PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Co-Issuers are duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture to provide for the Notes issuable as provided in this Indenture. Except as otherwise provided herein, all covenants and agreements made by the Co-Issuers herein are for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties. The Co-Issuers are entering into this Indenture, and the Trustee is accepting the trusts created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

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

GRANTING CLAUSE

The Issuer hereby Grants to the Trustee, for the benefit and security of the Holders of the Secured Debt, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator, the Administrator and each Hedge Counterparty (collectively the "Secured Parties"), all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the following property, in each case, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising, and wherever located: (a) the Collateral Obligations acquired by the Issuer at any time (including such Collateral Obligations that are listed, as of the Closing Date, in Schedule 7 to this Indenture) and all payments thereon or with respect thereto; (b) each of the Accounts (provided that the interest being granted in each Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount shall be granted only to the applicable Holder funding such account), to the extent permitted by the applicable Hedge Agreement (if any), each Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account, any Eligible Investments purchased with funds on deposit therein, and all income from the investment of funds therein; (c) the equity interest in any Issuer Subsidiary and all payments and rights thereunder; (d) the Collateral Management Agreement as set forth in Article XV hereof, each Hedge Agreement (if any) (provided that there is no such Grant to the Trustee on behalf of any Hedge Counterparty in respect of its related Hedge Agreement), the Collateral Administration Agreement, the Administration Agreement, the Class A-R Note Purchase Agreement and the Master Transfer Agreement; (e) all Cash or Money delivered to the Trustee (or its bailee) for the benefit of the Secured Parties; (f) all accounts, chattel paper, contract rights, commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, documents, equipment, financial assets, general intangibles, goods, inventory, payment intangibles, promissory notes, instruments, investment property, letter-of-credit rights and supporting obligations (as such terms are defined in the UCC); (g) any other property otherwise delivered to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Issuer (whether or not constituting Collateral Obligations or Eligible Investments); (h) all Equity Securities and all payments thereon and rights in respect thereof; (i) any lien granted by the Retention Provider to the Issuer pursuant to the Warehouse Master Transfer Agreement; and (j) all proceeds (as defined in the UCC) and products, in each case, with respect to the foregoing (the assets referred to in (a) through (j) are collectively referred to as the

"Assets"); provided that such Grant and the term "Assets" shall not include (i) the U.S.$250 transaction fee paid to the Issuer in consideration of the issuance of the Secured Debt and Subordinated Notes, (ii) the funds attributable to the issuance and allotment of the Issuer's ordinary shares, (iii) the bank account in the Cayman Islands in which such funds are deposited (or any interest thereon) and (iv) the membership interests of the Co-Issuer (the assets referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), collectively, the "Excepted Property").

The above Grant is made in trust to secure the Secured Debt and the Issuer's obligations to the Secured Parties under this Indenture, each Hedge Agreement and any other applicable Transaction Document (the "Secured Obligations"). Except as set forth in the Priority of Distributions and Article XIII of this Indenture, the Secured Debt is secured equally and ratably without prejudice, priority or distinction between any Secured Debt and any other Secured Debt by reason of difference in time of issuance or otherwise, except as expressly provided in this Indenture. The above Grant is made to secure, in accordance with the priorities set forth in the Priority of Distributions, (i) the payment of all amounts due on the Secured Debt in accordance with its terms, (ii) the payment of all other sums payable under this Indenture and any other applicable Transaction Document and all amounts payable under each Hedge Agreement, and (iii) compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, each Hedge Agreement and any other applicable Transaction Document, all as provided in this Indenture, the each Hedge Agreement and the applicable Transaction Documents, respectively. The foregoing Grant shall, for the purpose of determining the property subject to the lien of this Indenture, be deemed to include any securities and any investments granted to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Issuer, whether or not such securities or investments satisfy the criteria set forth in the definitions of "Collateral Obligation" or "Eligible Investments," as the case may be.

The Trustee acknowledges such Grants, accepts its appointment as Trustee hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, and agrees to perform its duties expressly stated herein in accordance with the provisions hereof.

"Affected Investor": An investor in an Obligation that is subject to regulation under any Applicable Regulation from time to time or party to liquidity or credit support arrangements provided by a financial institution that is subject to any Applicable Regulation and that has delivered a written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee (which notice shall specify the Class of Notes held by such investor and the Aggregate Outstanding Amount thereof) (i) on or

-5-

prior to or promptly after its acquisition of any Obligation or (ii) if such Holder becomes subject to any Applicable Regulation, or party to liquidity or credit support arrangements provided by a financial institution that is subject to any Applicable Regulation, after the date of its acquisition of any Obligation and while it continues to hold such Obligation, then promptly after such date, in each case stating that such Holder's investment in the Transaction is subject to any Applicable Regulation and that such Holder will be relying on compliance by the Retention Provider with the Retention Requirement. Any Holder that does not provide such notice in accordance with the previous sentence will be deemed for purposes hereof not to be an Affected Investor. If no entity provides such notice, then no Affected Investors will be deemed to exist for purposes of any required consent or action under this Indenture or any other Transaction Document.

"Administrator": Xxxxxxx Trust (Cayman) Ltd., a licensed trust company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, and its successors and assigns in such capacity.

"Affiliate" or "Affiliated": With respect to a Person, (a) any other Person who, directly or indirectly, is in control of, or controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person or (b) any other Person who is a director, officer or employee (i) of such Person, (ii) of any subsidiary or parent company of such Person or (iii) of any Person described in clause (a) above; provided that neither the Administrator nor any special purpose entity for which it acts as share trustee or administrator shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer solely because the Administrator or any of its Affiliates serves as administrator or share trustee for the Issuer. For the purposes of this definition, control of a Person shall mean the power, direct or indirect, (x) to vote more than 50% of the securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors of any such Person or (y) to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person whether by contract or otherwise; provided, further, that no entity to which the Administrator provides shares trustee and/or administration services, including the provision of directors, will be considered to be an Affiliate of the Issuer solely by reason thereof. For purposes of this definition, no entity shall be deemed an Affiliate of the Co-Issuers or the Collateral Manager solely because an Independent Director or any Affiliate of an Independent Director acts in such capacity or a similar capacity for such entity. An Obligor that is a special purpose vehicle shall not be deemed to be affiliated with any Person that transfers assets to such Obligor by the reason of the transfer of such assets so long as any Collateral Obligations issued by such Obligor do not have the benefit of any credit support of such Person. For the avoidance of doubt, an Obligor of a Collateral Obligation will not be considered an Affiliate of any other Obligor for purposes of the definitions of "Collateral Obligation" and "Concentration Limitations" as used therein with respect to any Obligor solely due to the fact that each such Obligor is under the control of or directly or indirectly owned by a common Financial Sponsor (except if such Person or Obligor provides collateral under, guarantees or otherwise supports the obligations of the other such Person or Obligor).

"Agent Members": Members of, or participants in, DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream.

"Aggregate Collateral Management Fees": All accrued and unpaid Collateral Management Fees, Current Deferred Management Fees, Cumulative Deferred Management Fees and Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amounts.

-6-

"Aggregate Outstanding Amount": With respect to any of the Obligations as of any date, the aggregate principal amount of such Obligations Outstanding on such date, provided, in the case of the Class A-R Notes, for purposes of determining whether a sufficient principal amount of the Class A-R Notes have voted with respect to matters relating to this Indenture or the Collateral Management Agreement, the Aggregate Outstanding Amount shall include any Aggregate Undrawn Amounts, provided, further that, for purposes of calculating the Overcollateralization Ratio or determining whether an Event of Default under Section 5.1(g) has occurred, the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A-R Notes at any time shall not include (x) the Aggregate Undrawn Amounts or (y) the portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Class A-R Notes that represent any Borrowing, the proceeds of which are deposited into the Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Account (for so long as such proceeds remain on deposit therein).

"Aggregate Principal Balance": When used with respect to all or a portion of the Collateral Obligations or the Pledged Obligations, the sum of the Principal Balances of all or of such portion of the Collateral Obligations or Pledged Obligations, respectively.

Section 1.2 Assumptions as to Pledged Obligations. Unless otherwise specified, the assumptions described below shall be applied 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, with respect to the sale of and reinvestment in Collateral Obligations, and with respect to the income that can be earned on Scheduled Distributions on such Pledged Obligations and on any other amounts that may be received for deposit in the Collection Account.

(a) All calculations with respect to Scheduled Distributions on the Pledged Obligations securing the Secured Debt 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.

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

(c) For each Collection Period and as of any date of determination, the Scheduled Distribution on any Pledged Obligation (other than a Defaulted Obligation, 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 to be received during such Collection Period in respect of such Pledged Obligation (including the proceeds of the sale of such Pledged Obligation received and, in the case of sales which have not yet settled, to be received during the Collection Period and not reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations or Eligible Investments or retained in the Collection Account for subsequent reinvestment pursuant to Section 12.2) that, if paid as scheduled, shall be available in the Collection Account at the end of the Collection Period and (ii) any such amounts received by the Issuer in prior Collection Periods that were not disbursed on a previous Distribution Date.

-83-

(d) 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 Collection Account to earn interest at the Assumed Reinvestment Rate. All such funds shall be assumed to continue to earn interest until the date on which they are required to be available in the Collection Account for application, in accordance with the terms hereof, to payments of principal of or interest on the Obligations or other amounts payable pursuant to this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, all amounts calculated pursuant to this Section 1.2(d) are estimates and may differ from the actual amounts available to make distributions hereunder, and no party shall have any obligation to make any payment hereunder due to the assumed amounts calculated under this Section 1.2(d) being greater than the actual amounts available. For purposes of the applicable determinations required by Section 10.7(b)(iv), Article XII and the definition of "Interest Coverage Ratio," the expected interest on Secured Debt and floating rate Collateral Obligations shall be calculated using the then current interest rates applicable thereto.

(e) For purposes of calculating the Moody's Weighted Average Rating Factor, any Collateral Obligation that is a Current Pay Obligation or a Defaulted Obligation shall be excluded.

(f) Except as otherwise provided herein, Defaulted Obligations shall not be included in the calculation of the Collateral Quality Test.

(g) For purposes of calculating all Concentration Limitations, in both the numerator and the denominator of any component of the Concentration Limitations, Defaulted Obligations shall be held at their Defaulted Obligation Balance.

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

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

(j) For purposes of calculating the Sale Proceeds of a Collateral Obligation in sale transactions, Sale Proceeds shall include any Principal Financed Accrued Interest received in respect of such sale.

(k) For purposes of calculating clauses (iii) and (vi) of the definition of Concentration Limitations, the amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and the Ramp-Up

-84-

Account (including Eligible Investments therein) representing Principal Proceeds shall each be deemed to be a floating rate Collateral Obligation that is a Senior Secured Loan.

(l) With respect to any reinvestment of (x) Sale Proceeds, (y) Unscheduled Principal Payments or (z) Principal Proceeds received upon the maturity of a Collateral Obligation, in order to determine whether the Weighted Average Life Test is satisfied or, if not satisfied, maintained or improved, after such reinvestment, the Weighted Average Life Test as calculated prior to such sale for Sale Proceeds and prior to the receipt of such Unscheduled Principal Payments or Principal Proceeds shall be compared to the Weighted Average Life Test as calculated after such reinvestment.

(m) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, all monetary calculations under this Indenture shall be in U.S. Dollars.

(n) Unless otherwise specified, any reference to the fees payable under Section 11.1 to an amount calculated with respect to a period at per annum rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Any fees applicable to periods shorter than or longer than a calendar quarter shall be prorated to the actual number of days within such period.

(o) For purposes of calculating compliance with each of the Concentration Limitations, all calculations will be rounded to the nearest 0.1%. Unless otherwise specified, all other test calculations that evaluate to a percentage shall be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth and test calculations that evaluate to a number shall be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth.

(p) Unless otherwise specifically provided herein (including in the next sentence of this clause (p)), all calculations or determinations required to be made and all reports which are to be prepared pursuant to this Indenture shall be made on the basis of the trade date. For purposes of calculating whether there is a Commitment Shortfall at any time, calculations will be done on both a trade date and a settlement date basis and the calculation resulting in the largest Commitment Shortfall will be used.

(q) The Weighted Average Life Test will be calculated by using the actual number of days over 360.

(r) Determination of the purchase price of a Collateral Obligation shall be made independently each time such Collateral Obligation is purchased by the Issuer and pledged to the Trustee, without giving effect to whether the Issuer has previously purchased such Collateral Obligation (or an obligation of the related borrower or issuer).

(s) If withholding tax is imposed on (i) any Asset held by the Issuer or an Issuer Subsidiary, (ii) any amendment, waiver, consent or extension fees or (iii) commitment fees or other similar fees in respect of Revolving Collateral Obligations and Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations the calculations of the Minimum Fixed Coupon Test, the Minimum Floating Spread Test and the Interest Coverage Test, as applicable, shall be made on a net basis after taking into account such withholding, unless the Obligor is required to make "gross-up" payments to the Issuer or an Issuer Subsidiary that cover the full amount of any such withholding tax on an after-tax basis pursuant to the Underlying Instrument with respect thereto.

-85-

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

All other Notes that are authenticated after the Closing Date for any other purpose under this Indenture shall be dated the date of their authentication.

Notes issued upon transfer, exchange or replacement of other Notes shall be issued in Authorized Denominations reflecting the original Aggregate Outstanding 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 II, the original principal amount of such Note shall be proportionately divided among the Notes delivered in exchange therefor and shall be deemed to be the original aggregate principal amount (or original aggregate face amount, as applicable) 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.

(ii) Each Holder will timely furnish the Issuer and its agents with any tax certifications, information, or documentation (including, without limitation, IRS Form W-9 or the applicable IRS Form W-8, or any successors to such IRS forms) that the Issuer or its agents reasonably request (A) to permit the Issuer or its agents to make payments to the Holder without, or at a reduced rate of, deduction or withholding, (B) to enable the Issuer or its agents to qualify for a reduced rate of withholding or deduction in any jurisdiction from or through which they receive payments, and (C) to enable the Issuer or its agents to satisfy reporting and other obligations under any applicable law or regulation, and will update or replace such certifications, information, and documentation

-101-

in accordance with its terms or subsequent amendments. Each Holder acknowledges that the failure to provide, update or replace any such certifications, information, and documentation may result in the imposition of withholding or back-up withholding on payments to such Holder. Amounts withheld pursuant to applicable tax laws will be treated as having been paid to the Holder by the Issuer.

(iii) Each Holder will provide the Issuer and its agents with any correct, complete and accurate information, and will take any other actions, that may be required for the Issuer (or its sole owner) to achieve FATCA Compliance or necessary to provide the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority pursuant to the Tax Information Authority (International Tax Compliance) (United Kingdom) Regulations, 2014 (as amended from time to time) and/or to avoid the imposition of tax under FATCA on any payment to the Issuer or to or for the benefit of the Holders, and/or, in the event such Holder fails to provide such information or take such actions or in the event that such Holder's ownership of any Notes would otherwise cause the Issuer (or its sole owner) to be subject to withholding tax under FATCA or otherwise not to achieve FATCA Compliance, (A) the Issuer is authorized to withhold under FATCA, and (B) to the extent necessary to avoid an adverse effect on the Issuer (or its sole owner) or any other Holder as a result of such failure or the Holder's ownership of Notes, the Issuer will have the right to compel the Holder to sell its Notes, and, if such Holder does not sell its Notes within 10 business days after notice from the Issuer or an agent of the Issuer, to sell such Notes at a public or private sale called and conducted in any manner permitted by law, and to remit the net proceeds of such sale (taking into account, in addition to other related costs and charges, any taxes incurred by the Issuer in connection with such sale) to the Holder as payment in full for such Notes and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee will have any liability for any losses that may be incurred by such Holder as a result. The Issuer may also assign each such Note a separate CUSIP number in the Issuer's sole discretion. Each Holder is deemed to agree and represent that the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and/or the Trustee or their agents or representatives may (1) provide any information and documentation provided to them in connection with FATCA and any other information concerning such Holder's investment in such Notes to the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and any other relevant tax authority and (2) take such other steps as they deem necessary or helpful for the Issuer to achieve FATCA Compliance. Each Holder of a Secured Note agrees to indemnify the Issuer and the Trustee for all damages, costs and expenses that result from the failure of it to take the actions required of it herein in connection with FATCA.

(iv) Each Holder of Class C Notes or Subordinated Notes acknowledges and agrees that:

(A) it will not (1) acquire or directly or indirectly sell, encumber, assign, participate, pledge, hypothecate, rehypothecate, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, suffer the creation of a lien on, or transfer or convey in any manner (each, a "Transfer") such Notes (or any interest therein that is described in Treasury regulations section 1.7704-1(a)(2)(i)(B)) on or through (x) a United States national, regional or local securities exchange, (y) a foreign securities exchange or (z) an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm

-102-

buy or sell quotations by identified brokers or dealers ((x), (y) and (z), collectively, an "Exchange") or (2) cause any of such Notes or any interest therein to be marketed on or through an Exchange;

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

(C) if it is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation, then less than 40% of the value of any person's interest in it will be attributable to such Notes, unless the Issuer has otherwise determined that such Holder will not cause the Issuer to be unable to rely on the "private placement" safe harbor of Treasury regulations section 1.7704-1(h); and

(D) it will not Transfer all or any portion of such Notes unless: (1) the person to which it Transfers such Notes agrees to be bound by the restrictions, conditions, representations, warrants, and covenants set forth in this Section 2.6(l)(iv), and (2) such Transfer does not violate this Section 2.6(l)(iv).

Any Transfer made in violation of this Section 2.6(l)(iv) will be void and of no force or effect, and will not bind or be recognized by the Issuer or any other person, and no person to which such Notes are Transferred shall become a Holder unless such person agrees to be bound by this Section 2.6(l)(iv). However, notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, a Transfer in violation of Section 2.6(l)(iv)(A), (B), (C) or (D) shall be permitted if the Trustee receives advice of Milbank, Tweed, Xxxxxx & XxXxxx LLP or Dechert LLP, or an Opinion of Counsel of other nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters, to the effect that the Transfer will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(v) With respect to any period during which any Holder owns more than 50% of the Subordinated Notes, by number, or is otherwise treated as a member of the Issuer's "expanded affiliated group" (as defined in Treasury regulations section 1.1471-5T(i)), such Holder covenants to (A) use reasonable best efforts to ensure that any member of such expanded affiliated group (other than the Issuer and any Issuer Subsidiary) that is treated as a "foreign financial institution" within the meaning of Section 1471(d)(4) of the Code and any Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder shall be either a "participating FFI", a "registered deemed-compliant FFI" or an "exempt beneficial owner" within the meaning of Treasury regulations section 1.1471-4T(e), except to the extent that the Issuer or its agents have provided such Holder with an express waiver of this provision and (B) promptly notify the Issuer in the event that any member of such expanded affiliated group that is treated as a "foreign financial institution" within the meaning of Section 1471(d)(4) of the Code is not either a "participating FFI", a "registered deemed-compliant FFI" or an "exempt beneficial owner" within the meaning

-103-

of Treasury regulations section 1.1471-4T(e) (or any successor provision), in each case except to the extent the Issuer or its agents have provided it with an express waiver of this requirement.

(m) Any purported transfer of a Note not in accordance with this Section 2.6 shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose whatsoever.

(n) To the extent required by the Issuer, as determined by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer, the Issuer may, upon written notice to the Trustee, impose additional transfer restrictions on the Notes to comply with the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 and other similar laws or regulations, including, without limitation, requiring each transferee of a Note to make or be deemed to make representations to the Issuer in connection with such compliance.

(o) The Trustee and the Issuer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any transfer certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 2.6 and shall be able to presume conclusively the continuing accuracy thereof, in each case without further inquiry or investigation.

(p) Each Holder of Class C Notes agrees that (A) if an opinion of tax counsel of nationally recognized standing in the United States experienced in such matters has not been delivered to the Trustee that provides that the Class C Notes will be treated as indebtedness of the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it will not Transfer such Notes to anyone other than a United States Person, and (B) it will not Transfer (which for the avoidance of doubt includes initial acquisitions of such Notes) such Notes without prior written confirmation from the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer), which confirmation shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, that the Transfer will not cause all outstanding Class C Notes and Subordinated Notes to be owned by more than 95 "partners" as defined under Treasury regulations section 1.7704-1(h), unless (1) the Holder Transfers all of the Class C Notes and all of the Subordinated Notes to a single Holder or (2) with respect to clause (B) above, the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer), after having received advice of Milbank, Tweed, Xxxxxx & XxXxxx LLP or Dechert LLP, or an Opinion of Counsel of other nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters, to the effect that the Transfer will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, provides such Holder with a written waiver of this provision. Any Transfer made in violation of this clause (p) shall be void and of no force or effect, and shall not bind or be recognized by the Issuer or any other person, and no person to which Class C Notes are Transferred shall become a Holder unless such person agrees to be bound by this clause (p).

(q) Each Holder of Subordinated Notes agrees that it will not Transfer such Notes (A) to anyone other than a United States Person, and (B) it will not Transfer (which for the avoidance of doubt includes initial acquisitions of such Notes) such Notes without prior written confirmation from the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer), which confirmation shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, that the Transfer will not cause all outstanding Class C Notes and Subordinated Notes to be owned by more than 95 "partners" as defined under Treasury regulations section 1.7704-1(h), unless (1) the Holder Transfers all of the Class C Notes

-104-

and all of the Subordinated Notes to a single Holder or (2) with respect to clause (B) above, the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer), after having received advice of Milbank, Tweed, Xxxxxx & XxXxxx LLP or Dechert LLP, or an Opinion of Counsel of other nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters, to the effect that the Transfer will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, provides such Holder with a written waiver of this provision. Any Transfer made in violation of this clause (q) shall be void and of no force or effect, and shall not bind or be recognized by the Issuer or any other person, and no person to which Subordinated Notes are Transferred shall become a Holder unless such person agrees to be bound by this clause (q).

(r) Each beneficial owner agrees that (i) the express terms of this Indenture govern the rights of the Holders to direct the commencement of a Proceeding against any Person, (ii) this Indenture contains limitations on the rights of the Holders to direct the commencement of any such Proceeding, (iii) each beneficial owner shall comply with such express terms if it seeks to direct the commencement of any such Proceeding, (iv) there are no implied rights under this Indenture to direct the commencement of any such Proceeding and (v) notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture, or any provision of the Notes or of any other agreement, the Issuer may, in its discretion, but shall be under no duty or obligation of any kind to the Holders of the Notes (or of any interest therein), or any of them, to institute any legal or other proceedings of any kind, against any person or entity, including, without limitation, the Trustee the Collateral Manager or the Calculation Agent.

Section 2.7 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 Applicable Issuers, the Trustee and the relevant Transfer Agent evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (b) there is delivered to the Applicable Issuers, the Trustee and such Transfer Agent, and any agent of the Applicable Issuers, the Trustee and such Transfer Agent, such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Applicable Issuers, the Trustee or such Transfer Agent that such Note has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, the Applicable Issuers shall execute and, upon Issuer Order (which Issuer Order shall be deemed to have been provided upon delivery of an executed Note to the Trustee for authentication), the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal or face amount, registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication, bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

-105-

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

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.7, the Applicable Issuers, the Trustee or the applicable Transfer Agent may require the payment by the Holder thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.7 in lieu of any mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Applicable Issuers and such new Note shall be entitled, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 2.7, to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes of the same Class duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.7 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.8 Payment of Principal and Interest and Other Amounts; Principal and Interest Rights Preserved. (a) The Secured Debt of each Class shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period at the applicable Debt Interest Rate, and the Class A-R Notes also accrue a Class A-R Commitment Fee, and such interest and Class A-R Commitment Fee, as applicable, shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Distribution Date and other Distribution Date with respect to such Class of Obligations, on the Aggregate Outstanding Amount thereof on the first day of the related Interest Accrual Period (after giving effect to payments of principal thereof on such date). Payment of interest on each Class of Secured Debt (and payments of Interest Proceeds to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes) shall be subordinated to the payments of interest on the related Priority Classes. So long as any Priority Classes are Outstanding with respect to any Class of Deferred Interest Notes, any payment of interest due on such Class of Deferred Interest Notes which is not available to be paid ("Deferred Interest" with respect thereto) in accordance with the Priority of Distributions on any Distribution Date shall not be considered "due and payable" for the purposes of Section 5.1(a) (and the failure to pay such interest shall not be an Event of Default) until the earliest of the Distribution Date (i) on which such interest is available to be paid in accordance with the Priority of Distributions, (ii) which is a Redemption Date with respect to such Class of Deferred Interest Notes, and (iii) which is the Stated Maturity of such Class of Deferred Interest Notes. Deferred Interest on any Class of Deferred Interest Notes shall not be added to the principal balance of such Class of Deferred Interest Notes, but any unpaid Deferred Interest (and any interest on such unpaid Deferred Interest) shall remain payable as accrued and unpaid interest in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Deferred Interest on any Class of Deferred Interest Notes shall be payable on the first Distribution Date on which funds are available to be used for such purpose in accordance with the Priority of Distributions, but in any event no later than the earlier of the Distribution Date (i) which is the Redemption Date with respect to such Class of Deferred Interest Notes and (ii) which is the Stated Maturity of such Class of Deferred Interest Notes.

