- 34 -
obligation or (y) has the purpose of helping the issuer to avoid default, or
(4) that has been rated “CC”, “D” or “SD” or below by S&P or (5) with respect to

(without giving effect to any applicable grace period or waiver) as to payment of
principal and/or interest on another obligation (and such default has not been cured
or waived) which is senior or pari passu in right of payment to such Preferred

(ii) with respect to a Loan, if a foreclosure or default (whether or not
declared) with respect to the related commercial mortgage loan has occurred;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, a Loan shall not be deemed to

interest on such Loan or on the related commercial mortgage loan on the initial due
date therefor, if the related lender or holder of such Loan or the related
commercial mortgage loan consents to extend the due date when such interest is due
and payable, and such interest is paid on or before such extended due date (provided
that such interest is paid not more than 60 days (or if such interest was previously
paid 60 days after the initial date that it was due as a result of the Issuer or the
Collateral Manager previously consenting to extend such due date, 30 days) after the
initial date that it was due), or (2) the related obligor’s failure to pay principal

such extended maturity date, or (3) the occurrence of any default other than a
payment default with respect to such Loan or the related commercial mortgage loan,
unless and until the earlier of (A) declaration of default and acceleration of the
maturity of the Loan by the lender or holder thereof and (B) the continuance of such
default uncured for 60 days after such default became known to the Issuer or the
Collateral Manager or, subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition,
such longer period as the Collateral Manager determines. As used herein, the term
“original maturity date” means the maturity date of a Loan or the related commercial
mortgage loan as extended by all extensions thereof which the related obligor had
the right to elect and did elect under the terms of the instruments and agreements
relating to such Loan or the related commercial mortgage loan, but before taking
into account any additional extensions thereof that are consented to by the lender
or holder of such Loan or the related commercial mortgage loan; and
(iii) with respect to a CMBS Security (1) as to which there has occurred and is
continuing a principal payment default (without giving effect to any applicable
grace period or waiver) or (2) as to which there is known to the Issuer or the
Collateral Manager a default (other than any payment default) which default entitles
the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity of all or a portion of
- 35 -
the principal amount of such obligation; provided, however, in the case of (1)
and (2), if such default is cured or waived then such asset shall no longer be a
Defaulted Security or (3) as to which there is known to the Collateral Manager (A)
any bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceeding has been initiated in
connection with the issuer of such CMBS Security, or (B) there has been proposed or
effected any distressed exchange or other debt re structuring where the issuer of
such CMBS Security has offered the debt holders a new security or package of
securities that either (x) amounts to a diminished financial obligation or (y) has
the purpose of helping the issuer to avoid default, or (4) that has been rated “CC”,
“D” or “SD” or below by S&P, “CC” or below by Fitch or “Ca” or “C” by Xxxxx’x or (5)
as to which there is known to the Collateral Manager that the issuer thereof is in
default (without giving effect to any applicable grace period or waiver) as to
payment of principal and/or interest on another obligation (and such default has not
been cured or waived) which is senior or pari passu in right of payment to such CMBS
Security, except that a CMBS Security will not constitute a “Defaulted Security”
under this clause (5) if each of the Rating Agencies has confirmed in writing that
such event shall not result in the reduction, qualification or withdrawal of any
rating of the Notes; or (6) (A) as to which there has been a failure to pay interest
in whole or in part for the lesser of (x) six months or (y) three payment periods
(if such CMBS Security is rated (or privately rated for purposes of the issuance of
the Securities) below “Baa3” by Xxxxx’x or “BBB ” by S&P or Fitch); provided,
however, if the Rating Agency Condition for such CMBS Security is satisfied with
respect to S&P and Xxxxx’x, the Collateral Manager may choose not to treat such a
CMBS Security as a Defaulted Security or (B) as to which there has been a failure to
pay interest in whole or in part for the lesser of (x) one year or (y) six
consecutive payment periods (if such CMBS Security is rated (or privately rated for
purposes of the issuance of the Securities) “BBB ” or higher by S&P or Fitch, or
“Baa3” or higher by Xxxxx’x) even if by its terms it provides for the deferral and
capitalization of interest thereon;
provided that any Collateral Obligation which has sustained a write down of principal balance in
accordance with its terms will not necessarily be considered a Defaulted Security solely due to
such write down; provided, further, that for purposes of the Par Value Ratios, any Collateral
Obligation that has sustained an implied reduction of principal balance due to an appraisal
reduction will not necessarily be considered a Defaulted Security solely due to such implied
reduction.
For purposes of calculating the Par Value Ratio, an appraisal reduction of a Collateral
Obligation will be assumed to result in an implied reduction of principal balance for such
Collateral Obligation only if such appraisal reduction is intended to reduce the interest payable
on such Collateral Obligation and only in proportion to such interest reduction. For purposes of
the Par Value Ratio, any Collateral Obligation that has sustained an implied reduction of principal
balance due to an appraisal reduction will not be considered a Defaulted Security solely due to
such implied reduction. The Collateral Manager will notify the Trustee of any appraisal reductions
of Collateral Obligations if the Collateral Manager has actual knowledge thereof.
- 36 -
For purposes of the definition of “Defaulted Security,” the “Maturity Extension Requirements”
will be satisfied with respect to any extension if the maturity date is extended (i) in the case of
Loans other than ARD Loans, to a new maturity date that is (A) not more than two (2) years after
the original maturity date and (B) not less than ten years prior to the Stated Maturity and (ii) in
the case of ARD Loans, such that (A) the anticipated repayment date will not be less than 20 years
prior to the Stated Maturity and (B) the new maturity date is not less than 3 years prior to the
Stated Maturity; provided, however, that notwithstanding the requirements in the foregoing clauses
(i) and (ii), “Maturity Extension Requirements” will be deemed satisfied with respect to any
extensions as to which the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied.

Defaulted Securities under clause (ii)(3) above based on facts in existence as of the Closing Date

Obligations Purchase Agreements: Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Apartments, Legacy Parc Horizons LLC, Crowne Plaza,

Section 1.2. Assumptions as to Pledged Obligations.
(a) In connection with all calculations required to be made pursuant to this Indenture with
respect to Scheduled Distributions on any Pledged Obligation, or any payments on any other assets
included in the Assets, and with respect to the income that can be earned on Scheduled
Distributions on such Pledged Obligations and on any other amounts that may be received for deposit
in the applicable Collection Account, the provisions set forth in this Section 1.2 shall be
applied.
(b) All calculations with respect to Scheduled Distributions on the Pledged Obligations
securing the Notes shall be made on the basis of information as to the terms of each such Pledged
Obligation and upon report of payments, if any, received on such Pledged Obligation that are
furnished by or on behalf of the issuer of such Pledged Obligation and, to the extent they are not
manifestly in error, such information or report may be conclusively relied upon in making such
calculations.
(c) For each Due Period, the Scheduled Distribution on any Pledged Obligation (other than a
Defaulted Security, which, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be assumed to have a
Scheduled Distribution of zero) shall be the sum of (i) the total amount of payments and
collections in respect of such Pledged Obligation (including all Sales Proceeds received by the
Trustee during the Due Period and not reinvested in Substitute Collateral Obligations or retained
in the Principal Collection Account for subsequent reinvestment) that, if paid as scheduled, will
be available in the Collection Accounts at the end of such Due Period for payment on the Notes and
of expenses of the Issuer pursuant to the Priority of Payments and (ii) any such amounts received
by the Trustee in prior Due Periods that were not disbursed on a previous Payment Date and do not
constitute amounts which have been used as reimbursement with respect to a prior Interest Advance
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.
(d) With respect to any Collateral Obligation as to which any interest or other payment
thereon is subject to withholding tax of any relevant jurisdiction, each Scheduled Distribution
thereon shall, for purposes of the Coverage Tests and the Collateral Quality Tests, be deemed to be
payable net of such withholding tax unless the issuer thereof or obligor thereon is required to
make additional payments to fully compensate the Issuer for such withholding taxes (including in
respect of any such additional payments). On any date of determination, the
- 97 -
amount of any Scheduled Distribution due on any future date shall be assumed to be made net of
any such uncompensated withholding tax based upon withholding tax rates in effect on such date of
determination.
(e) For purposes of calculating any Interest Coverage Ratio, the expected interest income on
floating rate Collateral Obligations and Eligible Investments and under each Hedge Agreement and
the expected interest payable on the Notes and, in the case of the Class A-1R Notes, the Class A-1R
Commitment Fee, shall be calculated using (i) the interest rates applicable thereto on the
applicable Measurement Date and (ii) accrued original issue discount on Eligible Investments shall
be deemed to be Scheduled Distributions of interest due on the date such original issue discount is
scheduled to be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purposes of calculating any Interest
Coverage Ratio, there shall be excluded all scheduled or deferred payments of interest on or
principal of Collateral Obligations and any payment, including any amount payable to the Issuer by
each Hedge Counterparty, which the Collateral Manager has determined in its reasonable judgment
shall not be made in Cash or received when due.
(f) Each Scheduled Distribution receivable with respect to a Pledged Obligation shall be
assumed to be received on the applicable Due Date, and each such Scheduled Distribution shall be
assumed to be immediately deposited in the applicable Collection Account except (i) to the extent
the applicable Due Date with respect to a Pledged Obligation has occurred and the related Scheduled
Distribution has not been received or (ii) to the extent the Collateral Manager has a reasonable
expectation that such Scheduled Distribution will not be received on the applicable Due Date. All
such funds shall be assumed to continue to earn interest until the date on which they are required
to be available in the applicable Collection Account for transfer to the Payment Account for
application, in accordance with the terms hereof, to payments of principal of or interest on the
Notes and, in the case of the Class A-1R Notes, the Class A-1R Commitment Fee, or other amounts
payable pursuant to this Indenture.
(g) All calculations required to be made and all reports which are to be prepared pursuant to
this Indenture with respect to the Pledged Obligations, shall be made on the basis of the date on
which the Issuer makes a commitment to purchase or sell an asset (the “trade date”), not
the settlement date.
(h) For purposes of calculating the Par Value Ratio, an appraisal reduction of a Collateral
Obligation will be assumed to result in an implied reduction of Principal Balance for such
Collateral Obligation only if such appraisal reduction is intended to reduce the interest payable
on such Collateral Obligation and only in proportion to such interest reduction. For purposes of
the Par Value Ratio, any Collateral Obligation that has sustained an implied reduction of Principal
Balance due to an appraisal reduction will not be considered a Defaulted Security solely due to
such implied reduction. The Collateral Manager will notify the Trustee of any appraisal reductions
of Collateral Obligations if the Collateral Manager has actual knowledge thereof.
(i) For purposes of calculating the Weighted Average Coupon in respect of Fixed Rate
Securities that are subject to any servicing agreement, the current interest rates in respect of
such Fixed Rate Securities shall be adjusted to reflect the amount of interest withheld
- 98 -
by or on behalf of the related servicer in respect of such Fixed Rate Securities as a part of
its Servicing Fee. For purposes of calculating the Weighted Average Spread in respect of Floating
Rate Securities that are subject to any servicing agreement, the stated spreads above LIBOR in
respect of such Floating Rate Securities shall be adjusted to reflect the amount of interest
withheld by or on behalf of the related servicer in respect of such Floating Rate Securities as a
part of its Servicing Fee.
Section 1.3. Interest Calculation Convention.
All calculations of interest and fees (other than the Class A-1R Commitment Fees) hereunder
that are made with respect to the Notes shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days
during the related Interest Accrual Period divided by 360.
Section 1.4. Rounding Convention.
Unless otherwise specified herein, test calculations that evaluate to a percentage will be
rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percentage point and test calculations that evaluate to a
number or decimal will be rounded to 2 decimal places.
Section 1.5. Servicing Override
For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of any action required or permitted to be taken by the
Collateral Manager hereunder, any such action shall be subject to override by the applicable
servicer to the extent set forth in the Collateral Management Agreement and any Servicing
Agreement.

Section 2.4. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.
The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by any of its Authorized Officers. The
signature of any such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.
Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the
Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer notwithstanding the fact that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of issuance of such Notes.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Issuer may deliver Notes executed by the Issuer to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for
authentication and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, upon Issuer Order, shall authenticate
and deliver such Notes as provided in this Indenture and not otherwise.
Each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent upon Issuer

authorized denominations reflecting the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes so
transferred, exchanged or replaced, but shall represent only the current outstanding principal
amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced. In the event that any Note is divided
into more than one Note in accordance with this Article 2, the original principal amount of
such Note shall be proportionately divided among the Notes delivered in exchange therefor and shall
be deemed to be the original aggregate principal amount of such subsequently issued Notes.
No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for
any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a Certificate of Authentication, substantially in
the form provided for herein, executed by the Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by the manual
signature of one of their Authorized Officers, and such certificate upon any Note shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder.
Section 2.5. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.
(a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Notes Register”) in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the
registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby initially
appointed “Notes Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of such Notes with
respect to any duplicate copy of the Notes Register kept in the United States as herein provided.
Upon any resignation or removal of the Notes Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a
successor or, in the absence of such appointment, assume the duties of Notes Registrar.
If a Person other than the Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Notes Registrar, the Issuer
shall give the Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of a successor Notes Registrar and
of the location, and any change in the location, of the Notes Registrar, and the Trustee shall have
the right to inspect the Notes Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof and
the Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Notes
Registrar by an Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders and the principal
amounts and numbers of such Notes.
Subject to this Section 2.5, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Notes
at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2, the
Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like
aggregate principal amount.
At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for Notes of like terms, in any authorized
denominations and of like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged
at such office or agency. Whenever any Note is surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Noteholder making the exchange
is entitled to receive.
- 103 -
All Notes issued and authenticated upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes
shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or
exchange.
Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer
and the Notes Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing.
No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Notes, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
None of the Notes Registrar or the Issuer shall be required (i) to issue, register the
transfer of or exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15)
days before any selection of Notes to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of
the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange
any Note so selected for redemption.
(b) No Note may be sold or transferred (including, without limitation, by pledge or
hypothecation) unless such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and is exempt from the registration requirements under applicable state securities
laws.
(c) No Note may be offered, sold, resold or delivered, within the United States or to, or for
the benefit of, U.S. Persons except in accordance with Section 2.5(e) below and in
accordance with Rule 144A to QIBs who are Qualified Purchasers purchasing for their own account or
for the accounts of one or more QIBs who are Qualified Purchasers, for which the purchaser is
acting as fiduciary or agent. The Notes may be offered, sold, resold or delivered, as the case may
be, in offshore transactions to non-U.S. Persons who are Qualified Purchasers in reliance on
Regulation S. None of the Issuer, the Trustee or any other Person may register the Notes under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws.
(d) Upon final payment due on the Stated Maturity of a Note, the Holder thereof shall present
and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the office of the Paying
Agent (outside the United States if then required by applicable law in the case of a Note in
definitive form issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security
pursuant to Section 2.10).
(e) Transfers of Global Securities. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
herein, so long as a Global Security remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the
Depository, transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance
with Section 2.2(c) and this Section 2.5(e).
(i) Subject to clauses (ii) through (v) of this Section 2.5(e),
transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security
in whole,
- 104 -
but not in part, to nominees of the Depository or to a successor of the
Depository or such successor’s nominee.
(ii) Regulation S Global Security to Rule 144A Global Security. If a
holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security wishes to transfer
all or a part of its interest in such Regulation S Global Security to a Person who
wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Rule 144A Global Security, such
holder may, subject to the terms hereof and the rules and procedures of Euroclear,
Clearstream, Luxembourg or the Depository, as the case may be, exchange or cause the
exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Rule 144A
Global Security of the same Class. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Notes Registrar,
of (A) instructions from Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or the Depository, as
the case may be, directing the Trustee, as Notes Registrar, to cause such Rule 144A
Global Security to be increased by an amount equal to such beneficial interest in
such Regulation S Global Security but not less than the minimum denomination
applicable to the related Class of Notes, and (B) a certificate substantially in the
form of Exhibit D hereto given by the prospective transferee of such
beneficial interest, and stating, among other things, that such transferee acquiring
such interest in a Rule 144A Global Security is a QIB and a Qualified Purchaser, is
obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction pursuant to Rule 144A and in
accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or
any other applicable jurisdiction, then Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or the
Trustee, as Notes Registrar, as the case may be, shall approve the instruction at
the Depository to reduce such Regulation S Global Security by the aggregate
principal amount of the interest in such Regulation S Global Security to be
transferred and increase the Rule 144A Global Security specified in such
instructions by an Aggregate Outstanding Amount equal to such reduction in such
principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security.
(iii) Regulation S Global Security to Regulation S Global Security During
the Distribution Compliance Period. If, during the Distribution Compliance
Period, a holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security wishes
to transfer all or a part of its interest in such Regulation S Global Security to a
Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Regulation S Global
Security, such holder may, subject to the terms hereof and the rules and procedures
of Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or the Depository, as the case may be,
exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial
interest in a Regulation S Global Security of the same Class. Upon receipt by the
Trustee, as Notes Registrar, of (A) instructions from Euroclear, Clearstream,
Luxembourg or the Depository, as the case may be, directing the Trustee, as Notes
Registrar, to cause such transfer of beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global
Security and (B) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto
given by the prospective transferee of such beneficial interest, then Euroclear,
Clearstream, Luxembourg or the Trustee, as Notes Registrar, as the case may be,
shall approve the instruction at the Depository to credit or cause to be credited to
the account of such Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in a
Regulation S Global Security of the same
- 105 -
Class having a denomination equal to the amount by which the denomination of
the Regulation S Global Security was reduced upon such transfer.
(iv) Rule 144A Global Security to Regulation S Global Security. If a
holder of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Security wishes to transfer
all or a part of its interest in such Rule 144A Global Security to a Person who
wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Regulation S Global Security, such
holder may, subject to the terms hereof and the rules and procedures of Euroclear,
Clearstream, Luxembourg or the Depository, as the case may be, exchange or cause the
exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Regulation S
Global Security of the same Class. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Notes Registrar,
of (A) instructions from Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or the Depository, as
the case may be, directing the Trustee, as Notes Registrar, to cause such Regulation
S Global Security to be increased by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in
such Rule 144A Global Security but not less than the minimum denomination applicable
to the related Class of Notes to be exchanged, and (B) a certificate substantially
in the form of Exhibit C hereto given by the prospective transferee of such
beneficial interest and stating, among other things, that such transferee acquiring
such interest in a Regulation S Global Security is a not a U.S. Person and is a
Qualified Purchaser and that such transfer is being made pursuant to Rule 903 or 904
under Regulation S, then Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or the Trustee, as Notes
Registrar, as the case may be, shall approve the instruction at the Depository to
reduce such Rule 144A Global Security by the aggregate principal amount of the
interest in such Rule 144A Global Security to be transferred and increase the
Regulation S Global Security specified in such instructions by an Aggregate
Outstanding Amount equal to such reduction in the principal amount of the Rule 144A
Global Security.
(v) Other Exchanges. (A) In the event that, pursuant to Section
2.10 hereof, a Global Security is exchanged for Certificated Notes, such Notes
may be exchanged for one another only in accordance with such procedures as are
substantially consistent with the provisions above (including certification
requirements intended to ensure that such transfers are to a QIB who is also a
Qualified Purchaser or are to a non-U.S. Person who is also a Qualified Purchaser,
or otherwise comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S, as the case may be) and as may
be from time to time adopted by the Issuer and the Trustee. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no transfer of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security to
a Certificated Note shall be made prior to the expiration of the Distribution
Compliance Period and compliance with the certification requirements of Rule
903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the Securities Act.
(B) Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in subparagraph
(D) of this Section 2.5(e)(v), a Class J Note or Class K Note
represented by a Certificated Note may be transferred to a QIB in the form
of a Certificated Note upon receipt by the Trustee, as Notes Registrar, of a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 hereto given by
the prospective transferee of such beneficial interest and stating, among
other
- 106 -
things, that such transferee acquiring such interest in a Certificated
Note is a QIB and a Qualified Purchaser, is obtaining such beneficial
interest in a transaction pursuant to Rule 144A and in accordance with any
applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other
applicable jurisdiction. In connection with any such transfer, such
prospective transferee shall be deemed to have made the applicable
representations contained in Section 2.5(g) hereof.
(C) Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in subparagraph
(D) of this Section 2.5(e)(v), a Class J Note or Class K Note
represented by a Certificated Note may be transferred to a Person other than

such prospective transferee shall be deemed to have made the applicable
representations contained in Section 2.5(g) hereof.
(D) On the Closing Date, the Trust Depositor will purchase 100% of the
Class J Notes and 100% of the Class K Notes issued on the Closing Date.

long as any Class of Offered Note is Outstanding, the Trust Depositor may
not sell or otherwise transfer any of the Class J Notes or the Class K Notes
to any other person or entity except to its Affiliates or encumber or
finance any portion of the Class J Notes or the Class K Notes to any other
person or entity except to its Affiliates (other than a TRS) unless an
appropriate tax opinion is delivered to the Trustee by a nationally
recognized tax counsel experienced in such matters that such sale, transfer,
encumbrance or other financing, as of the date thereof, will not result in
the treatment of the Issuer as other than a QRS or other “pass through”
entity for federal income tax purposes.
(f)
Removal of Legend. If Notes are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement
of Notes bearing the applicable legends set forth in
Exhibits A and
B hereto, and
if a request is made to remove such applicable legend on such Notes, the Notes so issued shall bear
such applicable legend, or such applicable legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless
there is delivered to the Issuer such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of
Counsel of an attorney at law licensed to practice law in the State of
New York (and addressed to
the Issuer and the Trustee), as may be reasonably required by the Issuer, if applicable, to the
effect that neither such applicable legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are
required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Regulation S,
as applicable, the Investment Company Act or ERISA. So long as the Issuer is relying on an
exemption under or promulgated pursuant to the Investment Company Act, the Issuer shall not remove
that portion of the legend required to maintain an exemption under or promulgated
- 107 -
pursuant to the Investment Company Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, as
confirmed in writing by the Issuer to the Trustee, the Trustee, at the direction of the Issuer and,
if applicable, shall authenticate and deliver Notes that do not bear such applicable legend.

regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial, and accounting advisers to the
extent it has deemed necessary, and it has made its own investment decisions

Trustee or Paying Agent may require certification acceptable to it to enable the
Issuer to qualify for a reduced rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or
through which the Issuer receives payments on its assets. Each owner agrees to
provide any certification requested pursuant to this paragraph and to update or
replace such form or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent
amendments.

in part to avoid any U.S. federal income tax liability (including, without
limitation, any U.S. withholding tax that would be imposed on the Offered Notes

with respect to the Collateral Obligations if held directly by the owner); (C)
if such owner is a bank (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code) has
provided an IRS Form W-8ECI representing that all payments received or to be
received by it from the Issuer are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade
or business in the United States, or (D) if such owner is a bank (within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code) is eligible for benefits under an income tax
treaty with the United States that eliminates U.S. federal income taxation of U.S.

and the Issuer is treated as a fiscally transparent entity (as defined in Treasury

(h) Each beneficial owner of Regulation S Global Securities shall be deemed to have made the
representations set forth in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x) of
Section 2.5(g) and shall be deemed to have further represented and agreed as follows:
(1) The owner (A) is a Qualified Purchaser and (B) is aware that the sale of
such Notes to it is being made in reliance on the exemption from registration
provided by Regulation S and understands that the Notes offered in reliance on
Regulation S will bear the appropriate legend set forth in Exhibit A or
B, as applicable, and be represented by one or more Regulation S Global
Securities. The Notes so represented may not at any time be held by or on behalf of
U.S. Persons or a non-U.S. Person who is not a Qualified Purchaser. Each of the
owner and the related Holder is not, and shall not be, a U.S. Person. Before any
interest in a Regulation S Global Security may be offered, resold, pledged or
otherwise transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of a Rule 144A
Global Security, the transferee shall be required to provide the Trustee with a
written certification substantially in the form of Exhibits C and D
as applicable hereto as to compliance with the transfer restrictions. The owner
must inform a prospective transferee of the transfer restrictions.
(i) Any purported transfer of a Note not in accordance with this Section 2.5 shall be
null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose hereunder.
(j) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, neither the Trustee
nor the Notes Registrar (nor any other Transfer Agent) shall be responsible or liable for
compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws (including, without limitation, the
Securities Act or Rule 144A or Regulation S promulgated thereunder), the Investment Company Act,
ERISA or the Code (or any applicable regulations thereunder); provided, however, that if a
specified transfer certificate or Opinion of Counsel is required by the express terms of this
Section 2.5 to be delivered to the Trustee or Notes Registrar prior to registration of
transfer of a Note, the Trustee and/or Notes Registrar, as applicable, is required to request, as a
condition for registering the transfer of the Note, such certificate or Opinion of Counsel and to
examine the same to determine whether it conforms on its face to the requirements hereof (and the
Trustee or Notes Registrar, as the case may be, shall promptly
- 111 -
notify the party delivering the same if it determines that such certificate or Opinion of
Counsel does not so conform).
(k) If the Trustee is notified by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager that (i) a transfer or
attempted or purported transfer of any interest in any Note was consummated in compliance with the
provisions of this Section 2.5 on the basis of a materially incorrect certification from
the transferee or purported transferee, (ii) a transferee failed to deliver to the Trustee any
certification required to be delivered hereunder or (iii) the holder of any interest in a Note is
in breach of any representation or agreement set forth in any certification or any deemed
representation or agreement of such holder, the Trustee shall not register such attempted or
purported transfer and if a transfer has been registered, such transfer shall be absolutely null
and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee (such purported transferee,
a “Disqualified Transferee”) and the last preceding holder of such interest in such Note
that was not a Disqualified Transferee shall be restored to all rights as a Holder thereof
retroactively to the date of transfer of such Note by such Xxxxxx.
In addition, the Trustee may require that the interest in the Note referred to in (i), (ii) or
(iii) in the preceding paragraph be transferred to any person designated by the Issuer or the
Collateral Manager at a price determined by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, as applicable,
based upon its estimation of the prevailing price of such interest and each Holder, by acceptance
of an interest in a Note, authorizes the Trustee to take such action. In any case, the Trustee
shall not be held responsible for any losses that may be incurred as a result of any required
transfer under this Section 2.5(k).
(l) Each Holder of Notes approves and consents to (i) the initial purchase of the Collateral
Obligations by the Issuer from Affiliates of the Collateral Manager on or prior to the Closing Date
and (ii) any other transaction between the Issuer and the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates that
are permitted under the terms of this Indenture or the Collateral Management Agreement.
(m) Each beneficial owner of Class A-1R Note shall be deemed to have made the representations
set forth in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x) of Section 2.5(g) and
shall be deemed to have further represented and agreed as follows:
(1) The owner is one of the following:
(A) (a) a Qualified Purchaser; (b) a QIB; (c) is aware that the sale of
the Definitive Class A-1R Notes to it is being made in reliance on the
exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; (d) is acquiring the
Definitive Class A-1R Notes for its own account or for one or more accounts,
each of which is a QIB who is a Qualified Purchaser, and as to each of which
the owner exercises sole investment discretion and (e) is acquiring the
Definitive Class A-1R Notes in a minimum principal amount of not less than
U.S.$500,000 for each such account; or
(B) (a) not a U.S. Person; (b) a Qualified Purchaser; (c) is aware that
the sale of the Definitive Class A-1R Notes to it is being made
- 112 -
in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S
and (d) understands that the Definitive Class A-1R Notes offered in reliance
on Regulation S under the Securities Act will bear the additional legend set
forth under “—Regulation S Global Notes” above;
and in each case the owner has such knowledge and experience in financial
and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
its investment in the Definitive Class A-1R Notes and the owner and any
accounts for which it is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of
the investment.
(2) Before any interest in a Definitive Class A-1R Note may be offered, resold,
pledged or otherwise transferred, the transferee or transferor shall be required to
provide the Trustee with a written certification substantially in the form provided
in the Class A-1R Note Purchase Agreement as to compliance with the transfer
restrictions and the owner must inform a prospective transferee of the transfer
restrictions.
Section 2.6. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Note.
If (a) any mutilated or defaced Note is surrendered to a Transfer Agent, or if there shall be
delivered to the Issuer, the Trustee and the relevant Transfer Agent (each a “Specified
Person”) evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Note, and (b) there is delivered to the Specified Person such security or indemnity as may be
required by each Specified Person to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless (an
unsecured indemnity agreement delivered to the Trustee by an institutional investor with a net
worth of at least $200,000,000 being deemed sufficient to satisfy such security or indemnity

