If a successor Note Registrar does not take office within 30 days after the outgoing Note Registrar resigns or is removed, the outgoing Note Registrar may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Note Registrar.

At all times during the term of this Base Indenture, there shall be maintained at the office of the Note Registrar a Note Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Note Registrar may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided (or as set forth in any Series Indenture Supplement with respect to the transfer and registration or de-registration of any Uncertificated Note). The Co-Issuers and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Note Register or to obtain a copy thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively thereon as to the information set forth in the Note Register.

Upon written request of any Noteholder of record made for purposes of communicating with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Base Indenture (which request must be accompanied by a copy of the communication that the Noteholder proposes to transmit), the Note Registrar, within 30 days after the receipt of such request, must afford the requesting Noteholder access during normal business hours to, or deliver to the requesting Noteholder a copy of, the most recent list of Noteholders held by the Note Registrar. Every Noteholder, by receiving such access, agrees with the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee that neither the Note Registrar nor the Indenture Trustee will be held accountable in any way by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of any Noteholder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

(b) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Tax Restricted Note or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is otherwise made in accordance with Section 2.02(k) and, if such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is to be made to a Benefit Plan Investor or Management Affiliate, the Co-Issuers or their agent has provided its written consent to such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition.

Except as otherwise provided in a Series Indenture Supplement for a Series of Variable Funding Notes, if a transfer of any Note that constitutes a Definitive Note (or Uncertificated Note) is to be made (or Uncertificated Notes registered) without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Notes or a transfer of a Book-Entry Note to a successor Depositary as contemplated by Section 2.03(c)), then such

transfer will not be registered by the Note Registrar unless it receives: (i) a certification from such Noteholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 and a certification from such Noteholder substantially as Exhibit B-2; or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Manager or the Note Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such Noteholder’s prospective Transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is based.

The transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Class of a Series of Variable Funding Notes shall be subject to the terms of the Series Indenture Supplement for such Series and the applicable Variable Funding Note Purchase Agreement.

If a transfer of any interest in a Global Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Book-Entry Notes), then the Holder is deemed to represent to the Co-Issuers and the Indenture Trustee that it is both a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser and is acquiring a Global Note (or interest therein) for its own account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others are both Qualified Institutional Buyers and Qualified Purchasers). Except as provided in the following two paragraphs, no interest in a Global Note for any Class of Book-Entry Notes shall be transferred to any Person who takes delivery other than in the form of an interest in such Global Note.

None of the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall be obligated to register or qualify any Class of Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Base Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note or interest therein without registration or qualification. Any Noteholder or Note Owner desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or interest therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Obligors, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers, the Indenture Trustee, the Manager and the Note Registrar against any liability that may result if such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is not exempt from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

(c) No transfer of any Note or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan or to any Person who is directly or indirectly acquiring such Note on behalf of, as fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with the assets of, a Plan, except in each such case, in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 2.02(c). Any attempted or purported transfer of a Note in violation of this Section 2.02(c) will be null and void and vest no rights in any purported Transferee.

The Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of a Note that constitutes a Definitive Note (or Uncertificated Note) or the transfer of an interest in a Book-Entry Note that following such purported transfer will constitute a Definitive Note unless the Note Registrar has received from the prospective Transferee a certification that either (i) such prospective Transferee is not a Plan or any person who is acquiring or holding such Note or any interest therein on behalf of, as fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of, any Plan, or (ii) such

acquisition and holding by such Transferee of such Note or any interest therein will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation of any applicable Similar Law.

It is hereby acknowledged that either of the form of certification attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 is acceptable for purposes of the preceding sentence. If a transfer of any interest in a Note is to be made and is permitted without delivering to the Note Registrar a certification as provided in this Section 2.02(c), the prospective Transferee of such Note, by its acquisition of such Note (or an interest therein), shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) it is not acquiring such Note or any interest therein with the assets of any Plan or (ii) such acquisition and holding of such Note or any interest therein by such Transferee of such Note or any interest therein will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation of any applicable Similar Law.

(d) If a Person is acquiring a Note as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to deliver to the Note Registrar a certification to the effect that, and such other evidence as may be reasonably required by the Note Registrar to confirm that, it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the applicable foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications or agreements with respect to each such account as set forth in subsections (b), (c), (d) or (k), as appropriate, of this Section 2.02.

(e) Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 2.02, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose (or as set forth in any Series Indenture Supplement with respect to the transfer and registration or de-registration of any Uncertificated Note), one or more new Notes of authorized denominations of the same Class and Series evidencing a like aggregate Percentage Interest (except in the case of Uncertificated Notes) shall be executed, authenticated and delivered, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(ii).

(f) At the option of any Noteholder, its Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of authorized denominations of the same Class and Series evidencing a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender (or de-registration) of the Notes to be exchanged at the offices of the Note Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange (or de-registration), the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive shall be executed, authenticated and delivered (or registered in the case of Uncertificated Notes) in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(ii).

(g) Every Note (other than Uncertificated Notes) presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange (or de-registration) shall (if so required by the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to, the Note Registrar duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or its 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 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.

(h) No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange (or de-registration) of Notes, but the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange (or de-registration) of Notes.

(i) All Notes surrendered for transfer and exchange (other than Uncertificated Notes) shall be physically canceled by the Note Registrar, and the Note Registrar shall dispose of such canceled Notes in accordance with its standard procedures.

(j) The Note Registrar shall provide to each of the other parties hereto, upon reasonable written request and at the expense of the requesting party, an updated copy of the Note Register.

(k) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any beneficial interest in any Tax Restricted Note may be transferred (directly or indirectly) only if (i) the Transferor of such beneficial interest notifies the Note Registrar in writing of its intention to Transfer such beneficial interest and (ii) such notice (1) identifies the Transferee, (2) contains a transfer certificate executed by the Transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3, (3) contains any other information reasonably requested by the Note Registrar and (4) is delivered to the Co-Issuers, the Note Registrar and the independent public accountants of the Co-Issuers. The Note Registrar may conclusively rely on (i) any such notice, certificate and information and shall have no duty to make further inquiry, including any duty to inquire whether a holder holds for the account of one or more other persons and (ii) information provided to it by the Initial Purchasers on the Closing Date with respect to the Holders and Beneficial Owners on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no transfer of any beneficial interest in any Tax Restricted Note of a Series shall be permitted if such transfer would (i) result in there being collectively more than the number of Persons specified in the applicable Series Indenture Supplement that may be beneficial holders of Tax Restricted Notes or (ii) cause the Co-Issuers’ underlying assets to be deemed to be “plan assets” of “benefit plan investors” within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations. Any purported sales or Transfers of any beneficial interest in a Tax Restricted Note to a Transferee which does not comply with the requirements of this paragraph shall be null and void ab initio.

(l) [Reserved].

(m) Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Base Indenture or under applicable law with respect to the transfer of any Note (and registration or de-registration of any Uncertificated Note) or the transfer of any interest in any Book-Entry Note other than to require delivery of the certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Base Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance on their face to the express requirements of this Base Indenture. In connection with the transfer of any Note or the transfer of any interest in any Book-Entry Note pursuant to this Base Indenture, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar shall be under no duty to inquire into the validity, legality and due authorization of such transfer pursuant to this Base Indenture.

Section 2.03. Book-Entry Notes.

(a) Each Class and Series of Term Notes shall initially be issued as one or more Notes registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and, except as provided in Section 2.03(c), transfer of such Notes may not be registered by the Note Registrar unless such transfer is to a successor Depositary that agrees to hold such Notes for the respective Note Owners with Ownership Interests therein. Such Note Owners shall hold and, subject to Sections 2.02(b), 2.02(c) and 2.02(k), transfer their respective ownership interests in and to such Notes through the book-entry facilities of the Depositary and, except as provided in Section 2.03(c), shall not be entitled to Definitive Notes in respect of such ownership interests. Term Notes of each Class and Series of Notes initially sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall be represented by the Global Note for such Class and Series, which shall be deposited with the DTC Custodian for the Depositary and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depositary. All transfers by Note Owners of their respective ownership interests in the Book-Entry Notes shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the DTC Participant or brokerage firm representing each such Note Owner. Each DTC Participant shall only transfer the ownership interests in the Book-Entry Notes of Note Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depositary’s normal procedures.

(b) The Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar shall for all purposes, including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Notes, deal with the Depositary as the authorized representative of the Note Owners with respect to such Notes for the purposes of exercising the rights of Noteholders hereunder. The rights of Note Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Notes shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the DTC Participants and indirect participating brokerage firms representing such Note Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depositary as holder of the Book-Entry Notes with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Note Owners. The Indenture Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Noteholders and shall give notice to the Depositary of such record date.

(c) Notes initially issued in the form of Book-Entry Notes will thereafter be issued as Definitive Notes to applicable Note Owners or their nominees, rather than to DTC or its nominee, only if the Co-Issuers advise the Indenture Trustee in writing that DTC is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depositary with respect to such Notes and the Co-Issuers are unable to locate a qualified successor. Upon the occurrence of the event described in the preceding sentence, the Indenture Trustee will be required to notify, in accordance with DTC’s procedures, all DTC Participants (as identified in a listing of DTC Participant accounts to which each Class of Global Notes is credited) through DTC of the availability of such Definitive Notes. Upon surrender by DTC of the Global Notes, together with instructions for re-registration, the Indenture Trustee or other designated party will be required to issue to the Note Owners identified in such instructions the Definitive Notes to which they are entitled, and thereafter the holders of such Definitive Notes will be recognized as Noteholders under the Indenture.

