, the Trustee, the Loan Agent, to the Holders of the Debt as their names and addresses appear in the Note Register or the Loan Register, as applicable, and to the Rating Agency.

(g) Any resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent under this Section 6.26 shall be an effective resignation or removal of the Bank in all capacities under this Indenture.

-160-

Section 6.27 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Collateral Agent. Every successor Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall meet the requirements of Section 6.25 and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Co-Issuers and the retiring Collateral Agent an instrument accepting such appointment. Upon delivery of the required instruments, the resignation or removal of the retiring Collateral Agent shall become effective and such successor Collateral Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Collateral Agent; but, on request of the Co-Issuers or a Majority of any Class of Debt or the successor Collateral Agent, such retiring Collateral Agent shall, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Collateral Agent all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Collateral Agent, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent all property and Money held by such retiring Collateral Agent hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Collateral Agent, the Co-Issuers shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Collateral Agent all such rights, powers and trusts.

Section 6.28 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Collateral Agent. Any organization or entity into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any organization or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or any organization or entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Collateral Agent, shall be the successor of the Collateral Agent hereunder; provided that, such organization or entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VI, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any of the Debt has been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Collateral Agent then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Collateral Agent may adopt such authentication and deliver the Debt so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Collateral Agent had itself authenticated such Debt.

Section 6.29 Certain Duties of Collateral Agent Related to Delayed Payment of Proceeds. In the event that in any month the Collateral Agent receives notice from the Collateral Manager or the Collateral Administrator that a payment has not been received with respect to any Asset on its Due Date, (a) the Collateral Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager in writing or electronically and (b) unless within three Business Days (or the end of the applicable grace period for such payment, if longer) after such notice such payment shall have been received by the Collateral Agent, or the Issuer, in its absolute discretion (but only to the extent permitted by Section 10.2(a)), shall have made provision for such payment satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 10.2(a), the Collateral Agent shall request the issuer of such Asset, the trustee or agent under the related Underlying Document or paying agent designated by either of them, as the case may be, to make such payment as soon as practicable after such request but in no event later than three Business Days after the date of such request. In the event that such payment is not made within such time period, the Collateral Agent, subject to the provisions of clause (iv) of Section 6.18(c), shall take such reasonable action as the Collateral Manager shall direct in writing. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture. In the event that the Issuer or the Collateral Manager requests a release of an Asset

-161-

and/or delivers an additional Collateral Obligation in connection with any such action under the Collateral Management Agreement or under this Indenture, such release and/or substitution shall be subject to Section 10.7 and Article XII of this Indenture, as the case may be. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Issuer or its designee any payment with respect to any Asset or any additional Collateral Obligation received after the Due Date thereof to the extent the Issuer previously made provisions for such payment satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Section 6.29 and such payment shall not be deemed part of the Assets.

Reasonably promptly after receipt thereof, the Collateral Agent upon a Responsible Officer having actual knowledge thereof will notify and provide to the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer a copy of any documents, financial reports, legal opinions or any other information reasonably available to it without undue cost or burden, including, without limitation, any notices, reports, requests for waiver, consent requests or any other requests or communications relating to the Assets or any Obligor or to actions affecting the Assets or any Obligor. Upon reasonable request by the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Agent further agrees to provide to the requesting Person from time to time, on a timely basis, any information in its possession and reasonably available to it relating to the Collateral Obligations, the Equity Securities and the Eligible Investments as requested so as to enable the requesting Person to perform its duties hereunder, under the Collateral Administration Agreement or under the Collateral Management Agreement, as applicable.

Section 6.30 Withholding. If any withholding tax is imposed on the Issuer’s payment (or allocations of income) under the Notes to any Holder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Holder. The Collateral Agent or any Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to any Holder sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Issuer (but such authorization shall not prevent the Collateral Agent or such Paying Agent from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to any Holder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Holder at the time it is withheld by the Collateral Agent or any Paying Agent and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution and the Collateral Agent or any Paying Agent has not received documentation from such Holder showing an exemption from withholding, the Collateral Agent or such Paying Agent shall withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 6.30. If any Holder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Collateral Agent or such Paying Agent shall reasonably cooperate with such Holder in making such claim so long as such Xxxxxx agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent or such Paying Agent for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred. Nothing herein shall impose an obligation on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Paying Agent to determine the amount of any tax or withholding obligation on the part of the Issuer or in respect of the Debt.

Section 6.31 Collateral Agent as Representative for Secured Holders Only; Collateral Agent as Agent for each other Secured Party. With respect to the security interest created hereunder, the delivery of any Asset to the Collateral Agent is to the Collateral Agent as representative of the Holders of Debt and agent for each other Secured Party. In furtherance of

-162-

the foregoing, the possession by the Collateral Agent of any Asset, the endorsement to or registration in the name of the Collateral Agent of any Asset are all undertaken by the Collateral Agent in its capacity as representative of the Holders of Debt and agent for each other Secured Party.

Section 6.32 Communication with the Rating Agency. Subject to Section 14.18, any written communication, including any confirmation, from a Rating Agency provided for or required to be obtained by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee hereunder shall be sufficient in each case when such communication or confirmation is received by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, including by electronic message, facsimile, press release, posting to such Rating Agency’s website, or other written communication.

The Co-Issuers shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent, the Rating Agency then rating a Class of Debt and the Holders of the appointment or termination of any such agent and of the location and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

Any ~~Monies~~monies deposited with a Paying Agent (other than the Collateral Agent) 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 Collateral Agent for application in accordance with Article XI.

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

-164-

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

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

(e) if such Paying Agent is not the Collateral Agent, during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, forthwith pay to the Collateral Agent 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 Collateral Agent all sums held in trust by the Co-Issuers or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Collateral Agent 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 Collateral Agent, 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 Collateral Agent or any Paying Agent in trust for any payment on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be paid to the Co-Issuers on Issuer Order; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Co-Issuers for payment of such amounts (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Co-Issuers) and all liability of the Collateral Agent or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust Money shall thereupon cease. The Collateral Agent 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, but not limited to, mailing notice of such release to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in ~~Monies~~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.

Neither the Issuer nor the Co-Issuer shall take any action, or conduct its affairs in a manner, that is likely to result in its separate existence being ignored or in its assets and liabilities being substantively consolidated with any other Person in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) the Issuer shall not have any subsidiaries other than the Co-Issuer, and (ii) except to the extent contemplated in the Administration Agreement (x) the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall not (A) except as contemplated by the Offering Circular, any Transaction Document, the Memorandum and Articles or the Administration Agreement, engage in any transaction with any affiliate that would constitute a conflict of interest or (B) the Issuer shall not make distributions other than in accordance with the applicable terms of this Indenture and the Memorandum and Articles, and (y) the Issuer shall, except when otherwise required for consolidated accounting purposes or tax purposes, (A) maintain books and records separate from any other Person, (B) maintain its accounts separate from those of any other Person, (C) not commingle its assets with those of any other Person, (D) conduct its own business in its own name, (E) maintain separate financial statements (if any), (F) pay its own liabilities out of its own funds, (G) maintain an arm’s length relationship with its Affiliates, (H) use separate stationery, invoices and checks, (I) hold itself out as a separate Person and (J) correct any known misunderstanding regarding its separate identity.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) Issuer may withhold any amount that it or any advisor retained by the Issuer or an advisor appointed on its behalf determines is required to be withheld from any amounts otherwise distributable to any Person, (ii) if reasonably able to do so, the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered an applicable IRS Form W-8 or successor applicable form and other properly completed and executed documentation, as it determines is necessary to permit the Issuer to receive payments without withholding or deduction or at a reduced rate of withholding or deduction, and (iii) the Issuer shall take commercially reasonable efforts to timely obtain a Global Intermediary Identification Number from the IRS and comply with any requirements necessary to establish and maintain its status as a “reporting Model 1 FFI” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section 1.1471-1(b)(114).

Any action taken by the Partnership Representative in connection with audits of the Issuer under the Code will, to the extent permitted by law, be binding upon the “equity owners” (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of the Issuer. Each such beneficial owner agrees that it will treat any Issuer item on such beneficial owner’s income tax returns consistently with the treatment of the item on the Issuer’s tax return and that such beneficial owner will not independently act with respect to tax audits or tax litigation affecting the Issuer, unless previously authorized to do so in writing by the Partnership Representative (or, if applicable, its agent and attorney-in-fact), which authorization may be withheld in the complete discretion of the Partnership Representative (or, if applicable, its agent and attorney in fact). The Issuer will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, reimburse and indemnify the Partnership Representative and any agent and attorney-in-fact of such Partnership Representative in connection with any expenses reasonably incurred in connection with its performance of its duties as or on behalf of the Partnership Representative. For the avoidance of doubt, any indemnity or reimbursement provided pursuant to the immediately foregoing sentence shall be treated as an Administrative Expense pursuant to the definition thereof.

(d) Unless ~~clause (e)~~ below is applicable, within 30 Business Days after the Effective Date (but in no event later than the Determination Date immediately prior to the first Payment Date), the Issuer shall provide, or cause the Collateral Manager (or, in the case of ~~clause (ii)~~, the Collateral Administrator) to provide, the following documents: (i) to the Rating Agency, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, a report identifying the Collateral Obligations; (ii) to the Rating Agency, the Effective Date Report, and (iii) to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, an accountants’ certificate (the “~~Accountants’ Certificate~~”) (A) recalculating and comparing the Obligor, Principal Balance, spread/coupon, stated maturity, country of Domicile and S&P Rating with respect to each Collateral Obligation as of the Effective Date and the information provided by the Issuer with respect to every other asset included in the Assets, by reference to such sources as shall be specified therein, (B) calculating as of the Effective Date the level of compliance with, or satisfaction or non-satisfaction of (1) the Target Initial Par Condition, (2) each Overcollateralization Ratio Test, (3) the Concentration Limitations and (4) the Collateral Quality Test (excluding the S&P CDO Monitor Test); and (C) specifying the procedures undertaken by them to review data and computations relating to such Accountants’ Certificate.