-106-

Interest shall cease to accrue on each Secured Debt, or in the case of a partial repayment, on such part, from the date of repayment or the respective Stated Maturity unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or unless default is otherwise made with respect to such payments of principal. To the extent lawful and enforceable, (x) interest on Deferred Interest with respect to any Class of Deferred Interest Notes shall accrue at the Debt Interest Rate for such Class until paid as provided herein and (y) interest on the interest on any Class A Debt or, if no Class A Debt is Outstanding, any Class B Debt or, if no Class A Debt or Class B Debt is Outstanding, any Class C Note that is not paid when due shall accrue at the Debt Interest Rate for such Class until paid as provided herein.

(b) The principal of each Secured Debt of each Class matures at par and is due and payable on the Quarterly Distribution Date which is the Stated Maturity for such Class of Secured Debt, unless the unpaid principal of such Secured Debt becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of principal of each Class of Secured Debt (and payments of Principal Proceeds to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes) may only occur after principal and interest on each Class of Obligations that constitutes a Priority Class with respect to such Class has been paid in full and is subordinated to the payment on each Distribution Date of the principal and interest due and payable on such Priority Class(es), and other amounts in accordance with the Priority of Distributions, and any payment of principal of any Class of Secured Debt which is not paid, in accordance with the Priority of Distributions, on any Distribution Date (other than the Distribution Date which is the Stated Maturity of such Class or any Redemption Date), shall not be considered "due and payable" for purposes of Section 5.1(a) until the Distribution Date on which such principal may be paid in accordance with the Priority of Distributions or all of the Priority Classes with respect to such Class have been paid in full.

(c) Principal payments on the Obligations shall be made in accordance with the Priority of Distributions and Section 9.1.

(d) As a condition to the payment (or allocation) of principal of and interest on any Secured Debt or any payment (or allocation) on any Subordinated Note, without the imposition of withholding tax, the Paying Agent shall require certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee and any 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 Obligation under any present or future law or regulation of the United States and any other applicable jurisdiction, 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.

(e) Payments in respect of interest on and principal of any Secured Debt and any payment with respect to any Subordinated Note shall be made by the Trustee or by a Paying Agent in United States dollars to DTC or its designee with respect to a Global Note, to the Holder (or its nominee) with respect to a Certificated Secured Note, a Certificated Subordinated Note or a Definitive Note, by wire transfer, as directed by the Holder, in immediately available funds to a United States dollar account, as the case may be, maintained by DTC or its nominee with respect to a Global Note, and to the Holder or its designee with respect to a Certificated Secured Note, a Certificated Subordinated Note or a Definitive Note; provided that in the case of

-107-

a Certificated Secured Note, a Certificated Subordinated Note or a Definitive Note, the Holder thereof shall have provided written wiring instructions to the Trustee or the applicable Paying Agent, on or before the related Record Date; and provided, further, that if appropriate instructions for any such wire transfer are not received by the related Record Date, then such payment shall be made by check drawn on a U.S. bank mailed to the address of the Holder specified in the Register. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of an Obligation, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Obligation at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee on or prior to such Maturity; provided, however, that if the Trustee and the Applicable Issuers shall have been furnished such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such certificate, then, in the absence of notice to the Applicable Issuers or the Trustee that the applicable Obligation has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. Neither the Co-Issuers, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager, nor any Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records maintained by DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream or any of the Agent Members relating to or for payments made thereby on account of beneficial interests in a Global Note. In the case where any final payment of principal and interest is to be made on any Secured Debt (other than on the Stated Maturity thereof) or any final payment is to be made on any Subordinated Note (other than on the Stated Maturity thereof), the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Applicable Issuers shall, not more than 30 nor less than 10 days prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, mail (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Persons entitled thereto at their addresses appearing on the Register a notice which shall specify the date on which such payment shall be made, the amount of such payment per U.S.$1,000 of original principal amount of Secured Debt, original principal amount of Subordinated Notes and the place where such Obligations may be presented and surrendered for such payment.

(f) Payments of principal to Holders of the Secured Debt of each Class shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Obligations of such Class registered in the name of each such Holder on the applicable Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Obligations of such Class on such Record Date. Payments to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes from Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Subordinated Notes registered in the name of each such Holder on the applicable Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Subordinated Notes on such Record Date.

(g) Interest accrued with respect to the Secured Debt shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360.

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

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any other documents to which the Issuer or the Co-Issuer is or may be a party, the obligations of the Issuer

-108-

and the Co-Issuer under the Obligations and this Indenture are, in the case of the Issuer, limited recourse or, in the case of the Co-Issuer, non-recourse obligations, as applicable, payable solely from the Assets and following realization of the Assets and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with this Indenture, all obligations of and any claims against the Co-Issuers hereunder or in connection herewith after such realization shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had against any Officer, director, employee, shareholder or incorporator of either the Co-Issuers, the Collateral Manager, the Retention Provider or their respective Affiliates, or any successors or assigns of any such Person, for any amounts payable under the Obligations or (except as otherwise provided herein or in the Collateral Management Agreement) this Indenture. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8(i) shall not (x) 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 (y) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Obligations or secured by this Indenture until such Assets have been realized. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8(i) shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer or the Co-Issuer as a party defendant in any Proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Obligations 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. The Subordinated Notes are not secured hereunder.

(j) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8, 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 (or other applicable amount) that were carried by such other Note.

Section 2.9 Persons Deemed Owners. The Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Co-Issuers or the Trustee shall treat as the owner of any Obligation the Person in whose name such Obligation is registered on the Register on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest on such Obligation and on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever (whether or not such Obligation is overdue), and neither the Issuer, the Co-Issuer nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.10 Purchase of Obligations; Cancellation. (a) The Issuer may apply (i) Contributions accepted and received into the Contribution Account (at the direction of the related Contributor or, if no such direction, in the reasonable discretion of the Collateral Manager) or (ii) Additional Subordinated Notes Proceeds, in order to acquire any Secured Debt of the Class designated by the Collateral Manager or the Contributor, as applicable, through a tender offer, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions (in each case, subject to applicable law) (any such Secured Debt, the "Repurchased Debt"), and the Issuer may not otherwise acquire any of the Obligations (including any Obligations abandoned or surrendered). Any such Repurchased Debt shall be submitted to the Trustee for cancellation.

-109-

(b) No purchases of the Secured Debt by, or on behalf of, the Issuer may occur unless each of the following conditions is satisfied:

(i) such purchases of Secured Debt shall occur in the following sequential order of priority: first, the Class A Debt pro rata, until the Class A Debt is paid in full; second, the Class B Debt pro rata, until the Class B Debt is paid in full; and third, the Class C Notes, until the Class C Notes are paid in full;

(ii) each such purchase shall be effected only at prices discounted from par plus accrued interest thereon;

(iii) each such purchase of Secured Debt shall be effected with Contributions or Additional Subordinated Notes Proceeds;

(iv) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(v) any Secured Debt to be purchased shall be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section ‎2.6;

(vi) each such purchase will otherwise be conducted in accordance with applicable law;

(vii) the Trustee has received an Officer's certificate of the Collateral Manager to the effect that the conditions in Section ‎2.10(b)(i) through Section 2.10(b)(vi) and Section 2.10(b)(viii) below have been satisfied; and

(viii) each Coverage test is satisfied both immediately prior to and after giving effect to such purchase or, if any such Coverage Test is not satisfied immediately prior to such purchase, the level of compliance with such Coverage Test will be maintained or improved immediately after giving effect to such purchase.

(c) No Obligation may be surrendered (including any surrender in connection with any abandonment) except for payment as provided in this Indenture, or for registration of transfer, exchange or redemption in accordance with an Optional Redemption or, if a Special Redemption or Mandatory Redemption results in the payment in full of the applicable Class of Obligations, a Special Redemption or a Mandatory Redemption of the Obligations, or for replacement in connection with any Obligation deemed lost or stolen.

(d) All Repurchased Debt and Obligations that are surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange, redemption or that are deemed lost or stolen, shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee and may not be reissued or resold; provided that Repurchased Debt shall continue to be treated as Outstanding to the extent provided in clause (v) of the definition of "Outstanding." Any such Obligations shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. No Obligations shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Obligations canceled as provided in this Section 2.10, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Obligations held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with its standard policy, unless the Co-Issuers shall direct by an Issuer Order received prior to destruction that they be returned to it.

-110-

Section 2.11 Definitive Notes. (a) A Global Note deposited with DTC pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be transferred in the form of a Definitive Note to the beneficial owners thereof only if such transfer complies with Section 2.6 and either (i) DTC notifies the Co-Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such Global Note or (ii) at any time DTC ceases to be a Clearing Agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor depository is not appointed by the Co-Issuers within 90 days after such notice (a "Depository Event"). In addition, the owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall be entitled to receive a Definitive Note in exchange for such interest if such exchange complies with Section 2.6 and an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b) Any Global Note that is transferable in the form of a Definitive Note to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be surrendered by DTC to the Trustee's designated office located in the United States to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Applicable Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive physical certificates (pursuant to the instructions of DTC) (each such note, a "Definitive Note") in Authorized Denominations. Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note shall be in registered form and, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.6(g), (h) and (i), bear the legends set forth in the applicable Exhibit A and shall be subject to the transfer restrictions referred to in such legends.

(c) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 2.11, the Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

(d) In the event of the occurrence of a Depository Event, the Co-Issuers shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons.

The Definitive Notes shall be in substantially the same form as the corresponding Global Notes with such changes therein as the Issuer and Trustee shall agree. In the event that Definitive Notes are not so issued by the Issuer to such beneficial owners of interests in Global Notes as required by Section 2.11(a), the Issuer expressly acknowledges that the beneficial owners shall be entitled to pursue any remedy that the Holder of a Global Note would be entitled to pursue in accordance with Article V of this Indenture (but only to the extent of such beneficial owner's interest in the Global Note) as if Definitive Notes had been issued.

Section 2.12 Notes Beneficially Owned by Non-Permitted Holders or in Violation of ERISA Representations. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture, any transfer of a beneficial interest in any Note to a Non-Permitted Holder shall be null and void and any such purported transfer of which the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Trustee shall have notice may be disregarded by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee for all purposes.

(b) If any Non-Permitted Holder shall become the beneficial owner of an interest in any Note, the Issuer shall, promptly after discovery that such person is a Non-

-111-

Permitted Holder by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Trustee (and notice to the Issuer by the Trustee if a Bank Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge or by the Co-Issuer if it makes the discovery), send notice to such Non-Permitted Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted Holder transfer its interest in the Notes held by such person to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted Holder within 10 days of the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted Holder fails to so transfer such Notes, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such Notes or interest in such Notes to a purchaser selected by the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) that is a not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer, or the Collateral Manager (on its own or acting through an investment bank selected by the Collateral Manager at the Issuer's expense) 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 Notes, and selling such Notes to the highest such bidder. However, the Issuer may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of each Note, the Non-Permitted Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Notes, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer, the Collateral Manager 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 subsection shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf), and neither the Issuer nor the Collateral Manager shall be liable to any Person having an interest in the Notes sold as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

Section 2.13 Deduction or Withholding from Payments on Notes; No Gross Up. If the Issuer is required to deduct or withhold tax under applicable law, including FATCA, from, or with respect to, payments (or allocations) to any Holder of the Obligations for any Tax, then the Trustee or other Paying Agent, as applicable, shall deduct, or withhold, the amount required to be deducted or withheld and remit to the relevant authority such amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer may withhold any amount that it determines is required to be withheld from any amounts otherwise distributable to any Holder of an Obligation. The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Obligations as a result of any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any Tax imposed on payments (or allocations) in respect of the Obligations.

Section 3.4 Class A-R Notes.

(a) Borrowing under the Class A-R Notes. From the Closing Date until the last day of the Class A-R Commitment Period, the Issuer may borrow advances, on a revolving basis and in U.S. dollars, under the Class A-R Notes (a "Borrowing" and, the date of any such Borrowing, a "Borrowing Date") (i) on any Business Day during the Reinvestment Period to fund the purchase of Collateral Obligations (including to fund Exposure Amounts), (ii) on any Business Day after the last day of the Reinvestment Period and prior to the end of the Class A-R Commitment Period, to fund Exposure Amounts relating to Revolving Collateral Obligations and Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations and to acquire Collateral Obligations pursuant to commitments entered into by the Issuer prior to the last day of the Reinvestment Period, and (iii) on any Business Day a Holder is required to fund a Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount to comply with the Rating Requirement, to fund such Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount in the amount of the Holder's pro rata share of the Aggregate Undrawn Amount, in each case, provided that the requirements for Borrowings set forth in the Class A-R Note Purchase Agreement are met. Other than Borrowings deposited in a Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount, funds received by the Issuer as a result of a Borrowing shall be (w) forwarded to the Retention Provider for payment of the acquisition of Collateral Obligations, (x) deposited into the Ramp-Up Account to be held for future acquisitions of Collateral Obligations, (y) deposited into the Principal Collection Account or (z) deposited into the Revolver Funding Account to fund Exposure Amounts relating to Revolving Collateral Obligations and Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations.

The aggregate principal amount of any Borrowing (other than a Short Settlement Borrowing) in respect of the Class A-R Notes (taken as a whole) shall be at least U.S.$1,000,000 (and integral multiples of U.S.$10,000, in excess thereof) or, if the Aggregate Undrawn Amount is less than U.S.$1,000,000, such lesser amount. Other than Borrowings deposited in a Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount, each Borrowing shall be made by the Issuer pro

-119-

rata according to the unused portion of the Class A-R Commitments. Each Holder of a Class A-R Note shall be severally obligated to advance to the Issuer its pro rata share of such Borrowing in an amount equal to the product of (a) its percentage ownership of the Class A-R Notes and (b) the amount of the Borrowing requested by the Issuer from all Holders of Class A-R Notes.

(b) Prepayments of Class A-R Notes; Breakage Costs. During the Reinvestment Period, the Class A-R Notes may be prepaid (in whole or in part) together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment, without reducing the Class A-R Commitments, on (i) any Distribution Date from Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds in accordance with, and as specifically provided for in, the Priority of Distributions or (ii) any Interim Distribution Date other than during a Stub Period, in each case subject to the satisfaction (after giving effect to such prepayment) of each Coverage Test and certain other conditions specified in the Class A-R Note Purchase Agreement, at the option of the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer), from Principal Proceeds upon not less than three Business Days' notice to the Class A-R Note Agent and the Trustee (and any such notice may be revoked on or prior to two Business Days prior to such date) (a "Class A-R Prepayment"). On any such Interim Distribution Date during the Reinvestment Period, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, the Trustee shall transfer the amount of a Class A-R Prepayment from the Collection Account to the Payment Account and shall apply such amount to repay the principal of the Class A-R Notes on a pro rata basis. During or after the Reinvestment Period, the Class A-R Notes may be prepaid on any Interim Distribution Date to prepay funds deposited in a Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount, if the applicable Holder either satisfies the Rating Requirement or has transferred its Class A-R Note to a transferee that satisfies the Rating Requirement, which prepayment shall be made at the direction of the Collateral Manager from the funds on deposit in such Holder's Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount. Any Class A-R Note Additional Amounts shall be paid (x) in the case of a Class A-R Prepayment on an Interim Distribution Date, on the Distribution Date next succeeding the Collection Period in which such Interim Distribution Date occurs and (y) in the case of a failed Borrowing, on the Distribution Date following the Collection Period in which such failed Borrowing occurs, in each case pursuant to the Priority of Distributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not be required to compensate any Holder for any loss incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Holder notifies the Issuer of the Break Funding Event or Class A-R Note Increased Costs giving rise to such loss and of such Holder's intention to claim compensation therefor. In addition, if such notice and the certificate required pursuant to the Class A-R Note Purchase Agreement are not delivered to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and the Trustee at least two Business Days prior to a Distribution Date in the case of a Break Funding Event or 10 Business Days prior to a Distribution Date in the case of Class A-R Note Increased Costs, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Distribution Date. The aggregate principal amount of any Class A-R Prepayment (taken as a whole) shall be at least U.S.$1,000,000 (and integral multiples of U.S.$10,000, in excess thereof) (or, if the aggregate drawn amount is less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount). Other than a prepayment of a Borrowing deposited in a Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount, any prepayment of only the Class A-R Notes shall be made by the Issuer pro rata according to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount thereof to all of the Outstanding Class A-R Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, a Class A-R Prepayment shall be a voluntary prepayment of the Class A-R Notes and no other Class of Obligations.

-120-

(c) Borrowing Request. On or prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day immediately preceding each Borrowing Date, the Issuer shall provide a notice to the Class A-R Note Agent (with a copy to the Trustee) of the Issuer's intention to effect a Borrowing (as such, a "Borrowing Request"); provided, that the Issuer may, on any Business Day prior to the end of the Class A-R Commitment Period, notify the Class A-R Note Agent (with a copy to the Trustee) of a proposed Borrowing (a "Short Settlement Borrowing") that is necessary to fund a same day funding requirement as set forth in the Class A-R Note Purchase Agreement, not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of the proposed Short Settlement Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); provided, further, that within one Business Day of the Issuer receiving notice of a Holder's failure to satisfy the Rating Requirement a Borrowing Request must be delivered to such Holder, and such Holder must fund the Borrowing within 30 Business Days, unless the Rating Requirement is again satisfied prior thereto. Any such notice shall include the following information: (1) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing, (2) the Borrowing Date, (3) the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A-R Notes both before and after giving effect to such Borrowing and (4) whether such requested Borrowing would be a Short Settlement Borrowing. Promptly following receipt of a request for a Borrowing, the Class A-R Note Agent shall forward by fax or e-mail to each Holder of a Class A-R Note (with a copy to the Trustee) a copy of such request. Each Holder of a Class A-R Note that has agreed (subject to the terms of the Class A-R Note Purchase Agreement) to fund Borrowings on a same day basis shall fund a Short Settlement Borrowing on a same day basis, and other Holders of Class A-R Notes will not be obligated to do so. The aggregate amount of Short Settlement Borrowings outstanding at any given time shall not exceed $5,000,000.

(d) Rating Requirement. Each Holder of the Class A-R Notes shall be required to satisfy the Rating Requirement during the Class A-R Commitment Period. If any Holder of Class A-R Notes or, if such Holder satisfies the Rating Requirements pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of "Rating Requirement" with respect to its guarantor, such guarantor, fails to satisfy the Rating Requirement during the Class A-R Commitment Period, such Holder or guarantor shall be required (i) within 30 Business Days, to fully fund a Borrowing in the amount of such Class A-R Note Holder's pro rata share of the Aggregate Undrawn Amount to be deposited in a Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 10.3(i) and (ii) to provide written notice to Xxxxx'x of such failure. If within 30 Business Days after a Ratings Trigger Event (unless such Holder or guarantor satisfies the Rating Requirement within 30 days of such failure), such Holder or guarantor has failed to (i) transfer all of its rights and obligations in respect of its Class A-R Notes to a purchaser that satisfies the Rating Requirement and that is eligible to purchase such Notes under the terms hereof and the Class A-R Note Purchase Agreement, as applicable, (ii) provide an unconditional guarantee (which complies with the then-current Xxxxx'x and S&P criteria) of its commitments under the Class A-R Note Purchase Agreement to which it is a party from an institution satisfying the Rating Requirement or (iii) fund the Borrowing or cause to be funded the Borrowing referred to above, the Issuer shall have the right under the Class A-R Note Purchase Agreement, and shall be obligated to use reasonable efforts to replace such Holder or guarantor (at the cost of such Holder) with another entity that meets the Rating Requirement (by requiring the replaced Holder or guarantor to transfer all of its rights and obligations in respect of such Notes to the transferee entity).

-121-

(e) Class A-R Commitment Fee. The Class A-R Commitment Fees shall accrue for each day from and including the first day of each Collection Period to and including the last day of such Collection Period and shall be due and payable on each Distribution Date as provided in the Priority of Distributions and shall be calculated by the Class A-R Note Agent pursuant to the Class A-R Note Purchase Agreement. The amount of the Class A-R Commitment Fees due and payable on each Distribution Date shall be equal to the accrued and unpaid Class A-R Commitment Fees as of the corresponding Determination Date in respect of such Distribution Date. The Class A-R Commitment Fee will rank pari passu with the payment of interest on the Class A Notes. Class A-R Commitment Fees are computed on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest at the highest rate then applicable to the Class A-R Notes (or, if there are no Borrowings then outstanding, at the Base Rate) shall accrue on the portion of any Class A-R Commitment Fee payable to the Holders of the Class A-R Notes that is not paid when due.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Borrowing is made under the Class A-R Notes during a Stub Period, the interest accrued in respect of such Class A-R Notes during such Stub Period shall not be due and payable on the Distribution Date occurring at the end of such Stub Period (such Distribution Date, the "Immediate Distribution Date") and shall instead be due and payable on the Distribution Date immediately following the Immediate Distribution Date (such Distribution Date, the "Ensuing Distribution Date"), along with all accrued interest, accrued Class A-R Commitment Fees and other amounts that are otherwise due and payable on such Ensuing Distribution Date.

(f) Payment of Principal. Principal on the Class A Debt, other than in the case of a Class A-R Prepayment, shall be repaid in accordance with the Class A Principal Allocation Formula and the Class A-R Commitments shall be reduced by the Class A-R Commitment Reduction Amount.

(g) Reduction In Class A-R Commitments. On each Distribution Date occurring after the end of the Reinvestment Period but during the Class A-R Commitment Period (and after giving effect to the payments made under the Priority of Distributions on such date), the total Class A-R Commitments shall be reduced automatically to an amount equal to (i) the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Class A-R Notes less the amount of funds deposited into the Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Account (for so long as such proceeds remain on deposit therein) plus (ii) the Unfunded Amount (which shall be determined including any Revolving Collateral Obligations and Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations that the Issuer entered into binding commitments before the end of the Reinvestment Period to purchase after the end of the Reinvestment Period), but only to the extent that such reduction does not result in a Commitment Shortfall. One Business Day prior to such reduction of the Class A-R Commitments, the Collateral Manager shall provide the Class A-R Note Agent with notice thereof. The total Class A-R Commitments (and the Class A-R Commitment of each Holder of a Class A-R Note) shall be automatically reduced to zero at the close of business (New York City time) on the last day of the Class A-R Commitment Period, including the effective date of an Optional Redemption. The Class A-R Commitments shall be reduced in whole or in part in accordance with the Class A-R Note Purchase Agreement.

The Collateral Manager, the Issuer and the Class A-R Note Agent shall reasonably cooperate and provide the Trustee with all necessary information and instructions to give effect to the requirements of this Section 3.4 and the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon such instructions given by the Collateral Manager with respect to any of the foregoing.

REMEDIES

Section 5.1 Events of Default. "Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any

-125-

judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(a) a default in the payment, when due and payable, of (i) any interest on any Class A Debt (or, in the case of the Class A-R Notes, any related Class A-R Commitment Fee) or any Class B Debt or, if there is no Class A Debt or Class B Debt Outstanding, any Class C Note and the continuation of any such default for three Business Days, or (ii) any principal, interest, or Deferred Interest on, or any Redemption Price in respect of, any Secured Debt at its Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date (and payment in full has not been waived by each applicable Class); provided that the failure to effect any Optional Redemption which is withdrawn by the Issuer in accordance with this Indenture or with respect to which any Refinancing fails to occur shall not constitute an Event of Default; and provided, further, that, solely with respect to clause (i) above, in the case of a default in payment resulting solely from an administrative error or omission by the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Registrar, such default continues for a period of five or more Business Days after the Trustee receives written notice or a Bank Officer has actual knowledge of such administrative error or omission; provided, further, that, in the case of any default on any Redemption Date, only to the extent that such default continues for a period of five or more Business Days;

-126-

petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer under the Bankruptcy Laws or any other applicable law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, or sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or of any substantial part of its property, respectively, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days;

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

Upon obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default, each of (i) the Co-Issuers, (ii) the Trustee and (iii) the Collateral Manager shall notify each other, and the Trustee shall provide the notice of Default required under Section 6.2.

Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e) or (f)), the Trustee shall, upon the written direction of the Holders of a Majority of the Controlling Class by notice to the Applicable Issuers and each of the Rating Agencies, declare the principal of all the Secured Debt to be immediately due and payable, and upon any such declaration such principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and other amounts payable hereunder, shall become immediately due and payable and the Reinvestment Period shall terminate. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e) or (f) occurs, all unpaid principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of all the Secured Debt, and other amounts payable hereunder shall automatically become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

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

-127-

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

(A) all unpaid installments of interest and principal then due and payable on the Secured Debt (other than as a result of such acceleration);

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

(C) all unpaid taxes and Administrative Expenses of the Co-Issuers and other sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and any other amounts then payable by the Co-Issuers hereunder prior to such Administrative Expenses; and

(ii) if it has been determined that all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the interest on or principal of the Secured Debt that has become due as a result of acceleration, have (A) been cured, and a Majority of the Controlling Class by written notice to the Trustee has agreed with such determination (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld), or (B) been waived as provided in Section 5.14.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Any Hedge Agreement in effect upon such declaration of an acceleration must remain in effect until liquidation of the Assets has begun and such declaration is no longer capable of being rescinded or annulled; provided that the Issuer shall nevertheless be entitled to designate an early termination date under and in accordance with the terms of such Hedge Agreement.