(d) None of the Obligors, the Guarantors, the Manager, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or the Initial Purchasers will have any responsibility for the performance by

DTC or its direct or indirect DTC Participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Section 2.04. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar, or the Note Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual written notice to the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of the same Class and Series and of like Percentage Interest shall be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(ii) (or registered in accordance with Section 2.01(a), in the case of an Uncertificated Note). Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.04, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Note issued (or registered in the case of Uncertificated Notes) pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership of such Note, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Note shall be found at any time. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the preceding sentence, a protected purchaser (within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the New York UCC) of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Co-Issuers and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser, 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 or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

Section 2.05. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Note (or any transfer or de-registration of Uncertificated Notes) is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments pursuant to Article V and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.06. Certification by Note Owners.

(a) Each Note Owner is hereby deemed, by virtue of its acquisition of an ownership interest in the Book-Entry Notes, to agree to comply with the transfer requirements of Section 2.02(c) and, if applicable, Section 2.02(k).

(b) To the extent that under the terms of this Base Indenture it is necessary to determine whether any Person is a Note Owner, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on a certificate of such Person which will specify, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture

Trustee, the Class, the Series and the Note Principal Balance of the Global Note beneficially owned by such Person.

Section 2.07. Notes Issuable in Series.

The Notes of the Co-Issuers may be issued in one or more Series. Any series of Variable Funding Notes may be uncertificated if provided for in its Series Indenture Supplement. Each Series shall be issued pursuant to a Series Indenture Supplement (it being understood that a single Series Indenture Supplement may provide for more than one Series). There shall be established in one or more Series Indenture Supplements, prior to the issuance of Notes of any Series:

(i) the title of the Notes of such Series (which shall distinguish the Notes of such Series from Notes of other Series) and whether such Notes will be Variable Funding Notes or Term Notes;

(ii) any limit upon the aggregate principal balance of the Notes of such Series that may be authenticated and delivered (other than with respect to Uncertificated Notes, which may be registered) under this Base Indenture (except for Notes authenticated and delivered (or with respect to Uncertificated Notes, registered) upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes of such Series pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 2.04);

(iii) the rate or rates at which the Notes of such Series shall bear interest, if any, or the method by which such rate shall be determined, the date or dates from which such interest shall accrue, the interest payment dates on which such interest shall be payable and the record dates for the determination of Holders to whom interest is payable (in each case to the extent such items are not specified herein or if specified herein to the extent such items are modified by such Series Indenture Supplement);

(iv) what action by the Co-Issuers are necessary to satisfy the condition of obtaining or delivering a Rating Agency Confirmation hereunder from the applicable Rating Agencies (including, if applicable, any notice related information for such Rating Agencies);

(v) whether such Series is a Series of Variable Funding Notes;

(vi) whether the Notes of such Series are Uncertificated Notes, Book-Entry notes or Definitive Notes;

(vii) if such Series includes the issuance of Tax Restricted Notes, the maximum number of beneficial holders of Tax Restricted Notes of such Series for purposes of Section 2.02(k); and

(viii) any other terms of such Series (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Base Indenture except to the extent that such Series Indenture Supplement also constitutes an amendment of this Base Indenture pursuant to Article XIII).

The Notes of a Series may have more than one settlement or issue date. The Notes of each Series will be assigned to one or more Classes and, with respect to any Series of Notes issued after the date hereof, shall satisfy the requirements of Section 2.12(c) as of the date of issuance.

The Co-Issuers agree that they will not designate, for any Series and Class of Notes that are Tax Restricted Notes, a maximum number of beneficial holders for such Series and Class of Tax Restricted Notes that would cause the aggregate maximum number of beneficial holders and beneficial owners for all Series and Classes of Tax Restricted Notes then Outstanding, collectively with the aggregate number of beneficial holders of any other interests in the Co-Issuers that are or may be treated as equity of the Co-Issuers for U.S. federal income purposes, as determined for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h), to exceed 90. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall be under any obligation to monitor the number of beneficial holders for any Series or Class of Notes that are Tax Restricted Notes.

Section 2.08. Principal Amortization. Prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date for a Series of Notes, unless prior thereto (i) an Amortization Period commences and is continuing, (ii) the maturity of such Series of Notes is accelerated following the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, (iii) a Class A LTV Condition occurs, (iv) an Expense Cash Flow Sweep Period exists (v) the conditions to release of funds to the Co-Issuers from the Escrow Account are not satisfied or (vi) with respect to the Series 2021-1 Variable Funding Notes, if any Series of Notes is subject to an ARD Period, and except as otherwise provided in Section 2.09, Section 7.06., Section 7.29 or the Series Indenture Supplement for such Series, no principal shall be required to be paid with respect to such Series. The Class Principal Balance of each Class of Notes, to the extent not earlier paid, shall be due and payable in its entirety on the Rated Final Payment Date for such Class.

Section 2.09. Prepayments.

(a) The Co-Issuers may, at their option, prepay the Notes of any Series in whole or in part, either in connection with the sale, assignment or other disposition of Collateral pursuant to Section 7.29 or without disposing of Collateral, on any date; provided that (i) the Co-Issuers shall have provided at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of such prepayment to the Indenture Trustee (who shall forward such notice to the Noteholders) and (ii) such prepayment is accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being prepaid through the date of such prepayment and any applicable Prepayment Consideration if such prepayment occurs prior to the ARD Prepayment Date with respect to such Series; provided that payment of any Prepayment Consideration shall be subject to Section 2.09(d). On the date of any prepayment in connection with which Prepayment Consideration is payable, the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent, at the direction of the Manager, shall pay such Prepayment Consideration received in respect of any Class or Series of Notes to the Holders of the corresponding Class or Series of Notes pro rata based on the amount prepaid on each such Note. Such prepayment shall be subject in all respects to the applicable requirements of the Depositary in connection with any prepayment and the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for the failure or delay of any such prepayments due to lack of compliance (other than, subject to timely receipt of any information or documents required for its compliance, by the

Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent) with the applicable requirements of or any other policies and procedures of the Depositary or any other act or omission of the Depositary.

(b) In connection with each sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of one or more Portfolio Company Equity Interests or Managed Fund LP Interests (or the Equity Interests of any Asset Entity that holds only Portfolio Company Equity Interests or Managed Fund LP Interests) pursuant to Section 7.29, the Co-Issuers shall prepay the Notes in an amount such that the pro forma Class A LTV immediately following such disposition and such prepayment is less than or equal to thirty-five percent (35%). With respect to any such prepayment in connection with a disposition of Collateral, the Co-Issuers shall first repay the principal amount of any Class A-1 Notes on a pro rata basis, and then shall repay the principal of any Term Notes in alphabetical order, starting with the Class A-2 Notes, on a pro rata basis.

(c) Optional partial prepayments made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 2.09 shall be applied to the Classes of all Notes of all Series in direct order of alphabetical designation (and amounts so allocated to the Class A Notes shall be further allocated among the numerical Classes of Class A Notes in accordance with the Applicable Class A Payment Priority); provided that (x) optional prepayments may be directed by the Co-Issuers to be applied to Notes of a particular Series in direct order of alphabetical designation (and amounts so allocated to the Class A Notes shall be further allocated among the numerical Classes of Class A Notes in accordance with the Applicable Class A Payment Priority) and (y) optional prepayments of the Class A Notes which do not prepay the Class A Notes in full, may be directed at the discretion of the Co-Issuers either to the Class A-1 Notes or the Class A-2 Notes.

(d) Except as provided in the Series Indenture Supplement with respect to a Series of Notes, Prepayment Consideration shall not be payable in connection with (i) any prepayments of any Variable Funding Notes, (ii) other than in connection with a disposition of any Collateral, any prepayment of any Series of Notes after the applicable Anticipated Repayment Date, (iii) any optional prepayments made with funds on deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve Account, (iv) prepayments during an Amortization Period or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (v) the payment of any Class A LTV Sweep Amount or a mandatory prepayment made during an Expense Cash Flow Sweep Period or (vi) any prepayment made with funds on deposit in the Escrow Account. Any Prepayment Consideration due shall be paid in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 5.01(a). Prepayment Consideration that is not paid when due if funds are not available to make such payment pursuant to Section 5.01(a) shall not bear interest.

Section 2.10. Post-ARD Additional Interest. Additional interest (“Post-ARD Additional Interest”) shall begin to accrue from and after the respective Anticipated Repayment Dates with respect to each Class of Notes on the Note Principal Balance thereof at a per annum rate (each, a “Post-ARD Additional Interest Rate”) equal to (x) in the case of a Series of Variable Funding Notes, 5% per annum and (y) in the case of a Series of Term Notes, the rate determined by the Manager as of the applicable Anticipated Repayment Date to be the greater of (i) 5% per annum and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the sum of the following exceeds the Note Rate for such Note: (A) the yield to maturity (adjusted to a “mortgage equivalent basis” pursuant to the standards and practices of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association) on the Anticipated Repayment Date for such Note of the United States Treasury Security having a term

closest to ten (10) years, plus (B) 5%, plus (C) the Post-ARD Note Spread applicable to such Note. The Post-ARD Additional Interest accrued for any Note shall not be payable on any Payment Date until all required payments in respect of the Note Principal Balance of all Notes have been made. The Manager shall provide written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the Post-ARD Additional Interest Rate. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be obligated to recalculate or verify the Post-ARD Additional Interest Rate. Prior to such time, the Post ARD Additional Interest shall be deferred and added to any Post ARD Additional Interest previously deferred and remaining unpaid (the “Deferred Post-ARD Additional Interest”). Deferred Post-ARD Additional Interest shall not bear interest.