(e) If neither the Effective Date Condition nor the S&P Rating Condition is satisfied prior to the date 30 Business Days after the Effective Date (but in no event later than the Determination Date immediately preceding the first Payment Date), then (A) the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) shall (x) either (i) cause the S&P Deemed Rating Confirmation to occur or (ii) request S&P to confirm, on or before the first Determination Date, that it will not reduce or withdraw its Initial Rating of the Debt it rated and (B) if, by the first Determination Date, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) has not caused the S&P Deemed Rating Confirmation to occur or obtained the confirmation from S&P, each as described in the preceding ~~clause (A)~~ of this paragraph, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) shall instruct the Collateral Agent to transfer amounts from the Interest Collection Subaccount to the Principal Collection Subaccount and may, prior to the first Payment Date, purchase additional Collateral Obligations in an amount sufficient to enable the Co-Issuers (or the Collateral Manager on the Co-Issuers’ behalf) to (x) cause the S&P Deemed Rating Confirmation to occur or (y) obtain from S&P written confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Debt it rated; ~~provided~~ that, in lieu of complying with the preceding ~~clauses (A)~~ and ~~(B)~~, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) may take such action, including but not limited to, a Special Redemption and/or transferring amounts from the Interest Collection Subaccount to the Principal Collection Subaccount as Principal Proceeds (for use in a Special Redemption), sufficient to enable the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) to (x) cause the S&P Deemed Rating Confirmation to occur or (y) obtain from S&P written confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Debt it rated.

(f) An S&P Deemed Rating Confirmation (“~~S&P Deemed Rating Confirmation~~”) shall occur, and a written confirmation from S&P of its initial ratings of the Secured Debt will be deemed to have been provided, if (x) the Issuer causes the Collateral

-178-

Manager to provide to S&P the Effective Date Report and the Effective Date Report confirms satisfaction of the S&P CDO Monitor Test as of the Effective Date, (y) the Collateral Manager certifies to S&P (which confirmation may be in the form of an email) that as of the Effective Date the S&P CDO Monitor Test is satisfied (testing as though the S&P CDO Monitor Switchover Date has occurred and taking into account the S&P CDO Monitor Non-Model Adjustments described below) and (z) the Collateral Manager provides to S&P a report identifying the Collateral Obligations used to generate the passing test result; ~~provided~~ that, for purposes of determining compliance with the S&P CDO Monitor Test in connection with such Effective Date Report, the Aggregate Funded Spread will be calculated without giving effect to the proviso to ~~clause (a)~~ of the definition of “Aggregate Funded Spread” and by assuming that any Collateral Obligation subject to a Libor floor bears interest at a rate equal to the stated interest rate spread over the Libor-based index for such Collateral Obligation (the “~~S&P CDO Monitor Non-Model Adjustments~~”).

Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, if the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) elects to direct a Special Redemption of the Debt pursuant to ~~clause (e)~~ above, the Issuer may use amounts on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount to make such Special Redemption on any Business Day (other than a Payment Date) to the extent necessary to obtain from S&P, its written confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Debt it rated. Payments made in respect of the Debt in connection with such Special Redemption shall be paid in accordance with the Debt Payment Sequence. For the avoidance of doubt, such payments will be made without regard to the Priority of Payments.

Amounts may not be transferred from the Interest Collection Subaccount to the Principal Collection Subaccount pursuant to ~~clause (e)~~ above if, after giving effect to such transfer the amounts available pursuant to the Priority of Payments on the next succeeding Payment Date would be insufficient to pay the full amount of the accrued and unpaid interest on any Class of Debt on such next succeeding Payment Date.

(g) The amount specified in ~~Section 3.1(k)(i)~~ will be deposited in the Ramp-Up Account on the Closing Date. At the direction of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer), the Collateral Agent shall apply the remaining amounts held in the Ramp-Up Account to purchase additional Collateral Obligations from the Closing Date to and including the Effective Date as described in ~~clause (b)~~ above. If on the Effective Date, any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account have not been applied to purchase Collateral Obligations, such amounts shall be applied as described in ~~Section 10.3(c)~~.

(h) ~~Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate~~. On or prior to the Effective Date, the Collateral Manager shall elect the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate that shall apply on and after the Effective Date but prior to the S&P CDO Monitor Switchover Date to the Collateral Obligations for purposes of determining compliance with the Minimum Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate Test, and the Collateral Manager will so notify the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent and the Collateral Administrator. Thereafter, at any time prior to the S&P CDO Monitor Switchover Date, on written notice to the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator in the form of ~~Exhibit E~~ attached hereto, and S&P, the Collateral Manager may elect a different Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate to apply to the Collateral Obligations; ~~provided~~ that if (i) the Collateral Obligations are currently in compliance with the Weighted

-179-

Average S&P Recovery Rate case then applicable to the Collateral Obligations but the Collateral Obligations would not be in compliance with the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate case to which the Collateral Manager desires to change, then such changed case shall not apply, or (ii) the Collateral Obligations are not currently in compliance with the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate case then applicable to the Collateral Obligations and would not be in compliance with any other Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate case, the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate to apply to the Collateral Obligations shall be the lowest Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate in ~~Section 2~~ of ~~Schedule 5~~. If the Collateral Manager does not notify the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent and the Collateral Administrator that it will alter the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate chosen on or prior to the Effective Date in the manner set forth above, the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate chosen on or prior to the Effective Date shall continue to apply. After the S&P CDO Monitor Switchover Date, the Collateral Manager may not elect to use the S&P CDO Monitor in determining compliance with the S&P CDO Monitor Test.

(i) The failure of the Issuer to satisfy the requirements of this ~~Section 7.18~~ will not constitute an Event of Default unless such failure constitutes an Event of Default under ~~Section 5.1(d)~~ hereof and the Issuer, or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer, has acted in bad faith

No amendment to this Indenture will be effective against the Loan Agent if such amendment would adversely affect the Loan Agent, including, without limitation, any amendment or supplement that would increase the duties or liabilities of, or adversely change the economic consequences to, the Loan Agent, unless the Loan Agent otherwise consents in writing.

(b) The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture and shall make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture ~~(including, without limitation, a supplemental indenture in connection with the adoption of a Benchmark Replacement)~~ which adversely affects, as applicable, the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. The Collateral Administrator (including in its capacity as Calculation Agent) shall not be bound to follow or agree to any amendment or supplement to this Indenture ~~(including, without limitation, a supplemental indenture in connection with the adoption of a Benchmark Replacement~~ that would increase or materially change or affect the duties, obligations or liabilities of the Collateral Administrator (including in its capacity as Calculation Agent) (including without limitation the imposition or expansion of

-189-

discretionary authority) or reduce, eliminate, limit or otherwise change any right, privilege or protection of the Collateral Administrator (including in its capacity as Calculation Agent) or would otherwise materially and adversely affect the Collateral Administrator (including in its capacity as Calculation Agent), in each case in its reasonable judgment, without the Collateral Administrator’s express written consent.

(c) The Trustee and the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on an Opinion of Counsel (which may be supported as to factual (including financial and capital markets) matters by any relevant certificates and other documents necessary or advisable in the judgment of counsel delivering the opinion) or a Responsible Officer’s certificate of the Collateral Manager as to whether (i) the interests of any Holder of Debt would be materially and adversely affected by the modifications set forth in any supplemental indenture and (ii) in the case of a supplemental indenture which requires the consent of a Pari Passu Class, such supplemental indenture by its terms would directly and materially affect the Holders of any such Class exclusively and differently from the Holders of the other Class that composes such Pari Passu Class, it being expressly understood and agreed that neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any obligation to make any determination as to the satisfaction of the requirements related to any supplemental indenture which may form the basis of such Opinion of Counsel or such Responsible Officer’s certificate. Such determination as to whether the interests of Holders of such Class have been materially and adversely affected shall be conclusive and binding on all present and future holders. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such determination made in good faith and in reliance upon an Opinion of Counsel or such a Responsible Officer’s certificate delivered to the Trustee and Collateral Agent as described herein.

Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any reliance made in good faith upon such an Opinion of Counsel.

(e) At the cost of the Co-Issuers, for so long as any Debt shall remain Outstanding, not later than 15 Business Days prior to the execution of any proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.1 and not later than 10 Business Days prior to the execution of any proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.2, the Collateral Agent shall provide to the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator, the Loan Agent (for delivery to the Class A-1 Lenders), the Rating Agency and the Noteholders a notice attaching a copy of such supplemental indenture and indicating the proposed date of execution of such supplemental indenture. Following such delivery by the Collateral Agent, if any changes are made to such supplemental indenture other than changes of a technical nature or to correct

-190-

typographical errors or to adjust formatting, or to implement changes described in a previously delivered version of such supplemental indenture, then at the cost of the Co-Issuers, for so long as any Debt rated by the Rating Agency shall remain Outstanding, not later than three Business Days prior to the execution of such proposed supplemental indenture (provided, that the execution of such proposed supplemental indenture will not in any case occur earlier than the date fifteen Business Days (if pursuant to Section 8.1) or ten Business Days (if pursuant to Section 8.2) after the initial distribution of such proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8.3(e)), the Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Rating Agency a copy of such supplemental indenture as revised, indicating the changes that were made. At the cost of the Co-Issuers, the Collateral Agent shall provide to the Rating Agency, the Loan Agent (for delivery to the Class A-1 Lenders) and the Holders (in the manner described in Section 14.4) a copy of the executed supplemental indenture after its execution.

(f) It will not be necessary for any Act of Holders to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it will be sufficient, if the consent of any Holders to such proposed supplemental indenture is required, that such Act approves the substance thereof.

(g) Any consent given by Holders of a Class of Debt pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be binding upon all future Holders of Debt.

-194-

None of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Loan Agent shall be obligated to enter into any amendment that, in its view, adversely affects its duties, obligations, liabilities or protections hereunder, and the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel as to matters of law (which may be supported as to factual (including financial and capital markets) matters by any relevant certificates and other documents necessary or advisable in the judgment of counsel delivering such Opinion of Counsel) provided by the Issuer to the effect that such amendment meets the requirements specified above and is permitted under this Indenture (except that such officer or counsel shall have no obligation to certify or opine as to the sufficiency of the Refinancing Proceeds, or the sufficiency of the Accountants’ Certificate or other accountants’ certificates or information required hereunder).

In connection with a Refinancing of all Classes of Secured Debt in full, the Collateral Manager may agree to designate Principal Proceeds in an amount up to the Excess Par Amount for distribution the Holders of the Subordinated Notes on the Refinancing Date (such designated amount, the “Designated Excess Par”), and direct the Trustee to distribute such Designated Excess Par to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes on the Refinancing Date. If a Class or Classes of Debt is redeemed or repaid, as applicable, in connection with a Refinancing upon a redemption or repayment, as applicable, of the Secured Debt in part by Class, Refinancing Proceeds, together with Partial Refinancing Interest Proceeds, will be applied on the related Redemption Date to pay the Redemption Price(s) of such Class or Classes of Debt in accordance with Section 11.1(a)(iv).