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

If the Issuer or the Co-Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as agent for the Secured Parties, shall upon written direction of the Holders of a Majority of the Controlling Class, institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and enforce the same against the Applicable Issuers or any other obligor upon the Secured Debt 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 shall upon written direction of the Majority of the Controlling Class, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Secured Parties by such appropriate Proceedings as may be directed by the

-128-

Majority of the Controlling Class, to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

In case there shall be pending Proceedings relative to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or any other obligor upon the Secured Debt under the Bankruptcy Laws or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or their respective property or such other obligor or its property, or in case of any other comparable Proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or other obligor upon the Secured Debt, or the creditors or property of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, regardless of whether the principal of any Secured Debt 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 owing and unpaid in respect of the Secured Debt, as applicable, 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 reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of gross negligence or bad faith) and of the Secured Parties allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer upon the Secured Debt or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer;

(b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of the Secured Debt upon the direction of such Holders in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency Proceedings or person performing similar functions in comparable Proceedings; and

(c) to collect and receive any Monies or other property payable to or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Secured Parties 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 Secured Parties to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Secured Parties to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of gross 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 Secured Party, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Debt or any

-129-

Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Party in any such Proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person.

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

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 except according to the provisions specified in Section 5.5(a).

Section 5.4 Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Secured Debt has been declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Co-Issuers agree that the Trustee shall, upon written direction of the Holders of a Majority of the Controlling Class, to the extent permitted by applicable law, exercise one or more of the following rights, privileges and remedies:

(i) institute Proceedings for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Secured Debt 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 or cause the sale of all or a portion of the Assets or rights or interests therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law and in accordance with Sections 5.5 and 5.17;

(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 Holders of the Secured Debt hereunder (including, without limitation, exercising all rights of the Trustee under the Securities Account Control Agreement); and

(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 except according to the provisions specified in Section 5.5(a).

The Trustee may, but need not, obtain (at the expense of the Co-Issuers) and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation, or other appropriate advisor concerning the matter, which may (but need not) be the Placement Agent, as to the feasibility of any action proposed to be taken in accordance with this Section 5.4 and as to

-130-

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 Secured Debt, which opinion shall be conclusive evidence as to such feasibility or sufficiency and the cost of which shall be commercially reasonable.

(b) If an Event of Default as described in Section 5.1(d) hereof shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee, at the written direction 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 Secured Party 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 of Assets may, in paying the purchase Money, deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any of the Class A Debt in lieu of Cash equal to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable on the Class A Debt so delivered by such Holder (taking into account the Priority of Distributions and Article XIII). Said Debt, in case the amounts 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 Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders of the Secured Debt, shall operate to divest all right, title and interest whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of each of them in and to the property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each of them and their successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming through or under them.

(d) (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any other documents to which the Issuer or the Co-Issuer is or may be a party, none of the Trustee, the Secured Parties or the Holders or beneficial owners of the Obligations may, prior to the date which is one year (or if longer, any applicable preference period) and one day after the payment in full of all Obligations, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, winding up, moratorium or liquidation Proceedings, or other Proceedings under Cayman Islands, U.S. federal or state bankruptcy or similar laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article V, in the event that any Proceeding described in the immediately preceding sentence is commenced against the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or such Issuer Subsidiary, as applicable, subject to the availability of funds

-131-

as described in the immediately following sentence, will promptly object to the institution of any such proceeding against it and take all necessary or advisable steps to cause the dismissal of any such Proceeding (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to timely file an answer and any other appropriate pleading objecting to (i) the institution of any Proceeding to have the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or such Issuer Subsidiary, as the case may be, adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent or (ii) the filing of any petition seeking relief, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition or in respect of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be, under applicable bankruptcy law or any other applicable law). The reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) in connection with taking any such action will be paid as Administrative Expenses. Any person who acquires a beneficial interest in an Obligation shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the foregoing restrictions.

(ii) In the event one or more Holders or beneficial owners of Obligations institutes, or joins in the institution of, a proceeding described in clause (i) above against the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary in violation of the prohibition described above, such Holder(s) or beneficial owner(s) will be deemed to acknowledge and agree that any claim that such Holder(s) or beneficial owner(s) have against the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary or with respect to any Assets (including any proceeds thereof) shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Priority of Distributions, be fully subordinate in right of payment to the claims of each Holder and beneficial owner of any Secured Debt that does not seek to cause any such filing, with such subordination being effective until all Secured Debt held by each Holder or beneficial owners of any Secured Debt that does not seek to cause any such filing is paid in full in accordance with the Priority of Distributions (after giving effect to such subordination). The terms described in the immediately preceding sentence are referred to herein as the "Bankruptcy Subordination Agreement". The Bankruptcy Subordination Agreement is intended to constitute a "subordination agreement" within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code). The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon an Issuer Order from the Issuer or the Collateral Manager on its behalf with respect to the payment of any amounts payable to Holders, which amounts are subordinated pursuant to this Section 5.4(d)(ii).

(iii) Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Trustee, any Secured Party or any Holder (A) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned period in (1) any case or Proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary or (2) any involuntary insolvency Proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Trustee, such Secured Party or such Holder, respectively, or (B) from commencing against the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary or any of their respective properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation Proceeding.

(iv) The restrictions described in clause (i) of this Section 5.4(d) are a material inducement for each Holder and beneficial owner of the Obligations to acquire such Obligations and for the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Collateral Manager to enter into this Indenture (in the case of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer) and the other applicable transaction

-132-

documents and are an essential term of this Indenture. Any Holder or beneficial owner of Obligations, any Issuer Subsidiary or either of the Co-Issuers may seek and obtain specific performance of such restrictions (including injunctive relief), including, without limitation, in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under Cayman Islands law, United States federal or state bankruptcy law or similar laws.

Section 5.5 Optional Preservation of Assets. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall retain the Assets securing the Secured Debt intact (except as otherwise expressly permitted or required by Sections 10.8 and 12.1), 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 Obligations in accordance with the Priority of Distributions set out in Section 11.1(a)(iii) and the provisions of Article X, Article XII and Article XIII unless:

(i) the Trustee, pursuant to Section 5.5(c), determines that the anticipated proceeds of a sale or liquidation of all or any portion of the Assets (after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation) would be sufficient to discharge in full the amounts then due (or, in the case of interest, accrued) and unpaid on the Secured Debt for principal and interest (including Deferred Interest), and all amounts payable prior to payment of principal on such Secured Debt (including amounts due and owing as Administrative Expenses, any due and unpaid Aggregate Collateral Management Fees and amounts payable to any Hedge Counterparty upon liquidation of all or any portion of the Assets) and a Majority of the Controlling Class agrees with such determination;

(ii) in the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (a) of the definition of such term due to failure to pay interest or principal on the Class A Debt, clause (e) of the definition of such term, clause (f) of the definition of such term or clause (g) of the definition of such term, the Holders of at least a Majority of the Class A Debt direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets (without regard to whether another Event of Default has occurred prior, contemporaneously or subsequent to such Event of Default); provided that no Class of Secured Debt (other than the Class A Debt) will have any rights to direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets pursuant to this clause (ii), regardless of whether any such Class becomes the Controlling Class; or

(iii) in the case of any Event of Default, a Supermajority of each Class of Secured Debt voting separately directs the sale and liquidation of all or any portion of the Assets.

The Trustee shall give written notice of the retention of the Assets to the Issuer with a copy to the Co-Issuer and the Collateral Manager. So long as such Event of Default is continuing, any such retention pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) may be rescinded at any time when one of the conditions specified in clauses (i) through (iii) exists.

In the event a liquidation of all or any portion of the Assets is commenced in accordance with this Section 5.5, all unpaid principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of all the Secured Debt, and other amounts payable under this Indenture shall

-133-

automatically become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

(b) Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee to sell the Assets securing the Secured Debt if one of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of 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 Obligations if prohibited by applicable law.

(c) In determining whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to obtain, with the cooperation of the Collateral Manager, bid prices with respect to each Asset from two nationally recognized dealers (as specified by the Collateral Manager in writing) at the time making a market in such Assets and shall compute the anticipated proceeds of sale or liquidation on the basis of the lower of such bid prices for each such Asset. If the Trustee is unable to obtain any bids, the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) shall be deemed to not exist. For the purposes of making the determinations required pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i), the Trustee shall apply the standards set forth in Section 6.3(c). In addition, for the purposes of determining issues relating to the execution of a sale or liquidation of all or any portion of the Assets and the execution of a sale or other liquidation thereof in connection with a determination whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Trustee may retain (at the Co-Issuers' expense and for a commercially reasonable fee) and rely on an opinion of an Independent bank of national reputation or other appropriate advisor concerning the matter.

The Trustee shall deliver to the Holders and the Collateral Manager a report stating the results of any determination required pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i) no later than 10 days after such determination is made. The Trustee shall make the determinations required by Section 5.5(a)(i) within 30 days after an Event of Default (or such longer period as is necessary if the information required to make such determination has not yet been received) or at the request of a Majority of the Controlling Class at any time during which the Trustee retains the Assets pursuant to Section 5.5(a).

Section 5.6 Trustee May Enforce Claims without Possession of Obligations. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or under any of the Secured Debt may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Secured Debt 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, and any recovery of judgment shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7.

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

-134-

Section 5.8 Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Obligation shall have any right to institute any Proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, any other Transaction Document, any of the Obligations, or any other matter related hereto or thereto or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder or thereunder, unless:

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

(b) the Holders of not less than 25% of the then Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Obligations 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 provided the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and 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 provision of such indemnity, has failed to institute any such Proceeding; and

(d) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the 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 Obligations shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture, any other Transaction Document or any Obligation to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Obligations of the same Class or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders of the Obligations of the same Class or to enforce any right under this Indenture, any other Transaction Document or any Obligation, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Obligations of the same Class subject to and in accordance with Section 13.1 and the Priority of Distributions.

In the event the Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity pursuant to this Section 5.8 from two or more groups of Holders of the Controlling Class, each representing less than a Majority of the Controlling Class, the Trustee shall act in accordance with the request specified by the group of Holders with the greatest percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture.

Section 5.9 Unconditional Rights of Holders of Secured Debt to Receive Principal and Interest. Subject to Sections 2.8(i), 2.13, 5.13, 6.15 and 13.1, but notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Secured Debt shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Secured Debt as such principal and interest becomes due and payable in accordance with the Priority of Distributions and Section 13.1, and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.8, to institute Proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. Holders of Secured Debt ranking junior to Obligations still Outstanding shall have no right to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment

-135-

until such time as no Secured Debt ranking senior to such Secured Debt remains Outstanding, which right shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.8, and shall not be impaired without the consent of any such Holder.

Section 5.10 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Holder shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holder shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.11 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.12 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or any Holder of Secured Debt to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein or of a subsequent Event of Default. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Secured Debt may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of the Secured Debt.

Section 5.13 Control by Majority of Controlling Class. A Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right following the occurrence, and during the continuance of, an Event of Default to cause the institution of and direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, and to direct the exercise of any trust, right, remedy or power conferred upon the Trustee; provided that:

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

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction;

(c) the Trustee shall have been provided with security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; and

(d) notwithstanding the foregoing, any direction to the Trustee to undertake a Sale of the Assets shall be by the Holders of Obligations representing the requisite percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of Obligations specified in Section 5.5.

-136-

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 V, a Majority of the Controlling Class may on behalf of the Holders of all the Obligations waive any past Default and its consequences, except a Default:

(a) in the payment of the principal of any Secured Debt (which may be waived with the consent of each Holder of such Secured Debt);

(b) in the payment of interest on the Obligations of the Controlling Class (which may be waived with the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Controlling Class);

(c) in respect of a provision hereof that under Section 8.2 cannot be modified or amended without the waiver or consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Obligation materially and adversely affected thereby (which may be waived with the consent of each such Holder); or

(d) in respect of a representation contained in Section 7.18 (which may be waived with the consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class if the Global Rating Agency Condition is satisfied).

In the case of any such waiver, the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders of the Obligations 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 Xxxxx'x, S&P, the Collateral Manager and each Holder.

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 Obligation 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, Collateral Administrator or Collateral Manager for any action taken, or omitted by it as Trustee, Collateral Administrator or Collateral Manager, as applicable, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Obligation on or after the applicable 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 Co-Issuers covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in

-137-

any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any valuation, appraisement, redemption or marshalling law or rights, in each case 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 Co-Issuers (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law or rights, and covenant that they shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted or rights created.

Section 5.17 Sale of Assets. (a) The power to effect any sale (a "Sale") of all or any portion of the Assets pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5 shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of such Assets remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Assets shall have been sold or all amounts secured by the Assets shall have been paid. The Trustee shall, upon direction of the Holders of Obligations representing the requisite percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of Obligations having the power to direct such Sale, from time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale pursuant to Section 5.5. The Trustee hereby expressly waives its rights to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale; provided that the Trustee shall be authorized to deduct the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by it in connection with such Sale from the proceeds thereof notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7.

(b) The Trustee may bid for and acquire any portion of the 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 Secured Debt 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. The Secured Debt 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 Obligations. 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 Opinion of Counsel, or, if no such Opinion of Counsel can be obtained and with the written 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.

(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.

-138-

Section 5.18 Action on the Obligations. The Trustee's right to seek and recover judgment on the Obligations 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 Holders 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 or the Co-Issuer.

ARTICLE VI

THE TRUSTEE

Section 6.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

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

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, 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 on their face to the requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly, but in any event within three Business Days in the case of an Officer's certificate furnished by the Collateral Manager, notify the party delivering the same if such certificate or opinion does not conform. 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 Holders.

(b) In case an Event of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall on behalf of the Holders of the Notes, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from a Majority of the Controlling Class, or from the Holders of not less than 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class pursuant to Section 5.4(b), exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

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

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

-139-

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

(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 indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it (if the amount of such funds or risk or liability is reasonably expected not to exceed the amount payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i)(A) on the immediately succeeding Distribution Date net of the amounts specified in Section 6.7(a), the Trustee shall be deemed to be reasonably assured of such repayment) unless such risk or liability relates to the performance of its ordinary services, including mailing of notices under Article V, under this Indenture; and

(v) in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of the form of such action.

(d) For all purposes under this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default described in Sections 5.1(c), (d), (e), or (f) unless a Bank Officer assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office 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, and such notice references the Obligations generally, the Issuer, the Co-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.

(e) Upon the Trustee receiving written notice from the Collateral Manager that an event constituting "cause" as defined in the Collateral Management Agreement has occurred, the Trustee shall, not later than one Business Day thereafter, forward such notice to the Holders of the Notes, as their names and addresses appear on the Register, and the Irish Stock Exchange, for so long as any Class of Notes is listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and so long as the guidelines of such exchange so require.

-140-

(f) Upon written request, the Trustee and the Registrar at the expense of the Issuer shall promptly provide to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Placement Agent or any agent thereof any information specified by such parties regarding the identity of Holders of the Obligations and payments on the Obligations that is reasonably available to the Trustee or the Registrar in their capacity as such, as the case may be, as may be necessary or helpful for the Issuer to achieve FATCA Compliance, which shall be used and disclosed solely in furtherance of the Issuer's FATCA Compliance. All information provided shall be true and correct to the best of the Trustee's and the Registrar's knowledge, it being understood that the Trustee and the Registrar shall have no liability for any such disclosure or the accuracy thereof.

Section 6.3 Certain Rights of Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1:

(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, note or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) any direction of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Order;

-141-

(o) in making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its Affiliates, in each case on an arm's length basis, whether it or such Affiliate is acting as a subagent of the Trustee or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. If otherwise qualified, obligations of the Bank or any of its Affiliates shall qualify as Eligible Investments hereunder;

(ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee in a timely manner upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including, without limitation, costs incurred by the Trustee in connection with the Issuer's obligation to achieve FATCA Compliance, securities transaction charges and the reasonable compensation and expenses and disbursements of its agents and legal counsel and of any accounting firm or investment banking firm employed by the Trustee pursuant to Sections 5.4, 5.5, 6.3(c), 10.7 or any other term of this Indenture, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) but with respect to securities transaction charges, only to the extent any such charges have not been waived during a Collection Period due to the Trustee's receipt of a payment from a financial institution with respect to certain Eligible Investments, as specified by the Collateral Manager in writing; and

(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, and arising out of or in

-145-

connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs) against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder and under any other transaction document related hereto.

(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 or the exercise or enforcement of remedies pursuant to Article V.

(b) The Trustee shall receive amounts pursuant to this Section 6.7 in accordance with the Priority of Distributions but only to the extent that funds are available for the payment thereof. 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 it hereunder; provided that nothing herein shall impair or affect the Trustee's rights under Section 6.9. No direction by the Holders shall affect the right of the Trustee to collect amounts owed to it under this Indenture. If on any date when an amount shall be payable to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture insufficient funds are available for the payment thereof, any portion of such amount not so paid shall be deferred and payable on such later date on which an amount shall be payable and sufficient funds are available therefor. The Issuer's obligations under this Section 6.7 shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.9.

(c) The Trustee hereby agrees not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary for the non-payment to the Trustee of any amounts provided by this Section 6.7 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 Obligations issued under this Indenture.

(d) The Issuer's payment obligations to the Trustee under this Section 6.7 shall be secured by the lien of this Indenture and Security Agreement, and shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 5.1(e) or (f), the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Bankruptcy Law or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Section 6.8 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be an organization or entity 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 U.S.$200,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, having a rating of at least "Baa1" by Moody's and at least "BBB+" by S&P and having an office within the United States. If such organization or entity publishes reports of condition 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 organization or entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent published report of condition. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance

-146-

with the provisions of this Section 6.8, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VI.

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 VI 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 Co-Issuers, the Collateral Manager, the Holders of the Obligations and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days prior to such resignation. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Co-Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees satisfying the requirements of Section 6.8 by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by an Authorized Officer of the Issuer and an Authorized Officer of the Co-Issuer, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee so resigning and one copy to the successor Trustee or Trustees, together with a copy to each Holder and the Collateral Manager; provided that the Issuer shall provide prior written notice to the Rating Agencies of any such appointment; provided, further, that the Issuer shall not appoint such successor trustee or trustees without the consent of a Majority of the Secured Debt of each Class voting as a single class (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 6.9(e), by an Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class) unless (i) the Issuer gives 10 days' prior written notice to the Holders of such appointment and (ii) a Majority of the Secured Debt (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 6.9(e), a Majority of the Controlling Class) do not provide written notice to the Issuer objecting to such appointment (the failure of any such Majority to provide such notice to the Issuer within 10 days of receipt of notice of such appointment from the Issuer being conclusively deemed to constitute hereunder consent to such appointment and approval of such successor trustee or trustees). 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 or any Holder, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 6.8.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of a Majority of each Class of Secured Debt voting separately or, at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing by an Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class, delivered to the Trustee and to the Co-Issuers.

(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 Co-Issuers or a Majority of the Controlling Class; or

(ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or of its property shall be

-147-

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 Co-Issuers, by Issuer Order, may remove the Trustee, or (B) subject to Section 5.15, any Holder may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee shall be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee for any reason (other than resignation), the Co-Issuers, by Issuer Order, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee meeting the requirements of Section 6.8. If the Co-Issuers shall fail to appoint a successor Trustee within 30 days after such removal or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee meeting the requirements of Section 6.8 may be appointed by a Majority of the Controlling Class by written instrument delivered to the Issuer and the retiring Trustee. The successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede any successor Trustee proposed by the Co-Issuers. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Co-Issuers or a Majority of the Controlling Class and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, subject to Section 5.15, the retiring Trustee may, or any Holder may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) The Co-Issuers shall give prompt notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee by mailing written notice of such event by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Collateral Manager, the Holders of the Obligations as their names and addresses appear in the Register and to each Rating Agency. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. If the Co-Issuers fail to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Co-Issuers.

(g) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee under this Section 6.9 shall be an effective resignation or removal of the Bank in all capacities under this Indenture and as Collateral Administrator under the Collateral Administration Agreement.

Section 6.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall meet the requirements of Section 6.8 and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Co-Issuers 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 Co-Issuers or a Majority of any Class of Secured Debt 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. Upon request of any

-148-

such successor Trustee, the Co-Issuers 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.

Section 6.11 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Trustee. Any organization or entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any organization or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any organization or entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such organization or entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VI, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any of the Notes has 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.

Section 6.12 Co-Trustees. At any time or times, 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 Co-Issuers and the Trustee shall have power to appoint one or more Persons 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 U.S.$200,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, to act as co-trustee (subject to the written approval of S&P and, if such co-trustee does not have a long-term debt rating of at least "Baa1" by Moody's, subject to satisfaction of the Xxxxx'x Rating Condition), 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 and to make such claims and enforce such rights of action on behalf of the Holders, as such Holders themselves may have the right to do, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.12.

The Co-Issuers 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 Co-Issuers do not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by them of a request to do so, the Trustee shall have the power to make such appointment.

Should any written instrument from the Co-Issuers 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 Co-Issuers. The Co-Issuers agree to pay (but only from and to the extent of the Assets), to the extent funds are available therefor under Section 11.1(a)(i)(A), 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, Cash and other personal

-149-

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 as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee;

(c) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Co-Issuers 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 Co-Issuers. 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;

(e) the Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any act or omission of a co-trustee; and

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

The Issuer shall notify each Rating Agency then rating a Class of Secured Debt of the appointment of a co-trustee hereunder.

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 payment with respect to any Pledged Obligation on its Due Date, (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 issuer 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(c), shall take such action as the Collateral Manager shall direct in writing. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture. In the event that the Issuer or the Collateral Manager requests a release of a Pledged Obligation and/or delivers an additional Collateral Obligation in connection with any such action under the Collateral Management Agreement or this Indenture, such release and/or substitution shall be subject to Section 10.8 and Article XII 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 or any additional Collateral

-150-

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 Authenticating Agents. Upon the request of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee shall, and if the Trustee so chooses the Trustee may, 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, 2.7 and 8.5, 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 6.14 shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes by the Trustee.

Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation 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 Co-Issuers. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Issuer, promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the Co-Issuers.

Unless the Authenticating Agent is also the same entity as the Trustee, the Issuer agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating thereto as an Administrative Expense under Section 11.1. The provisions of Sections 2.9, 6.4 and 6.5 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

Section 6.15 Withholding. If any withholding tax is imposed under applicable law (including FATCA) on the Issuer's payments (or allocations of income) under the Obligations to any Holder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Holder. The Trustee or any Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to any Holder sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed or required to be withheld by the Issuer (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trustee or such Paying Agent from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any such withholding tax imposed with respect to any Holder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Holder at the time it is withheld by the Trustee or any Paying Agent and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution and the Trustee or any Paying Agent has not received documentation from such Holder showing an exemption from withholding, the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 6.15.

-151-

If any Holder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall reasonably cooperate with such Holder in making such claim so long as such Holder agrees to reimburse the Trustee or such Paying Agent for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

Section 6.16 Representative for Holders of Secured Debt Only; Agent for each other Secured Party and the Holders of the Subordinated Notes. With respect to the security interest created hereunder, the delivery of any Asset to the Trustee is to the Trustee as representative of the Holders of Secured Debt and agent for each other Secured Party and the Holders of the Subordinated Notes. In furtherance of the foregoing, the possession by the Trustee of any Asset and the endorsement to or registration in the name of the Trustee of any Asset (including without limitation as Entitlement Holder of the Custodial Account) are undertaken by the Trustee in its capacity as representative for the Holders of Secured Debt and agent for each other Secured Party and the Holders of the Subordinated Notes.

For the avoidance of doubt, no written communication given by S&P under this Section 6.18 shall be deemed to satisfy the S&P Rating Condition unless such communication is provided by S&P specifically in satisfaction of the S&P Rating Condition.

-153-

of such 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 Obligations to withholding tax as a result of such appointment. The Co-Issuers hereby appoint, for so long as any Class of Notes is listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, Xxxxxx Xxx Listing Services Limited (in such capacity, the "Irish Listing Agent") as listing agent in Ireland with respect to the Listed Notes. In the event that the Irish Listing Agent is replaced at any time during such period, notice of the appointment of any replacement shall be sent to the Irish Stock Exchange as promptly as practicable after such appointment. The Co-Issuers shall at all times maintain a duplicate copy of the Register at the Corporate Trust Office. The Co-Issuers shall give written notice as soon as reasonably practicable to the Trustee, the Holders, and each Rating Agency 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 Co-Issuers shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or outside the United States, or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, presentations and surrenders may be made (subject to the limitations described in the preceding paragraph) at and notices and demands may be served on the Co-Issuers, and Notes may be presented and surrendered for payment to the Trustee at its main office, and the Co-Issuers hereby appoint the same as their agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

When the Applicable Issuers shall have a Paying Agent that is not also the Registrar and/or the Trustee, they shall furnish, or cause the 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 and of the certificate numbers of individual Notes held by each such Holder.

Whenever the Applicable Issuers shall have a Paying Agent other than the Trustee, they shall, on or before the Business Day next preceding each Distribution Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be, direct the Trustee to deposit on such Distribution Date with such Paying Agent, if necessary, an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due (to the extent funds are then available for such purpose in the Payment Account), such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Co-Issuers 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 Obligations 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 X.

