Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture to provide for the Notes issuable as provided in this Indenture.  All covenants and agreements made by the Issuer and Co-Issuer herein are for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties.  The Issuer, the Co-Issuer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in its capacity other than as Trustee, and the Advancing Agent are entering into this Indenture, and the Trustee is accepting the trusts created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

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

GRANTING CLAUSES

Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Indenture, this Indenture shall constitute a security agreement under the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein, for the benefit of the Noteholders and each Hedge Counterparty.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default hereunder, and in addition to any other rights available under this Indenture or any other Assets held for the benefit and security of the Noteholders and each Hedge Counterparty or otherwise available at law or in equity but subject to the terms hereof, the Trustee shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the laws of the State of New York and other applicable law to enforce the assignments and security interests contained herein and, in addition, shall have the right, subject to compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law and the terms of this Indenture, to sell or apply any rights and other interests assigned or pledged hereby in accordance with the terms hereof at public and private sale.

The Trustee acknowledges such Grants, accepts the trusts hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, and agrees to perform the duties herein in accordance with, and subject to, the terms hereof, in order that the interests of the Secured Parties may be adequately and effectively protected in accordance with this Indenture.

(ii)with respect to a Loan, if a foreclosure or default (whether or not declared) with respect to the related commercial mortgage loan has occurred; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, a Loan shall not be deemed to be a Defaulted Security as a result of (1) the related borrower’s failure to pay interest on such Loan or on the related commercial mortgage loan on the initial due date therefor, if the related lender or holder of such Loan or the related commercial mortgage loan consents to extend the due date when such interest is due and payable, and such interest is paid on or before such extended due date (provided that such interest is paid not more than 60 days (or if the due date for such interest was previously so extended, not more than 30 days) after the initial date that it was due), or (2) the related borrower’s failure to pay principal on such Loan or the related commercial mortgage loan on the original maturity date thereof (as defined below), if the related lender or holder of such Loan or the related commercial mortgage loan consents to extend such maturity date (so long as the Maturity Extension Requirements are met) and such principal is paid on or before such extended maturity date, or (3) the occurrence of any default (other

26

than a payment default) with respect to such Loan or the related commercial mortgage loan, unless and until the earlier of (A) declaration of default and acceleration of the maturity of the Loan by the lender or holder thereof and (B) the continuance of such default uncured for 60 days after such default became known to the Issuer or the Collateral Manager or, subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, such longer period as the Collateral Manager determines.  As used herein, the term “original maturity date” means the maturity date of a Loan or the related commercial mortgage loan as extended by all extensions thereof which the related borrower had the right to elect and did elect under the terms of the instruments and agreements relating to such Loan or the related commercial mortgage loan, but before taking into account any additional extensions thereof that are consented to by the lender or holder of such Loan or the related commercial mortgage loan; and

(iii)with respect to a CMBS Security, CRE CDO Security or REIT Debt Security (1) as to which there has occurred and is continuing a principal payment default (without giving effect to any applicable grace period or waiver) or (2) as to which there is known to the Issuer or the Collateral Manager a default (other than any payment default) which default entitles the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity of all or a portion of the principal amount of such obligation; provided, however, in each case, if such default is cured or waived then such asset shall no longer be a Defaulted Security or (3) as to which there is known to the Collateral Manager that (A) any bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceeding has been initiated in connection with the issuer of such CMBS Security, CRE CDO Security or REIT Debt Security, or (B) there has been proposed or effected any distressed exchange or other debt re-structuring where the issuer of such CMBS Security, CRE CDO Security or REIT Debt Security has offered the debt holders a new security or package of securities that either (x) amounts to a diminished financial obligation or (y) has the purpose of helping the issuer to avoid default, or (4) that has been rated “CC”, “D” or “SD” or below by S&P, “CC” or below by Fitch, or “Ca” or “C” by Moody’s, or with respect to REIT Debt Securities, the issuer of which has a credit rating of “D” or “SD” or as to which S&P has withdrawn its rating or (5) as to which there is known to the Collateral Manager that the issuer thereof is in default (without giving effect to any applicable grace period or waiver) as to payment of principal and/or interest on another obligation (and such default has not been cured or waived) which is senior or pari passu in right of payment to such CMBS Security, CRE CDO Security or REIT Debt Security, except that a CMBS Security, CRE CDO Security or REIT Debt Security will not constitute a “Defaulted Security” under this clause (5) if each of the Rating Agencies has confirmed in writing that such event shall not result in the reduction, qualification or withdrawal of any rating of the Notes; or (6) (A) as to which there has been a failure to pay interest in whole or in part for the lesser of (x) six months or (y) three payment periods (if such CMBS Security, CRE CDO Security or REIT Debt Security is rated (or privately rated for purposes of the issuance of the Securities) below “Baa3” by Moody’s or “BBB-” by S&P or Fitch); provided, however, if the Rating Agency Condition for such CMBS Security, CRE CDO Security or REIT Debt Security is satisfied with

