The provisions of this Section 1.3 shall be applicable to any determination or calculation that is covered by this Section 1.3, whether or not reference is specifically made to Section 1.3, unless some other method of calculation or determination is expressly specified in the particular provision.

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

-70-

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

(d) Each Scheduled Distribution receivable with respect to a Collateral 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 Securities or other amounts payable pursuant to this Indenture.

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

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

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

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

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

(k) Except as expressly set forth herein, the “principal balance” and the “outstanding principal balance” of a Revolving Collateral Obligation or a Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation shall include all unfunded commitments that have not been irrevocably reduced or withdrawn.

(l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, all monetary calculations hereunder shall be in Dollars.

(m) Any reference in this Indenture to an amount of the Trustee’s or the Collateral Administrator’s fees calculated with respect to a period at a per annum rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed during the related Interest Accrual Period and shall be based on the aggregate face amount of the Assets.

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

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

(p) For all purposes where expressly used herein, the “outstanding principal balance” and the “principal balance” of any or all of the Collateral Obligations shall exclude capitalized interest, if any.

(q) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except as otherwise specifically provided herein (including with respect to the acquisition of a Workout Loan as a Collateral Obligation), a Workout Loan shall be treated as a Defaulted Obligation unless and until the date on which it subsequently meets the definition of “Collateral Obligation” (as determined on such date and without giving effect to any exclusions for Workout Loans set forth in the definition of “Collateral Obligation”).

-72-

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

(s) For purposes of determining compliance with the EU/UK Risk Retention Requirements, calculating the EU/UK Retained Interest and determining whether an EU/UK Retention Deficiency has occurred, the “principal balance” of any Asset shall be its principal balance in each case without any adjustments for purchase price or the application of haircuts or other adjustments.

(t) All calculations related to the Discount Obligation, Investment Criteria and the limitations described in the Offering Circular and definitions related to Discount Obligation, Investment Criteria and such optional purchases and substitutions described in the Offering Circular that would otherwise be calculated cumulatively will be reset at zero on the date of any Refinancing (i) in which all Classes of Secured Notes are redeemed or (ii) in connection with which the S&P Rating Condition has been satisfied.

Date and are Outstanding at the time of the additional issuance; provided further that if an opinion to the effect that any additional Notes will be treated as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not delivered, such additional Notes will be subject to tax-related transfer restrictions substantially similar to those applicable to the Preferred Shares, (vii) in the case of additional Notes of any one or more existing Class of Notes that is treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes will be issued with a separate securities identifier number unless the additional Notes are issued pursuant to a “qualified reopening” of the original series, are otherwise treated as part of the same “issue” of debt instruments as the original series or are issued with less than a de minimis amount of original issue discount, in each case for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (viii) none of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Retention Holder or any “sponsor” of the Issuer under the U.S. Risk Retention Rules shall fail to be in compliance with the U.S. Risk Retention Rules or the EU/UK Risk Retention Requirements as a result of such additional issuance unless such Person has consented to such additional issuance, (ix) in the case of an issuance of Junior Mezzanine Secured Notes, such Junior Mezzanine Secured Notes may not have a stated maturity earlier than the earliest Stated Maturity of any Secured Notes Outstanding, unless a Majority of the Controlling Class consents and (x) an Officer’s certificate of the Issuer shall be delivered to the Trustee stating that the conditions of this Section 2.4(a) have been satisfied. Such additional Securities may be offered at prices that differ from the applicable initial offering

price.

(a) Interest on the Additional Securities shall be payable commencing on the first Payment Date following the issue date of such Additional Securities (if issued prior to the applicable Record Date). The Additional Secured Notes of an existing Class shall rank pari passu in all respects with the initial Secured Notes of that Class.

(b) Any Additional Securities of any Class issued pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, be offered first to Holders of that Class in such amounts as are necessary to preserve (on an approximate basis) their pro rata holdings of Securities of such Class; provided that the Collateral Manager and the Retention Holder and their respective affiliates shall have priority over such existing holders to the extent that the Collateral Manager or the Retention Holder determines in its sole discretion that the purchase of such Additional Securities is required to satisfy the U.S. Risk Retention Rules or to prevent or cure an EU/UK Retention Deficiency.

Section 2.5 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. i) The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by one of its Authorized Officers. The signature of such Authorized Officer on the Notes may be manual, electronic or facsimile.

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

-78-

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

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

Notes issued upon transfer, exchange or replacement of other Notes shall be issued in authorized denominations reflecting the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced, but shall represent only the current outstanding principal amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced. If any Note is divided into more than one Note in accordance with this Article II, the original principal amount of such Note shall be proportionately divided among the Notes delivered in exchange therefor and shall be deemed to be the original aggregate principal amount 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 or electronic signature of one of their authorized signatories, and such Certificate of Authentication upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.6 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Issuer shall cause the Notes to be registered and shall cause to be kept a register (the “Register”) at the office of the Trustee in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed registrar (the “Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of such Notes with respect to the Register maintained in the United States as herein provided. Upon any resignation or removal of the Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, in the absence of such appointment, assume the duties of Registrar. Ownership of the Preferred Shares shall be by reference to the Share Register.

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

Subject to this Section 2.6, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate, or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate, and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal or face amount. At any time, upon request of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Initial Purchaser or the Co-Placement Agent, the Trustee shall provide such requesting Person a list of Holders of the Notes.

-79-

In addition, when permitted under this Indenture, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate of ownership provided to the Trustee by a beneficial owner of a Note (including a Beneficial Ownership Certificate or a certificate in the form of Exhibit C) and/or other forms of reasonable evidence of such ownership as to the names and addresses of such beneficial owner and the Classes, principal amounts and CUSIP numbers of Notes beneficially owned thereby. At any time, upon request of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Initial Purchaser or the Co-Placement Agent, the Trustee shall provide such requesting Person a copy of each Beneficial Ownership Certificate that the Trustee has received.

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

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

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.

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

(b) No Note may be sold or transferred (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) unless such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, is exempt from the registration requirements under applicable state securities laws and will not cause the Issuer to become subject to the requirement that it register as an investment company under the 1940 Act.

(c) Each purchaser, beneficial owner and subsequent transferee of a Note (or interest therein) will be deemed (and may be required) to represent and agree to the requirements of Section 2.13.

-80-

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with, or for otherwise monitoring or determining compliance with, the registration provisions of or any exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction, ERISA, the Code, the 1940 Act, or the terms hereof; provided that if a certificate is specifically required by the terms of this Section 2.6 to be provided to the Trustee by a prospective transferor or transferee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether or not the certificate substantially conforms on its face to the applicable requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same and the Issuer if such certificate does not comply with such terms.

If (a) any mutilated or defaced Note is surrendered to a Transfer Agent, or if there shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Trustee and the relevant Transfer Agent evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (b) there is delivered to the Issuer, the Trustee and such Transfer Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Trustee or such Transfer Agent that such

-87-

Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and, upon Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate, or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate, and deliver to the Holder, in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note, 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 Issuer, 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 Issuer, the Trustee and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith.

In case any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become due and payable, the Issuer in its 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 Issuer 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 Issuer 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 Notes of each Class shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period at the applicable Interest Rate and such interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date on the Aggregate Outstanding Amount thereof as of the first day of the related Interest Accrual Period (after giving effect to payments of principal thereof on such date), except as otherwise set forth below; provided that any interest bearing Additional Securities issued after the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of this Indenture will accrue interest during the Interest Accrual Period in which such Additional Securities are issued from and including the applicable date of issuance of such Additional Securities to but excluding the last day of such Interest Accrual Period at the applicable Interest Rate for such Additional Securities; provided further that, with respect to any Interest Accrual Period during which a Re-Pricing has occurred, the applicable Interest Rate of any Re-Priced Class shall reflect the applicable Re-Pricing Rate from, and including, the applicable Re-Pricing Date. Payment of interest and distributions

-88-

on each Class of Securities will be subordinated to the payment of interest on each related Priority Class as provided in Section 11.1. To the extent lawful and enforceable, interest on any interest that is not paid when due on any Secured Notes shall accrue at the Interest Rate for such Class until paid as provided herein.

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

(c) Principal payments on the Secured Notes will be made in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Article IX.

(d) The Paying Agent shall require the previous delivery of properly completed and signed applicable tax certifications (generally, in the case of U.S. federal income tax, an IRS Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a United States Tax Person or the applicable IRS Form W-8 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a Person that is not a United States Tax Person) or other certification acceptable to it to enable the 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 pay, deduct or withhold from payments in respect of such Notes or the Holder or beneficial owner of such Notes under any present or future law or regulation of the United States, any other jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or regulation (including any cost basis reporting obligations) and the delivery of any information required under FATCA. The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes as a result of deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges with respect to the Notes. Nothing herein shall be construed to obligate the Paying Agent to determine the duties or liabilities of the Issuer or any other paying agent with respect to any tax certification or withholding requirements, or any tax certification or withholding requirements of any jurisdiction, political subdivision or taxing authority outside the United States.

(e) Payments in respect of interest on and principal of any Secured Notes shall be made by the Trustee in Dollars to DTC or its designee with respect to a Global Note and to the Holder or its nominee with respect to a Certificated Note, by wire transfer, as directed by such Person, in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by DTC or its nominee with respect to a Global Note, to the Holder or its nominee with respect to a Certificated Note; provided that in the case of a Certificated Note (1) the Holder thereof shall have provided written wiring instructions to the Trustee on or before the related Record Date and (2) if appropriate instructions

-89-

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. Payments in respect to the Preferred Shares shall be made by the Trustee to the Fiscal Agent, on behalf of the Issuer, for payments to Shareholders. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of a Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the office of any Paying Agent on or prior to such Maturity; provided that if the Trustee and the Issuer 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 Issuer or the Trustee that the applicable Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. None of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager, nor any Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records (or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing such records) maintained by DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream or any of the Agent Members or any of their nominees relating to or for payments made thereby on account of beneficial interests in a Global Note. In the case where any final payment of principal and interest is to be made on any Secured Notes (other than on the Stated Maturity thereof), the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer shall prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, mail (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Persons entitled thereto at their addresses appearing on the Register, a notice which shall specify the date on which such payment will be made, the amount of such payment per U.S.$1,000 original principal amount of such Notes and the place where such Notes may be presented and surrendered for such payment.

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

(g) Interest accrued with respect to the Floating Rate Notes shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360. Interest on the Fixed Rate Notes will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year divided into twelve 30-day months.

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

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer under the Securities and this Indenture from time to time and at any time are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer payable solely from the Assets available at such time 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 Issuer hereunder or in connection herewith after such realization shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had against any officer, director, manager, partner, member, employee, shareholder, authorized Person or incorporator of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or their respective Affiliates, successors or assigns for any amounts payable under the Notes or this Indenture. It is understood that the

-90-

foregoing provisions of this paragraph (i) shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Assets for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Assets or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Securities or secured by this Indenture until such Assets have been realized. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (i) shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any Proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Secured Notes or this Indenture, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity.

(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 to unpaid interest and principal (or other applicable amount) that were carried by such other Note.

Section 2.9 Persons Deemed Owners. The Issuer, the Trustee, and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall treat as the owner of each Security the Person in whose name such Security is registered on the Register or Share Register, as applicable, on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal and interest on such Security and on, other than as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, any other date for all other purposes whatsoever (whether or not such Security is overdue), and neither the Issuer or the Trustee, or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.10 Cancellation. All Secured Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption, mutilated, defaced or deemed lost or stolen, shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee and may not be reissued or resold. No Notes may be surrendered (including any surrender in connection with any abandonment, donation, gift, contribution or other event or circumstance thereof) except for payment as provided herein, or for registration of transfer, exchange or redemption as provided herein or for replacement in connection with any Secured Notes mutilated, defaced or deemed lost or stolen. Any Notes surrendered for cancellation as permitted by this Section 2.10 shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 2.10, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes held by the Trustee shall be destroyed or held by the Trustee in accordance with its standard retention policy unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order received prior to destruction that they be returned to it. The Issuer is not permitted to repurchase any Security; provided that such prohibition will not be deemed to limit the Issuer’s rights or obligations relating to any redemption of the Notes permitted or required pursuant to this Indenture.

Section 2.11 DTC Ceases to Be Depository. (a) A Global Note deposited with DTC pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be transferred in the form of a corresponding Certificated Note to the beneficial owners thereof only if (A) such transfer complies with Section 2.6 of this Indenture and (B) either (x)(i) DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such Global Note, or (ii) DTC ceases to be a Clearing Agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after receiving notice of such event or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such transfer is requested by any beneficial owner of an interest in such Global Note.

-91-

(b) Any Global Note that is transferable in the form of a corresponding Certificated Note to the beneficial owner thereof pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be surrendered by DTC to the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate, or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate, and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive physical certificates (pursuant to the instructions of DTC) in authorized denominations. Any Certificated Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.6, bear the legends set forth in 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 such Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

(d) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in sub-Section (a) of this Section 2.11, the Issuer will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Certificated Notes.