-195-

Date, notify the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent in writing of such Redemption Date, the applicable Record Date, the principal amount of Debt to be redeemed on such Redemption Date and the applicable Redemption Prices; provided that, failure to effect any Optional Redemption which is withdrawn by the Co-Issuers in accordance with this Indenture or with respect to which a Refinancing fails to occur shall not constitute an Event of Default or a Failed Optional Redemption. If there is a Failed Optional Redemption, an Enforcement Event shall occur and distributions and proceeds in respect of the Assets will be applied at the date or dates fixed by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 11.1(a)(iii).

(j) In connection with any Optional Redemption of the Secured Debt in whole or of any Class of the Debt in connection with a Refinancing of such Class, Holders of 100% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of any Class of Notes to be redeemed may elect to receive less than 100% of the Redemption Price that would otherwise be payable to the Holders of such Class of Debt.

(k) At the direction of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes, the Issuer may redeem the Subordinated Notes at their Redemption Price, in whole but not in part, on any Business Day upon five Business Days’ written notice to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent on or after the Optional Redemption, Tax Redemption, Clean-Up Call Redemption or repayment in full of the Debt.

-196-

Business Day on which such redemption is to be made (which date shall be designated in such direction). In the event of any redemption pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3, a notice of redemption shall be given by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 14.4 not later than nine Business Days prior to the applicable Redemption Date, to each Holder of Debt, at such Holder’s address in the Note Register or the Loan Register, as applicable, and the Rating Agency.

The failure to effect any Optional Redemption which is withdrawn by the Co-Issuers in accordance with this Indenture or with respect to which a Refinancing fails will not constitute an Event of Default or a Failed Optional Redemption.

(d) Notice of redemption pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3 shall be given by the Co-Issuers or, upon an Issuer Order, by the Collateral Agent 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 Debt selected for redemption shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Debt.

(e) Unless Refinancing Proceeds are being used to redeem the Secured Debt in whole or in part, in the event of any redemption pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3, no Class of Secured Debt may be optionally redeemed unless (i) at least one Business Day before the scheduled Redemption Date the Collateral Manager shall have certified to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer has entered into a binding agreement or agreements with (A) a financial or other institution or institutions whose short-term unsecured debt obligations (other than such obligations whose rating is based on the credit of a Person other than such institution) are rated, or guaranteed by a Person whose short-term unsecured debt obligations are rated, at least “A-1” by S&P or (B) a special purpose entity that satisfies all then-current bankruptcy remoteness criteria of the Rating Agency, in either case, on the

Any certification delivered by the Collateral Manager pursuant to this Section 9.4(e) shall include (1) the prices of, and expected proceeds from, the sale or redemption (directly or by participation or other arrangement) of any Collateral Obligations and/or Eligible Investments and (2) all calculations required by this Section 9.4(e).

Upon final payment on any Note to be so redeemed, the Holder shall present and surrender such Note at the place specified in the notice of redemption on or prior to such Redemption Date; provided that if there is delivered to the Co-Issuers and the Trustee such

-198-

security or indemnity as may be required by them to save such party harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such Note, then, in the absence of notice to the Co-Issuers, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent that the applicable Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. Payments of interest on Debt so to be redeemed that are payable on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Debt, or one or more predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to the terms and provisions of Section 2.7(e).

(b) 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 Interest Rate for each successive Interest Accrual Period such Note remains Outstanding; provided that the reason for such non-payment is not the fault of such Noteholder.

Section 9.6 Special Redemption. Principal payments on the Debt shall be made in part in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date or, with respect to a redemption pursuant to clause (ii), as otherwise described in Section 7.18, (i) during the Reinvestment Period, if the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion notifies the Collateral Agent at least five Business Days prior to the applicable Special Redemption Date that it has been unable, for a period of at least 20 consecutive Business Days, to identify additional Collateral Obligations that are deemed appropriate by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion and which would satisfy the Investment Criteria in sufficient amounts to permit the investment or reinvestment of all or a portion of the funds then in the Collection Account that are to be invested in additional Collateral Obligations, (ii) if the Collateral Manager elects to direct a Special Redemption to the extent necessary to enable the Co-Issuers (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) to obtain from S&P its written confirmation of its initial ratings of the Secured Debt (provided such confirmation from S&P is not required if the S&P Deemed Rating Confirmation has occurred ~~or the Effective Date Condition has been satisfied~~) or (iii) if a Retention Deficiency exists, to the extent necessary to reduce such Retention Deficiency to zero (each of (i), (ii) and (iii), a “Special Redemption”). On the first Payment Date (and all subsequent Payment Dates) following the Collection Period in which such notice is given (a “Special Redemption Date”), the amount in the Collection Account representing, as applicable, (1) Principal Proceeds which the Collateral Manager has determined cannot be reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations, (2) Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds available therefor in accordance with the Priority of Payments on each Payment Date until the Issuer obtains confirmation from S&P of its Initial Ratings of the Secured Debt (provided such confirmation from S&P is not required if the S&P Deemed Rating Confirmation has occurred ~~or the Effective Date Condition has been satisfied~~) or (3) Principal Proceeds necessary to reduce any outstanding Retention Deficiency to zero (such amount, a “Special Redemption Amount”) will be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Notice of payments pursuant to this Section 9.6 shall be given by the Collateral Agent not less than three Business Days prior to the applicable Special Redemption Date by facsimile, email transmission or first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Debt affected thereby at such Holder’s facsimile number, email address or mailing address on the Note Register or Loan Register, as applicable, and to the Rating Agency.

Section 9.7 Optional Re-Pricing. (a) On any Business Day after the Non-Call Period, at the written direction of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes, the Co-Issuers shall

-199-

reduce the spread over the Benchmark with respect to any Class of Floating Rate Debt (other than the Class A-1 Debt) or the stated rate of interest with respect to any Class of Fixed Rate Debt (other than the Class A-1 Debt) (such reduction with respect to any such Class of Secured Debt, a “Re-Pricing” and any Class of Secured Debt to be subject to a Re-Pricing, a “Re-Priced Class”); provided that the Co-Issuers shall not effect any Re-Pricing unless each condition specified in this Section 9.7 is satisfied with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, no terms of any Class of Secured Debt other than the Interest Rate applicable thereto may be modified or supplemented in connection with a Re-Pricing. In connection with any Re-Pricing, the Issuer may engage a broker-dealer (the “Re-Pricing Intermediary”) upon the recommendation and subject to the approval of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes and such Re-Pricing Intermediary shall assist the Issuer in effecting the Re-Pricing.

(b) At least 30 days prior to the Business Day fixed by a Majority of the Subordinated Notes for any proposed Re-Pricing (the “Re-Pricing Date”), the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, shall deliver a notice in writing to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent (who shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to each Holder of the proposed Re-Priced Class, the Collateral Manager and the Rating Agency) and the Loan Agent, which notice shall:

(i) specify the proposed Re-Pricing Date and the revised spread over the Benchmark or the stated rate of interest, as applicable, to be applied with respect to such Class (the “Re-Pricing Rate”);

(ii) request each Holder of the Re-Priced Class to approve the proposed Re-Pricing; and

(iii) specify the price at which Debt of any Holder of the Re-Priced Class which does not approve the Re-Pricing may be sold and transferred pursuant to Section 9.7(c), which, for purposes of such Re-Pricing, shall be the Redemption Price after giving effect on a pro forma basis to all payments to be made pursuant to the Priority of Payments on the Re-Pricing Date if such date is a Payment Date.

(c) In the event any Holders of the Re-Priced Class do not deliver written consent to the proposed Re-Pricing on or before the date that is 10 Business Days prior to the proposed Re-Pricing Date, the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, shall deliver written notice thereof to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent (who shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to the consenting Holders of the Re-Priced Class) and the Loan Agent, specifying the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Secured Debt of the Re-Priced Class held by such non-consenting Holders, and shall request each such consenting Holder provide written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager and the Re-Pricing Intermediary if such Holder would like to purchase all or any portion of the Secured Debt of the Re-Priced Class held by the non- consenting Holders (each such notice, an “Exercise Notice”) within five Business Days after receipt of such notice. In the event the Issuer shall receive Exercise Notices with respect to more than the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Debt of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders, the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, shall cause the sale and transfer of such Debt, without further notice to the non-consenting Holders thereof (for settlement on the Re-Pricing Date) to the Holders

-200-

delivering Exercise Notices with respect thereto, pro rata based on the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Debt such Holders indicated an interest in purchasing pursuant to their Exercise Notices. In the event the Issuer shall receive Exercise Notices with respect to less than the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Debt of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders, the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, shall cause the sale and transfer of such Debt, without further notice to the non-consenting Holders thereof (for settlement on the Re-Pricing Date) to the Holders delivering Exercise Notices with respect thereto, and any excess Debt of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders shall be sold (for settlement on the Re-Pricing Date) to one or more transferees designated by the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer. All sales of Debt to be effected pursuant to this clause (c) shall be made at the Redemption Price after giving effect on a pro forma basis to all payments to be made pursuant to the Priority of Payments on the Re-Pricing Date if such date is a Payment Date, and shall be effected only if the related Re-Pricing is effected in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Holder of any Secured Debt, by its acceptance of an interest in the Secured Debt, agrees that the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, may enter into binding commitments to sell and transfer all Debt of a Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders in accordance with this Section 9.7 and, if it is a non-consenting Holder, hereby irrevocably appoints the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, as its true and lawful agent and attorney in fact (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with such sale and transfer, and agrees to sell and transfer its Debt in accordance with this Section 9.7 and to cooperate with the Issuer, the Re-Pricing Intermediary and the Trustee to effect such sale and transfers. The Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, shall deliver written notice to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent and the Collateral Manager not later than five Business Days prior to the proposed Re-Pricing Date confirming that the Issuer has received written commitments to purchase all Debt of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, such Re-Pricing will apply to all the Secured Debt of the Re-Priced Class, including the Debt of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders.

(d) The Issuer shall not effect any proposed Re-Pricing unless: (i) the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have entered into a supplemental indenture (prepared by or on behalf of the Issuer) dated as of the Re-Pricing Date to decrease the spread over the Benchmark or the stated rate of interest, applicable to the Re-Priced Class in accordance with Section 8.1; (ii) the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, has received written commitments to purchase all Debt of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders; (iii) the Rating Agency shall have been notified of such Re-Pricing; (iv) the Issuer has received an opinion of tax counsel of nationally-recognized standing in the United States experienced in such matters to the effect that such Re-Pricing will not (A) result in the Issuer becoming subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to its net income or subject to tax liability under Section 1446 of the Code or (B) result in the Issuer being treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (v) the written consent of the Transferor, the Depositor and the Collateral Manager shall have been obtained; and (vi) all expenses of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent (including the fees of the Re-Pricing Intermediary and fees of counsel) incurred in connection with the Re-Pricing shall not exceed the amount of Interest Proceeds available after taking into account all amounts required to be paid pursuant to the Priority of Payments on the subsequent Payment Date prior to distributions to the holders of the Subordinated Notes, unless such

-201-

expenses shall have been paid (including from proceeds of any additional issuance of Subordinated Notes and any Contribution) or shall be adequately provided for by an entity other than the Issuer.