27

respect to S&P and Moody’s, the Collateral Manager may choose not to treat such a CMBS Security, CRE CDO Security or REIT Debt Security as a Defaulted Security or (B) as to which there has been a failure to pay interest in whole or in part for the lesser of (x) one year or (y) six consecutive payment periods (if such CMBS Security, CRE CDO Security or REIT Debt Security is rated (or privately rated for purposes of the issuance of the Securities) “BBB-” or higher by S&P or Fitch, or “Baa3” or higher by Moody’s) even if by its terms it provides for the deferral and capitalization of interest thereon.

providedthat any Collateral Debt Security which has sustained a write-down of principal balance in accordance with its terms will not necessarily be considered a Defaulted Security solely due to such writedown.

For purposes of calculating the Par Value Ratios, an appraisal reduction of a Collateral Debt Security will be assumed to result in an implied reduction of principal balance for such Collateral Debt Security only if such appraisal reduction is intended to reduce the interest payable on such Collateral Debt Security and only in proportion to such interest reduction.  For purposes of the Par Value Ratios, any Collateral Debt Security that has sustained an implied reduction of principal balance due to an appraisal reduction will not be considered a Defaulted Security solely due to such implied reduction.  The Collateral Manager will notify the Trustee of any appraisal reductions of Collateral Debt Securities if the Collateral Manager has actual knowledge thereof.

For purposes of the definition of “Defaulted Security,” the “Maturity Extension Requirements” will be satisfied with respect to any extension if the maturity date is extended (i) in the case of Loans other than ARD Loans, to a new maturity date that is (A) not more than two (2) years after the original maturity date and (B) not less than ten years prior to the Stated Maturity and (ii) in the case of ARD Loans, such that (A) the anticipated repayment date will not be less than 15 years prior to the Stated Maturity and (B) the new maturity date is not less than six (6) months prior to the Stated Maturity; provided, however, that notwithstanding the requirements in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), “Maturity Extension Requirements” will be deemed satisfied with respect to any extensions as to which the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto understand and agree that any initial permissible 60 day extension period described in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this definition shall in no event be combined with any subsequent permissible 30 day extension period described in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this definition.

28

Section 1.2Assumptions as to Pledged Obligations.

(a)In connection with all calculations required to be made pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Scheduled Distributions on any Pledged Obligation, or any payments on any other assets included in the Assets, and with respect to the income that can be earned on Scheduled Distributions on such Pledged Obligations and on any other amounts that may be received for deposit in the applicable Collection Account, the provisions set forth in this Section 1.2 shall be applied.

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

(c)For each Due Period, the Scheduled Distribution on any Pledged Obligation (other than a Defaulted Security, which, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be assumed to have a Scheduled Distribution of zero) shall be the sum of (i) the total amount of payments and collections in respect of such Pledged Obligation (including all Sales Proceeds received during the Due Period and not reinvested in Substitute Collateral Debt Securities or retained in the Principal Collection Account for subsequent reinvestment) that, if paid as scheduled, will be available in the Collection Accounts at the end of such Due Period for payment on the Notes and of expenses of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer pursuant to the Priority of Payments and (ii) any such amounts received in prior Due Periods that were not

75

disbursed on a previous Payment Date and do not constitute amounts which have been used as reimbursement with respect to a prior Interest Advance pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

(d)With respect to any Collateral Debt Security as to which any interest or other payment thereon is subject to withholding tax of any relevant jurisdiction, each Scheduled Distribution thereon shall, for purposes of the Coverage Tests and the Collateral Quality Tests, be deemed to be payable net of such withholding tax unless the issuer thereof or obligor thereon is required to make additional payments to fully compensate the Issuer for such withholding taxes (including in respect of any such additional payments). On any date of determination, the amount of any Scheduled Distribution due on any future date shall be assumed to be made net of any such uncompensated withholding tax based upon withholding tax rates in effect on such date of determination.