If Certificated Notes are not so issued by the Issuer to such beneficial owners of interests in Global Notes as required by sub-Section (a) of this Section 2.11, the Issuer expressly acknowledges that the beneficial owners shall be entitled to pursue any remedy that the Holders of a Global Note would be entitled to pursue in accordance with Article V of this Indenture (but only to the extent of such beneficial owner’s interest in the Global Note) as if corresponding Certificated Notes had been issued; provided that the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate of ownership provided by such beneficial owners (including a certificate in the form of Exhibit C) and/or other forms of reasonable evidence of such ownership.

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

Section 2.12 Non-Permitted Holders. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere herein, any transfer of a beneficial interest in any Notes to a U.S. Person that is not a QIB/QP shall be null and void and any such purported transfer of which the Issuer or the Trustee shall have notice may be disregarded by the Issuer and the Trustee for all purposes. In addition, the acquisition of Secured Notes by a Non-Permitted Holder under Section 2.12(a) shall be null and void ab initio. If (i) any U.S. Person that is not a QIB/QP shall become the Holder beneficial owner of an interest in any Note (other than a Regulation S Global Note), (ii) any U.S. person shall become the Holder or beneficial owner of an interest in any of a Regulation S Global Note or (iii) any person that is not a Qualified Purchaser shall become the holder or beneficial owner of an interest in any Regulation S Global Note (any such Person a “Non-Permitted Holder”), the acquisition of Notes by such Holder shall be null and void ab initio.

-92-

(b) The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall, promptly after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted Holder by the Issuer or the Trustee or upon notice to the Issuer from the Trustee (if a trust officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge, in which case, the Trustee agrees to notify the Issuer of such discovery), send notice to such Non-Permitted Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted Holder transfer its interest in the Notes held by such Non-Permitted Holder to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted Holder within 30 days after the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted Holder fails to so transfer such Notes, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager acting for the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such Notes or interest in such Notes to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer, or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer, may 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 sell such Notes to the highest such bidder; provided that the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates and accounts, funds, clients or portfolios established and controlled by the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to bid in any such sale. However, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of each Note, the Non-Permitted Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Notes, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer, the 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 such sale shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Collateral Manager shall be liable to any Person having an interest in the Notes sold as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

(c) If any Person shall become the beneficial owner of an interest in any Note who has made or is deemed to have made a prohibited transaction, Benefit Plan Investor or Other Plan Law representation required by Section 2.6 that is subsequently shown to be false or misleading (any such Person a “Non-Permitted ERISA Holder”), the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall, promptly after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder by the Issuer or upon notice to the Issuer from the Trustee (if a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge and who agrees to notify the Issuer upon obtaining actual knowledge), send notice to such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder transfer all or any portion of the Notes held by such Person to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder within 10 days after the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder fails to so transfer such Notes, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder, to sell such Notes or interest in such Notes to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Notes, and selling such Notes to the highest such bidder. The holder of each Note, the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Notes, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Trustee to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any

-93-

commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this sub-Section (c) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Collateral Manager shall be liable to any Person having an interest in the Notes sold as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

Section 2.13 Treatment and Tax Certification. (a) Each Holder (including, for purposes of this Section 2.13, any beneficial owner of the Notes), by acceptance of such Notes or an interest in such Notes shall be deemed to have agreed to treat, and shall treat, the Notes, to the extent outstanding for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as debt and the Preferred Shares as equity, in each case, for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes and will take no action inconsistent with such treatment unless required by law.

(b) Each Holder will timely furnish the Issuer, the Trustee or their respective agents with any tax forms or certifications (including, without limitation, IRS Form W-9 in the case of a Person that is a United States Tax person or an applicable IRS Form W-8 (together with all applicable attachments) in the case of a Person that is not a United States Tax person, or any successors to such IRS forms) that the Issuer, the Trustee or their respective agents reasonably request in order to (A) make payments to the Holder without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding, (B) qualify for a reduced rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which they receive payments, and (C) satisfy reporting and other obligations under the Code, Treasury regulations, or any other applicable law or regulation (including the Tax Account Reporting Rules), and will update or replace such tax forms or certifications in accordance with their terms or subsequent amendments. Such Holder acknowledges that the failure to provide, update or replace any such tax forms or certifications may result in the imposition of withholding or back-up withholding on payments to the beneficial owner, or to the Issuer. Amounts withheld by the Issuer or its agents that are, in their sole judgment, required to be withheld pursuant to applicable tax laws will be treated as having been paid to such Holder by the Issuer.

(c) Each Holder will comply with the Holder Reporting Obligations. In the event such Holder fails for any reason to comply with the Holder Reporting Obligations or otherwise becomes an Ineligible Tax Holder, or to the extent that its ownership of Notes would otherwise cause the Issuer to fail to achieve Tax Account Reporting Rules Compliance, the Issuer (and any agent acting on its behalf) is authorized to (A) withhold amounts otherwise distributable to the investor as compensation for, and to the extent of, any amounts withheld from payments to or for the benefit of the Issuer as a result of such failure or such ownership, and (B) to the extent necessary to avoid an adverse effect on the Issuer as a result of such failure or such ownership, the Issuer will have the right to compel the investor to sell its Notes and, if such person does not sell its Notes within 10 Business Days after notice from the Issuer or its agents, the Issuer will have the right to sell such Notes at a public or private sale called and conducted in any manner permitted by law, and to remit the net proceeds of such sale (taking into account, in addition to other related costs and charges, any taxes incurred by the Issuer in connection with such sale) to such person as payment in full for such Notes and/or (C) assign to such Notes a separate CUSIP or CUSIPs. Each Holder agrees that the Issuer, the Trustee and/or their agents or representatives may (1) provide any information and documentation concerning its investment in its Notes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and any other relevant tax authority and (2) take such other steps as they deem necessary or helpful to ensure that the Issuer achieves Tax Account Reporting Rules Compliance.

-94-

(d) Each Holder agrees that no Secured Notes may be transferred by a Person from which the Issuer is disregarded as separate for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless a written opinion of tax counsel of nationally recognized standing in the United States experienced in such matters is delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Manager, to the effect that any Secured Notes so transferred will be characterized as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes immediately following such transfer.

(e) Each Holder will be required or deemed to represent that, if it is not a United States Tax Person, it either:

(i) is:

(A) not a bank (or an entity affiliated with a bank) extending credit pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code);

(B) not a “10 percent shareholder” of the Issuer (or its sole owner, as applicable) within the meaning of section 871(h)(3) of the Code; and

(C) not a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code that is related to the Issuer (or its sole owner, as applicable) within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code;

(ii) has provided an IRS Form W-8ECI representing that all payments received or to be received by it from the Issuer are effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business within the United States and includible in its gross income; or

(iii) has provided an IRS Form W-8BEN-E representing that it is eligible for benefits under an income tax treaty with the United States that eliminates U.S. federal income taxation of U.S. source interest not attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States.

(f) Each Holder will be required or deemed to agree to provide the Issuer and the Trustee with certifications necessary to establish that it is not subject to withholding tax under the Tax Account Reporting Rules.

(g) Each Holder represents that, if it is not a United States Tax Person, it is not, and will not be, a member of an “expanded group” within the meaning of the Section 385 Rules) that includes a domestic corporation (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) if (i) such domestic corporation, directly or indirectly (through one or more entities that are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as partnerships, disregarded entities, or grantor trusts), owns Preferred Shares and (ii) (A) the Issuer is a “controlled partnership” (within the meaning of the Section 385 Rules) with respect to such expanded group or (B) the Issuer is an entity disregarded as separate from either such domestic corporation or an entity that is treated as a “controlled partnership” (within the meaning of the Section 385 Rules) with respect to such expanded group; provided that such beneficial owner may acquire Secured Notes in violation of this restriction if it provides the Issuer with an opinion of nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Manager, to the effect that the acquisition or transfer of Secured Notes will not cause such Secured Notes to be recharacterized as equity under the Section 385 Rules.

-95-

(h) Each Holder and beneficial owner of Preferred Shares will be required or deemed to agree to act in accordance with Sections 2.7 and 2.8 of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, as in effect on the Closing Date.

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 payment of the purchase price, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obliged to see to the application thereof.

Any such sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial Proceedings, shall bind the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, 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) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has directed or been directed to cause a liquidation of the Assets pursuant to this Indenture, OTF II shall have the right to make a contribution in an amount no less than would be sufficient to discharge in full the amounts then due (or, in the case of interest, accrued) and unpaid on the Secured Notes for principal and interest and all other amounts that, pursuant to the Priority of Payments, are required to be paid prior to such payments on such Secured Notes (including any amounts due and owing as Administrative Expenses (without regard to the Administrative Expense Cap) and any due and unpaid Base Management Fee) and upon the making of such contribution, any such direction for liquidation shall be null and void and any liquidation procedures or auction shall be terminated.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, none of the Trustee, the Secured Parties or the Holders may, prior to the date which is one year (or if longer, any applicable preference period) plus one day after the payment in full of all Notes and any other debt obligations of the Issuer that have been rated upon issuance institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium, winding up or liquidation Proceedings, or other similar Proceedings under U.S. federal or state bankruptcy or similar laws. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall preclude, or be deemed to estop, the Trustee (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned period in (A) any case or Proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer (B) any involuntary insolvency Proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Trustee, or (ii) from commencing against the Issuer or any of its properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium, liquidation or similar Proceeding. The restrictions described this Section 5.4(e) are a material inducement for each Holder and beneficial owner of Notes to acquire such Notes and for the Issuer and the Collateral Manager to enter into this Indenture (in the case of the Issuer) and the other applicable Transaction Documents and are an essential term of this Indenture. Any Holder, beneficial owner of Notes or the Issuer 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 United States federal or state bankruptcy law or similar laws.

-110-

(f) In the event one or more Holders or beneficial owners of Securities cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer in violation of the prohibition described in Section 5.4(e) 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 or with respect to any Assets (including any proceeds thereof) shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Priority of Payments, be fully subordinate in right of payment to the claims of each Holder and beneficial owner of any Secured Notes that does not seek to cause any such filing, with such subordination being effective until each Secured Note held by each Holder or beneficial owner of any Secured Notes that does not seek to cause any such filing is paid in full in accordance with the Priority of Payments (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 will 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 with respect to the payment of amounts payable to Holders, which amounts are subordinated pursuant to this Section 5.4(f).

(g) The Issuer shall, so long as any Notes remain Outstanding and for a year and a day thereafter, timely file an answer and any other appropriate pleading objecting to (i) the institution of any proceeding to have the Issuer adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or (ii) the filing of any petition seeking relief, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, winding up or composition of or in respect of the Issuer under any Bankruptcy Law or any other applicable law. The reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Issuer (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with taking any such action shall be paid as Administrative Expenses.

Section 5.5 Optional Preservation of Assets. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the right of the Collateral Manager to direct the Trustee to sell Collateral Obligations or Equity Securities in strict compliance with Section 12.1), if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall retain the Assets securing the Secured Notes intact, collect and cause the collection of the proceeds thereof and make and apply all payments at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and deposit and maintain all accounts in respect of the Assets and the Securities in accordance with the Priority of Payments 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 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 Notes for principal and interest, and all other amounts that, pursuant to the Priority of Payments, are required to be paid prior to such payments on such Secured Notes (including any amounts due and owing as Administrative Expenses (without regard to the Administrative Expense Cap) and any due and unpaid Base Management Fee) and a Majority of the Controlling Class agrees with such determination and directs the sale and liquidation of the Assets;

(ii) in the case of an Event of Default specified in (A) Section 5.1(a) due to a failure to pay interest on any Class of Notes in accordance with the Priority of Interest Proceeds or the Priority of Principal Proceeds, (B) Section 5.1(a) due to failure to pay interest on any Class of Notes in accordance with the Special Priority of Payments or (C) Section 5.1(e), the Holders of at least a Majority of the Controlling Class direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets (in each case without regard to whether another Event of Default has occurred prior, contemporaneously or subsequent to such Event of Default); or

-111-

(iii) if the Controlling Class is no longer Outstanding, or in the case of any other Event of Default not specified in clause (ii), the Holders of at least a Majority of each Class of Secured Notes (voting separately by Class) direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets.

So long as such Event of Default is continuing, any such retention pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) may be rescinded at any time when the conditions specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) exist.

(b) Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee to sell the Assets securing the Secured Notes if the conditions set forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 5.5 (a) are not satisfied. Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee to preserve the Assets securing the Secured Notes 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. In the event that the Trustee, with the cooperation of the Collateral Manager, is only able to obtain bid prices with respect to each Asset from one nationally recognized dealer at the time making a market in such Assets, the Trustee shall compute the anticipated proceeds of the sale or liquidation on the basis of such one bid price for each such Asset. In addition, for the purposes of determining issues relating to the execution of a sale or liquidation of the Assets and the execution of a sale or other liquidation thereof in connection with a determination whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Trustee may retain and rely on an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation (the cost of which shall be payable as an Administrative Expense).

The 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 and 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)(i).

The Trustee shall deliver written notice to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and the Rating Agency upon receipt of direction pursuant to Section 5.5 (a)(i), (ii) or (iii) to liquidate and sell the Assets.

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

-112-

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

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

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

(b) the Holders of not less than 25% of the then Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Securities 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 indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities which might reasonably be incurred by it in compliance with such request;

(c) the 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 Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes of the same Class or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders of the Notes of the same Class or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Notes of the same Class subject to and in accordance with Section 13.1 and the Priority of Payments.