(e) If notice has been received by the Collateral Agent from the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, confirming that the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, has received written commitments to purchase all Debt of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders, notice of a Re-Pricing shall be provided by the Collateral Agent (at the expense of the Issuer) by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 3 Business Days prior to the proposed Re-Pricing Date, to each Holder of Debt of the Re-Priced Class at the address in the Note Register (with a copy to the Collateral Manager), specifying the applicable Re-Pricing Date and Re-Pricing Rate. Notice of Re-Pricing shall be given by the Collateral Agent at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give a notice of Re-Pricing, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Re-Priced Class shall not impair or affect the validity of the Re-Pricing or give rise to any claim based upon such failure or defect. Any notice of a Re-Pricing may be withdrawn by a Majority of the Subordinated Notes on or prior to the fourth Business Day prior to the scheduled Re-Pricing Date by written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent and the Collateral Manager for any reason. Upon receipt of such notice of withdrawal, the Collateral Agent, at the expense of the Issuer, shall send such notice to the Holders of Debt and the Rating Agency.

(f) The Issuer shall direct the Collateral Agent to segregate payments and take other reasonable steps to effect the Re-Pricing and the Collateral Agent shall have the authority to take such actions as may be directed by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager as the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, or the Collateral Manager shall deem necessary or desirable to effect a Re- Pricing. In order to give effect to the Re-Pricing, the Issuer may, to the extent necessary or desirable, obtain and assign a separate CUSIP or CUSIPs to the Debt of each Class held by such consenting or non-consenting Holder(s). The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the Re-Pricing is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been complied with. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent may request and rely on an Issuer Order providing direction and any additional information requested in order to effect a Re-Pricing and shall have no liability for relying on the same.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall forward notice of any such withdrawal of a Clean-Up Call Redemption, at the expense of the Issuer, to each Holder of Debt that was to be redeemed at such Holder’s address as it appears on the Note Register or Loan Register, as applicable, by overnight courier guaranteeing next day delivery not later than the third Business Day prior to the related scheduled Redemption Date.

No Contribution or any portion thereof will be returned to the Contributor at any time and will not in any event be subsequently applied to any other Permitted Use. Any income earned on amounts on deposit in the Contribution Account will be deposited into the Interest Collection Subaccount as Interest Proceeds.

If, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Issuer shall not have given any such investment directions, the Collateral Agent shall seek instructions from the Collateral Manager within three Business Days after transfer of any funds to such accounts. If the Collateral Agent does not thereafter receive written instructions from the Collateral Manager within five Business Days after transfer of such funds to such accounts, it shall invest and reinvest the funds held in such accounts, as fully as practicable, in the Standby Directed Investment.

Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise herein, all interest and other income from such investments shall be deposited in the Interest Collection Subaccount, any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the Principal Collection Subaccount upon receipt, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Principal Collection Subaccount. The Collateral Agent shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency of such accounts which results from any loss relating to any such investment; provided that nothing herein shall relieve the Collateral Agent of (i) its obligations or liabilities under any security or obligation issued by the Collateral Agent or any Affiliate thereof or (ii) liability for any loss resulting from gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Affiliate thereof.

Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Bank shall have any liability to the Issuer or any other person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid, or retained for payment, to a Governmental Authority from the Accounts arising from the Issuer’s failure to timely provide an accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W-9, applicable IRS Form W-8 or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, no funds shall be invested with respect to such Accounts absent the Collateral Agent having first received (x) instructions with respect to the investment of such funds, and (y) the forms and other documentation required by this paragraph.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency of funds in any Account resulting from any loss relating to any such investment and will not be liable for the selection of investments.

Section 10.12 Section 3(c)(7) Procedures. For so long as any Debt is Outstanding, the Issuer shall do the following:

(a) Notification. Each Monthly Report sent or caused to be sent by the Issuer to the Holders will include a notice to the following effect:

-222-

“The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), requires that all Holders of the outstanding securities of the Issuer that are U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S) be “Qualified Purchasers” (“Qualified Purchasers”) as defined in Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the Investment Company Act and related rules. Under the rules, the Issuer must have a “reasonable belief” that all holders of its outstanding securities that are “U.S. persons” (as defined in Regulation S), including transferees, are Qualified Purchasers. Consequently, all sales and resales of the Notes in the U.S. or to “U.S. persons” (as defined in Regulation S) must be made solely to purchasers that are Qualified Purchasers. Each purchaser of a Note who is a “U.S. person” (as defined in Regulation S) will be deemed (or required, as the case may be) to represent at the time of purchase that: (i) the purchaser is a Qualified Purchaser who is either (x) solely in the case of Notes issued as Certificated Notes, an institutional accredited investor (“IAI”) within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (y) a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“QIB”); (ii) the purchaser is acting for its own account or the account of another Qualified Purchaser and QIB/IAI (as applicable); (iii) the purchaser is not formed for the purpose of investing in the Issuer; (iv) the purchaser, and each account for which it is purchasing, will hold and transfer at least the Minimum Denomination of the Notes specified in this Indenture; (v) the purchaser understands that the Issuer may receive a list of participants holding positions in securities from one or more book-entry depositories; and (vi) the purchaser will provide written notice of the foregoing, and of any applicable restrictions on transfer, to any subsequent transferees. The Notes may only be transferred to another Qualified Purchaser and QIB/IAI (as applicable) and all subsequent transferees are deemed to have made representations (i) through (vi) above.”

“The Issuer directs 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 this Note as indicated on the books of DTC or on the books of a participant in DTC or on the books of an indirect participant for which such participant in DTC acts as agent.”

“The Indenture provides that if, notwithstanding the restrictions on transfer contained therein, the Issuer determines that any “U.S. person” (as defined in Regulation S) who is a holder of, or beneficial owner of an interest in, a Note is determined not to have been a Qualified Purchaser at the time of acquisition of such Note or beneficial interest therein, the Issuer may require, by notice to such Holder or beneficial owner, that such Holder or beneficial owner sell all of its right, title and interest to such Note (or any interest therein) to a Person that is either (x) not a “U.S. person” (as defined in Regulation S) acquiring the Notes in an offshore transaction in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S, or (y) a Qualified Purchaser who is either a QIB or (solely in the case of a Note issued as a Certificated Note) an IAI, with such sale to be effected within 30 days after notice of such sale requirement is given. If such holder or beneficial owner fails to effect the transfer required within such 30-day period, (i) the Issuer or the Collateral Manager acting for the Issuer, without further notice to such holder, shall and is hereby irrevocably authorized by such holder or beneficial owner, to cause its Note, or beneficial interest therein to be transferred in a commercially reasonable sale (conducted by the Collateral Manager in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York as applied to securities that are sold on a recognized market or that may decline speedily in value) to a Person that certifies to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the

-223-

Issuer and the Collateral Manager, in connection with such transfer, that such Person meets the qualifications set forth in clauses (x) and (y) above and (ii) pending such transfer, no further payments will be made in respect of such Note, or beneficial interest therein held by such holder or beneficial owner.”

(b) DTC Actions. The Issuer will direct DTC to take the following steps in connection with the Global Notes:

(i) The Issuer will direct DTC to include the marker “3c7” in the DTC 20-character security descriptor and the 48-character additional descriptor for the Global Notes in order to indicate that sales are limited to Qualified Purchasers.

(ii) The Issuer will direct DTC to cause each physical deliver order ticket that is delivered by DTC to purchasers to contain the 20-character security descriptor. The Issuer will direct DTC to cause each deliver order ticket that is delivered by DTC to purchasers in electronic form to contain a “3c7” indicator and a related user manual for participants. Such user manual will contain a description of the relevant restrictions imposed by Section 3(c)(7).

(iii) On or prior to the ~~Closing~~Refinancing Date, the Issuer will instruct DTC to send a Section 3(c)(7) Notice to all DTC participants in connection with the offering of the Global Notes.

(iv) In addition to the obligations of the Note Registrar set forth in Section 2.5, the Issuer will from time to time (upon the request of the Trustee) make a request to DTC to deliver to the Issuer a list of all DTC participants holding an interest in the Global Notes.

(v) The Issuer will cause each CUSIP number obtained for a Global Note to have a fixed field containing “3c7” and “144A” indicators, as applicable, attached to such CUSIP number.

(c) Bloomberg Screens, Etc. The Issuer will from time to time request all third-party vendors to include on screens maintained by such vendors appropriate legends regarding Rule 144A and Section 3(c)(7) under the Investment Company Act restrictions on the Global Notes. Without limiting the foregoing, the ~~Lead~~ Placement Agent will request that each third-party vendor include the following legends on each screen containing information about the Notes:

(i) Bloomberg.

(A) “Iss’d Under 144A/3c7,” to be stated in the “Note Box” on the bottom of the “Security Display” page describing the Global Notes;

(B) a flashing red indicator stating “See Other Available Information” located on the “Security Display” page;

-224-

(C) a link to an “Additional Security Information” page on such indicator stating that the Global Notes are being offered in reliance on the exception from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 to Persons that are both (i) “Qualified Institutional Buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and (ii) “Qualified Purchasers” as defined under Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act; and

(D) a statement on the “Disclaimer” page for the Global Notes that the Notes will not be and have not been registered under the Securities Act, as amended, that the Issuer has not been registered under the Investment Company Act, and that the Global Notes may only be offered or sold in accordance with Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.

(ii) Reuters.

(A) a “144A – 3c7” notation included in the security name field at the top of the Reuters Instrument Code screen;

(B) a “144A3c7Disclaimer” indicator appearing on the right side of the Reuters Instrument Code screen; and

(C) a link from such “144A3c7Disclaimer” indicator to a disclaimer screen containing the following language: “These Notes may be sold or transferred only to Persons who are both (i) Qualified Institutional Buyers, as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and (ii) Qualified Purchasers, as defined under Section 3(c)(7) under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940.”