(e)For purposes of calculating any Interest Coverage Ratio, the expected interest income on floating rate Collateral Debt Securities and Eligible Investments and under each Hedge Agreement and the expected interest payable on the Notes shall be calculated using (i) the interest rates applicable thereto on the applicable Measurement Date and (ii) accrued original issue discount on Eligible Investments shall be deemed to be Scheduled Distributions of interest due on the date such original issue discount is scheduled to be paid.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purposes of calculating any Interest Coverage Ratio, there shall be excluded all scheduled or deferred payments of interest on or principal of Collateral Debt Securities and any payment, including any amount payable to the Issuer by each Hedge Counterparty, which the Collateral Manager has determined in its reasonable judgment shall not be made in Cash or received when due.

(f)Each Scheduled Distribution receivable with respect to a Pledged Obligation shall be assumed to be received on the applicable Due Date, and each such Scheduled Distribution shall be assumed to be immediately deposited in the applicable Collection Account except to the extent the Collateral Manager has a reasonable expectation that such Scheduled Distribution will not be received on the applicable Due Date.  All such funds shall be assumed to continue to earn interest until the date on which they are required to be available in the applicable Collection Account for transfer to the Payment Account for application, in accordance with the terms hereof, to payments of principal of or interest on the Notes or other amounts payable pursuant to this Indenture.

(g)All calculations required to be made and all reports which are to be prepared pursuant to this Indenture with respect to the Pledged Obligations, shall be made on the basis of the date on which the Issuer makes a commitment to purchase or sell an asset (the “trade date”), not the settlement date.

(h)For purposes of calculating the Par Value Ratio, an appraisal reduction of a Collateral Debt Security will be assumed to result in an implied reduction of Principal Balance for such Collateral Debt Security only if such appraisal reduction is intended to reduce the interest payable on such Collateral Debt Security and only in proportion to such interest reduction.  For purposes of the Par Value Ratio, any Collateral Debt Security that has sustained an implied reduction of Principal Balance due to an appraisal reduction will not be considered a Defaulted Security solely due to such implied reduction.  The Collateral Manager

76

will notify the Trustee of any appraisal reductions of Collateral Debt Securities if the Collateral Manager has actual knowledge thereof.

Section 1.3Interest Calculation Convention.

All calculations of interest hereunder that are made with respect to the Notes shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days during the related Interest Accrual Period divided by 360.

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

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

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

(iv)Other Exchanges.  (A)  In the event that, pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, a Global Security is exchanged for Certificated Notes, such Notes may be exchanged for one another only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions above (including certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers are to a QIB who is also a Qualified Purchaser or are to a non-U.S. Person, or otherwise comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S, as the case may be) and as may be from time to time adopted by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee.

(B)Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in subparagraph (D) of this Section 2.5(e)(iv), a Class J Note or Class K Note represented by a Certificated Note may be transferred to a Qualified Institutional Buyer in the form of a Certificated Note upon receipt by the Trustee, as Notes Registrar, of a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 hereto given by the prospective transferee of such beneficial interest and stating, among other things, that such transferee acquiring such interest in a Rule 144A Global Security is a QIB and a Qualified Purchaser, is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction pursuant to Rule 144A and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction.  In connection with any such transfer, such prospective transferee shall be deemed to have made the applicable representations contained in Section 2.5(g) hereof.

(C)Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in subparagraph (D) of this Section 2.5(e)(iv), a Class J Note or Class K Note represented by a Certificated Note may be transferred to a Person other than a U.S. Person in the form of a Certificated Note upon receipt by the Trustee, as Notes Registrar, of a certificate substantially in the

(f)Removal of Legend.  If Notes are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the applicable legends set forth in Exhibits A and B hereto, and if a request is made to remove such applicable legend on such Notes, the Notes so issued shall bear such applicable legend, or such applicable legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Issuer and the Co-Issuer such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel of an attorney at law licensed to practice law in the State of New York (and addressed to the Issuer and the Trustee), as may be reasonably required by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, to the effect that neither such applicable legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Regulation S, as applicable, the Investment Company Act or ERISA.  So long as the Issuer or the Co-Issuer is relying on an exemption under or promulgated pursuant to the Investment Company Act, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer shall not remove that portion of the legend required to maintain an exemption under or promulgated pursuant to the Investment Company Act.  Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, as confirmed in writing by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, to the Trustee, the Trustee, at the direction of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, shall authenticate and deliver Notes that do not bear such applicable legend.

(g)Each beneficial owner of Rule 144A Global Securities shall be deemed to represent and agree as follows (terms used in this paragraph that are defined in Rule 144A are used herein as defined therein):

86

paragraph and to update or replace such form or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments.