Section 2.11. Defeasance.

(a) The Co-Issuers may at any time prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date of any outstanding Series of Term Notes, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Indenture Trustee (such Payment Date, the “Defeasance Payment Date”), obtain the release from all covenants of this Base Indenture relating to ownership and operation of the Collateral by delivering United States government securities providing for payments that replicate the required payments with respect to the Term Notes then outstanding on each Payment Date, including, Indenture Trustee Fees, if any, through the first Payment Date, for the applicable Notes of each such Series, on which such Term Notes could be prepaid without payment of any Prepayment Consideration (including payment in full of the principal of such Notes on such Payment Date); provided, that all Variable Funding Notes have been paid in full and the Class A-1 Commitment Amount of all Variable Funding Notes has been irrevocably reduced to zero; provided, further, that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) the Co-Issuers shall pay or deliver on the date of such defeasance (the “Defeasance Date”) (a) all interest accrued and unpaid on the Outstanding Class Principal Balance of each Class of Notes to but not including the Defeasance Date (and, if the Defeasance Date is not a Payment Date, the interest that would have accrued to but not including the next Payment Date), (b) all other sums then due under each Class of Notes and all other Transaction Documents executed in connection therewith, including any costs incurred in connection with such defeasance, and (c) U.S. government securities providing for payments equal to the Scheduled Defeasance Payments; and (iii) receipt of a Ratings Agency Confirmation. In addition, the Co-Issuers shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee (1) a security agreement granting the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders a first priority perfected security interest in the U.S. government securities so delivered by the Co-Issuers, (2) an Opinion of Counsel as to the enforceability and perfection of such security interest and (3) a confirmation by an Independent certified public accounting firm that the U.S. government securities so delivered are sufficient to pay all interest due from time to time after the Defeasance Date (or if the Defeasance Date is not a Payment Date, due after the next Payment Date) and all principal due upon maturity for each Class of Notes, and all Indenture Trustee Fees. The Co-Issuers, pursuant to the security agreement described above, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from the U.S. government securities shall be made directly to the Indenture Trustee and applied to satisfy the obligations of the Co-Issuers under the Notes and the other Transaction Documents.

(b) If the Asset Entities will continue to own any material assets other than the U.S. government securities delivered in connection with the defeasance, the Co-Issuers shall

establish or designate a special-purpose bankruptcy-remote successor entity acceptable to the Indenture Trustee (acting solely at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), with respect to which a substantive non-consolidation Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee (acting solely at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) has been delivered to the Indenture Trustee and to transfer to that entity the pledged U.S. government securities. The new entity shall assume the obligations of the Co-Issuers under the Notes being defeased and the security agreement and the Obligors and the Guarantors shall be relieved of their obligations in respect thereof under the Transaction Documents. The Co-Issuers shall pay Ten Dollars ($10) to such new entity as consideration for assuming such obligations.

Prior to an Amortization Period, an ARD Period or the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes occurring following the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, if the Cash Trap Percentage is reduced from 100% to 50% in accordance with the definition thereof, 50% of the funds deposited into the Cash Trap Reserve Account during the immediately preceding period for which the Cash Trap Percentage was 100% shall be released to the Co-Issuers.

Neither the Holders of any Class of Notes nor any party hereto shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of any other Class of Notes in respect of amounts previously paid on the Notes in accordance with this Base Indenture.

(g) Except as otherwise provided herein, if a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee receives written notice that the final payment with respect to any Class of Notes will be made on the next Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall, as promptly as possible thereafter, make available to each Holder of such Class of Notes of record on such date a notice to the effect that:

(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Notes from and after the end of the Interest Accrual Period for such Payment Date.

Any funds not paid to any Holder or Holders of Notes of such Class on such Payment Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Notes shall, on such date, be set aside and credited to, and shall be held uninvested in trust for, the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Notes as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 5.01(g) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Indenture Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Noteholders to surrender their Notes for cancellation in order to receive the final payment with respect thereto. If within one (1) year after the second notice all such Notes shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, then the remaining amount due shall be discharged from the trust under this Base Indenture and the Indenture Trustee shall return the remaining amount due and payable on such Notes to, or at the direction of, the Co-Issuers upon receipt of an Issuer Request, and the Holder of the Notes due such remaining amount, as an unsecured general creditor, shall look only to the Co-Issuers for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Co-Issuers), and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Noteholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Noteholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any former Holder on any amount held in trust pursuant to this paragraph. If any Notes as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 5.01(g), shall not have been surrendered for cancellation by the second anniversary of the delivery of the second notice, then, subject to applicable escheat laws, the Indenture Trustee shall distribute to the Co-Issuers all unclaimed funds and all liability of the Indenture Trustee with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease.

(h) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Co-Issuers’ payment to a Noteholder, such withholding tax shall reduce the amount otherwise payable to the Noteholder in accordance with this Section 5.01. The Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent are hereby authorized and entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments under this Indenture and the Notes to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law. The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Noteholder shall be treated as an amount paid to such Noteholder at the time it is withheld by the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent, and the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, shall timely remit such amount withheld to the appropriate taxing authority. The Co-Issuers hereby covenant with the Indenture Trustee that the Co-Issuers will provide the Indenture Trustee with sufficient information so as to enable the Indenture Trustee to determine whether or not the Indenture Trustee is obliged to make any withholding in respect of any payments with respect to a Note (and if applicable, to provide the necessary detailed information to effectuate any withholding such as setting forth applicable amounts to be withheld). The parties agree that the Indenture Trustee shall be released of any liability relating to its actions and compliance under this Section 5.01 and applicable law. Upon request from the Indenture Trustee or Paying Agent, the Co-Issuers will provide such additional information that they may have to assist the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent in making any withholdings or informational reports. The Co-Issuers agree that they will provide to the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent copies of any Noteholder Tax Identification Information received by the Co-Issuers from any Noteholder or Note Owner.

(i) If Additional Notes of a Class are issued that bear interest at a floating rate, for the purposes of all of the allocations provided for in this Section 5.01, such Notes shall be treated as having the same alphabetical designation as the fixed rate Notes of such Class.

Section 5.02. Payments of Principal.

(a) In accordance with the applicable Monthly Report, the Principal Payment Amount on each Payment Date shall be allocated to the Class of Notes with the highest alphabetical designation (without regard to Series designation) until such Class has been paid in full (and amounts so allocated to the Class A Notes shall be further allocated among the numerical Classes of Class A Notes in accordance with the Applicable Class A Payment Priority) and any remaining amount shall be allocated to the remaining outstanding Notes in direct order of alphabetical designation until all such Notes have been paid in full.

(b) Commencing on the first Payment Date to occur on or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Period or on or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in accordance with the applicable Monthly Report, all Excess Cash Flow on deposit in the Debt Service Account shall be applied to the payment of the Note Principal Balance of the Notes of each Class as provided under Section 5.01(b).

(c) Commencing on the Anticipated Repayment Date for any Series of outstanding Variable Funding Notes or Term Notes, in accordance with the applicable Monthly Report, all Excess Cash Flow on deposit in the Debt Service Account shall be applied (i) first, to the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Notes of each Class of Variable Funding Notes and (ii) second, to the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Notes of each Class of Term Notes of such Series of Notes and each other Series of Notes that has not been paid in full prior to its Anticipated Repayment Date as provided under Section 5.01(b).

Subject to the Applicable Class A Payment Priority, all payments made with respect to interest in respect of each Class of Notes bearing the same alphabetical designation shall be allocated pro rata based on the amounts then due in respect of such Notes, excluding Post-ARD Additional Interest.

Section 5.04. No Gross Up. The Co-Issuers shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Holders or the holders of beneficial interests in the Notes as a result of any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to deduct FATCA Withholding Tax, and shall have no obligation to gross-up any payment hereunder or to pay any additional amount as a result of such FATCA Withholding Tax. Nothing in the immediately preceding sentence shall be construed as obligating the Obligors to make any “gross up” payment or similar reimbursement in connection with a payment in respect of which amounts are so withheld or deducted. Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by its acceptance of a Note or, in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, agrees to provide and, upon request, shall provide to the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent and/or the Co-Issuers (or other person responsible for withholding of taxes) the Noteholder Tax Identification Information. Further, each Noteholder and Note Owner is deemed to understand, acknowledge and agree that the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Co-Issuers have the right to withhold on payments with respect to a Note (without any corresponding gross-up) where an applicable party fails to comply with the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence or the Indenture Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Co-Issuers are otherwise required to so withhold under applicable law. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, the term ‘applicable law’ for purposes of this Section 5.04 includes U.S. federal tax law and FATCA.

Section 5.05. Money for Payments to be Held in Trust.

(b) On each Payment Date (or such other dates as may be required or permitted hereunder) the Paying Agent shall cause all payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes and other Obligations that are to be made from amounts in the Collection Account to be made on behalf of the Co-Issuers by the Paying Agent, and no such amounts shall be paid over to the Co-Issuers other than as expressly set forth herein, including in accordance with Section 5.01(b). All such payments shall be made based on the information set forth in the Monthly Report.