Section 10.13 Transparency Requirements. The Issuer hereby agrees that it shall be designated pursuant to Article 7(2) of the Securitization Regulations as the designated entity required to fulfill the EU/UK Transparency Requirements (the “Reporting Entity”). As the Reporting Entity, the Issuer hereby agrees and further covenants that it will make available to the Holders, any potential investors in the Debt (upon request thereby) and the competent authorities (as determined under the Securitization Regulations) (together, the “Relevant Recipients”) the documents, reports and information necessary to fulfill any applicable reporting obligations under the EU/UK Transparency Requirements. The Issuer shall also determine (which determination may be made in consultation with the Collateral Manager) whether any reports, data and other information is necessary or essential in connection with the preparation of any loan level reports, investor reports and any reports in respect of inside information and significant events (such reports, collectively, the “Transparency Reports”). As more fully described in, and subject to, the Collateral Administration Agreement, the Collateral Administrator shall compile the Transparency Reports and provide such reports to the Issuer (or its designee) so that it may be made available by the Issuer in accordance with the Transparency Requirements; provided that the Issuer may make the Transparency Reports available via the website of the Collateral Administrator which shall be accessible to any applicable competent authority and any other person who certifies to the Issuer and the Collateral Administrator (such certification to be in the form set out in the Collateral Administration Agreement) that it is a

-225-

(j) Master Loan Sale Agreements. The Collateral Manager may direct the Collateral Agent to sell any Collateral Obligation at any time when the Issuer is obligated to do so under either Master Loan Sale Agreement.

(k) Material Covenant Default. The Collateral Manager may direct the Collateral Agent at any time without restriction to sell any Collateral Obligation that (i) has had a Material Covenant Default or (ii) becomes subject to a proposed Maturity Amendment; provided the Collateral Manager either would not be permitted to, or would not elect to, recommend that the Issuer, enter into such Maturity Amendment pursuant to the Collateral Manager Standard or any provision of this Indenture or the Collateral Management Agreement.

(l) Stated Maturity. The Collateral Manager may direct the Collateral Agent to sell any Collateral Obligation in order to repay any Class of Secured Debt at its Stated Maturity.

Section 12.2 Purchase of Additional Collateral Obligations.

After the Reinvestment Period, the Collateral Manager shall not direct the Collateral Agent to invest any amounts on behalf of the Issuer; provided that in accordance with Section 12.2(d), Cash on deposit in any Account (other than the Payment Account) may be invested in Eligible Investments following the Reinvestment Period.

(a) Investment Criteria. No obligation may be purchased by the Issuer unless each of the following conditions is satisfied as of the date the Collateral Manager commits on behalf of the Issuer to make such purchase, in each case as determined by the Collateral Manager after giving effect to such purchase and all other sales or purchases previously or simultaneously committed to; provided that the conditions set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) below need only be satisfied with respect to purchases of Collateral Obligations occurring on or after the ~~Effective~~Refinancing Date (the “Investment Criteria”):

-235-

(i) such obligation is a Collateral Obligation;

(ii) each Coverage Test will be satisfied, or if not satisfied, will be maintained or improved;

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

(iv) either (A) each requirement or test, as the case may be, of the Concentration Limitations and the Collateral Quality Test (except, in the case of an additional Collateral Obligation purchased with the proceeds from the sale of a Credit Risk Obligation, a Defaulted Obligation or a Restructured Asset, the S&P CDO Monitor Test) will be satisfied or (B) if any such requirement or test was not satisfied immediately prior to such investment, such requirement or test will be maintained or improved after giving effect to the investment; and

(v) the date on which the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) commits to purchase such Collateral Obligation occurs during the Reinvestment Period.

If the Issuer has entered into a written trade ticket or other written binding commitment to purchase a Collateral Obligation during the Reinvestment Period which purchase is not scheduled to settle prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period (such Collateral Obligation, a “Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligation”), such Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligation shall be treated as having been purchased by the Issuer prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period for purposes of the Investment Criteria, and Principal Xxxxxxxx received after the end of the Reinvestment Period may be applied to the payment of the purchase price of

-236-

such Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligation. Not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the end of the Reinvestment Period, the Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator a schedule of Collateral Obligations purchased by the Issuer with respect to which purchases the trade date has occurred but the settlement date has not yet occurred and shall certify to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator (which certification shall be deemed to be provided upon delivery of such schedule) that sufficient Principal Proceeds are available (including for this purpose, cash on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount as well as any Principal Proceeds expected to be received by the Issuer from the sale of Collateral Obligations for which the trade date has already occurred but the settlement date has not yet occurred) to effect the settlement of such Collateral Obligation.

(b) Trading Plan Period. During the Reinvestment Period, for purposes of calculating compliance with the Investment Criteria, at the election of the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion, any proposed investment (whether a single Collateral Obligation or a group of Collateral Obligations) identified by the Collateral Manager as such at the time when compliance with the Investment Criteria is required to be calculated (a “Trading Plan”) may be evaluated after giving effect to all sales and reinvestments proposed to be entered into within the ten Business Days following the date of determination of such compliance (such period, the “Trading Plan Period”); provided that (1) no Trading Plan may result in the purchase of Collateral Obligations having an Aggregate Principal Balance that exceeds 5% of the Collateral Principal Amount as of the first day of the Trading Plan Period, (2) no Trading Plan Period may include a Determination Date, (3) no more than one Trading Plan may be in effect at any time during a Trading Plan Period and (4) if the Investment Criteria are satisfied prospectively after giving effect to a Trading Plan but are not satisfied upon the expiry of the related Trading Plan Period, the Investment Criteria shall not at any time thereafter be evaluated by giving effect to a Trading Plan. The Collateral Manager shall provide prior written notice to the Rating Agency, the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee of (i) any Trading Plan, which notice shall specify the proposed investments identified by the Collateral Manager for acquisition as part of such Trading Plan and (ii) the occurrence of the event described in clause (4) above. The Collateral Manager will provide notice to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Administrator and the Trustee promptly after a Trading Plan is executed, and the Collateral Agent will post such notice on the Collateral Agent’s website, and the Trustee will report the details of any such Trading Plan provided by the Collateral Manager as part of the Monthly Report pursuant to this Indenture.

(c) Certification by Collateral Manager. Not later than the Cut-Off Date for any Collateral Obligation purchased in accordance with this Section 12.2, the Collateral Manager shall deliver by e-mail or other electronic transmission to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent an Officer’s certificate of the Collateral Manager certifying that such purchase complies with this Section 12.2 and Section 12.4; provided that delivery of any trade ticket or Issuer Order will be deemed to be a certification of its compliance with Section 12.2 and Section 12.4 hereunder.

(d) Investment in Eligible Investments. Cash on deposit in any Account (other than the Payment Account) may be invested at any time in Eligible Investments in accordance with Article X.

-237-

(e) Bankruptcy Exchanges. The Collateral Manager may direct the Collateral Agent to enter into a Bankruptcy Exchange at any time.

Section 12.3 Optional Repurchase or Substitution of Collateral Obligations.

(a) Optional Substitutions.

(i) With respect to any Collateral Obligation as to which a Substitution Event has occurred, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 12.3, the Transferor that sold such Collateral Obligation may (but shall not be obligated to) either (x) convey to the Depositor (and cause the Depositor to contemporaneously convey to the Issuer) one or more Collateral Obligations in exchange for such Collateral Obligation or (y) deposit into the Principal Collection Subaccount the Transfer Deposit Amount with respect to such Collateral Obligation and then, prior to the expiration of the Substitution Period, convey to the Depositor (and cause the Depositor to contemporaneously convey to the Issuer) one or more Collateral Obligations in exchange for the funds so deposited or a portion thereof.

(ii) Any substitution pursuant to this Section 12.3(a) shall be initiated by delivery of written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (and subject to such changes as the Collateral Manager, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may agree) (a “Notice of Substitution”) by the Transferor to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Depositor, the Issuer, and the Collateral Manager that the Transferor intends to substitute a Collateral Obligation pursuant to this Section 12.3(a) and shall be completed prior to the earliest of: (x) the expiration of 90 days after delivery of such notice or (y) in the case of a Collateral Obligation which has become subject to a Specified Amendment, the effective date set forth in such Specified Amendment (such period described in clause (ii)(x) or (y), as applicable, being the “Substitution Period”).

(iii) Each Notice of Substitution shall specify the Collateral Obligation to be substituted, the reasons for such substitution and the Transfer Deposit Amount with respect to the Collateral Obligation. On the last day of any Substitution Period, any amounts previously deposited in accordance with clause (y) of Section 12.3(a)(i) which relate to such Substitution Period that have not been applied to purchase one or more Substitute Collateral Obligations or to fund the Revolver Funding Account if necessary with respect thereto shall be deemed to constitute Principal Proceeds; provided that prior to the expiration of the related Substitution Period any such amounts shall not be deemed to be Principal Proceeds and shall remain in the Principal Collection Subaccount until applied to acquire Substitute Collateral Obligations or to fund the Revolver Funding Account if necessary with respect thereto. To the extent any cash or other property received by the Issuer from the Depositor and by the Depositor from the Transferor in connection with a Substitution Event pursuant to this Section 12.3 exceeds the fair market value of the replaced Collateral Obligation (as determined by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer), such excess shall be deemed a capital contribution from the Transferor to the Depositor and from the Depositor to the Issuer.

-238-

(iv) The substitution of any Substitute Collateral Obligation will be subject to the satisfaction of the Substitute Collateral Obligations Qualification Conditions as of the related Cut-Off Date for each such Collateral Obligation (after giving effect to such substitution).

(b) Repurchases. In addition to the right to substitute for any Collateral Obligations that become subject to a Substitution Event, the Transferor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase from the Depositor and cause the Depositor to repurchase from the Issuer and convey to the Transferor any such Collateral Obligation subject to the Repurchase and Substitution Limit. In the event of such a repurchase, the Transferor shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Transfer Deposit Amount for such Collateral Obligation (or applicable portion thereof) as of the date of such repurchase (and shall provide prior written notice to the Collateral Agent (which may be given by e-mail) at least one Business Day prior to such repurchase, stating the amount of the Transfer Deposit Amount for such Collateral Obligation (or applicable portion thereof) and the date of such repurchase). The Issuer and, at the written direction of the Issuer, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver such instruments, consents or other documents and perform all acts reasonably requested by the Transferor or by the Collateral Manager in order to effect the transfer and release of any of the Issuer’s interests in the Collateral Obligations (together with the Assets related thereto) that are being repurchased and the release thereof from the lien of this Indenture. To the extent any cash or other property received by the Issuer from the Depositor and by the Depositor from the Transferor in connection with such a repurchase exceeds the fair market value of the repurchased Collateral Obligation, such excess shall be deemed a capital contribution from the Transferor to the Depositor and from the Depositor to the Issuer.