Section 5.1(b) until the Payment Date on which such principal may be paid in accordance
with the Priority of Payments or all of the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes,
the Class D Notes, the Class E Notes, the Class F Notes, the Class G Notes, the Class H Notes and
the Class J Notes have been paid in full.
The Class A-1R Commitments shall remain outstanding until the occurrence of the Commitment
Termination Time. Prior to the Commitment Termination Time and the expiration of the Class A-1R
Commitments, amounts that would otherwise be payable to any Class of Notes subordinate to the Class
A-1R Notes will be deposited into the Class A-1R Suspense Account up to the Required Class A-1R
Suspense Deposit and applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments, Section 10.7 and
Section 18.
- 122 -
(q) As a condition to the payment of principal of and interest on any Note without the
imposition of U.S. withholding tax, the Issuer shall require certification acceptable to it to
enable the Issuer, the Trustee, the Owner Trustee and/or the Paying Agent to determine their duties
and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to deduct or
withhold from payments in respect of such Security under any present or future law or regulation of
the United States or any present or future law or regulation of any political subdivision thereof
or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such
law or regulation.
(r) Payments in respect of interest on and principal of the Notes shall be payable by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by the Holder or its
nominee; provided that the Holder has provided wiring instructions to the Trustee on or before the
related Record Date or, if wire transfer cannot be effected, by a Dollar check drawn on a bank in
the United States, or by a Dollar check mailed to the Holder at its address in the Notes Register.
The Issuer expects that the Depository or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal or
interest in respect of a Global Security held by the Depository or its nominee, shall immediately
credit the applicable Agent Members’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to the
respective beneficial interests in such Global Security as shown on the records of the Depository
or its nominee. The Issuer also expects that payments by Agent Members to owners of beneficial
interests in such Global Security held through Agent Members will be governed by standing
instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of
customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the
responsibility of the Agent Members. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of a Note, the Holder
thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at
the office of the Paying Agent (outside of the United States if then required by applicable law in
the case of a Certificated Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S
Global Security) on or prior to such Maturity. None of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Paying Agent
will have any responsibility or liability with respect to any records maintained by the Holder of
any Note with respect to the beneficial holders thereof or payments made thereby on account of
beneficial interests held therein. In the case where any final payment of principal and interest
is to be made on any Note (other than on the Stated Maturity thereof) the Issuer or, upon Issuer
Request, the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer shall, not more than 30 nor
fewer than five Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, mail to the
Persons entitled thereto at their addresses appearing on the Notes Register, a notice which shall
state the date on which such payment will be made and the amount of such payment per $500,000
initial principal amount of Notes and shall specify the place where such Notes may be presented and
surrendered for such payment.
(s) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.7(a) through (l) hereof, Holders
of Notes as of the Record Date in respect of a Payment Date shall be entitled to the interest
accrued and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments and principal payable in accordance
with the Priority of Payments on such Payment Date. All such payments that are mailed or wired and
returned to the Paying Agent shall be held for payment as herein provided at the office or agency
of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2 (or returned to the Trustee).
- 123 -
(t) Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more predecessor Notes)
is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest.
(u) Payments of principal to Noteholders of each Class shall be made in the proportion that
the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes of such Class registered in the name of each such
Holder on such Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Notes of such Class on
such Record Date.
(v) Interest accrued with respect to the Notes shall be calculated as described in the
applicable form of Note attached hereto.
(w) All reductions in the principal amount of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes)
effected by payments of installments of principal made on any Payment Date, Redemption Date or upon
Maturity shall be binding upon all future Holders of such Note and of any Note issued upon the
registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such
payment is noted on such Note.
(x) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, the obligations of
the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture are non-recourse obligations of the Issuer payable
solely from the Assets and following realization of the Assets, any claims of the Noteholders or
the Trustee shall be extinguished. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in
respect of the Notes against any Officer, director, employee, shareholder, limited partner or
incorporator of the Issuer or any of its respective successors or assigns for any amounts payable
under the Notes or this Indenture. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Assets for the sums due or to become due under any
security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Assets or (ii) constitute a waiver, release
or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Notes or secured by this Indenture
(to the extent it relates to the obligation to make payments on the Notes) until such Assets have
been realized, whereupon any outstanding indebtedness or obligation in respect of the Notes shall
be extinguished. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall
not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any Proceeding or in
the exercise of any other remedy under the Notes or this Indenture, so long as no judgment in the
nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained)
enforced against any such Person or entity.
(y) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, each Note delivered under
this Indenture and upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note
shall carry the rights of unpaid interest and principal that were carried by such other Note.
(z) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions with respect to payments of principal of
and interest on the Notes (but subject to Section 2.7(n)), if the Notes have become or been
declared due and payable following an Event of Default and such acceleration of Maturity and its
consequences have not been rescinded and annulled and the provisions of
- 124 -
Section 5.5 are not applicable, then payments of principal of and interest on such
Notes shall be made in accordance with Section 5.7 hereof.
(aa) Payments in respect of the Certificate as contemplated by Sections 11.1(a)(i)(32)
and 11.1(a)(ii)(18) shall be made by the Trustee to the Owner Trustee.
Section 2.8. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Issuer, the Trustee, and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat as the owner of
a Note the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Notes Register on the applicable
Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest and other amounts on
such Note and on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever (whether or not such Note is
overdue), and none of the Issuer or the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary; provided, however, that the Depository, or its nominee, shall
be deemed the owner of the Global Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in Global
Securities will not be considered the owners of any Notes for the purpose of receiving notices.
With respect to the Certificate, on any Payment Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Owner
Trustee the distributions thereon for distribution to the Certificateholder.
Section 2.9. Cancellation.
All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption, or deemed
lost or stolen, shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the
Trustee, and shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee and may not be reissued or resold. No Notes
shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this
Section 2.9, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes held by
the Trustee shall be destroyed or held by the Trustee in accordance with its standard retention
policy unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that they be returned to them.
Section 2.10. Global Securities; Temporary Notes.
(a) In the event that the Depository notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depository for a Global Security or if at any time such Depository ceases to be a
“Clearing Agency” registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depository is not appointed by
the Issuer within ninety (90) days of such notice, the Global Securities deposited with the
Depository pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall be transferred to the beneficial owners
thereof subject to the procedures and conditions set forth in this Section 2.10.
(b) Any Global Security that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to
Section 2.10(a) above shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Trustee’s Corporate
Trust Office together with necessary instruction for the registration and delivery of Class A-1A
Notes, Class A-1R Notes, Class A-2A Notes, Class A-2B Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes, Class D
Notes, Class E Notes, Class F Notes, Class G Notes and Class H Notes in definitive registered form
without interest coupons to the beneficial owners (or such owner’s nominee) holding the ownership
interests in such Global Security. Any such transfer shall be made, without charge, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Security,
an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of the
- 125 -
same Class and authorized denominations. Any Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for an
interest in a Global Security shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.5(f), bear
the applicable legend set forth in Exhibit A or B, as applicable, and shall be
subject to the transfer restrictions referred to in such applicable legend. The Holder of each
such registered individual Global Security may transfer such Global Security by surrendering it at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or at the office of the Paying Agent or Irish Paying
Agent.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(b) above, the registered Holder of a
Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and
Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is
entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.
(d) In the event of the occurrence of either of the events specified in Section
2.10(a) above, the Issuer shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of
Certificated Notes.
Pending the preparation of Certificated Notes pursuant to this Section 2.10, the
Issuer may execute and, upon Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary
Class A-1A Notes, Class A-1R Notes, Class A-2A Notes, Class A-2B Notes, Class B Notes, Class C
Notes, Class D Notes, Class E Notes, Class F Notes Class G Notes, Class H Notes, Class J Notes or
Class K Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise reproduced, in
any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Certificated Notes in lieu of which
they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations
as the Officers executing such Certificated Notes may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their
execution of such Certificated Notes.
If temporary Certificated Notes are issued, the Issuer shall cause permanent Certificated
Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. The Certificated Notes shall be printed,
lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, or provided by any combination thereof, or in
any other manner permitted by the rules and regulations of any applicable notes exchange, all as
determined by the Officers executing such Certificated Notes. After the preparation of
Certificated Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Certificated Notes upon surrender
of the applicable temporary Class A-1A Notes, Class A-1R Notes, Class A-2A Notes, Class A-2B Notes,
Class B Notes, Class C Notes, Class D Notes, Class E Notes, Class F Notes, Class G Notes, Class H
Notes, Class J Notes or Class K Notes at the office or agency maintained by the Issuer for such
purpose, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Class A-1A Notes, Class A-1R Notes, Class A-2A Notes, Class A-2B Notes, Class B Notes,
Class C Notes, Class D Notes, Class E Notes, Class F Notes, Class G Notes, Class H Notes, Class J
Notes or Class K Notes, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
in exchange therefor the same aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized
denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Class A-1A Notes, Class A-1R Notes, Class A-2A
Notes, Class A-2B Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes, Class D Notes, Class E Notes, Class F Notes,
Class G Notes, Class H Notes, Class J Notes or Class K Notes shall in all respects be entitled to
the same benefits under this Indenture as Certificated Notes.
- 126 -
Section 2.11. U.S. Tax Treatment of Notes.
(a) The Issuer intends that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Notes (other than the
Class K Notes) be treated as debt of the Issuer. Each prospective purchaser and any subsequent
transferee of a Note (other than the Class K Notes) or any interest therein shall, by virtue of its
purchase or other acquisition of such Note or interest therein, be deemed to have agreed to treat
such Note as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
(b) It is the intent of the Trust Depositor, the CLO Servicer, the Holders of the Class K
Notes and the Certificateholder that, in the event that the Certificate and the Class K Notes are
owned by a single Holder, for federal income tax purposes, the Issuer will be treated as a division
of such Holder, and such Holder, by acceptance of the Certificate and the Class K Notes, agrees to
take no action inconsistent with such treatment.
(c) Each Holder of Notes shall timely furnish to the Issuer or its agents any U.S. federal
income tax form or certification (such as IRS Form W-8BEN (Certification of Foreign Status of
Beneficial Owner) (with Part III marked), IRS Form W-8IMY (Certification of Foreign Intermediary
Status), IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification), or IRS Form
W-8ECI (Certification of Foreign Person’s Claim for Exemption from Withholding on Income
Effectively Connected with Conduct of a U.S. Trade or Business) or any successors to such IRS forms
that the Issuer or its agents may reasonable request and shall update or replace such forms or
certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments.
Section 2.12. Authenticating Agents.
Upon the request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall, and if the Trustee so chooses the Trustee
may pursuant to this Indenture, appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with power to act on its
behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance,
transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 8.5
hereof, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been
expressly authorized by such Sections to authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of this
Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section
2.12 shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes by the Trustee.
Any corporation or banking association into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or banking association resulting
from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or
any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be
the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any
further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor
corporation. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of
resignation to the Trustee and the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any
Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the
Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Trustee shall
promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment
to the Issuer.
- 127 -
The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent appointed by it from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services, and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating
thereto and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to
Section 6.7 hereof. The provisions of Sections 2.9, 6.4 and 6.5
hereof shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.
Section 2.13. Forced Sale on Failure to Comply with Restrictions.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture, any transfer of an
Offered Note or interest therein to a U.S. Person who is determined not to have been both a QIB and
a Qualified Purchaser or to a non- U.S. Person who is determined not to have been a Qualified
Purchaser at the time of acquisition of the Offered Note or interest therein shall be null and void
and any such proposed transfer of which the Issuer or the Trustee shall have notice may be
disregarded by the Issuer and the Trustee for all purposes.
(b) If the Issuer determines that any Noteholder has not satisfied the applicable requirement
described in Section 2.13(a) above (any such person a “Non-Permitted Holder”), then
the Issuer shall promptly after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted Holder by the Issuer
or the Trustee (and notice by the Trustee to the Issuer, if either of them makes the discovery),
send notice to such Non-Permitted Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted Holder transfer its
interest to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted Holder within 30 days of the date of such notice.
If such Non-Permitted Holder fails to so transfer its Offered Note or interest therein, the Issuer
shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such Offered Note
or interest therein to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted Holder on
such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer, or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Issuer,
may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market
professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Offered Note, and selling such
Offered Note to the highest such bidder. However, the Issuer or the Trustee may select a purchaser
by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of such Offered Note, the
Non-Permitted Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the
Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Offered Note, agrees to cooperate
with the Issuer and the Trustee to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any
commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the
Non-Permitted Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this Section 2.13(b)
shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and the Issuer shall not be liable to any
Person having an interest in the Offered Note sold as a result of any such sale of exercise of such
discretion.

(as such term is defined in the UCC) to the extent that any such uncertificated
securities do not constitute Financial Assets forming the basis of Security
Entitlements by the Trustee pursuant to clause (i) (the “Uncertificated
Securities”), by the Issuer (A) causing the issuer(s) of such Uncertificated
Securities to register on their respective books the Trustee as the registered owner
thereof upon original issue or transfer thereof or (B) causing another Person, other
than a Securities Intermediary, either to become the registered owner of such
Uncertificated Securities on behalf of the Trustee, or such Person having previously
become the registered owner, to acknowledge that it holds such Uncertificated
Securities for the Trustee;
(iii) in the case of Pledged Obligations consisting of Certificated Securities
in registered form to the extent that any such Certificated Securities do not

Issuer (A) causing (1) the Trustee to obtain possession of such Registered
Securities in the State of Minnesota or (2) another Person, other than a Securities

the State of Minnesota to acknowledge that it holds such Bearer Securities for the
Trustee;
(v) in the case of Pledged Obligations that consist of Money or Instruments
(the “Minnesota Collateral”), to the extent that any such Minnesota
Collateral does not constitute a Financial Asset forming the basis of a Security
Entitlement acquired by the Trustee pursuant to clause (i), by the Issuer causing
(A) the Trustee to acquire possession of such Minnesota Collateral in the State of
Minnesota or (B) another Person (other than the Issuer or a Person controlling,
controlled by, or under common control with, the Issuer) (1) to (x) take possession
of such Minnesota Collateral in the State of Minnesota and (y) authenticate a record
acknowledging that it holds such possession for the benefit of the Trustee or (2) to
(x) authenticate a record acknowledging that it will hold possession of such
Minnesota Collateral for the benefit of the Trustee and (y) take possession of such
Minnesota Collateral in the State of Minnesota;

Trustee in such Accounts Receivable and causing the Securities Intermediary to
credit such Accounts Receivable to the Custodial Account and to treat such Accounts
Receivable as Financial Assets within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC and (B) to
the extent that doing so would be effective to perfect a security interest in such
Accounts Receivable under the UCC as in effect at the time of transfer of such
Accounts Receivable to the Trustee hereunder, filing or causing the filing of a UCC
financing statement that encompasses such Accounts Receivable with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware and such other offices as applicable; and
(vii) to the maximum extent reasonably possible, in the case of any Loans,
Preferred Equity Securities or Participations that are not evidenced by Instruments,

Loan, Participation or Preferred Equity Security, as applicable) to make the
Custodial Securities Intermediary the registered owner thereof, (B) causing the
Custodial Securities Intermediary to credit such Loans, Participations or Preferred
Equity Securities, as applicable, to the Custodial Account and to treat such Loans,

be effective to perfect a security interest in
- 134 -
such Loans, Participations or Preferred Equity Securities, as applicable, under
the UCC as in effect at the time of transfer of such Loans, Participations or
Preferred Equity Securities to the Trustee hereunder, filing or causing the filing
of a UCC financing statement that encompasses such Loans, Participations or

effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the Assets described in this
Indenture.
(c) Without limiting the foregoing, the Issuer and the Trustee on behalf of the Bank agree,
and the Bank shall cause the Custodial Securities Intermediary, to take such different or
additional action as the Trustee may reasonably request in order to maintain the perfection and
priority of the security interest of the Trustee in the event of any change in applicable law or
regulation, including Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC and Treasury Regulations governing transfers of
interests in Government Items (it being understood that the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon
an Opinion of Counsel, including an Opinion of Counsel delivered in accordance with Section
3.1(c), as to the need to file any financing statements or continuation statements, the dates

the Issuer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Custodial Securities

Issuer or the Collateral Manager) and as to which the Trustee or Collateral Manager,
as applicable, shall have reasonably determined to be necessary or appropriate for

Management Agreement or for the protection of the security interest of the Trustee
under this Indenture;

Securities Intermediary shall, upon delivery by the Collateral Manager of a duly
completed Request for Release in the form of Exhibit G hereto, release to

disposition, in each case only as permitted under this Indenture, of the related
Collateral Obligation that is consummated within such 20-day period).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (iv), (A) any note,

Pledged Collateral Obligation that is permitted in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture or (2) presentation, collection, renewal or registration of transfer of
such Collateral Obligation and (B) the Custodial Securities Intermediary may refuse
to honor any Request for Release following the occurrence of an Event of Default
under this Indenture.

as hereinafter provided in this Article 5, a Majority of each and every Class of Offered
Notes (voting as a separate Class), by written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee and each Hedge
Counterparty, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
(i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:
(A) all unpaid installments of interest on and principal of the Notes
and, in the case of the Class A-1R Notes, the Class A-1R Commitment Fee that
would be due and payable hereunder if the Event of Default giving rise to
such acceleration had not occurred;
- 143 -
(B) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on
the Class C Capitalized Interest at the Class C Rate, interest on the Class
D Capitalized Interest at the Class D Rate, interest on the Class E
Capitalized Interest at the Class E Rate, interest on the Class F
Capitalized Interest at the Class F Rate, interest on the Class G
Capitalized Interest at the Class G Rate, interest on the Class H
Capitalized Interest at the Class H Rate and interest on the Class J
Capitalized Interest at the Class J Rate;
(C) all unpaid taxes of the Issuer, Company Administrative Expenses and
other sums paid or advanced by or otherwise due and payable to the Trustee
hereunder;
(D) with respect to each Hedge Agreement, any amount then due and
payable thereunder; and
(E) with respect to the Collateral Management Agreement, any Senior
Collateral Management Fee then due and any Company Administrative Expense
due and payable to the Collateral Manager thereunder.
(ii) if any Hedge Agreement has been reduced or terminated, the Rating Agency
Condition has been satisfied with respect to such reduction or termination; and
(iii) the Trustee has determined that all Events of Default of which it has
actual knowledge, other than the non-payment of the interest and principal on the
Notes that have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured and a
Majority of the Controlling Class, by written notice to the Trustee and each Hedge
Counterparty has agreed with such determination (which agreement shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) or waived as provided in Section 5.14.
At any such time that the Trustee shall rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences as permitted hereinabove, the Trustee shall preserve the Assets in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.5 with respect to the Event of Default that gave rise to such
declaration; provided, however, that if such preservation of the Assets is rescinded pursuant to
Section 5.5, the Notes may be accelerated pursuant to the first paragraph of this
Section 5.2, notwithstanding any previous rescission and annulment of a declaration of
acceleration pursuant to this paragraph.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
In addition, no such rescission shall affect any Hedge Agreement if it has been terminated in
accordance with its terms.
The Trustee shall promptly notify each Rating Agency of any acceleration or rescission of
acceleration pursuant to this Article 5.
- 144 -
(e) Subject to Sections 5.4 and 5.5, a Majority of the Controlling Class shall
have the right to direct the Trustee in the conduct of any proceedings for any remedy available to
the Trustee; provided that (i) such direction will not conflict with any rule of law or this
Indenture (including the limitations described in this Section 5); (ii) the Trustee may
take any other action not inconsistent with such direction; (iii) the Trustee has been provided
with an indemnity or reasonable security satisfactory to it (and the Trustee need not take any
action that it determines might involve it in liability unless it has received such indemnity or
security against such liability); and (iv) any direction to undertake a sale of the Assets may be
made only as described in Section 5.17. The Trustee shall provide written notice of the
receipt of such direction to each Hedge Counterparty promptly after receipt thereof.
(f) As security for the payment by the Issuer of the compensation and expenses of the Trustee
and any sums the Trustee may be entitled to receive as indemnification by the Issuer, the Issuer
hereby grants the Trustee a lien on the Assets, which lien is senior to the lien of the
Noteholders. The Trustee’s lien shall be subject to the Priority of Payments and exercisable by the
Trustee only if the Notes have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and such
acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled.
(g) A Majority of each Class of Notes (each voting as a separate class), may, prior to the
time a judgment or decree for the payment of money due has been obtained by the Trustee, waive any
past Default on behalf of the holders of all the Notes and its consequences in accordance with
Section 5.14.
(h) In determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of Notes have given any
direction, notice or consent hereunder, (i) Notes owned by the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof
shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding and (ii) in relation to (x) any amendment or
other modification of, or assignment or termination of, any of the express rights or obligations of
the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement or this Indenture (including the
exercise of any rights to remove the Collateral Manager or terminate the Collateral Management
Agreement or approve or object to a replacement for the Collateral Manager except as specifically
provided in the Collateral Management Agreement with respect to the termination of the Collateral
Manager without cause and with respect to the replacement of the Collateral Manager) and (y) the
exercise by the Noteholders of their right, in connection with certain Events of Default, to
accelerate amounts due under the Notes, Notes owned by the Collateral Manager or any of its
Affiliates, or by any accounts managed by them, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be
outstanding. The Collateral Manager and its Affiliates shall be entitled to vote Notes held by
them, and by accounts managed by them, with respect to all other matters other than those described
in clause (ii).