(x)The owner hereby agrees that, for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax and any other income taxes, (A) the Notes will be treated as indebtedness, and (B) the Preferred Shares will be treated as equity; the owner agrees to such treatment and agrees to take no action inconsistent with such treatment, unless required by law.

(xi)The owner, if not a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), either: (A) is not a bank (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code); (B) if such owner is a bank (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code), after giving effect to its purchase of the Notes, the owner (x) will not own a Majority of the Preferred Shares (by number) or 50% by value of the aggregate of the preferred and all classes of notes that are treated as equity for US federal income tax purposes either directly or indirectly, and will not otherwise be related to the Issuer (within the meaning of section 267(b) of the Code) and (y) has not purchased the Notes in whole or in part to avoid any U.S. federal tax liability (including, without limitation, any U.S. withholding tax that would be imposed on the Notes with respect to the Collateral Debt Securities if held directly by the owner); (C) has provided an IRS Form W-8ECI representing that all payments received or to be received by it from the Issuer are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States; or (D) 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 and the Issuer is treated as a fiscally transparent entity (as defined in Treasury Regulations section 1.894-1(d)(3)(ii)) under the laws of owner’s jurisdiction with respect to payments made on the Collateral Debt Securities held by the owner.

(h)Each beneficial owner of Regulation S Global Securities shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x) and (xi) of Section 2.5(g) and shall be deemed to have further represented and agreed as follows:

(i)The owner is aware that the sale of such Senior Notes to it is being made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S and understands that the Senior Notes offered in reliance on Regulation S will bear the appropriate legend set forth in Exhibit A or B, as applicable, and be represented by one or more Regulation S Global Securities.  The Senior Notes so represented may not at any time be held by or on behalf of U.S. Persons.  Each of the owner and the related Holder is not, and shall not be, a U.S. Person.  Before any interest in a Regulation S Global Security may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of a Rule 144A Global Security, the transferee shall be required to provide the Trustee with a written certification substantially in the form of Exhibits C and D as applicable hereto as to compliance with the transfer restrictions.  The owner must inform a prospective transferee of the transfer restrictions.

87

(i)Any purported transfer of a Note not in accordance with this Section 2.5 shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose hereunder.

(j)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Notes Registrar (nor any other Transfer Agent) shall be responsible or liable for compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or Rule 144A or Regulation S promulgated thereunder), the Investment Company Act, ERISA or the Code (or any applicable regulations thereunder); provided, however, that if a specified transfer certificate or Opinion of Counsel is required by the express terms of this Section 2.5 to be delivered to the Trustee or Notes Registrar prior to registration of transfer of a Note, the Trustee and/or Notes Registrar, as applicable, is required to request, as a condition for registering the transfer of the Note, such certificate or Opinion of Counsel and to examine the same to determine whether it conforms on its face to the requirements hereof (and the Trustee or Notes Registrar, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if it determines that such certificate or Opinion of Counsel does not so conform).

(k)If the Trustee determines or is notified by the Issuer, Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager that (i) a transfer or attempted or purported transfer of any interest in any Note was consummated in compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.5 on the basis of a materially incorrect certification from the transferee or purported transferee, (ii) a transferee failed to deliver to the Trustee any certification required to be delivered hereunder or (iii) the holder of any interest in a Note is in breach of any representation or agreement set forth in any certification or any deemed representation or agreement of such holder, the Trustee shall not register such attempted or purported transfer and if a transfer has been registered, such transfer shall be absolutely null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee (such purported transferee, a “Disqualified Transferee”) and the last preceding holder of such interest in such Note that was not a Disqualified Transferee shall be restored to all rights as a Holder thereof retroactively to the date of transfer of such Note by such Holder.

In addition, the Trustee may require that the interest in the Note referred to in (i), (ii) or (iii) in the preceding paragraph be transferred to any person designated by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager at a price determined by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, based upon its estimation of the prevailing price of such interest and each Holder, by acceptance of an interest in a Note, authorizes the Trustee to take such action.  In any case, the Trustee shall not be held responsible for any losses that may be incurred as a result of any required transfer under this Section 2.5(l).

(l)Each Holder of Notes approves and consents to (i) the initial purchase of the Collateral Debt Securities by the Issuer from Affiliates of the Collateral Manager on or prior to the Closing Date and (ii) any other transaction between the Issuer and the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates that are permitted under the terms of this Indenture or the Collateral Management Agreement.

Section 2.6Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Note.