(c) Repurchase and Substitution Limit. At all times, (i) the Aggregate Principal Balance of all Collateral Obligations that are Substitute Collateral Obligations plus (ii) the Aggregate Principal Balance related to all Collateral Obligations that have been repurchased by the Transferor pursuant to its right of optional repurchase or substitution and not subsequently applied to purchase a Substitute Collateral Obligation may not exceed an amount equal to 15% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, clause (ii) shall not include (A) the Principal Balance related to any Collateral Obligation that is repurchased by the Transferor in connection with a proposed Specified Amendment to such Collateral Obligation so long as (x) the Transferor certifies in writing to the Collateral Manager, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent that such purchase is, in the commercially reasonable business judgment of the Transferor, necessary or advisable in connection with the restructuring of such Collateral Obligation and such restructuring is expected to result in a Specified Amendment to such Collateral Obligation, and (y) the Collateral Manager certifies in writing to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent that the Collateral Manager either would not be permitted to or would not elect to enter into such Specified Amendment pursuant to the Collateral Manager Standard or any provision of this Indenture or the Collateral Management Agreement, (B) the purchase price of any Collateral Obligations or, for the avoidance of doubt, any Equity Securities sold by and at the option of the Issuer to the Transferor pursuant to Section 12.1(d) or Section 12.1(h) as determined as described in Section 12.1(h)(i), and (C) the Principal Balance related to any Ineligible Collateral Obligation that is repurchased or substituted by the Transferor in connection with a mandatory repurchase or substitution thereof pursuant to either Master Loan Sale Agreement. The foregoing provisions in this paragraph constitute the “Repurchase and Substitution Limit.”

-239-

(d) Third Party Beneficiaries. The Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent agree that the Transferor shall be a third party beneficiary of this Indenture solely for purposes of this Section 12.3, and shall be entitled to rely upon and enforce such provisions of this Section 12.3 to the same extent as if it were a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee) shall have no duty or obligation to discover or make and attempt to discover, inquire about or investigate whether or not a Substitution Event has occurred or the reasons therefor, whether the Substitute Collateral Obligations Qualification Conditions have or have not been satisfied, whether or not the Repurchase and Substitution Limits have been exceeded, whether or not an occurrence of a breach of representation or warranty set forth in Section 4.02 of either Master Loan Sale Agreement has occurred, or whether any such breach materially and adversely affects the value of the Collateral Obligations or interests therein of the Holders or which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders in the related Collateral Obligations in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Collateral Obligation. The Collateral Agent (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee) shall not have any obligation to enforce the repurchase or substitution obligations of the Transferor and shall not otherwise be responsible for overseeing compliance with this Section 12.3 or either Master Loan Sale Agreement.

Section 12.4 Conditions Applicable to All Sale and Purchase Transactions. (a) Any transaction effected under this Article XII or in connection with the acquisition, disposition or substitution of any Asset shall be conducted on an arm’s length basis and, if effected with a Person Affiliated with the Collateral Manager (or with an account or portfolio for which the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates serves as investment adviser), shall be effected in accordance with the requirements of Section 3 of the Collateral Management Agreement on terms no less favorable to the Issuer than would be the case if such Person were not so Affiliated; provided that the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility to oversee compliance with this Section 12.4(a) by the other parties.

(b) Any sale of a Collateral Obligation or an Equity Security to the Collateral Manager, an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager or an Affiliate of the Issuer shall be at fair market value (or as otherwise required in connection with the repurchase or substitution of a Collateral Obligation by the Transferor under the Master Loan Sale Agreement to which the Transferor is a party but in no event for less than fair market value) determined as follows: the Collateral Manager shall obtain either (x) bids for such Collateral Obligation or Equity Security from three unaffiliated loan market participants (or, if the Collateral Manager is unable to obtain bids from three such participants, then such lesser number of unaffiliated loan market participants from which the Collateral Manager can obtain bids using efforts consistent with the Collateral Manager Standard), or (y) if the Collateral Manager is unable to obtain any bids for such Collateral Obligation or Equity Security from an unaffiliated loan market participant, the value determined as the bid side market value of such Collateral Obligation or Equity Security as reasonably determined by the Collateral Manager (so long as the Collateral Manager is a Registered Investment Adviser) consistent with the Collateral Manager Standard and certified by

-240-

the Collateral Manager to the Collateral Agent (the value determined pursuant to the foregoing procedures, the “Applicable Qualified Valuation”) and such Person acquires such Collateral Obligation or Equity Security for a price equal to the value so determined (or, in connection with a repurchase or substitution by the Transferor pursuant to the Master Loan Sale Agreement to which the Transferor is a party at the price required therein but in no event less than fair market value); provided that an aggregate amount of Collateral Obligations not exceeding 15% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance may be sold or otherwise transferred to the Transferor pursuant hereto at a price greater than the Applicable Qualified Valuation, but no greater than the Transfer Deposit Amount with respect to such Collateral Obligation (and to the extent the Transfer Deposit Amount in respect of such Collateral Obligation exceeds the fair market value thereof, such excess shall be deemed to be a capital contribution from the Transferor to the Issuer).

(c) Upon any acquisition of a Collateral Obligation pursuant to this Article XII, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest to the Asset or Assets shall be Granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, such Asset or Assets shall be Delivered to the Custodian, and, if applicable, the Custodian shall receive such Asset or Assets. The Collateral Agent shall also receive, not later than the Cut-Off Date, an Officer’s certificate of the Issuer containing the statements set forth in ~~Section 3.1(g)~~the Delivery Certificate; provided that such requirement shall be satisfied, and such statements shall be deemed to have been made by the Issuer, in respect of such acquisition by the delivery to the Collateral Agent of a trade ticket in respect thereof that is signed or sent by a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XII or in Article V to the contrary, the Issuer shall have the right to effect any sale of any Asset or purchase of any Collateral Obligation and the Transferor has the right to exercise any optional repurchase or substitution rights (1) with the consent of Holders evidencing at least (i) with respect to purchases, optional repurchases or substitutions during the Reinvestment Period and sales during or after the Reinvestment Period, 75% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each Class of Secured Debt and (ii) with respect to purchases, optional repurchases or substitutions after the Reinvestment Period, 100% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each Class of Secured Debt and (2) of which the Rating Agency and the Collateral Agent have been notified.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XII or in Article V to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event, the Issuer shall not have the right to effect any sale of any Asset or purchase of any Collateral Obligation and the Transferor shall not exercise any optional repurchase or substitution rights, in each case, without the consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class.

(f) So long as any Secured Debt remains Outstanding, the Issuer will not purchase any Collateral Obligations that is not an EU/UK Retention Holder Originated Collateral Obligation unless the Acquisition Test is met.

Section 12.5 Acquisition of Restructured Assets. At any time during or after the Reinvestment Period, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, the Issuer may direct that Interest Proceeds, Principal Proceeds or amounts permitted to be used in accordance with the definition of Permitted Use be applied to the purchase or acquisition of Restructured Assets if the Collateral Manager reasonably expects that doing so will result in better overall recovery on

-241-

the related Collateral Obligation, or that failing to do so, would likely preclude, or otherwise limit, the prospects of an overall better recovery on the related Collateral Obligation (in each case, in the Collateral Manager’s commercially reasonable judgment, which judgment shall not be called into question by subsequent events or any determinations made by the Collateral Manager for its other clients or investment vehicles managed by the Collateral Manager); provided that as determined by the Collateral Manager (i) Interest Proceeds may be applied to the acquisition of a Restructured Asset only if such payment would not result in an interest deferral on any Class of Notes on the next following Payment Date and (ii) Principal Proceeds may be applied to the acquisition of a Restructured Asset only if, after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Principal Balance of all Collateral Obligations plus Eligible Investments constituting Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount ~~or the Ramp-Up Account~~ is at least equal to the Reinvestment Target Par Balance (for purposes of which determination, any Defaulted Obligation shall be deemed to have a Principal Balance equal to its S&P Collateral Value), in each case as determined by the Collateral Manager. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the acquisition of Restructured Assets will not be required to satisfy any of the Investment Criteria.

ARTICLE XIII

NOTEHOLDERS’ RELATIONS

Section 13.1 Subordination.

(b) The Holders of each Class of Debt and beneficial owners of each Class of Debt agree, for the benefit of all Holders of each Class of Debt and beneficial owners of each Class of Debt, not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, insolvency or a similar proceeding in the United States or any other jurisdiction against or cause the Issuer or the Co-Issuer to petition for bankruptcy, insolvency or any other similar proceeding in any jurisdiction until the payment in full of all Debt and the expiration of a period equal to one year and one day or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect plus one day, following such payment in full.

ARTICLE XIV

MISCELLANEOUS

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

Any certificate or opinion of an Officer of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel (provided that such counsel is a nationally or internationally recognized and reputable law firm, one or more of the partners of which are admitted to practice before the highest court of any State of the United States or the District of Columbia which law firm may, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be counsel for the Issuer), unless such Officer knows, or should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an 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, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or any other Person (on which the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely), stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or such other Person, unless such Officer of the Issuer, 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 Officer of the Collateral Manager, the Issuer or of the Co-Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such matters is in the possession of the Collateral Manager, the Issuer or of the Co-Issuer, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

-243-

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

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent at the request or direction of either of the Co-Issuers (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf), then notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Co-Issuers’ right to make such request or direction, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such Default or Event of Default as provided in Section 6.1(d) or Section 6.18(d).

The Bank (in any capacity under the Transaction Documents) shall be entitled to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to the Transaction Documents sent by unsecured email, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods. If such person elects to give the Bank email or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Bank in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Bank’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Bank shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Bank’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Any person providing such instructions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Bank, including without limitation the risk of the Bank acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties and acknowledges and agrees that there may be more secure methods of transmitting such instructions than the method(s) selected by it and agrees that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of such instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances.

Section 14.2 Acts of Holders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in 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 or the Collateral Agent, 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 Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Co-Issuers, if made in the manner provided in this Section 14.2.