If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own

so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree,
- 147 -
and may enforce the same against the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect
the Monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Assets.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to
protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate Proceedings as
the Trustee shall deem most effectual (if no direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class is
received by the Trustee), or the Trustee shall proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the
rights of the Noteholders by such Proceedings as the Trustee may be directed by Majority of the
Controlling Class, to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein,
or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this
Indenture or by law.
In case there shall be pending Proceedings relative to the Issuer under the Bankruptcy Code or
any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee
or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have
been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer, or their respective property, or in case of
any other comparable Proceedings relative to the Issuer, or the creditors or property of the
Issuer, the Trustee, regardless of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable
as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and regardless of whether the Trustee shall
have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.3, shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest and the
Class A-1R Commitment Fee owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including
any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their
respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities
incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of
negligence or bad faith) and of the Noteholders allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer
or other obligor upon the Notes or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other
obligor;
(b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Noteholders
in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or
other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or Person performing similar functions in comparable
Proceedings; and
(c) to collect and receive any Monies or other property payable to or deliverable on any such
claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of
the Trustee on their behalf; and any trustee, receiver or liquidator, custodian or other similar
official is hereby authorized by each of the Noteholders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in
the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Noteholders, to
pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the
Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other
reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all
- 148 -
advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of its own
negligence or bad faith.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to
or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder, any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or
to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such Proceeding
except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.
All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes,
may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof
in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any action or Proceedings instituted by the
Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of
judgment, shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7.
In any Proceedings brought by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders, the Trustee shall be held
to represent all the Noteholders.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, the Trustee may not sell
or liquidate the Assets or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this
Section 5.3 unless the conditions specified in Section 5.5(a) are met.
Section 5.4. Remedies.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Notes have been
declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled, the Issuer agrees that the Trustee may, after notice to the Noteholders and each Hedge
Counterparty, and shall, upon direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, exercise one or more of the following rights, privileges and remedies:
(i) institute Proceedings for the collection of all amounts then payable on the
Notes or otherwise payable under this Indenture, whether by declaration or
otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Assets any Monies
adjudged due;
(ii) sell all or a portion of the Assets or rights of interest therein, at one
or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law
and in accordance with Section 5.17 hereof;
(iii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial
foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Assets;
(iv) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other
appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Trustee and
the Noteholders hereunder; and
- 149 -
(v) exercise any other rights and remedies that may be available at law or in
equity;
provided, however, that the Trustee may not sell or liquidate the Assets or institute
Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.4 unless either of the
conditions specified in Section 5.5(a) is met.
The Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment
banking firm of national reputation with demonstrated capabilities in structuring and distributing
notes or certificates similar to the Notes as to the feasibility of any action proposed to be taken
in accordance with this Section 5.4 and as to the sufficiency of the proceeds and other
amounts receivable with respect to the Assets to make the required payments of principal of and
interest on the Notes and other amounts payable hereunder, which opinion shall be conclusive
evidence as to such feasibility or sufficiency.
(b) If an Event of Default as described in Section 5.1(e) hereof shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Trustee may, and at the request of the Holders of not less than 25% of the
Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall, institute a Proceeding solely to
compel performance of the covenant or agreement or to cure the representation or warranty, the
breach of which gave rise to the Event of Default under such Section, and enforce any equitable
decree or order arising from such Proceeding.
(c) Upon any Sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial
proceedings, any Noteholder or Noteholders or Certificateholder or Certificateholders or the Seller
or the Collateral Manager or any of their Affiliates may bid for and purchase the Assets or any
part thereof and, upon compliance with the terms of Sale, may hold, retain, possess or dispose of
such property in its or their own absolute right without accountability; and any purchaser at any
such Sale may, in paying the purchase Money, turn in any of the Notes in lieu of Cash equal to the
amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable on the Notes so
turned in by such Xxxxxx (taking into account the Class of such Notes). Such Notes, in case the
amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the
Holders thereof after proper notation has been made thereon to show partial payment.
Upon any Sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial
proceedings, the receipt of the Trustee or of the Officer making a sale under judicial proceedings
shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for its or their
purchase Money and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obliged to see to the application
thereof.
Any such Sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial
proceedings, shall bind the Issuer, the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholder, shall
operate to divest all right, title and interest whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of each of
them in and to the property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against
each of them and their successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming through or
under them.
- 150 -
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee may not, prior to the
date which is one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect
after the payment in full of all Notes, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting
against, the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or
liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under federal or State bankruptcy or similar laws.
Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Trustee (i) from
taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year and one day (or, if
longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) period in (A) any case or proceeding
voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or (B) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or
commenced by a Person other than the Trustee, or (ii) from commencing against the Issuer or any of
their respective properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceeding.
Section 5.5. Preservation of Assets.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing when any of the Notes are Outstanding, the Trustee shall retain the
Assets securing the Notes, collect and cause the collection of the proceeds thereof and make and
apply all payments and deposits and maintain all accounts in respect of the Assets and the Notes in
accordance with the Priority of Payments and the provisions of Articles 10, 12 and
13 unless either:
(i) the Trustee, pursuant to Section 5.5(c), determines that the
anticipated proceeds of a sale or liquidation of the Assets (after deducting the
reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation) would be sufficient to discharge in
full the amounts then due and unpaid on the Securities (including the Class A-1R
Commitment Fees and the Class A-1R Breakage Costs), Company Administrative Expenses
due and payable pursuant to clauses (3) and (31) of Section 11.1(a)(i) and
clauses (1) and (13) of Section 11.1(a)(ii), the Senior Collateral
Management Fees due and payable pursuant to clause (4) of Section
11.1(a)(i), the Subordinate Collateral Management Fees due and payable pursuant
to clause (32) of Section 11.1(a)(i), any amounts due and unpaid to each
Hedge Counterparty, including without limitation, any payments (however described)
due and payable by the Issuer under each Hedge Agreement upon a termination of such
Hedge Agreement (including any interest that may accrue thereon) and amounts due and
payable to the Advancing Agent and the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing
Agent, in respect of unreimbursed Interest Advances and Reimbursement Interest and
amounts due and payable to the Collateral Manager in respect of unreimbursed Cure
Advances, and a Majority of the Controlling Class agrees with such determination; or
(ii) (I) the Holders of 66-2/3% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each
Class of Notes (voting together), direct, subject to the provisions of this
Indenture, the sale and liquidation of the Assets, or (II) in the case of an Event
of Default under clause (i) above, 66-2/3% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of
the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes (voting together).
- 151 -
The Trustee shall give written notice of the retention of the Assets to the Issuer, the
Collateral Manager, each Hedge Counterparty and the Rating Agencies. So long as such Event of
Default is continuing, any such retention pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) may be rescinded
at any time when the conditions specified in clause (i) or (ii) above exist.
(b) Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee to
sell the Assets securing the Notes if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5(a) are not
satisfied. Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee
to preserve the Assets securing the Notes if prohibited by applicable law.
(c) In determining whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the
Collateral Manager shall obtain bid prices with respect to each Pledged Collateral Obligation from
two dealers (Independent of the Collateral Manager and any of its Affiliates) at the time making a
market in such Pledged Collateral Obligations (or, if there is only one market maker, then the
Collateral Manager shall obtain a bid price from that market maker or, if no market maker, from a
pricing service). The Collateral Manager shall compute the anticipated proceeds of sale or
liquidation on the basis of the lowest of such bid prices for each such Pledged Collateral
Obligation. For the purposes of determining issues relating to the Market Value of the Pledged
Collateral Obligation and the execution of a sale or other liquidation thereof, the Trustee may,
but need not, retain at the expense of the Issuer and rely on an opinion of an Independent
investment banking firm of national reputation in connection with a determination (notwithstanding
that such opinion will not be the basis for such determination) as to whether the condition
specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists.
The Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Noteholders and each Hedge Counterparty a report
stating the results of any determination required to be made pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i).
The Trustee shall make the determinations required by Section 5.5(a)(i) within 30 days
after an Event of Default if requested by the required percentage of the Controlling Class.
Section 5.6. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.
All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or under any of the Notes may be
prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production
thereof in any trial or other Proceeding relating thereto, and any such action or Proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust. Any
recovery of judgment in respect of the Notes shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7
hereof.
In any Proceedings brought by the Trustee (and any Proceedings involving the interpretation of
any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party), in respect of the Notes,
the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Noteholders.
Section 5.7. Application of Money Collected.
Any Money collected by the Trustee with respect to the Notes pursuant to this Article
5 and any Money that may then be held or thereafter received by the Trustee with respect
- 152 -
to the Notes hereunder shall be applied subject to Section 13.1 hereof and in
accordance with the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 11.1 hereof, at the date or
dates fixed by the Trustee.
Section 5.8. Limitation on Suits.
No Holder of any Notes shall have any right to institute any Proceedings, judicial or
otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for
any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(a) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default;
(b) except as otherwise provided in Section 5.9 hereof, the Holders of at least 25% of
the then Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall have made written request to
the Trustee to institute Proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee
hereunder and such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the
costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;
(c) the Trustee for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity
has failed to institute any such Proceeding; and
(d) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during
such 30 day period by a Majority of the Controlling Class; it being understood and intended that no
one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by
availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any
other Holders of Notes of the same Class or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference
over any other Noteholders of the same Class or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except
in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Notes of
the same Class subject to and in accordance with Section 13.1 hereof and the Priority of
Payments.
In the event the Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from
two or more groups of Holders of the Controlling Class, each representing less than a Majority of
the Controlling Class, the Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall
be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.
Section 5.9. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest and the
Class A-1R Commitment Fee.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture (except for Section 2.7(p) and
2.7(v)), the Holder of any Class of Note shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest (and the Class A-1R Commitment
Fee, as applicable) on such Class of Note as such principal, interest (and the Class A-1R
Commitment Fee, as applicable) and other amounts become due and payable in accordance with the
Priority of Payments and Section 13.1, and, subject to the provisions of Section
5.4(d) and Section 5.8 to institute Proceedings for the enforcement of any such
payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder; provided,
however, that the right of
- 153 -
such Holder to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment shall not be
subject to the 25% threshold requirement set forth in Section 5.8(b).
Section 5.10. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy
under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has
been determined adversely to the Trustee, or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the
Issuer, the Trustee, and the Noteholder shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be
restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights
and remedies of the Trustee, and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had
been instituted.
Section 5.11. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, or to the Noteholders, is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 5.12. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Trustee, or of any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of
any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein or a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default.
Every right and remedy given by this Article 5 or by law to the Trustee, or to the
Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee, or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.
Section 5.13. Control by the Controlling Class.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing when any of the Notes are Outstanding, a Majority of the Controlling
Class shall have the right to cause the institution of and direct the time, method and place of
conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee for exercising any trust, right,
remedy or power conferred on the Trustee in respect of the Notes; provided that:
(a) such direction shall not conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;
(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not
inconsistent with such direction; provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the
Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability (unless the
Trustee has received satisfactory indemnity against such liability as set forth below);
(c) the Trustee shall have been provided with indemnity satisfactory to it; and
- 154 -
(d) except as otherwise set forth in Section 5.5, any direction to the Trustee to
undertake a Sale of the Assets shall be by the Holders of Notes secured thereby representing a
Majority of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each Class of Notes.
Section 5.14. Waiver of Past Defaults.
Prior to the time a judgment or decree for payment of the Money due has been obtained by the
Trustee, as provided in this Article 5, a Majority of each and every Class of Notes voting
as a separate Class may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past Default in respect
of the Notes and its consequences, except a Default:
(a) in the payment of principal of any Note;
(b) in the payment of interest in respect of the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes and any
other Class of Notes (to the extent such Class of Notes is the Controlling Class at such time);
(c) in the payment of the Class A-1R Commitment Fee in respect of the Class A-1R Notes;
(d) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Section 8.2 cannot be
modified or amended without the waiver or consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note adversely
affected thereby; or
(e) in respect of any covenant or provision hereof for the individual protection or benefit of
the Trustee (without the Trustee’s express written consent thereto).
In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee, and the Noteholders shall be restored
to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto. The Trustee shall promptly
give written notice of any such waiver to the Collateral Manager, each Noteholder and each Hedge
Counterparty.
Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 5.15. Undertaking for Costs.
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof
shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any
action taken, or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party
litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by
the
- 155 -
Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the
aggregate more than 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, or to any
suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or
interest, or the Class A-1R Commitment Fee, as applicable, on any Note or any other amount payable
hereunder on or after the Stated Maturity (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
applicable Redemption Date).
Section 5.16. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time
insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the
covenants, the performance of or any remedies under this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent
that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and
covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had
been enacted.
Section 5.17. Sale of Assets.
(a) The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Assets pursuant to
Sections 5.4 and 5.5 hereof shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to
any portion of such Assets remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until all amounts
secured by the Assets shall have been paid or if there are insufficient proceeds to pay such amount
until the entire Assets shall have been sold. The Trustee may upon notice to the Securityholders
and each Hedge Counterparty, and shall, upon direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, from
time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale;
provided, however, that if the Sale is rescheduled for a date more than three Business Days after
the date of the determination by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof, such Sale
shall not occur unless and until the Trustee has again made the determination required by
Section 5.5 hereof. The Trustee hereby expressly waives its rights to any amount fixed by
law as compensation for any Sale; provided that the Trustee shall be authorized to deduct the
reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by it in connection with such Sale from the
proceeds thereof notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7 hereof.
(b) The Trustee may bid for and acquire any portion of the Assets in connection with a public
Sale thereof, and may pay all or part of the purchase price by crediting against amounts owing on
the Notes or other amounts secured by the Assets, all or part of the net proceeds of such Sale
after deducting the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection
with such Sale notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7 hereof. The Notes need not be
produced in order to complete any such Sale, or in order for the net proceeds of such Sale to be
credited against amounts owing on the Notes. The Trustee may hold, lease, operate, manage or
otherwise deal with any property so acquired in any manner permitted by law in accordance with this
Indenture.
(c) If any portion of the Assets consists of securities issued without registration under the
Securities Act (“Unregistered Securities”), the Trustee may seek an
- 156 -
Opinion of Counsel, or, if no such Opinion of Counsel can be obtained and with the consent of
a Majority of the Controlling Class, seek a no action position from the Securities and Exchange
Commission or any other relevant federal or State regulatory authorities, regarding the legality of
a public or private Sale of such Unregistered Securities. In no event shall the Trustee be
required to register Unregistered Securities under the Securities Act.
(d) The Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring
its interest in any portion of the Assets in connection with a Sale thereof. In addition, the
Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney in fact of the Issuer to transfer
and convey its interest in any portion of the Assets in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take
all action necessary to effect such Sale. No purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound
to ascertain the Trustee’s authority, to inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent
or see to the application of any Monies.
(e) In the event of any Sale of the Assets pursuant to Section 5.4 or Section
5.5, payments shall be made in the order and priority set forth in Section 11.1(a)(i)
and Section 11.1(a)(ii) in the same manner as if the Notes had been accelerated.
Section 5.18. Action on the Notes.
The Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall
not be affected by the seeking or obtaining of or application for any other relief under or with
respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the
Trustee, or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Trustee
against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the
Assets or upon any of the assets of the Issuer.
ARTICLE 6.
THE TRUSTEE
Section 6.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
(ii) in the absence of manifest error, or bad faith on its part, the Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee
and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that in the
case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a
duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform to
the requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly, but in any event within three
Business Days in the case of an Officer’s Certificate furnished by the
- 157 -
Collateral Manager, notify the party delivering the same if such certificate or
opinion does not conform. If a corrected form shall not have been delivered to the
Trustee within 15 days after such notice from the Trustee, the Trustee shall so
notify the Noteholders.
(b) In case an Event of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the
Trustee shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from a Majority of the Controlling Class
(or other Noteholders to the extent provided in Article 5 hereof), exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its
exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
person’s own affairs.
(c) If, in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Trustee is required to decide
between alternative courses of action, the Trustee may request written instructions from the
Collateral Manager as to courses of action desired by it. If the Trustee does not receive such
instructions within two Business Days after it has requested them, it may, but shall be under no
duty to, take or refrain from taking such action. The Trustee shall act in accordance with
instructions received after such two-Business Day period except to the extent it has already taken,
or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions. The Trustee shall be
entitled to rely on the advice of legal counsel and Independent accountants in performing its
duties hereunder and be deemed to have acted in good faith if it acts in accordance with such
advice.
(d) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability
for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct or
bad faith, except that:
(i) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection
(a) of this Section 6.1;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Trust Officer, unless it shall be proven that the Trustee was negligent
in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
Issuer in accordance with this Indenture and/or the Controlling Class relating to
the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee in respect of any Note or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
the Trustee under this Indenture;
(iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk
its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers
contemplated hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it (if the amount of such funds or risk or liability does not
- 158 -
exceed the amount payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section
11.1(a)(i)(3) and Section 11.1(a)(ii)(1) net of the amounts specified in
Section 6.7(a)(i), the Trustee shall be deemed to be reasonably assured of
such repayment) unless such risk or liability relates to its ordinary services under
this Indenture, except where this Indenture provides otherwise; and
(v) the Trustee shall not be liable to the Noteholders for any action taken or
omitted by it at the direction of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the
Controlling Class and/or a Noteholder under circumstances in which such direction is
required or permitted by the terms of this Indenture.
(e) For all purposes under this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or
knowledge of any Event of Default described in Section 5.1(d), 5.1(f),
5.1(g) or 5.1(h) or any Default described in Section 5.1(e) unless a Trust
Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such an Event of
Default or Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and
such notice references, as applicable, the Notes generally, the Issuer, the Assets or this
Indenture. For purposes of determining the Trustee’s responsibility and liability hereunder,
whenever reference is made in this Indenture to such an Event of Default or a Default, such
reference shall be construed to refer only to such an Event of Default or Default of which the
Trustee is deemed to have notice as described in this Section 6.1.
(f) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating
to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(a), 6.1(b), 6.1(c), 6.1(d)
and 6.1(e).
(g) The Trustee shall, upon reasonable prior written notice to the Trustee, permit the Issuer,
the Collateral Manager or the Rating Agencies, during the Trustee’s normal business hours, to
examine all books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Trustee relating to the
Notes, to make copies and extracts therefrom (the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
making any such copies or extracts to be reimbursed to the Trustee by such Person) and to discuss
the Trustee’s actions, as such actions relate to the Trustee’s duties with respect to the Notes,
with the Trustee’s officers and employees responsible for carrying out the Trustee’s duties with
respect to the Notes.
(h) Within 10 days after the Closing Date in respect of the Initial Certification, and within
90 days after the Closing Date in respect of the Final Certification, the Trustee shall examine the
Collateral File (as such term is defined in the Collateral Obligations Purchase Agreements) in its
possession, and shall deliver to the Issuer and the Collateral Manager a certification (the
“Initial Certification” and the “Final Certification”, respectively, in the
respective forms set forth as Exhibit L and Exhibit M hereto), which may be in
electronic format (i) in the case of the Initial Certification, as to each Collateral Obligation
listed on Schedule E, except as may be specified in the schedule of exceptions to Collateral File
delivery attached thereto, to the effect that each promissory note, subordinate note or mezzanine
note has been endorsed or an allonge has been attached thereto as provided in the definition of
Collateral File (or, in the case of a Noteless Loan, a copy of the Loan Register, certified by an
Officer of
- 159 -
the party responsible for maintaining such Loan Register pursuant to the Underlying
Instruments, has been provided), and (ii) in the case of the Final Certification, as to each
Collateral Obligation listed on Schedule E, except as may be specified in the schedule of
exceptions to Collateral File delivery attached thereto, to the effect that: (A) all documents
pursuant to the definition of Collateral File required to be included in the Collateral File (to
the extent required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement), and with respect to all documents
specified in the other clauses of the definition of Collateral File to the extent actually known by
a responsible officer of the Trustee to be required pursuant to this Agreement, are in its
possession, (B) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been materially mutilated,
damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered, and such documents relate to such
Collateral Obligation and (C) each promissory note, subordinate note or mezzanine note has been
endorsed or an allonge has been attached thereto as provided in the definition of Collateral File
(or, in the case of a Noteless Loan, a copy of the Loan Register, certified by an Officer of the
Seller, has been provided). The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the accuracy or
veracity of any document in the Collateral File.

Promptly (and in no event later than three (3) Business Days) after the occurrence of any
Default known to the Trustee or after any declaration of acceleration has been made or delivered to
the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.2, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Collateral
Manager, the Class A-1R Note Agent, the Irish Paying Agent (for so long as any Notes other than
the Class A-1R Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange), each Hedge Counterparty and each
Rating Agency (for so long as any Class of Notes is Outstanding and rated by such Rating Agency),
to all Holders of Notes as their names and addresses appear on the Notes Register, notice of all
Defaults hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived.
Section 6.3. Certain Rights of Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1:
(a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any

faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate or (ii) be required to determine the value of
any Assets or funds hereunder or the cash flows projected to be received therefrom, the Trustee
may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely on reports of nationally recognized accountants,
investment bankers or other persons qualified to provide the information required to

(d) as a condition to the taking or omitting of any action by it hereunder, the Trustee may
consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and

good faith and in reliance thereon;
(e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise or to honor any of the rights or
powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Noteholders

security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might reasonably be
incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;
(f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated
in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, note or other paper documents, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may and, upon
the written direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class or of a Rating Agency, shall make such
further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit or as it shall be
directed and shall have received indemnification reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, and, the
Trustee shall be entitled, on reasonable prior notice to the Issuer and the Collateral Manager, to

verify compliance by the Collateral Manager with the terms hereof or the Collateral Management
Agreement, or to verify or independently determine the accuracy of information received by it from
the Collateral Manager (or from any selling institution, agent bank, trustee or similar source)
with respect to the Collateral Obligations.
Section 6.4. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes.
The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, other than the Certificate of Authentication
thereon, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility

with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Notes
Registrar or such other agent.
Section 6.6. Money Held in Trust.
Money held by the Trustee hereunder shall be held in trust to the extent required herein. The
Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any Money received by it hereunder except as
otherwise agreed upon with the Issuer and except to the extent of income or other gain on
investments which are deposits in or certificates of deposit of the Trustee in its commercial
capacity and income or other gain actually received by the Trustee on Eligible Investments. The
Trustee and/or its Affiliates may receive compensation in connection with the Trustee’s investment
of trust assets in certain Eligible Investment; provided that the Trustee shall reimburse the
Issuer for any losses incurred in investments in connection with which the Trustee or its
Affiliates receive compensation.
Section 6.7. Compensation and Reimbursement.
(a) The Issuer agrees:
(i) to pay the Trustee on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of
Payments reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which
compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust);
(ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee
(subject to any written agreement between the Issuer and the Trustee) in a timely
manner upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
(except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Interest Advances)
- 162 -
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this
Indenture (including securities transaction charges to the extent not waived due to
the Trustee’s receipt of payments from a financial institution with respect to
certain Eligible Investments, as specified by the Collateral Manager and the
reasonable compensation and expenses and disbursements of its agents and legal
counsel and of any accounting firm or investment banking firm employed by the
Trustee pursuant to Section 5.4, 5.5, 10.9 or 10.11
hereof, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to
its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith);
(iii) to indemnify the Trustee and its Officers, directors, employees and
agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on their part, arising
out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust,
including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or
duties hereunder; and
(iv) to pay the Trustee reasonable additional compensation together with its
expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) for any collection action taken
pursuant to Section 6.13 hereof.
(b) The Issuer may remit payment for such fees and expenses to the Trustee or, in the absence
thereof, the Trustee may from time to time deduct payment of its fees and expenses hereunder from
Monies on deposit in the Payment Account in accordance with the Priority of Payments.
(c) The Trustee in its capacity as Trustee, Paying Agent, Calculation Agent, Transfer Agent,
Custodial Securities Intermediary, Backup Advancing Agent and Notes Registrar, hereby agrees not to
cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer until at least one year and one day
or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect after the payment in full of all
Notes issued under this Indenture. This provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.
(d) The Trustee agrees that the payment of all amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to
sub-sections 6.7(a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iii) and (a)(iv) shall be
subject to the Priority of Payments, shall be payable only to the extent funds are available in
accordance with such Priority of Payments, shall be payable solely from the Assets and following
realization of the Assets, any such claims of the Trustee against the Issuer shall be extinguished.
The Trustee will have a lien upon the Assets to secure the payment of such payments to it in
accordance with the Priority of Payments; provided that the Trustee shall not institute any
proceeding for enforcement of such lien except in connection with an action taken pursuant to
Section 5.3 hereof for enforcement of the lien of this Indenture for the benefit of the
Noteholders.
The fees of the Trustee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve
30-day months; provided that for purposes of determining the amount of such fees that are due in
respect of any period longer or shorter than a calendar quarter, such fees
- 163 -
shall be pro-rated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in each period longer or
shorter than one calendar quarter, subject to the Trustee’s minimum annual fee. The Trustee shall
receive amounts pursuant to this Section 6.7 and Sections 11.1(a)(i) and
(ii) only to the extent that such payment is made in accordance with the Priority of
Payments and the failure to pay such amounts to the Trustee will not, by itself, constitute an
Event of Default. Subject to Section 6.9, the Trustee shall continue to serve as Trustee
under this Indenture notwithstanding the fact that the Trustee shall not have received amounts due
to it hereunder. No direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class shall affect the right of the
Trustee to collect amounts owed to it under this Indenture.
If on any Payment Date when any amount shall be payable to the Trustee pursuant to this
Indenture is not paid because there are insufficient funds available for the payment thereof, all
or any portion of such amount not so paid shall be deferred and payable on any later Payment Date
on which a fee shall be payable and sufficient funds are available therefor in accordance with the
Priority of Payments.
Section 6.8. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.
There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof, authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at

least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.8, the combined capital and surplus of
such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.8, it shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article 6.
Section 6.9. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Article 6 shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by
the successor Trustee under Section 6.10.
(b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer, the
Collateral Manager, the Class A-1R Note Agent, each Hedge Counterparty, the Noteholders and each
Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a
successor trustee or trustees by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by an Authorized
Officer of the Issuer, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee so resigning and one
copy to the successor Trustee or Trustees, together with a copy to each Noteholder, the Class A-1R
Note Agent, each Hedge Counterparty and the Collateral Manager; provided that such successor
Trustee shall be appointed only upon the written consent of a Majority of the Notes (or if there
are no Notes Outstanding, the Certificateholder) or, at any time

when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or when a successor Trustee has
been appointed pursuant to Section 6.10, by Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class. If
no successor Trustee shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor
Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice
of resignation, the resigning Trustee, the Controlling Class of Notes or any Holder of a Note, on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(c) The Trustee is subject to removal by act of a 66-2/3%, by outstanding principal balance,
of the Noteholders (or if there are no Notes Outstanding, the Certificateholder) or, at any time
when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or when a successor Trustee has been
appointed pursuant to Section 6.10, by Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class, upon
written notice delivered to the Trustee and to the Issuer.
(d) If at any time:
(i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.8 and shall
fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Holder; or
(ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or there shall be instituted
any proceeding pursuant to which it could be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent or a
receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any
public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;
then, in any such case (subject to Section 6.9(a)), (a) the Issuer, by Issuer Order,
subject to the written consent of each Hedge Counterparty, may remove the Trustee or (b) subject to
Section 5.15, a Majority of the Controlling Class or any Holder may, on behalf of himself
and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of

shall occur in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Issuer, by Issuer Order, subject to
the written consent of each Hedge Counterparty and the Collateral Manager, shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. If the Issuer shall fail to appoint a successor Trustee within 60 days after
such resignation, removal or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee
may be appointed by Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class delivered to the Issuer, the
Collateral Manager and the retiring Trustee. The successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith
upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede any successor
Trustee proposed by the Issuer. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Issuer
or a Majority of the Controlling Class and shall have accepted appointment in the manner
hereinafter provided, subject to Section 5.15, each Hedge Counterparty, the Controlling
Class or any Holder may, on behalf of itself or himself and all others similarly situated, petition

mail, postage prepaid, to each Rating Agency, each Hedge Counterparty, the Owner Trustee and to the
Noteholders as their names and addresses appear in the Notes Register. Each notice shall include
the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. If the Issuer
fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee,
the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Issuer.
Section 6.10. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Issuer, the Class A-1R Note Agent, each Hedge Counterparty, the Collateral Manager and the retiring
Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment. Upon delivery of the required instruments, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers,
trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Issuer or a Majority
of the Controlling Class or the Collateral Manager or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee
shall, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to
such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly
assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and Money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section
6.7(d). Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all
instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all
such rights, powers and trusts.
No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor shall be qualified and eligible under this Article 6 and (a) such successor shall
have long term debt rated within the four highest rating categories by each Rating Agency, and (b)
each Rating Agency has confirmed in writing that the employment of such successor would not
adversely affect the rating on the Notes.
Section 6.11. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Trustee.
Any corporation or banking association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or banking association resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under this Article 6, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any of the Notes have been authenticated,
but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or
consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so
authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such
Notes.
- 166 -
Section 6.12. Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee.
At any time or times, including for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any
jurisdiction in which any part of the Assets may at the time be located, the Issuer and the Trustee
shall have power to appoint, one or more Persons to act as co-trustee jointly with the Trustee of
all or any part of the Assets, with the power to file such proofs of claim and take such other
actions pursuant to Section 5.6 herein and to make such claims and enforce such rights of
action on behalf of the Noteholders as such Holders themselves may have the right to do, subject to
the other provisions of this Section 6.12.
The Issuer shall join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all
instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint a co-trustee. If the Issuer does not
join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by them of a request to do so, the
Trustee shall have power to make such appointment.
Should any written instrument from the Issuer be required by any co-trustee, so appointed,
more fully confirming to such co-trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such
instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer, as the case
may be. The Issuer agrees to pay (but only from and to the extent of the Assets) to the extent
funds are available therefor under subclauses (3) and (31) of Section 11.1(a)(i), for any
reasonable fees and expenses in connection with such appointment.
Every co-trustee, shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed
subject to the following terms:
(a) the Notes shall be authenticated and delivered and all rights, powers, duties and
obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, Xxxx and other personal property
held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised
solely by the Trustee;
(b) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Trustee in
respect of any property covered by the appointment of a co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed
upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee jointly in the
case of the appointment of a co-trustee as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such
co-trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act
is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which
event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by a co-trustee;
(c) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence
of the Issuer evidenced by an Issuer Order, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee
appointed under this Section 6.12, and in case an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Trustee shall have the power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such
co-trustee without the concurrence of the Issuer. A successor to any co-trustee so resigned or
removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section 6.12;
(d) no co-trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the
Trustee hereunder;
- 167 -
(e) the Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any act or omission of a co-trustee; and
(f) any Act of Securityholders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered
to each co-trustee.
Section 6.13. Certain Duties of Trustee Related to Delayed Payment of Proceeds.
In the event that in any month the Trustee shall not have received a Scheduled Distribution,
(a) the Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Collateral Manager in writing and (b)
unless within three Business Days (or the end of the applicable grace period for such payment, if
longer) after such notice such payment shall have been received by the Trustee, or the Issuer, in
its absolute discretion (but only to the extent permitted by Section 10.2(a)), shall have
made provision for such payment satisfactory to the Trustee in accordance with Section
10.2(a), the Trustee shall request the obligor of such Pledged Obligation, the trustee under
the related Underlying Instrument or paying agent designated by either of them, as the case may be,
to make such payment as soon as practicable after such request but in no event later than three
Business Days after the date of such request. In the event that such payment is not made within
such time period, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of clause (iv) of Section 6.1(d),
shall take such action as the Collateral Manager reasonably shall direct in writing. Any such
action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this
Indenture. In the event that the Issuer or the Collateral Manager requests a release of a Pledged
Obligation in connection with any such action under the Collateral Management Agreement, such
release shall be subject to Section 10.13 and Article 12 of this Indenture, as the
case may be. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer
or its designee any payment with respect to any Pledged Obligation received after the Due Date
thereof to the extent the Issuer previously made provisions for such payment satisfactory to the
Trustee in accordance with this Section 6.13 and such payment shall not be deemed part of
the Assets.
Section 6.14. Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.
The Trustee represents and warrants that:
(a) the Trustee is a national banking association with trust powers, duly and validly existing
under the laws of the United States of America, with corporate power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under this Indenture, and is duly eligible and qualified to act
as trustee under this Indenture;
(b) this Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee and
constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms except (i) as limited by bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer,

hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles,
regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and (ii) that the remedy of
specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject
- 168 -
to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor
may be brought;
(c) neither the execution or delivery by the Trustee of this Indenture nor the performance by
the Trustee of its obligations under this Indenture requires the consent or approval of, the giving
of notice to or the registration or filing with, any governmental authority or agency under any
existing law of the United States of America governing the banking or trust powers of the Trustee;
(d) neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Indenture, nor the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Indenture, (i) is prohibited by, or requires the Trustee to
obtain any consent, authorization, approval or registration under, any law, statute, rule,
regulation, or any judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree that is binding upon the Trustee or
any of its properties or assets, (ii) will violate the provisions of the Governing Documents of the
Trustee or (iii) will violate any provision of, result in any default or acceleration of any
obligations under, result in the creation or imposition of any lien pursuant to, or require any
consent under, any material agreement to which the Trustee is a party or by which it or any of its
property is bound, the violation of which would have a material adverse effect on the Trustee or
its property; and
(e) there are no proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of the Trustee, threatened
against the Trustee before any Federal, state or other governmental agency, authority,
administrator or regulatory body, arbitrator, court or other tribunal, foreign or domestic, which
could have a material adverse effect on the Pledged Obligations or the performance by the Trustee
of its obligations under this Indenture.
Section 6.15. Requests for Consents.
In the event that the Trustee receives written notice of any proposed amendment, consent or
waiver under the Underlying Instruments of any Collateral Obligation (before or after any default)
or in the event any action is required to be taken in respect to an Underlying Instrument, the
Trustee shall promptly contact the Issuer and the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Manager may,
on behalf of the Issuer, instruct the Trustee pursuant to an Issuer Order to, and the Trustee
shall, with respect to which a Collateral Obligation as to which a consent or waiver under the
Underlying Instruments of such Collateral Obligation (before or after any default) has been
proposed or with respect to action required to be taken in respect of an Underlying Instrument,
give consent, grant a waiver, vote or exercise any or all other rights or remedies with respect to
any such Collateral Obligation in accordance with such Issuer Order. In the absence of any
instruction from the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer, the Trustee shall not engage in
any vote or take any action with respect to such a Collateral Obligation.