-154-

The initial Paying Agent shall be as set forth in Section 7.2. Any additional or successor Paying Agents shall be appointed by Issuer Order with written notice thereof to the Trustee; provided, however, that so long as the Secured Debt of any Class are rated by a Rating Agency, with respect to any additional or successor Paying Agent, either (i) such Paying Agent has a long-term debt rating of "A+" or higher by S&P and "A1" or higher by Xxxxx'x or a short-term debt rating of "P-1" by Xxxxx'x and "A-1+" by S&P or (ii) the Global Rating Agency Condition is satisfied. In the event that such successor Paying Agent ceases to have a long-term debt rating of "A+" or higher by S&P and "A1" or higher by Xxxxx'x or a short-term debt rating of "P-1" by Xxxxx'x and "A-1+" by S&P, the Co-Issuers shall promptly remove such Paying Agent and appoint a successor Paying Agent. The Co-Issuers shall not appoint any Paying Agent that is not, at the time of such appointment, a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision and examination by federal and/or state and/or national banking authorities. The Co-Issuers shall cause each Paying Agent other than the 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 shall:

(a) allocate all sums received for payment to the Holders of Obligations for which it acts as Paying Agent on each Distribution Date and any Redemption Date among such Holders in the proportion specified in the applicable Distribution Report or report pertaining to such Redemption Date to the extent permitted by applicable law;

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

(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 in trust for the payment of Obligations 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 the Co-Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Obligations) in the making of any payment required to be made; and

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

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

-155-

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

Section 7.4 Existence of Co-Issuers; Issuer Subsidiaries. (a) The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, maintain in full force and effect their existence and rights as companies incorporated organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and the State of Delaware, respectively, and shall obtain and preserve their qualification to do business as foreign corporations in each jurisdiction in which such qualifications are or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Obligations or any of the Assets; provided, however, that the Issuer shall be entitled to change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to any other jurisdiction reasonably selected by the Issuer so long as (i) the Issuer has received a legal opinion (upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely) to the effect that such change is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders, (ii) written notice of such change shall have been given by the Issuer to the Trustee (which shall provide notice to the Holders), the Collateral Manager and each Rating Agency and (iii) on or prior to the 15th Business Day following receipt of such notice the Trustee shall not have received written notice from a Majority of the Controlling Class objecting to such change.

(b) The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall ensure that all corporate or other formalities regarding their respective existences (including holding regular board of directors' and shareholders', or other similar, meetings) are followed. Neither the Issuer nor the Co-Issuer shall take any action, or conduct its affairs in a manner, that is likely to result in its separate existence being ignored (other than for U.S. federal, state or local tax purposes) or in its assets and liabilities being substantively consolidated with any other Person in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding. Without limiting the foregoing, the Issuer shall not have any subsidiaries (other than (i) the Co-Issuer and (ii) any subsidiary that (w) meets the then-current general criteria of the Rating Agencies for bankruptcy remote entities, (x) does not obtain title to real property or hold or obtain a controlling interest in an entity that owns real property, (y) is formed for the purpose of holding (i) equity interests received in a workout of a Defaulted Obligation that was previously acquired by the Issuer or otherwise acquired in connection with a workout of a Collateral Obligation that was previously acquired by the Issuer or (ii) other assets realized upon foreclosure or other exercise of remedies against any collateral of an Obligor, except as set forth in clause (x) above and (z) includes customary "non-petition" and "limited recourse" provisions in any agreement to which it is a party (any such subsidiary

-156-

described in this clause (ii), an "Issuer Subsidiary")). The Co-Issuer shall not have any subsidiaries. The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall not (A) have any employees (other than their respective directors), (B) except as contemplated by the Collateral Management Agreement, the Memorandum and Articles or the Administration Agreement, engage in any transaction with any shareholder that would constitute a conflict of interest or (C) pay dividends other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Memorandum and Articles. The Issuer shall not obtain title to real property or hold or obtain a controlling interest in an entity that owns real property. The Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any consideration that is due and payable to the Issuer as a result of any workout, restructuring or foreclosure upon a Collateral Obligation is transferred to the Issuer or an Issuer Subsidiary, other than where (i) the express terms of this Indenture (including, without limitation, with respect to real property as set forth in the preceding sentence and clause (x) above) or applicable law would prohibit such transfer to the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary or (ii) the Collateral Manager reasonably determines, based upon written advice of counsel, that such transfer to the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary would have any adverse regulatory, tax or other consequence to the Issuer; provided that, in the event that clauses (i) and/or (ii) above are applicable, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell such Collateral Obligation prior to receipt of such consideration in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

(c) The Issuer shall ensure that any Issuer Subsidiary (i) is wholly owned by the Issuer, (ii) will not sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of; or pledge, mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise encumber (or permit such to occur or suffer such to exist), any part of its assets, except in compliance with the Issuer's rights and obligations under this Indenture and with such subsidiary's constituent documents, (iii) will not have any subsidiaries unless complying with the terms of clause (ii) above, this clause (iii) or clauses (iv) through (vii) below, (iv) will comply with the restrictions set forth in Section 7.8(a)(i), (iii), (ix), (x), (xi), (xiv), (xv) and (xvi) of this Indenture, (v) will not incur or guarantee any indebtedness and will not hold itself out as being liable of the debts of any other Person, (vi) will include in its constituent documents (A) a limitation on its business such that it may only engage in the acquisition of assets permitted under this Indenture and the disposition of such assets and the proceeds thereof to the Issuer (and activities ancillary thereto) and (B) provisions ensuring the separate existence of such Issuer Subsidiary from any other Person, (vii) will have at least one director that is an Independent director complying with any applicable Rating Agency criteria and that is required to consider the interests of the Holders with respect to such Issuer Subsidiary and (viii) will distribute 100% of the proceeds of the assets acquired by it (net of applicable taxes and expenses payable by it) to the Issuer.

(d) The Issuer shall provide Xxxxx'x and S&P with prior written notice of the formation of any Issuer Subsidiary and of the transfer of any asset to any Issuer Subsidiary.

Section 7.5 Protection of Assets. (a) The Issuer, or the Collateral Manager on behalf and at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause the taking of such action by the Issuer (or by the Collateral Manager if within the Collateral Manager's control under the Collateral Management Agreement) as is reasonably necessary in order to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Trustee in the Assets, provided that the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to rely on any Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to Section 7.6 and any Opinion of Counsel with respect to the same subject matter delivered pursuant to Section

-157-

3.1(a)(iii) to determine what actions are reasonably necessary, and shall be fully protected in so relying on such an Opinion of Counsel, unless the Collateral Manager has actual knowledge that the procedures described in any such Opinion of Counsel are no longer adequate to maintain such perfection and priority. The Issuer shall from time to time prepare or cause to be prepared, execute, deliver and file all such supplements and amendments hereto and 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 Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Secured Debt hereunder and to:

(i) Grant more effectively all or any portion of the Issuer's right, title and interest in, to and under the Assets;

(ii) maintain, preserve and perfect any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture including, without limitation, the first priority nature of the lien or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;

(iii) perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture (including, without limitation, any and all actions necessary or desirable as a result of changes in law or regulations);

(iv) enforce any of the Pledged Obligations or other instruments or property included in the Assets;

(v) preserve and defend title to the Assets and the rights therein of the Secured Parties in the Assets against the claims of all Persons and parties;

(vi) if reasonably able to do so, deliver or cause to be delivered a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 of the Retention Provider (if the Issuer is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or a W-8IMY (with all required attachments) of the Issuer (if the Issuer is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or successor applicable form to each issuer, counterparty, paying agent, as necessary to permit the Issuer to receive payments without withholding; or

(vii) cause to be paid any and all taxes levied or assessed upon all or any part of the Assets.

The Issuer hereby designates the Trustee as its agent and attorney in fact to prepare and file or record any Financing Statement (other than the Financing Statement delivered on the Closing Date), continuation statement and all other instruments, and take all other actions, required pursuant to this Section 7.5; provided that such appointment shall not impose upon the Trustee any of the Issuer's or the Collateral Manager's obligations under this Section 7.5. In connection therewith, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, at the cost of the Issuer, and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel delivered in accordance with Section 7.6 as to the need to file, the dates by which such filings are required to be made and the jurisdiction in which such filings are to be made and the form and content of such filings. The Issuer further authorizes and shall cause the Issuer's United States counsel to file a Financing Statement that names the Issuer as debtor and the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as secured party and

-158-

that describes "all assets in which the debtor now or hereafter has rights" as the Assets in which the Trustee has a Grant.

(b) The Trustee shall not, except in accordance with Article V and Sections 10.6, 12.1, and 12.4, as applicable, permit the removal of any portion of the Assets or transfer any such Assets from the Account to which it is credited, or cause or permit any change in the Delivery made pursuant to Section 3.3 with respect to any Assets, if, after giving effect thereto, the jurisdiction governing the perfection of the Trustee's security interest in such Assets is different from the jurisdiction governing the perfection at the time of delivery of the most recent Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 7.6 (or, if no Opinion of Counsel has yet been delivered pursuant to Section 7.6, the Opinion of Counsel delivered at the Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(iii)) unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the lien and security interest created by this Indenture with respect to such property and the priority thereof shall continue to be maintained after giving effect to such action or actions.

(c) The Issuer shall register the security interests granted under this Indenture in the register of mortgages and charges maintained at the Issuer's registered office in the Cayman Islands.

Section 7.6 Opinions as to Assets. On or before May 28th in each calendar year, commencing in 2016, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee (with copies to the Rating Agencies) an Opinion of Counsel relating to the security interest granted by the Issuer to the Trustee, stating that, as of the date of such opinion, the lien and security interest created by this Indenture with respect to the Assets remain in effect and that no further action (other than as specified in such opinion) needs to be taken to ensure the continued effectiveness of such lien over the next year.

Section 7.7 Performance of Obligations. (a) The Co-Issuers, each as to itself, shall not take any action 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 pricing amendments, ordinary course waivers/amendments, and enforcement action taken with respect to any Defaulted Obligation in accordance with the provisions hereof and actions by the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement and in conformity with this Indenture or as otherwise required hereby.

(b) The Applicable Issuers may, with the prior written consent of a Majority of each Class of Secured Debt (except in the case of the Collateral Management Agreement, the Collateral Administration Agreement, the Placement Agency Agreement and the Administration Agreement, in which case no consent shall be required), contract with other Persons, including the Collateral Manager, the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator, the Administrator and the Placement Agent for the performance of actions and obligations to be performed by the Applicable Issuers hereunder and under the Transaction Documents by such Persons. Notwithstanding any such arrangement, the Applicable Issuers shall remain primarily liable with respect thereto. In the event of such contract, the performance of such actions and obligations by such Persons shall be deemed to be performance of such actions and obligations by the Applicable Issuers; and the Applicable Issuers shall punctually perform, and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Collateral Manager, the Trustee, the Collateral

-159-

Administrator and such other Person to perform, all of their obligations and agreements contained in the Collateral Management Agreement, this Indenture, the Collateral Administration Agreement or any such other agreement.

Section 7.8 Negative Covenants. (a) The Issuer shall not and, with respect to clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x) the Co-Issuer shall not, in each case from and after the Closing Date:

"Rule 144A Information" shall be such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto).

Section 7.15 Calculation Agent. (a) The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any Secured Debt remains Outstanding there shall at all times be an agent appointed (which does not control or is not controlled or under common control with the Issuer or its Affiliates or the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates) to calculate LIBOR in respect of each Interest Accrual Period in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (the "Calculation Agent"). The Issuer hereby appoints the Collateral Administrator as Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, shall promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer or its Affiliates or the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed.

(b) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree (and the Collateral Administrator as Calculation Agent does hereby agree) that, as soon as possible after 11:00 a.m. London time on each Interest Determination Date, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. New York time on the London Banking Day immediately following each Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall calculate the Debt Interest Rate for each Class of Secured Debt (other than in the case of the Class A-R Notes, where such amount is to be calculated by the Holder of such Class A-R Note below or the Class A-R Note Agent) for the next Interest Accrual Period and the Secured Debt Interest Amount for each Class of Secured Debt (in each case, rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upward) for the next Interest Accrual Period, on the related Distribution Date. At such time the Calculation Agent shall communicate such rates and amounts to the Co-Issuers, the Trustee, each Paying Agent, the Collateral Manager, Euroclear and Clearstream. The Calculation Agent shall also specify to the Co-Issuers the quotations upon which the foregoing rates and amounts are based, and in any event the Calculation Agent shall notify the Co-Issuers before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on every

-165-

Interest Determination Date if it has not determined and is not in the process of determining any such Debt Interest Rate or Secured Debt Interest Amount together with its reasons therefor. The Calculation Agent's determination of the foregoing rates and amounts for any Interest Accrual Period shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties.

(c) Each CP Conduit (or its administrator) that is a Holder of the Class A-R Notes shall notify the Class A-R Note Agent, the Calculation Agent, the Trustee, the Co-Issuers and the Collateral Manager of the Class A-R CP Rate for the related Interest Accrual Period on or prior to the related Determination Date or otherwise upon written request. The Class A-R CP Rate for each CP Conduit shall be calculated, for each day during the period between the date of such notice and the last day of each Interest Accrual Period (the "Estimate Period"), on the basis of such CP Conduit's good faith estimate of its funding costs for such Estimate Period, and the amount of interest payable to such CP Conduit in respect of the following Interest Accrual Period shall be increased by the amount, if any, by which interest at the actual Class A-R CP Rates for such CP Conduit for the Estimate Period exceeds the amount estimated or shall be decreased by the amount, if any, by which the amount of interest at the estimated Class A-R CP Rates for such Estimate Period exceeds the amount of interest accrued at the actual CP Rates. However, on the Stated Maturity of the Class A-R Notes, any such increase or decrease that would be due pursuant to the preceding sentence shall instead be settled and paid on such Stated Maturity. The Interest Rate payable to each CP Conduit holding a Class A-R Note shall be subject to the Interest Rate Cap as provided in the Priority of Distributions.

(d) Each CP Conduit (or its administrator) that is a Holder of the Class A-R Notes shall notify the Class A-R Note Agent, the Calculation Agent, the Trustee, the Co-Issuers and the Collateral Manager prior to any Borrowing that is to be funded by such CP Conduit if such Borrowing will not be funded by the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes, in which case clause (b)(ii) of the definition of "Class A-R Note Interest Rate" shall be applicable.

Section 7.16 Certain Tax Matters. (a) The Co-Issuers will treat the Co-Issuers and the Obligations as described in the "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" section of the Offering Circular for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes and will take no action inconsistent with such treatment unless required by law.

income tax return in the United States (except for a refund of amounts withheld) unless it shall have obtained advice of Milbank, Tweed, Xxxxxx & XxXxxx LLP or Dechert LLP, or an Opinion of Counsel of other nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters, prior to such filing to the effect that, under the laws of such jurisdiction, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer (as applicable) is required to file such income or franchise tax return.

(d) The Issuer will have in effect an election to be treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes at the time that the Notes are issued. The Issuer will not take or permit any action that would result in the Issuer being treated as a publicly traded partnership or otherwise taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Issuer shall take, and shall cause each Issuer Subsidiary to take, any and all reasonable actions that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Issuer and such Issuer Subsidiary satisfy any and all withholding and tax payment obligations under Code Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446, 1471, 1472, and any other provision of the Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Issuer and any Issuer Subsidiary may withhold any amount that it or any advisor retained by the Trustee on its behalf determines is required to be withheld from any amounts otherwise distributable to any Person. The Issuer (or an agent acting on its behalf) shall take such reasonable actions, including hiring agents or advisors, consistent with law and its obligations under this Indenture, as are necessary to achieve FATCA Compliance, including appointing any agent or representative to perform due diligence, withholding or reporting obligations of the Issuer pursuant to FATCA, and any other action that the Issuer would be permitted to take under this Indenture in furtherance of achieving FATCA Compliance.

(f) Upon the Trustee's receipt of a request by a Holder or by a Person certifying that it is an owner of a beneficial interest in a Secured Debt for the information described in Treasury regulations section 1.1275-3(b)(i) that is applicable to such Holder or beneficial owner, the Issuer shall cause its Independent accountants to provide promptly to the Trustee and such requesting Holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such an Obligation all of such information. Any additional issuance of the Additional Obligations shall be accomplished in a manner that shall allow the Independent accountants of the Issuer to accurately calculate original issue discount income to Holders of the Additional Obligations.

Section 7.17 Ramp-Up Period; Purchase of Additional Collateral Obligations. (a) The Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the Aggregate Ramp-Up Par Condition by the end of the Ramp-Up Period.

(b) During the Ramp-Up Period (and, to the extent necessary to secure the confirmations referenced in Section 7.17(c), after the Ramp-Up Period), the Issuer shall use the following funds to purchase additional Collateral Obligations in the following order: (i) to pay for the principal portion of any Collateral Obligation from, first, any Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account, second, any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account and third, from Borrowings under the Class A-R Notes and (ii) to pay for accrued interest on any such Collateral Obligation from any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account. In addition, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to

-167-

acquire such Collateral Obligations that shall satisfy, as of the end of the Ramp-Up Period, the Collateral Quality Test (excluding the S&P CDO Monitor Test) and the Overcollateralization Ratio Tests.

(c) Within 30 Business Days after the end of the Ramp-Up Period (but in any event, prior to the Determination Date relating to the first Distribution Date), (i) the Issuer shall provide, or (at the Issuer's expense) cause the Collateral Manager to provide, to each Rating Agency (in the case of delivery to S&P, via email to XXXXxxxxxxxxXxxxXxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx and in the case of delivery to Xxxxx'x, via email to xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx) a report identifying the Collateral Obligations and to S&P the S&P Excel Default Model Input File and the LoanX identifier of each Collateral Obligation (if any), requesting that S&P reaffirm its Initial Ratings of the Secured Notes that it rated; (ii) the Issuer shall cause the Collateral Administrator to compile and make available to Xxxxx'x a report (the "Xxxxx'x Effective Date Report"), determined as of the end of the Ramp-Up Period, containing (A) the information required in a Monthly Report (with a copy of such information to S&P) and (B) a calculation with respect to whether the Aggregate Ramp-Up Par Condition is satisfied; and (iii) the Issuer shall provide to the Trustee an Accountants' Report recalculating and comparing the following items in the Xxxxx'x Effective Date Report: (1) with respect to each Collateral Obligation, by reference to such sources as shall be specified therein, the issuer name, coupon/spread, maturity date, principal balance, Xxxxx'x Default Probability Rating, Xxxxx'x Rating and S&P Rating, (2) as of the end of the Ramp-Up Period, each of the Overcollateralization Ratio Tests, the Collateral Quality Test (excluding the S&P CDO Monitor Test), and the Concentration Limitations, and (3) whether the Aggregate Ramp-Up Par Condition is satisfied, together with a statement specifying the procedures performed at the request of the Issuer relating to such Accountants' Report. If (x) the Issuer provides the foregoing Accountants' Report to the Trustee, together with a certificate of the Issuer (such certificate, the "Effective Date Issuer Certificate") certifying the results of (i) the items set forth in the immediately foregoing subclause (2) and (ii) the Aggregate Ramp-Up Par Condition, and such results do not indicate any failure of any such tested item, and (y) the Issuer causes the Collateral Administrator to make available to Xxxxx'x the Xxxxx'x Effective Date Report and such Xxxxx'x Effective Date Report indicates satisfaction of (i) the items set forth in the immediately foregoing subclause (2) and (ii) the Aggregate Ramp-Up Par Condition, then a written confirmation from Xxxxx'x of its Initial Rating of the Secured Notes that it rated shall be deemed to have been provided (a "Xxxxx'x Effective Date Deemed Rating Confirmation"). For the avoidance of doubt, the Xxxxx'x Effective Date Report shall not include or refer to the Accountants' Report.

(d) If, by the Determination Date relating to the first Distribution Date, either (x)(1) there has occurred no Xxxxx'x Effective Date Deemed Rating Confirmation or (2) Xxxxx'x has not provided written confirmation of its Initial Ratings of each Class of the Secured Debt that it rated (a "Xxxxx'x Ramp-Up Failure"), then the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, shall instruct the Trustee in writing to transfer amounts from the Interest Collection Account and/or the Ramp-Up Account to the Principal Collection Account (and with such funds the Issuer shall purchase additional Collateral Obligations) in an amount sufficient to obtain from Xxxxx'x a confirmation of its Initial Ratings of each Class of the Secured Debt that it rated (provided that the amount of such transfer would not result in deferral of interest with respect to the Class A Debt or the Class B Debt); provided that, in the alternative, the Collateral

-168-

Manager on behalf of the Issuer may take such other action, including but not limited to, a Special Redemption and/or transferring amounts from the Interest Collection Account or the Ramp-Up Account to the Principal Collection Account as Principal Proceeds (for use in a Special Redemption), sufficient to obtain from Xxxxx'x a confirmation of its Initial Ratings of each Class of the Secured Debt that it rated) or (y) S&P has not provided written confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Class A Debt (an "S&P Rating Failure"), then the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, shall take the actions set forth in clause (x) above (including the proviso thereto) in an amount sufficient to obtain from S&P such written confirmation.

(e) The failure of the Issuer to satisfy the requirements of this Section 7.17 shall not constitute an Event of Default unless such failure would otherwise constitute an Event of Default under Section 5.1(d) hereof and the Issuer, or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer, has acted in bad faith. At the written direction of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer), the Trustee shall apply amounts held in the Ramp-Up Account to purchase additional Collateral Obligations during the Ramp-Up Period as described in clause (b) above. If at the end of the Ramp-Up Period, any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account have not been applied to purchase Collateral Obligations, such amounts shall be applied as described in Section 10.3(d).

(f) Asset Quality Matrix. On or prior to the last day of the Ramp-Up Period, the Collateral Manager shall elect the "row/column combination" of the Asset Quality Matrix that shall apply on and after the last day of the Ramp-Up Period to the Collateral Obligations for purposes of determining compliance with the Xxxxx'x Diversity Test, the Xxxxx'x Maximum Rating Factor Test and the Minimum Floating Spread Test, and if such "row/column combination" differs from the "row/column combination" chosen to apply as of the Closing Date, the Collateral Manager shall so notify the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator. Thereafter, at any time on written notice of two Business Days to the Collateral Administrator, the Trustee and Xxxxx'x, the Collateral Manager may elect a different "row/column combination" of the Asset Quality Matrix to apply to the Collateral Obligations; provided that, if: (i) the Collateral Obligations are currently in compliance with the Asset Quality Matrix case then applicable to the Collateral Obligations, the Collateral Obligations comply with the Asset Quality Matrix case to which the Collateral Manager desires to change; or (ii) the Collateral Obligations are not currently in compliance with the Asset Quality Matrix case then applicable to the Collateral Obligations or would not be in compliance with any other Asset Quality Matrix case, the Collateral Obligations need not comply with the Asset Quality Matrix case to which the Collateral Manager desires to change so long as the degree of compliance of such Collateral Obligations with each of the Minimum Floating Spread Test, the Xxxxx'x Diversity Test, and the Xxxxx'x Maximum Rating Factor Test not in compliance would be maintained or improved if the Asset Quality Matrix case to which the Collateral Manager desires to change is used; provided that if subsequent to such election the Collateral Obligations comply with any Asset Quality Matrix case, the Collateral Manager shall elect a "row/column" combination" that corresponds to an Asset Quality Matrix case in which the Collateral Obligations are in compliance. If the Collateral Manager does not notify the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator that it will alter the "row/column combination" of the Asset Quality Matrix chosen on or prior to the last day of the Ramp-Up Period in the manner set forth above, the "row/column combination" of the Asset Quality Matrix chosen on or prior to the last day of the Ramp-Up Period shall continue to apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Manager may elect

-169-

at any time after the Ramp-Up Period, in lieu of selecting a "row/column combination" of the Asset Quality Matrix, to interpolate between two adjacent rows and/or two adjacent columns, as applicable, on a straight-line basis and round the results to two decimal points.

(g) S&P CDO Monitor Test; S&P Weighted Average Recovery Rate. The Collateral Manager may, at any time after the Closing Date upon at least five Business Days' prior written notice to S&P, the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator, elect to utilize the S&P CDO Monitor in determining compliance with the S&P CDO Monitor Test (the effective date specified by the Collateral Manager for such election, the "S&P CDO Monitor Election Date"). On or prior to later of (x) the S&P CDO Monitor Election Date and (y) the end of the Ramp-Up Period, the Collateral Manager shall elect the S&P Weighted Average Recovery Rate that shall apply on and after such date to the Collateral Obligations for purposes of determining compliance with the S&P Minimum Weighted Average Recovery Rate Test, and the Collateral Manager will so notify the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator. Thereafter, at any time on written notice to the Trustee in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto, the Collateral Administrator and S&P, the Collateral Manager may elect a different S&P Weighted Average Recovery Rate to apply to the Collateral Obligations; provided that if (i) the Collateral Obligations are currently in compliance with the S&P Weighted Average Recovery Rate case then applicable to the Collateral Obligations but the Collateral Obligations would not be in compliance with the S&P Weighted Average Recovery Rate case to which the Collateral Manager desires to change, then such changed case shall not apply or (ii) the Collateral Obligations are not currently in compliance with the S&P Weighted Average Recovery Rate case then applicable to the Collateral Obligations and would not be in compliance with any other S&P Weighted Average Recovery Rate case, the S&P Weighted Average Recovery Rate to apply to the Collateral Obligations shall be the lowest S&P Weighted Average Recovery Rate in Section 2 of Schedule 5. If the Collateral Manager does not notify the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator that it will alter the S&P Weighted Average Recovery Rate in the manner set forth above, the S&P Weighted Average Recovery Rate chosen as of the S&P CDO Monitor Election Date or the end of the Ramp-Up Period, as applicable, shall continue to apply.