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 provisions of this Indenture. If all such groups represent the same percentage, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine what action, if any, shall be taken.

-113-

Section 5.9 Unconditional Rights of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest. Subject to Section 2.8(i), but notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Holder of any Secured Notes shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Secured Notes, as such principal, interest and other amounts become due and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Section 13.1, as the case may be, and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.8, 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 Notes ranking junior to Secured Notes still Outstanding shall have no right to institute Proceedings to request the Trustee to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment until such time as no Secured Notes ranking senior to such Secured Notes 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 Issuer, 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 Issuer, 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 Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes.

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 or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture; 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; provided that subject to Section 6.1, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or expense (unless the Trustee has received the indemnity as set forth in (c) below);

-114-

(c) the Trustee shall have been provided with an 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 Secured Notes representing the requisite percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of Notes specified in Section 5.4 and/or Section 5.5.

Section 5.14 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the time a judgment or decree for payments 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 Securities waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a Default:

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

(b) in the payment of interest on any Secured Note (which may be waived only with the consent of the Holder of such Secured Note);

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

(d) in respect of a representation contained in Section 7.19 (which may be waived only by a Majority of the Controlling Class if the S&P Rating Condition is satisfied).

In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Secured Note shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto. The Trustee shall promptly give written notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agency, 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.

Section 5.15 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Securities by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the 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 Secured Notes on or after the applicable Stated Maturity (or, in the case of redemption which has resulted in an Event of Default, on or after the applicable Redemption Date).

-115-

Section 5.16 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law 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 set forth in, the performance of, or any remedies under this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law or rights, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted or rights created.

Section 5.17 Sale of Assets. (a) The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Assets pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5 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 may upon notice to the Holders, and shall, upon direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, from time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale. 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 or other applicable terms hereof.

(b) The Trustee may bid for and acquire any portion of the Assets on behalf of the Holders 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 Notes in the case of the Assets or other amounts secured by the Assets, all or part of the net proceeds of such Sale after deducting the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such Sale notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7 hereof or other applicable terms hereof. The Secured Notes need not be produced in order to complete any such Sale, or in order for the net proceeds of such Sale to be credited against amounts owing on the Secured Notes. The Trustee may hold, lease, operate, manage or otherwise deal with any property so acquired in any manner permitted by law in accordance with this Indenture.

(c) If any portion of the Assets consists of securities issued without registration under the Securities Act (“Unregistered Securities”), the Trustee may seek an Opinion of Counsel, or, if no such Opinion of Counsel can be obtained and with the consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class, seek a no action position from the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other relevant federal or State regulatory authorities, regarding the legality of a public or private Sale of such Unregistered Securities.

(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, without recourse, representation or warranty. 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 payment.

-116-

Section 5.18 Action on the Notes. The Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking or obtaining of or application for any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Trustee or the 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.

ARTICLE VI

THE TRUSTEE

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

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth herein, 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 hereof; provided that in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform to the requirements hereof and shall promptly, but in any event within three (3) 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, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from a Majority of the Controlling Class, or such other percentage as permitted by this Indenture, 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 hereof 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 sub-Section shall not be construed to limit the effect of sub-Section (a) of this Section 6.1;

-117-

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

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

(iv) no provision hereof shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial or other liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it unless such risk or liability relates to the performance of its ordinary services, including mailing of notices under this Indenture; and

(v) in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage (including lost profits) even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless 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), (f), or (g) unless a Trust 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 Securities generally, the Issuer, the Assets or this Indenture. For purposes of determining the Trustee’s responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is made herein 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” has occurred, the Trustee shall, not later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, forward such notice to the Holders (as their names appear in the Register or the Share Register, as applicable) and the Rating Agency.

(f) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1.

-118-

Section 6.2 Notice of Event of Default. Promptly (and in no event later than three (3) Business Days) after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee or after any declaration of acceleration has been made or delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.2, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Rating Agency, Euronext Dublin (for so long as any Notes are listed on Euronext Dublin and the guidelines of such exchange shall so require) and all Holders (as their names and addresses appear on the Register or the Share Register, as applicable), notice of all Event of Defaults hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

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

(a) the Trustee may 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;

(d) as a condition to the taking or omitting of any action by it hereunder, the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

(e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise or to honor any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have provided to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities which might reasonably be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

(f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, note or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may, and upon the written direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class or of the Rating Agency shall (subject to the right hereunder to be reasonably satisfactorily indemnified for associated expense and liability), make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit or as it shall be directed, and the Trustee shall be entitled, on reasonable prior notice to the Issuer and the Collateral Manager, to examine the books and records relating to the Securities and the

(i) nothing herein shall be construed to impose an obligation on the part of the Trustee to monitor, recalculate, evaluate or verify or independently determine the accuracy of any report, certificate or information received from the Issuer or the Collateral Manager (unless and except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth herein or in the Collateral Administration Agreement);

(j) to the extent any defined term hereunder, or any calculation required to be made or determined by the Trustee hereunder, is dependent upon or defined by reference to generally accepted accounting principles (as in effect in the United States) (“GAAP”), the Trustee shall be entitled to request and receive (and rely upon) instruction from the Issuer or the accountants identified in the Accountants’ Report (and in the absence of its receipt of timely instruction therefrom, shall be entitled to obtain from an Independent accountant at the expense of the Issuer) as to the application of GAAP in such connection, in any instance;

(k) the Trustee shall not be liable for the actions or omissions of, or any inaccuracies in the records of, the Collateral Manager, the Issuer, any Paying Agent (other than the Trustee), DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream, or any other clearing agency or depository and without limiting the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be under any obligation to monitor, evaluate or verify compliance by the Collateral Manager with the terms hereof or of the Collateral Management Agreement, or to verify or independently determine the accuracy of information received by the Trustee from the Collateral Manager (or from any selling institution, agent bank, trustee or similar source) with respect to the Assets;

(l) notwithstanding any term hereof (or any term of the UCC that might otherwise be construed to be applicable to a “securities intermediary” as defined in the UCC) to the contrary, none of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Securities Intermediary shall be under a duty or obligation in connection with the acquisition or Grant by the Issuer to the Trustee of any item constituting the Assets, or to evaluate the sufficiency of the documents or instruments delivered to it by or on behalf of the Issuer in connection with its Grant or otherwise, or in that regard to examine any Underlying Document, in each case, in order to determine compliance with applicable requirements of and restrictions on transfer in respect of such Assets;

(i) to pay the Trustee on each Payment Date reasonable compensation, as set forth in a separate fee schedule delivered to the Issuer in connection with this Indenture, for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a Trustee of an express trust);

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 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) Subject to Section 6.9(a), the Trustee may resign at any time by giving not less than 30 days’ written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Holders of the Securities and the Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees satisfying the requirements of Section 6.8 by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by a Responsible Officer of the Issuer, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee so resigning and one copy to the successor Trustee or Trustees, together with a copy to each Holder and the Collateral Manager; provided that such successor Trustee shall be appointed only upon the Act of a Majority of the Securities of each Class 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. 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 upon 30 days written notice by an Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class and a Majority of the Preferred Shares 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 Issuer.

(d) If at any time:

(i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.8 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Holder; or

(ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

then, in any such case (subject to Section 6.9(a)), (A) the Issuer, by Issuer Order, 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.

-124-

(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 Issuer, by Issuer Order, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If the Issuer shall fail to appoint a successor Trustee within 30 days after such removal or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee 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 Issuer. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or a Majority of the Controlling Class and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, subject to Section 5.15, the Trustee 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 Issuer 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, to the Rating Agency and to the Holders of the Securities as their names and addresses appear in the Register (or, if applicable, the Share Register). Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. If the Issuer fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Issuer.

Section 6.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall meet the requirements of Section 6.8, shall make the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.17, and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment. In addition, so long as the retiring Trustee is the same institution as the Collateral Administrator, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Issuer, the successor and the retiring institutions, such successor Trustee shall automatically become, and hereby so agrees to be, the Collateral Administrator pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Collateral Administration Agreement and shall assume the duties of the Collateral Administrator under the terms and conditions of the Collateral Administration Agreement in its acceptance of appointment as successor Trustee until such time, if any, as it is replaced as Collateral Administrator by the Issuer pursuant to the Collateral Administration Agreement. Upon delivery of the required instruments, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Issuer or a Majority of any Class of Securities or the successor Trustee or successor Collateral Administrator, as applicable, 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 held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

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, the Issuer and the Trustee shall have power to appoint one or more Persons to act as co-trustee (subject to the satisfaction of the S&P 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 herein 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 Issuer shall join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint a co-trustee. If the Issuer does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by them of a request to do so, the Trustee shall have the power to make such appointment.

Should any written instrument from the Issuer be required by any co-trustee so appointed, more fully confirming to such co-trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer. The Issuer agrees to pay, to the extent funds are available therefor under clause (A) of the Priority of Interest Proceeds, for any reasonable fees and expenses in connection with such appointment.

Every co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms:

(a) the Notes shall be authenticated and delivered and all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, Cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised solely by the Trustee;

(b) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Trustee in respect of any property covered by the appointment of a co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee jointly 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 Issuer evidenced by an Issuer Order, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee appointed under this Section 6.12, and in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall have the power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee without the concurrence of the Issuer. A successor to any co-trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section 6.12;

-126-

(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 the Holders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each co-trustee.

The Issuer shall notify the Rating Agency of the appointment of a co-trustee hereunder.

Section 6.13 Certain Duties of Trustee Related to Delayed Payment of Proceeds and the Assets. If the Trustee shall not have received a payment with respect to any Asset on its Due Date, (a) the Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Collateral Manager in writing and (b) unless within three (3) Business Days (or the end of the applicable grace period for such payment, if any) after such notice (x) such payment shall have been received by the Trustee or (y) 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, not later than the Business Day immediately following the last day of such period and in any case upon request by the Collateral Manager, request the issuer of such Asset, the Trustee under the related Underlying Document or a paying agent designated by either of them, as the case may be, to make such payment not later than three (3) Business Days after the date of such request. If 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. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture. If the Issuer or the Collateral Manager requests a release of an Asset and/or delivers an additional Collateral Obligation in connection with any such action under the Collateral Management Agreement or under this Indenture, such release 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 Asset or any additional Collateral Obligation received after the Due Date thereof to the extent the Issuer previously made provisions for such payment satisfactory to the Trustee in accordance with this Section 6.13 and such payment shall not be deemed part of the Assets.

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

-127-

Section 6.14 Authenticating Agents. Upon the request of the Issuer, 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 the 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 Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.

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

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. 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 by applicable law on the Issuer’s payments (or allocations of income) under the Notes, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the relevant Holder. The Trustee and any other Paying Agent are hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to any Holder sufficient funds for the payment of any such tax that is legally owed or required to be withheld by the Issuer (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trustee or any such other 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) and to timely remit such amounts to the appropriate taxing authority. The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to any Notes shall be treated as Cash distributed to the relevant Holder at the time it is withheld by the Trustee or any other Paying Agent. If there is a reasonable possibility that withholding is required by applicable law with respect to a distribution, the Paying Agent or the Trustee may, in its sole discretion, withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 6.15. If any Holder or beneficial owner wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Trustee or such other Paying Agent shall reasonably cooperate with such Person in providing readily available information so long as such Person agrees to reimburse the Trustee or such Paying Agent for any out of pocket expenses incurred. Nothing herein shall impose an obligation on the part of the Trustee or any other Paying Agent to determine the amount of any tax or withholding obligation on the part of the Issuer or in respect of the Notes.

-128-

Section 6.16 Fiduciary for Holders Only; Agent for Each Other Secured Party. With respect to the security interest created hereunder, the delivery of any item of Asset to the Trustee is to the Trustee as representative of the Holders and agent for each other Secured Party. 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 all undertaken by the Trustee in its capacity as representative of the Holders, and agent for each other Secured Party.

The Issuer will, to the extent funds are lawfully available therefor pursuant to the Priority of Payments, duly and punctually pay all required distributions on the Preferred Shares, in accordance with this Indenture and the Limited Liability Company Agreement.

Amounts properly withheld under the Code or other applicable law by any Person from a payment under a Security shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer to the relevant Holder for all purposes of this Indenture.

Section 7.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as a Paying Agent for payments or distributions on the Securities, and appoint the Trustee as Transfer Agent at its applicable Corporate Trust Office as the Issuer’s agent where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.

The Issuer may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of any such agent or appoint any additional agents for any or all of such purposes and no paying agent shall be appointed in a jurisdiction which subjects payments or distributions on the Securities to withholding tax solely as a result of such Paying Agent’s activities. The Issuer shall at all times maintain a duplicate copy of the Register at the Corporate Trust Office. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee, the Rating Agency and the Holders of the appointment or termination of any such agent and of the location and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency, 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), notices and demands may be served on the Issuer, and Notes may be presented and surrendered for payment to the Trustee at its main office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the same as its agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

The Issuer shall maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures reasonably necessary in the performance of their obligations hereunder, and the Issuer shall keep and maintain or cause its Independent manager to keep or maintain at all times, or cause to be kept and maintained at all times in the State of Delaware, all documents, books, records, accounts and other information as are required under the laws of the State of Delaware.