Section 10.05. Controlling Class Representative.

(a) The Noteholders (or, in the case of Book-Entry Notes, the Note Owners) of the Controlling Class whose Notes represent more than 50% of the related Outstanding Class Principal Balance shall be entitled in accordance with the terms hereof to select a representative (the “Controlling Class Representative”) having the rights and powers specified in this Base Indenture (including those specified in Section 10.06) or to replace an existing Controlling Class Representative); provided that no Affiliate of the Obligors may act as Controlling Class Representative; provided, further that if at any time no Controlling Class Representative is serving in place, then the “Controlling Class Representative” for all purposes shall be deemed to be represented by a vote of the Majority Noteholders and all notices for the Controlling Class Representative will be posted on the Indenture Trustee’s website. Upon (i) the receipt by the Indenture Trustee of written requests for the selection of a Controlling Class Representative from the Noteholders (or, in the case of Book-Entry Notes, the Note Owners) of Notes representing more than 50% of the Outstanding Class Principal Balance of the Controlling Class, (ii) the resignation or removal of the Person acting as Controlling Class Representative or (iii) receipt by

the Indenture Trustee of a notice from the Manager that the Controlling Class has changed, the Indenture Trustee (each such event, a “CCR Re-Election Event”) shall deliver a written notice to the Controlling Class Members (with a copy to the Co-Issuers) in the form of Exhibit J announcing an election of, and soliciting nominations of candidates for, the Controlling Class Representative (a “CCR Election Notice”). The Indenture Trustee shall deliver the written notice with respect to (i) Book-Entry Notes through the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary with respect to Book-Entry Notes and (ii) with respect to the Definitive Notes, to the extent provided, to the registered address of any Holders of Definitive Notes. In addition, the Indenture Trustee shall post the written notice on its password protected website at xxxx://xxx.xx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx. The Manager shall provide written notice to the Indenture Trustee upon the occurrence of any change in the Controlling Class and shall confirm same upon written request from the Indenture Trustee.

Each Controlling Class Member shall be allowed to nominate itself as a candidate for Controlling Class Representative (a “CCR Candidate”) (and shall not be permitted to nominate any other Person as a CCR Candidate) by submitting its nomination directly to the Indenture Trustee in writing in the form attached as Exhibit K hereto (a “CCR Nomination”) within the period specified in the CCR Election Notice, which shall be five (5) Business Days from the date thereof (the “CCR Nomination Period”). Each Controlling Class Member nominating a CCR Candidate shall also be required to represent and warrant that, as of the date not more than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the CCR Election Notice (i) it was the Beneficial Owner or Noteholder, as applicable, of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of Notes of the Controlling Class specified in its CCR Nomination and (ii) the CCR Candidate is a Controlling Class Member. CCR Nominations may be submitted by Controlling Class Members to the Indenture Trustee in pdf format via email at the email address for such purpose set forth in the CCR Election Notice, and no originals or medallion signature guarantees shall be required, and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, CCR Nominations submitted in such manner. Each nomination shall include a contact for the CCR Candidate that will be available to answer any questions raised by a Noteholder or Beneficial Owner. Such contact information shall be posted on the Indenture Trustee’s website. For any nomination to be valid, the CCR Nomination must be delivered to the Indenture Trustee within the CCR Nomination Period. Unless all outstanding Notes are held by Affiliates of the Asset Entities, Notes held by Affiliates of the Asset Entities shall be disregarded when determining the Controlling Class, and no affiliate of the Co-Issuers may act as Controlling Class Representative. The Manager shall provide written notice to the Indenture Trustee upon the occurrence of any change in the Controlling Class and shall confirm same upon written request from the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to determine or confirm which Class of Notes is the Controlling Class nor to confirm the authority of the Controlling Class Representative once identified to it in writing by the Manager.

(b) Based upon the CCR Nominations that are received by the Indenture Trustee by the last day of the CCR Nomination Period, (i) if no CCR Nomination has been received by the Indenture Trustee and there is no Controlling Class Representative, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver a Notice Regarding the CCR Election in the form of Exhibit L (a “Notice Regarding CCR Election”) to the Co-Issuers, the Manager and the Controlling Class Members that no CCR Nominations have been received and that no CCR Election shall be held, (ii) if one

or more CCR Nominations has been received by the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall prepare and send to each applicable Controlling Class Member a ballot in the form of Exhibit M attached hereto (the “CCR Ballot”) naming the top three candidates based upon the highest aggregate Note Principal Balance of Notes of Controlling Class Members nominating such candidate (or, if fewer than three (3) candidates are nominated, the CCR Ballot shall list all candidates), or (iii) if no CCR Nomination has been received by the Indenture Trustee and there is a Controlling Class Representative at such time, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver a Notice Regarding the CCR Election the Co-Issuers, the Manager and the Controlling Class Members stating that no CCR Election shall be held and that the Person then Person serving as the Controlling Class Representative shall be deemed re-elected and shall continue to serve as the Controlling Class Representative; provided that, for such nomination purposes, with respect to each Series of Class A 1 Notes Outstanding, the Class A 1 Notes Voting Amount shall be used in place of the Note Principal Balance of such Notes. Each Controlling Class Member may, in its sole discretion, indicate its vote for a CCR Candidate in an election for a Controlling Class Representative (a “CCR Election”) by returning a completed CCR Ballot directly to the Indenture Trustee within five (5) Business Days of the date of the CCR Ballot (a “CCR Election Period”), certifying that, as of the date of the CCR Ballot (the “CCR Voting Record Date”), it was the owner or beneficial owner of the Note Principal Balance of Notes of the Controlling Class specified by such Controlling Class Member in the CCR Ballot, and including a notarization or medallion signature guarantee. CCR Ballots may be submitted by Controlling Class Members to the Indenture Trustee in pdf format via email at the email address for such purpose set forth in the CCR Ballots.

(c) At the end of the CCR Election Period, the Indenture Trustee will tabulate the votes; provided that, for purposes of such tabulation of votes pursuant to this Section 10.05(c), with respect to each Series of Class A-1 Notes Outstanding, the Class A-1 Notes Voting Amount shall be used in place of the Note Principal Balance of such Series. If both (i) the CCR Voting Amount is greater than or equal to the CCR Quorum Amount and (ii) a CCR Candidate receives votes representing in excess of 50% of the CCR Voting Amount, such CCR Candidate will be elected the Controlling Class Representative. “CCR Quorum Amount” means 50% of the sum of (x) the Note Principal Balance (with respect to any Notes of the Controlling Class other than Class A-1 Notes) and (y) the Class A-1 Notes Voting Amount of the Notes of the Controlling Class as of the CCR Voting Record Date. “CCR Voting Amount” means (i) the Class A-1 Notes Voting Amount with respect to each Series of Class A-1 Notes of the Controlling Class and (ii) the Note Principal Balance of each Series of Notes of the Controlling Class (other than Class A-1 Notes) or any beneficial interest therein, in each case, that are Outstanding as of the CCR Voting Record Date and, in each case, with respect to which votes were submitted). Notes of the Controlling Class held by the Master Issuer or any Affiliate of the Master Issuer shall not be considered Outstanding for such voting purposes. If two CCR Candidates both receive votes from Controlling Class Members owning (or owning any beneficial interest) exactly 50% of the CCR Voting Amount, the Co Issuers (or the Manager on their behalf pursuant to the Management Agreement) shall select the Controlling Class Representative from among such CCR Candidates receiving votes from Controlling Class Members owning (or owning any beneficial interest) exactly 50% of the CCR Voting Amount. If either (i) no CCR Candidate receives votes representing at least 50% of the CCR Voting Amount or (ii) votes are submitted by less than the CCR Quorum Amount, the Indenture Trustee

shall notify the Co-Issuers, the Manager and the Controlling Class Members that a Controlling Class Representative will not be elected and until a CCR Re-election Event occurs and a Controlling Class Representative is elected or selected pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 10.05 (i) the Majority Noteholders shall exercise the rights of the Controlling Class Representative and (ii) any deliverable or notice that is required to be provided to the Controlling Class Representative under a Transaction Document shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee’s internet website.

(d) If a CCR Candidate is elected, or chosen pursuant to Section 10.05(c), the Indenture Trustee shall forward an acceptance letter in the form of Exhibit N attached hereto (a “CCR Acceptance Letter”) to the elected CCR Candidate for execution, pursuant to which the elected CCR Candidate shall (i) agree to act as the Controlling Class Representative, (ii) provide its name and contact information and permit such information to be shared with the Co-Issuers, the Manager and the Controlling Class Members and (iii) represent and warrant that it is a Controlling Class Member. No elected CCR Candidate shall be appointed Controlling Class Representative unless such Person delivers a CCR Acceptance Letter to the Indenture Trustee within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt thereof.

(e) Within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the CCR Acceptance Letter, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly forward copies thereof, or provide the new Controlling Class Representative’s name and address, to the Co-Issuers, the Manager and the Controlling Class Members.

(f) The prior Controlling Class Representative (if any) shall cease to be the Controlling Class Representative at the end of any CCR Election Period following a CCR Re-election Event (so long as a CCR Election is held at such time) unless it is re-elected as Controlling Class Representative after such CCR Election Period as described above, even if no candidate is elected as a successor Controlling Class Representative at the end of such CCR Election Period.