(c) At the cost of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee shall provide to the Holders, the Collateral Manager and each Rating Agency a copy of the executed supplemental indenture after its execution. Any failure of the Trustee to publish or deliver such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. The Trustee may conclusively rely on an Opinion of Counsel (which may be supported as to factual (including financial and capital markets) matters by any relevant certificates and other documents necessary or advisable in the judgment of counsel delivering the opinion, including without limitation an officer's certificate of the Collateral Manager) as to whether the interests of any Holder of Notes would be materially and adversely affected by the modifications set forth in any supplemental indenture or other modification or amendment of this Indenture, it being expressly understood and agreed that the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any determination as to the satisfaction of the requirements related to any supplemental indenture which may form the basis of such Opinion of Counsel. Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all present and future Holders. 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.

(d) Except as provided in Section 8.6, a supplemental indenture entered into for any purpose other than the purposes provided for in this Section 8.1 shall require the consent of the Holders of Obligations as required in Section 8.2.

Section 8.2 Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders of Obligations. (a) With the consent of a Majority of each Class of Obligations materially and adversely affected thereby (if any), the Trustee and the Co-Issuers may enter into a supplemental indenture to add any provisions to, or change in any manner or eliminate any of the provisions of, this Indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Obligations of such Class under this Indenture; provided, however, that, no such supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8.2(a) shall, without the consent of each Holder of each Outstanding Obligation of each Class materially and adversely affected thereby:

(i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of or the due date of any installment of interest on any Secured Debt or Class A-R Commitment Fee on any Class A-R Note, reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon, except as otherwise permitted by this Indenture, or the Redemption Price with respect to any

(ii) reduce the percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of Holders of Obligations of each Class whose consent is required under this Indenture, including for the authorization of any such supplemental indenture, exercise of remedies under this Indenture or for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder or their consequences;

(iii) impair or adversely affect the Assets except as otherwise permitted in this Indenture;

(iv) except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Indenture, permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Assets or terminate such lien on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Secured Debt of the security afforded by the lien of this Indenture; provided that this clause shall not apply to any supplemental indenture amending the restrictions on the sales of Collateral Obligations set forth in this Indenture which is otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 8.1 or this Section 8.2;

(v) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture with respect to entering into supplemental indentures (A) requiring the consent of (1) the Holders of a Majority of each Class of Obligations or (2) the Holder of each Outstanding Obligation of each Class or (B) without the consent of such Holders or the requirements relating to the execution of such supplemental indentures, except in each case (x) to increase the percentage of Outstanding Secured Debt or Subordinated Notes the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such action, (y) with the consent of 100% of the Outstanding Obligations of the relevant Class, to increase the percentage of such Class that may give notice that a proposed modification materially and adversely affects such Class for any purpose, or (z) to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Secured Debt or Subordinated Note Outstanding and affected thereby;

(vi) modify the definitions of the terms "Outstanding," "Class," "Controlling Class," "Majority" or "Supermajority";

(vii) modify the definitions of the terms "Priority of Distributions" or "Debt Payment Sequence"; or

-179-

(viii) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such a manner as to directly affect the manner or procedure for the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest or principal on any Secured Debt, or for determining any amount available for distribution to the Subordinated Notes or to affect the rights of the Holders of Secured Debt to the benefit of any provisions for the redemption of such Secured Debt contained herein.

(b) The Issuer shall not enter into any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8.2 without the prior written consent of such Hedge Counterparty if such Hedge Counterparty (in its reasonable judgment) would be materially and adversely affected by such supplemental indenture and notifies the Issuer and the Trustee thereof.

(c) Promptly after the execution by the Co-Issuers and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8.2, the Trustee, at the expense of the Co-Issuers, shall deliver to the Holders, the Collateral Manager and each Rating Agency a copy thereof. Any failure of the Trustee to deliver a copy of any supplemental indenture as provided herein, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

(d) In connection with any proposed supplemental indenture requiring a determination as to whether any Class of Obligations would be materially and adversely affected by the execution thereof, the Trustee may conclusively rely on an Opinion of Counsel (which may be supported as to factual (including financial and capital markets) matters by any relevant certificates and other documents necessary or advisable in the judgment of counsel delivering the opinion) or an Officer's certificate of the Collateral Manager as to whether the interests of any Holder of Obligations would be materially and adversely affected by the modifications set forth in such supplemental indenture, it being expressly understood and agreed that the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any determination as to the satisfaction of the requirements related to any supplemental indenture which may form the basis of such Opinion of Counsel. Any determination by the Trustee as to whether any Class of Obligations would be materially and adversely affected by the execution thereof shall be conclusive and binding on all present and future Holders. 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.

Section 8.3 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. (a) In executing or accepting the additional trusts created by any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article VIII or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Co-Issuers and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.3) 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, except to the extent required by law.

(b) The Collateral Manager shall not be bound to follow any amendment or supplement to this Indenture unless it has received written notice of such amendment or

-180-

supplement and a copy of the amendment or supplement from the Issuer or the Trustee prior to the execution thereof in accordance with the notice requirements of Section 8.1 and Section 8.2. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, the Issuer agrees that it shall not permit to become effective any amendment or supplement to this Indenture which would (i) increase the duties or liabilities of, reduce or eliminate any right or privilege of (including as a result of an effect on the amount or the priority of any fees or other amounts payable to the Collateral Manager), or adversely change the economic consequences to, the Collateral Manager, (ii) directly or indirectly modify the restrictions on the purchases or sales of Collateral Obligations under Article XII or the Investment Criteria, or constitute an amendment under Section 8.1(a)(xxii)(A), (iii) expand or restrict the Collateral Manager's discretion or (iv) adversely affect the Collateral Manager, unless, with respect to each case, the Collateral Manager shall have consented in advance thereto in writing, such consent to not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that the Collateral Manager may withhold its consent in its sole discretion if such amendment or supplement affects the amount, timing or priority of payment of the Collateral Manager's fees or increases or adds to the obligations of the Collateral Manager, and the Issuer shall not enter into any such amendment or supplement unless the Collateral Manager shall have given its prior written consent.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no supplemental indenture or other modification or amendment of this Indenture pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 may become effective without the consent of each Holder of each Outstanding Obligation of each Class unless such supplemental indenture or other modification or amendment will not, in the reasonable judgment of the Issuer in consultation with Milbank, Tweed, Xxxxxx & XxXxxx LLP, Xxxxxxx LLP, or an Opinion of Counsel of other nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters, as certified by the Issuer to the Trustee (upon which certification the Trustee may conclusively rely), (i) result in the Issuer being treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) result in the Issuer becoming subject to U.S. federal income taxation with respect to its net income or (iii) have a material adverse effect on the tax treatment of the Issuer or the tax consequences to the Holders of any Class of Obligations Outstanding at the time of such supplemental indenture or other modification or amendment, as described in the Offering Circular under the heading "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations."

(d) At the expense of the Co-Issuers, for so long as any Secured Debt shall remain Outstanding, not later than 15 Business Days or, in the case of a proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to Sections 8.1(a)(xv) and 8.1(a)(xix), not later than 20 Business Days, prior to the execution of any proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to Section ‎8.1 which would require the consent of any Holders or any proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to Section ‎8.2, the Trustee shall deliver to the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator, each Hedge Counterparty, the Rating Agencies and the Holders a notice attaching a copy of such supplemental indenture and indicating the proposed date of execution of such supplemental indenture and will request any required consent from the applicable Holders of Obligations to be given within 10 Business Days or, in the case of a proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to Sections 8.1(a)(xv) and 8.1(a)(xix), 15 Business Days. Following such delivery by the Trustee, if any changes are made to such supplemental indenture other than changes of a technical nature or to correct typographical errors or to adjust formatting, then at the request and cost of the Co-Issuers, for so long as any Secured Debt shall remain Outstanding, not later than five Business

-181-

Days prior to the execution of such proposed supplemental indenture (provided that the execution of such proposed supplemental indenture shall not in any case occur earlier than the date that is 15 Business Days or 20 Business Days, as applicable, after the initial distribution of such proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to the first sentence of this Section ‎8.3(d)), the Trustee shall deliver to the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator, each Hedge Counterparty, the Rating Agencies and the Holders a copy of such supplemental indenture as revised, indicating the changes that were made.

(e) Any consent given to a proposed supplemental indenture by the Holder of any Obligations shall be irrevocable and binding on all future Holders or beneficial owners of that Obligation, irrespective of the execution date of the supplemental indenture. If the Holders of less than the required percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the relevant Obligations consent to a proposed supplemental indenture within 10 Business Days or, in the case of a proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to Sections 8.1(a)(xv) and 8.1(a)(xix), 15 Business Days, on the first Business Day following such period, the Trustee shall provide consents received to the Issuer and the Collateral Manager so that they may determine which Holders of Obligations have consented to the proposed supplemental indenture and which Holders of Obligations (and, to the extent such information is available to the Trustee, which beneficial owners) have not consented to the proposed supplemental indenture.

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

(g) For so long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, the Issuer shall notify the Irish Stock Exchange of any material modification to this Indenture.

Section 8.4 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article VIII, 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 Obligations 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 VIII may, and if required by the Issuer shall, bear a notice in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Applicable Issuers shall so determine, new Notes, so modified as to conform in the opinion of the Co-Issuers to any such supplemental indenture, may be prepared and executed by the Applicable Issuers and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

Section 8.6 Additional Provisions. (a) The Issuer and the Co-Issuer agree that they will not consent to or enter into any indenture supplemental hereto or any amendment to any other document related hereto that (i) amends any provisions of this Indenture or any other agreement entered into by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby relating to the institution of Proceedings for the Issuer or the Co-Issuer to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer to the

-182-

institution of bankruptcy or insolvency Proceedings against it, or the filing with respect to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under the Bankruptcy Laws or any other similar applicable law, or the consent by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer of any substantial part of its property, respectively or (ii) amends any provision of this Indenture or such other document that provides that the obligations of the Issuer are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer payable solely from the Assets in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and that the obligations of the Co-Issuer are non-recourse obligations.

(b) To the extent the Issuer executes a supplemental indenture or other modification or amendment of this Indenture for purposes of conforming this Indenture to the Offering Circular pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(ix) and one or more other amendment provisions described in Section 8.1(a) also applies, such supplemental indenture or other modification or amendment of this Indenture shall be deemed to be a supplemental indenture, modification or amendment to conform this Indenture to this Offering Circular pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(ix) regardless of the applicability of any other provision regarding supplemental indentures set forth in this Indenture.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision relating to supplemental indentures, at any time after the Non-Call Period, if any Class of Obligations has been or contemporaneously with the effectiveness of any supplemental indenture shall be paid in full in accordance with this Indenture, as so supplemented or amended, the written consent of any Holder of any Obligation of such Class will not be required with respect to such supplemental indenture.

ARTICLE IX

REDEMPTION OF NOTES

Section 9.1 Mandatory Redemption. If a Coverage Test is not met on any Determination Date on which such Coverage Test is applicable, the Issuer shall apply available amounts in the Payment Account on the related Distribution Date to make payments as required pursuant to the Priority of Distributions (a "Mandatory Redemption") to the extent necessary to achieve compliance with such Coverage Test.

Section 9.2 Optional Redemption or Redemption Following a Tax Event. (a) The Secured Notes shall be redeemed, in whole but not in part, by the Co-Issuers at the written direction, given at least 30 days prior to the proposed Redemption Date (unless the Trustee and the Collateral Manager agree to a shorter notice period), of the Holders of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes delivered to the Co-Issuers and the Trustee (with a copy to the Collateral Manager), on any Business Day (i) on or after the occurrence of a Tax Event from the proceeds of the liquidation of the Assets or (ii) after the Non-Call Period from the proceeds of the liquidation of the Assets and/or from Refinancing Proceeds. In connection with any such redemption, the Secured Notes shall be redeemed at the applicable Redemption Price.

In connection with any Optional Redemption of the Secured Debt, the Collateral Manager shall (unless the Redemption Price on all of the Secured Debt shall be paid with

-183-

Refinancing Proceeds) direct the sale of all or part of the Collateral Obligations and other Assets in an amount sufficient such that the Disposition Proceeds from the sale of Collateral Obligations and other Assets in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.2(d) and all other funds available for such purpose in the Collection Account, the Payment Account (including any Refinancing Proceeds, if applicable) and the Contribution Account shall be at least sufficient to pay the Redemption Price on all of the Secured Debt and to pay all Administrative Expenses (regardless of the Administrative Expense Cap), Aggregate Collateral Management Fees (unless waived) and other amounts, fees and expenses payable or distributable under the Priority of Distributions (including, without limitation, any amounts due to the Hedge Counterparties (if any)). If such Disposition Proceeds, Refinancing Proceeds, if applicable, and all other funds available for such purpose in the Collection Account, the Payment Account and the Contribution Account would not be sufficient to redeem the Secured Debt subject to redemption and to pay such fees and expenses, the Secured Debt may not be redeemed. Subject to Section 12.1(e), the Collateral Manager, in its sole discretion, may effect the sale of all or any part of the Collateral Obligations or other Assets through the direct sale of such Collateral Obligations or other Assets or by participation or other arrangement.

The Subordinated Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, on any Business Day on or after the redemption or repayment of the Secured Debt in full, at the direction of the Holders of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes.

(b) In connection with any Optional Redemption of the Secured Debt after the Non-Call Period, at the written direction of the Holders of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes to the Co-Issuers and the Trustee (with a copy to the Collateral Manager), the Applicable Issuers may enter into a loan or loans or effect an issuance of replacement securities, the terms of which loan or issuance shall be negotiated by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer, from one or more financial institutions or purchasers (a refinancing provided pursuant to such loan or issuance, a "Refinancing") and the Refinancing Proceeds shall be applied to pay the Redemption Price of the Secured Debt on the Redemption Date; provided that (i) the agreements relating to the Refinancing must contain limited recourse and non-petition provisions equivalent (mutatis mutandis) to those contained in Section 5.4(d), (ii) the terms of such Refinancing and any financial institutions acting as lenders thereunder or purchasers thereof must be acceptable to the Holders of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes and the Collateral Manager, (iii) such Refinancing otherwise satisfies the conditions described in Section 9.2(c), and (iv) based on advice of Milbank, Tweed, Xxxxxx & XxXxxx LLP or Dechert LLP, or an Opinion of Counsel of other nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters, the Refinancing will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (unless, at the written direction of the Holders of all of the Subordinated Notes to the Co-Issuers and the Trustee (with a copy to the Collateral Manager), such advice or opinion is not required); provided, further, that any such direction of the Holders of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes shall be deemed to be ineffective if the Collateral Manager certifies in writing to the Co-Issuers that, in the commercially reasonable judgment of the Collateral Manager, based on then-current market conditions, it will not be able to negotiate acceptable terms of such Refinancing that permit satisfaction of the conditions described in Section 9.2(c).

-184-

The Holders of the Subordinated Notes shall not have any cause of action against any of the Co-Issuers, the Collateral Manager or the Trustee for any failure to obtain a Refinancing. In the event that a Refinancing is obtained meeting the requirements specified above as certified by the Collateral Manager, the Co-Issuers and the Trustee (as directed by the Issuer) shall amend this Indenture pursuant to Article VIII to the extent necessary to reflect the terms of the Refinancing and no further consent for such amendments shall be required from the Holders of Obligations, other than the Holders of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes directing the redemption.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Issuer shall not sell any Collateral Obligations or obtain Refinancing in connection with an Optional Redemption unless (i) the Refinancing Proceeds, all Disposition Proceeds from the sale of Collateral Obligations and Eligible Investments in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.2(d) and all other available funds in the Accounts shall be at least sufficient to redeem simultaneously the Secured Debt, in whole but not in part, and to pay the other amounts included in the aggregate Redemption Price and all accrued and unpaid Administrative Expenses (regardless of the Administrative Expense Cap), including the reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Trustee (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with such Refinancing and (ii) the Disposition Proceeds, Refinancing Proceeds and other available funds are used to the extent necessary to make such redemption.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Secured Debt shall not be redeemed pursuant to an Optional Redemption unless (i) in the case of any Optional Redemption which is funded, in whole or in part, from Disposition Proceeds from the sale of Collateral Obligations and other Assets, at least five Business Days before the scheduled Redemption Date the Collateral Manager shall have furnished to the Trustee evidence, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, that the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer has entered into a binding agreement or agreements with a financial or other institution or institutions to purchase (directly or by participation or other arrangement), not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Redemption Date, all or part of the Collateral Obligations and/or the Hedge Agreements, in immediately available funds, at a purchase price at least equal to an amount sufficient, together with the Eligible Investments maturing, redeemable (or putable to the issuer thereof at par) on or prior to the scheduled Redemption Date, any payments to be received in respect of the Hedge Agreements, any Refinancing Proceeds and all other available funds in the Accounts, to pay all Administrative Expenses, Aggregate Collateral Management Fees (unless waived) and other amounts, fees and expenses payable or distributable in accordance with the Priority of Distributions and to redeem all of the Secured Debt on the scheduled Redemption Date at the applicable Redemption Price, or (ii) immediately prior to entering into any Refinancing or selling any Collateral Obligations and/or Eligible Investments, the Collateral Manager shall certify to the Trustee in an Officer's certificate upon which the Trustee can conclusively rely that, in its judgment, the aggregate sum of (A) any expected proceeds from Hedge Agreements and the sale of Eligible Investments, (B) any Refinancing Proceeds and (C) for each Collateral Obligation, the product of its Principal Balance and its Market Value, shall exceed the sum of (x) the aggregate Redemption Prices of the Outstanding Secured Debt and (y) all applicable Administrative Expenses, Aggregate Collateral Management Fees (unless waived) and other amounts, fees and expenses payable or distributable pursuant to the Priority of Distributions; provided that if the Collateral Manager becomes aware of any facts that make such

-185-

Officer's certificate untrue prior to the Optional Redemption, such Optional Redemption shall not take place until a new Officer's certificate meeting the requirements of clause (ii) is delivered. Any certification delivered by the Collateral Manager pursuant to this Section 9.2(d) shall include (1) the prices of, and expected proceeds from, the sale (directly or by participation or other arrangement) of any Collateral Obligations, Eligible Investments and/or Hedge Agreements and (2) all calculations required by this Section 9.2(d).

Section 9.3 Partial Redemption by Refinancing.

Upon written direction of the Holders of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes delivered to the Co-Issuers and the Trustee (with a copy to the Collateral Manager) not later than 30 days prior to the proposed Redemption Date (unless a shorter time period is acceptable to the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager), the Co-Issuers shall redeem one or more Classes of Secured Debt (or in the case of the Class A Debt, one or more sub-Classes thereof) after the Non-Call Period, in whole but not in part with respect to each such Class to be redeemed from Refinancing Proceeds (any such redemption, a "Partial Redemption by Refinancing"); provided that the terms of such Refinancing and any financial institutions acting as lenders thereunder or purchasers thereof must be acceptable to the Holders of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes and to the Collateral Manager and such Refinancing otherwise satisfies the conditions described in the following paragraph; provided, further, that any such direction shall be deemed to be ineffective if the Collateral Manager certifies in writing to the Co-Issuers that, in the commercially reasonable judgment of the Collateral Manager, based on then-current market conditions, it will not be able to negotiate acceptable terms of such Refinancing that permit satisfaction of the conditions described in the following paragraph. For purposes of a Refinancing, the Class A-R Notes, the Class A-T Notes and the Class A-S Notes shall each been deemed to be separate Classes.

The Issuer shall obtain a Refinancing in connection with a Partial Redemption by Refinancing only if (i)(A) the interest rate of the refinancing obligations (as of the date of the Refinancing) does not exceed the interest rate (as of the date of the Refinancing) of the Class of Secured Debt being refinanced and (B) the principal amount of any obligations providing the Refinancing is equal to the principal amount of the Secured Debt being redeemed with the proceeds of such obligations, (ii) on such date of Refinancing, the sum of (A) the Refinancing Proceeds and (B) the amount of Interest Proceeds on deposit in the Interest Collection Account in excess of the aggregate amount of Interest Proceeds which would be paid by application of the Priority of Distributions on such Redemption Date prior to distributions with respect to the Subordinated Notes, shall be in an amount sufficient to pay the Redemption Price with respect to the Class(es) of Secured Debt to be redeemed and, when aggregated with amounts on deposit in the Ongoing Expense Smoothing Account, all accrued and unpaid Administrative Expenses (regardless of the Administrative Expense Cap) incurred in connection with such Refinancing, including the reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Trustee (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with such Refinancing notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7, (iii) the Refinancing Proceeds, the Interest Proceeds described in clause (ii)(B) above, and the amounts on deposit in the Ongoing Expense Smoothing Account are used to make such redemption, (iv) the agreements relating to the Refinancing contain limited recourse and non-petition provisions equivalent (mutatis mutandis) to those contained in Section 5.4(d), (v) the Issuer has provided notice to each Rating Agency (provided, however, in

-186-

the case of S&P, only for so long as any Class A Debt remains Outstanding) with respect to such Partial Redemption by Refinancing, (vi) any new notes created pursuant to the Partial Redemption by Refinancing have (A) the same Maturity as the Obligations Outstanding prior to such Refinancing and (B) the same priority and voting rights as the respective Class of Secured Debt being refinanced, (vii) such Refinancing is done only through the issuance of new notes and not the sale of any Assets, (viii) the Issuer has received an opinion or advice from Milbank, Tweed, Xxxxxx & XxXxxx LLP or Dechert LLP, or an Opinion of Counsel of other tax counsel of nationally recognized standing in the United States experienced in such matters, to the effect that such Refinancing will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and (ix) if the Risk Retention Effective Date has occurred, the Collateral Manager has consented to such Refinancing.

Refinancing Proceeds will not constitute Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds but shall be applied directly on the related Redemption Date pursuant to this Indenture to redeem the Secured Debt being refinanced without regard to the Priority of Distributions; provided that to the extent that any Refinancing Proceeds are not applied to redeem the Secured Debt being refinanced or to pay expenses in connection with the Refinancing, such Refinancing Proceeds shall be treated as Principal Proceeds.

Section 9.4 Redemption Procedures. (a) In the event of an Optional Redemption or a Partial Redemption by Refinancing, the written direction of the Holders of the Subordinated Notes required as set forth herein shall be provided to the Issuer and the Trustee (with a copy to the Collateral Manager) not later than 30 days prior to the Business Day (or such shorter time period agreed to by the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager) on which such redemption is to be made (which date shall be designated in such notice) and a notice of redemption shall be given by the Trustee not later than 15 Business Days prior to the applicable Redemption Date, to each Holder of Obligations to be redeemed. In addition, for so long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and so long as the guidelines of such exchange so require, notice of Optional Redemption to the Holders of such Obligations shall also be sent to the Irish Stock Exchange.

(b) All notices of redemption delivered pursuant to Section 9.4(a) shall state:

(i) the applicable Redemption Date;

(ii) the Redemption Price of the Obligations to be redeemed;

(iii) in the case of an Optional Redemption, that all of the Secured Debt is to be redeemed in full and that interest (and, in the case of the Class A-R Notes, any related Class A-R Commitment Fee) on such Secured Debt shall cease to accrue on the Business Day specified in the notice;

(iv) in the case of a Partial Redemption by Refinancing, the Classes of Secured Debt to be redeemed in full and that interest on such Secured Debt shall cease to accrue on the Business Day specified in the notice;

-187-

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

(vi) in the case of an Optional Redemption, whether the Subordinated Notes are to be redeemed in full on such Redemption Date and, if so, the place or places where the Subordinated Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, which shall be the office or agency of the Co-Issuers to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2 for purposes of surrender.

The Co-Issuers shall have the option to withdraw any such notice of redemption relating to a proposed Optional Redemption up to and including two Business Days before the scheduled Redemption Date.

The Co-Issuers shall have the option to withdraw any such notice of redemption relating to a proposed Partial Redemption by Refinancing up to and including the day that is two Business Days prior to the proposed Redemption Date in the event the conditions applicable to a Partial Redemption by Refinancing set forth herein are not satisfied.

In addition, the Holders of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes shall have the option to withdraw any such notice of Optional Redemption or Partial Redemption by Refinancing up to and including the day that is six Business Days prior to such Redemption Date.

If any notice of redemption is so withdrawn or a redemption of the Secured Debt is otherwise unable to be completed, the Sale Proceeds received from the sale of any Collateral Obligations and other Assets sold pursuant to Section 9.2 may, during the Reinvestment Period at the Collateral Manager's sole discretion, be reinvested in accordance with the Investment Criteria.

Notice of redemption shall be given by the Co-Issuers or, upon an Issuer Order, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Co-Issuers. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Obligation selected for redemption shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Obligations.

Section 9.5 Notes Payable on Redemption Date. (a) Notice of redemption pursuant to Section 9.4 having been given as aforesaid, the Obligations to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, subject to Section 9.2(d) in the case of an Optional Redemption and the Co-Issuers' and Subordinated Note Holders' right to withdraw any notice of redemption pursuant to Section 9.4(b), become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) all such Secured Debt shall cease to bear interest on the Redemption Date. Upon final payment on an Obligation to be so redeemed, the Holder shall present and surrender such Obligation 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 Co-Issuers and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by any of them to save such party harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such Obligation, then, in the absence of notice to the Co-

-188-

Issuers or the Trustee that the applicable Obligation has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. Payments of interest on Secured Debt so to be redeemed whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Secured Debt, or one or more predecessor Obligations, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to the terms and provisions of Section 2.8(e).

(b) If any Secured Debt 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 Debt Interest Rate for each successive Interest Accrual Period the Secured Debt remains Outstanding; provided that the reason for such non-payment is not the fault of such Holder.