If at any time the Issuer fails to maintain any such required office or agency in the United States, or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, notices and demands may be served directly on the Issuer. For the avoidance of doubt, notices to the Issuer under the Transaction Documents shall be delivered in accordance with Section 14.3.

So long as any Notes are listed on Euronext Dublin, the Issuer shall maintain an Irish listing agent therefor (the “Irish Listing Agent”). The initial Irish Listing Agent shall be Walkers Listing Services Limited, 5th Floor, The Exchange, George’s Dock, IFSC, Dublin 1, Ireland.

Section 7.3 Funds for Note Payments to Be Held in Trust. All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Securities that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Payment Account shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Trustee or a Paying Agent with respect to payments or distributions on the Securities.

When the Issuer shall have a Paying Agent that is not also the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, no later than the fifth 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 Issuer shall have a Paying Agent other than the Trustee, the Issuer shall, on or before the Business Day next preceding each Payment Date and on any Redemption Date, as the case may be, direct the Trustee to deposit on such Payment Date or such Redemption Date, as the case may be, 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 Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. Any funds deposited with a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) in excess of an amount sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due on the Securities 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 XI.

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

-131-

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

(b) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Securities 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 the Securities 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 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 Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer 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 Issuer 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 thereto.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, any amounts deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for any payment on any Securities and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Order; and the Holder of such Securities shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment of such amounts (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer) and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such amounts 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 Issuer any reasonable means of notification of such release of payment, including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such release to Holders whose Securities have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in amounts 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 the Issuer.

(a) The Issuer shall take all reasonable steps to maintain its identity as a separate legal entity from that of its members. The Issuer shall keep its registered office or principal place of business (as the case may be) in the same city, state and country indicated in the address specified in Section 14.3. The Issuer shall keep separate books and records and shall not commingle its funds with those of any other Person. The Issuer shall keep in full force and effect its rights and franchises as a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, shall comply with the provisions of its Organizational Documents and shall obtain and preserve its 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 Securities or any of the Assets; provided that, subject to Delaware law, the Issuer shall be entitled to change its jurisdiction of formation from Delaware to any other jurisdiction reasonably selected by the Issuer and approved by a Majority of the Preferred Shares in accordance with the Limited Liability Company Agreement, so long as (x) (i) the Issuer has received an Opinion of Counsel (upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely) to the effect that such change is not disadvantageous in any material respect any Class unless a Majority of such Class has consented to such change, (ii) written notice of such change shall have been given to the Trustee by the Issuer, which notice shall be promptly forwarded by the Trustee to the Holders, the Collateral Manager and the 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 or (y) such change is being made in connection with a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(xxviii).

The Issuer shall (i) ensure that all limited liability company or other formalities regarding its existence (including, to the extent required by applicable law, holding regular board of directors’, partners’, members’, managers’ and shareholders’ or other similar meetings) are followed, (ii) conduct business in its own name, (iii) correct any known misunderstanding as to its separate existence, (iv) maintain separate financial statements (if any), (v) maintain an arm’s-length relationship with any Affiliates, (vi) maintain adequate capital in light of its contemplated business operations, (vii) not commingle its funds with those of any other entity and (viii) pay its own liabilities out of its own funds. The Issuer shall not take any action, or conduct its affairs in a manner, that is likely to result in its separate existence being ignored or in its assets and liabilities being substantively consolidated with any other Person in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) the Issuer shall not have any subsidiaries (other than any subsidiaries necessitated by a change of jurisdiction pursuant to clause (a) above, subject to satisfaction of the S&P Rating Condition in the case of such clause (a) above) and (ii) the Issuer shall not (A) have any employees (other than its directors, manager and officers) to the extent they are employees, (B) engage in any transaction with any shareholder, member or partner that would constitute a conflict of interest (provided that each Transaction Document shall not be deemed to be such a transaction that would constitute a conflict of interest) or (C) pay dividends or make distributions to its owners other than in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. This Section 7.4(a) shall not be binding to the extent inconsistent with the status of the Issuer as an entity disregarded from its sole owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(b) The Issuer will at all times have at least one Independent manager under the Limited Liability Company Agreement.

-133-

Section 7.5 Protection of Assets. (a) The Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer will cause the taking of such action within the Collateral Manager’s control 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 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 execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and file or authorize the filing of all such Financing Statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action as may be necessary or advisable or desirable to secure the rights and remedies of the Holders of the Notes hereunder and to:

(i) grant more effectively all or any portion of 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 Assets or other instruments or property included in the Assets;

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

(vi) pay or 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 and hereby authorizes the filing of any Financing Statement, continuation statement and all other instruments, and take all other actions, required pursuant to this Section 7.5. Such designation shall not impose upon the Trustee, or release or diminish, the Issuer’s and the Collateral Manager’s obligations under this Section 7.5. The Issuer further authorizes and shall cause the Issuer’s counsel to file without the Issuer’s signature an initial Financing Statement on the Closing Date that names the Issuer as “Debtor” and the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as “Secured Party” and that identifies “all assets in which the Issuer now or hereafter has rights” as the collateral in which the Trustee has a Grant.

(b) The Trustee shall not, except in accordance with Section 5.5 or Section 10.8(a), (b) and (c), 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

-134-

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 will continue to be maintained after giving effect to such action or actions.

(c) If the Issuer shall at any time hold or acquire a “commercial tort claim” (as defined in the UCC) for which the Issuer (or predecessor in interest) has filed a complaint in a court of competent jurisdiction, the Issuer shall promptly provide notice to the Trustee in writing containing a sufficient description thereof (within the meaning of Section 9-108 of the UCC). If the Issuer shall at any time hold or acquire any timber to be cut, the Issuer shall promptly provide notice to the Trustee in writing containing a description of the land concerned (within the meaning of Section 9-203(b) of the UCC). Any commercial tort claim or timber to be cut so described in such notice to the Trustee will constitute an Asset and the description thereof will be deemed to be incorporated into the reference to commercial tort claims or to goods in the first Granting Clause. If the Issuer shall at any time hold or acquire any letter-of-credit rights, other than letter-of-credit rights that are supporting obligations (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(78) of the UCC), it shall obtain the consent of the issuer of the applicable letter of credit to an assignment of the proceeds of such letter of credit to the Trustee in order to establish control (pursuant to Section 9-107 of the UCC) of such letter-of-credit rights by the Trustee.

Section 7.6 Opinions as to Assets. On or before March 31 that precedes the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (and every five years thereafter for so long as any Secured Notes are Outstanding), the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee and the Rating Agency an Opinion of Counsel relating to 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 perfection of such lien over the next five years.

Section 7.7 Performance of Obligations. (a) The Issuer shall not take any action, and will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others, that would release any Person from any of such Person’s covenants or obligations under any instrument included in the Assets, except in the case of enforcement action taken with respect to any Defaulted Obligation in accordance with the provisions hereof and actions by the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement and in conformity therewith or with this Indenture or as otherwise required hereby or deemed necessary or advisable by the Collateral Manager in accordance with the Collateral Management Agreement.

(b) The Issuer shall notify the Rating Agency within ten (10) Business Days after it has received notice from any Holder or the Trustee of any material breach of any Transaction Document, following any applicable cure period for such breach.

Section 7.8 [Reserved].

At any time when the Issuer is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and are not exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3 - 2(b) under the Exchange Act, upon the request of a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note, the Issuer shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule 144A Information to such Holder or beneficial owner, to a prospective purchaser of such Note designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, or to the Trustee for delivery upon an Issuer Order to such Holder or beneficial owner or a prospective purchaser designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, in order to permit compliance by such Holder or beneficial owner with Rule 144A under the Securities Act in connection with the resale of such Note. “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 7.16 Calculation Agent. (a) The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any Floating Rate Note remains Outstanding there will 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 the Benchmark in respect of each Interest Accrual Period in accordance with the definition of Benchmark (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, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, will 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 and provide notice thereof to the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties or be removed without a successor having been duly appointed.

(b) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree (and the Collateral Administrator as Calculation Agent agrees under the Collateral Administration Agreement) that, as soon as possible on each Interest Determination Date, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. New York time on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately following each Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will calculate the Interest Rate applicable to each Class of Floating Rate Secured Notes during the related Interest Accrual Period and the Note Interest Amount (in each case, rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upward) payable on the related Payment Date in respect of the related Interest Accrual Period. At such time, the Calculation Agent will communicate such rates and amounts to the Issuer, the Trustee, each Paying Agent, the Collateral Manager, DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream and Euronext Dublin (for so long as any Notes are listed on Euronext Dublin and the guidelines of such exchange so require). The Calculation Agent will also notify the Issuer before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on every Interest Determination Date if it has not determined and is not in the process of determining any such Interest Rate or Note Interest Amount together with its reasons therefor. The Calculation Agent’s determination of the foregoing rates and amounts for any Interest Accrual Period will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties.

-141-

Section 7.17 Certain Tax Matters. (a) As of the Closing Date, the Issuer shall not take any action or permit any other Person to take any action that would cause it to be treated as other than a disregarded entity or a partnership (that is not a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. So long as there is one beneficial owner of the Preferred Shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes, each of the Issuer and such beneficial owner agree to treat the assets and liabilities of the Issuer as those of the sole beneficial owner. The Issuer will treat the Secured Notes, to the extent outstanding for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as debt and the Preferred Shares as equity, in each case for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes and will take no action inconsistent with such treatment unless required by law.

(b) The Issuer shall prepare and file, or shall hire accountants and the accountants shall cause to be prepared and filed (and, where applicable, delivered to the Issuer or Holders) for each taxable year of the Issuer the federal, state and local income tax returns and reports as required under the Code, or any tax returns or information tax returns required by any governmental authority which the Issuer is required to file (and, where applicable, deliver), and shall provide to each Holder any information that such Holder reasonably requests in order for such Holder to comply with its U.S. federal, state or local tax and information return and reporting obligations.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Issuer shall take any and all reasonable actions that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Issuer satisfies any and all withholding and tax payment obligations under Code Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446, 1471 and 1472, and any other provision of the Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer 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.

(d) The Issuer shall treat each purchase of Collateral Obligations (other than those transferred to it from a Person from whom the Issuer is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes) as a “purchase” for tax accounting and reporting purposes.

(e) If required to prevent the withholding and imposition of U.S. federal income tax on payments made to the Issuer, the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered an IRS Form W-9 of its sole beneficial owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes or, for periods during which the Issuer is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its own IRS Form W-9 (or applicable successor of such IRS form) to each Obligor of, or counterparty or paying agent with respect to, an Asset at the time such Asset is acquired or entered into by the Issuer and thereafter prior to the obsolescence or expiration of such form.

(f) Upon written request, the Trustee and the Registrar shall provide to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or any agent thereof in accordance with Section 14.3 any information specified by such parties regarding the Holders of the Notes and payments on the Notes that is reasonably available to the Trustee or the Registrar, as the case may be, and may reasonably be necessary for the Issuer to achieve Tax Account Reporting Rules Compliance.

(g) The Issuer (or an agent acting on its behalf) will take such reasonable actions, including hiring agents or advisors, consistent with law and its obligations under this Indenture, as are necessary to achieve Tax Account Reporting Rules Compliance, including appointing any agent or representative to perform due diligence, withholding or reporting obligations of the Issuer pursuant to Tax Account Reporting Rules, and any other action that the Issuer would be permitted to take under this Indenture necessary to achieve Tax Account Reporting Rules Compliance.

(h) 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 Note for the information described in United States Treasury regulations section 1.1275-3(b)(1)(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 a Note all of such information.

(i) No more than 50% of the debt obligations (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) held by the Issuer may at any time consist of real estate mortgages as determined for purposes of Section 7701(i) of the Code unless, based on an opinion of nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters, the ownership or such debt obligations will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a taxable mortgage pool for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(j) In connection with a Re-Pricing or a designation of a new Reference Rate, the Issuer will cause its Independent accountants to assist the Issuer in complying with any requirements under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1273-2(f)(9) (or any successor provision), including, (i) determining whether Notes subject to such Re-Pricing or a designation of a new Reference Rate are traded on an established market, (ii) if so traded, causing its Independent accountants to determine the fair market value of such Notes, and (iii) making available such fair market value determination to Holders and beneficial owners of Notes in a commercially reasonable fashion, including by electronic publication, within 90 days after the effective date of such Re-Pricing or a designation of a new Reference Rate.

Section 7.18 Effective Date; Purchase of Additional Collateral Obligations.

(a) The Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to purchase, on or before the Effective Date, Collateral Obligations (i) such that the Target Initial Par Condition is satisfied and (ii) that satisfy, as of the Effective Date, the Concentration Limitations, the Collateral Quality Test and the Class C Coverage Tests.

(b) During the period from the Closing Date to and including the Effective Date, the Issuer will use funds to purchase additional Collateral Obligations as follows: (i) to pay for the principal portion of any Collateral Obligation from any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account or any Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account at the discretion of the Collateral Manager and (ii) to pay for accrued interest on any such Collateral Obligation from any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account or any Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account at the discretion of the Collateral Manager.