(g) The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in all actions taken or not taken by it with respect to, (i) the email information provided by any Class A-1 Administrative Agent and the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary (and the registered address of any Holders of Definitive Notes) for delivery of the CCR Election Notices and the CCR Ballots to Note Owners of Notes of the Controlling Class and (ii) the representations and warranties of the Persons submitting CCR Nominations, CCR Ballots and CCR Acceptance Letters.

(h) Any and all expenses of the Controlling Class Representative shall be borne by the Noteholders (or, if applicable, the Note Owners) of Notes of the Controlling Class, pro rata according to their respective Percentage Interests in such Class.

Section 10.06. Limitation on Liability of Controlling Class Representative.

Each Noteholder and Note Owner acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Notes or interests therein, that the Controlling Class Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of holders and Note Owners of one or more Classes of Notes, that the Controlling Class Representative may act solely in the interests of the Noteholders and Note Owners of the Controlling Class, that the Controlling Class Representative does not have any duties to the Noteholders and Note Owners of any Class of Notes other than

the Controlling Class, that the Controlling Class Representative may take actions that favor the interests of the Noteholders and Note Owners of the Controlling Class over the interests of the Noteholders and Note Owners of one or more other Classes of Notes, that the Controlling Class Representative shall not be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Controlling Class and that the Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Noteholder may take any action whatsoever against the Controlling Class Representative for having so acted or against any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.02, upon acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, the Co-Issuers shall pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for the aggregate Outstanding Class Principal Balance of all Classes of Notes and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, with interest upon the overdue principal and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the relevant Notes and in addition thereto all other Obligations, including such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, indemnities and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel and other amounts due and owing to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 11.05.

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Majority Noteholders.

It is understood and intended that no one or more Noteholders shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Noteholders or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Noteholders or to enforce any right under this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, except in the manner provided in this Base Indenture.

In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders, each representing less than a majority of the aggregate Outstanding Class Principal Balance of all Classes of Notes, no action shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 10.10, the Indenture Trustee shall not take any action or permit any action to be taken that is inconsistent with Section 15.18.

Section 10.11. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest.

Section 10.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided herein, no right or remedy conferred in this Base Indenture, in any Indenture Supplement or in any other Transaction Document upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder, in any Indenture Supplement or in any other Transaction Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, in any Indenture Supplement, or in any other Transaction Document or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 10.14. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article X or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 10.02 as may be modified by any Indenture Supplement, the Majority Noteholders may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except (i) a Default (a) in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that cannot be amended, supplemented or modified without the consent of each Noteholder and (ii) before any such waiver may be effective, the Indenture Trustee must receive any reimbursement then due or payable in respect of any amounts then due to the Indenture Trustee hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents (including all unpaid fees, expenses, and indemnification due to the Indenture Trustee hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 10.16. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant (other than the Co-Issuers) in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, against any party litigant (other than the Co-Issuers) in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant (other than the Co-Issuers); but the provisions of this Section 10.16 as may be modified by any Indenture Supplement shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, representing more than 10% of the aggregate Outstanding Class Principal Balance of all Classes of Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of any Note or interest on any Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement.

Section 10.17. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Each Co-Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Base Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any Transaction Document; and each Co-Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted in this Base Indenture to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 10.18. Action on Notes. The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Base Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any Transaction Document shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Base Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any Transaction Document. No rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Co-Issuers or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate or upon any of the Assets of the Co-Issuers.

Section 10.19. Waiver. Each Co-Issuer hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind in connection with this Base Indenture or the Collateral. Each Co-Issuer acknowledges and agrees that ten days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or any other intended disposition thereof shall be reasonable and sufficient notice to the Co-Issuers within the meaning of the UCC (to the extent that the UCC is applicable).

THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

Section 11.01. Duties of Indenture Trustee.

(a) The Indenture Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has Knowledge and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Base Indenture. If an Event of Default, an Amortization Period, Class A LTV Condition, an Expense Cash Flow Sweep Period or a Manager Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has Knowledge occurs and is continuing (except in the case of the receipt of directions with respect to such matter from the Controlling Class Representative or the Majority Noteholders in accordance with the terms of this Base Indenture or another Transaction Document in which event the Indenture Trustee’s sole obligation will be to await such direction and act or refrain from acting in accordance therewith), the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Base Indenture, any Indenture Supplement and any other Transaction Document, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in connection with any action or inaction taken, or not taken, by it upon the deemed occurrence of an Event of Default, an Amortization Period, Class A LTV Condition, Expense Cash Flow Sweep Period or a Manager Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer has not received written notice; provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in connection with any action or inaction due to the acts or failure to act of the Controlling Class Representative in connection with any Event of Default, Amortization Period, Class A LTV Condition, Expense Cash Flow Sweep Period or a Manager Termination Event or for acting or failing to act due to any direction or lack of direction from the Manager, the Controlling Class Representative or such Noteholders. Any permissive right of the Indenture Trustee contained in this Base Indenture, any Indenture Supplement and any other Transaction Document shall not be construed as a duty. The Indenture Trustee shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the respective obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Indenture Trustee.

(b) Upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Base Indenture, any Indenture Supplement and any other Transaction Document, the Indenture Trustee shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Base Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document. If any such instrument is found not to conform on its face to the requirements of this Base Indenture, any Indenture Supplement, or any other Transaction Document in a material manner, the Indenture Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors, the Asset Entities, the Manager, any actual or prospective Noteholder or Note Owner or any Rating Agency, and accepted by the Indenture Trustee in good faith, pursuant to this Base

Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for recomputing, recalculating or verifying any information provided by the Manager pertaining to any report, distribution statement or Officer’s Certificate.

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

(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has Knowledge, and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Indenture Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Base Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement against the Indenture Trustee.

(ii) In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Base Indenture and any Indenture Supplement.

(iii) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith at the direction of the Manager, the Co-Issuers, the Controlling Class Representative and/or the Majority Noteholders under circumstances in which such direction is required or permitted by the terms of this Base Indenture, any other Transaction Document or applicable law, including relating to the time, method and place for conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee under this Base Indenture or any other circumstances in which such direction is required or permitted by the terms of this Base Indenture.

(iv) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Indenture Trustee unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

(vi) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by the Indenture Trustee, in good faith in accordance with this Base Indenture or the direction of the Controlling Class Representative or the Noteholders entitled to at least 25% (or, as to any particular matter, any higher percentage as may be specifically provided for hereunder) of the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture

Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Base Indenture.

(vii) The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any event, Event of Default, Amortization Period, Class A LTV Condition, Expense Cash Flow Sweep Condition, Manager Termination Event or other information hereunder or under any other Transaction Document unless either (1) a Responsible Officer shall have Knowledge of such event, Event of Default or other information or (2) written notice of such event, Event of Default or other information referring to the Notes, this Base Indenture and any Indenture Supplement shall have been received by a Responsible Officer in accordance with the provisions of this Base Indenture and any Indenture Supplement. In the absence of receipt of such Knowledge or written notice, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively assume that no event or Event of Default shall have occurred and have no duty to otherwise determine whether such event or Event of Default shall have occurred.

(viii) Subject to the other provisions of this Base Indenture, and without limiting the generality of this Section 11.01, the Indenture Trustee shall not have any duty, except as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, (A) to cause any recording, filing, or depositing of this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement or any agreement referred to herein or therein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to cause the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to or cause the maintenance of any insurance, (C) to confirm or verify the truth, accuracy or contents of any reports, resolutions, certificates, statements, instruments, opinions, notices, requests, consents, orders, approvals or other documentation of the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors, the Asset Entities, the Manager, any Noteholder or Note Owner or any Rating Agency, delivered to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Base Indenture reasonably believed by the Indenture Trustee to be genuine, absent manifest error, and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties (provided, however, the Indenture Trustee may, upon direction of the Majority Noteholders, make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Indenture Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Co-Issuers and any Asset Entity personally or by agent or attorney), and (D) to see to the payment of any assessment or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Collateral other than from funds available in the Collection Account (provided, that such assessment, charge, lien or encumbrance did not arise out of the Indenture Trustee’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence). Neither the Indenture Trustee nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents will be responsible or liable for the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any of the Collateral, for the legality, enforceability, effectiveness or sufficiency of the Transaction Documents for the creation, perfection, continuation, priority, sufficiency or protection of any of the liens, or for any defect or deficiency as to any such matters, or for monitoring the status of any lien or performance of any of the Collateral. The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the

Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Indenture Trustee, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of the Indenture or the other Transaction Documents by the Co-Issuers or any other Person.