Section 9.6 Special Redemption. Principal payments on the Secured Debt shall be made in part in accordance with the Priority of Distributions on any Distribution Date (i) during the Reinvestment Period at the direction of the Collateral Manager, if the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion notifies the Trustee that it has been unable, for a period of at least 30 consecutive Business Days, to identify additional Collateral Obligations that are deemed appropriate by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion and which would meet the Investment Criteria in sufficient amounts to permit the investment or reinvestment of all or a portion of the funds then in the Collection Account that are to be invested in additional Collateral Obligations, (ii) after the Ramp-Up Period, if the Collateral Manager notifies the Trustee that a redemption is required pursuant to Section 7.17 in order to obtain from each Rating Agency a confirmation of its Initial Ratings of each Class of the Secured Debt that it rated (or, to the extent a Xxxxx'x Effective Date Deemed Rating Confirmation has occurred, written confirmation from S&P of its Initial Ratings of the Class A Debt) or (iii) following the failure of the Retention Provider to satisfy the Retention Requirement that remains unremedied for 10 consecutive Business Days, to the extent necessary for the Retained Interest held by the Retention Provider to be sufficient so as to satisfy the Retention Requirement (in each case, a "Special Redemption"). On the first Distribution Date following the Collection Period in which such notice is given (a "Special Redemption Date"), the amount in the Collection Account representing (1) Principal Proceeds which the Collateral Manager has determined cannot be reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations or (2) Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds that must be applied to redeem the Secured Debt in order to (a) obtain from each Rating Agency confirmation of its Initial Ratings of each Class of the Secured Debt that it rated (or, to the extent a Xxxxx'x Effective Date Deemed Rating Confirmation has occurred, written confirmation from S&P of its Initial Ratings of the Class A Debt) or (b) satisfy the Retention Requirement (such amount, a "Special Redemption Amount"), as the case may be, shall be applied in accordance with the Priority of Distributions under Section 11.1(a)(ii). Notice of payments pursuant to this Section 9.6 shall be given by the Trustee either by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any case not less than three Business Days prior to the applicable Special Redemption Date (provided that such notice shall not be required in connection with a Special Redemption pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of such term if the Special Redemption Amount is not known on or prior to such date) to each Holder of Secured Debt affected thereby at such Holder's address in the Register and to both Rating Agencies or by facsimile or via email transmission to such parties. In addition, for so long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and so long as the guidelines of such exchange so require,

-189-

notice of Special Redemption to the Holders of such Notes shall also be sent to the Irish Stock Exchange.

The Trustee shall segregate and hold all such Money and property received by it in trust for the Holders of the Notes and shall apply it as provided in this Indenture.

Section 10.2 Collection Accounts. (a) The Trustee shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Custodian two segregated, securities accounts, each held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, one of which shall be designated the "Interest Collection Account" and the other of which shall be designated the "Principal Collection Account," each of which shall be maintained by the Issuer with the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. The Trustee shall from time to time deposit into the Interest Collection Account, in addition to the deposits required pursuant to Section 10.6(a), immediately upon receipt thereof (i) any funds in the Interest Reserve Account deemed by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion to be Interest Proceeds pursuant to Section 10.3(f) and (ii) all Interest Proceeds (unless simultaneously reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations in accordance with Article XII or in Eligible Investments) received by the Trustee. The Trustee shall deposit immediately upon receipt thereof all other amounts remitted to the Collection Account into the Principal Collection Account, including in addition to the deposits required pursuant to Section 10.6(a), (i) any funds in the Interest Reserve Account deemed by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion to be Principal Proceeds pursuant to Section 10.3(f), (ii) all Principal Proceeds (unless simultaneously reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations in accordance with Article XII or in Eligible Investments) received by the Trustee, and (iii) all other funds received by the Trustee. In addition, the Issuer may, but under no circumstances shall be required to, deposit from time to time such Monies in the Collection Account as it deems, in its sole discretion, to be advisable and to designate them as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds. All Monies deposited from time to time in the Collection Account pursuant to this Indenture shall be held by the Trustee as part of the Assets and shall be applied to the purposes herein provided. Subject to Section 10.2(d), amounts in the Collection Account shall be reinvested pursuant to Section 10.6(a).

(b) The Trustee, within one Business Day after receipt of any distribution or other proceeds in respect of the Assets which are not Cash, shall so notify or cause the Issuer to be notified and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, within five Business Days of receipt of such notice from the Trustee (or as soon as practicable thereafter), sell such distribution or other proceeds for Cash in an arm's length transaction to a Person which is not the Collateral Manager or an Affiliate of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager and deposit the proceeds thereof in the Collection Account; provided, however, that the Issuer (i) need not sell

-190-

such distributions or other proceeds if it delivers an Officer's certificate to the Trustee certifying that such distributions or other proceeds constitute Collateral Obligations, Equity Securities or Eligible Investments or (ii) may otherwise retain such distribution or other proceeds for up to two years from the date of receipt thereof if it delivers an Officer's certificate to the Trustee certifying that (x) it shall sell such distribution within such two-year period and (y) retaining such distribution is not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.

(c) At any time when reinvestment is permitted pursuant to Article XII, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may direct the Trustee to, and upon receipt of such direction the Trustee shall, withdraw Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Principal Collection Account (or any subaccount thereof) designated in such direction (including Principal Financed Accrued Interest used to pay for accrued interest on an additional Collateral Obligation) and reinvest (or invest, in the case of funds referred to in Section 7.17) such funds in additional Collateral Obligations, in each case in accordance with the requirements of Article XII and such direction. At any time, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may direct the Trustee to, and upon receipt of such direction the Trustee shall, withdraw Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Principal Collection Account (or any subaccount thereof) designated in such direction and use such funds to meet funding requirements on Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations or Revolving Collateral Obligations.

(d) The Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may direct the Trustee to, and upon receipt of such direction the Trustee shall, pay from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on any Business Day during any Interest Accrual Period (i) any amount required to exercise a warrant held in the Assets or right to acquire securities in accordance with the requirements of Article XII and such direction and (ii) from Interest Proceeds only, any Administrative Expenses (paid in the order of priority set forth in the definition thereof); provided that the aggregate Administrative Expenses paid pursuant to this Section 10.2(d) during any Collection Period shall not exceed the Administrative Expense Cap for the related Distribution Date; provided that the Trustee shall be entitled (but not required) without liability on its part, to refrain from making any such payment of an Administrative Expense on any day other than a Distribution Date if, in its reasonable determination, taking into account the Priority of Distributions, the payment of such amounts is likely to leave insufficient funds available to pay in full each of the items payable prior thereto in the Priority of Distributions on the next succeeding Distribution Date.

(e) The Trustee shall transfer to the Payment Account as applicable, from the Collection Account, for application pursuant to Section 11.1(a) of this Indenture, on or not later than the Business Day preceding each Distribution Date, the amount set forth to be so transferred in the Distribution Report for such Distribution Date.

(f) The Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may direct the Trustee to, and upon receipt of such direction the Trustee shall, transfer from amounts on deposit in the Interest Collection Account on any Business Day during any Interest Accrual Period to the Principal Collection Account, amounts necessary for application pursuant to Section 7.17(d).

(a) Payment Account. The Trustee shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Custodian a segregated, securities account which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated as the "Payment Account", which shall be maintained by the Issuer with the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. Except as provided in Section 11.1(a), the only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Payment Account shall be to pay amounts due and payable or distributable on the Obligations in accordance with their terms and the provisions of this Indenture and to pay Administrative Expenses and other amounts specified herein, each in accordance with the Priority of Distributions. The Co-Issuers shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Payment Account other than in accordance with the Priority of Distributions. Funds in the Payment Account shall not be invested.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Custodial Account. The Trustee shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Custodian a segregated, securities account which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated as the "Custodial Account", which shall be maintained by the Issuer with the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. The Trustee shall immediately upon receipt deposit all Collateral Obligations into the Custodial Account. The only permitted withdrawals from the Custodial Account shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. Any funds in the Custodial Account shall not be invested. The Co-Issuers shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Custodial Account other than in accordance with this Indenture and the Priority of Distributions.

(d) Ramp-Up Account. The Trustee shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Custodian a single, segregated, securities account which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated as the "Ramp-Up Account", which shall be maintained by the Issuer with the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. The Issuer shall direct the Trustee to deposit the amount specified in Section 3.1(a)(xiv) into the Ramp-Up Account on the Closing Date. In connection with any purchase of an additional Collateral Obligation, the Trustee shall apply amounts held in the Ramp-Up Account as provided by Section 7.17(b). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (and excluding any proceeds that shall be used to settle binding commitments entered into prior to that date), the Trustee shall deposit any remaining amounts in the Ramp-Up Account into the Collection Account as Principal Proceeds. On the first Determination Date after the end of the Ramp-Up Period (and excluding any proceeds that will be used to settle binding commitments entered into prior to that date) on which no Xxxxx'x Ramp-Up Failure or S&P Rating Failure has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall deposit any amounts remaining in the Ramp-Up Account into the Collection Account as Principal Proceeds and the Ramp-Up Account will be closed. Any income earned on amounts

-192-

deposited in the Ramp-Up Account shall be deposited in the Collection Account as Interest Proceeds.

(e) Expense Reserve Account. The Trustee shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Custodian a segregated, securities account which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated as the "Expense Reserve Account", which shall be maintained by the Issuer with the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. The Issuer shall direct the Trustee to deposit into the Expense Reserve Account (i) on the Closing Date, the amount specified in Section 3.1(a)(xiv) and (ii) in connection with any additional issuance of obligations, the amount specified in Section 3.2(a)(xi). The Trustee shall apply funds from the Expense Reserve Account, in the amounts and as directed by the Collateral Manager, to pay (x) amounts due in respect of actions taken on or before the Closing Date and (y) subject to the Administrative Expense Cap, Administrative Expenses in the order of priority contained in the definition thereof; provided that the Trustee shall be entitled (but not required) without liability on its part, to refrain from making any such payment of an Administrative Expense on any day other than a Distribution Date if, in its reasonable determination, taking into account the Priority of Distributions, the payment of such amounts is likely to leave insufficient funds available to pay in full each of the items payable prior thereto in the Priority of Distributions on the next succeeding Distribution Date. Any income earned on amounts on deposit in the Expense Reserve Account shall be deposited in the Interest Collection Account as Interest Proceeds as it is paid. By the Determination Date relating to the second Distribution Date following the Closing Date, all funds in the Expense Reserve Account (after deducting any expenses paid on such Determination Date) shall be deposited in the Collection Account as Interest Proceeds and/or Principal Proceeds (in the respective amounts directed by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion).

(f) Interest Reserve Account. The Trustee shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Custodian a segregated, securities account which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated as the "Interest Reserve Account", which shall be maintained by the Issuer with the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. On the Closing Date, the Issuer will direct the Trustee to deposit from proceeds of the sale of the Obligations to the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the Interest Reserve Amount. On any date prior to the first and/or second Determination Date, the Issuer, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, may direct that all or any portion of the Interest Reserve Amount may be applied as Interest Proceeds on the related Distribution Date in accordance with the Priority of Distributions. Amounts remaining in the Interest Reserve Account after the second Distribution Date will be transferred to the Collection Account as Interest Proceeds and/or Principal Proceeds (in the respective amounts directed by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion).

(g) Contribution Account. The Trustee shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Custodian a single, segregated, securities account which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated as the "Contribution Account" (the "Contribution Account"), which shall be maintained by the Issuer with the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. At any time during or after the Reinvestment Period, any Holder of Subordinated

-193-

Notes may (i) make a contribution of Cash or (ii) by notice to the Collateral Manager and the Trustee no later than four Business Days prior to the applicable Distribution Date, designate any portion of Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds that would otherwise be distributed on such Subordinated Notes in accordance with the Priority of Distributions, for contribution to the Issuer (each, a "Contribution" and each such Holder, a "Contributor"). The Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, may accept or reject any Contribution in its reasonable discretion and shall notify the Trustee of any such acceptance; provided that in the case of clause (ii) of the definition of "Contribution," such notice must be provided no later than two Business Days prior to the applicable Distribution Date. Each accepted Contribution shall be received into the Contribution Account. If a Contribution is accepted, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, shall apply such Contribution to a Permitted Use as directed by the Contributor at the time such Contribution is made or, if no direction is given by the Contributor, at the Collateral Manager's reasonable discretion. No Contribution or portion thereof shall be returned to the Contributor at any time (other than by operation of the Priority of Distributions). Any income earned on amounts deposited in the Contribution Account shall be deposited in the Interest Collection Account as Interest Proceeds. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts deposited into the Contribution Account pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of "Contribution" shall be deemed for all purposes as having been paid to the Contributor pursuant to the Priority of Distributions.

(h) Ongoing Expense Smoothing Account. The Trustee shall, prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Custodian a single, segregated, securities account which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties which shall be designated as the "Ongoing Expense Smoothing Account" (the "Ongoing Expense Smoothing Account"). The Trustee shall transfer funds to the Ongoing Expense Smoothing Account, in the amounts and as directed by the Collateral Manager, on each Distribution Date as described under Section 11.1(a)(i). The Trustee shall apply funds from the Ongoing Expense Smoothing Account, in the amounts and as directed by the Collateral Manager, to pay Administrative Expenses in the order of priority contained in the definition thereof on or between Distribution Dates (without regard to the Administrative Expense Cap) including without limitation, Administrative Expenses incurred in connection with a Partial Redemption by Refinancing. Any income earned on amounts on deposit in the Ongoing Expense Smoothing Account shall be deposited in the Interest Collection Account as Interest Proceeds as it is paid.

(i) Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Account. The Trustee shall establish at the Custodian a single, segregated, securities account which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder, which shall be designated as the "Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Account" (the "Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Account") which shall be maintained by the Issuer with the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. If any Holder of a Class A-R Note shall at any time be required to fund its share of the Aggregate Undrawn Amount due to such Holder failing to satisfy the Rating Requirement, then (x) the Trustee shall create a segregated subaccount of the Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Account with respect to such Holder (each such account, a "Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount") and (y) the Trustee shall deposit all funds received from such Holder into such Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount. Each Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Party that has funded such Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount.

-194-

With respect to any Holder of a Class A-R Note, the deposit of any funds in the applicable Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount by such Holder shall constitute a Borrowing by the Issuer and shall constitute a utilization of the Class A-R Commitment of such Holder, and the funds so deposited shall constitute principal outstanding under the Class A-R Notes and shall accrue interest at the applicable Class A-R Note Interest Rate. From and after the establishment of a Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount, the Trustee (at the direction of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, on the Issuer's behalf) may withdraw funds from such Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount in the amount of such Holder's pro rata share of a Borrowing Request and apply such funds in accordance with this Indenture and the Class A-R Note Purchase Agreement. In the event funds are withdrawn from a Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount pursuant to the previous sentence, the Issuer shall give notice thereof to the applicable Holder. Until a Holder of a Class A-R Note again satisfies the Rating Requirement, or transfers the Class A-R Note to another Holder that does satisfy the Rating Requirement, all payments of principal from the Issuer with respect to advances made by such Holder (whether or not originally funded from such Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount) shall be made by depositing the related funds into such Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount and all other payments from the Issuer (including without limitation all interest and Class A-R Commitment Fees) shall be made to such Holder in accordance with the order specified in the Priority of Distributions. The Trustee shall have full power and authority to withdraw funds from each such Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount at the time of, and in connection with, the making of any such Borrowing.

In the event a Holder with funds in a Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount again satisfies the Rating Requirement or transfers the Class A-R Note to a transferee who satisfies the Rating Requirement, such Holder shall provide notice thereof to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager. Following receipt of such notice, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, the Trustee shall promptly repay any portion of the Borrowing then held in such Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Subaccount, along with any interest accumulated up to that date, to the Holder.

Section 10.4 The Revolver Funding Account. Upon the purchase of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation, the Collateral Manager will notify the Trustee of such purchase. If, after giving effect to such purchase (or at any other time), the Exposure Amount exceeds the Aggregate Undrawn Amount, the Trustee will deposit funds from the Ramp-Up Account or from the Principal Collection Account (as directed by the Collateral Manager) in a single, segregated, securities account maintained by the Issuer with the Custodian (the "Revolver Funding Account") subject to the lien of this Indenture for the benefit of the Secured Parties, such that the Exposure Amount is equal to the sum of (i) the amount on deposit in the Revolver Funding Account plus (ii) the Aggregate Undrawn Amount (the "Revolver Funding Requirement"). In addition, the Trustee will deposit funds in the Revolver Funding Account upon the receipt by the Issuer of any Principal Proceeds with respect to a Revolving Collateral Obligation to the extent not used to prepay the Class A Debt as provided under the Class A Principal Allocation Formula or Section 3.4(b). Any funds deposited in the Revolver Funding Account in respect of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation shall be treated as part of the purchase price therefor. Amounts on deposit in the Revolver Funding Account shall be invested in overnight funds that are Eligible

-195-

Investments selected by the Collateral Manager and earnings from all such investments shall be deposited in the Interest Collection Account as Interest Proceeds.

Any funds in the Revolver Funding Account (other than earnings from Eligible Investments therein) shall be available solely to cover any drawdowns on the Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations and Revolving Collateral Obligations, except as provided in the next sentence. (a) Upon the sale or maturity of a Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation, (b) upon the occurrence of an event of default with respect to any such Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation or any other event or circumstance which results in the irrevocable reduction of the undrawn commitments under such Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation, (c) during the Reinvestment Period, upon the Collateral Manager's determination to apply funds in the Revolver Funding Account to make a Class A-R Prepayment or (d) if the Collateral Manager otherwise determines that there are funds in the Revolver Funding Account in an amount that is in excess of the amount needed to satisfy the Revolver Funding Requirement (the occurrence of which the Collateral Manager shall notify the Trustee), in each case any such excess amounts on deposit in the Revolver Funding Account which can be released without causing a Commitment Shortfall shall be transferred by the Trustee (at the direction of the Collateral Manager) as Principal Proceeds to the Principal Collection Account or, during the Reinvestment Period, applied to make a Class A-R Prepayment (subject to other terms described under Section 3.4).

Section 10.5 Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account. If and to the extent that any Hedge Agreement is entered into by the Issuer if so permitted under this Indenture and such Hedge Agreement requires the Hedge Counterparty to post collateral with respect to such Hedge Agreement, the Issuer shall (at the direction of the Collateral Manager), on or prior to the date such Hedge Agreement is entered into, direct the Trustee to establish in the name of the Trustee a segregated, securities account which shall be designated as a Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account (each, a "Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account"). The Trustee (as directed by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall deposit into each Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account all collateral required to be posted by a Hedge Counterparty and all other funds and property required by the terms of any Hedge Agreement to be deposited into the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account, in accordance with the terms of the related Hedge Agreement. The only permitted withdrawals from or application of funds or property on deposit in the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account shall be in accordance with the written instructions of the Collateral Manager.

Section 10.6 Reinvestment of Funds in Accounts; Reports by Trustee. (a) By Issuer Order (which may be in the form of standing instructions), the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall at all times direct the Trustee to, and, upon receipt of such Issuer Order, the Trustee shall, invest all funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Ramp-Up Account, the Revolver Funding Account, the Expense Reserve Account, the Reserve Account, the Contribution Account, the Ongoing Expense Smoothing Account and the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account as so directed in Eligible Investments having Stated Maturities no later than the Business Day preceding the next Quarterly Distribution Date (or such shorter maturities expressly provided herein). If prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Issuer shall not have given any such investment directions, the Trustee shall seek instructions

-196-

from the Collateral Manager within three Business Days after transfer of any funds to such accounts. If the Trustee does not thereafter receive written instructions from the Collateral Manager within five Business Days after transfer of such funds to such accounts, it shall invest and reinvest the funds held in such accounts, as fully as practicable, in an investment vehicle (which shall be an Eligible Investment) designated as such by the Collateral Manager to the Trustee in writing on or before the Closing Date, (such investment, until and as it may be changed from time to time as hereinafter provided, the "Standby Directed Investment"), until investment instruction as provided in the preceding sentence is received by the Trustee; or, if the Trustee from time to time receives a standing written instruction from the Collateral Manager expressly stating that it is changing the "Standby Directed Investment" under this Section 10.6(a), the Standby Directed Investment may thereby be changed to an Eligible Investment of the type described in clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible Investments" maturing no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Distribution Date (or such shorter maturities expressly provided herein) as designated in such instruction. After an Event of Default, the Trustee shall invest and reinvest such Monies as fully as practicable in the Standby Directed Investment. Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise herein, all interest and other income from such investments shall be deposited in the Interest Collection Account, any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the Principal Collection Account upon receipt, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Principal Collection Account. The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency of such accounts which results from any loss relating to any such investment; provided that the foregoing shall not relieve the Bank of its obligations under any security or obligation issued by the Bank or any Affiliate thereof. Funds held in the Class A-R Rating Requirement Funding Account shall be invested in accordance with Section 3.07(b)(iii) of the Class A-R Note Purchase Agreement.

(b) The Trustee agrees to give the Issuer immediate notice if any Account or any funds on deposit in any Account, or otherwise to the credit of an Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. All Accounts shall remain at all times with the Trustee or a financial institution (i) having a long-term debt rating of at least equal to "A2" or a short-term debt rating of at least "P-1" by Moody's and having combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$200,000,000 and (ii) (x) that is a federal or state-chartered depository institution that has (A) a long-term debt rating of at least "A" and a short-term debt rating of at least "A-1" by S&P (or a long-term debt rating of at least "A+" by S&P if such institution has no short-term rating) and (B) a long-term debt rating of at least "A1" and a short-term debt rating of at least "P-1" by Moody's or (y) in segregated trust accounts with the corporate trust department of a federal or state-chartered deposit institution subject to regulations regarding fiduciary funds on deposit similar to Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulation Section 9.10(b) that has (A) in the case of accounts that may not hold cash, (1) a long-term debt rating of at least "BBB" by S&P and (2) a long-term debt rating of at least "Baa3" by Moody's or (B) in the case of accounts holding Cash, a long-term debt rating at least equal to "A2" or a short-term debt rating of "P-1" by Moody's. In addition, if such institution's rating falls below the above required Moody's and S&P ratings, the assets held in such Account shall be moved within 30 calendar days to another institution that is able to satisfy such ratings.

(c) The Trustee shall supply, in a timely fashion, to the Co-Issuers, the Collateral Manager, each Rating Agency and, upon the direction of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, the Retention Provider any information regularly maintained by the Trustee that the

-197-

Co-Issuers, the Rating Agencies or the Collateral Manager may from time to time request in writing with respect to the Pledged Obligations, the Accounts and the other Assets and provide any other requested information reasonably available to the Trustee by reason of its acting as Trustee hereunder and required to be provided by Section 10.7, to permit the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations under the Collateral Management Agreement or to permit the Retention Provider to perform obligations relating to the Retention Requirement. The Trustee shall promptly forward to the Collateral Manager copies of notices and other writings received by it from the issuer of any Collateral Obligation or from any Clearing Agency with respect to any Collateral Obligation which notices or writings advise the Holders of such security of any rights that the Holders might have with respect thereto (including, without limitation, requests to vote with respect to amendments or waivers and notices of prepayments and redemptions) as well as all periodic financial reports, and other communications received from such issuer and Clearing Agencies with respect to such issuer.

(d) For all U.S. federal tax reporting purposes, all income earned on the funds invested and allocable to the Accounts is legally owned by the Issuer (and beneficially owned by such Issuer or the equity owner or owners of such entity as documented in the IRS forms and other documentation described below). The Issuer is required to provide to the Bank, in its capacity as Trustee, (i) an IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 no later than the date hereof and (ii) any additional IRS forms (or updated versions of any previously submitted IRS forms) or other documentation at such time or times required by applicable law or upon the reasonable request of the Trustee as may be necessary to (A) reduce or eliminate the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes and (B) permit the Trustee to fulfill its tax reporting obligations under applicable law with respect to the Accounts or any amounts paid to the Issuer. The Issuer is further required to report to the Trustee comparable information upon any change in the legal or beneficial ownership of the income allocable to the Accounts. The Bank, both in its individual capacity and in its capacity as Trustee, shall have no liability to the Issuer or any other person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid or retained for payment to a governmental authority from the Accounts arising from the Issuer's failure to timely provide an accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W-9, an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, no funds shall be invested with respect to such Accounts absent the Trustee having first received (x) instructions with respect to the investment of such funds and (y) the forms and other documentation required by this paragraph.

Section 10.7 Accountings.

(a) Monthly. Not later than the 13th day of each calendar month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), excluding each month in which a Distribution Date occurs, commencing on the first such date occurring after distribution of the Moody's Effective Date Report, the Issuer shall compile and make available (or cause to be compiled and made available) (including, at the election of the Issuer, via appropriate electronic means) to each Rating Agency, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager and the Placement Agent and, upon written request therefor, to any Holder shown on the Register and, upon written notice to the Trustee substantially in the form of Exhibit C, any beneficial owner of a Note, a monthly report (each a "Monthly Report") determined as of the close of business on the third day of such month.

ARTICLE XII

SALE OF COLLATERAL OBLIGATIONS;
PURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL OBLIGATIONS

Section 12.1 Sales of Collateral Obligations. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 12.3 and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is

-215-

continuing (except for sales pursuant to Sections 12.1(a), (b), (c), (d), (f) or (h), unless the Obligations have been accelerated following an Event of Default and such acceleration has not been rescinded in accordance with Section 5.2), the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may in writing direct the Trustee to sell and the Trustee (on behalf of the Issuer) shall sell in the manner directed by the Collateral Manager any Collateral Obligation or Equity Security if, as certified by the Collateral Manager (the delivery to the Trustee of a trade ticket for such Collateral Obligation or Equity Security by the Collateral Manager shall constitute such certification), to the best of its knowledge, such sale meets the requirements of any one of paragraphs (a) through (h) of this Section 12.1. For purposes of this Section 12.1, the Sale Proceeds of a Collateral Obligation sold by the Issuer shall include any Principal Financed Accrued Interest received in respect of such sale.