(c) Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, (i) the Issuer shall provide to the Collateral Manager and the Trustee, an Accountants’ Report: (x) confirming the identity of the issuer (it being understood that the same issuer may be referred to differently due to the use of abbreviations or shorthand references by different record keepers), principal balance, coupon/spread, stated maturity, S&P Rating and country of Domicile with respect to each

-143-

Collateral Obligation as of the Effective Date and the information provided by the Issuer with respect to every other asset included in the Assets, by reference to such sources as shall be specified therein (such report, the “Accountants’ Effective Date Comparison AUP Report”) and (y) recalculating and comparing as of the Effective Date the level of compliance with, or satisfaction or non-satisfaction of the Effective Date Tested Items and specifying the procedures undertaken by them to review data and computations relating to such report (the “Accountants’ Effective Date Recalculation AUP Report”), and (ii) the Issuer shall cause the Collateral Administrator to compile and deliver to the Rating Agency (in the case of delivery to S&P, via email to CDOEffectiveDatePortfolios@spglobal.com) a report (the “Effective Date Report”), determined as of the Effective Date, containing (A) the information required in a Monthly Report, (B) a calculation of the Aggregate Principal Balance that indicates whether the Aggregate Principal Balance equals or exceeds the Target Initial Par Amount in satisfaction of the Target Initial Par Condition and (C) a list of any Closing Date Participation Interests held by the Issuer as of the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Effective Date Report shall not include or refer to the Accountants’ Report and no Accountants’ Report shall be provided to or otherwise shared with the Rating Agency.

(d) In accordance with SEC Release No. 34-72936, Form 15-E, only in its complete and unedited form which includes the Accountants’ Effective Date Comparison AUP Report as an attachment and, if Additional Securities are issued, any Accountants’ Report delivered in connection thereto will be provided by the Independent accountants to the Issuer who will post such Form 15-E, except for the redaction of any sensitive information, on the 17g-5 Website. Copies of the Accountants’ Effective Date Recalculation AUP Report or any other accountants’ report provided by the Independent accountants to the Issuer, Trustee, Collateral Manager or Collateral Administrator will not be provided to any other party including the Rating Agency (other than as provided in an access letter between the accountants and such party).

(e) If (1) the Effective Date S&P Conditions have not been satisfied prior to the date that is thirty (30) days after the Effective Date and (2) S&P has not provided written confirmation (which may take the form of a press release or other written communication) of its Initial Rating of the Notes rated by S&P by the date thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, then the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) shall request S&P to provide written confirmation of its Initial Rating of the Notes rated by S&P (which may take the form of a press release or other written communication). In such case, if S&P does not provide written confirmation of its Initial Rating of the Notes on or prior to the Determination Date immediately preceding the first Payment Date after the Closing Date, then the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) will instruct the Trustee to transfer amounts from the Interest Collection Subaccount to the Principal Collection Subaccount and may, prior to the first Payment Date after the Closing Date, use such funds on behalf of the Issuer for the purchase of additional Collateral Obligations until such time as S&P has provided written confirmation of its Initial Rating of the Notes (provided, that the amount of such transfer would not result in a default in the payment of interest with respect to the Secured Notes); provided that in lieu of complying with this clause (e), the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) may take such action, including but not limited to, a Special Redemption and/or transferring amounts from the Interest Collection Subaccount to the Principal Collection Subaccount as Principal Proceeds (for use in a Special Redemption or to acquire additional Collateral Obligations), sufficient to enable the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) to obtain written confirmation of its Initial Rating of the Notes from S&P.

-144-

(f) Approximately U.S.$2 million of the net proceeds of the issuance of the Notes will be deposited in the Ramp-Up Account on the Closing Date. At the direction of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer), the Trustee shall apply amounts held in the Ramp-Up Account to purchase additional Collateral Obligations and Principal Financed Accrued Interest, if any, from the Closing Date to and including the Effective Date as described in clause (b) above. If on the Effective Date, any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account have not been applied to purchase Collateral Obligations, such amounts shall be applied as described in Section 10.3(c).

(g) Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate; S&P CDO Monitor. On or prior to the Effective Date, the Collateral Manager will elect the S&P Minimum Weighted Average Recovery Rate that will apply on and after such date to the Collateral Obligations for purposes of determining compliance with the Minimum Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate Test, and the Collateral Manager will so notify the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator. Thereafter, at any time with written notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, to the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator and S&P, the Collateral Manager may elect a different S&P Minimum 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 Minimum Weighted Average Recovery Rate case then applicable to the Collateral Obligations but the Collateral Obligations would not be in compliance with the S&P Minimum 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 Minimum Weighted Average Recovery Rate case then applicable to the Collateral Obligations and would not be in compliance with any other S&P Minimum Weighted Average Recovery Rate case, the S&P Minimum Weighted Average Recovery Rate to apply to the Collateral Obligations shall be the lowest S&P Minimum Weighted Average Recovery Rate in Section 2 of Schedule 4. If the Collateral Manager does not notify the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator that it will alter the S&P Minimum Weighted Average Recovery Rate in the manner set forth in this Indenture, the S&P Minimum Weighted Average Recovery Rate chosen as of the Effective Date shall continue to apply.

(h) Compliance with the S&P CDO Monitor Test will be measured by the Collateral Manager on each Measurement Date on or after the Effective Date and on or prior to the last day of the Reinvestment Period; provided, however, that on each Measurement Date after receipt by the Issuer of the S&P CDO Monitor, the Collateral Manager will be required to provide to the Collateral Administrator a report on the portfolio of Collateral Obligations containing such information as shall be reasonably necessary to permit the Collateral Administrator to calculate the Class Default Differential with respect to the Highest Ranking Class on such Measurement Date. In the event that the Collateral Manager’s measurement of compliance and the Collateral Administrator’s measurement of compliance show different results, the Collateral Manager and the Collateral Administrator shall be required to cooperate promptly in order to reconcile such discrepancy.

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

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

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 a Responsible Officer’s certificate of the Collateral Manager as to whether the interests of any Holder of Securities would be materially and adversely affected by the modifications set forth in any supplemental indenture entered in pursuant to this Section 8.2, 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 or such Responsible Officer’s certificate. 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 or such a Responsible Officer’s certificate delivered to the Trustee as described herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Majority of any Class has provided written notice to the Trustee at least three Business Days prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture that such Class would be materially and adversely affected thereby (and setting forth in reasonable detail how such Class would be materially and adversely affected) and such Class is not being redeemed in connection with the execution of such supplemental indenture, the Trustee will not enter into such supplemental indenture without the consent of a Majority (or such greater percentage as may be required above) of such Class.

Section 8.3 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. (a) The Collateral Manager shall not be bound to follow any amendment or supplement to this Indenture unless it has consented thereto in accordance with this Article VIII. No amendment to this Indenture will be effective against the Collateral Administrator if such amendment would adversely affect the Collateral Administrator, including, without limitation, any amendment or supplement that would increase the duties or liabilities of, or adversely change the economic consequences to, the Collateral Administrator, unless the Collateral Administrator otherwise consents in writing.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision relating to supplemental indentures herein, at any time after the expiration of the Non-Call Period, if any Class of Securities has been or contemporaneously with the effectiveness of any supplemental indenture will be paid in full in accordance with this Indenture as so supplemented or amended, no consent of any Holder of such Class will be required with respect to such supplemental indenture.

-154-

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

(d) 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 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 shall not be liable for any reliance made in good faith upon such an Opinion of Counsel.

(e) At the cost of the Issuer, for so long as any Securities shall remain Outstanding, not later than ten (10) Business Days (or, in the case of a proposed supplemental indenture that effects a Refinancing, a Re-Pricing or an issuance of Additional Securities, five (5) Business Days) prior to the execution of any proposed supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall deliver to the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator, the Holders, the Rating Agency (if any Class of Outstanding Notes is then rated by the Rating Agency) and the Issuer, a copy of such supplemental indenture. The Trustee shall, at the expense of the Issuer, notify the Holders if the Rating Agency determines that such supplemental indenture will affect its rating of any Class rated by the Rating Agency. At the cost of the Issuer, the Trustee shall provide to the Holders (in the manner described in Section 14.4), the Rating Agency (if any Class of Outstanding Notes is then rated by the Rating Agency) and Euronext Dublin (for so long as any Notes are listed on Euronext Dublin and the guidelines of such exchange shall so require) 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 in any way impair or affect the validity of any such 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 the consent of any Holders to such proposed supplemental indenture is required, that such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article VIII or any other requirements set forth in this Indenture, in connection with a Refinancing of all Classes of Secured Notes, the Issuer and the Trustee 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 if (i) such supplemental indenture is effective on or after the date of such Refinancing, (ii) the Collateral Manager and a Majority of the Preferred Shares have consented to the execution of such supplemental indenture and (iii) such supplemental indenture does not, by its terms, modify the rights or terms applicable to any portion of the Preferred Shares in a manner intended to result in such rights or terms being materially different from any other portion of the Preferred Shares; provided further that with respect to any such supplemental indenture, a description of all material terms of such supplemental indenture was disclosed to the purchasers of the loans or replacement notes prior to the date of such Refinancing.

-155-

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article VIII, a supplemental indenture for which the Holders of each Outstanding Security of each Class have consented shall not require satisfaction of any timing requirements for prior notice of such supplemental indenture to any person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall subsequently provide to the Rating Agency then rating an Outstanding Class of Notes a copy of any supplemental indenture described in the immediately preceding sentence.

(i) Any amendment or supplement to this Indenture, will only be effective if none of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Retention Holder or any “sponsor” of the Issuer under the U.S. Risk Retention Rules fails to be in compliance with the U.S. Risk Retention Rules or the EU/UK Risk Retention Requirements as a result of such amendment or supplement unless such Person has consented to such amendment or supplement.

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 Securities theretofore and thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

Section 8.5 Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes authenticated and delivered as part of a transfer, exchange or replacement pursuant to Article II or Notes originally issued hereunder 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 Issuer shall so determine, new Notes, so modified as to conform in the opinion of the Issuer to any such supplemental indenture, may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

Section 8.6 Hedge Agreements. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no supplemental indenture, or other modification or amendment of this Indenture, may be entered into that permits the Issuer to enter into any hedge agreement unless (i) the written terms of the hedge agreement directly relate to the Collateral Obligations or the Securities and such hedge agreement reduces the interest rate and/or foreign exchange risks related to the Collateral Obligations or the Securities and (ii) the S&P Rating Condition is satisfied. For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer cannot enter into hedge agreements without such a modification.

ARTICLE IX

REDEMPTION OF SECURED NOTES

Section 9.1 Mandatory Redemption. If a Class C 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 to make payments on the Securities on the applicable Payment Date pursuant to the Priority of Payments (a “Mandatory Redemption”).

-156-

Section 9.2 Optional Redemption. (a) The Secured Notes shall be redeemable by the Issuer at the written direction of a Majority of the Preferred Shares (with the consent of the Collateral Manager) or at the direction of the Collateral Manager as follows: (i) in whole (with respect to all Classes of Secured Notes) but not in part on any Business Day after the end of the Non-Call Period from Sale Proceeds, Refinancing Proceeds and/or all other available funds or (ii) in part by Class (with respect to one or more entire Classes of Secured Notes designated by a Majority of the Preferred Shares) on any Business Day after the end of the Non-Call Period from Refinancing Proceeds and/or Partial Refinancing Interest Proceeds; provided that any redemption in part by Class will be in respect of the entire Class or Classes of Secured Notes. In connection with any such redemption, the Secured Notes shall be redeemed at the applicable Redemption Prices and a Majority of the Preferred Shares must provide the above described written direction to the Issuer and the Trustee not later than thirty (30) days (or, except in the case of a Refinancing, such shorter period of time, not to be less than five (5) Business Days, as the Trustee and the Collateral Manager find reasonably acceptable) prior to the Business Day on which such redemption is to be made; provided that all Secured Notes to be redeemed must be redeemed simultaneously.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of any redemption of Secured Notes in whole pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i), the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion shall direct the sale (and the manner thereof) of all or part of the Collateral Obligations and Eligible Investments in an amount such that the proceeds from such sale and all other funds available for such purpose in the Collection Account and the Payment Account will be at least sufficient to pay the Redemption Prices of the Secured Notes to be redeemed and to pay all Administrative Expenses (without regard to the Administrative Expense Cap) and Collateral Management Fee due and payable under the Priority of Payments. If such proceeds of such sale and all other funds available for such purpose in the Collection Account and the Payment Account would not be sufficient to redeem all Secured Notes and to pay such fees and expenses, the Secured Notes may not be redeemed. 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.

(c) In addition to (or in lieu of) a sale of Collateral Obligations and/or Eligible Investments in the manner provided above, the Issuer may redeem the Secured Notes with the consent of the Collateral Manager in whole from Refinancing Proceeds, Sale Proceeds and/or all other available funds, if any, or in part by Class (with respect to one or more entire Classes of Secured Notes designated by a Majority of the Preferred Shares) from Refinancing Proceeds and Partial Refinancing Interest Proceeds, in each case, by obtaining a loan or an issuance of replacement securities, whose terms in each case may be negotiated by the Issuer or, upon request of the Issuer, by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer, from one or more financial institutions or purchasers (any such redemption and refinancing, a “Refinancing”); provided that the terms of such Refinancing and any financial institutions acting as lenders thereunder or purchasers thereof must be acceptable to the Collateral Manager and a Majority of the Preferred Shares and such Refinancing must otherwise satisfy the conditions set forth below. Any loans or replacement securities issued in connection with a Refinancing will be offered first to the Collateral Manager and the Retention Holder, in such amount that the Collateral Manager or the Retention Holder has determined, in its sole discretion, is required for the U.S. Risk Retention Rules and EU/UK Risk Retention Requirements to be satisfied.