(ix) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Base Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents, no provision of this Base Indenture or the other Transaction Documents shall require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or exercises of its rights or powers hereunder, if it has reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate security or indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it by the terms of the Indenture or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. The Indenture Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any risk, loss, liability or expense

(x) The rights, protections, immunities and indemnities given to the Indenture Trustee hereunder are extended to and shall be enforceable by Citibank, N.A., in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(d) The Co-Issuers and the Asset Entities hereby authorize the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right but not the obligation, to file such financing statements as the Co-Issuers shall deem reasonably necessary to perfect the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the Obligor Collateral and file continuation statements to match such perfection; provided, however, that such designation shall not be deemed to create any duty in the Indenture Trustee to file any such financing statements or monitor the compliance of the Co-Issuers or the Manager with the foregoing covenants and the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any defects that exist in the financing statements, continuation statements or other instruments, documents, certificates or agreements; and provided, further, that the authority of the Indenture Trustee to execute, or authorize the filing of, any financing statement, continuation statement, instrument, document, certificate or agreement required pursuant to this Section 14.01(d) shall not require the Indenture Trustee to pay any fees, taxes (other than with respect to its net income) or other governmental charges, (ii) shall not require the Indenture Trustee to prepare or file any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument, document, certificate or agreement required pursuant to this Base Indenture or any other Transaction Documents and (iii) shall not require the Indenture Trustee to review any financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument, document, certificate or agreement required pursuant to this Base Indenture. The Co-Issuers shall cooperate with the Indenture Trustee and provide to the Indenture Trustee any information, documents or instruments with respect to such financing statement, continuation statement or other instrument that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require. The Co-Issuers and the Asset Entities authorize the Indenture Trustee to use the collateral description “all assets” or similar variation in any such financing statements. The Co-Issuers and the Asset Entities hereby ratify and authorize the filing (i) by the Co-Issuers of any financing statement and (ii) by the Indenture Trustee of any continuation statement, in each case with respect to the Obligor Collateral made prior to the date hereof. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee shall have all rights and remedies pertaining to the Obligor Collateral as are provided for in any of the Transaction Documents or under any applicable law including the Indenture Trustee’s rights of enforcement with respect to the Obligor Collateral or any part thereof, exercising its rights of enforcement with respect to the Obligor Collateral or any part thereof under the UCC (or under the Uniform Commercial Code in force in any other state to the extent the same is applicable law) and in conjunction with, in addition to, or in substitution for, such rights and remedies of the following:

(i) The Indenture Trustee may enter upon the premises of an Obligor to take
possession of, assemble and collect the Obligor Collateral or to render it unusable.

(ii) The Indenture Trustee may require an Obligor to assemble the Other
Obligor Collateral and make it available at a place the Indenture Trustee designates which is mutually convenient to allow the Indenture Trustee to take possession or dispose of the Obligor Collateral.

(iii) To the extent a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has Knowledge thereof, written notice mailed to the Co-Issuers as provided herein at least ten

110

days prior to the date of public sale of the Obligor Collateral or prior to the date after which private sale of the Obligor Collateral will be made shall constitute reasonable notice.

(iv) In the event of a foreclosure sale, the Obligor Collateral and the
other Collateral may, at the option of the Indenture Trustee (acting at the direction of Noteholders), be sold as a whole.

(v) It shall not be necessary that the Indenture Trustee take possession of the
Obligor Collateral or any part thereof prior to the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this section is conducted and it shall not be necessary that the Obligor Collateral or any part thereof be present at the location of such sale.

(vi) Prior to application of proceeds of disposition of the Other Obligor
Collateral to the Obligations, such proceeds shall be applied to the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing and the like and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee.

(vii) Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any xxxx of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing any foreclosure sale hereunder as to nonpayment of the Obligations or as to the occurrence of any default, or as to the Indenture Trustee having declared all Obligations to be due and payable, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale and of the properties to be sold having been duly given, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by the Indenture Trustee, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited.

(viii) The Indenture Trustee may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by the Indenture Trustee, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale, but in the name and on behalf of the Indenture Trustee.

(ix) The Indenture Trustee may appoint by instrument in writing one or more Receivers of any or all Obligors or any or all of the Collateral of any or all Obligors with such rights, powers and authority (including any or all of the rights, powers and authority of the Indenture Trustee under this Base Indenture) as may be provided for in the instrument of appointment or any supplemental instrument, and remove and replace any such Receiver from time to time. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any Receiver appointed by the Indenture Trustee shall be considered to be the agent of any such Obligor and not of the Indenture Trustee or any of the other Secured Parties.

Section 14.02. Equity Interest Pledges.

(a) Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Obligor shall, for greater certainty, be entitled to continue to exercise all voting power from time to time exercisable with respect to the Equity Interests pledged by such Obligor and give consents, waivers and ratifications with respect thereto; provided, however, that no Obligor shall cast any vote or take any other action which would be, or would have a reasonable likelihood of being, prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders or which would have the effect of reducing the

111

value of the Collateral of such Obligor as security for the Obligations of such Obligor or imposing any additional restriction on the transferability of any of the Collateral of such Obligor.

(b) Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Obligor shall be entitled to receive any and all cash dividends, interest, principal payments and other forms of cash distribution otherwise permitted hereunder on Equity Interests pledged by such Obligor which it is otherwise entitled to receive. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all rights of such Obligor pursuant to this Section shall cease and the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain the cash dividends, interest, principal payments and other forms of cash distribution which such Obligor would otherwise be authorized to retain pursuant to this Section. Any money and other property paid over to or received by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14.02 shall be retained by the Indenture Trustee as additional Collateral hereunder and be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Base Indenture. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, all such rights of the applicable Obligor to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall cease and the Indenture Trustee or its nominee (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative or, if none, the Majority Noteholders) shall be entitled to exercise all such voting rights and to give all such consents, waivers and ratifications.

ARTICLE XV

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 15.01. Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc. Upon any application or request by the Co-Issuers to the Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Base Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document, the Co-Issuers shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Base Indenture, such Indenture Supplement, or such Transaction Document relating to the proposed action have been complied with, when reasonably requested by the Indenture Trustee and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel such action is authorized or permitted by this Base Indenture, such Indenture Supplement and/or such Transaction Document as applicable, and all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, meeting the applicable requirements of this Section 15.01, except that, in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Base Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any Transaction Document, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

Every certificate or opinion provided by or on behalf of the Co-Issuers with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Base Indenture, or any Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document shall include:

(i) a statement that each signatory of such certificate or opinion has read or has caused to be read such covenant or condition and the definitions in this Base Indenture, in such Indenture Supplement or such other Transaction Document relating thereto;

112

(ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

(iii) a statement that, in the opinion of each such signatory, such signatory has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such signatory to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

(iv) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such signatory, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to require either the Indenture Trustee to confirm, represent or warrant the accuracy of (or to be liable or responsible for) any other Person’s information or report, including any communication from the Co-Issuers, any Asset Entity, the Guarantors or the Manager. In connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, each of the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any written information or certification (without any obligation to investigate the accuracy or completeness of any information or certification set forth therein) or recommendation provided to it by the Manager, and the Indenture Trustee shall not have any liability with respect thereto.

Section 15.02. Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee.

(a) 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.

(b) Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Co-Issuers may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or Opinion of Counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such Officer’s Certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Co-Issuers, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Co-Issuers, unless such officer or officers of the Co-Issuers or such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

(c) Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, comments, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Base Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

113

(d) Whenever in this Base Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Co-Issuers or the Asset Entities shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Co-Issuers’ or the Asset Entities’ compliance with any term hereof, in any Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Co-Issuers or the Asset Entities to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee’s right to rely upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article XI.

Section 15.03. Acts of Noteholders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Base Indenture or in any Indenture Supplement, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Co-Issuers. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied in this Base Indenture or in any Indenture Supplement and evidenced thereby) are sometimes referred to in this Base Indenture as the “Act” of the Noteholders 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 Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement and (subject to Article XI) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Co-Issuers, if made in the manner provided in this Section 15.03.

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

(c) The ownership, principal balance and serial numbers of the Notes, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Note Register.

(d) If the Co-Issuers shall solicit from Noteholders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Co-Issuers may, at their option, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Noteholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Co-Issuers shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be fixed at the Co-Issuers’ discretion. If not set by the Co-Issuers prior to the first solicitation of a Noteholder made by any Person in respect of any such matters referred to in the foregoing sentence, such record date shall be the date 30 days prior to such first solicitation of Noteholders. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent and waiver or other Act may be sought or given before or after the record date, but only the Noteholders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Noteholders for the purpose of determining whether Noteholders of the requisite proportion of the Notes Outstanding have authorized or

114

agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Notes Outstanding shall be computed as of such record date.

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

(f) Without limiting the foregoing, a Noteholder entitled hereunder or under any Indenture Supplement to take any action hereunder or thereunder with regard to any Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal balance of such Note or by one or more appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal balance of such Note.

(g) The Indenture Trustee (in each of its capacities) agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Base Indenture or any documents executed in connection herewith sent by unsecured email or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that any person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to the Indenture Trustee an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to provide such instructions or directions (including the email addresses of such persons), which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a person is added or deleted from the listing. If such person elects to give the Indenture Trustee email (of .pdf or similar files) (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Indenture Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Indenture Trustee’s reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Indenture Trustee’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 or directions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Indenture Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Indenture Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

Section 15.04. Notices; Copies of Notices and Other Information.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Base Indenture shall be in writing and if such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders is to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

(i) the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by any Obligor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; or

(ii) the Co-Issuers by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed first-class, postage prepaid and by email to the Co-Issuers addressed to: DigitalBridge Guarantor, LLC and

115

DigitalBridge Co-Guarantor, LLC, 000 Xxxx xx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx 000, Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Director, Legal Department, Email: xxxx-xxxxx@xxxx.xxx or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Co-Issuers. The Co-Issuers shall promptly transmit any notice received by them from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.

(b) Any notice to be given to the Indenture Trustee hereunder shall also be given to the Note Registrar in writing, personally delivered, faxed, emailed or mailed by certified mail; provided, however, that only one notice to the Indenture Trustee shall be necessary at any time that the Indenture Trustee is also the Note Registrar.

(c) Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Co-Issuers or the Asset Entities or the Indenture Trustee with respect to any Series of Notes shall be made as specified in the Series Indenture Supplement for such Series of Notes.