(a) Credit Risk Obligations. The Collateral Manager may direct the Trustee to sell any Credit Risk Obligation at any time during or after the Reinvestment Period without restriction.

(b) Credit Improved Obligations. The Collateral Manager may direct the Trustee to sell any Credit Improved Obligation either:

(i) at any time if (A) the Sale Proceeds from such sale are at least equal to the outstanding principal balance (or, in the case of any Discount Obligation, the purchase price, excluding accrued interest, expressed as a percentage of par and multiplied by the outstanding principal balance thereof) of such Credit Improved Obligation or (B) after giving effect to such sale, the Adjusted Collateral Principal Amount (excluding the Collateral Obligation being sold but including, without duplication, the anticipated net proceeds of such sale) will be greater than the Reinvestment Target Par Balance; or

(ii) solely during the Reinvestment Period, if the Collateral Manager reasonably believes prior to such sale that either (A) after giving effect to such sale and subsequent reinvestment, the Adjusted Collateral Principal Amount (excluding the Collateral Obligation being sold but including, without duplication, the Collateral Obligation being purchased and the anticipated cash proceeds, if any, of such sale that are not applied to the purchase of such additional Collateral Obligation) will be greater than or equal to the Reinvestment Target Par Balance, or (B) it will be able to enter into binding commitments to reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds of such sale, in compliance with the Investment Criteria, in one or more additional Collateral Obligations with an aggregate outstanding principal balance at least equal to the outstanding principal balance (or, in the case of any Discount Obligation, the purchase price, excluding accrued interest, expressed as a percentage of par and multiplied by the outstanding principal balance thereof) of such Credit Improved Obligation within 20 Business Days of such sale;

(c) Defaulted Obligations. The Collateral Manager may direct the Trustee to sell any Defaulted Obligation at any time during or after the Reinvestment Period without restriction.

-216-

(d) Equity Securities. The Collateral Manager may direct the Trustee to sell any Equity Security or any asset held by an Issuer Subsidiary at any time during or after the Reinvestment Period without restriction.

(e) Stated Maturity; Optional Redemption or Redemption following a Tax Event. After the Issuer has notified the Trustee of an Optional Redemption of the Secured Debt in whole (unless such Optional Redemption is funded solely with Refinancing Proceeds) or an Optional Redemption of the Subordinated Notes in accordance with Section 9.2, the Collateral Manager shall direct the Trustee to sell (which sale may be through participation or other arrangement) all or a portion of the Collateral Obligations, provided that all of the Collateral Obligations shall be sold in connection with an Optional Redemption of the Subordinated Notes. If any such sale is made through participation, the Issuer shall use reasonable efforts to cause such participations to be converted to assignments within six months of the sale.

(f) So long as any Secured Debt is Outstanding, the Collateral Manager shall direct the Trustee to sell (which sale may be through participation or other arrangement) the Collateral Obligations such that the sale of all of the Collateral Obligations will have been effected in order to repay the Secured Debt prior to its Stated Maturity; provided that, the Issuer shall not sell a Collateral Obligation to the Retention Provider (directly or through the Collateral Manager) except as provided in Section 12.5.

(g) Discretionary Sales. The Collateral Manager may direct the Trustee to sell any Collateral Obligation (other than one being sold pursuant to clauses (a) through (f) above or clause (h) below) (each such sale, a "Discretionary Sale") at any time other than during a Restricted Trading Period if:

(i) (A) after giving effect to such sale, the Aggregate Principal Balance of all Collateral Obligations sold as described in this paragraph (g) during the preceding period of 12 calendar months (or, for the first 12 calendar months after the Closing Date, during the period commencing on the Closing Date) is not greater than 30% of the Collateral Principal Amount as of the Determination Date immediately preceding the first day of such 12 calendar month period (or as of the Closing Date, as the case may be) and (B) if such Collateral Obligation is to be sold to the Collateral Manager, an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager or an Affiliate of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager obtains either (x) bids for such Collateral Obligation from three unaffiliated loan market participants (or, if the Collateral Manager is unable to obtain bids from three such participants, then such lesser number of unaffiliated loan market participants from which the Collateral Manager can obtain bids using efforts consistent with the Collateral Manager Standard), or (y) if the Collateral Manager is unable to obtain any bids for such Collateral Obligation from an unaffiliated loan market participant, the value determined as the bid side market value of such Collateral Obligation either (1) as reasonably determined by the Collateral Manager (so long as the Collateral Manager or the Sub-Advisor is a Registered Investment Adviser) consistent with the Collateral Manager Standard, which value shall be certified by the Collateral Manager to the Trustee or (2) as determined by a Valuation obtained by the Collateral Manager with respect thereto, and in either case such Person acquires such Collateral Obligation for a price equal to the value so determined; and

-217-

(ii) either (A) solely during the Reinvestment Period, the Collateral Manager reasonably believes prior to such sale that it will be able to enter into binding commitments to reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds of such sale, together with Eligible Investments constituting Principal Proceeds, in compliance with the Investment Criteria, in one or more additional Collateral Obligations with an aggregate outstanding principal balance at least equal to the outstanding principal balance (or, in the case of any Discount Obligation, the purchase price, excluding accrued interest, expressed as a percentage of par and multiplied by the outstanding principal balance thereof) of such Collateral Obligation within 30 days after such sale; or (B) after giving effect to such sale, the Adjusted Collateral Principal Amount (excluding the Collateral Obligation being sold but including, without duplication, the anticipated net proceeds of such sale) will be greater than or equal to the Reinvestment Target Par Balance.

(h) Mandatory Sales. The Collateral Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell each Pledged Obligation that constitutes Margin Stock not later than 45 days after the later of (x) the date of the Issuer's acquisition thereof and (y) the date such Pledged Obligation became Margin Stock, unless such sale is prohibited by applicable law or contractual restriction, in which case such Margin Stock shall be sold as soon as such sale is permitted by applicable law or such contract, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell any asset held by any Issuer Subsidiary prior to the Stated Maturity.

(i) Affiliated Sales. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, any sale of a Collateral Obligation or an Equity Security to the Collateral Manager, an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager or an Affiliate of the Issuer (other than any sale to the Retention Provider pursuant to Section 12.5(b)) shall be at fair market value determined as follows: the Collateral Manager shall obtain either (x) bids for such Collateral Obligation or Equity Security from three unaffiliated loan market participants (or, if the Collateral Manager is unable to obtain bids from three such participants, then such lesser number of unaffiliated loan market participants from which the Collateral Manager can obtain bids using efforts consistent with the Collateral Manager Standard), or (y) if the Collateral Manager is unable to obtain any bids for such Collateral Obligation or Equity Security from an unaffiliated loan market participant, the value determined as the bid side market value of such Collateral Obligation or Equity Security either (A) as reasonably determined by the Collateral Manager (so long as the Collateral Manager or the Sub-Advisor is a Registered Investment Adviser) consistent with the Collateral Manager Standard, which value shall be certified by the Collateral Manager to the Trustee or (B) as determined by a Valuation obtained by the Collateral Manager with respect thereto, and in either case such Person acquires such Collateral Obligation or Equity Security for a price equal to the value so determined; provided that (x) the Issuer shall not sell a Collateral Obligation to the Retention Provider if the Repurchase and Substitution Limit would be exceeded as a result of such sale and (y) for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 12.1(i) shall be subject to the terms of Section 12.3(a).

Section 12.2 Purchase of Additional Collateral Obligations. On any date during the Reinvestment Period (and only during the Reinvestment Period), the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, may, but shall not be required to, direct the Trustee to invest Principal Proceeds (and accrued interest received with respect to any Collateral Obligation to the extent used to pay for accrued interest on additional Collateral Obligations), proceeds of Additional

-218-

Obligations issued in accordance with Section 2.4, amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account, Principal Financed Accrued Interest, amounts on deposit in the Contribution Account and funds received by the Issuer as a result of a Borrowing, in additional Collateral Obligations, and the Trustee shall invest such proceeds, if, as certified by the Collateral Manager, to the best of its knowledge, each of the conditions specified in this Section 12.2 and Section 12.3 are met (which certification will be deemed to have been made upon the delivery by the Collateral Manager to the Trustee of an Issuer Order or trade confirmation in respect of such purchase).

(a) Investment Criteria. No Collateral Obligation may be purchased unless the Collateral Manager determines each of the following conditions (the "Investment Criteria") is satisfied as of the date it commits on behalf of the Issuer to make such purchase, in each case after giving effect to such purchase and all other sales or purchases previously or simultaneously committed to; provided that, prior to the end of the Ramp-Up Period, the conditions set forth in clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) below need not be satisfied with respect to purchases of Collateral Obligations:

(i) such obligation is a Collateral Obligation and, to the knowledge of the Issuer, will not prevent the Issuer from qualifying for the "loan securitization" exclusion under the Xxxxxxx Rule;

(ii) the Retention Provider, either itself or through related entities (including the Issuer), directly or indirectly, was involved or shall be involved in negotiating the original agreements which created or will create over 50% (measured by total nominal amount) of all of the Collateral Obligations acquired (or committed to be acquired) by the Issuer, such proportion measured on the basis of the nominal value at each respective origination of all of the Collateral Obligations acquired (or committed to be acquired) by the Issuer in aggregate during the term of this Indenture;

(iii) only in relation to any Collateral Obligation to be acquired by the Issuer that will not be acquired from the Retention Provider, the Retention Provider, either itself or through related entities (including the Issuer), directly or indirectly, was involved or shall be involved in negotiating the original agreements which created or will create over 50% (measured by total nominal amount) of all of the Collateral Obligations acquired (or committed to be acquired) by the Issuer, such proportion measured on the basis of the nominal value at each respective origination of all of the Collateral Obligations that are expected to be held by the Issuer following the settlement of any such acquisition;

(iv) each Coverage Test shall be satisfied, or if not satisfied such Coverage Test shall be maintained or improved;

(v) (A) in the case of an additional Collateral Obligation purchased with the proceeds from the sale of a Credit Risk Obligation or a Defaulted Obligation, either (1) the Aggregate Principal Balance of all additional Collateral Obligations purchased with the proceeds from such sale will at least equal the Sale Proceeds from such sale, (2) the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Collateral Obligations and Eligible Investments constituting Principal Proceeds will be maintained or increased (when compared to the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Collateral Obligations immediately prior to such sale)

-219-

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

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

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

With respect to the purchase of any Collateral Obligation the settlement date for which the Collateral Manager reasonably expects will occur after the end of the Reinvestment Period (such Collateral Obligation, the "Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligation"), such Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligation will be treated as having been purchased by the Issuer prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period for purposes of the Investment Criteria, and Principal Proceeds received after the end of the Reinvestment Period may be applied to the payment of the purchase price of such Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligations; provided that the Collateral Manager believes, in its commercially reasonable business judgment, that the settlement date with respect to such purchase will occur within 45 Business Days of the date of the trade ticket or other commitment to purchase such Collateral Obligations. Not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the end of the Reinvestment Period, the Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Trustee a schedule of Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligations and shall certify to the Trustee that either the Available Amount under the Class A-R Notes at the end of the Reinvestment Period or the Principal Proceeds that will be available after the Reinvestment Period (including for this purpose, cash on deposit in the Principal Collection Account as well as any Principal Proceeds that will be received by the Issuer from the sale of Collateral Obligations for which the trade date has already occurred but the settlement date has not yet occurred) will be sufficient to effect the settlement of such Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligations.

-220-

(b) Trading Plan Period. For purposes of calculating compliance with the Investment Criteria, at the election of the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion and with prior notice to the Trustee, any proposed investment (whether a single Collateral Obligation or a group of Collateral Obligations) identified as such in such notice by the Collateral Manager at the time when compliance with the Investment Criteria is required to be calculated (a "Trading Plan") may be evaluated after giving effect to all sales and reinvestments proposed to be entered into within the 10 Business Days following the date of determination of such compliance (such period, the "Trading Plan Period"); provided that (w) no Trading Plan may result in the purchase of Collateral Obligations having an Aggregate Principal Balance that exceeds 5% of the Collateral Principal Amount as of the first day of the Trading Plan Period, (x) no Trading Plan Period may include a Determination Date, (y) no more than one Trading Plan may be in effect at any time during a Trading Plan Period and (z) if the Investment Criteria are satisfied prospectively after giving effect to a Trading Plan but are not satisfied upon the expiry of the related Trading Plan Period, the Investment Criteria shall not at any time thereafter be evaluated by giving effect to a Trading Plan. Notice of any Trading Plan from the Collateral Manager shall include the details of such Trading Plan (including the proposed amendments and/or proposed investments identified by the Collateral Manager for acquisition or entry, as applicable, as part of such Trading Plan).

(c) Certification by Collateral Manager. Upon delivery by the Collateral Manager of an Issuer Order under this Section 12.2, the Collateral Manager shall be deemed to have confirmed to the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator that the purchase directed by such Issuer Order complies with this Section 12.2 and Section 12.3. The Trustee hereby agrees to post any notice received from the Collateral Manager of any Trading Plan entered into by the Issuer and provided to the Trustee by the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 12.2(b) on the Trustee's website within one Business Day of its receipt thereof.

-221-

(h) Originator Fees. In connection with the acquisition by the Issuer of a Collateral Obligation that was originated in the primary market by Fifth Street Senior Floating Rate Corp. (or any other Affiliate of the Issuer) where an origination fee is payable, the Collateral Manager will determine the purchase price of the Collateral Obligation that is the subject of such origination fee in accordance with the Master Transfer Agreement without regard to the origination fee. The Issuer may acquire such Collateral Obligation within 10 days of such origination. The Collateral Manager may elect for the Issuer to pay to Fifth Street Senior Floating Rate Corp. (or another applicable Affiliate) the purchase price (net of the origination fee) of such Collateral Obligation and for the Issuer to deposit the amount equal to the origination fee in the Interest Collection Account.

(a) Any transaction effected under this Article XII shall be conducted on an arm's length basis and, if effected with a Person Affiliated with the Collateral Manager, shall be effected in accordance with the requirements of Section 5 of the Collateral Management Agreement on terms no less favorable to the Issuer than would be the case if such Person were not so Affiliated.

(b) Upon any acquisition of a Collateral Obligation pursuant to this Article XII, all of the Issuer's right, title and interest to the Pledged Obligation or Pledged Obligations shall be Granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, such Pledged Obligations shall be Delivered to the Trustee.

Section 12.4 Restrictions on Amendments, Exchanges and Deemed Acquisitions. The Collateral Manager may not consent to an amendment, exchange or deemed acquisition that would extend the final maturity of a Collateral Obligation unless after giving effect thereto, (i) the final maturity of such Collateral Obligation is not later than the Stated Maturity and (ii) the Weighted Average Life Test will be satisfied.

No later than 10 Business Days after receipt of such information, the Retention Provider may, at its option, by written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee and Moody's, elect to exercise its right to repurchase such Credit Risk Obligation or Defaulted Obligation and, on such date or within five Business Days thereafter, repurchase such Credit Risk Obligation or Defaulted Obligation. Failure by the Retention Provider to exercise such option to repurchase any Credit Risk Obligation or Defaulted Obligation at any time shall not affect the ability of the Retention Provider to exercise such right at a later date with respect to such Credit Risk Obligation or Defaulted Obligation provided the Repurchase Price is redetermined at such later time.

(d) Contemporaneously with the receipt of the Repurchase Price, the Issuer shall sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Retention Provider, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Issuer in, to and under any Credit Risk Obligation or Defaulted Obligation repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 12.5, and the Issuer shall cause the Trustee to release the Lien of this Indenture thereon. The Issuer and, at the written direction of the Issuer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments, consents or other documents and perform all acts reasonably requested by the Collateral Manager in order to

-224-

effect the transfer and release of any of the Issuer's interests in the Collateral Obligations that are being purchased.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, all substitutions and repurchases described above shall be optional on the part of the Retention Provider. If the Retention Provider breaches a representation or warranty with respect to any such Collateral Obligation, the Retention Provider will not be obligated to repurchase such Collateral Obligation or substitute a new Collateral Obligation or otherwise indemnify the Issuer in respect of such Collateral Obligation.

On any Post-Acceleration Distribution Date or on the Stated Maturity, all accrued and unpaid interest on and outstanding principal of each Priority Class shall be paid pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(iii) in full in Cash or, to the extent 100% of the Holders of the Class A Debt, 100% of the Holders of the Class B Debt and a Majority of the Holders of the Class C Notes consent, other than in Cash, before any further payment or distribution is made on account of any Junior Class with respect thereto, to the extent and in the manner provided in Section 11.1(a)(iii).

(c) Each Holder of Obligations of any Junior Class agrees with all Holders of the applicable Priority Classes that such Holder of Junior Class Obligations shall not demand, accept, or receive any payment or distribution in respect of such Obligations in violation of the provisions of this Indenture including, without limitation, this Section 13.1; provided, however, that after all accrued and unpaid interest on and outstanding principal of a Priority Class has been paid in full, the Holders of the related Junior Class or Classes shall be fully subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Priority Class.

Section 13.2 Standard of Conduct. In exercising any of its or their voting rights, rights to direct and consent or any other rights as a Holder under this Indenture, a Holder or Holders shall not have any obligation or duty to any Person or to consider or take into account the interests of any Person and shall not be liable to any Person for any action taken by it or them or at its or their direction or any failure by it or them to act or to direct that an action be taken, without regard to whether such action or inaction benefits or adversely affects any Holder, the Issuer, or any other Person, except for any liability to which such Holder may be subject to the extent the same results from such Holder's taking or directing an action, or failing to take or direct an action, in bad faith or in violation of the express terms of this Indenture.

MISCELLANEOUS

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

Any certificate or opinion of an Officer of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such Officer knows, or should know that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which its certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Officer of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, or the Collateral Manager or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee or any other Person, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee or such other Person, unless such Officer of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager or such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may also be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by an Officer of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer stating that the information with respect to such matters is in the possession of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

-226-

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 either Co-Issuer, then notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to such Co-Issuer's right 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(d).

Section 14.2 Acts of Holders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee 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 Holders" signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Co-Issuers, 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.

The Bank (in each of its capacities) agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture or any other Transaction Document sent by unsecured email, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that any Person providing such instructions or directions shall provide to the Bank an incumbency certificate listing authorized Persons designated to provide such instructions or directions, which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a person is added or deleted from the listing. If such person elects to give the Bank email or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Bank in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Bank's reasonable understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Bank shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Bank's reasonable reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Any person providing such instructions or directions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Bank, including without limitation the risk of the Bank acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties and acknowledges and agrees that there may be more secure methods of transmitting such instructions than the method(s) selected by it and agrees that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of such instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances.

(c) In the event that any provision in this Indenture calls for any notice or document to be delivered simultaneously to the Trustee and any other person or entity, the Trustee's receipt of such notice or document shall entitle the Trustee to assume that such notice or document was delivered to such other person or entity unless otherwise expressly specified herein.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any agreement or document related thereto, any report, statement or other information required to be provided by the Issuer (except information required to be provided to the Irish Stock Exchange), the Trustee may be provided by providing access to a website containing such information.

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

(a) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder

-230-

as it appears in the Register or, as applicable, in accordance with the procedures at DTC, as soon as reasonably practicable but in any case not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice; provided, that, a Holder may give the Trustee a written notice in a form acceptable to the Trustee that it is requesting that, either as an alternative to or in addition to notices by mail as aforementioned, notices to it be given by electronic mail or by facsimile transmission and stating the electronic mail address or facsimile number for such transmission and, thereafter, the Trustee shall give notices to such Holder by electronic mail or facsimile transmission, as so requested; provided further that notices for Holders may also be posted to the Trustee's internet website;

(b) any documents (including reports, notices or supplements indentures) required to be provided by the Trustee to Holders may be delivered by providing notice of, and access to, the Trustee's website containing such documents;

(c) for so long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the guidelines of the Irish Stock Exchange so require, notices to the Holders of such Notes shall also be sent to the Irish Listing Agent for delivery to the Irish Stock Exchange; and

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

Such notices shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such mailing.

Subject to Section 14.14, the Trustee shall deliver to the Holders any information or notice relating to this Indenture requested to be so delivered by at least 25% of the Holders of any Class of Notes (by Aggregate Outstanding Amount), at the expense of the Issuer.

Subject to Section 14.14, the Trustee shall deliver to any Holder of Obligations or any Person that has certified to the Trustee in a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit C to this Indenture that it is the owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note, any information or notice requested to be so delivered by a Holder or a Person that has made such certification that is reasonably available to the Trustee and all related costs will be borne by the requesting Holder or Person.

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

Section 14.9 Legal Holidays. In the event that the date of any Distribution Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity shall not be a Business Day, then notwithstanding any other provision of the Obligations or this Indenture, payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the nominal date of any such Distribution Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity date, as the case may be, and except as provided in the definition of "Interest Accrual Period" no interest shall accrue on such payment for the period from and after any such nominal date.

Section 14.10 Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE AND EACH OBLIGATION AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS INDENTURE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT) BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any action or Proceeding arising out of or relating to the Obligations or this Indenture, and each such party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or Proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or federal court.

Section 14.13 Acts of Issuer. Any report, information, communication, request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or performed by the Issuer shall be effective if given or performed by the Issuer or by the Collateral Manager on the Issuer's behalf.

Section 14.14 Confidential Information. (a) The Trustee, the Collateral Administrator and each Holder of Obligations will maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Person in good faith to protect Confidential Information of third parties delivered to such Person; provided that such Person may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to: (i) such Person's directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 14.14 and to the extent such disclosure is reasonably required for the administration of this Indenture, the matters contemplated hereby or the investment represented by the Obligations; (ii) such Person's legal advisors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 14.14 and to the extent such disclosure is reasonably required for the administration of this Indenture, the matters contemplated hereby or the investment represented by the Obligations; (iii) any other Holder, or any of the other parties to this Indenture, the Collateral Management Agreement or the Collateral Administration Agreement; (iv) any Person of the type that would be, to such Person's knowledge, permitted to acquire Notes in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.5 hereof to which such Person sells or offers to sell any such Obligation or any part thereof; (v) any other Person from which such former Person offers to purchase any obligation of the Issuer; (vi) any federal or state or other regulatory, governmental or judicial authority having jurisdiction over such Person; (vii) the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about the investment portfolio of such Person, reinsurers and liquidity and credit providers that agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 14.14; (viii) Moody's or S&P (subject to Sections 14.16 and 14.17); (ix) any other Person with the consent of the Issuer and the Collateral Manager; or (x) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (A) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Person, (B) in response to any subpoena or other legal process (unless prohibited by applicable law, rule, order or decree or other requirement having the force of law), (C) in connection with any litigation to which such Person is a party (unless prohibited by applicable law, rule, order or decree or other requirement having the force of law), (D) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Person may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under the Obligations, this Indenture or (E) in the Trustee's or Collateral Administrator's performance of its obligations under this Indenture, the Collateral Administration Agreement or other transaction document

-233-

related thereto; and provided that delivery to the Holders by the Trustee or the Collateral Administrator of any report of information required by the terms of this Indenture to be provided to Holders shall not be a violation of this Section 14.15. Each Holder of Obligations will, by its acceptance of its Obligation, be deemed to have agreed, except as set forth in clauses (vi), (vii) and (x) above, that it shall use the Confidential Information for the sole purpose of making an investment in the Obligations or administering its investment in the Obligations; and that the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator shall neither be required nor authorized to disclose to Holders any Confidential Information in violation of this Section 14.15.

In particular, none of the Co-Issuers or any Issuer Subsidiary shall be entitled to petition or take any other steps for the winding up or bankruptcy of the other of the Co-Issuers or any Issuer Subsidiary or shall have any claim in respect to any assets of the other of the Co-Issuers or any Issuer Subsidiary.

Section 14.16 17g-5 Information. (a) The Co-Issuers shall comply with their obligations under Rule 17g-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act ("Rule 17g-5"), by their or their agent's posting on the 17g-5 Website, no later than the time such information (which will not include any reports from the Issuer's Independent accountants) is provided to the Rating Agencies, all information that the Co-Issuers or other parties on their behalf, including the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Manager, provide to the Rating Agencies for the purposes of determining the initial credit rating of the Secured Debt or undertaking credit rating surveillance of the Secured Debt (the "17g-5 Information"); provided, however, that, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Manager, no party other than the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Manager may provide information to the Rating Agencies on the Co-Issuers' behalf. At all times while any Secured Debt is rated by any Rating Agency or any other NRSRO, the Co-Issuers shall engage a third-party to post 17g-5 Information to the 17g-5 Website. On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall engage the Collateral Administrator (in such capacity, the "Information Agent"), to post 17g-5 Information it receives from the Issuer, the Trustee or the Collateral Manager to the 17g-5 Website in accordance with Section 2A of the Collateral Administration Agreement.