-244-

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

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

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

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note will have the right to receive access to reports on the Collateral Agent’s website and will be entitled to exercise rights to vote, give consents and directions which holders of the related Class of Notes are entitled to give under this Indenture upon delivery of a beneficial ownership certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto (a “Beneficial Ownership Certificate”) to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent which certifies (i) that such Person is a beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note, (ii) the amount and Class of Notes so owned, and (iii) that such Person will notify the Trustee and the Collateral Agent when it sells all or a portion of its beneficial interest in such Class of Notes. A separate Beneficial Ownership Certificate must be delivered each time any such vote, consent or direction is given; provided that, nothing shall prevent the Trustee or the Collateral Agent from requesting additional information and documentation with respect to any such beneficial owner; provided, further, that the Trustee and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy and currency of each beneficial ownership certificate and shall have no liability for relying thereon.

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

(i) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, or by overnight delivery service (or, in the case of Holders of Global Notes, e-mailed to DTC), to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the Note Register or the Loan Register, as applicable, not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date prescribed for the giving of such notice; and

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

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Subordinated Notes, such notice shall be sufficiently given if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, or by overnight delivery service to Issuer, or by electronic mail transmission, at the Issuer’s address pursuant to Section 14.3 hereof. The Issuer shall forward all notices received pursuant to the preceding sentence to the Holders of Subordinated Notes. Any notice required to be provided to the Class A-1 Lenders may be provided to the Loan Agent on their behalf.

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (i) of this Section 14.4(a), a Holder may give the Trustee or the Collateral Agent a written notice in a form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent that it is requesting that notices to it be given by electronic mail and stating the electronic mail address for such transmission.

The Trustee and the Collateral Agent may require the requesting Holders to comply with its standard verification policies in order to confirm Holder status. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for such disclosure or, subject to its duties herein, the accuracy thereof.

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

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

Section 14.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE ISSUER, THE CO-ISSUER, THE HOLDERS, THE TRUSTEE AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE DEBT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

From and after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Manager shall continue to perform and be bound by the provisions of the Collateral Management Agreement and this Indenture applicable thereto.

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

(a)	With respect to any Collateral Obligation (other than a DIP Collateral Obligation):

(i) if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has a corporate family rating by Moody’s, then such corporate family rating;

(ii) if not determined pursuant to clause (i) above, if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has one or more senior unsecured obligations publicly rated by Moody’s, then the Xxxxx’x public rating on any such obligation as selected by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion;

(iii) if not determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has one or more senior secured obligations publicly rated by Moody’s, then the Xxxxx’x public rating on any such obligation as selected by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion notched down by one notch;

(iv) if not determined pursuant to clause (i), (ii), or (iii) above, the Xxxxx’x Derived Rating; and

(v) if not determined pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) above, then “Caa3”; and

(b)	with respect to a DIP Collateral Obligation, the rating which is one subcategory below the facility rating (whether public or private) of such DIP Collateral Obligation rated by Xxxxx’x.

XXXXX’X RATING

(i) With respect to a Collateral Obligation that (A) is publicly rated by Xxxxx’x, such public rating, or (B) is not publicly rated by Xxxxx’x but for which a rating or rating estimate has been assigned by Moody’s, upon the request of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, such rating or, in the case of a rating estimate, the applicable rating estimate for such obligation;

(ii) with respect to a Collateral Obligation that is a Senior Secured Loan or Participation Interest in a Senior Secured Loan, if not determined pursuant to clause (i) above, if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has a corporate family rating by Moody’s, then such corporate family rating notched up by one notch;

(iii) with respect to a Collateral Obligation, if not determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has one or more senior unsecured obligations publicly rated by Xxxxx’x, then the Xxxxx’x public rating on any such obligation (or, if such Collateral Obligation is a Senior Secured Loan, the Xxxxx’x rating that is two notches higher than the Xxxxx’x public rating on any such senior unsecured obligation) as selected by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion;

S-4-1

(iv) with respect to a Collateral Obligation other than a Senior Secured Loan or Participation Interest in a Senior Secured Loan (if not determined pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above) if the obligor of such Collateral Obligation has one or more senior unsecured obligations publicly rated by Moody’s, then the Xxxxx’x Rating on any such obligation;

(v) with respect to a Collateral Obligation other than a Senior Secured Loan or Participation Interest in a Senior Secured Loan (if not determined pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above), if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has a corporate family rating by Moody’s, then such corporate family rating notched down by one notch;

(vi) with respect to a Collateral Obligation other than a Senior Secured Loan or Participation Interest in a Senior Secured Loan (if not determined pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above), if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has one or more subordinated obligations publicly rated by Moody’s, then the Xxxxx’x public rating on any such obligation notched up by one notch as selected by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion;

(vii) with respect to a Collateral Obligation, if not determined pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) above, the Xxxxx’x Derived Rating; and

(viii) with respect to a Collateral Obligation, if not determined pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (vii) above, then “Caa3.”

For purposes of the definitions of “Xxxxx’x Default Probability Rating,” “Xxxxx’x Derived Rating” and “Xxxxx’x Rating,” any credit estimate assigned by Xxxxx’x shall expire one year from the date such estimate was issued; provided that, for purposes of any calculation under this Indenture, if Xxxxx’x fails to renew for any reason a credit estimate for a previously acquired Collateral Obligation thereunder on or before such one-year anniversary (which may be extended at Xxxxx’x option to the extent the annual audited financial statements for the Obligor have not yet been received), after the Issuer or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf has submitted to Xxxxx’x all information that the Issuer or the Collateral Manager believed in good faith was required to provide such renewal, (1) the Issuer for a period of 60 days will continue using the previous credit estimate assigned by Xxxxx’x with respect to such Collateral Obligation until such time as Xxxxx’x renews the credit estimate for such Collateral Obligation, (2) after 60 days until the earlier to occur of the 90th day or such time as Xxxxx’x renews the credit estimate for such Collateral Obligation the Collateral Obligation will be treated as having been downgraded by one rating subcategory, (3) after 90 days until the earlier to occur of the 120th day or such time as Xxxxx’x renews the credit estimate for such Collateral Obligation the Collateral Obligation will be deemed to have a Xxxxx’x rating of “Caa1”, and (4) after 120 days but before Xxxxx’x renews the credit estimate for such Collateral Obligation, the Collateral Obligation will be deemed to have a Xxxxx’x rating of “Caa3.”

S-4-2

XXXXX’X DERIVED RATING

With respect to a Collateral Obligation whose Xxxxx’x Rating or Xxxxx’x Default Probability Rating cannot otherwise be determined pursuant to the definitions thereof, such Xxxxx’x Rating or Xxxxx’x Default Probability Rating shall be determined as set forth below.

(i) By using any one of the methods provided below:

(A) pursuant to the following table:


Obligation Category of Rated Obligation	Rating by S&P (Public and Monitored)	Collateral Obligation Rated by S&P	Number of Sub-categories Relative to Xxxxx’x Equivalent of Rating by S&P
Not Structured Finance Obligation	greater than or equal to BBB-	Not a Loan or Participation Interest in Loan	-1

Not Structured Finance Obligation	less than BB+	Not a Loan or Participation Interest in Loan	-2

Not Structured Finance Obligation		Loan or Participation Interest in Loan	-2

(B) if such Collateral Obligation is not rated by S&P but another security or obligation of the Obligor has a public and monitored rating by S&P (a “parallel security”), then the rating of such parallel security will at the election of the Collateral Manager be determined in accordance with the table set forth in subclause (i)(A) above, and the Xxxxx’x Rating or Xxxxx’x Default Probability Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be determined by treating the parallel security as if it were rated by Moody’s at the rating determined pursuant to this subclause (i)(B) and adjusting the rating of the related Xxxxx’x rated obligations of the related Obligor by the number of rating subcategories according to the table below:


Obligation Category of Rated Obligation	Rating of Rated Obligation	Number of Subcategories Relative to Rated Obligation Rating
Senior secured obligation	greater than or equal to B2	-1

Senior secured obligation	less than B2	-2

Subordinated obligation	greater than or equal to B3	+1

Subordinated obligation	less than B3	0

(ii) If such Collateral Obligation is not rated by Xxxxx’x and no other security or obligation of the issuer of such Collateral Obligation is rated by Moody’s, the rating will be the rating estimate determined by Moody’s and, if one has not been provided but Moody’s has been requested by the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the

S-4-3

issuer of such Collateral Obligation to assign a rating or rating estimate with respect to such Collateral Obligation but such rating or rating estimate has not been received, pending receipt of such estimate, the Xxxxx’x Rating or Xxxxx’x Default Probability Rating of such Collateral Obligation shall be (x) “B3” if the Collateral Manager certifies to the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator that the Collateral Manager believes that such estimate will be at least “B3” and if the Aggregate Principal Balance of Collateral Obligations determined pursuant to this clause (x) does not exceed 15% of the Collateral Principal Amount of all Collateral Obligations, (y) if not determined pursuant to clause (x), “Caa1” if the Aggregate Principal Balance of Collateral Obligations determined pursuant to this clause (y) does not exceed 15% of the Collateral Principal Amount of all Collateral Obligations, and (z) in either case, if such rating or rating estimate has not been received within fifteen months of the request to Xxxxx’x, “Caa3.”

(iii) If not determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then “Caa3.”

Solely for the purpose of determining the S&P Recovery Rate for such obligation, the aggregate principal balance of all Unsecured Loans, First Lien Last-Out Loans, Second Lien Loans and Senior Secured Bonds that, in the aggregate, represent up to 15% of the Collateral Principal Amount shall have the S&P Recovery Rate specified for Unsecured Loans, First Lien Last-Out Loans, Second Lien Loans and Senior Secured Bonds in the table above and the aggregate principal balance of all Unsecured Loans, First Lien Last-Out Loans, Second Lien Loans and Senior Secured Bonds in excess of 15% of the Collateral Principal Amount shall have the S&P Recovery Rate specified for subordinated loans in the table above.

****	In each case, or such other countries identified as such by S&P in a press release, written criteria or other public announcement from time to time or as may be notified by S&P to the Investment Manager from time to time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining the S&P Recovery Rate of a Collateral Obligation that is a Senior Secured Loan (including any Cov-Lite Loan) or a Senior Secured Bond secured solely or primarily by common stock or other equity interest, such Collateral Obligation shall be deemed to be an Unsecured Loan.

For purposes of calculating compliance with the Collateral Quality Test, DIP Collateral Obligations will be treated as having an S&P Recovery Rate equal to the S&P Recovery Rate for Senior Secured Loans.

The applicable weighted average spread will be the spread between 4.00% and 8.00% (in increments of .01%) without exceeding the Weighted Average Floating Spread (determined for purposes of this definition as if all Discount Obligations instead constituted Collateral Obligations that are not Discount Obligations) as of such Measurement Date.