Section 15.05. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.

(a) Where this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise expressly provided in this Base Indenture or in such Indenture Supplement) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such event, at its address as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner provided in this Base Indenture shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given.

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

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

116

(d) Where this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give such notice to the Rating Agencies shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder or under any Indenture Supplement, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default or Event of Default.

Section 15.06. Payment and Notice Dates. All payments to be made and notices to be delivered pursuant to this Base Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any other Transaction Document shall be made by the responsible party as of the dates set forth in this Base Indenture, in such Indenture Supplement or in such other Transaction Document.

Section 15.07. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings in this Base Indenture or in any Indenture Supplement and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof or thereof.

Section 15.08. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Base Indenture, any Indenture Supplement and the Notes by the Obligors shall bind their successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Base Indenture and any Indenture Supplement shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.

Section 15.09. Severability; Entire Agreement. In case any provision in this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement or in the Notes of any Series shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Base Indenture supersedes all prior agreements between the parties and constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters covered hereby and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties.

Section 15.10. Benefits of Base Indenture. Subject to Section 13.01 and 0 and Article XI, nothing in this Base Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Noteholders and any other party secured hereunder or under any such Indenture Supplement, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Collateral and the Rating Agencies, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement.

Section 15.11. Legal Holiday. In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes, this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Base Indenture or in any such Indenture Supplement, no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

Section 15.17. No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, and each Note Owner, by accepting an ownership interest in a Global Note, hereby covenants and agrees that neither it nor the Indenture Trustee on behalf of such Noteholder will at any time institute against the Co-Issuers or the Asset Entities or the Guarantors, or join in any institution against the Co-Issuers or the Asset Entities or the Guarantors of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceedings, or other proceedings under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this Base Indenture, any such Indenture Supplement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

Section 15.18. Extinguishment of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, all obligations of the Obligors hereunder or under any Indenture Supplement shall be deemed to be extinguished in the event that, at any time, the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors and the Asset Entities have no assets (which shall include claims that may be asserted by the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors and the Asset Entities with respect to contractual obligations of third parties to the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors and the

119

Asset Entities but which shall not include the proceeds of the issue of their Equity Interests in respect of the Series 2021-1 Closing Date). No further claims may be brought against any of the Obligors’ directors or officers or against their shareholders or members, as the case may be, for any such obligations, except in the case of fraud or actions taken in bad faith by such Persons.

Section 15.19. Survival of Representations and Warranties.

Section 15.22. Indenture Trustee’s Duties and Obligations Limited. The duties and obligations of the Indenture Trustee, in its various capacities hereunder and under any Indenture Supplement, shall be limited to those expressly provided for in their entirety in this Base Indenture (including any exhibits to this Base Indenture and to any Indenture Supplement). Any references in this Base Indenture and in any Indenture Supplement (and in the exhibits to this Base Indenture and to any Indenture Supplement) to duties or obligations of the Indenture Trustee, in its various capacities hereunder and under any such Indenture Supplement, that purport to arise pursuant to the provisions of any of the Transaction Documents or any such Indenture Supplement shall only be duties and obligations of the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee in its other capacities, as applicable, if the Indenture Trustee is a signatory to any such Transaction Documents or any such Indenture Supplement. By its acquisition of the Notes, each Noteholder shall be deemed to have authorized and directed the Indenture Trustee to enter into the Transaction Documents to which the Indenture Trustee is a signatory.

Section 15.23. Agreed Upon Tax Treatment. By purchasing the Notes (or by registration of an Uncertificated Note) or a beneficial interest therein, each Holder or Beneficial Owner will agree to treat the Notes as debt for all United States tax purposes.

qualify for a reduced rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which the Co-Issuers receive payments on their assets, or (c) to determine or satisfy 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 under any present or future law or regulation of any jurisdiction or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any law or regulation.

ARTICLE XVI

GUARANTEES

Section 16.01. Guarantees. Each Asset Entity hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to each Holder and to the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, and their respective successors and assigns (a) the full and timely payment of principal of and interest on the Notes when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Co-Issuers and the other Asset Entities under this Base Indenture and the Notes and each other Transaction Document and (b) the full and timely performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Co-Issuers and the other Asset Entities under this Base Indenture and the Notes and all other Transaction Documents (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

Each Asset Entity waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Co-Issuers and the other Asset Entities of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Asset Entity waives notice of any default under the Notes or the other Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Asset Entity hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder or the Indenture Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the Transaction Documents against any other Obligor or any other Person or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Base Indenture, the Notes or any other Transaction Document; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Indenture Trustee for the Obligations or any of them; or (e) the failure of any Holder or the Indenture Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Each Asset Entity further agrees that its guaranty herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Indenture Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Except as expressly set forth herein, the obligations of each Asset Entity hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Asset Entity herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Indenture

121

Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Base Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Asset Entity or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Asset Entity as a matter of law or equity.

Each Asset Entity further agrees that its guaranty herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Indenture Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Co-Issuers or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Indenture Trustee has at law or in equity against any Asset Entity by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Co-Issuers to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Asset Entity hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Indenture Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations and (iii) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Co-Issuers to the Holders and the Indenture Trustee.

Each Asset Entity also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) incurred by the Indenture Trustee in enforcing any rights under this Section.

Notwithstanding any payment made by any Asset Entity hereunder, such Asset Entity shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Indenture Trustee against the Co-Issuers or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Indenture Trustee for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Asset Entity seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Co-Issuers in respect of payments made by the Asset Entity hereunder, until the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to an Asset Entity on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Asset Entity in trust for the Indenture Trustee, segregated from other funds of such Asset Entity, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Asset Entity, be turned over to the Indenture Trustee in the exact form received by such Asset Entity (duly indorsed by such Asset Entity, as applicable, to the Indenture Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Indenture Trustee may determine.

Section 16.02. Limitation on Liability. Any term or provision of this Base Indenture to the contrary, the maximum, aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any U.S. Asset Entity shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Base Indenture, as it relates to such U.S. Asset

122

Entity, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

Section 16.03. Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 16.06, this Article XVI shall be binding upon each Asset Entity and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Indenture Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Base Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Base Indenture.

Section 16.04. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Indenture Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article XVI shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article XVI at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

Section 16.05. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article XVI, nor the consent to any departure by any Asset Entity therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Indenture Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Asset Entity in any case shall entitle such Asset Entity to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Section 16.06. Release of Asset Entity. Upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation, merger or amalgamation) of an Asset Entity that is permitted hereunder (in each case other than to the Co-Issuers or another Asset Entity), such Asset Entity shall be deemed released from all obligations under this Article XVI without any further action required on the part of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder. At the request of the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release.

THIS NOTE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIBANK, N.A., OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES. THE NOTES ARE NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY ANY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE UNITED STATES OR BY ANY OTHER PERSON.

BY ACCEPTING THIS NOTE, EACH HOLDER COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE DATE WHICH IS ONE (1) YEAR AND ONE (1) DAY AFTER THE PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE LATEST MATURING NOTE, INSTITUTE AGAINST, OR JOIN WITH ANY OTHER PERSON IN INSTITUTING AGAINST, ANY OBLIGOR OR GUARANTOR ANY BANKRUPTCY, REORGANIZATION, ARRANGEMENT, INSOLVENCY OR LIQUIDATION PROCEEDINGS, OR OTHER PROCEEDINGS, UNDER ANY FEDERAL OR STATE BANKRUPTCY OR SIMILAR LAW.

THE OUTSTANDING NOTE PRINCIPAL BALANCE HEREOF AT ANY TIME MAY BE LESS THAN THE AMOUNT SHOWN ABOVE.

This certifies that CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, is the registered owner of the percentage interest evidenced by this Note (obtained by dividing the Note Principal Balance of this Note as of the Closing Date by the Class Principal Balance of the Class of Notes to which this Note belongs) in the Class [___] Notes (the “Percentage Interest”). The Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of July 9, 2021 (together with all modifications, supplements, amendments and restatements thereof, the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by a Series Indenture Supplement, among the Co-Issuers, the Asset Entities party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee and not in its individual capacity (in such capacity, together with its successors, the “Indenture Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Base Indenture. This Note is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Base Indenture, to which Base Indenture the Holder of this Note by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

A-1-3

preceding the month in which such Payment Date occurs (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Note in the Class or Series to which this Note belongs and the amount required to be paid on the applicable Payment Date pursuant to the Base Indenture to all the Holders of Notes of the Class or Series to which this Note belongs. All payments made under the Base Indenture on this Note will be made by the Indenture Trustee from funds available therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if this Noteholder shall have provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent payments).

This Note shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period on the Note Principal Balance of such Note at a rate per annum equal to the Note Rate specified above. Accrued Note Interest on each Class of Notes shall be calculated on a 30/360 Basis and, during each Interest Accrual Period, shall accrue at the Note Rate for such Note for such Interest Accrual Period on the Note Principal Balance thereof outstanding immediately prior to the related Payment Date.

The Note Principal Balance of this Note, to the extent not earlier paid, shall be due and payable in its entirety on the Rated Final Payment Date of this Note.

As provided in the Base Indenture, withdrawals from the Collection Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than, and, in certain cases, prior to, payments to Noteholders, such purposes including the reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Notes and the payment of interest on such advances and expenses.

Any payment to the Holder of this Note in reduction of the Note Principal Balance hereof is binding on such Holder and all future Holders of this Note and any Note issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such payment is made upon this Note.