ARTICLE 7.
COVENANTS
Section 7.1. Payment of Principal and Interest and Class A-1R Commitment Fees.
The Issuer shall duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on each Class of Notes
and, in the case of the Class A-1R Notes, the Class A-1R Commitment Fee or Class A-1R Breakage
Costs, in accordance with the terms of such Notes and this Indenture. Amounts properly withheld
under the Code or other applicable law by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder of interest
and/or principal shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer, and, with respect to the
Certificate, by the Issuer, to such Certificateholder for all purposes of this Indenture.
The Trustee shall, unless prevented from doing so for reasons beyond its reasonable control,
give notice to each Securityholder of any such withholding requirement no later than ten days prior
to the related Payment Date from which amounts are required (as directed by the Issuer or the
Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) to be withheld, provided that despite the failure of
the Trustee to give such notice amounts withheld pursuant to applicable tax laws shall be
considered as having been paid by the Issuer, as provided above.
Section 7.2. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and
interest on the Notes and where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee, as its agent where notices and demands to or upon the
Issuer in respect of the Notes or this Indenture, may be served.
The Issuer hereby appoints the Irish Paying Agent as a Paying Agent for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Notes and to act as its agent where notices and demands to or upon
the Issuer in respect of the Notes or this Indenture may be served and where Notes may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.
The Issuer may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of any such
agent or appoint any additional agents for any or all of such purposes; provided, however, that the
Issuer will maintain in Chevy Chase, Maryland, an office or agency where notices and demands to or
upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served, and, subject to any laws
or regulations applicable thereto, an office or agency outside of the United States where Notes may
be presented and surrendered for payment; provided, further, that no paying agent shall be
appointed in a jurisdiction which subjects payments on the Notes to withholding tax. The Issuer
shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee, the Class A-1R Note Paying Agent, each Rating
Agency and the Noteholders of the appointment or termination of any such agent and of the location
and any change in the location of any such office or agency.
If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in Chevy
Chase, Maryland, or outside the United States, or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with
- 170 -
the address thereof, presentations and surrenders may be made (subject to the limitations
described in the preceding paragraph) at and notices and demands may be served on the Issuer, and
Notes may be presented and surrendered for payment to the appropriate Paying Agent at its main
office and the Issuer hereby appoints the same as their agent to receive such respective
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.
Section 7.3. Money for Note Payments to be Held in Trust.
All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from
amounts withdrawn from the Payment Account shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Trustee or
a Paying Agent (in each case, from and to the extent of available funds in the Payment Account and
subject to the Priority of Payments) with respect to payments on the Notes.
When the Paying Agent is not also the Notes Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish, or cause the
Notes Registrar to furnish, no later than the fifth calendar day after each Record Date a list, if
necessary, in such form as such Paying Agent may reasonably request, of the names and addresses of
the Holders of Notes and of the certificate numbers of individual Notes held by each such Holder.
Whenever the Paying Agent is not also the Trustee, the Issuer and such Paying Agent shall, on
or before the Business Day next preceding each Payment Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be,
direct the Trustee to deposit on such Payment Date with such Paying Agent, if necessary, an
aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due pursuant to the terms of this
Indenture (to the extent funds are then available for such purpose in the Payment Account, and
subject to the Priority of Payments), such sum to be held for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee
of its action or failure so to act. Any Monies deposited with a Paying Agent (other than the
Trustee) in excess of an amount sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due on the Notes with
respect to which such deposit was made shall be paid over by such Paying Agent to the Trustee for
application in accordance with Article 11. Any such Paying Agent shall be deemed to agree
by assuming such role not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer for
the non-payment to the Paying Agent of any amounts payable thereto until at least one year and one
day or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect after the payment in full of all
Notes issued under this Indenture.
The initial Paying Agent shall be as set forth in Section 7.2. Any additional or
successor Paying Agents shall be appointed by Issuer Order of the Issuer with written notice
thereof to the Trustee; provided, however, that so long as any Class of the Notes are rated by a
Rating Agency and with respect to any additional or successor Paying Agent for the Notes, either
(i) such Paying Agent has a long-term debt rating of “Aa3” or higher by Xxxxx’x, “AA-”or higher by
Fitch and “AA-” or higher by S&P or a short-term debt rating of “P-1” by Xxxxx’x, “F1+” by Fitch
and “A1+” by S&P or (ii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such
additional or successor Paying Agent. In the event that such successor Paying Agent ceases to have
a long-term debt rating of “Aa3” or higher by Xxxxx’x, “AA-”or higher by Fitch or “AA-” or higher
by S&P or a short-term debt rating of at least “P-1” by Xxxxx’x, “F1+” by Fitch and “A-1+” by S&P,
the Issuer shall promptly remove such Paying
- 171 -
Agent and appoint a successor Paying Agent. The Issuer shall not appoint any Paying Agent that
is not, at the time of such appointment, a depository institution or trust company subject to
supervision and examination by federal and/or state and/or national banking authorities. The Issuer
shall cause the Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee (and if the Trustee acts as
Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3, that
such Paying Agent will:
(a) allocate all sums received for payment to the Holders of Notes for which it acts as Paying
Agent on each Payment Date and Redemption Date among such Holders in the proportion specified in
the applicable report or Redemption Date Statement, as the case may be, in each case to the extent
permitted by applicable law;
(b) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes for the
benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;
(c) if such Paying Agent is not the Trustee, immediately resign as a Paying Agent and
forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held by it for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases
to meet the standards set forth above required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its
appointment;
(d) if such Paying Agent is not the Trustee, immediately give the Trustee notice of any
Default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment required
to be made; and
(e) if such Paying Agent is not the Trustee, at any time during the continuance of any such
Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held by
such Paying Agent.
The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct the Paying Agent to pay, to
the Trustee all sums held by the Issuer or held by the Paying Agent for payment of the Notes, such
sums to be held by the Trustee in trust for the same Noteholders as those upon which such sums were
held by the Issuer or the Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by the Paying Agent to the Trustee,
the Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such Money.
Except as otherwise required by applicable law, any Money deposited with the Trustee in trust
or deposited with the Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable shall
be paid to the Issuer; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment of such amounts and all liability of the Trustee or
the Paying Agent with respect to such Money (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the
Issuer) shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Irish Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such payment, shall at the expense of the Issuer cause
- 172 -
to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published
on each Business Day and of general circulation in Dublin, Ireland, notice that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days
from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be
repaid to the Issuer. The Trustee or the Paying Agent, before being required to make any such
release of payment, may, but shall not be required to, adopt and employ, at the expense of the
Issuer any reasonable means of notification of such release of payment, including, but not limited
to, mailing notice of such release to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been
surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in Monies due and payable but not claimed
is determinable from the records of the Paying Agent, at the last address of record of each such
Holder.
Section 7.4. Existence of the Issuer.
(a) So long as any Note is outstanding, the Issuer shall maintain in full force and effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware and
shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign limited liability company
in each jurisdiction in which such qualifications are or shall be necessary to protect the validity
and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or any of the Assets; provided that the Issuer
shall be entitled to change its jurisdiction of registration to any other jurisdiction reasonably
selected by the Issuer so long as (i) such change is not disadvantageous in any material respect to
the Noteholders or the Certificateholder, (ii) written notice of such change shall have been given
by the Trustee to the Noteholders or Certificateholder, the Owner Trustee and each Rating Agency
fifteen (15) Business Days prior to such change and (iii) on or prior to the 15th Business Day
following such notice the Trustee shall not have received written notice from a Majority of the
Controlling Class or the Certificateholder objecting to such change. So long as any Note is
outstanding, the Trust Depositor will maintain at all times at least two directors who are
Independent of the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates.
(b) So long as any Note is outstanding, the Issuer shall ensure that all statutory trust
formalities or other formalities regarding its existence are followed (including correcting any
known misunderstanding regarding its separate existence). So long as any Note is outstanding, the
Issuer shall not take any action or conduct its affairs in a manner that is likely to result in its
separate existence being ignored or its assets and liabilities being substantively consolidated
with any other Person in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding. So long as
any Note is outstanding, the Issuer shall maintain and implement administrative and operating
procedures reasonably necessary in the performance of the Issuer’s obligations hereunder, and the
Issuer shall at all times keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, separate books,
records, accounts and other information customarily maintained for the performance of the Issuer’s
obligations hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, so long as any Note is outstanding, (i) the
Issuer shall (A) pay its own liabilities only out of its own funds and (B) use separate stationery,
invoices and checks, (ii) the Issuer shall not have any subsidiaries, and (iii) the Issuer shall
not (A) have any employees, (B) engage in any transaction with any shareholder that is not
permitted under the terms of the Collateral Management Agreement, (C) pay dividends other than in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture or (D) conduct business under an assumed name (i.e. no
DBAs).

Section 7.5. Protection of Assets.
(a) The Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, pursuant to any Opinion of Counsel received pursuant
to Section 7.5(d) shall execute and deliver all such Financing Statements, continuation
statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other
action as may be necessary or advisable or desirable to secure the rights and remedies of the
Holders and each Hedge Counterparty hereunder and to:
(i) Grant more effectively all or any portion of the Assets;
(ii) maintain or preserve the lien (and the priority thereof) of this Indenture

rely upon an Opinion of Counsel described in Section 7.5(d), at the expense of the Issuer,
as to the need to file such Financing Statements and continuation statements, the dates by which
such filings are required to be made and the jurisdictions in which such filings are required to be
made).
(b) The Trustee shall not (i) except in accordance with Section 10.13(a), (b)
or (c) and except for payments, deliveries and distributions otherwise expressly permitted
under this Indenture, remove any portion of the Assets that consists of Cash or is evidenced by an
instrument, certificate or other writing (A) from the jurisdiction in which it was held at the date
as described in the Opinion of Counsel delivered at the Closing Date pursuant to Section
3.1(c) or (B) from the possession of the Person who held it on such date or (ii) cause or
permit the Custodial Account or the Custodial Securities Intermediary to be located in a different
jurisdiction from the jurisdiction in which such securities accounts and Custodial Securities
Intermediary were located on the Closing Date, unless the Trustee shall have first received an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the lien and security interest created by this Indenture with
respect to such property will continue to be maintained after giving effect to such action or
actions.
- 174 -
(c) The Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid taxes, if any, levied on account of the
beneficial ownership by the Issuer of any Pledged Obligations that secure the Notes.
(d) For so long as the Notes are Outstanding, (i) sixty (60) days prior to January 20, 2012
and (ii) every sixty (60) months after January 20 , 2012, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on
behalf of the Issuer) shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the Trustee, the Collateral
Manager, each Hedge Counterparty and each Rating Agency, at the expense of the Issuer, an Opinion
of Counsel stating what is required, in the opinion of such counsel, as of the date of such
opinion, to maintain the lien and security interest created by this Indenture with respect to the
Assets, and confirming the matters set forth in the Opinion of Counsel, furnished pursuant to
Section 3.1(c), with regard to the perfection and priority of such security interest (and
such Opinion may likewise be subject to qualifications and assumptions similar to those set forth
in the Opinion delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(c)); provided that the Issuer shall be
required to deliver an Opinion of Counsel with respect to the foregoing matters within 60 days
after any change in the jurisdiction of organization of the Trustee; and provided, further, that a
Majority of the Controlling Class shall be entitled to direct the Issuer to deliver an additional
Opinion of Counsel with respect to the foregoing matters, at the expense of such Holders, twice
within any such 60 month period.

Condition with respect to, any amendments to its Governing Documents.

(a) The Issuer shall not take any action, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts not
to permit any action to be taken by others, that would release any Person from any of such Person’s
covenants or obligations under any instrument included in the Assets, except in the case of
enforcement action taken with respect to any Defaulted Security in accordance with the provisions
hereof and as otherwise required hereby.
(b) The Issuer may, with the prior written consent of the Majority of the Notes (or if there

Holder or beneficial owner of a Note, the Issuer shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished
“Rule 144A Information” (as defined below) to such holder or beneficial owner, to a prospective
purchaser of such Note designated by such holder or beneficial owner or to the Trustee for delivery
to such holder or beneficial owner or a prospective purchaser designated by such holder or
beneficial owner, as the case may be, in order to permit compliance by such holder or beneficial
owner with Rule 144A under the Securities Act in connection with the resale of such Note by such
holder or beneficial owner. “Rule 144A Information” shall be such information as is specified

Issuer’s expense) to such Noteholders or prospective purchasers, at and pursuant to the Issuer’s
written direction the foregoing materials prepared by or on behalf of the Issuer; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall be entitled to prepare and affix thereto or enclose therewith

(a) The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any Notes remain Outstanding there shall at
all times be an agent appointed to calculate LIBOR in respect of each Interest Accrual Period in
accordance with the terms of Schedule F hereto (the “Calculation Agent”). The
Issuer have initially appointed the Trustee as Calculation Agent for purposes of determining LIBOR
for each Interest Accrual Period. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer at any time.
The Calculation Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer, the
Collateral Manager, each Hedge Counterparty, the Noteholders and each Rating
- 180 -
Agency. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the
Issuer in respect of any Interest Accrual Period, the Issuer shall, with the prior written consent
of each Hedge Counterparty, promptly appoint as a replacement Calculation Agent a leading bank
which is engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurodollar market and
which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer. The
Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed, and
shall promptly inform the Hedge Counterparty of any such appointment. If no successor Calculation
Agent shall have been appointed within 30 days after giving of a notice of resignation, the
resigning Calculation Agent, each Hedge Counterparty, a Majority of the Notes or any Holder of a
Note, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, may petition a court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent.
(b) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as practicable after 11:00
a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date (as defined in
Schedule F hereto), but
in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (
New York time) on the London Banking Day immediately following
each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall calculate (x) LIBOR for the next
Interest Accrual Period and (y) the amount of interest for such Interest Accrual Period payable in
respect of each U.S. $1,000 principal amount of each Class of Notes (rounded to the nearest cent,
with half a cent being rounded upward) on the related Payment Date, and will communicate such rates
and amounts to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager, the Paying Agent, each Hedge
Counterparty and, if any Floating Rate Note is in the form of a Regulation S Global Security, to
Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg. The Calculation Agent shall also specify to the Issuer the
quotations upon which LIBOR is based, and in any event the Calculation Agent shall notify the
Issuer before 5:00 p.m. (
New York time) on each LIBOR Determination Date if it has not determined
and is not in the process of determining LIBOR and the Interest Distribution Amounts for each Class
of Notes, together with the reasons therefor. The determination of the Class A-1A Rate, Class A-1R
Rate, Class A-2A Rate, Class A-2B Rate, Class B Rate, Class C Rate, Class D Rate, Class E Rate,
Class F Rate, Class G Rate, Class H Rate and Class J Rate and the related Class A-1A Interest
Distribution Amount, Class A-1R Interest Distribution Amount, Class A-2A Interest Distribution
Amount, Class A-2B Interest Distribution Amount, Class B Interest Distribution Amount, Class C
Interest Distribution Amount, Class D Interest Distribution Amount, Class E Interest Distribution
Amount, Class F Interest Distribution Amount, Class G Interest Distribution Amount, Class H
Interest Distribution Amount and Class J Interest Distribution Amount, respectively, by the
Calculation Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on all parties.

Section Section 7.16. Maintenance of Listing.
(a) For so long as any of the Notes remain Outstanding, the Issuer shall use all reasonable
efforts to arrange and maintain the listing of the Notes on the Irish Stock Exchange.
(b) If the Notes (other than the Class A-1R Notes) are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, the
Issuer shall:
- 181 -
(i) in each calendar year commencing in 2007, request from the Irish Stock
Exchange a waiver of the Irish Stock Exchange’s requirement to publish annual
reports and accounts;
(ii) submit to the Irish Stock Exchange draft copies of any proposed amendments
to the Governing Documents which would affect the rights of the Noteholders listed
on the Irish Stock Exchange;
(iii) pay the annual fee for listing the Notes on the Irish Stock Exchange, if
any; and
(iv) inform the Irish Stock Exchange if the rating assigned to any of the Notes
is reduced or withdrawn.
(c) All notices, documents, reports and other announcements delivered to such Company
Announcements Office shall be in the English language.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer
determines that the maintenance of the listing of any Class of Notes (other than the Class A-1R
Notes) on the Irish Stock Exchange (or any alternative listing on another securities exchange) is
unduly onerous or burdensome, the Issuer will have the right to cause such Class of Notes to be
delisted from the Irish Stock Exchange (or such other securities exchange). Without limiting the
Collateral Manager’s discretion with respect to any determination that maintaining or obtaining a
listing is unduly onerous or burdensome, the Collateral Manager may take into account various
factors, including any requirement, resulting from a listing, that the Issuer prepare financial
statements of any particular kind or provide additional disclosure of any particular kind, in each
case including any such requirement arising out of disclosure or transparency directives of the
European Union or any other law or governmental rule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent
of a Majority of the Controlling Class shall be required unless the reason for delisting relates to
a legal/compliance, regulatory, accounting or tax issue
Section 7.17. Purchase of Assets.
The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall use reasonable commercial
efforts to invest Principal Proceeds and any remaining Initial Deposit and any Reinvestment Income
during the Ramp-Up Period in Collateral Obligations in accordance with the provisions hereof.
Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.17, Principal Proceeds and all or any portion
of any remaining Initial Deposit and any Reinvestment Income thereon may be applied prior to the
Effective Date to purchase Collateral Obligations (which shall be, and hereby are, Granted to the
Trustee pursuant to the Granting Clause of this Agreement) for inclusion in the Assets upon receipt
by the Trustee of an Issuer Order executed by the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of
the Issuer) with respect thereto directing the Trustee to pay out the amount specified therein
against delivery of the Collateral Obligation specified therein and a certificate of an Authorized
Officer of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager), dated as of the trade date, and delivered to the
Trustee on or prior to the date of such purchase and Grant, to the effect that the criteria set
forth below in this Section 7.17 will be satisfied (such criteria to be
- 182 -
applied as of the trade date) after giving effect to such purchase and Grant of the Collateral
Obligations:
(a) the Eligibility Criteria are met with respect to the Collateral Obligations purchased;
(b) the Replenishment Criteria are satisfied after giving effect to such investment; and
(c) the procedures relating to the perfection of the Trustee’s security interest in the
Collateral Obligations described in this Agreement have been satisfied.
Section 7.18. Effective Date Actions.
(a) The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall cause to be delivered
to the Trustee and each Rating Agency on the Effective Date an amended Schedule of Closing Date
Collateral Obligations listing all Collateral Obligations Granted to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 7.17 on or before the Effective Date, which schedule shall supersede any prior
Schedule of Closing Date Collateral Obligations delivered to the Trustee.
(b) Within ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date, the Issuer (or the Collateral
Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall request each Rating Agency rating a Class of Notes to
confirm within thirty (30) Business Days after the Effective Date, and to so notify in writing the
Trustee and any Hedge Counterparty, that it has not reduced or withdrawn the ratings assigned by it
on the Closing Date to such Class of Notes. If, within thirty (30) Business Days after the
Effective Date, any rating assigned as of the Closing Date to any Class of Notes has not been
confirmed, or is reduced or withdrawn, by any such Rating Agency, the Collateral Manager may, on
behalf of the Issuer, within 10 Business Days provide to such Rating Agency a proposal (a
“Proposal”) with respect to the Collateral Obligations. If such Rating Agency does not
accept the Proposal or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, elects not to submit a
Proposal, a “Rating Confirmation Failure” shall have occurred. If such Rating Agency
accepts the Proposal, a Rating Confirmation Failure shall not be deemed to have occurred unless and
until the Collateral Manager fails to meet the conditions set forth in the Proposal in accordance
with the time requirements set forth in such Proposal. Within ten (10) Business Days after the
conditions set forth in the Proposal have been satisfied, the Issuer must request a Rating
Confirmation. If the relevant Rating Agency does not confirm its rating, a Rating Confirmation
Failure shall have occurred. If a Rating Confirmation Failure occurs on the first Payment Date
thereafter, (i) as provided in Section 10.4, amounts on deposit in the Unused Proceeds
Account, (ii) as provided in Section 11.1(a)(i), all Interest Proceeds remaining after
payment of amounts referred to in clauses (1) through (29) of Section 11.1(a)(i) and
(iii) as provided in Section 11.1(a)(ii), all Principal Proceeds remaining after
payment of the amounts referred to in clauses (1) through (10) of Section 11.1(a)(ii), in
each case will be used to pay principal of each such Class of Notes, sequentially in accordance
with the Priority of Payments, until each such rating is confirmed or reinstated or such Class of
Notes has been paid in full.
(c) The Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee,
each Hedge Counterparty and each Rating Agency, within six Business Days after
- 183 -
the Effective Date, an Accountants’ Report, dated as of the Effective Date, confirming that
the Collateral Quality Tests and the Coverage Tests have been satisfied and that the Collateral
Obligations and the Aggregate Class A-1R Undrawn Amount have an aggregate par amount (or, in the
case of the Aggregate Class A-1R Undrawn Amount, an aggregate dollar value) equal to at least the
Minimum Ramp-Up Amount and certifying the procedures applied and such accountants’ associated
findings with respect to the Eligibility Criteria and specifying the procedures undertaken by them
to review data and computations relating to such information. The Collateral Manager may on any
date, prior to the 120th day following the Closing Date or the purchase of Collateral Obligations
having an aggregate par amount (together with the Aggregate Class A-1R Undrawn Amount) equal to the
Minimum Ramp-Up Amount, upon written notice to the Trustee, the Class A-1R Note Agent, the Issuer
and each Rating Agency (with a copy to each Hedge Counterparty), declare that the Effective Date
shall occur on the date specified in such notice; provided that each of the Collateral Quality
Tests and the Coverage Tests will be satisfied as of such Effective Date and the Rating Agency
Condition has been satisfied. The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall
cause to be delivered to S&P on the Effective Date a Microsoft Excel file that provides all of the
inputs required to determine whether the S&P CDO Monitor Test has been satisfied.
Section 7.19. Liquidity Tests.
(a) So long as the Issuer owns Third-Party Held Delayed Draw Loans or Third-Party Held
Revolving Loans with respect to which the additional funding commitments are held by Future Advance
Holders, and the aggregate amount of the additional funding commitments related to such Third-Party
Held Delayed Draw Loans and Third-Party Held Revolving Loans is greater than $5,000,000 (the
“Additional Funding Threshold”), CapitalSource Inc.’s, CapitalSource’s and CSE Mortgage’s
combined Liquidity will be measured quarterly on each Payment Date (or, if such day is not a
Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day) (each such day, a “Quarterly Measurement
Date” and each such measurement, a “Liquidity Test”). If CapitalSource Inc.’s,
CapitalSource’s and CSE Mortgage’s combined Liquidity is less than the greater of (1) $20,000,000
and (2) the Future Funding Threshold Amount (the “Liquidity Threshold”) on any Quarterly
Measurement Date on which the aggregate amount of the additional funding commitments related to
such Third-Party Held Delayed Draw Loans and Third-Party Held Revolving Loans is greater than the
Additional Funding Threshold, and CapitalSource Inc.’s, CapitalSource’s and CSE Mortgage’s does
not, within 30 calendar days, (i) increase their combined Liquidity to at least the Liquidity
Threshold, (ii) obtain a Qualified Letter of Credit or a guarantee or otherwise transfer the
ultimate obligation to fund such future advances in an amount at least equal to the excess, if any,
of the Liquidity Threshold over their combined Liquidity from or to (as the case may be) an entity
rated at least “A-” by S&P and “A3” by Xxxxx’x, (iii) fund one or more accounts owned by the
relevant Future Advance Holder(s) in an aggregate amount at least equal to the excess, if any, of
the Liquidity Threshold over their combined Liquidity, the only permitted withdrawals from which
will be to satisfy the additional funding commitments of such Future Advance Holders or to
reimburse the Issuer for losses related to the failure of the Future Advance Holders to fund future
advances in accordance with the terms of the related mortgage loan documents, or (iv) take some
other action acceptable to S&P and Xxxxx’x, a “Liquidity Test Failure” shall have occurred
with respect to such Quarterly Measurement Date. If such Liquidity Test Failure is not cured by
the following Payment Date, amounts available to be distributed to the holders of the Certificate
pursuant to
- 184 -
clause (32) of Section 11.1(a)(i) instead will be deposited into the Liquidity
Suspense Account until such Liquidity Test Failure is cured. The Collateral Manager shall notify
S&P if a Liquidity Test Failure occurs (and in connection therewith shall report to S&P the amount
of Liquidity as of the date of the Liquidity Test Failure). For the avoidance of doubt, if
CapitalSource Inc., CapitalSource and CSE Mortgage takes one of the actions described in clause
(ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence following the occurrence of a Liquidity
Failure, they or it, as the case may be, will be permitted to terminate such letter of credit or
guarantee or liquidate such account, as the case may be, at any time thereafter when their combined
Liquidity is at least the Liquidity Threshold. Amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Suspense
Account (or any portion thereof) will be paid (upon standing order of the Issuer) to the Owner
Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to the
Certificateholder as payments of the Certificate Distribution Amount on any date on which the
Liquidity Test would be satisfied after such release and payment.
(b) With respect to each Third-Party Held Delayed Draw Loan or Third-Party Held Revolving Loan
described in clause (xliii)(C) of the definition of Eligibility Criteria, on any Payment Date on
which the aggregate amount of the additional funding commitments related to such Third-Party Held
Delayed Draw Loans and Third-Party Held Revolving Loans is greater than the Additional Funding
Threshold, if the related Future Advance Holder or any other Person has failed to fund any future
advance required to be funded by it in accordance with the terms of the related Third-Party Held
Delayed Draw Loan or Third-Party Held Revolving Loan and CapitalSource Inc., CapitalSource and CSE
Mortgage has not, within 30 calendar days thereafter, (i) obtained a Qualified Letter of Credit or
a guarantee from an entity rated at least “A-” by S&P and “A3” by Xxxxx’x in an amount at least
equal to the Liquidity Threshold, (ii) funded one or more accounts owned by the relevant Future
Advance Holders in an aggregate amount at least equal to the Liquidity Threshold, the only
permitted withdrawals from which will be to satisfy the additional funding commitments of such
Future Advance Holders or to reimburse the Issuer for losses related to the failure of the Future
Advance Holders to fund future advances in accordance with the terms of the related mortgage loan
documents, or (iii) taken some other action acceptable to the Rating Agencies (any such event, a
“Future Funding Failure”), amounts available to be distributed to the Certificateholder
pursuant to clause (32) of Section 11.1(a)(i), up to an aggregate amount of the Liquidity
Threshold (the “Future Funding Failure Amount”), instead shall be deposited into the
Liquidity Suspense Account until such time as all such failures to fund have been cured. Subject
to Section 7.19(a), amounts on deposit in the Liquidity Suspense Account (or any portion
thereof) will be paid (upon standing order of the Issuer) to the Owner Trustee for deposit into the
Certificate Distribution Account for distribution to the Certificateholder as payments of the
Certificate Distribution Amount on any date on which all such failures to fund have been cured (and
the Liquidity Test would be satisfied after such release and payment). For the avoidance of doubt,
if CapitalSource Inc., CapitalSource and CSE Mortgage takes one of the actions described in clause
(i) or (ii) above following the occurrence of a failure to fund, they or it, as the case may be,
will be permitted to terminate such Qualified Letter of Credit or guarantee or liquidate such
account, as the case may be, at any time thereafter when all such failures to fund have been cured.
(c) Not later than ten (10) Business Days following any Quarterly Measurement Date (or, with
respect to the first Future Funding Schedule, within 30 days of the Closing Date), the Collateral
Manager shall deliver to S&P and Xxxxx’x a schedule (the “Future
- 185 -
Funding Schedule”) of the projected future fundings for all Third-Party Held Delayed
Draw Loans and Third-Party Held Revolving Loans for each quarter in the four quarter period