“S&P CDO Monitor Adjusted BDR”: The rate equal to:

BDR multiplied by (OP divided by NP) plus (NP minus OP) divided by (NP multiplied by (1 minus WARR)),

where


Term		Meaning
BDR		S&P CDO Monitor BDR

OP		Target Initial Par Amount

NP		the sum of the Collateral Principal Amount and the S&P Collateral Value of all Defaulted Obligations and any decrease in the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the most senior Class then Outstanding during the Reinvestment Period

WARR		Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate

“S&P CDO Monitor BDR”: As of any date of determination, the rate equal to the sum of (A) ~~0.213575~~0.092305, (B) the product of (x) ~~2.942961~~2.838463 and (y) the Weighted Average Floating Spread and (C) the product of (x) ~~1.138979~~1.265387 and (y) the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate.

“S&P CDO Monitor SDR”: The rate equal to:

0.247621 plus (SPWARF divided by 9162.65) minus (DRD divided by 16757.2) minus (ODM divided by 7677.8) minus (IDM divided by 2177.56) minus (RDM divided by 34.0948) plus (WAL divided by 27.3896),

where


Term		Meaning
SPWARF		S&P Weighted Average Rating Factor

DRD		Default Rate Dispersion

ODM		Obligor Diversity Measure

IDM		Industry Diversity Measure

RDM		Regional Diversity Measure

WAL		S&P Weighted Average Life

“Default Rate Dispersion”: As of any date of determination, the number equal to (a) the sum of the products calculated with respect to each Collateral Obligation with an S&P Rating of “CCC-” or higher by multiplying (i) the absolute value of (x) the S&P Rating Factor of such Collateral Obligation minus (y) the S&P Weighted Average Rating Factor and (ii) the

S-6-1

Principal Balance at such time of such Collateral Obligation and (b) dividing such sum by the aggregate Principal Balance on such date of all Collateral Obligations with an S&P Rating of “CCC-” or higher.

“Highest Ranking Class”: The Outstanding Class of Secured Debt rated by S&P (other than the Class A-1 Debt) that ranks higher in right of payment than each other Class of Secured Debt rated by S&P in accordance with the Debt Payment Priority.

“Industry Diversity Measure”: As of any date of determination, the number equal to (A) the reciprocal of (B) the sum of the squares, determined with respect to each S&P Industry Classification, of (i) the Principal Balance of each Collateral Obligation with an S&P Rating of “CCC-” or higher, the Obligor of which is categorized in such S&P Industry Classification, divided by (ii) the aggregate Principal Balance on such date of all Collateral Obligations with an S&P Rating of “CCC-” or higher.

“Obligor Diversity Measure”: As of any date of determination, the number equal to (A) the reciprocal of (B) the sum of the squares, determined with respect to each Obligor, of (i) the Principal Balance of each Collateral Obligation of such Obligor with an S&P Rating of “CCC-” or higher divided by (ii) the aggregate Principal Balance on such date of all Collateral Obligations with an S&P Rating of “CCC-” or higher.

“Regional Diversity Measure”: As of any date of determination, the number equal to (A) the reciprocal of (B) the sum of the squares, determined with respect to each S&P Region Classification, of (i) the Principal Balance of each Collateral Obligation with an S&P Rating of “CCC-” or higher, the Obligor of which is categorized in such S&P Region Classification, divided by (ii) the aggregate Principal Balance on such date of all Collateral Obligations with an S&P Rating of “CCC-” or higher.

“S&P Weighted Average Life”: As of any date of determination, the number equal to (A) the sum of the products, determined with respect to each Collateral Obligation with an S&P Rating of “CCC-” or higher, of (i) the number of years (rounded to the nearest one-hundredth thereof) from such date of determination to the stated maturity of such Collateral Obligation multiplied by (ii) the Principal Balance of such Collateral Obligation, divided by (B) the aggregate Principal Balance on such date of all Collateral Obligations with an S&P Rating of “CCC-” or higher.

“S&P Weighted Average Rating Factor”: As of any date of determination, the number equal to (A) the sum of the products, determined with respect to each Collateral Obligation with an S&P Rating of “CCC-” or higher, of (i) the S&P Rating Factor of such Collateral Obligation multiplied by (ii) the Principal Balance of such Collateral Obligation divided by (B) the aggregate Principal Balance on such date of all Collateral Obligations with an S&P Rating of “CCC-” or higher.

Silver Point SCF CLO IIV, Ltd. (“Issuer”) and Silver Point SCF CLO IIV, LLC (“Co-Issuer” and, together with the Issuer, the “Co-Issuers”); Class [D][Subordinated] Notes due ~~2032~~2036

This letter relates to U.S.$ Aggregate Outstanding Amount of Class [D][Subordinated] Notes (the “Notes”), in the form of one or more Certificated Notes [to be purchased by (the “Purchaser”)] [to effect the transfer of the Notes to (the “Transferee”)].

In addition, the [Purchaser/Transferee] hereby represents, warrants and covenants for the benefit of the Co-Issuers and their counsel as follows:

1. The Purchaser/Transferee agrees to treat the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Notes as described in the “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” section of the Offering Circular for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes and will take no action inconsistent with such treatment unless required by law.

G-1

2. The Purchaser/Transferee will timely furnish the Issuer, the Trustee or their respective agents with any tax forms or certifications (including, without limitation, IRS Form W-9, an applicable IRS Form W-8 (together with all applicable attachments), or any successors to such IRS forms) that the Issuer, the Trustee or their respective agents reasonably request in order to (A) make payments to the beneficial owner without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding, (B) qualify for a reduced rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which they receive payments, and (C) satisfy reporting and other obligations under the Code, Treasury Regulations, or any other applicable law or regulation (including the Cayman FATCA Legislation and the CRS), and will update or replace such tax forms or certifications in accordance with their terms or subsequent amendments. Such beneficial owner acknowledges that the failure to provide, update or replace any such tax forms or certifications may result in the imposition of withholding or back-up withholding on payments to the beneficial owner, or to the Issuer. Amounts withheld by the Issuer or their agents that are, in their sole judgment, required to be withheld pursuant to applicable tax laws will be treated as having been paid to such beneficial owner by the Issuer.

3. The Purchaser/Transferee will provide the Issuer or its agents with any correct, complete and accurate information or documentation that may be required for the Issuer to comply with FATCA, the Cayman FATCA Legislation and the CRS and to prevent the imposition of U.S. federal withholding tax under FATCA on payments to or for the benefit of the Issuer. Such beneficial owner acknowledges that, in the event such Purchaser/Transferee fails to provide such information or documentation for the purposes of FATCA, or to the extent that its ownership of Notes would otherwise cause the Issuer to be subject to any tax under FATCA, (A) the Issuer (and any agent acting on its behalf) is authorized to withhold amounts otherwise distributable to the investor as compensation for any amounts withheld from payments to or for the benefit of the Issuer as a result of such failure or such ownership, and (B) to the extent necessary to avoid an adverse effect on the Issuer as a result of such failure or such ownership, the Issuer will have the right to compel the investor to sell its Notes and, if such person does not sell its Notes within 10 Business Days after notice from the Issuer or its agents, the Issuer will have the right to sell such Notes at a public or private sale called and conducted in any manner permitted by law, and to remit the net proceeds of such sale (taking into account, in addition to other related costs and charges, any taxes incurred by the Issuer in connection with such sale) to such person as payment in full for such Notes. The Issuer may also assign each such Note a separate securities identifier in the Issuer’s sole discretion. The Purchaser/Transferee agrees that the Issuer, the Trustee and/or their agents or representatives may (1) provide any information and documentation concerning its investment in its Notes to the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority, the IRS and any other relevant tax or regulatory authority and (2) take such other steps as they deem necessary or helpful to ensure that the Issuer complies with FATCA, the Cayman FATCA Legislation and the CRS.

G-2

4. If it is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), such Purchaser/Transferee:

(i) is:

(B) not a “10 percent shareholder” with respect to the holder or any beneficial owners of the Subordinated Notes within the meaning of section 871(h)(3) or section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code; and

(C) not a “controlled foreign corporation” that is related to the holder or any beneficial owners of the Subordinated Notes within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code;

(iii) is eligible for benefits under an income tax treaty with the United States that eliminates U.S. federal income taxation of payments on the Notes.

5. The Purchaser/Transferee will provide the Issuer and the Trustee with certifications necessary to establish that it is not subject to withholding tax under FATCA.

6. The Purchaser/Transferee represents that it is not a member of an “expanded group” (as defined in Treasury Regulations section 1.385-1(c)(4)) with respect to which a beneficial owner of Subordinated Notes is a “covered member” (as defined in Treasury Regulations section 1.385-1(c)(2)), except to the extent that the Issuer or its agents have provided such beneficial owner with an express waiver of this representation.

7. In the case of a Purchaser/Transferee of Equity Notes, such Purchaser/Transferee and beneficial owner of an Equity Note, by acceptance of such Equity Note or a beneficial interest therein, represents, acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) it is a “United States person,” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code;

G-3

system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations by identified brokers or dealers ((x), (y) and (z), collectively, an “Exchange”) or (B) cause any Equity Notes or any interests therein to be marketed on or through an Exchange;

Any Transfer made in violation of this provision will be void and of no force or effect, and will not bind or be recognized by the Issuer or any other person, and no person to which such Notes are transferred will become a Purchaser/Transferee nor any transfer of beneficial interest recognized unless such person agrees to be bound by this provision. However, notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, a Transfer in violation of subparagraphs (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), will be permitted if the Issuer receives advice of Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP or Freshfields Bruckhaus Xxxxxxxx US LLP, or an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel experienced in such matters, to the effect that the Transfer will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

8. It is not a member of the public in the Cayman Islands.

9. It agrees to provide the Issuer and its agents with all documentation and information required for the Issuer to achieve AML Compliance, and to update or replace such documentation and information promptly, as necessary.

11. It agrees not to seek to commence or join in respect of the Issuer, or cause the Issuer to commence, a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding before a year and a day has elapsed since the payment in full of all Debt or, if longer, the applicable preference period (plus one day) then in effect.

12. It acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Issuer arising from time to time and at any time under the Indenture, the Transaction Documents and the Debt are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer payable solely from the Assets available at such time in accordance with the Indenture, and following realization of such Assets in accordance with the Indenture, all claims of Noteholders shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive.

13. ~~11.~~ Prior to the transfer of an Equity Note, it will cause the transferee to execute this letter and deliver it to the Trustee. Each Purchaser/Transferee agrees any sale, transfer, assignment, participation, pledge, or other disposition of such Note (or any interest therein) will be void and of no force or effect unless the transferee executes this letter and delivers it to the Trustee.