This Note is issuable in fully-registered form only without coupons. As provided in the Base Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for new Notes of the same Class of the same Series in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or interest therein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Tax Restricted Note or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is otherwise made in accordance with Section 2.02(k) of the Base Indenture.

A-1-4

account (and not for the account of others) or as a fiduciary or agent for others (which others are Qualified Institutional Buyers). Except as provided in the following two paragraphs, no interest in a Global Note for any Class of Book-Entry Notes shall be transferred to any Person who takes delivery other than in the form of an interest in such Global Note.

None of the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar shall be obligated to register or qualify any Class of Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Base Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note or interest therein without registration or qualification. Any Noteholder or Note Owner desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Note or interest therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Obligors, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers, the Indenture Trustee, the Manager and the Note Registrar against any liability that may result if such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is not exempt from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No transfer of any Note or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan or to any Person who is directly or indirectly acquiring such Note on behalf of, as fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with the assets of, a Plan, except in each such case, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02(c) of the Base Indenture. Any attempted or purported transfer of a Note in violation of Section 2.02(c) of the Base Indenture will be null and void and vest no rights in any purported Transferee.

The Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of a Note that constitutes a Definitive Note or the transfer of an interest in a Book-Entry Note that following such purported transfer will constitute a Definitive Note unless the Note Registrar has received from the prospective Transferee a certification that either (i) such prospective Transferee is not a Plan or any Person who is acquiring or holding such Note or any interest therein on behalf of, as fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of, any Plan, or (ii) such acquisition and holding by such Transferee of such Note or any interest therein will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation of any applicable Similar Law.

It is hereby acknowledged that the form of certification attached to the Base Indenture as Exhibit B-1 is acceptable for purposes of the preceding paragraph. If a transfer of any interest in a Note is to be made and is permitted without delivering to the Note Registrar a certification as provided in Section 2.02(c) of the Base Indenture, the prospective Transferee of such Note, by its acquisition of such Note (or an interest therein), shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) it is not acquiring such Note (or any interest therein) with the assets of any Plan or (ii) such acquisition and holding of such Note or any interest therein by such Transferee of such Note or any interest therein will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation of any applicable Similar Law, and (y) none of the Transaction Parties has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary (within the meaning of ERISA or the Code or any applicable Similar Law), or has been relied upon for any advice with respect to the decision to acquire, hold, sell, exchange, vote, or provide any consent with respect to the Note (or any interest therein) and none of the Transaction Parties shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire,

A-1-5

continue to hold, sell, exchange, vote, or provide any consent with respect to the Note (or any interest therein). Further, if a transfer of any interest in a Note is to be made and is permitted without delivering to the Note Registrar a certification as provided in Section 2.02(c) of the Base Indenture, and the prospective Transferee of such Note is acquiring such Note (or any interest therein) on behalf of or with the assets of a Plan, such prospective Transferee, by its acquisition of such Note (or an interest therein), shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it understands that (i) none of the Transaction Parties has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary (within the meaning of ERISA or the Code), or has been relied upon for any advice, with respect to the Transferee’s decision to acquire, hold, sell, exchange, vote or provide any consent with respect to the Note (or any interest therein) and none of the Transaction Parties shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold, sell, exchange, vote, or provide any consent with respect to the Note (or any interest therein).

As provided in the Base Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registerable in the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the offices of the Note Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his 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 Security Transfer Agent Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and accompanied by such other documents as the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar may require, and thereupon one or more new Notes of the same Class of the same Series in authorized denominations evidencing a like aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No service charge will be imposed for any transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Note.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Note is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Note shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC, and accordingly, this Note shall constitute a Book-Entry Note.

The Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agent of the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

A-1-6

or the Asset Entities or the Guarantors of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceedings, or other proceedings under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, all obligations of the Co-Issuers under this Note shall be deemed to be extinguished in the event that, at any time, the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors and the Asset Entities have no assets (which shall include claims that may be asserted by the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors and the Asset Entities with respect to contractual obligations of third parties to the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors and the Asset Entities but which shall not include the proceeds of the initial issue of their shares). No further claims may be brought against any of the Co-Issuers’ directors or officers or against their shareholders or members, as the case may be, for any such obligations, except in the case of fraud or actions taken in bad faith by such Persons.

The Base Indenture permits certain amendents to be made thereto without the consent of the Noteholders, the Co-Issuers or the Indenture Trustee, provided that certain conditions precedent are satisfied.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Note Registrar, by manual or facsimile signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Base Indenture or be valid for any purpose.

The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will not have at any time recourse for payments hereunder against the Indenture Trustee or any Agents or Affiliates thereof.

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE.

THE OUTSTANDING NOTE PRINCIPAL BALANCE HEREOF AT ANY TIME MAY BE LESS THAN THE AMOUNT SHOWN ABOVE.

This certifies that [______], or registered assigns, is the registered owner of the percentage interest evidenced by this Note (obtained by dividing the Notce Principal Balance of this Note as of the Closing Date by the Class Principal Balance of the Class of Notes to which this Note belongs) in the Class [_____] Notes (the “Percentage Interest”). The Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of July 9, 2021 (together with all modifications, supplements, amendments and restatements thereof, the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by a Series Indenture Supplement, among the Co-Issuers, the Asset Entities party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee and not in its individual capacity (in such capacity together with its successors, the “Indenture Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Base Indenture. This Note is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Base Indenture, to which Base Indenture the Holder of this Note by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.

Pursuant to the terms of the Base Indenture, beginning on the first Payment Date specified above, payments will be made on the 25th calendar day of each March, June, September and December of each year or, if any such 25th day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each a “Payment Date”) to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Payment Date occurs (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Note in the Class or Series to which this Note belongs and the amount required to be paid on the applicable Payment Date pursuant to the Base Indenture to all the Holders of Notes of the Class or Series to which this Note belongs. All payments made under the Base Indenture on this Note will be made by the Indenture Trustee from funds available therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if this Noteholder shall have provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent payments). Notwithstanding the foregoing,

A-2-3

the final payment on this Note will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the offices of the Note Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment.

The Note Principal Balance of this Note, to the extent not earlier paid, shall be due and payable in its entirety on the Rated Final Payment Date of this Note.

If a transfer of any Note that constitutes a Definitive Note is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Notes or a transfer of a Book-Entry Note to a successor Depositary as contemplated by Section 2.03(c) of the Base Indenture), then the Note Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certification from such Noteholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-1 to the Base Indenture and a certification from such Noteholder substantially as in the form attached as Exhibit B-2 to the Base Indenture; or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Note Registrar to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Co-Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Manager or the Note Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the

A-2-4

written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer or such Noteholder’s prospective Transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is based.

Either (i) such prospective Transferee is not a Plan or any Person who is directly or indirectly acquiring or holding such Note or any interest therein on behalf of, as fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of, any Plan, or (ii) such acquisition and holding by such Transferee of such Note or any interest therein will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation of any applicable Similar Law.

It is hereby acknowledged the form of certification attached to the Base Indenture as Exhibit B-1 is acceptable for purposes of the preceding paragraph. If a transfer of any interest in a Note is to be made and is permitted without delivering to the Note Registrar a certification as provided in Section 2.02(c) of the Base Indenture, the prospective Transferee of such Note, by its acquisition of such Note (or an interest therein), shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) it is not acquiring such Note (or any interest therein) with the assets of any Plan or (ii) (x) such acquisition and holding of such Note or any interest therein by such Transferee of such Note or any interest therein will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation of any applicable Similar Law, and (y) none of the Transaction Parties has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary (within the meaning of ERISA or the Code or any applicable Similar Law), or has been relied upon for any advice with respect to the decision to acquire, hold, sell, exchange, vote, or provide any consent with respect to the Note (or any interest therein) and none of the Transaction Parties

A-2-5

shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold, sell, exchange, vote, or provide any consent with respect to the Note (or any interest therein). Further, if a transfer of any interest in a Note is to be made and is permitted without delivering to the Note Registrar a certification as provided in Section 2.02(c) of the Base Indenture, and the prospective Transferee of such Note is acquiring such Note (or any interest therein) on behalf of or with the assets of a Plan, such prospective Transferee, by its acquisition of such Note (or an interest therein), shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that it understands that (i) none of the Transaction Parties has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary (within the meaning of ERISA or the Code), or has been relied upon for any advice, with respect to the Transferee’s decision to acquire, hold, sell, exchange, vote or provide any consent with respect to the Note (or any interest therein) and none of the Transaction Parties shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold, sell, exchange, vote, or provide any consent with respect to the Note (or any interest therein).

Each Holder of this Note, by accepting this Note, and each Note Owner of an interest in this Note, by accepting an ownership interest in this Note, hereby covenants and agrees that neither it nor the Indenture Trustee on behalf of it will at any time institute against the Co-Issuers and/or the Asset Entities or the Guarantors, or join in any institution against the Co-Issuers and/or the Asset Entities or the Guarantors of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceedings, or other proceedings under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents.

A-2-6

The Base Indenture permits certain amendments to be made thereto without the consent of the Noteholders, the Co-Issuers or the Indenture Trustee, provided that certain conditions precedent are satisfied.

The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will not have at any time recourse for payments hereunder against the Indenture Trustee or any Agents or Affiliates thereof.

A-2-7

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Co-Issuers have duly executed this Note.