Counterparty delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee and notice to each Noteholder, and, at any
time and from time to time subject to the requirement provided below in this Section 8.1,
may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for
any of the following purposes:
(a) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Issuer and the assumption by any such
successor Person of the covenants of the Issuer herein and in the Notes;

(e) to correct or amplify the description of any property at any time subject to the lien of
this Indenture, or to better assure, convey and confirm unto the Trustee any property subject or
required to be subjected to the lien of this Indenture (including, without limitation, any and all
actions necessary or desirable as a result of changes in law or regulations) or to subject to the
lien of this Indenture any additional property;
(f) to modify the restrictions on and procedures for resales and other transfers of Notes to

(i) to enable the Issuer and the Trustee to rely upon any exemption from registration under
the Exchange Act or the Investment Company Act or to remove certain existing restrictions to the
extent not required under such exemption;
(j) to accommodate, modify or amend existing and/or replacement Hedge Agreements;
(k) to otherwise correct any inconsistency or cure any ambiguity or mistake or supplement any
provision in this Indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision or make
any modification that is of a formal, minor or technical nature;
(l) to make any change that does not materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders
of the Offered Notes;
(m) to take any action commercially reasonably necessary or advisable to (i) prevent the

as the case may be) as a REIT from being jeopardized;
(n) evidence or implement any change to this Indenture required by regulations or guidelines
enacted to support the USA Patriot Act; and
(o) to conform this Indenture to the provisions described in the Offering Memorandum dated
December 18, 2006 (or any supplement thereto)
The Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture
and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but
the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the
Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, except
to the extent required by law.
If any Class of Notes is Outstanding and rated by a Rating Agency, the Trustee shall not enter
into any such supplemental indenture if, as a result of such supplemental indenture, the Rating
Agency Condition would not be satisfied. At the cost of the Issuer, for so long as any Class of
Notes shall remain Outstanding and is rated by a Rating Agency, the Trustee shall provide to such
Rating Agency a copy of any proposed supplemental indenture at least 15 days prior to the execution
thereof by the Trustee, and, for so long as such Notes are Outstanding and so rated, request
written confirmation that such Rating Agency will not, as a result of such supplemental indenture,
cause the rating of any such Class of Notes to be reduced or withdrawn, and, as soon as practicable
after the execution by the Trustee, the Issuer of any such supplemental indenture, provide to such
Rating Agency a copy of the executed supplemental indenture.
- 187 -
The Trustee shall not enter into any such supplemental indenture if, as a result of such
supplemental indenture, the interests of any Holder of Securities would be materially and adversely
affected thereby or such action will cause the Noteholders to experience any material change to the
timing, character or source of the income from the Notes, unless the Majority of each and every
Class of Notes or the Certificateholder so affected have approved such Supplemental Indenture. The
Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon an Opinion of Counsel provided by and at the expense of the
party requesting such supplemental indenture in determining whether or not the Holders of
Securities would be adversely affected by such change (after giving notice of such change to the
Holders of Securities). Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all present and
future Holders of Securities. The Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in
good faith and in reliance upon an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee as described in
Section 8.3 hereof.
Furthermore, the Trustee shall not enter into any such supplemental indenture unless the
Trustee has received an appropriate tax opinion from a nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel
experienced in such matters that (i) the modification will not cause the Noteholders to experience
any material change to the timing, character or source of the income from the Notes and (ii) the
proposed supplemental indenture will not cause the Issuer to be treated as other than a QRS or
other “pass through” entity for federal income tax purposes.
Section 8.2. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Securityholders.
Except as set forth below, with the written consent of (a) the holders of not less than
66-2/3%, in Aggregate Outstanding Amount (excluding any Collateral Manager Securities) of the Notes
of each Class and the Certificateholder if materially and adversely affected thereby by Act of said
Securityholders delivered to the Trustee and the Issuer, and (b) the consent of each Hedge
Counterparty that is materially and adversely affected thereby, the Trustee, the Issuer and the
Collateral Manager may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto to add any provisions
to, or change in any manner or eliminate any of the provisions of, this Indenture or modify in any
manner the rights of the Noteholders of such Class or the Certificateholder, as the case may be,
under this Indenture. Unless notified by Holders of a Majority (excluding any Notes owned by the
Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates, or by any accounts managed by them) of the Notes of
any Class that such Class of Notes will be materially and adversely affected, the Trustee may,
based on an Officer’s Certificate from the Collateral Manager or a written Opinion of Counsel,
determine whether or not such Class of Notes would be materially and adversely affected by such
change (after giving 15 Business Days’ notice of such change to the Holders of such Class of Notes,
Certificateholder and each Hedge Counterparty). The Trustee may, in reliance on an Officer’s
Certificate from the Collateral Manager or on a written Opinion of Counsel provided by and at the
expense of the party requesting such supplemental indenture, determine whether or not the
Noteholders and the Certificateholder would be adversely affected by such change (after giving
notice of such change to the Certificateholder). Such determinations shall be conclusive and
binding on all present and future Noteholders and the Certificateholder. The consent of the
Noteholders and the Certificateholder shall be binding on all present and future Noteholders and
Certificateholders.
Without the consent of (x) each Hedge Counterparty (if any) (to the extent set forth in the
related Hedge Agreement) and (y) all of the Holders of each Class of Notes adversely
- 188 -
affected thereby and in each such case subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition,
no supplemental indenture may:
(a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of or the due date of any installment of
interest on the Notes or the Class A-1R Commitment Fee, reduce the principal amount thereof or the
rate of interest thereon or the Redemption Price with respect to any Note, change the date of any
scheduled distribution on the Certificate, or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, or change
the earliest date on which any Note may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer, change the
provisions of this Indenture that apply proceeds of any Assets to the payment of principal of,
interest, Class A-1R Commitment Fees or Class A-1R Breakage Costs on Notes or of distributions to
the Owner Trustee for the payment of distributions in respect of the Certificate or change any
place where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the principal thereof or interest
thereon, Class A-1R Commitment Fee or Class A-1R Breakage Costs are payable, or impair the right to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or,
in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date);
(b) reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Noteholders of each Class or
the notional amount of the Certificate of the Certificateholder whose consent is required for the
authorization of any supplemental indenture or for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions
of this Indenture or certain defaults thereunder or their consequences;
(c) reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Noteholders of each Class whose
consent is required to request the Trustee to preserve the Assets or rescind the Trustee’s election
to preserve the Assets or to sell or liquidate the Assets pursuant to this Indenture;
(d) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture with respect to supplemental indentures
except (i) to increase the percentage of outstanding Notes whose holders’ consent is required for
any such action or (ii) to provide that other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or
waived without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby;
(e) modify the definition of the term “Priority of Payments” set forth in this Indenture;
(f) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such a manner as to affect the
requirement that the Issuer be treated as a QRS or other “pass-through” entity for federal income
tax purposes; or
(g) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such a manner as to affect the
calculation of the amount of any payment of interest on or principal of any Note on any Payment
Date or of distributions to the Owner Trustee for the payment of distributions in respect of the
Certificate on any Payment Date (or any other date) or to affect the rights of the holders of
Securities to the benefit of any provisions for the redemption of such Securities contained
therein.
- 189 -
provided, however, that no supplemental indenture may reduce the permitted minimum denominations of
the Notes or modify any provisions regarding limited recourse or non-petition covenants with
respect to the Issuer.
If any Class of Notes are Outstanding and rated by a Rating Agency, the Trustee shall not
enter into any such supplemental indenture if, as a result of such supplemental indenture, such
Rating Agency would cause the rating of any such Notes to be immediately reduced or withdrawn. At
the cost of the Issuer, for so long as any Class of Notes shall remain Outstanding and is rated by
a Rating Agency, the Trustee shall provide to such Rating Agency a copy of any proposed
supplemental indenture at least fifteen (15) days prior to the execution thereof by the Trustee,
and, for so long as such Notes are Outstanding and so rated, request written confirmation that such
Rating Agency will not, as a result of such supplemental indenture, cause the rating of any such
Class of Notes to be reduced or withdrawn.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon an Opinion of Counsel provided by and at the
expense of the party requesting such supplemental indenture in determining whether or not the
Holders of Securities would be adversely affected by such change (after giving notice of such
change to the Holders of Securities). Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all
present and future Holders of Securities. The Trustee shall not be liable for any such
determination made in good faith and in reliance upon an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the
Trustee as described in Section 8.3 hereof.
It shall not be necessary for any Act of Securityholders under this Section 8.2 to
approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if
such Act shall approve the substance thereof.
Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Section 8.2, the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall mail to the
Securityholders, each Hedge Counterparty, the Class A-1R Note Agent, the Owner Trustee, the
Collateral Manager, and, so long as the Notes are Outstanding and so rated, each Rating Agency a
copy thereof based on an outstanding rating. Any failure of the Trustee to publish or mail such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any
such supplemental indenture.
Section 8.3. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.
In executing or accepting the additional trusts created by any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article 8 or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this
Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon,
an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied. The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which
affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. The
Collateral Manager will be bound to follow any amendment or supplement to this Indenture of which
it has received written notice at least ten Business Days prior to the execution and delivery of
such amendment or supplement; provided, however, that with respect to any amendment or supplement
to this Indenture which may, in the judgment of the Collateral Manager adversely
- 190 -
affect the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager shall not be bound (and the Issuer
agrees that it will not permit any such amendment to become effective) unless the Collateral
Manager gives written consent to the Trustee, the Class A-1R Note Agent and the Issuer to such
amendment. The Issuer and the Trustee shall give written notice to the Collateral Manager of any
amendment made to this Indenture pursuant to its terms. In addition, the Collateral Manager’s
written consent shall be required prior to any amendment to this Indenture by which it is adversely
affected.
Section 8.4. Effect of Supplemental Indentures.
Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article 8, this Indenture
shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of
this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes and the Certificateholder theretofore
and thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.
Section 8.5. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures.
Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant
to this Article 8 may, and if required by the Trustee shall, bear a notice in form approved
by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer shall
so determine, new Notes, so modified as to conform in the opinion of the Trustee and the Issuer to
any such supplemental indenture, may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.
ARTICLE 9.
REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES; REDEMPTION PROCEDURES
Section 9.1. Clean-up Call; Tax Redemption and Optional Redemption.
(a) The Notes may be redeemed at the option of and at the direction of the Certificateholder
or the Collateral Manager, in the latter case, unless the Certificateholder objects, in whole but
not in part, on any Payment Date (the “Clean-up Call Date”), on or after the Payment Date
on which the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes has been reduced to 15% of the of the Notes
on the Closing Date, each at a price equal to the applicable Redemption Price (such redemption, a
“Clean-up Call”); provided that any payments due and payable upon a termination of each
Hedge Agreement will be made on the Clean-up Call Date in accordance with the terms thereof and
this Indenture; and provided, further, that the funds available to be used for such Clean-up Call
will be sufficient to pay the Total Redemption Price.
(b) The Notes and the Certificate shall be redeemable, in whole but not in part, by an Act of
the Certificateholder delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Manager, on the Payment Date (the
“Tax Redemption Date”) following the occurrence of a Tax Event and satisfaction of the Tax
Materiality Condition at a price equal to the applicable Redemption Price (such redemption, a
“Tax Redemption”); provided that any payments due and payable upon a termination of each
Hedge Agreement will be made in accordance with the terms thereof and this Indenture; and provided,
further, the funds available to be used for such Tax Redemption will be sufficient to pay the Total
Redemption Price. Upon the occurrence of a Tax Event, the Issuer, at
- 191 -
the direction of the Collateral Manager shall provide written notice thereof to the Trustee,
the Irish Paying Agent (for so long as any Notes (other than the Class A-1R Notes) are listed on
the Irish Stock Exchange), the Class A-1R Note Agent, each Hedge Counterparty and each Rating
Agency.
(c) The Notes and the Certificate shall be redeemable, in whole but not in part, at a price
equal to the applicable Redemption Price, on any Payment Date on or after the Payment Date
occurring in January 2010 at the direction of the Issuer (such redemption, an “Optional
Redemption”) (i) by Act of the Certificateholder delivered to the Trustee, or (ii) at the
direction of the Collateral Manager unless the Certificateholder objects; provided, however, that
any payments due and payable upon a termination of each Hedge Agreement will be made in accordance
with the terms thereof and this Indenture; and provided, further, that the funds available to be
used for such Optional Redemption will be sufficient to pay the Total Redemption Price. In the
event that an Optional Redemption occurs on or prior to the Payment Date occurring in January 2012,
the Redemption Price for the Class A-2A Notes will include the Make-Whole Premium.
(d) The election by the Collateral Manager to redeem the Notes pursuant to a Clean-up Call
shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate from the Collateral Manager directing the Trustee to
make the payment to the Paying Agent of the applicable Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be
redeemed from funds in the Payment Account in accordance with the Priority of Payments. In
connection with a Tax Redemption, the occurrence of a Tax Event and satisfaction of the Tax
Materiality Condition shall be evidenced by an Issuer Order from the Issuer or from the Collateral
Manager on behalf of the Issuer certifying that such conditions for a Tax Redemption have occurred.
The election by the Collateral Manager to redeem the Notes pursuant to an Optional Redemption
shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate from the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer
certifying that the conditions for an Optional Redemption have occurred.
(e) A redemption pursuant to Sections 9.1(a), 9.1(b) or 9.1(c) shall
not occur unless (1) (i) at least six (6) Business Days before the scheduled Redemption Date, the
Collateral Manager shall have certified to the Trustee that the Collateral Manager on behalf of the
Issuer has entered into a binding agreement or agreements, with (A) one or more financial
institutions whose long-term unsecured debt obligations (other than such obligations whose rating
is based on the credit of a person other than such institution) have a credit rating from each
Rating Agency of at least equal to the highest rating of any Notes then Outstanding or whose
short-term unsecured debt obligations have a credit rating of “P-1” by Xxxxx’x as long as the term
of such agreement is ninety (90) day or less and “A-1” by S&P or (B) one or more Affiliates of the
Collateral Manager, to sell all or part of the Pledged Obligations, not later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the scheduled Redemption Date or (ii) the Trustee shall have received written
confirmation that the method of redemption satisfies the Rating Agency Condition and (2) the
related Sale Proceeds (in immediately available funds), together with all other available funds
(including proceeds from the sale of the Assets, Eligible Investments maturing on or prior to the
scheduled Redemption Date, all amounts in the Collection Accounts and available Cash), shall be an
aggregate amount sufficient to pay all amounts, payments, fees and expenses in accordance with the
Priority of Payments due and owing on such Redemption Date.
- 192 -
Section 9.2. Auction Call Redemption.
(a) During the period from and including the Payment Date occurring in January 2017 and to but
not including the first Payment Date on which the Clean-up Call may be exercised (the “Auction
Call Period”), the Notes and the Certificate shall be redeemed, in whole but not in part, if a
Successful Auction is completed (such redemption, an “Auction Call Redemption”), at their
applicable Redemption Prices; provided that any payments due and payable upon a termination of each
Hedge Agreement will be made on the Auction Call Redemption Date in accordance with the terms
thereof and this Indenture; and provided, further, that the funds available to be used for such
Auction Call Redemption will be sufficient to pay the Total Redemption Price. An Auction Call
Redemption may only occur on a Payment Date occurring in January or July during the Auction Call
Period (such Payment Date, the “Auction Call Redemption Date”).
(b) Subject to Section 12.4, the Trustee shall sell and transfer the Collateral
Obligations to the highest bidder for all of the Collateral Obligations (or to each highest bidder
for one or more (but not all) of the Collateral Obligations), at the Auction, as long as:
(i) the Auction has been conducted in accordance with the Auction Procedures,
as evidenced by a certification of the Collateral Manager;
(ii) at least one bidder delivers to the Collateral Manager a bid (which bid
may be based upon a fixed spread above or below a generally recognized price index)
for (x) the purchase of all of the Collateral Obligations or (y) the purchase of
each Collateral Obligation (which bid may be for one or more (but not all) of the
Collateral Obligations);
(iii) based on the Collateral Manager’s certification to the Trustee of the
amount of the cash purchase price of each bid, the Trustee, in consultation with the
Collateral Manager, determines that the Highest Auction Price would result in a cash
purchase price for the Collateral Obligations which, together with the balance of
all Eligible Investments and Cash in the Collection Accounts, the Payment Account,
each Hedge Counterparty Account and the Expense Account, will be at least equal to
the Total Redemption Price; and
(iv) each bidder who offered the Highest Auction Price for all of the
Collateral Obligations or for one or more of the Collateral Obligations enters into
a written agreement with the Issuer (which the Issuer shall execute if the
conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above are satisfied) obligating
the highest bidder for all of the Collateral Obligations (or the highest bidder for
one or more (but not all) of the Collateral Obligations) to purchase all (either
individually or together with other bidders, as applicable) of the Collateral
Obligations with the closing of such purchase (and full payment in Cash to the
Trustee) to occur on or before the tenth Business Day prior to the scheduled
Redemption Date.
- 193 -
(c) If any of the foregoing conditions is not met with respect to any Auction, or if the
highest bidder or the Collateral Manager, as the case may be, fails to pay the purchase price on or
before the sixth (6th) Business Day following the relevant Auction Date, (i) the Auction
Call Redemption shall not occur on the Payment Date following the relevant Auction Date, (ii) the
Trustee shall give notice of the withdrawal pursuant to Section 9.3, (iii) subject to
subclause (iv) below, the Trustee shall decline to consummate such sale and shall not solicit any
further bids or otherwise negotiate any further sale of Collateral Obligations in relation to such
Auction and (iv) unless the Notes and the Certificate are redeemed in full prior to the next
succeeding Auction Date, or the Collateral Manager notifies the Trustee that market conditions are
such that such Auction is not likely to be successful, the Trustee shall conduct another Auction on
the next succeeding Auction Date.
Section 9.3. Notice of Redemption.
(a) In connection with an Optional Redemption, a Clean-up Call or a Tax Redemption pursuant to
Section 9.1 or an Auction Call Redemption pursuant to Section 9.2, the Trustee on
behalf of the Issuer shall (i) set the applicable Record Date and (ii) at least thirty (30) days
prior to the proposed Redemption Date, notify the Collateral Manager, each Hedge Counterparty, the
Class A-1R Note Agent, the Owner Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Certificateholder at such
Certificateholder’s address in the register maintained by the share registrar, of such proposed
Redemption Date, the applicable Record Date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed on such
Redemption Date and the Redemption Price of such Notes in accordance with Section 9.1 or
Section 9.2. The Redemption Price shall be determined no earlier than 60 days prior to the
proposed Redemption Date.
(b) Any such notice of an Auction Call Redemption, an Optional Redemption, a Clean-up Call or
a Tax Redemption may be withdrawn by the Issuer at the direction of the party that initiates such
redemption up to the fourth Business Day prior to the scheduled Redemption Date by written notice
to the Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Irish Paying Agent (for so long as any Notes (other than the
Class A-1R Notes) are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange), the Class A-1R Note Agent, each Hedge
Counterparty, to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed, and the Collateral Manager only if (i) in the
case of an Optional Redemption, a Clean-up Call or a Tax Redemption the Collateral Manager is
unable to deliver the sale agreement or agreements or certifications referred to in Section
9.1(e), as the case may be or (ii) in the case of an Auction Call Redemption, the Auction is
unable to be consummated pursuant to the Auction Procedures.
Section 9.4. Notice of Redemption or Maturity by the Issuer.
Notice of redemption pursuant to Section 9.1, Section 9.2 or the Maturity of
any Notes shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than ten (10)
Business Days prior to the applicable Redemption Date or Maturity, to each Holder of Notes to be
redeemed, at its address in the Notes Register. In addition, so long as any Notes (other than the
Class A-1R Notes) are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, notice of redemption or Maturity shall be
published in the Irish Stock Exchange’s Daily Official List or as otherwise required by the rules
of the Irish Stock Exchange not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the applicable Redemption
Date or Maturity.
- 194 -
All notices of redemption shall state:
(a) the applicable Redemption Date;
(b) the applicable Redemption Price;
(c) that all the Notes are being paid in full and all Class A-1R Commitments shall terminate,
and that interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date specified in the
notice; and
(d) the place or places where such Notes to be redeemed in whole are to be surrendered for
payment of the Redemption Price which shall be the office or agency of the Paying Agent as provided
in Section 7.2.
Notice of redemption shall be given by the Issuer, or at its request, by the Trustee in its
names and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect
therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any
other Notes.
Section 9.5. Notes Payable on Redemption Date.
Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes to be redeemed shall, on the
Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified and all Class
A-1R Commitments shall terminate, and from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall
Default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) the Notes shall cease to bear
interest on the Redemption Date. Upon final payment on a Note to be redeemed, the Holder shall
present and surrender such Note at the place specified in the notice of redemption on or prior to
such Redemption Date; provided, however, that if there is delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless (an unsecured
indemnity agreement delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee by an institutional investor with a net
worth of at least $200,000,000 being deemed to satisfy such security or indemnity requirement) and
an undertaking thereafter to surrender such Note, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer and
the Trustee that the applicable Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, such final payment
shall be made without presentation or surrender. Payments of interest on Notes of a Class so to be
redeemed whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the
Holders of such Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close of
business on the relevant Record Date according to the terms and provisions of Section
2.7(o).
If any Note called for redemption shall not be paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the
principal thereof shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the applicable Note
Interest Rate for each successive Interest Accrual Period the Note remains Outstanding.
Section 9.6. Mandatory Redemption.
On any Payment Date on which any of the Coverage Tests applicable to any Class of Notes is not
met on the most recent Measurement Date, the Notes shall be redeemed (a
- 195 -
“Mandatory Redemption”), first from Interest Proceeds and then from Principal Proceeds
(and prior to the Commitment Termination Time, for deposit into the Class A-1R Suspense Account) in
each case in accordance with the Priority of Payments in an amount necessary, and only to the
extent necessary, to cause each of the Coverage Tests to be satisfied. Further, each Hedge
Agreement will be terminated in part in accordance with the terms thereof and any payments due and
payable on the Hedge Agreement in connection with the termination of the Hedge Agreement will be
made on such Payment Date in accordance with the terms thereof and this Indenture, including
satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. Such Principal Proceeds and Interest Proceeds shall
be applied to each of the outstanding Classes of Notes in accordance with its relative seniority
(and prior to the Commitment Termination Time, for deposit into the Class A-1R Suspense Account) in
accordance with the Priority of Payments. On or promptly after such Mandatory Redemption, the
Issuer shall certify or cause to be certified to each of the Rating Agencies and the Trustee
whether the Coverage Tests have been met.
Section 9.7. Special Amortization.
The Notes (other than the Class K Notes) shall be amortized in part by the Issuer if, at any
time during the Replenishment Period, the Collateral Manager has been unable, for a period of at
least 120 consecutive days, to identify Collateral Obligations that it determines would be
appropriate and would meet the Eligibility Criteria in sufficient amounts to permit the
reinvestment of all or a portion of the Principal Proceeds then on deposit in the Principal
Collection Account and the amounts on deposit in the Unused Proceeds Account in additional
Collateral Obligations and the Collateral Manager determines that, in light of general market
conditions or other factors, investments in additional appropriate Collateral Obligations within
the foreseeable future are unlikely. The Collateral Manager shall notify the Trustee, the Class
A-1R Note Agent, the Issuer and each Hedge Counterparty of such election (a “Special
Amortization”) and the amount of Notes to be amortized (such amount, the “Special
Amortization Amount”). On the first Payment Date following the date on which such notice is
given (provided such notice is given on or prior to the Determination Date with respect to such
Payment Date), the Special Amortization Amount will be applied to amortize the Notes (other than
the Class K Notes) in accordance with the Priority of Payments (x) on a pro rata basis among all
Classes of Notes (other than the Class K Notes) (without regard to any Capitalized Interest and
assuming for purposes of the pro rata allocation to the Class A Notes, that the Class A-1R Notes
are fully drawn, but allocating the amounts between the Class A-1A Notes and the Class A-1R Notes
as described in the Priority of Payments), if each of the S&P Special Amortization Pro Rata
Condition and the Xxxxx’x Special Amortization Pro Rata Condition is satisfied with respect to the
related Payment Date and each of the Coverage Tests was satisfied as of the related Determination
Date, or (y) sequentially among all Classes of Notes (other than the Class K Notes) (and any
Required Class A-1R Suspense Account Deposit, to the Class A-1R Suspense Account), if either the
S&P Special Amortization Pro Rata Condition or the Xxxxx’x Special Amortization Pro Rata Condition

(c) During the Replenishment Period, amounts on deposit in the Unused Proceeds Account may or
shall be designated by the Collateral Manager as Special Amortization Amounts to be included as
Principal Proceeds pursuant to Section 9.7. If the sum of (A) the Aggregate Principal
Balance of the Collateral Obligations plus (B) the Aggregate Class A-1R Undrawn Amount exceeds the
Minimum Ramp-Up Amount on the Effective Date, amounts remaining on deposit in the Unused Proceeds
Account at the end of the Ramp-Up Period not to exceed an amount equal to 15% of the Initial
Deposit may, at the option of the Collateral Manager and provided no Rating Confirmation Failure
shall have occurred, be designated as Interest Proceeds. Any such election will be made on a
one-time basis and must be made by written notice to the Trustee not later than the twentieth
(20th) Business Day after the Effective Date, which notice shall set forth any such amounts in the
Unused Proceeds Account so designated (and any interest or earnings thereon). Upon receipt of such

Interest Proceeds and provided that a Ratings Confirmation Failure has not occurred, shall be
transferred by the Trustee to the Principal Collection Account (for subsequent transfer to the
Payment Account) and treated as Principal Proceeds and applied in accordance with the Priority of
Payments.