-157-

(d) In the case of a Refinancing of the Secured Notes in whole but not in part pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i), such Refinancing will be effective only if (i) the Refinancing Proceeds, all Sale Proceeds from the sale of Collateral Obligations and Eligible Investments in accordance with the procedures set forth herein, and all other available funds will be at least sufficient to redeem simultaneously the Secured Notes then required to be redeemed at the respective Redemption Prices thereof, in whole but not in part, and to pay all accrued and unpaid Administrative Expenses (without regard to the Administrative Expense Cap), including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Manager (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such Refinancing, (ii) any Sale Proceeds, Refinancing Proceeds and other available funds are used (to the extent necessary) to make such redemption, (iii) none of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Retention Holder or any “sponsor” of the Issuer under the U.S. Risk Retention Rules shall fail to be in compliance with the U.S. Risk Retention Rules or the EU/UK Risk Retention Requirements as a result of such Refinancing unless such Person has consented to such Refinancing, (iv) the agreements relating to the Refinancing contain limited recourse and non-petition provisions equivalent (mutatis mutandis) to those contained in Section 13.1(b) and Section 2.8(i) and (v) a written opinion of tax counsel of nationally recognized standing in the United States experienced in such matters, is delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Manager and the Trustee, to the effect that such Refinancing will not result in the Issuer becoming subject to U.S. federal income taxation with respect to its net income (including any tax liability imposed under Section 1446 of the Code), or result in the Issuer being treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the case of a Refinancing of Secured Notes, notice of such Refinancing shall be given as outlined in clause (g) below.

(e) In the case of a Refinancing of the Secured Notes in part by Class pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(ii), such Refinancing will be effective only if (i) the S&P Rating Condition has been satisfied with respect to any remaining Secured Notes that were not the subject of the Refinancing, (ii) the Refinancing Proceeds and the Partial Refinancing Interest Proceeds will be at least sufficient to pay in full the aggregate Redemption Prices of the entire Class or Classes of Secured Notes subject to Refinancing, (iii) the Refinancing Proceeds and the Partial Refinancing Interest Proceeds are used (to the extent necessary) 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 13.1(b) and Section 2.8(i), (v) the aggregate principal amount of any obligations providing the Refinancing is no greater than the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Secured Notes being redeemed with the proceeds of such obligations plus an amount equal to the reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred in connection with such Refinancing, (vi) the stated maturity of each class of obligations providing the Refinancing is no earlier than the corresponding Stated Maturity of each Class of Secured Notes being refinanced, (vii) the reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred in connection with such Refinancing have been paid or will be adequately provided for from the Refinancing Proceeds and Partial Refinancing Interest Proceeds (except for expenses owed to Persons that the Collateral Manager informs the Trustee will be paid solely as Administrative Expenses payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments; provided that any such fees due to the Trustee and determined by the Collateral Manager to be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments shall not be subject to the Administrative Expense Cap), (viii) the weighted average interest rate (based on the aggregate principal amount of the obligations providing the Refinancing and the Benchmark as in

-158-

effect in the Interest Accrual Period in which the notice of redemption is delivered) with respect to such obligations providing the Refinancing must not exceed the weighted average interest rate (based on the aggregate principal amount of each Class of Secured Notes subject to a Refinancing and the Benchmark as in effect in the Interest Accrual Period in which the notice of redemption is delivered) of the Class or Classes of Secured Notes that are being redeemed pursuant to such Refinancing; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that Floating Rate Secured Notes may be refinanced with notes or debt bearing a fixed rate of interest and Fixed Rate Notes may be refinanced with notes or debt bearing a floating rate of interest, (ix) the obligations providing the Refinancing are subject to the Priority of Payments and do not rank higher in priority pursuant to the Priority of Payments than the corresponding Class of Secured Notes being refinanced, (x) the voting rights, consent rights, redemption rights and all other rights of the obligations providing the Refinancing are the same as the rights of the corresponding Class of Secured Notes being refinanced, (xi) a Majority of the Preferred Shares directs the Issuer to effect such Refinancing, (xii) the Issuer has received a written opinion of tax counsel of nationally recognized standing in the United States experienced in such matters, to the effect that such Refinancing will not result in the Issuer becoming subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to its net income (including any tax liability imposed under Section 1446 of the Code), or result in the Issuer being treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (xiii) none of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Retention Holder or any “sponsor” of the Issuer under the U.S. Risk Retention Rules shall fail to be in compliance with the U.S. Risk Retention Rules or the EU/UK Risk Retention Requirements as a result of such Refinancing unless such Person has consented to such Refinancing.

(f) The holders of the Preferred Shares will not have any cause of action against the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator or the Trustee for any failure to obtain a Refinancing. Unless it otherwise consents, neither the Collateral Manager nor any Affiliate of the Collateral Manager shall be required to acquire any obligations or securities of the Issuer in connection with such Refinancing. If a Refinancing is obtained meeting the requirements specified above as certified by the Collateral Manager, the Issuer and the Trustee shall amend this Indenture to the extent necessary to reflect the terms of the Refinancing and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Article VIII hereof, no further consent for such amendments shall be required from the Holders of Securities other than the consent of a Majority of the Preferred Shares directing the redemption (including with respect to any related amendment providing that replacement securities issued in connection therewith will not be subject to any subsequent Refinancing). The Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment that, in its view, adversely affects its duties, obligations, liabilities or protections hereunder, and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel as to matters of law (which may be supported as to factual (including financial and capital markets) matters by any relevant certificates and other documents necessary or advisable in the judgment of counsel delivering such Opinion of Counsel) provided by the Issuer to the effect that such amendment meets the requirements specified above and is permitted under this Indenture (except that such officer or counsel shall have no obligation to certify or opine as to the sufficiency of the Refinancing Proceeds, or the sufficiency of the Accountants’ Report required hereunder).

(g) In the event of any Optional Redemption, the Issuer shall, at least five (5) Business Days (or 30 calendar days in the case of a Refinancing) prior to the Redemption Date, notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date, the applicable Record Date, the principal amount of Secured Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date and the applicable Redemption Prices. The failure to effect any Optional Redemption shall not constitute an Event of Default.

-159-

(h) In connection with any redemption of any Class of Secured Notes, Holders of 100% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of any such Class may elect to receive less than 100% of the Redemption Price that would otherwise be payable to the Holders of such Class.

(i) If a Class or Classes of Secured Notes is redeemed in connection with a Refinancing in part by Class, Refinancing Proceeds, together with Partial Refinancing Interest Proceeds, shall be used to pay the Redemption Price(s) of such Class or Classes of Secured Notes without regard to the Priority of Payments.

(j) The Preferred Shares may be redeemed by the Issuer at their Redemption Price (any such redemption, an “Optional Preferred Shares Redemption”), in whole but not in part, on any Business Day upon five (5) Business Days’ notice (or such shorter agreed period) to the Trustee on or after the redemption of the Secured Notes, at the direction of a Majority of the Preferred Shares (with the consent of the Collateral Manager) or at the direction of the Collateral Manager. If no funds are available to pay holders of the Preferred Shares pursuant hereto and to the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Issuer may redeem the Preferred Shares (in whole but not in part) for no consideration on any Redemption Date, on the Stated Maturity or upon an acceleration of the Notes as the result of an Event of Default.

(k) In connection with a Refinancing pursuant to which all Classes of Secured Notes are being refinanced, the Collateral Manager may, with the consent of a Majority of the Preferred Shares but without the consent of any other person, including any other Holder designate Principal Proceeds up to the Excess Par Amount as of the related Determination Date as Interest Proceeds for payment on the Redemption Date or up to the first Payment Date thereafter. Notice of any such designation will be provided to the Trustee (with copies to the Rating Agency) on or before the Business Day prior to the related Redemption Date.

Section 9.5 Secured Notes Payable on Redemption Date. (a) Notice of redemption pursuant to Section 9.4 having been given as aforesaid, the Secured Notes to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, subject to Section 9.4(e) and the Issuer’s right to withdraw any notice of redemption pursuant to Section 9.4(c), become due and payable at the Redemption Prices therein specified, and from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Prices and accrued interest) all such Secured Notes shall cease to bear interest on the Redemption Date. Upon final payment on a Secured Notes to be so redeemed, the Holder shall present and surrender such Note at the place specified in the notice of redemption on or prior to such Redemption Date; provided that if there is delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save such party harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such Secured Notes, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that the applicable Secured Notes has been acquired by a protected purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender.

(b) If any Secured Notes called for redemption shall not be paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal thereof shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the applicable Interest Rate for each successive Interest Accrual Period such Secured Notes remain Outstanding; provided that the reason for such non-payment is not the fault of such Holder.

(c) In the case of an Optional Redemption of the Class A Notes that occurs prior to the Make-Whole End Date, the Redemption Price of the Class A Notes shall include the Make-Whole Amount. No other Class shall be entitled to a make-whole payment.

Section 9.6 Special Redemption. Principal payments on the Secured Notes shall be made in part by the Issuer in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date (i) during the Reinvestment Period, if the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion notifies the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Special Redemption Date that it has been unable, for a period of at least twenty (20) consecutive Business Days, to identify additional Collateral Obligations that are deemed appropriate by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion in accordance with the Collateral Manager Standard 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 or (ii) after the Effective Date, if the Collateral Manager notifies the Trustee that a redemption is required pursuant to Section 7.18 in order to satisfy the Effective Date S&P Conditions (each of (i) and (ii), a “Special Redemption”). On the first Payment Date following the Collection Period in which

-163-

such notice is given (a “Special Redemption Date”), the amount in the Collection Account representing, as applicable, either (i) Principal Proceeds which the Collateral Manager has determined in its sole discretion in accordance with the Collateral Manager Standard cannot be reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations will be applied as described in clause (D) of the Priority of Principal Proceeds, or (ii) Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds available therefor will be applied to pay principal of the Secured Notes in accordance with the Note Payment Sequence as described in clause (H) of the Priority of Interest Proceeds and clause (B) of the Priority of Principal Proceeds (but in the case of the Priority of Principal Proceeds, only to the extent that the Collateral Manager does not direct that the Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds be allocated to the purchase of additional Collateral Obligations) until the Effective Date S&P Conditions have been satisfied (the applicable amount payable under clause (i) or (ii), the “Special Redemption Amount”) will be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Notice of a Special Redemption shall be given by the Trustee not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable Special Redemption Date (x) by email transmission, if available, and otherwise by facsimile, if available, or (y) by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities affected thereby at such Holder’s facsimile number, email address or mailing address in the Register (and, in the case of Global Notes, delivered by electronic transmission to DTC) or the Share Register, as applicable, and to the Rating Agency.

(a) On any Business Day after the Non-Call Period, at the written direction of a Majority of the Preferred Shares (with the consent of the Collateral Manager), the Issuer shall reduce the spread over the Benchmark (or, in the case of any Fixed Rate Notes, the stated rate of interest) with respect to any Class of Re-Pricing Eligible Notes (such reduction, a “Re-Pricing” and any Class of Re-Pricing Eligible Notes to be subject to a Re-Pricing, a “Re-Priced Class”); provided that the Issuer shall not effect any Re-Pricing unless each condition specified in this Section 9.7 is satisfied with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, no terms of any Secured Notes other than the Interest Rate applicable to the related Re-Priced Class may be modified or supplemented in connection with a Re-Pricing. In connection with any Re-Pricing, the Issuer may engage a broker-dealer (the “Re-Pricing Intermediary”) upon the recommendation and subject to the approval of (i) a Majority of the Preferred Shares and (ii) the Collateral Manager and such Re-Pricing Intermediary shall assist the Issuer in effecting the Re-Pricing.

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

(i) specify the proposed Re-Pricing Date and the revised Interest Rate to be applied with respect to such Class (the “Re-Pricing Rate”);

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

-164-

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

The Trustee shall also arrange for such notice to be delivered to Euronext Dublin so long as any Notes are listed thereon and so long as the guidelines of such exchange so require.