To the extent that any of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator or the Trustee is required to provide any information to, or communicate with, any Rating Agency in writing in accordance with its obligations under this Indenture or the Collateral Management Agreement or the Collateral Administration Agreement (as applicable), the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable (or their respective representatives or advisors), shall provide such information or communication to the Information Agent by e-mail at XxxxxXxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx with the subject line specifically referencing "17g-5 Information" and "FS Senior Funding CLO LLC", which information the Information Agent shall promptly post to the 17g-5 Website in accordance with Section 2A of the Collateral Administration Agreement.

-235-

(b) To the extent any of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Manager are engaged in oral communications with any Rating Agency, for the purposes of determining the initial credit rating of the Obligations or undertaking credit rating surveillance of the Obligations, the party communicating with such Rating Agency shall cause such oral communication to either be (x) recorded and an audio file containing the recording to be promptly delivered to the Information Agent for posting to the 17g-5 Website or (y) summarized in writing and the summary to be promptly delivered to the Information Agent for posting to the 17g-5 Website.

(c) Notwithstanding the requirements herein, the Trustee shall have no obligation to engage in or respond to any oral communications, for the purposes of determining the initial credit rating of the Obligations or undertaking credit rating surveillance of the Obligations, with any Rating Agency or any of their respective officers, directors or employees. None of the Trustee, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator or the Information Agent shall have obtained or shall be deemed to have obtained actual knowledge of any information solely due to receipt and posting to the 17g-5 Website.

(d) The Trustee shall not be responsible for maintaining the 17g-5 Website, posting any 17g-5 Information to the 17g-5 Website or assuring that the 17g-5 Website complies with the requirements of this Indenture, Rule 17g-5 or any other law or regulation. In no event shall the Trustee be deemed to make any representation in respect of the content of the 17g-5 Website or compliance of the 17g-5 Website with this Indenture, Rule 17g-5 or any other law or regulation.

The Trustee shall not be liable for the use of any information posted on the 17g-5 Website, whether by the Issuer, the Rating Agencies, the NRSROs or any other third party that may gain access to the 17g-5 Website or the information posted thereon.

(f) Nothwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maintenance by the Information Agent of the website described in Section 10.7(i) shall not be deemed as compliance by or on behalf of the Issuer with Rule 17g-5 or any other law or regulation related thereto.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, a breach of this Section 14.16 shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, no reports of Independent accountants shall be posted to the 17g-5 Website.

Section 14.17 Rating Agency Conditions. (a) Notwithstanding the terms of the Collateral Management Agreement, any Hedge Agreement or other provisions of this Indenture, if any action under the Collateral Management Agreement, any Hedge Agreement or this Indenture requires satisfaction of the Xxxxx'x Rating Condition, the S&P Rating Condition or the Global Rating Agency Condition (each, a "Condition") as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the "Requesting Party") required to obtain satisfaction of such Condition has

-236-

made a request to any Rating Agency for satisfaction of such Condition and, within 10 Business Days of the request for satisfaction of such Condition being posted to the 17g-5 Website, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for satisfaction of such Condition, then such Requesting Party shall be required to confirm that the applicable Rating Agency has received the request, and, if it has, promptly (but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter) request satisfaction of the related Condition again. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each of the Xxxxx'x Rating Condition and the S&P Rating Condition may be inapplicable pursuant to the terms of the respective definition thereof.

(b) Any request for satisfaction of any Condition made by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Indenture, shall be made in writing, which writing shall contain a cover page indicating the nature of the request for satisfaction of such Condition, and shall contain all back-up material necessary for the Rating Agency to process such request. Such written request for satisfaction of such Condition shall be provided in electronic format to the Information Agent for posting on the 17g-5 Website in accordance with Section 14.16 hereof and the Collateral Administration Agreement, and after receiving actual knowledge of such posting (which may be in the form of an automatic email notification of posting delivered by the 17g-5 Website to such party), the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, shall send the request for satisfaction of such Condition to the Rating Agencies in accordance with the delivery instructions set forth in Section 14.3(b).

Section 14.18 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE TRUSTEE, HOLDERS (BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE OF OBLIGATIONS) AND EACH OF THE CO-ISSUERS EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS INDENTURE, THE OBLIGATIONS OR ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF THE TRUSTEE, HOLDERS OR EITHER OF THE CO-ISSUERS. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE TRUSTEE AND THE CO-ISSUERS TO ENTER INTO THIS INDENTURE.

Section 14.19 Escheat.

In the absence of a written request from the Co-Issuers to return unclaimed funds to the Co-Issuers, the Trustee may from time to time following the final Distribution Date with respect to the Obligations deliver all unclaimed funds to or as directed by applicable escheat authorities, as determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion, in accordance with the customary practices and procedures of the Trustee. Any unclaimed funds held by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 14.19 shall be held uninvested and without any liability for interest.

ARTICLE XV

ASSIGNMENT OF Collateral Management AGREEMENT

Section 15.1 Assignment of Collateral Management Agreement. (a) The Issuer hereby acknowledges that its Grant pursuant to the first Granting Clause hereof includes all of the Issuer's estate, right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral Management Agreement, including (i) the right to give all notices, consents and releases thereunder, (ii) the right to give all notices of termination and to take any legal action upon the breach of an obligation of the Collateral Manager thereunder, including the commencement, conduct and consummation of Proceedings at law or in equity, (iii) the right to receive all notices, accountings, consents, releases and statements thereunder and (iv) the right to do any and all other things whatsoever that the Issuer is or may be entitled to do thereunder; provided, however, that except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Indenture, the Trustee shall not have the authority to exercise any of the rights set forth in (i) through (iv) above or that may otherwise arise as a result of the Grant until the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and such authority shall terminate at such time, if any, as such Event of Default is cured or waived.

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

(c) Upon the retirement of the Obligations, the payment of all amounts required to be paid pursuant to the Priority of Distributions and the release of the Assets from the lien of this Indenture, this assignment and all rights herein assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders shall cease and terminate and all the estate, right, title and interest of the Trustee in, to and under the Collateral Management Agreement shall revert to the Issuer and no further instrument or act shall be necessary to evidence such termination and reversion.

(d) The Issuer represents that the Issuer has not executed any other assignment of the Collateral Management Agreement.

(e) The Issuer agrees that this assignment is irrevocable, and that it shall not take any action which is inconsistent with this assignment or make any other assignment inconsistent herewith. The Issuer shall, from time to time, execute all instruments of further assurance and all such supplemental instruments with respect to this assignment as may be necessary to continue and maintain such assignment.

-238-

(f) The Issuer hereby agrees that the Issuer shall not enter into any agreement amending, modifying or terminating the Collateral Management Agreement except in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Management Agreement.

ARTICLE XVI

Hedge Agreements

Section 16.1 Hedge Agreements. (a)  The Issuer may enter into Hedge Agreements from time to time on and after the Closing Date solely for the purpose of managing interest rate and other risks in connection with the Issuer's issuance of, and making payments on, the Obligations. Payments on Hedge Agreements will be subject to the Priority of Distributions. The Issuer shall promptly provide a copy of each Hedge Agreement to the Trustee and each Rating Agency and, in the case of any asset specific Hedge Agreement, request an S&P Recovery Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall not enter into any Hedge Agreement unless the Global Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect thereto. In addition, the Issuer shall not be permitted to enter into or amend hedge agreements unless both:

(i) either (a) the Issuer has obtained the advice of Milbank, Tweed, Xxxxxx & XxXxxx LLP or Dechert LLP or an Opinion of Counsel of other nationally recognized counsel approved by the Placement Agent that entering into such hedge agreement will not cause the Issuer to be considered a "commodity pool" as defined in Section 1a(10) of the CEA, or (b) the Issuer will be operated such that the Collateral Manager and/or such other relevant party to the Transaction, as applicable, will be eligible for an exemption from registration as a CPO and a CTA and all conditions precedent to obtaining such an exemption have been satisfied or (c) if the issuer would be considered a commodity pool, (x) a Majority of the Subordinated Notes will have agreed to such action and (y) the Collateral Manager (or a delegated affiliate) will be the CPO with respect to the Issuer as a commodity pool and the Collateral Manager (or a delegated affiliate) will at all material times be a registered CPO with respect to the Issuer as a commodity pool as required under the CEA; and

(ii) the Issuer has received advice of Milbank, Tweed, Xxxxxx & XxXxxx LLP or Dechert LLP or an Opinion of Counsel of other nationally recognized counsel approved by the Placement Agent that either (a) entering into such hedge agreement will not, in and of itself, cause the Issuer to become a "hedge fund or a private equity fund" as defined for the purposes of Section 13 of the Bank Holding Company Act, as amended, or (b) if the Issuer were to become a "hedge fund or private equity fund," then an exemption would apply enabling a banking entity to sponsor or acquire an ownership interest in the Issuer and to engage in covered transactions with the Issuer, notwithstanding the general prohibitions of such Section 13.

For so long as the Issuer and, if applicable, the Collateral Manager are subject to any of clause (i)(b), clause (i)(c) or clause (ii)(b) above, the Issuer and, if applicable, the Collateral Manager shall take all action necessary to ensure ongoing compliance with the applicable exemption from registration or registration requirement, as applicable, under the CEA

-239-

and/or the Bank Holding Company Act, as applicable. The reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Issuer and the Collateral Manager (including reasonable attorneys', accountants' and other professional fees and expenses) in connection with these requirements shall be paid as Administrative Expenses.

Each Hedge Agreement shall contain appropriate limited recourse and non-petition provisions equivalent (mutatis mutandis) to those contained in Section 2.8(i) and Section 5.4(d). Each Hedge Counterparty shall be required to have, at the time that any Hedge Agreement to which it is a party is entered into, the Required Hedge Counterparty Ratings unless the applicable Condition is satisfied or credit support is provided as set forth in the Hedge Agreement. Payments with respect to Hedge Agreements shall be subject to Article XI. Each Hedge Agreement shall contain an acknowledgement by the Hedge Counterparty that the obligations of the Issuer to the Hedge Counterparty under the relevant Hedge Agreement shall be payable in accordance with Article XI of this Indenture.

(b) In the event of any early termination of a Hedge Agreement with respect to which the Hedge Counterparty is the sole "defaulting party" or "affected party" (each as defined in the Hedge Agreements), (i) any termination payment paid by the Hedge Counterparty to the Issuer may be paid to a replacement Hedge Counterparty at the direction of the Collateral Manager and (ii) any payment received from a replacement Hedge Counterparty may be paid to the replaced Hedge Counterparty at the direction of the Collateral Manager under the terminated Hedge Agreement.

(c) The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall, upon receiving written notice of the exposure calculated under a credit support annex to any Hedge Agreement, if applicable, make a demand to the relevant Hedge Counterparty and its credit support provider, if applicable, for securities having a value under such credit support annex equal to the required credit support amount.

(d) If any Xxxxx'x rating of the Hedge Counterparty (or its guarantor under the Hedge Agreement) no longer meets the Required Hedge Counterparty Rating of Moody's, such Hedge Counterparty must, at its own cost, assign the Hedge Agreement to a Hedge Counterparty within 60 Business Days, and if such assignment has not been accomplished within 10 days, provide Hedge Counterparty Credit Support pending such assignment.

If any S&P rating of the Hedge Counterparty (or its guarantor under the Hedge Agreement) no longer meets the Required Hedge Counterparty Rating of S&P, such Hedge Counterparty must, at its own cost, assign the Hedge Agreement to a Hedge Counterparty within 60 Business Days, and if such assignment has not been accomplished within 10 days, provide Hedge Counterparty Credit Support pending such assignment.

(e) The Issuer shall give prompt notice to each Rating Agency of any termination of a Hedge Agreement or agreement to provide Hedge Counterparty Credit Support. Any collateral received from a Hedge Counterparty under a Hedge Agreement shall be deposited in the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account.

-240-

(f) If a Hedge Counterparty has defaulted in the payment when due of its obligations to the Issuer under the Hedge Agreement, the Collateral Manager shall make a demand on the Hedge Counterparty (or its guarantor under the Hedge Agreement) with a copy to the Collateral Manager, demanding payment by the close of business on such date (or by such time on the next succeeding Business Day if such knowledge is obtained after 11:30 a.m., New York time).

(g) Each Hedge Agreement shall provide that it may not be terminated due to the occurrence of an Event of Default until liquidation of the Collateral has commenced.

DIVERSITY SCORE CALCULATION

The Diversity Score is calculated as follows:

(a) An "Issuer Par Amount" is calculated for each issuer of a Collateral Obligation, and is equal to the Aggregate Principal Balance of all the Collateral Obligations issued by that issuer and all affiliates.

(b) An "Average Par Amount" is calculated by summing the Issuer Par Amounts for all issuers, and dividing by the number of issuers.

(c) An "Equivalent Unit Score" is calculated for each issuer, and is equal to the lesser of (x) one and (y) the Issuer Par Amount for such issuer divided by the Average Par Amount.

(d) An "Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score" is then calculated for each of the Moody's Industry Classifications, shown on Schedule 1, and is equal to the sum of the Equivalent Unit Scores for each issuer in such industry classification group.

(e) An "Industry Diversity Score" is then established for each Moody's Industry Classification, shown on Schedule 1, by reference to the following table for the related Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score; provided, that if any Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score falls between any two such scores, the applicable Industry Diversity Score shall be the lower of the two Industry Diversity Scores:

SCHEDULE 4

XXXXX'X RATING DEFINITIONS

"Moody's Credit Estimate": With respect to any Collateral Obligation as of any date of determination, an estimated credit rating for such Collateral Obligation (or, if such credit estimate is the Xxxxx'x Rating Factor, the credit rating corresponding to such Xxxxx'x Rating Factor) provided or confirmed by Moody's in the previous 15 months; provided that if Moody's has been requested by the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the issuer of such Collateral Obligation to assign or renew an estimate with respect to such Collateral Obligation but such rating estimate has not been received, pending receipt of such estimate, the Xxxxx'x Rating or Moody's Default Probability Rating of such Collateral Obligation shall be (1) "B3" if the Collateral Manager certifies to the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator that the Collateral Manager believes that such estimate shall be at least "B3" and if the Aggregate Principal Balance of Collateral Obligations determined pursuant to this subclause (1) does not exceed 5% of the Collateral Principal Amount of all Collateral Obligations or (2) otherwise, "Caa1" if the Collateral Manager certifies to the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator that the Collateral Manager believes that such estimate shall be at least "Caa1"; provided, further, that if such estimated credit rating was provided between the previous 13 and 15 months, the credit rating shall be downgraded by one rating subcategory; provided, further, that if such estimated credit rating was provided more than 15 months before such date of determination, the Moody's Default Probability Rating of such Collateral Obligation shall be "Caa3". Any Assigned Xxxxx'x Rating that is an estimated rating which has not been obtained within 90 days following a material deterioration determination or a material amendment will be deemed to be "Caa1" pending receipt of such rating.

"Moody's Default Probability Rating": (a) With respect to a Collateral Obligation other than a DIP Collateral Obligation:

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

(ii) if not determined pursuant to clause (i) above, if the senior unsecured debt of the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has a public rating by Moody's (a "Moody's Senior Unsecured Rating"), such Moody's Senior Unsecured Rating;

(iii) if not determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, if the senior secured debt of the Obligor has a public rating by Moody's, the Xxxxx'x rating that is one subcategory lower than such rating;

(iv) if not determined pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Collateral Manager may elect to use (A) a Moody's Credit Estimate or (B) a rating estimated in good faith by the Collateral Manager in accordance with the Moody's RiskCalc Calculation, in each case to determine the Moody's Rating Factor for such Collateral Obligation for purposes of the Moody's Maximum Rating Factor Test; provided that no more than 20% (or such higher percentage as Moody's may

SCH. 4-1

confirm) of the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Collateral Obligations may have Moody's Rating Factors assigned using the Moody's RiskCalc Calculation;

(v) if the Moody's Default Probability Rating is not determined pursuant to clause (i), (ii), or (iii) above (and a Xxxxx'x Rating Factor is not determined pursuant to clause (iv) above), the Moody's Derived Rating, if any; or

(vi) if the Moody's Default Probability Rating is not determined pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (v) above (and a Xxxxx'x Rating Factor is not determined pursuant to clause (iv) above), the Moody's Default Probability Rating will be "Caa3."

(b) With respect to a DIP Collateral Obligation:

(i) the rating which is one subcategory below the facility rating (whether public or private) of such DIP Collateral Obligation rated by Moody's; or

(ii) with respect to any DIP Collateral Obligation if not determined pursuant to clause (i) above, a rating of "Caa1";

provided that, for purposes of calculating a Moody's Weighted Average Rating Factor, the Moody's Default Probability Rating shall be determined in the following manner: each applicable rating on credit watch by Moody's that is on (x) positive watch will be treated as having been upgraded by one rating subcategory, (y) negative watch will be treated as having been downgraded by two rating subcategories and (z) negative outlook will be treated as having been downgraded by one rating subcategory. For purposes of determining a Moody's Default Probability Rating, if an Obligor does not have a Moody's corporate family rating and any entity in such Obligor's corporate family has a Moody's corporate family rating, the Moody's corporate family rating from Moody's of such entity will be deemed to be the Moody's corporate family rating of the Obligor.

"Moody's Derived Rating": With respect to a Collateral Obligation, the Xxxxx'x Rating or the Moody's Default Probability Rating determined in the manner set forth below.

(a) If another obligation of the Obligor is rated by Moody's, by adjusting the rating of the related Moody's rated obligations of the related Obligor by the number of rating subcategories according to the table below:

SCH. 4-2

Obligation Category of Rated Obligation	Rating of Rated Obligation	Number of Subcategories Relative to Rated Obligation Rating
Senior secured obligation	greater than or equal to X0	-0
Senior secured obligation	less than B2	-2
Subordinated obligation	greater than or equal to B3	+1
Subordinated obligation	less than B3	0

(b) If not determined pursuant to clause (a) above, by using any one of the methods provided below:

(i)                pursuant to the table below:

Type of Collateral Obligation	Rating by S&P (Public and Monitored)	Collateral Obligation Rated by S&P	Number of Subcategories Relative to Moody's Equivalent of Rating by S&P
Not Structured Finance Obligation	= > "BBB-"	Not a Loan or Participation Interest in Loan	-1
Not Structured Finance Obligation	= <  "BB+"	Not a Loan or Participation Interest in Loan	-2
Not Structured Finance Obligation		Loan or Participation Interest in Loan	-2

(ii)               if such Collateral Obligation is not rated by S&P but another security or obligation of the Obligor has a public and monitored rating by S&P (a "parallel security"), the rating of such parallel security shall at the election of the Collateral Manager be determined in accordance with the table set forth in subclause (i) above, and the Xxxxx'x Rating or Moody's Default Probability Rating of such Collateral Obligation shall be determined in accordance with the methodology set forth in clause (a) above (for such purposes treating the parallel security as if it were rated by Moody's at the rating determined pursuant to this subclause (ii)).

"Xxxxx'x Rating": (a) With respect to a Collateral Obligation that is a Senior Secured Loan:

(i) if Moody's has assigned such Collateral Obligation a public rating or a private letter rating, such rating;

SCH. 4-3

(ii) if not determined pursuant to clause (i), (A) if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has a corporate family rating by Moody's, the Xxxxx'x rating that is one subcategory higher than such corporate family rating or (B) if the Issuer has obtained a Moody's Credit Estimate with respect to such Collateral Obligation, the Xxxxx'x rating that is one subcategory higher than such Moody's Credit Estimate;

(iii) if not determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii), if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has a Moody's Senior Unsecured Rating, the Xxxxx'x rating that is two subcategories higher than such Moody's Senior Unsecured Rating;

(iv) if not determined pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii), the Moody's Derived Rating, if any; or

(v) if not determined pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), "Caa3".

(b) With respect to a Collateral Obligation that is not a Senior Secured Loan:

(i) if Moody's has assigned such Collateral Obligation a public rating or a private letter rating, such rating;

(ii) if not determined pursuant to clause (i), if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has a Moody's Senior Unsecured Rating, such Moody's Senior Unsecured Rating;

(iii) if not determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii), (A) if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has a corporate family rating by Moody's, the Xxxxx'x rating that is one subcategory lower than such corporate family rating or (B) if the Issuer has obtained a Moody's Credit Estimate with respect to such Collateral Obligation, the Xxxxx'x rating;

(iv) if not determined pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii), if the subordinated debt of the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has a public rating from Moody's, the Xxxxx'x rating that is one subcategory higher than such rating;

(v) if not determined pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), the Moody's Derived Rating, if any; or

(vi) if not determined pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), "Caa3".

For purposes of determining a Xxxxx'x Rating, if an Obligor does not have a Moody's corporate family rating and any entity in such Obligor's corporate family has a Moody's corporate family rating, the Moody's corporate family rating from Moody's of such entity will be deemed to be the Moody's corporate family rating of the Obligor.

SCH. 4-4

"Moody's RiskCalc Calculation": For purposes of the definition of Moody's Default Probability Rating, the calculation made as follows, as updated annually or upon a material modification of the Underlying Instrument, as modified by any updated criteria provided to the Collateral Manager by Moody's:

1. For purposes of this calculation, the following terms have the meanings provided below.

".EDF": With respect to any loan, the lowest five year expected default frequency for such loan as determined by running the current version Moody's RiskCalc Calculation in both the Financial Statement Only (FSO) and the Credit Cycle Adjusted (CAA) modes in accordance with Moody's published criteria in effect at the time.

"Pre Qualifying Conditions": With respect to any loan, conditions that will be satisfied if the obligor or, if applicable, the Underlying Instrument with respect to the applicable loan satisfies the following criteria:

(a) the independent accountants of such obligor shall have issued an unqualified audit opinion prepared in accordance with GAAP with respect to the most recent fiscal year financial statements, including no explanatory paragraph addressing "going concern" or other issues. For LBOs, a full one-year audit of the firm after the acquisition has been completed should be available;

(b) the obligor's EBITDA is equal to or greater than U.S.$5,000,000;

(c) the obligor's annual sales are equal to or greater than U.S.$10,000,000;

(d) the obligor's book assets are equal to or greater than U.S.$10,000,000;

(e) the obligor represents not more than 3.0% of the Aggregate Principal Balance of all Collateral Obligations that are loans;

(f) the obligor is a private company with no public rating from Moody's;

(g) for the current and prior fiscal year, such obligor's:

    (i) EBIT/interest expense ratio is greater than 1.0:1.0 and 1.25:1.00 with respect to retail (adjusted for rent expense);

    (ii) debt/EBITDA ratio is less than 6.0:1.0;

(h) no greater than 25% of the company's revenue is generated from any one customer of the obligor;

(i) the obligor is a for profit operating company in any one of the Moody's Industry Classifications with the exception of (i) Banking, Finance, Insurance and Real Estate and (ii) Sovereign and Public Finance;

SCH. 4-5

(j) none of the financial covenants of the Underlying Instrument have been modified, amended, or waived within the preceding three months; and

(k) the Underlying Instrument (including any financial covenants contained therein) has not been modified, amended, or waived within the preceding three months.

2. The Collateral Manager shall calculate the .EDF for each of the loans to be rated pursuant to this calculation based upon the signed, unqualified, full-year, audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (unless calculations based upon updated, unaudited financial statements are approved by Moody's). The Collateral Manager shall also provide Moody's with the .EDF and the information necessary to calculate such .EDF. Moody's shall have the right (in its sole discretion) to (i) amend or modify any of the information utilized to calculate the .EDF and recalculate the .EDF based upon such revised information, in which case such .EDF shall be determined using the table in paragraph 3 below in order to determine the applicable Moody's Default Probability Rating, or (ii) have a Moody's credit analyst provide a credit estimate for any loan, in which case such credit estimate provided by such credit analyst shall be the applicable Moody's Default Probability Rating.

3. As of any date of determination, the Xxxxx'x Rating Factor for each loan that satisfies the Pre Qualifying Conditions shall be the weaker of (i) the Collateral Manager's internal rating or (ii) the Moody's Rating Factor based on the .EDF for such loan determined in accordance with the table below^[1]:

RiskCalc-Derived ..EDF	Moody's Rating Factor
Baa3.edf and above	1766
Ba1.edf, Ba2.edf, Ba3.edf, or B1.edf	2720
B2.edf or B3.edf	3490
Caa.edf	4770

4. As of any date of determination, the Moody's Recovery Rate for each loan that meets the Pre Qualifying Conditions shall be the lower of (i) the Collateral Manager's internal recovery rate or (ii) the recovery rate as determined in accordance with the table below (and the Collateral Manager shall give the Collateral Administrator notice of such Xxxxx'x Recovery Rate):

Type of Loan	Moody's Recovery Rate
First-lien, senior secured loans	50%
All other loans	25%

¹ RiskCalc-based Xxxxx'x Rating Factors are derived from five-year .edfs. To produce these .edfs, the RiskCalc model should be run in both Financial Statement Only ("FSO") mode and Credit Cycle Adjusted ("CCA") mode. In the CCA mode, the model inputs are based on current financial data and should be run for the current year, as well as for each of the previous four years (12, 24, 36, 48 months prior). The weakest .edf from these six runs will then be mapped to determine the obligor's Xxxxx'x Rating Factor.

SCH. 4-6

provided that Moody's shall have the right (in its sole discretion) to issue a recovery rate assigned by one of its credit analysts, in which case such recovery rate provided by such credit analyst shall be the applicable Moody's Recovery Rate.

5. Within five Business Days of completing a RiskCalc rating, the Issuer will provide copies to Moody's of:

a. audited financial statements used for model inputs;

b. RiskCalc Model inputs;

c. documentation that pre-qualifying conditions have been met;

d. all model runs and mapped rating factors; and

e. documentation for any loan amendments or modifications.