Manager pursuant to Section 7.18, the Trustee shall transfer amounts in the Unused Proceeds
Account to the Payment Account for application on the immediately following Payment Date to pay
principal of the Notes, first, to the payment of principal of the Class A Notes as described under
Section 11.1(g) (and any Required Class A-1R Suspense Account Deposit to the Class A-1R

principal of the Class K Notes, in each case until the ratings assigned on the Closing Date to each
Class of Notes have been reinstated or such Class has been paid in full. Any excess amount shall
be treated as Principal Proceeds and applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments. If no
Ratings Confirmation Failure occurs, to the extent the Collateral Manager has not identified such
amounts as Interest Proceeds pursuant to Section 10.4(c), the Trustee shall transfer the
amounts on deposit in the Unused Proceeds Account to the Principal
- 200 -
Collection Account, and such amounts will be treated as Principal Proceeds and applied in
accordance with the Priority of Payments.
(e) During the Ramp-Up Period, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer)
may by Issuer Order direct the Trustee to, and upon receipt of such Issuer Order the Trustee shall,
apply amounts on deposit in the Unused Proceeds Account to acquire Collateral Obligations selected
by the Collateral Manager as permitted under and in accordance with the requirements of Section
7.17 and such Issuer Order.
(f) To the extent not applied pursuant to Section 7.17, the Collateral Manager on
behalf of the Issuer may direct the Trustee to, and upon such direction the Trustee shall, invest
all funds in the Unused Proceeds Account in Eligible Investments designated by the Collateral
Manager. All interest and other income from such investments shall be deposited in the Unused
Proceeds Account, any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the Unused Proceeds
Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Unused Proceeds
Account. The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable (except as a result of negligence,
willful misconduct or bad faith) by reason of any insufficiency of the Unused Proceeds Account
resulting from any loss relating to any such investment, except with respect to investments in
obligations of the Trustee or any Affiliate thereof. If the Trustee does not receive investment
instructions from an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager, the Trustee may invest funds
received in the Unused Proceeds Account in Eligible Investments of the type described in clause
(ii) of the definition thereto.
(g) On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish a subaccount of the Unused Proceeds
Account (the “Unused Proceeds Subaccount”) and credit an amount equal to the Liquidity
Threshold. As directed by the Collateral Manager, amounts credited thereto may be released from
the lien of this Indenture and paid to Future Advance Holders to satisfy the additional funding
commitments of the Future Advance Holders. At any time prior to the Effective Date, the Collateral
Manager may direct the Trustee to terminate the Unused Proceeds Subaccount and credit any amounts
remaining on deposit therein to the Unused Proceeds Account. For the avoidance of doubt, amounts
on deposit in the Unused Proceeds Subaccount shall not be included in the Assets securing the

funding commitments of the Issuer under any Issuer Held Delayed Draw Loans or Issuer Held Revolving
Loans included in the Collateral Obligations. All amounts in the Delayed Funding Obligations
Account shall be deposited in overnight funds in Eligible Investments and released to fulfill such
commitments in each case, as directed by the Collateral Manager. If an Issuer Held Delayed Draw
Loan or Issuer Held Revolving Loan is sold or otherwise disposed before the full commitment
thereunder has been drawn, or if excess funds remain following the termination of the funding
obligation giving rise to the deposit of such funds in the Delayed Funding Obligations Account,
such Eligible Investments on deposit in the
- 201 -
Delayed Funding Obligations Account for the purpose of fulfilling such commitment shall be
transferred to the Principal Collection Account as Principal Proceeds. The Delayed Funding
Obligations Account shall remain at all times with the Corporate Trust Office or a financial
institution having a long-term debt rating from each Rating Agency at least equal to “BBB+” or
“A2,” as applicable, or a short-term debt rating at least equal to “A-1,” “P-1” or “F-1,” as

(b) Funds in the Delayed Funding Obligations Account shall be available solely to fulfill any
additional funding commitments under any Issuer Held Delayed Draw Loans or Issuer Held Revolving
Loans included in the Collateral Obligations, and only funds in the Delayed Funding Obligations
Account shall be used for such purpose. Upon the purchase of any Collateral Obligation that is an
Issuer Held Delayed Draw Loan or Issuer Held Revolving Loan, the Collateral Manager shall direct
the Trustee to deposit Principal Proceeds or amounts in the Unused Proceeds Account into the
Delayed Funding Obligation Account in an amount equal to the Issuer’s maximum future funding
obligation under the terms of such Issuer Held Delayed Draw Loan or Issuer Held Revolving Loan, and
the Principal Proceeds so deposited shall be considered part of the purchase price of such Issuer
Held Delayed Draw Loan or Issuer Held Revolving Loan for purposes of Article 12. The
Collateral Manager shall not permit the amounts then on deposit in the Delayed Funding Obligation
Account to be less than the aggregate amount of all future funding obligations outstanding under

Date to withdraw funds from the Delayed Funding Obligation Account to fund amounts drawn under any
Issuer Held Delayed Draw Loan or Issuer Held Revolving Loan. Pursuant to an Issuer Order, all or a
portion of the funds, as specified in such Issuer Order, on deposit in the Delayed Funding
Obligation Account at any time in excess of the aggregate principal amount of commitments which may
be drawn upon under the Issuer Held Delayed Draw Loans and Issuer Held Revolving Loans shall be
transferred by the Trustee to the Collection Account as Principal Proceeds.

which shall be designated as the “Expense Account” which shall be held in trust in the name of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and each Hedge Counterparty. The only permitted
withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the
Expense Account shall be to pay (on any day other than a Payment Date) accrued and unpaid Company
Administrative Expenses of the Issuer (other than accrued and unpaid expenses and indemnities
payable to the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement). On or after the
Effective Date, any amount remaining in the Expense Account may, at the election of the Collateral
Manager be designated as Interest Proceeds. On the date on which substantially all of the Issuer’s
assets have been sold or otherwise disposed of, the Issuer by Issuer Order executed by an
Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager shall direct the Trustee to, and, upon receipt of such
Issuer Order, the Trustee shall, transfer all amounts on deposit in the Expense Account to the
Interest Collection Account for application pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i) as Interest
Proceeds. Xxxxxxx credited to the Expense Account
- 202 -
may be applied on or prior to the Determination Date preceding the first Payment Date to pay
amounts due in connection with the offering of the Notes.
(b) The Trustee agrees to give the Issuer immediate notice if it becomes aware that the
Expense Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Expense Account,
shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar
process. The Issuer shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Expense
Account. The Expense Account shall remain at all times with the Corporate Trust Office of a
financial institution having a long-term debt rating by each Rating Agency at least equal to “BBB+”

from any loss relating to any such investment, except with respect to investments in obligations of
the Trustee or any Affiliate thereof. If the Trustee does not receive investment instructions from

Expense Account in Eligible Investments of the type described in clause (ii) of the definition
thereto.

(a) The Trustee shall prior to the Closing Date establish a single, segregated trust account
which shall be designated the “Class A-1R Suspense Account” which shall be held in trust in the
name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and each Hedge Counterparty. On any Payment
Date, the Trustee will deposit into the Class A-1R Suspense Account, the Required Class A-1R
Suspense Account Deposit. At the direction of the Collateral Manager, the Issuer may by Issuer
Order direct the Trustee to, and upon receipt of the Issuer Order the Trustee shall, transfer all

fund future advances with respect to Issuer Held Delayed Draw Loans or Issuer Held Revolving Loans,
or (iii) on any Payment Date, as Principal Proceeds for application in accordance with the Priority
of Payments (provided that any Issuer Order instructing the Trustee to apply such amounts as
Principal Proceeds on any Payment Date will be delivered no later than the related Determination
Date). If no Issuer Order is delivered to the Trustee prior to a Determination Date, the Trustee
shall transfer all amounts on deposit in the Class A-1R Suspense Account, if any, to the Principal
Collection Account for application in accordance with the Priority of Payments as Principal
Proceeds on the related Payment Date. At the Commitment Termination Time, amounts on deposit in
the Class A-1R Suspense Account will be transferred to the Principal Collection Account for
application in accordance with the Priority of Payments as Principal Proceeds on the related
Payment Date.

in any event no earlier than one Business Day following the Advancing Agent’s receipt of notice of
such Interest Shortfall), the Advancing Agent shall advance the difference between such amounts
(each such advance, an “
Interest Advance”) by deposit of an amount equal to such Interest
Advance in the Payment Account, subject to a determination of recoverability by the Advancing Agent
as described in
Section 10.10(b), and subject to a maximum limit in respect of any Payment
Date equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of such Interest Shortfalls that would otherwise
occur on the Class A Notes and Class B Notes and (ii) the aggregate of the interest payments not
received in respect of Non-Advancing Collateral Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no
circumstance will the Advancing Agent be required to make an Interest Advance in respect of a
Non-Advancing Collateral Obligation (x) to the extent that the aggregate outstanding amount of all
unreimbursed Interest Advances would exceed the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class
A Notes and the Class B Notes or (y) if the Class A/B Par Value Ratio on the relevant Measurement
Date is less than 100%. Any Interest Advance made by the Advancing Agent with respect to a Payment
Date that is in excess of the actual
- 206 -
Interest Shortfall for such Payment Date shall be refunded to the Advancing Agent by the
Trustee on the same Business Day that such Interest Advance was made (or, if such Interest Advance
is made prior to final determination by the Trustee of such Interest Shortfall, on the Business Day
of such final determination). The Advancing Agent shall provide the Trustee written notice of a
determination by the Advancing Agent that a proposed Interest Advance would constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance no later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the related Payment Date (or, in the event that the Advancing Agent did not receive
notice of the related Interest Shortfall on the related Determination Date, no later than the close
of business on the Business Day immediately following the Advancing Agent’s receipt of notice of
such Interest Shortfall). If the Advancing Agent shall fail to make any required Interest Advance
at or prior to the time at which distributions are to be made pursuant to Section 11.1(a),
the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, shall be required to make such Interest
Advance, subject to a determination of recoverability by the Trustee as described in Section
10.10(b). The Trustee shall be entitled to but not required to conclusively rely on any
affirmative determination by the Advancing Agent that an Interest Advance would constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance. Based upon available information at the time, the Trustee, the Collateral
Manager or the Advancing Agent will provide fifteen (15) days prior notice to each Rating Agency if
recovery of a Nonrecoverable Advance would result in an Interest Shortfall on the next succeeding
Payment Date. No later than the close of business on the Determination Date related to a Payment
Date on which the recovery of a Nonrecoverable Advance would result in an Interest Shortfall, the
Collateral Manager will provide each Rating Agency notice of such recovery.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Advancing Agent nor the
Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, as applicable, shall be required to make any
Interest Advance unless such Person determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith
that such Interest Advance, or such proposed Interest Advance, plus interest expected to accrue
thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, will be ultimately recoverable from subsequent payments or
collections with respect to all Assets and has determined in its reasonable judgment that the
recovery would not result in an Interest Shortfall. In determining whether any proposed Interest
Advance will be, or whether any Interest Advance previously made is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the
Advancing Agent or the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, as applicable, will take
into account:
(i) (A) amounts that may be realized on each Underlying Mortgage Property in
its “as is” or then current condition and occupancy and (B) with respect to an
Underlying Mortgage Property for which then current cash flow is reduced due to
construction or repositioning, amounts that may be realized from the projected cash
flow and value of such Underlying Mortgage Property; provided that the person making
the determination of recoverability has a reasonable belief that such projected cash
flow and value are achievable;
(ii) that the related Senior Tranches of any Collateral Obligation may be
required to be fully paid and any advances (and interest thereon) made in respect of
such Senior Tranches may be required to be fully reimbursed, prior to any amounts
recovered in respect of the Underlying Mortgage Properties are allocated or
otherwise made available to the Collateral Obligations;
- 207 -
(iii) the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to the
Underlying Mortgage Properties, the potential length of time before such Interest
Advance may be reimbursed and the resulting degree of uncertainty with respect to
such reimbursement; and
(iv) the fact that Interest Advances are intended to provide liquidity only and
not credit support to the Holders of the Class A Notes and the Holders of the Class
B Notes.
For purposes of any such determination of whether an Interest Advance constitutes or would
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, an Interest Advance will be deemed to be nonrecoverable if the
Advancing Agent or the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, as applicable,
determines that future Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds may be ultimately insufficient to
fully reimburse such Interest Advance, plus interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate within a
reasonable period of time. Absent bad faith, the determination by the Advancing Agent or the
Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, as applicable, as to the nonrecoverability of
any Interest Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Noteholders. It is understood and
agreed that the foregoing list is not meant to be exclusive and the Advancing Agent or the Trustee,
in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, may consider other factors in making any applicable
nonrecoverability determination.
(c) The Advancing Agent and the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, will each
be entitled to recover any previously unreimbursed Interest Advance made by it (including any
Nonrecoverable Advance), together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, first, from
Interest Proceeds and second (to the extent that there are insufficient Interest Proceeds for such
reimbursement), from Principal Proceeds to the extent that such reimbursement would not trigger an
additional Interest Shortfall; provided that if at any time an Interest Advance is determined to be
a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Advancing Agent or the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing
Agent, shall be entitled to recover all outstanding Interest Advances from the Collection Accounts
on any Business Day during any Interest Accrual Period prior to the related Determination Date (or
on a Payment Date prior to any payment of interest on or principal of the Notes in accordance with
the Priority of Payments) without regard to whether or not such reimbursement would result in an
Interest Shortfall. The Advancing Agent and the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing
Agent, shall be permitted (but not obligated) to defer or otherwise structure the timing of
recoveries of Nonrecoverable Advances in such manner as the Advancing Agent determines is in the
best interest of the Class A Noteholders and the Class B Noteholders as a collective whole, which
may include being reimbursed for Nonrecoverable Advances in installments.
(d) The Advancing Agent and the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, will each
be entitled with respect to any Interest Advance made by it (including Nonrecoverable Advances) to
interest accrued on the amount of such Interest Advance for so long as it is outstanding at the
Reimbursement Rate. Such Reimbursement Interest on any Interest Advance will be payable to the
Advancing Agent or Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, at the time of reimbursement
of the related Interest Advance, first, from Interest Proceeds and second, from Principal Proceeds.
- 208 -
(e) The Advancing Agent’s and the Trustee’s obligations to make Interest Advances in respect
of the Collateral Obligations will continue through the Stated Maturity, unless the Class A Notes
and the Class B Notes are previously redeemed or otherwise repaid in full.
(f) In no event will the Advancing Agent or the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing
Agent, be required to advance any payments in respect of principal or with respect to any Class of
Notes other than the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes or with respect to any Collateral
Obligation other than a Non-Advancing Collateral Obligation, and in no event will the Advancing
Agent or the Trustee, in its capacity as backup advancing agent, be required to advance any amounts
in respect of principal payments on any Collateral Obligation and in no event will the Advancing
Agent or the Trustee, in its capacity as backup advancing agent, be required to make a
Nonrecoverable Advance.
(g) In consideration of the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Advancing Agent
shall be entitled to receive, at the times set forth herein and subject to the Priority of
Payments, to the extent funds are available therefor, the Advancing Agent Fee. In consideration of
the Trustee’s back-up advancing obligations hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, at
the times set forth herein and subject to the Priority of Payments, to the extent funds are
available therefore, the Back-Up Advancing Agent Fee.
(h) The determination by the Advancing Agent or the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup
Advancing Agent, as applicable, (i) that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or (ii) that any
proposed Interest Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced
by an Officer’s Certificate delivered promptly to the Trustee (or, if applicable, retained
thereby), the Issuer, S&P, Fitch and Xxxxx’x, setting forth the basis for such determination;
provided that failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the
validity of, or the Advancing Agent or the Trustee’s entitlement to reimbursement with respect to,
any Interest Advance.
(i) If a Scheduled Distribution on any Collateral Obligation is not paid to the Trustee on the
Due Date therefor, the Trustee shall provide the Advancing Agent with notice of such default on the
Business Day immediately following such default. In addition, upon request, the Trustee shall
provide the Advancing Agent (either electronically or in hard-copy format), with copies of all
reports received from any trustee, trust administrator, master servicer or similar administrative
entity with respect to the Collateral Obligations and the Trustee shall promptly make available to
the Advancing Agent any other information reasonably available to the Trustee by reason of its
acting as Trustee hereunder to permit the Advancing Agent to make a determination of recoverability
with respect to any Interest Advance and to otherwise perform its advancing functions under this
Indenture.
Section 10.11. Reports by Parties.
(a) The Trustee shall supply, in a timely fashion, to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the
Collateral Manager any information regularly maintained by the Trustee that the Issuer, the Owner

writing that AG FP is no longer providing credit protection in respect of the Class A-2A Notes, the

qualified institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act)
and (ii) qualified purchasers (as defined under Section 3(c)(7) under the Investment

accordance with the Priority of Payments described in Section 11.1(a)(i) make a deposit to
a reserve fund (the “Reserve Fund Account”) from available Interest Proceeds until the

Reserve Fund Account will be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments described in
Section 11.1(a)(i).

(b) On each Payment Date after the occurrence of a Reserve Funding Event, any amounts on
deposit in the Reserve Fund Account shall be transferred by the Trustee to the Interest Collection
Account and treated as Interest Proceeds.
(c) The Trustee agrees to give the Issuer immediate notice if it becomes aware that the
Reserve Fund Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Reserve
Fund Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution
or similar process. The Issuer shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the
Reserve Fund Account. The Reserve Fund Account shall remain at all times with the Corporate Trust
Office of a financial institution having a long term debt rating by each Rating Agency at least
equal to “A” or “A2,” as applicable, and a short term debt rating at least equal to “A-1” or “P-1”
or “F1,” as applicable.
(d) The Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may direct the Trustee to, and upon such
direction the Trustee shall, invest all funds in the Reserve Fund Account in Eligible Investments
designated by the Collateral Manager and earnings on such Eligible Investments will be treated as
Interest Proceeds and distributed in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Any gain realized
from such investments shall be credited to the Reserve Fund Account, and any loss resulting from
such investments shall be charged to the Reserve Fund Account. The Trustee shall not in any way be
held liable (except as a result of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) by reason of any
insufficiency of such Reserve Fund Account resulting from any loss relating to any such investment,
except with respect to investments in obligations of the Trustee or any Affiliate thereof. If the
Trustee does not receive investment instructions from an Authorized Officer of the Collateral
Manager, the Trustee may invest funds received in the Reserve Fund Account in Eligible Investments
of the type described in clause (vii) of the definition thereto.

Manager has certified to the Trustee that each of the conditions applicable to such sale set forth
below has been satisfied, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer acting pursuant to the
Collateral Management Agreement may direct the Trustee in writing to sell, and the Trustee shall
sell in the manner directed by the Collateral Manager in writing (which writing shall specify

such security is otherwise permitted to be sold pursuant to this Section 12.1(a)):
(i) any Defaulted Security at any time; and
(ii) a Credit Risk Security, (A) during the Replenishment Period, if the
Collateral Manager has certified to the Trustee that it shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to purchase one or more Substitute Collateral Obligations having
an Aggregate Principal Balance no less than the Sale Proceeds (excluding accrued
interest) from such sale, and after giving effect to such sale and to the purchase
of Substitute Collateral Obligations with the Sale Proceeds thereof, in the
reasonable business judgment of the Collateral Manager (which may not be called into
question solely as a result of subsequent events), the Replenishment Criteria shall
be met and (B) after the Replenishment Period, at any time;
provided that, there will be no reinvestment in Substitute Collateral Obligations after the
Replenishment Period, and Principal Proceeds received by the Trustee in each Due Period after the
end of the Replenishment Period will be applied to pay principal of the Notes in accordance with
the Priority of Payments as described in Section 11.1(a).
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Manager (at its option and at any time)
shall be permitted to effect a sale of a Credit Risk Security or a Defaulted Security hereunder by
purchasing (or causing its Affiliate to purchase) such Defaulted Security or Credit Risk Security
from the Issuer for a cash purchase price that shall be equal to the sum of (i) the Aggregate
Principal Balance thereof plus (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest (or, in the case of a
- 238 -
Preferred Equity Security, all accrued and unpaid dividends or other distributions not
attributable to the return of capital by its governing documents) thereon.
(c) Reserved.
(d) After the Issuer has notified the Trustee of an Optional Redemption, a Clean-Up Call or a
Tax Redemption in accordance with Section 9.1 or an Auction Call Redemption in accordance
with Section 9.2, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer acting pursuant to the
Collateral Management Agreement may at any time direct the Trustee in writing to sell, and the
Trustee shall sell in the manner directed by the Collateral Manager in writing, any Collateral
Obligation without regard to the foregoing limitations in Section 12.1(a), provided that:
(i) the Sale Proceeds therefrom must be used to pay certain expenses and redeem
all of the Notes in whole but not in part pursuant to Sections 9.1 and
Section 9.2, and upon any such sale the Trustee shall release such
Collateral Obligation pursuant to Section 10.13;
(ii) the Issuer may not direct the Trustee to sell (and the Trustee shall not
be required to release) a Collateral Obligation pursuant to this Section
12.1(d) unless:
(1) the Collateral Manager certifies to the Trustee that (x) in the Collateral
Manager’s judgment based on calculations included in the certification (which shall
include the sales prices of each of the Collateral Obligations), the Sale Proceeds
from the sale of one or more of the Collateral Obligations and all Cash and proceeds
from Eligible Investments will be at least equal to the Total Redemption Price, and
(y) an Independent bond pricing service (which shall be one or more broker-dealers
selected by the Collateral Manager which are rated at least
“P-1” by Xxxxx’x and at
least “A-1+” by Standard & Poor’s and which make a market in the applicable
Collateral Obligations) has confirmed (which confirmation may be in the form of a
firm bid) the sales prices contained in the certification in clause (x) above (and

(2) the Independent accountants appointed by the Issuer pursuant to Section
10.14 shall confirm in writing the calculations made in clause (1)(x) above.

requirements set forth in Section 9.1(e) and Section 9.2, as
applicable.
(e) In the event that any Collateral Obligation becomes the subject of a conversion, exchange,
redemption or offer, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting
on behalf of the Issuer) shall take no action to acquire the asset or instrument into which such
Collateral Obligation is convertible or exchangeable unless such asset or instrument would qualify
as a Substitute Collateral Obligation. In the event of an
- 239 -
involuntary exchange or conversion of a Collateral Obligation, if the resulting asset or
instrument would not qualify as a Substitute Collateral Obligation, the Issuer (or the Collateral
Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) shall use its best efforts to sell such Collateral
Obligation prior to conversion or exchange and, in any event, shall refuse to accept, and shall not
acquire or hold, the asset or instrument offered in exchange.
(f) In the event that any Notes remain Outstanding as of the Payment Date occurring six months
prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes, the Collateral Manager will be required to determine
whether proceeds expected to be received on the Assets prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes
will be sufficient to pay in full the principal amount of (and accrued interest on) the Notes on
the Stated Maturity. If the Collateral Manager determines, in its sole discretion, that such
proceeds will not be sufficient to pay the outstanding principal amount of and accrued interest on
the Notes (a “Note Liquidation Event”) on the Stated Maturity of the Notes, the Issuer
will, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, be obligated to liquidate the portion of

Criteria below;
(v) the Coverage Tests are satisfied (or, except with respect to reinvestment
of proceeds of Defaulted Securities or scheduled Principal Proceeds, if not
satisfied, are maintained or improved);
(vi) if immediately prior to such investment the S&P CDO Monitor Test or the