(c) In the event any Holders of the Re-Priced Class do not deliver written consent to the proposed Re-Pricing on or before the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed Re-Pricing Date, the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, shall deliver written notice thereof to the Trustee (who shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to the consenting Holders of the Re-Priced Class), specifying the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Secured Notes of the Re-Priced Class held by such non-consenting Holders, and shall request that each such consenting Holder provide written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager and the Re-Pricing Intermediary if such Holder would like to purchase all or any portion of the Secured Notes of the Re-Priced Class held by the non-consenting Holders (each such notice, an “Exercise Notice”) within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice. In the event the Issuer shall receive Exercise Notices with respect to more than the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Secured Notes of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders, the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, shall cause the sale and transfer of such Secured Notes, without further notice to the non-consenting Holders thereof (for settlement on the Re-Pricing Date) to the Holders delivering Exercise Notices with respect thereto, pro rata based on the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Secured Notes such Holders indicated an interest in purchasing pursuant to their Exercise Notices. In the event the Issuer shall receive Exercise Notices with respect to less than the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Secured Notes of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders, the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, shall cause the sale and transfer of such Secured Notes, without further notice to the non-consenting Holders thereof, for settlement on the Re-Pricing Date to the Holders delivering Exercise Notices with respect thereto, and any excess Secured Notes of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders shall be sold (for settlement on the Re-Pricing Date) to one or more transferees designated by the Re-Pricing Intermediary and consented to by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer. All sales of Re-Pricing Eligible Notes to be effected pursuant to this clause (c) shall be made at the applicable Redemption Price after giving effect on a pro forma basis to all payments to be made pursuant to the Priority of Payments on the Re-Pricing Date if such date is a Payment Date, and shall be effected only if the related Re-Pricing is effected in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Holder of each Re-Pricing Eligible Notes, by its acceptance of an interest in the Re-Pricing Eligible Notes, agrees that the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, may enter into binding commitments to sell and transfer all Re-Pricing Eligible Notes of a Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders in accordance with this Section 9.7 and, if it is a non-consenting Holder, hereby irrevocably appoints the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with such sale and transfer, and agrees to sell and transfer its Secured Notes in accordance with this Section 9.7 and to cooperate with the Issuer, the Re-Pricing Intermediary and the Trustee to effect such sale and transfers. The Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, shall deliver written notice to the Trustee and the Collateral Manager not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed Re-Pricing Date confirming that the Issuer has received written commitments to purchase all Secured Notes of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, such Re-Pricing will apply to all the Secured Notes of the Re-Priced Class, including the Secured Notes of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders.

-165-

(d) The Issuer shall not effect any proposed Re-Pricing unless: (i) with the consent of a Majority of the Preferred Shares and the Collateral Manager, the Issuer and the Trustee shall have entered into a supplemental indenture, dated as of the Re-Pricing Date solely to decrease the spread over the Benchmark (or, in the case of any Fixed Rate Notes, the stated rate of interest) applicable to the Re-Priced Class; (ii) the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, has received written commitments to purchase all Secured Notes of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders; (iii) the Rating Agency shall have been notified of such Re-Pricing; (iv) the Issuer has received a written opinion of tax counsel of nationally recognized standing in the United States experienced in such matters, to the effect that such Re-Pricing will not result in the Issuer becoming subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to its net income (including any tax liability imposed under Section 1446 of the Code), or result in the Issuer being treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (v) all expenses of the Issuer and the Trustee (including the fees of the Re-Pricing Intermediary and fees of counsel) incurred in connection with the Re-Pricing shall not exceed the amount of Interest Proceeds expected to be available after taking into account all amounts required to be paid pursuant to the Priority of Payments on the subsequent Payment Date prior to distributions to the Holders of the Preferred Shares, unless such expenses shall have been paid (including from proceeds of any additional issuance of Preferred Shares) or shall be adequately provided for by an entity other than the Issuer; and (vi) none of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Retention Holder or any “sponsor” of the Issuer under the U.S. Risk Retention Rules fails to be in compliance with the U.S. Risk Retention Rules or the EU/UK Risk Retention Requirements as a result of such Re-Pricing unless such Person has consented to such Re-Pricing. Unless it otherwise consents, none of the Collateral Manager, the Retention Holder nor any of their Affiliates shall be required to acquire any obligations or securities of the Issuer in connection with such Re-Pricing.

(e) If notice has been received by the Trustee from the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, confirming that the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, has received written commitments to purchase all Secured Notes of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders, notice of a Re-Pricing shall be given by the Trustee by email transmission, if available, and by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Re-Pricing Date, to each Holder of Secured Notes of the Re-Priced Class at the address in the Register (and, in the case of Global Notes, delivered by electronic transmission to DTC) (with a copy to the Collateral Manager), specifying the applicable Re-Pricing Date and Re-Pricing Rate. Notice of Re-Pricing shall be given by the Trustee at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give a notice of Re-Pricing, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Re-Priced Class shall not impair or affect the validity of the Re-Pricing or give rise to any claim based upon such failure or defect. Any notice of a Re-Pricing may be withdrawn by a Majority of the Preferred Shares on or prior to the fourth Business Day prior to the scheduled Re-Pricing Date by written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager for any reason. Upon receipt of such notice of withdrawal, the Trustee shall send such notice to the Holders of Secured Notes and the Rating Agency. In addition, for so long as any Notes are listed on Euronext Dublin and so long as the guidelines of such exchange so require, notice of the Re-Pricing shall be given by the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, to Euronext Dublin.

-166-

(f) The Issuer shall direct the Trustee to segregate payments and take other reasonable steps to effect the Re-Pricing and the Trustee shall have the authority to take such actions as may be directed by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager as the Issuer (or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer) or Collateral Manager shall deem necessary or desirable to effect a Re-Pricing. In order to give effect to the Re-Pricing, the Issuer may, to the extent necessary or desirable, obtain and assign a separate CUSIP or CUSIPs to the Secured Notes of each Class held by such consenting or non-consenting Holder(s). The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the Re-Pricing is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been complied with. The Trustee may request and rely on an Issuer Order providing direction and any additional information requested by the Trustee in order to effect a Re-Pricing.

Section 9.8 Clean-Up Call Redemption. (a) At the written direction of the Collateral Manager to the Issuer and the Trustee, with a copy to the Rating Agency, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed Redemption Date, the Secured Notes shall be subject to redemption by the Issuer, in whole but not in part, at the applicable Redemption Price, on any Business Day after the Non-Call Period on which the Collateral Principal Amount is less than 10% of the Target Initial Par Amount (a “Clean-Up Call Redemption”).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Secured Notes shall not be redeemed pursuant to a Clean-Up Call Redemption unless (i) at least five (5) 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 to sell to a financial or other institution or institutions not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Redemption Date, all or part of the Collateral Obligations 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, to pay all Administrative Expenses and other fees and expenses payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments (without regard to the Administrative Expense Cap) prior to the payment of the principal of the Secured Notes to be redeemed and redeem all of the Secured Notes on the scheduled Redemption Date at the applicable Redemption Price, or (ii) prior to selling any Collateral Obligations and/or Eligible Investments, the Collateral Manager shall certify to the Trustee in a certificate of a Responsible Officer upon which the Trustee can conclusively rely that, in its judgment (which may be based on the Issuer having entered into an agreement to sell such Assets to another special purpose entity that has committed financing or that has priced but has not yet closed its securities offering if such securities offering is expected to close on or prior to the scheduled Redemption Date), the aggregate sum of (A) any expected proceeds from the sale of Eligible Investments and (B) for each Collateral Obligation, the Market Value thereof, shall equal or exceed the Redemption Price of the Secured Notes. Any certification delivered by the Collateral Manager pursuant to this Section 9.8 shall include (1) the prices of, and expected proceeds from, the sale (directly or by participation or other arrangement) of any Collateral Obligations and/or Eligible Investments and (2) all calculations required by this Section 9.8.

-167-

(c) Upon receipt from the Collateral Manager of a direction in writing to effect a Clean-Up Call Redemption, the Issuer will set the related Redemption Date and the Record Date and give written notice thereof to the Trustee, the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Manager and the Rating Agency not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed Redemption Date. A notice of redemption will be given by email, if available, and by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities, at such Holder’s address in Register (and, in the case of Global Notes, delivered by electronic transmission to DTC) or the Share Register, as applicable, and the Rating Agency.

(d) Any notice of a Clean-Up Call Redemption may be withdrawn by the Issuer (or by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) up to (and including) the fourth Business Day prior to the related Redemption Date by written notice to the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent and the Rating Agency (if the Secured Notes remain Outstanding) only if the Collateral Manager has not delivered the sale agreement or agreements or certifications as described in Section 9.8(b) in form satisfactory to the Trustee.

(e) The Trustee will give notice of any such withdrawal of a Clean-Up Call Redemption, at the expense of the Issuer, to each Holder of Securities that was to be redeemed at such holder’s address in the Register or Share Register, as applicable, by overnight courier guaranteeing next day delivery not later than the third Business Day prior to the related scheduled Redemption Date.

(f) On the Redemption Date related to any Clean-Up Call Redemption, the Redemption Price for the Secured Notes will be distributed pursuant to the Priority of Payments.

ACCOUNTS, ACCOUNTINGS AND RELEASES

Section 10.1 Collection of Funds. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all amounts and other property payable to or receivable by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, including all payments due on the Assets, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Assets. The Trustee shall segregate and hold all such amounts and property received by it in trust for the Holders of the Securities and shall apply it as provided herein. Each Account shall be established and maintained (a) with a federal or state-chartered depository institution that has a short-term debt rating of at least “A-1” and a long-term issuer credit rating of at least “A” (or, in the absence of a short-term debt rating, a long-term issuer credit rating of at least “A+”) by S&P or (b) in segregated trust accounts with the corporate trust department of a federal or state-chartered deposit institution that has a short-term debt rating of at least “A-1” and a long-term issuer credit rating of at least “A” (or, in the absence of a short-term debt rating, a long-term issuer credit rating of at least “A+”) by S&P and is subject to regulations regarding fiduciary funds on deposit similar to Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 9.10(b) (an “Eligible Institution”) and, in each case, if such institution’s rating falls below any such rating threshold, the assets held in such Account shall be moved within 30 calendar days to another institution that satisfies those ratings. Such institution

-168-

shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$200,000,000. All Cash deposited in the Accounts shall be invested only in Eligible Investments or Collateral Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. To avoid the consolidation of the Assets of the Issuer with the general assets of the Bank under any circumstances, the Trustee shall comply, and shall cause the Custodian to comply, with all law applicable to it as a Massachusetts trust company holding segregated trust assets in a fiduciary capacity. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall not credit or otherwise deposit Excluded Property into any Account.

Section 10.2 Collection Account. (a) In accordance with this Indenture and the Account Agreement, the Issuer shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause the Trustee to establish at the Custodian two segregated trust accounts, one of which will be designated the “Interest Collection Subaccount” and one of which will be designated the “Principal Collection Subaccount” (and which together will comprise the Collection Account), each held in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties and each of which shall be maintained with the Custodian in accordance with the Account Agreement. The Trustee shall from time to time deposit into the Interest Collection Subaccount, in addition to the deposits required pursuant to Section 10.6(a), immediately upon receipt thereof or upon transfer from the Payment Account, all Interest Proceeds (unless simultaneously reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations in accordance with Article XII). The Trustee shall deposit immediately upon receipt thereof or upon transfer from the Expense Reserve Account, the Ramp-Up Account or Revolver Funding Account all other amounts remitted to the Collection Account into the Principal Collection Subaccount (or solely with respect to amounts transferred from the Expense Reserve Account and/or the Ramp-Up Account that are designated as Interest Proceeds pursuant to Section 10.3(c) or Section 10.3(d), to the Interest Collection Subaccount), including in addition to the deposits required pursuant to Section 10.6(a), (i) any funds designated as Principal Proceeds by the Collateral Manager in accordance with this Indenture and (ii) all other Principal Proceeds (unless simultaneously reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations in accordance with Article XII or in Eligible Investments). The Issuer may, but under no circumstances shall be required to, deposit from time to time into the Collection Account, in addition to any amount required hereunder to be deposited therein, such amounts received from external sources for the benefit of the Secured Parties or the Issuer (other than payments on or in respect of the Collateral Obligations, Eligible Investments or other existing Assets) as the Issuer deems, in its sole discretion, to be advisable and to designate them as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds. All amounts 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 the Issuer and the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, within five (5) Business Days after 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 and deposit the proceeds thereof in the Collection Account; provided that the Issuer (i) need not sell such distributions or other proceeds if it delivers an Issuer Order or 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 will sell such distribution within such two-year period and (y) retaining such distribution is not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.

-169-

(c) At any time when reinvestment is permitted pursuant to Article XII, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may by Issuer Order direct the Trustee to, and upon receipt of such Issuer Order the Trustee shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount representing Principal Proceeds (together with any Principal Financed Accrued Interest) and reinvest (or invest, in the case of funds referred to in Section 7.18) such funds in additional Collateral Obligations, in each case in accordance with the requirements of Article XII and such Issuer Order. At any time, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may by Issuer Order direct the Trustee to, and upon receipt of such Issuer Order the Trustee shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount representing Principal Proceeds and deposit such funds in the Revolver Funding Account to meet funding requirements on Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations or Revolving Collateral Obligations.

(d) The Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may by Issuer Order direct the Trustee to, and upon receipt of such Issuer Order the Trustee shall, pay from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on any Business Day during any Interest Accrual Period (i) any amount required to purchase additional Collateral Obligations or to exercise a warrant or right to acquire securities held in the Assets in accordance with the requirements of Article XII and such Issuer Order; provided that (x) any payment to acquire additional Collateral Obligations shall be made from Principal Proceeds (and Interest Proceeds but only to the extent used to pay for accrued interest on an additional Collateral Obligation or Interest Proceeds that have been designated as Principal Proceeds in accordance with the definition of “Interest Proceeds”) and (y) any payment to acquire Workout Loans, Equity Securities or to exercise a warrant or right to acquire securities held in the Assets shall be made from Interest Proceeds only (including Contributions treated as Interest Proceeds), and (ii) from Interest Proceeds only, any Administrative Expenses (such payments to be counted against the Administrative Expense Cap for the applicable period and to be subject to the order of priority as stated in the definition of Administrative Expenses); 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 Payment Date; provided further 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 pursuant to this Section 10.2 on any day other than a Payment Date if, in its reasonable determination, the payment of such amount is likely to leave insufficient funds available to pay in full each of the items described in clause (A) of the Priority of Interest Proceeds as reasonably anticipated to be or become due and payable on the next Payment Date, taking into account the Administrative Expense Cap.

(e) The Trustee shall transfer to the Payment Account, from the Collection Account for application pursuant to Section 11.1(a), on the Business Day immediately preceding each Payment Date, the amount set forth to be so transferred in the Distribution Report for such Payment Date.

(f) In connection with a Refinancing in part by Class of one or more Classes of Secured Notes, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may direct the Trustee to apply Partial Refinancing Interest Proceeds from the Interest Collection Subaccount on the date of a Refinancing of one or more Classes of Secured Notes to the payment of the Redemption Price(s) of the Class or Classes of Secured Notes subject to Refinancing without regard to the Priority of Payments.

-170-

(g) On or before the second Determination Date after the Closing Date, so long as (1) the Target Initial Par Condition has been satisfied and would be satisfied after such transfer, (2) the S&P Rating Condition is satisfied, (3) each Overcollateralization Ratio Test would be satisfied after transferring such amounts and (4) all Collateral Quality Tests and Concentration Limitations would be satisfied after transferring such amounts, the Trustee, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, may either (x) transfer Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account and/or in the Ramp-Up Account into the Collection Account as Interest Proceeds or (y) distribute such amounts directly to the Holders of the Preferred Shares designated by the Collateral Manager (in its sole discretion) on any Business Day after the Effective Date, so long as such distribution would not cause the deferral of interest on any Class of Secured Notes on the immediately succeeding Payment Date on a pro forma basis, as determined by the Collateral Manager in its commercially reasonable judgment; provided that such transfers in the aggregate are not greater than 1.0% of the Target Initial Par Amount (such amounts that may be designated as Interest Proceeds, the “Designated Principal Proceeds”).

Section 10.3 Transaction Accounts.

(a) Payment Account. In accordance with this Indenture and the Account Agreement, the Issuer shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause the Trustee to establish at the Custodian a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account held in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated as the Payment Account, which shall be maintained with the Custodian in accordance with the Account 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 on the Securities in accordance with their terms and the provisions of this Indenture and, upon Issuer Order, to pay Administrative Expenses, fees and other amounts due and owing to the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement and other amounts specified herein, each in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Issuer shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Payment Account other than in accordance with this Indenture (including the Priority of Payments) and the Account Agreement. Amounts in the Payment Account shall remain uninvested.

(b) Custodial Account. In accordance with this Indenture and the Account Agreement, the Issuer shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause the Trustee to establish at the Custodian a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account held in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated as the Custodial Account, which shall be maintained with the Custodian in accordance with the Account Agreement. All Collateral Obligations shall be credited to the Custodial Account. The only permitted withdrawals from the Custodial Account shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee agrees to give the Issuer immediate notice if (to the actual knowledge of a Trust Officer of the Trustee) the Custodial Account or any assets or securities on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Custodial Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. The Issuer shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Custodial Account other than in accordance with this Indenture and the Priority of Payments.

-171-

(c) Ramp-Up Account. In accordance with this Indenture and the Account Agreement, the Trustee shall, if directed to do so by the Issuer, prior to the Closing Date, establish at the Custodian a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account held in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated as the Ramp-Up Account, which shall be maintained with the Custodian in accordance with the Account Agreement. The Issuer shall direct the Trustee to deposit the amount specified in the Issuer Order delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(xi) to the Ramp-Up Account on the Closing Date. In connection with any purchase of an additional Collateral Obligation, the Trustee will apply amounts held in the Ramp-Up Account as provided by Section 7.18(b) and Section 7.18(f). Any income earned on amounts deposited in the Ramp-Up Account will be deposited in the Interest Collection Subaccount. Upon the occurrence of an Enforcement Event (and excluding any amounts that will be used to settle binding commitments entered into prior to such date), the Trustee will deposit any remaining amounts in the Ramp-Up Account into the Principal Collection Subaccount as Principal Proceeds. On the Effective Date (and excluding any amounts that will be used to settle binding commitments entered into prior to such date), the Collateral Manager will direct the Trustee to deposit from amounts remaining in the Ramp-Up Account into the Principal Collection Subaccount as Principal Proceeds. On or before the second Determination Date the Trustee, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, will transfer amounts remaining in the Ramp-Up Account into the Collection Account as Interest Proceeds, as described in Section 10.2(g). All other amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account will be deemed to represent Principal Proceeds. Any amounts remaining in the Ramp-Up Account on the third Determination Date (excluding any proceeds that will be used to settle binding commitments entered into prior to that date) after giving effect to the Designated Principal Proceeds shall be deposited into the Collection Account as Principal Proceeds.

(d) Expense Reserve Account. In accordance with this Indenture and the Account Agreement, the Issuer shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause the Trustee to establish at the Custodian a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account held in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated as the Expense Reserve Account, which shall be maintained with the Custodian in accordance with the Account Agreement. The Issuer shall direct the Trustee to deposit the amount specified in the Issuer Order delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(xi) to the Expense Reserve Account. On any Business Day from the Closing Date up to the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the first Payment Date following the Closing Date, the Trustee shall apply funds from the Expense Reserve Account, as directed by the Collateral Manager, (i) to pay expenses of the Issuer incurred in connection with the establishment of the Issuer, the structuring and consummation of the Offering and the issuance of the Securities or (ii) to the Collection Account as Principal Proceeds (or, prior to the Effective Date, the Ramp-Up Account) or (solely in respect of the first Payment Date) as Interest Proceeds. By the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the first Payment Date following the Closing Date, all funds in the Expense Reserve Account (after deducting any expenses paid on such Payment Date) will be deposited in the Collection Account as Principal Proceeds and/or Interest Proceeds and the Expense Reserve Account will be closed. Thereafter, amounts may be deposited into the Expense Reserve Account in connection with the issuance of Additional Securities and the Trustee shall apply such funds from the Expense Reserve Account, as directed by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer, as needed to pay expenses of the Issuer incurred in connection with such additional issuance or as a deposit into the Collection Account as Principal Proceeds or Interest Proceeds (solely with respect to the first Payment Date following such additional issuance). Any income earned on amounts deposited in the Expense Reserve Account will be deposited in the Interest Collection Subaccount as Interest Proceeds as it is received.

-172-

(e) Interest Reserve Account. In accordance with this Indenture and the Account Agreement, the Trustee shall, if directed to do so by the Issuer, prior to the Closing Date, establish a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account held in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, designated as the “Interest Reserve Account”. The Issuer shall direct the Trustee to make the deposit specified in the Issuer Order delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(xi) to the Interest Reserve Account. Such Interest Reserve Amount shall be transferred to the Collection Account as Interest Proceeds on the Determination Date relating to the first Payment Date unless the Collateral Manager, in its discretion, provides written notice to the Trustee that such Interest Reserve Amount shall not be so transferred and should instead be held in the Interest Reserve Account for application in accordance with this Section 10.3(e). The only permitted withdrawals from or application of funds or property on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including: (i) prior to the second Payment Date, at the discretion of the Collateral Manager, to the Collection Account as Interest Proceeds or to the Collection Account (or, prior to the Effective Date, the Ramp-Up Account) as Principal Proceeds (as designated by the Collateral Manager), and (ii) amounts remaining in the Interest Reserve Account after the second Payment Date shall be transferred to the Collection Account as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds (as designated by the Collateral Manager).

Section 10.4 The Revolver Funding Account. Upon the purchase or acquisition of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation identified by written notice to the Trustee, funds in an amount equal to the undrawn portion of such obligation shall be withdrawn from the Ramp-Up Account and/or from the Principal Collection Subaccount (at the direction of the Collateral Manager) and deposited by the Trustee in a single, segregated trust account established (in accordance with this Indenture and the Account Agreement) at the Custodian and held in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties (the “Revolver Funding Account”). Upon initial purchase or acquisition of any such obligations, funds deposited in the Revolver Funding Account in respect of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation will be treated as part of the purchase price therefor. Amounts on deposit in the Revolver Funding Account will be invested in overnight funds that are Eligible Investments selected by the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 10.6 and earnings from all such investments will be deposited in the Interest Collection Subaccount as Interest Proceeds. All other amounts held in the Revolver Funding Account will be deemed to represent Principal Proceeds.

The Issuer shall, at all times maintain sufficient funds on deposit in the Revolver Funding Account such that the sum of the amount of funds on deposit in the Revolver Funding Account shall be equal to or greater than the sum of the unfunded funding obligations under all such Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations and Revolving Collateral Obligations then included in the Assets. Funds shall be deposited in the Revolver Funding Account upon the purchase of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation and upon the receipt by the Issuer of any Principal Proceeds with respect to a Revolving Collateral Obligation as directed by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer. In the event of any shortfall in the Revolver Funding Account, the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer) may direct the Trustee to, and the Trustee thereafter shall, transfer funds in an amount equal to such shortfall from the Principal Collection Subaccount to the Revolver Funding Account.

Any funds in the Revolver Funding Account (other than earnings from Eligible Investments therein) will be treated as Principal Proceeds and will be available solely to cover any drawdowns on the Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations and Revolving Collateral Obligations; provided that any excess of (A) the amounts on deposit in the Revolver Funding Account over (B) the sum of the unfunded funding obligations under all Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations and Revolving Collateral Obligations that are included in the Assets (which excess may occur for any reason, including upon (i) the sale or maturity of a Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation, (ii) the occurrence of an event of default with respect to any such Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation or (iii) 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) may be transferred by the Trustee (at the written direction of the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) from time to time as Principal Proceeds to the Principal Collection Subaccount.

Section 10.5 Contributions. At any time, the holders of the Preferred Shares may, but shall not be required to, make contributions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, to acquire any Workout Loan or Equity Security) (each, a “Contribution”) of cash, Eligible Investments, or Collateral Obligations to the Issuer for any purpose; provided, that, other than Contributions made before the first Payment Date, (x) any Contributions shall be in an amount of at least U.S.$500,000 (counting all Contributions made on the same day as a single Contribution for this purpose) and (y) unless otherwise consented to by a Majority of the Controlling Class, not more than three Contributions (counting all Contributions made on the same day as a single Contribution for such purpose) may be made in the aggregate since the first Payment Date after the Closing Date. Cash contributions may be treated as Interest Proceeds if so directed by the holders of a Majority of the Preferred Shares (i) where necessary to cure or prevent any default or to permit the Interest Coverage Test to be satisfied, or if not satisfied, maintained or improved or (ii) to acquire a Workout Loan or Equity Security, and otherwise will be treated as Principal Proceeds, it being understood that any such direction shall be irrevocable. No Contribution or portion thereof will be returned to the contributor at any time (other than by operation of the Priority of Payments). The Monthly Report will be required to include the details of any contributions on a dedicated page.

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 Interest Reserve Account and the Expense Reserve Account, as so directed in Eligible Investments having stated maturities no later than the Business Day preceding the next Payment 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 from the Collateral Manager within three (3) Business Days after transfer of any funds to such accounts. In the absence of written investment instructions (which may be in the form of standing instructions), the Trustee shall hold such funds uninvested. Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise herein, all interest and other income

-174-

from such investments shall be deposited in the Interest Collection Subaccount, any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the Principal Collection Subaccount upon receipt, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Principal Collection Subaccount. The 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 nothing herein shall relieve the Bank of (i) its obligations or liabilities under any security or obligation issued by the Bank or any Affiliate thereof or (ii) liability for any loss resulting from gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud on the part of the Bank or any Affiliate thereof.

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 the Issuer or the equity owners of the Issuer). The Issuer is required to provide to the Bank, in its capacity as Trustee, (i) an IRS Form W-9 or an applicable IRS Form W-8 (together with all applicable attachments), or any successors to such IRS forms, 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 (a) to reduce or eliminate the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes and (b) to 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 or applicable IRS Form W-8 (together with all applicable attachments), or any successors to such IRS forms, 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.

(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.

(c) The Trustee shall supply, in a timely fashion, to the Issuer, the Rating Agency, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Manager any information regularly maintained by the Trustee that the Issuer, the Rating Agency, the Collateral Administrator or the Collateral Manager may from time to time reasonably request with respect to the Assets, 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 or to permit the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations under the Collateral Management Agreement or the Issuer’s obligations hereunder that have been delegated to the Collateral Manager. The Trustee shall promptly forward to the Collateral Manager copies of notices and other writings received by it from the obligor or issuer of any Asset or from any Clearing Agency with respect to any Asset which notices or writings advise the holders of such Asset 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 received from such obligor or issuer and Clearing Agencies with respect to such issuer.