(ii) each Hedge Counterparty, and of which each Rating Agency has been notified.
Section 12.4. Sale of Collateral Obligations with respect to an Auction Call
Redemption.
(a) Pre-Auction Process.
(i) Each Auction will occur on the Business Day that is at least twenty-four
(24) Business Days prior to the proposed Auction Call Redemption Date (such date,
the “Auction Date”).
(ii) The Collateral Manager will initiate the Auction Procedures at least five
(5) Business Days before the proposed Auction Call Redemption Date by: (a) preparing
a list of Collateral Obligations (including CUSIP Number, if any, par amount and
issuer name for each Collateral Obligation); (b) deriving a list of not less than
three qualified bidders (the “Listed Bidders”) and requesting from each
Listed Bidder bids by the applicable Auction Date; and (c) notifying the Trustee of
the list of Listed Bidders (the “List”).
(iii) The Collateral Manager will deliver a general solicitation package to the
Listed Bidders consisting of: (a) a form of a purchase agreement (“Auction
Purchase Agreement”) provided to the Trustee by the Collateral Manager (which
shall provide that (I) upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent therein, the
purchaser is irrevocably obligated to purchase, and the Issuer is irrevocably
obligated to sell, the Collateral Obligations on the date and on the terms stated
therein, (II) each bidder may tender a separate bid for one or more Collateral
Obligations in an Auction, (III) if the Collateral Obligations are to be sold to
different bidders, that the consummation of the purchase of all Collateral
Obligations must occur simultaneously and that the closing of each purchase is
conditional on the closing of the other purchases, (IV) if for any reason whatsoever
the Trustee has not received, by a specified Business Day (which shall be more than
ten Business Days before the proposed Auction Call Redemption Date), payment in full
in immediately available funds of the purchase price for all Collateral Obligations,
the obligations of the parties shall terminate and the Issuer shall have no
obligation or liability whatsoever and (V) any prospective purchasers will be
subject to the “limited recourse” and “non-petition” provisions set forth in this
Indenture), (b) the minimum aggregate Cash purchase price (which shall be determined
by the Collateral Manager as the Total Redemption Price less the balance of all
Eligible Investments and Cash in the Collection
- 242 -
Accounts, the Payment Account, the Delayed Funding Obligations Account, each
Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account and the Expense Account; (c) the list of
Collateral Obligations; (d) a formal bid sheet (which will permit a bidder to bid
for all of the Collateral Obligations or separately for any one or more (but not
all) Collateral Obligations and will include a representation from the bidder that
it is eligible to purchase all of the Collateral Obligations or any one or more (but
not all) Collateral Obligations) to be provided to the Trustee by the Collateral
Manager; (e) a detailed timetable; and (f) copies of all transfer documents provided
to the Trustee by the Collateral Manager (including transfer certificates and
subscription agreements which a bidder must execute pursuant to the underlying
instruments and a list of the requirements which the bidder must satisfy under the
underlying instruments (i.e., QIB status, Qualified Purchaser status, etc.)).
(iv) The Collateral Manager will send solicitation packages to all Listed
Bidders on the List at least 20 Business Days before the proposed Auction Call
Redemption Date. The Listed Bidders will be required to submit any due diligence
questions (or comments on the draft purchase agreement) in writing to the Collateral
Manager by a date specified in the solicitation package. The Collateral Manager will
be required to answer all reasonable and relevant questions by the date specified in
the solicitation package and the Collateral Manager will distribute the questions
and answers and the revised final Auction Purchase Agreement to all Listed Bidders
(with a copy to the Issuer and the Trustee).
(b) Auction Process.
(i) The Bank or its Affiliates may, but shall not be required to, bid at the
Auction. The Collateral Manager and its Affiliates may bid in the Auction if the
Collateral Manager deems such bidding to be appropriate but is not required to do
so.
(ii) On the second Business Day prior to the Auction Date (the “Auction Bid
Date”), all bids will be due by facsimile at the offices of the Trustee by 11:00
a.m. New York City time, with the winning bidder or bidders to be notified by 2:00
p.m. New York City time. All bids from Listed Bidders on the List will be due on
the bid sheet contained in the solicitation package. Each bid shall be for the
purchase and delivery to one purchaser (i) of all (but not less than all) of the
Collateral Obligations or (ii) of one or more (but not all) of the Collateral
Obligations.
(iii) Unless the Trustee receives (A) at least one bid from a Listed Bidder to
purchase all of the Collateral Obligations or (B) receives bids from one or more
Listed Bidders (to purchase one or more (but not all) Collateral Obligations) for
all Collateral Obligations in the aggregate, the Trustee will decline to consummate
the sale.
- 243 -
(iv) Subject to clause (iii) above, with the advice of the Collateral Manager,
the Trustee shall select the bid or bids which result in the Highest Auction Price
from one or more Listed Bidders (in excess of the specified minimum purchase price).
“Highest Auction Price” means the higher of (i) the highest price bid by any Listed
Bidder for all of the Collateral Obligations or (ii) the sum of the highest prices
bid by one or more Listed Bidders (for one or more (but not all) Collateral
Obligations) for all Collateral Obligations in the aggregate. In each case, the
price bid by a Listed Bidder will be the dollar amount which the Collateral Manager
certifies to the Trustee based on the Collateral Manager’s review of the bids, which
certification shall be binding and conclusive.
(v) Upon notification to the winning bidder or bidders, the winning bidder (or,
if the Highest Auction Price requires the sale of the Collateral Obligations to more
than one bidder, each winning bidder) will be required to deliver to the Trustee a
signed counterpart of the Auction Purchase Agreement no later than 4:00 p.m. New
York City time on the Auction Date. The winning bidder (or, if the Highest Auction
Price requires the sale of the Collateral Obligations to more than one bidder, each
winning bidder) will make payment in full of the purchase price on the Business Day
(the “Auction Purchase Closing Date”) specified in the general solicitation
package (which will be no later than ten Business Days prior to the proposed Auction
Call Redemption Date). If a winning bidder so requests, the Trustee and the Issuer
will enter into a bailee letter in the form agreed upon by the Trustee and the
Collateral Manager to this Indenture (a “Bailee Letter”) with each winning
bidder and its designated bank (which bank will be subject to approval by the Issuer
or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer), provided that such bank enters
into an account control agreement with the Trustee and the Issuer and has a long
term debt rating of at least “BBB+” by Standard & Poor’s and (if rated by Fitch) at
least “BBB+” by Fitch and (if rated by Xxxxx’x) at least “A2” by Xxxxx’x. If the
above requirements are satisfied, the Trustee will deliver the Collateral
Obligations (to be sold to such bidder) pursuant thereto to the bailee bank at least
one Business Day prior to the closing on the sale of the Collateral Obligations and
accept payment of the purchase price pursuant thereto. If payment in full of the
purchase price is not made by the Auction Purchase Closing Date for any reason
whatsoever (or, if the Collateral Obligations are to be sold to more than one
bidder, if any bidder fails to make payment in full of the purchase price by the
Auction Purchase Closing Date for any reason whatsoever), the Issuer will decline to
consummate the sale of all Collateral Obligations, the Trustee and the Issuer will
direct the bailee bank to return the Collateral Obligations to the Trustee, and (if
notice of redemption has been given by the Trustee) the Trustee will give notice (in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture) that the Auction Call Redemption will
not occur.
(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 9.2(b), the Collateral Manager or any of its
Affiliates, although it may not have been the highest bidder, will have the option
to purchase any one or more Collateral Obligations for a purchase price equal to the
highest bid therefor.
- 244 -
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 12.4, but
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.2(b) and the
consummation of the Auction Call Redemption, at the election of the Collateral Manager, in lieu of
initiating or conducting any Auction, the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates will have the
option to purchase all of the Collateral Obligations that would otherwise be subject to such
Auction for a price equal to the Total Redemption Price. Such purchase of Collateral Obligations
by the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 12.4(c) will be deemed
to be a Successful Auction pursuant to this Indenture.
Section 12.5. Modifications to Collateral Quality Tests or Coverage Tests.
In the event any of the Rating Agencies modifies the definitions or calculations relating to
(i) the method of calculating any of its respective Collateral Quality Tests (a “Collateral
Quality Test Modification”) or (ii) any of the Coverage Tests (a “Coverage Test
Modification”), in either case in order to correspond with published changes in the guidelines,
methodology or standards established by such Rating Agency, the Issuer may, but is under no
obligation solely as a result of this Section 12.5 to, incorporate corresponding changes
into this Indenture by an amendment hereto with the consent of 66-2/3%, by outstanding principal
amount, of the Controlling Class (provided, that if the Controlling Class does not respond to the
Issuer within seven (7) Business Days, the Controlling Class shall be deemed to have consented) if
(x)(1) in the case of a Collateral Quality Test Modification, the Rating Agency Condition is
satisfied with respect to the Rating Agency that made such modification or (2) in the case of a
Coverage Test Modification, the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to each Rating
Agency then rating the Notes and (y) written notice of such modification is delivered by the
Collateral Manager to the Trustee and to the Noteholders and the Certificateholder (which notice
may be included in the next regularly scheduled report to Noteholders). Any such Collateral
Quality Test Modification or Coverage Test Modification, as the case may be, shall be effected
without execution of a supplemental indenture; provided, however, that such amendment shall be (i)
evidenced by a written instrument executed and delivered by the Issuer and the Collateral Manager
and delivered to the Trustee, (ii) accompanied by delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of (A) an
Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer certifying that such amendment has been made pursuant to and in
compliance with this Section 12.5 and (B) if requested by the Trustee, an Opinion of
Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Section 12.5 and
that all applicable conditions precedent under this Section 12.5 have been satisfied, on
which such Officer’s Certificate or such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, as the case
may be, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such amendment
reasonably determined by the Trustee to be unduly burdensome to the Trustee, shall not take effect
without the Trustee’s express written consent.
Section 12.6. Post-Acquisition Compliance Tests.
(a) All Substitute Collateral Obligations (or Modified Collateral Obligations designated by
the Collateral Manager as Substitute Collateral Obligations) will be identified by the Collateral
Manager using standards similar to the review performed on the Initial Collateral Obligations of a
similar Property Type and Specified Type. The Collateral Manager will monitor the impact of the
Substitute Collateral Obligations on the Coverage Tests and the general credit quality of the pool.
- 245 -
(b) Within 10 Business Days of purchasing the Substitute Collateral Obligations (or Modified
Collateral Obligations designated by the Collateral Manager as Substitute Collateral Obligations),
the Collateral Manager will deliver to each Rating Agency a comprehensive set of asset and
underwriting materials in a form acceptable to the Rating Agencies (“Reinvestment Asset
Information”) describing each Substitute Collateral Obligation that has been acquired by the
Issuer. Upon the designation of a Modified Collateral Obligation as a Substitute Collateral
Obligation by the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager shall certify to the Trustee that,
based on the prior ratings provided by the Rating Agencies with respect to the Initial Collateral
Obligations of the same Property Type and Specified Type, it has determined that after giving
effect to such modification, the Xxxxx’x Post-Acquisition Compliance Test, the S&P Post-Acquisition
Compliance Test and the Fitch Post-Acquisition Compliance Test would be satisfied.
(c) After receiving the Reinvestment Asset Information, a Rating Agency may, in the case of
Xxxxx’x, Fitch and S&P, provide an estimated rating to the Collateral Manager necessary to confirm
whether a Xxxxx’x Post-Acquisition Compliance Test, a Fitch Post Acquisition Compliance Test or an
S&P Post-Acquisition Compliance Test failure has occurred.
(d) Within 60 days of finding a Xxxxx’x Post-Acquisition Compliance Test failure (a
“Xxxxx’x Post-Acquisition Failure”), the Collateral Manager shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to come into compliance with the Xxxxx’x Post-Acquisition Compliance Test to the
extent that the Collateral Manager believes it is in the best interest of the Noteholders by (i)
directing and assisting the Trustee to sell the Substitute Collateral Obligation that caused the
Xxxxx’x Post-Acquisition Failure, at a price at least equal to the price paid by the Issuer for the
Substitute Collateral Obligation, plus any fees and expenses attributable to such sale, (ii)
instructing and assisting the Trustee to sell any other Collateral Obligations (provided that the
sale price must be at a price at least equal to the price paid by the Issuer for the Collateral
Obligation, plus any fees and expenses attributable to such sale) and/or (iii) instructing and
assisting the Trustee to purchase additional Substitute Collateral Obligations (subject to the
Reinvestment Criteria) that ultimately would result in satisfaction of the Xxxxx’x Post-Acquisition
Compliance Test. Following a Xxxxx’x Post-Acquisition Failure, until such time as the Xxxxx’x
Post-Acquisition Compliance Test is satisfied, the Collateral Manager may purchase a Substitute
Collateral Obligation only if it has a Xxxxx’x Rating; provided, however, if the Xxxxx’x
Post-Acquisition Compliance Test is not satisfied within 60 days of a finding of a Xxxxx’x
Post-Acquisition Failure, each Collateral Obligation acquired must have a Xxxxx’x Rating until such
time as the Rating Agency Condition with respect to Xxxxx’x has been satisfied. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Xxxxx’x Post-Acquisition Compliance Test is not satisfied within 120 days of
a finding of a Xxxxx’x Post-Acquisition Failure, each Collateral Obligation thereafter acquired
must have a Xxxxx’x Rating regardless of whether the Xxxxx’x Post-Acquisition Compliance Test is
satisfied. In addition, if within 120 days of finding a Xxxxx’x Post-Acquisition Failure, such
failure is not cured, thereafter the Collateral Manager may only purchase a Substitute Collateral
Obligation if it has a Xxxxx’x Rating unless the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect
to Xxxxx’x.
(e) Within 60 days of finding an S&P Post-Acquisition Compliance Test failure (an “S&P
Post- Acquisition Failure”), the Collateral Manager may (i) direct and assist the
- 246 -
Trustee in selling the Substitute Collateral Obligation that caused the S&P Post-Acquisition
Failure, (ii) instruct and assist the Trustee to sell any other Collateral Obligations and/or (iii)
instruct and assist the Trustee to purchase additional Substitute Collateral Obligations (subject
to the Reinvestment Criteria) that ultimately would result in satisfaction of the S&P
Post-Acquisition Compliance Test. Until such time as the S&P Post-Acquisition Compliance Test is
met, the Collateral Manager may only purchase a Substitute Collateral Obligation if it has an S&P
Rating.
(f) Within 60 days of finding a Fitch Post Acquisition Compliance Test failure (a “Fitch
Post Acquisition Failure”), the Collateral Manager may (i) direct the Trustee to sell the
Substitute Collateral Obligation that caused the Fitch Post Acquisition Failure, (ii) instruct the
Trustee to sell any other Collateral Obligations and/or (iii) instruct the Trustee to purchase
additional Substitute Collateral Obligations, that would ultimately result in satisfaction of the
Fitch Post Acquisition Compliance Test.
(g) No more than 20% of the Initial Aggregate Collateral Balance (including any Modified
Collateral Obligations) can be purchased (or, in the case of Modified Collateral Obligations,
designated by the Collateral Manager as Substitute Collateral Obligations) by the Issuer pending
satisfaction of any of the Xxxxx’x Post Acquisition Compliance Test, the S&P Post Acquisition
Compliance Test and the Fitch Post Acquisition Compliance Test. In addition, no single Collateral
Obligation collateralized or backed by interests on any Property Type that is identified herein as
a Non-Core Property Type may be purchased if it represents more than 5% of the Aggregate Collateral
Balance, and no single other Collateral Obligation may be so purchased if it represents more than
10% of the Aggregate Collateral Balance, unless such Collateral Obligation is rated by one of the
Rating Agencies. No Collateral Obligation (A) which is collateralized or backed by interests on
Land Properties or Construction Properties, (B) with respect to which the underlying property is
located outside of the United States and associated commonwealths, territories and possessions or
(C) which is issued by an issuer incorporated or organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other
than the United States, any state, commonwealth, territory or possession of the United States and
the District of Columbia may be purchased unless such Collateral Obligation has a Xxxxx’x Rating.
Section 12.7. Mandatory Repurchase or Substitution of Collateral Obligations.
In the event that an officer of the CLO Servicer, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee or the
Seller determines or receives notice that (i) a Collateral Obligation, as of its date of transfer
to the Issuer, did not satisfy the Eligibility Criteria, (ii) there was a breach of a
representation and warranty with respect to a Collateral Obligation as of its date of transfer to
the Issuer (notwithstanding that such representation and warranty was made to the Seller’s best
knowledge), and such breach is not cured in all material respects within thirty (30) days of the
later of such determination or receipt of such notice, or (iii) a Collateral Obligation would cause
(or has caused) CapitalSource Inc. (or any of its Affiliates that is a REIT, as relevant) to fail
to satisfy the requirements of Section 856(c)(4) of the Code (any such Collateral Obligation, an
“Ineligible Collateral Obligation”), then (a) the Trust Depositor and Seller must
repurchase such Ineligible Collateral Obligation by depositing in the Principal Collection Account
and Interest Collection Account, as applicable, the Repurchase Price, (b) the Trust Depositor and
Seller must substitute for such Collateral Obligation a Replacement Collateral Obligation in
accordance with
- 247 -
the applicable Collateral Obligation Purchase Agreement (provided that the Trust Depositor and
Seller shall execute a new Collateral Obligation Purchase Agreement with respect to such Collateral
Obligation) or (c) in respect of clause (iii) above, the Collateral Manager must otherwise dispose
of such Collateral Obligation. In the event that the Trust Depositor and Seller substitutes a
Replacement Collateral Obligation for such Ineligible Collateral Obligation, the requirements set
forth Section 12.8 (including, without limitation, the Replenishment Criteria) must be
satisfied. The Repurchase Price for a Collateral Obligation may equal, exceed or be less than the
fair market value of such Collateral Obligation on the date of repurchase.
Section 12.8. Optional Repurchase or Substitution of Collateral Obligations.
(a) If the Issuer, Collateral Manager or CLO Servicer determines in its reasonable business
judgment that:
(i) a Collateral Obligation becomes a Written Down Security or a Credit Risk
Security;
(ii) a Collateral Obligation has a material covenant default;
(iii) a Collateral Obligation becomes a Defaulted Security; or
(iv) a Collateral Obligation either (A) does not constitute a “real estate
asset” within the meaning of Section 856(c)(5)(B) of the Code or (B) produces (or
will produce) income not described in Section 856(c)(2) of the Code or gross income
from prohibited transactions within the meaning of Section 857(b)(6) of the Code;
then the Trust Depositor and Seller, after the expiration of any applicable cure periods,
shall have the option to substitute for that Collateral Obligation one or more Collateral
Obligations subject to a new Collateral Obligation Purchase Agreement and satisfying the
Eligibility Criteria and satisfying the criteria described below (each a “Replacement
Collateral Obligation”) or to repurchase such Collateral Obligation at a price equal to the
Repurchase Price for such Collateral Obligation; provided that, the aggregate Principal Balance of
all such Collateral Obligations which are the subject of an optional repurchase or substitution by
the Seller pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv) above may not exceed 20% of the Initial Aggregate
Collateral Balance.
(b) After giving effect to each substitution of a Replacement Collateral Obligation, the
Eligibility Criteria and the Replenishment Criteria must be, and the Collateral Manager shall
certify to the Trustee that the Eligibility Criteria and the Replenishment Criteria are, satisfied
for the applicable Replacement Collateral Obligation to become part of the Assets (or, if any
component of the Replenishment Criteria was not satisfied prior to giving effect to such
substitution, compliance with such component shall be maintained or improved after giving effect to
such substitution if such component can be satisfied by such maintenance or improvement).
(c) In addition, the substitution of any Replacement Collateral Obligation into the Assets
will be subject to the following requirements:
- 248 -
(i) the Principal Balance of each Replacement Collateral Obligation must, or,
if more than one Replacement Collateral Obligation will be added in replacement of a
Collateral Obligation, the sum of the Principal Balances of such Replacement
Collateral Obligations must, equal or exceed the Principal Balance of the Collateral
Obligation being replaced; provided that, during the Replenishment Period, this
requirement shall be deemed satisfied if the sum of the Principal Balance(s) of the
applicable Replacement Collateral Obligation(s) plus the Principal Balance(s) of any
Substitute Collateral Obligation(s) acquired by the Issuer in a substantially
contemporaneous acquisition, equals or exceeds the Principal Balance of the
Collateral Obligation being replaced; and
(ii) all actions or additional actions (if any) necessary to perfect the
security interest and assignment of such Replacement Collateral Obligation being
substituted and the related property to the Trust Depositor, the Seller, the Issuer
and the Trustee shall have been taken as of or prior to the date of substitution of
such Replacement Collateral Obligation.
(d) The Seller will have (a) during the Replenishment Period, no more than 90 days and (b)
after the Replenishment Period, no more than 90 days in which to complete a substitution pursuant
to this Section 12.8. A substitution pursuant to this Section 12.8 may be
accomplished by either (i) a contemporaneous substitution of a Collateral Obligation meeting the
criteria specified in this Section 12.8 for the Collateral Obligation being replaced or
(ii) a deposit by the Seller into the Principal Collection Account of the Repurchase Price with
respect to the Collateral Obligation being replaced and then, (x) during the Replenishment Period,
within 90 days and (y) after the Replenishment Period, within 180 days, the sale by the Trust
Depositor to the Issuer of one or more Replacement Collateral Obligations in exchange for the funds
so deposited. In the event that the full Repurchase Price is not used to purchase Replacement
Collateral Obligations within either the 90 day or 180 day period, as applicable, then the
remaining amount of such funds previously deposited as described above will be distributed from the
Principal Collection Account and distributed in accordance with the Priority of Payments on the
next Payment Date. The Repurchase Price paid (or, in the case of a contemporaneous conveyance of a
Replacement Collateral Obligation pursuant to the Collateral Obligation Purchase Agreement, deemed
paid) by the Issuer for any Replacement Collateral Obligation may equal, exceed or be less than the
fair market value of such Replacement Collateral Obligation as of the date of repurchase or
substitution.
(e) The Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall present each Replacement Collateral
Obligation proposed to be included in the portfolio to each Rating Agency in order that each Rating
Agency may provide a rating and a recovery rate with respect to such Replacement Collateral
Obligation; provided that (i) such Replacement Collateral Obligation may become a part of the
portfolio prior to the Collateral Manager’s presentment of the Replacement Collateral Obligation to
the Rating Agencies and (ii) the Collateral Manager’s failure to present a Replacement Collateral
Obligation to the Rating Agencies as described herein shall not constitute an independent breach
of, or default under, any Transaction Document, although any Replacement Collateral Obligation
which has not been submitted to each Rating Agency as described herein within 60 days after the
related transfer date to the Issuer will be deemed to be a Defaulted Security.

ARTICLE 14.
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 14.1. Form of Documents Delivered to the Trustee.
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion
of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by
the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document,
but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more
other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to
such matters in one or several documents.
- 255 -
Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it
relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless
such Authorized Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the
certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or
opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or
Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of, or representations by, the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or any other Person, stating
that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, the
Collateral Manager or such other Person, unless such Authorized Officer of the Issuer or such
counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are
erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may also be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters,
upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Authorized Officer of the Issuer,
stating that the information with respect to such matters is in the possession of the Issuer,
unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such
matters are erroneous.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,
consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may,
but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation
of a Default or Event of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the
Trustee at the request or direction of the Issuer, then notwithstanding that the satisfaction of
such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer’s rights to make such request or direction,
the Trustee shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does
not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such Default or Event of Default as
provided in Section 6.1(e).
Section 14.2. Acts of Securityholders.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Securityholders may be embodied in and evidenced
by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders in person
or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee,
and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the
action or actions embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
“Act” of the Securityholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of
this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner
provided in this Section 14.2.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be
proved in any manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) The principal amount and registered numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of
his holding the same, shall be proved by the Notes Register. The registered
- 256 -
portion of the Certificate held by any Person, and the date of his holding the same, shall be
proved by the register maintained with respect to the Certificate.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by
the Securityholder shall bind such Securityholder (and any transferee thereof) of such Security and
of every Security issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof,
in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the
Shares Registrar or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made
upon such Security.

Section 14.4. Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice to
Holders of Notes of any event,
(a) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Notes if in writing and mailed,

Holders of Notes. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any
other cause, it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification to
Holders of Notes shall be made with the approval of the Trustee and shall constitute sufficient
notification to such Holders of Notes for every purpose hereunder.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing
by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver
shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the
Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver.
In the event that, by reason of the suspension of the regular mail service as a result of a
strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to
Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture,
then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be
a sufficient giving of such notice.

For so long as any Notes (other than the Class A-1R Notes) are listed on the Irish Stock
Exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, all notices to Noteholders of such Notes will
be published in the Daily Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange.

HEDGE AGREEMENT
Section 16.1. Issuer’s Obligations under Hedge Agreement.
(a) On each day, the Issuer shall maintain one or more Hedge Transactions, provided that each
such Hedge Transaction shall:
(i) be entered into with a Qualified Hedge Counterparty and governed by a Hedge
Agreement; and
(ii) be maintained so that: (A) the aggregate outstanding notional amount of
all Hedge Transactions hedging the Floating Rate Securities for any current or
future Due Period thereunder will not be greater than the aggregate Principal
Balance of the Floating Rate Securities for the corresponding Due Period by more
than the Floating Rate Permitted Excess Amount; (B) the aggregate outstanding
notional amount of all Hedge Transactions hedging the Fixed Rate Securities for any
current or future Due Period thereunder will not be greater than the aggregate
Principal Balance of the Fixed Rate Securities for the corresponding Due Period by
more than the Fixed Rate Permitted Excess Amount; and (C) on any date after the
Offered Notes are no longer outstanding, the aggregate outstanding notional amount
of all Hedge Transactions for any current or future Due Period shall not exceed the
Aggregate Outstanding Balance for the corresponding Interest Accrual Period.
(b) Each Hedge Agreement shall provide that any scheduled periodic payments required to be
made by the Issuer and the Hedge Counterparty on the same date with respect to a Hedge Transaction
will be netted so that only the net difference between such payments will be paid, with any net
periodic payments to be paid into the Principal Collection Account and Interest Collection Account
(if payable by the Hedge Counterparty, such payments, “Net Trust Hedge Receipts”) or, as
applicable, from the Principal Collection Account and Interest Collection Account (if payable by
the Issuer, such payments, “Net Trust Hedge Payments”) and distributed in accordance with
Section 10.2(f) and the Priority of Payments.
(c) As additional security hereunder, the Issuer hereby assigns to the Trustee, on behalf of
the Noteholders and each Hedge Counterparty, all right, title and interest of the Issuer in each
Hedge Agreement, each Hedge Transaction, and all present and future amounts payable by a Hedge
Counterparty to the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the respective Hedge Agreement and Hedge
Transaction(s) with that Hedge Counterparty (“Hedge Collateral”), and Grants a security
interest to the Trustee, as agent for the Noteholders and each Hedge Counterparty, in the Hedge
Collateral. The Issuer acknowledges that, as a result of that
- 262 -
assignment, the Issuer may not, without the prior written consent of the Trustee, exercise any
rights under any Hedge Agreement or Hedge Transaction, except for the Issuer’s right under any
Hedge Agreement to enter into Hedge Transactions in order to meet the Issuer’s obligations under
this Section 16.1. Nothing herein shall have the effect of releasing the Issuer from any
of its obligations under any Hedge Agreement or any Hedge Transaction, nor be construed as
requiring the consent of the Trustee, any Noteholder or any Hedge Counterparty for the performance
by the Issuer of any such obligations.
(d) The Issuer hereby agrees to maintain a register of outstanding Hedge Agreements. Such
register shall contain the name of each Hedge Counterparty as well as the address of each Hedge
Counterparty. The Issuer shall provide such names and addresses to the Trustee, the Back-up
Servicer and each Rating Agency on a current basis.
(e) The Trustee shall, upon notice from the Issuer, establish a single, segregated trust
account which shall be designated as the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account, which shall be held
in trust in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties
and over which the Trustee shall have the exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal. The
Trustee shall deposit all collateral received from a Hedge Counterparty under a Hedge Agreement in
the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account. Any and all funds at any time on deposit in, or
otherwise to the credit of, the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account shall be held in trust by the
Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparties. The only permitted
withdrawals from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Hedge
Counterparty Collateral Account shall be upon Issuer Order (i) for application to obligations of a
Hedge Counterparty to the Issuer under Hedge Agreement if such Hedge Agreement becomes subject to
early termination or (ii) to return collateral to such Hedge Counterparty when and as required by
such Hedge Agreement. The Trustee shall be fully protected in relying upon such Issuer Order.
Each Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account shall be held in accordance with the terms of the
related Hedge Agreement.
(f) Each Hedge Agreement will provide that if at any time the Hedge Counterparty or the Hedge
Counterparty’s credit support provider (i) does not have the long-term or short-term ratings
required to be a Qualified Hedge Counterparty then the Hedge Counterparty shall, within ten (10)
days of such failure to maintain the required ratings, transfer (at its own cost) all of its rights
and obligations under the Hedge Agreement to another Person that is a Qualified Hedge Counterparty
in accordance with the terms of the Hedge Agreement or (ii) fails to meet the rating thresholds set
forth in clause (a)(i) of the definition of “Qualified Hedge Counterparty”, then the Hedge
Counterparty shall either post collateral within 30 days as provided in the Credit Support Annex to
the Hedge Agreement or transfer (at its own cost) all of its rights and obligations under the Hedge
Agreement to another Person in accordance with the terms of the Hedge Agreement; provided that each
Hedge Agreement shall provide that any amendments thereto or replacements thereof shall be subject
to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to such amendment or replacement,
as the case may be. Failure by the Hedge Counterparty to comply with this Section 16.1(f)
shall be a termination event under the Hedge Agreement.
- 263 -
Section 16.2. Collateral Obligations Purchase Agreements.
Following the Closing Date, unless a Collateral Obligations Purchase Agreement is necessary to
comply with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer may acquire Collateral Obligations in
accordance with customary settlement procedures in the relevant markets. In any event, the Issuer
shall obtain from any seller of a Loan, all Underlying Instruments with respect to each Collateral
Obligation and all Underlying Instruments related to any related Senior Tranche that govern,
directly or indirectly, the rights and obligations of the owner of the Collateral Obligation with
respect to the Underlying Term Loan, the Underlying Mortgage Property and the Collateral Obligation
and any certificate evidencing the Collateral Obligation.
Section 16.3. Cure Rights.
(a) If the Issuer, as holder of a Loan, has the right pursuant to the related Underlying
Instruments to cure an event of default on the Underlying Term Loan, the Collateral Manager may, in
accordance with the Collateral Manager Servicing Standard advance from its own funds with respect
to the Loan as a reimbursable Cure Advance, all such amounts as are necessary to effect the timely
cure of such event of default pursuant to the terms of the related Underlying Instruments; provided
that (i) such advances may only be made (A) to the extent that the Collateral Manager reasonably
believes that such cash advances can be repaid from future payments on the related underlying
commercial mortgage loan and in accordance with the Collateral Manager’s Servicing Standard
(subject to override by the CLO Servicer pursuant to Section 1.5) and (B) if the Collateral
Manager receives written instruction from the Certificateholder with respect thereto, and (ii) the
particular advance would not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Cure Advance. The determination
by the Collateral Manager that it has made a Nonrecoverable Cure Advance or that any proposed Cure
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Cure Advance shall be made by the Collateral
Manager in its reasonable good faith judgment in accordance with the Collateral Manager Servicing
Standard and shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered promptly to the Trustee,
setting forth the basis for such determination, accompanied by an appraisal, if available, or an
independent broker’s opinion of the value of the Underlying Mortgage Property and any information
that the Collateral Manager may have obtained and that supports such determination. The Collateral
Manager will be entitled to reimbursement in respect of each Cure Advance from any subsequent
payments or recoveries on each Collateral Obligation in respect of which such Cure Advance was made
in accordance with the Priority of Payments if such reimbursement would not cause an Interest
Shortfall; provided that, if at any time the Collateral Manager shall determine in its sole
discretion (subject to override by the CLO Servicer as provided in Section 1.5 herein),
exercised in good faith and in accordance with the Collateral Manager Servicing Standard, that a
Cure Advance previously made is a Nonrecoverable Cure Advance, the Collateral Manager shall be
entitled to reimbursements for such Nonrecoverable Cure Advance from subsequent payments or
collections with respect to the Assets on any Business Day during any Interest Accrual Period prior
to the related Determination Date (or on a Payment Date prior to any payment of interest on or
principal of the Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments), first, from Interest Proceeds
and, second (to the extent that there are insufficient Interest Proceeds for such reimbursement),
from Principal Proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Manager will be permitted
(but not obligated) to defer or otherwise structure the timing of recovery of any Nonrecoverable
Cure Advance in such manner as the Collateral Manager
- 264 -
determines is in the best interest of the Noteholders as a collective whole, which may include
being reimbursed for such Nonrecoverable Cure Advance in installments; provided that the Collateral
Manager will not be permitted to defer recovery of any Nonrecoverable Cure Advance (or any portion
thereof) on any Payment Date to the extent that there are amounts available to be distributed to
the Owner Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Distribution Account on such Payment Date for
distribution to the Certificateholder in accordance with the Priority of Payments without regard to
such deferral.
(b) On the Business Day preceding each Determination Date, the Collateral Manager may request
by Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, reimbursement for any (x) Cure Advance or (y)
Nonrecoverable Cure Advance, from any amounts received with respect to the related Collateral
Obligation or the Assets, respectively. No later than the Payment Date related to the
Determination Date for which the Collateral Manager has delivered an Officer’s Certificate
requesting reimbursement of a Cure Advance or a Nonrecoverable Cure Advance, the Trustee shall
transfer to the Collateral Manager, by wire transfer to an account identified to the Trustee in
writing, the amount of such Cure Advance or Nonrecoverable Cure Advance, as applicable.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Collateral Manager shall
not be required to make any Cure Advance that it determines in its reasonable, good faith judgment
would constitute a Nonrecoverable Cure Advance as determined pursuant to Section 16.3(a).
Section 16.4. Purchase Right; Certificateholder.
If the Issuer, as holder of a subordinate Participation or B Note, has the right pursuant to
the related Underlying Instruments to purchase any related Senior Tranche(s), the Issuer may, and
shall if directed by the Certificateholder, exercise such right, if the Collateral Manager
determines based on the Collateral Manager Servicing Standard (subject to override by the CLO
Servicer as provided in Section 1.5 herein) that the exercise of the option would be in the
best interest of the Noteholders, but may not exercise such right if the Collateral Manager
determines otherwise. The Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
certifying such determination, accompanied by an Act of the Certificateholder directing the Issuer
to exercise such right. In connection with the purchase of any such Senior Tranche(s), the Issuer
shall assign to the Certificateholder or its designee all of its right, title and interest in such
Senior Tranche(s) in exchange for a purchase price (such price and any other associated expense of
such exercise to be paid by the Certificateholder) of the Senior Tranche(s) (or, if the Underlying
Instruments permit, the Issuer may assign the purchase right to the Certificateholder or its
designee; otherwise the Certificateholder or its designee shall fund the purchase by the Issuer,
which shall then assign the Senior Tranche(s) to the Certificateholder or its designee) (the
“Purchase Option Purchase Price”), which amount shall be delivered by the Certificateholder
or its designee from its own funds to or upon the instruction of the Collateral Manager in
accordance with terms of the Underlying Instruments related to the acquisition of such Senior
Tranche(s). The Trustee or the Issuer shall execute and deliver at the Certificateholder’s
direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Certificateholder, in each
case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title to the Certificateholder or its
designee of the Senior Tranche(s) and the Trustee shall have no
- 265 -
responsibility with regard to such Senior Tranche(s). As a condition to the exercise of any
such purchase right by the Issuer on behalf of the Certificateholder, the purchaser of the Senior
Tranche and the Issuer will enter into a customary intercreditor agreement if there is not an
applicable existing intercreditor agreement. As long as the Issuer owns the related Collateral
Obligation, the Issuer shall not exercise any purchase rights with respect to a Participation or B
Note that is a pari passu interest relative to another Participation or B Note related to the same
mortgage loan; provided, however, that the Collateral Manager may (in accordance with the
Collateral Manager Servicing Standard) assign such right to third parties to the extent that it is
able to do so pursuant to the terms of the related Underlying Instruments.
Section 16.5. Representations and Warranties Related to Subsequent Collateral
Obligations.
(a) If the Collateral Obligation is a Subsequent Collateral Obligation, upon the acquisition
of such Subsequent Collateral Obligation by the Issuer, the related seller has made or assigned to
the Issuer the following:
(i) (A) representations and warranties in form and substance substantially
similar to the representations and warranties set forth as Schedule H with
respect to the Underlying Term Loan and the Underlying Mortgage Property (except
with respect to Mezzanine Loans) and (B) representations and warranties regarding
good title, no liens, no modifications, no defaults and valid assignment with
respect to the Loan itself; and
(ii) in the case of a B Note, the representations and warranties in form and
substance substantially similar to the representations and warranties set forth as
Schedule I with respect to such B Note;
(iii) in the case of a Participation, the representations and warranties in
form and substance substantially similar to the representations and warranties set
forth as Schedule J with respect to such Participation;
(iv) in the case of a Mezzanine Loan, the representations and warranties in
form and substance substantially similar to the representations and warranties set
forth as Schedule K with respect to such Mezzanine Loan;
(v) in the case of a Preferred Equity Security, the representations and
warranties in form and substance substantially similar to the representations and
warranties set forth as Schedule M with respect to such Preferred Equity
Security;
(vi) in the case of a CMBS Security, the representations and warranties in form
and substance substantially similar to the representations and warranties set forth
as Schedule L with respect to such CMBS Security; and
(vii) representations and warranties that the Collateral Obligation satisfies
the Eligibility Criteria and that, in the event that it receives notice that such
Collateral Obligation is or becomes an Ineligible Collateral Obligation, it
- 266 -
will repurchase and/or replace such Collateral Obligation in accordance with
Section 12.7.
(b) The representations and warranties in Section 16.5(a) with respect to the
acquisition of a Subsequent Collateral Obligation may be subject to any modification, limitation or
qualification that the Collateral Manager determines to be acceptable in accordance with the
Collateral Manager Servicing Standard; provided that the Collateral Manager will provide each
Rating Agency with a report attached to each Monthly Report identifying each such modification,
exception, limitation or qualification received with respect to the acquisition of any Subsequent
Collateral Obligation during the period covered by the Monthly Report, which report may contain
explanations by the Collateral Manager as to its determinations.
(c) The Issuer shall obtain a covenant from the Person making any representation or warranty
to the Issuer pursuant to Section 16.5(a) that such Person shall, in accordance with
Section 12.7, substitute and/or repurchase the related Collateral Obligation if any such
representation or warranty is breached (but only after the expiration of any permitted cure periods
and failure to cure such breach). The purchase price for any Collateral Obligation repurchased
(the “Repurchase Price”) shall be a price equal to the sum of the following (in each case,
without duplication) as of the date of such repurchase: (i) the outstanding principal amount
thereof, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Collateral Obligation, plus (iii) any
unreimbursed advances, plus (iv) accrued and unpaid interest on advances on the Collateral
Obligation, plus (v) any reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, the cost of
any enforcement action, incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee in connection with any such purchase
by a seller).
Section 16.6. Operating Advisor; Additional Debt.
If the Issuer, as holder of a B Note, a Participation, Preferred Equity Security or a
Mezzanine Loan, has the right pursuant to the related Underlying Instruments to appoint the
operating advisor, directing holder or Person serving a similar function under the Underlying
Instruments, each of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager shall take such actions as
are reasonably necessary to appoint the Collateral Manager to such position. If the Issuer, as
holder of a B Note, a Participation or a Mezzanine Loan, has the right pursuant to the related
Underlying Instruments to consent to the related obligor incurring any additional debt, such
consent will be subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.
ARTICLE 17.

None of the Advancing Agent or any of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents
shall be under any liability for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action

and limited liability company agreement of the Advancing Agent, (ii) the terms of any indenture,

Advance by the Advancing Agent to the Trustee within 30 days of such failure, such Advancing Agent
shall be deemed to have automatically (and without the need for any act on the part of any Person)

(g) The Issuer shall give prompt notice of each resignation and each removal of the Advancing
Agent and each appointment of a successor Advancing Agent by mailing written notice of such event
by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Rating Agency, each
- 270 -
Hedge Counterparty and to the Noteholders as their names and addresses appear in the Notes
Register.
(h) No resignation or removal of the Advancing Agent and no appointment of a Successor
Advancing Agent shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the Successor
Advancing Agent.
Section 17.6. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Advancing Agent.
(a) Every successor Advancing Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to the Issuer, each Hedge Counterparty, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee and the retiring
Advancing Agent an instrument accepting such appointment. Upon delivery of the required

such successor Advancing Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested
with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Advancing Agent.
(b) No appointment of a successor Advancing Agent shall become effective unless each Rating
Agency has confirmed in writing that the employment of such successor would not adversely affect
the rating on the Notes.
ARTICLE 18.
CLASS A-1R NOTES
Section 18.1. Class A-1R Draw Amount; Limits and Requirements For Available
Commitments.
(a) Pursuant to the Class A-1R Note Purchase Agreement and subject to compliance with the
conditions set forth therein and herein, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the
Issuer) may request, and the Holders of the Class A-1R Notes (or any Liquidity Provider with
respect to such Holders) shall be obligated to make, advances under the Class A-1R Notes (each such
advance, a “Class A-1R Draw”). Pursuant to the Class A-1R Note Purchase Agreement, each
holder of the Class A-1R Notes shall commit to fund one or more Class A-1R Draws, subject to
compliance with certain borrowing conditions specified therein and herein, to the Issuer in an
aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding of up to the full amount of its respective
Class A-1R Commitment.
(b) On any Business Day prior to the Commitment Termination Time, the Issuer may (at the
direction of the Collateral Manager, acting pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement)
request, and the holders of the Class A-1R Notes if so requested shall advance, Class A-1R Draws
(the date of any such Class A-1R Draw, a “Class A-1R Draw Date”); provided that the
Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A-1R Notes (assuming that the full amount requested is
advanced) shall not exceed the Maximum Class A-1R Commitment and each other applicable condition to
such Class A-1R Draw set forth in the Class A-1R Note Purchase Agreement is satisfied.
Notwithstanding the failure to satisfy any such conditions and except under certain circumstances
specified in the Class A-1R Note Purchase Agreement, the holders of Class A-1R Notes will be
obligated to make advances to the Issuer in
- 271 -
connection with Class A-1R Draws. Any Class A-1R Draw shall be made by the Collateral Manager
on behalf of the Issuer, pro rata, according to the unused portion of the Class A-1R Commitment of
each holder of Class A-1R Notes.
(c) The aggregate amount of all Class A-1R Commitments shall be equal to up to
U.S.$200,000,000 on the Closing Date (the “Maximum Class A-1R Commitment”). After the
Replenishment Period, the Collateral Manager shall be able to make a one time election to reduce
the Maximum Class A-1R Commitment in an amount specified to the Trustee and the Class A-1R Note
Agent in writing. The Class A-1R Commitments will terminate on the first to occur of the following
(the “Commitment Termination Time”): (i) the date on which the future advance amounts
relating to Future Advance Loans and Revolving Loans are reduced to zero and the Collateral Manager
has notified the Trustee in writing that it will not cause the Issuer to acquire any further Future
Funding Loans and Revolving Loans; (ii) the date on which the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each
of the Class A-1A Notes and the Class A-1R Notes has been paid in full; or (iii) the Redemption
Date.
(d) Draws may be made from time to time in accordance with the Class A-1R Note Purchase
Agreement. The Issuer shall duly and punctually perform each of its obligations under the Class
A-1R Note Purchase Agreement. The Issuer shall not be required, and pursuant to the Class A-1R
Note Purchase Agreement shall be under no obligation, to borrow any amount under the Class A-1R
Notes on the Closing Date or at any other time; provided, that the Issuer may be subject to a
Class A-1R Commitment Fee on any undrawn amount. During the Replenishment Period, amounts may be
borrowed, repaid and re borrowed through Class A-1R Draws, to fund future advance amounts relating
to Issuer Held Delayed Draw Loans and Issuer Held Revolving Loans, to acquire and fund future
advance amounts relating to Third-Party Held Delayed Draw Loans and Third-Party Held Revolving
Loans, to acquire additional Collateral Obligations and for any other purpose permitted under the
Class A-1R Note Purchase Agreement. After the last day of the Replenishment Period, no further
Class A-1R Draws may be made except to fund advances relating to Issuer Held Delayed Draw Loans and
Issuer Held Revolving Loans or to acquire and fund advances relating to Third-Party Held Delayed
Draw Loans and Third-Party Held Revolving Loans.
(e) Not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day prior to a
proposed Class A-1R Draw, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall provide notice to
the Class A-1R Note Agent (with a copy to the Trustee) of the Issuer’s intention to effect a Class
A-1R Draw. Any such notice shall include: (a) the Class A-1R Draw Date, (b) the amount of such
Class A-1R Draw and (c) wire instructions and account information for the Class A-1R Draw. Each
Class A-1R Draw shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to U.S.$500,000 (and integral
multiples of U.S.$1.00 in excess thereof) (or the remaining available amount of the Class A-1R
Commitments if such remaining amount is less than U.S.$500,000). Promptly following receipt of a
Class A-1R Draw request, the Class A-1R Note Agent shall be obligated pursuant to the Class A-1R
Note Purchase Agreement to forward a copy of such request by fax or e mail to each holder of Class
A-1R Notes (with a copy to the Trustee). The holders of Class A-1R Notes shall be required to fund
such Class A-1R Draw on the second Business Day following the Business Day on which such notice is
received by the Class A-1R Note Agent or, if later, the Class A-1R Draw Date specified in such
notice.
- 272 -
(f) At any time, Principal Proceeds, Class A-1R Draws and amounts on deposit in the Delayed
Funding Obligations Account (with respect to Issuer Held Delayed Draw Loans and Issuer Held
Revolving Loans only) and the Class A-1R Suspense Account (with respect to Third-Party Held Delayed
Draw Loans and Third-Party Held Revolving Loans only) may be applied to fund future advances or
future draws relating to Issuer Held Delayed Draw Loans or Issuer Held Revolving Loans or to
acquire and fund future advances or future draws relating to Third-Party Held Delayed Draw Loans or
Third-Party Held Revolving Loans, as applicable, as described in Section 10.5 and
Section 10.7. After the occurrence of an Event of Default but prior to acceleration of the
Notes, Class A-1R Draws shall be applied only to fund future advance amounts relating to Issuer
Held Delayed Draw Loans and Issuer Held Revolving Loans included in the Collateral Obligations and
to acquire and fund future advance amounts relating to Third-Party Held Delayed Draw Term Loans and
Third-Party Held Revolving Loans included in the Collateral Obligations, and shall not be used to
acquire any other Collateral Obligations
(g) To the extent that a Class A-1R Draw (or a portion thereof) is being made to fund future
advance amounts relating to Issuer Held Delayed Draw Loans or Issuer Held Revolving Loans, the
Trustee shall (at the direction of the Collateral Manager) upon receipt of the proceeds of any
Class A-1R Draw, deposit such proceeds (or the applicable portion thereof) into the Delayed Funding
Obligations Account where such amounts shall be applied as described Section 10.5.
(h) To the extent that a Class A-1R Draw (or a portion thereof) is being made to acquire and
fund future advance amounts relating to Third-Party Held Delayed Draw Loans or Third-Party Held
Revolving Loans, the Trustee shall (at the direction of the Collateral Manager) upon receipt of the
proceeds of any Class A-1R Draw, deposit such proceeds (or the applicable portion thereof) into a
segregated subaccount of the Unused Proceeds Account where such amounts shall be used to acquire
and fund such future advance amounts.
Section 18.2. The Class A-1R Interest and The Class A-1R Commitment Fee.
(a) Interest on the Class A-1R Notes shall be payable from the date of a Class A-1R Draw, and
accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date; provided that,
interest accrued in respect of amounts borrowed under the Class A-1R Notes during the period
following the Determination Date through such Payment Date will be payable (without penalty
interest thereon) on the next succeeding Payment Date. With respect to any Payment Date, interest
on the Class A-1R Notes will be an amount payable in arrears equal to (A) the product of (i) the
Weighted Average Drawn Class A-1R Note Portion during the related Interest Accrual Period, (ii) the
Class A-1R Rate for the related Interest Accrual Period and (iii) the actual number of days elapsed
in such Interest Accrual Period, divided by (B) 360; provided that, interest accrued in respect of
amounts borrowed under the Class A-1R Notes during the period following the Determination Date
through such Payment Date will be payable (without penalty interest thereon) on the next succeeding
Payment Date. Interest on the Class A-1R Notes shall be payable from the date of each Class A-1R
Draw under the Class A-1R Notes, and accrued and unpaid interest will be payable in arrears on each
Payment Date. Interest shall be payable to the holders of the Class A-1R Notes, pro rata, based on
their Class A-1R Interest Allocation Percentage.
- 273 -
(b) The Class A-1R Commitment Fee shall accrue on the undrawn amount of each Class A-1R
Commitment for each Interest Accrual Period at a rate per annum equal to 0.20% (computed on the
basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed). The Class A-1R Commitment Fee
shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date and will rank pari passu with the payment of
interest on each of the Class A-1A Notes and the Class A-1R Notes; provided that the position of
the Class A-1R Commitment Fee allocable to the period following the Determination Date through such
Payment Date will be payable (without penalty or interest) on the next succeeding Payment Date.
Interest at the Class A-1R Rate will accrue on any portion of the Class A-1R Commitment Fee that is
not paid when due.
Section 18.3. Prepayments of the Class A-1R Notes.
(a) Prior to the Commitment Termination Time, the Class A-1R Notes may be repaid (in whole or
in part) on any Business Day, at the option of the Issuer (at the direction of the Collateral
Manager), upon two Business Days written notice to the Trustee and the Class A-1R Note Agent,
without payment of a premium (other than Class A-1R Breakage Costs), and prior to any payments on
any other Class of Notes, from (x) Principal Proceeds to the extent Principal Proceeds are
available for such application pursuant to the Priority of Payments provisions described in
Section 11.1(a)(ii) and (y) amounts on deposit in the Delayed Funding Obligations Account
and the Class A-1R Suspense Account as described in Section 10.5 and Section 10.7,
but subject to the payment by the Issuer of Class A-1R Breakage Costs, if any. Any Class A-1R
Breakage Costs shall be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments on the Payment Date
following the applicable Class A-1R Prepayment Date.
(b) Subject to compliance with certain draw conditions specified in the Class A-1R Note
Purchase Agreement, all such repaid amounts may be re-borrowed until the Commitment Termination
Time.
(c) The Issuer will make all Class A-1R Prepayments of the Class A-1R Notes, pro rata, based
on the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A-1R Notes. The aggregate principal amount of any
partial voluntary Class A-1R Prepayment, in respect of the Class A-1R Notes (taken as a whole),
shall be at least U.S.$500,000 (and integral multiples of U.S.$1.00 in excess thereof) or, if the
Aggregate Outstanding Amount under the Class A-1R Notes is less than U.S.$500,000, such lesser
amount. The Issuer shall make all Class A-1R Prepayments pro rata based on the Aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Class A-1R Notes at the time such prepayment is made.
Section 18.4. Class A-1R Rating Criteria.
At the time of its purchase of a Class A-1R Note and prior to the Commitment Termination Time,
each Holder of a Class A-1R Note must satisfy the Class A-1R Rating Criteria. If any Holder of
Class A-1R Notes at any required time fails to satisfy the Class A-1R Rating Criteria and such
Holder shall not have deposited cash in a Holder Subaccount in such amount and at such time as
required by the Class A-1R Note Purchase Agreement to which such Holder is a party, the Collateral
Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall use reasonable efforts promptly to replace such Holder with
another entity that meets the Class A-1R Rating Criteria (by requiring the replaced Holder to
transfer all of its rights and obligations in respect of the
- 274 -
Class A-1R Notes to the transferee entity). The purchase of Class A-1R Notes (whether in
connection with the initial placement or in a subsequent transfer) by any purchaser who does not
satisfy the Class A-1R Rating Criteria set forth in clause (a) of the definition thereof at the
time of such purchase but who is then entitled to the benefits of a Liquidity Facility described in
clause (c) of such definition shall not be permitted.
Section 18.5. Class A-1R Holder Collateral Account.
(a) The Trustee shall, prior to the Closing Date, establish a single, segregated trust account
which shall be designated as the “Class A-1R Holder Collateral Account,” which shall be
held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A-1R Notes (and, to the extent of amounts
applied in accordance with the Class A-1R Note Purchase Agreement for such purpose, for the benefit
of the Holders of the Notes) and each Liquidity Provider and over which the Trustee shall have
exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal. Any and all funds at any time on deposit in,
or otherwise to the credit of, the Class A-1R Holder Collateral Account shall be held in trust by
the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A-1R Notes. If at any time any Holder of a
Class A-1R Note shall be required to deposit funds into the Class A-1R Holder Collateral Account
pursuant to the terms of the Class A-1R Note Purchase Agreement, then (i) the Collateral Manager
shall direct the Trustee to and the Trustee shall create a segregated subaccount of the Class A-1R
Holder Collateral Account for such Class A-1R Holder (each, a “Holder Subaccount”) and (ii)
the Class A-1R Note Agent shall deposit all funds received from such Holder into such Holder
Subaccount. All payments of principal of the Class A-1R Notes otherwise payable to such Holder
shall be deposited in such Holder Subaccount to the extent provided in the Class A-1R Note Purchase
Agreement. The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds credited to a Holder
Subaccount shall, notwithstanding the occurrence of any Event of Default, be to satisfy such
Holder’s obligations under the Class A-1R Note Purchase Agreement, as specified in this Section
18.5 and to return such amounts to such Holder in accordance with Section 18.5(d).
(b) The deposit of funds into a Holder Subaccount pursuant to Section 18.5(a) by any
Holder of a Class A-1R Note shall not constitute a Draw by the Issuer and shall not constitute a
utilization of the Class A-1R Commitment of such Holder, and the funds so deposited shall not
constitute principal outstanding under such Class A-1R Note. However, from and after the
establishment of a Holder Subaccount with respect to any Holder of Class A-1R Notes until otherwise
provided below, (i) the obligation of such Holder to advance funds under its Class A-1R Notes as
part of any Class A-1R Draw under this Indenture and the Class A-1R Note Purchase Agreement shall
be satisfied by the Collateral Manager withdrawing funds from such Holder Subaccount in the amount
of such Holder’s share of such Class A-1R Draw (determined in accordance with the Class A-1R Note
Purchase Agreement), and (ii) all payments of principal with respect to advances made by such
Holder under its Class A-1R Notes (whether or not originally funded from such Holder Subaccount)
(and, in the case of any defaulting Holder, all payments of interest thereon) shall be satisfied by
the Collateral Manager depositing or causing the deposit of the related funds into such Holder
Subaccount in the amount of such Holder’s share of such Class A-1R Draw (determined in accordance
with the Class A-1R Note Purchase Agreement), with notice of such deposit to the Class A-1R Note
Agent. The Collateral Manager shall have full power and authority to withdraw funds (with notice
of any such withdrawal to the Class A-1R Note Agent) from each such Holder Subaccount at the time
of, and
- 275 -
in connection with, the making of any such Class A-1R Draw and to deposit funds (with notice
of any such deposit to the Class A-1R Note Agent) into each such Holder Subaccount, all in
accordance with the terms of and for the purposes set forth in this Indenture and the related Class
A-1R Note Purchase Agreement.
(c) If at any time the amount of funds on deposit in the Holder Subaccount relating to any
Holder of Class A-1R Notes, net of any reinvestment earnings in respect of Class A-1R Permitted
Investments, exceeds the undrawn amount of the Class A-1R Commitment of such Holder (whether due to
a reduction in the Class A-1R Commitment or otherwise), then the Collateral Manager on behalf of
the Issuer shall instruct the Trustee to remit to such Holder a specified portion of such funds
then held in the related Holder Subaccount in an amount equal to such excess.
(d) If at any time a Holder of Class A-1R Notes is no longer required to deposit or maintain
funds in the Class A-1R Holder Collateral Account pursuant to the terms of its Class A-1R Note
Purchase Agreement to which such Holder is a party, then the Collateral Manager shall notify the
Trustee of such fact and direct the Trustee to remit all funds then held in the relevant Holder
Subaccount (after giving effect to any Class A-1R Draw in respect of such Class A-1R Notes to be
made on such date) (other than reinvestment earnings in respect of Class A-1R Permitted Investments
which shall be remitted to such Holder (with notice thereof to the Class A-1R Note Agent), and
thereafter all payments of principal and interest with respect to advances made by such Holder
shall be paid directly to such Holder in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Class
A-1R Note Purchase Agreement.
(e) The Trustee agrees to give the Issuer immediate notice if it becomes aware that the Class
A-1R Holder Collateral Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the
Class A-1R Holder Collateral Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of
attachment, execution or similar process. The Issuer shall not have any legal, equitable or
beneficial interest in the Class A-1R Holder Collateral Account. The Class A-1R Holder Collateral
Account shall remain at all times with the Corporate Trust Office of a financial institution having
a long term debt rating by each Rating Agency at least equal to “A” or “A2,” as applicable, and a
short term debt rating at least equal to “A-1” or “P-1,” as applicable.
(f) For so long as any amounts are on deposit in a Holder Subaccount, the Trustee shall, at
the written direction of the related Class A-1R Noteholder (which may be in the form of standing
instructions), invest and reinvest such funds in investments which satisfy the definition of the
term “Permitted Investments” but which mature not later than the day following the date of
acquisition thereof (collectively, “Class A-1R Permitted Investments”). Investment earnings
received by the Trustee during each Due Period in respect of Class A-1R Holder Collateral Account
Permitted Investments in the Holder Subaccount of a Holder of Class A-1R Notes will (so long as
such Holder is not a Defaulting Holder) be paid to such Holder on the related Distribution Date. In
the absence of such instructions, such funds will remain uninvested.