If (a) any mutilated or defaced Note is surrendered to a Transfer Agent, or if there shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee and the relevant Transfer Agent (each a “Specified Person”) evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (b) there is delivered to the Specified Person such security or indemnity as may be required by each Specified Person to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless (an unsecured indemnity agreement delivered to the Trustee by an institutional investor with a net worth of at least $200,000,000 being deemed sufficient to satisfy such security or indemnity requirement), then, in the absence of notice to the Specified Persons that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall execute and, upon Issuer Request, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal 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 bona fide purchaser of the predecessor Note presents for payment, transfer or exchange such predecessor Note, any Specified Person shall be entitled to recover such new Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, and each Specified Person shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by such Specified Person in connection therewith.

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

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.6, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, may require the payment by the registered 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 2.6 in lieu of any mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, and such new Note shall be entitled, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 2.6, to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

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

Section 2.11U.S. Tax Treatment of Notes.

(a)Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer intends that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Notes be treated as debt.  Each prospective purchaser and any subsequent transferee of a Note or any interest therein shall, by virtue of its purchase or other acquisition of such Note or interest therein, be deemed to have agreed to treat such Note as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(b)In the case of the Preferred Shares and any Class of Notes that is deemed equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), if the Holder of such Security so requests, the Issuer agrees to timely provide each Holder of such a Security with a PFIC Annual Information Statement, signed by the Issuer or its authorized representative, on an annual basis that contains the following information as required under Treasury Regulation section 1.1295-1(g)(i):

(i)the first and last days of the taxable year of the Issuer to which the PFIC Annual Information Statement applies;

(ii)sufficient information to enable each Holder of such Securities to calculate its pro rata share of the Issuer’s ordinary earnings and net capital gain for that taxable year;

(iii)the amount of cash and the fair market value of other property distributed or deemed distributed to such Holder of such Securities during the taxable year of the Issuer to which the PFIC Annual Information Statement pertains; and

(iv)a statement that the Issuer shall permit the Holder of any such Securities to inspect and copy the Issuer’s permanent books of account, records and such other documents as may be maintained by the Issuer to establish that the Issuer’s ordinary earnings and net capital gain are computed in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles and to verify these amounts and the Holder’s pro rata interest thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Holder of such Security so requests and such Holder informs the Issuer or its authorized representative of the par value of each Class of Securities held by such Holder during such taxable year (including, if any Securities were acquired or sold during such taxable year, the date such Securities were acquired or sold, and par value of such Securities), the Issuer or its authorized representative will inform such Holder of its pro rata share of the Issuer’s ordinary earnings and net capital gain in a timely manner.

(c)The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall account for the aforementioned Securities and prepare any reports to Noteholders and tax authorities, including without limitation the report specified in paragraph (b) above, consistent with the intentions expressed in Sections 2.11(a) above.

103

Identification Number and Certification), or IRS Form W-8ECI (Certification of Foreign Person’s Claim for Exemption from Withholding on Income Effectively Connected with Conduct of a U.S. Trade or Business) or any successors to such IRS forms that the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or its agents may reasonable request and shall update or replace such forms or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments.

Section 2.12Authenticating Agents.

Upon the request of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, the Trustee shall, and if the Trustee so chooses the Trustee may pursuant to this Indenture, appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 8.5 hereof, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by such Sections to authenticate such Notes.  For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes by the Trustee.

Any corporation or banking association into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or banking association resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.  Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer.  The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer.  Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer.

The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent appointed by it from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating thereto and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to Section 6.7 hereof.  The provisions of Sections 2.9, 6.4 and 6.5 hereof shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

Section 2.13Forced Sale on Failure to Comply with Restrictions.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture, any transfer of a Note or interest therein to a U.S. Person who is determined not to have been both a QIB (except in the case of QRS. Corp.) and a Qualified Purchaser at the time of acquisition of the Note or interest therein shall be null and void and any such proposed transfer of which the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Trustee shall have notice may be disregarded by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee for all purposes.

(b)If the Issuer determines that any Holder of a Note has not satisfied the applicable requirement described in Section 2.13(a) above (any such person a “Non-Permitted

104

Holder”), then the Issuer shall promptly after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted Holder by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Trustee (and notice by the Trustee or the Co-Issuer to the Issuer, if either of them makes the discovery), send notice to such Non-Permitted Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted Holder transfer its interest to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted Holder within 30 days of the date of such notice.  If such Non-Permitted Holder fails to so transfer its Note or interest therein, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such Note or interest therein to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose.  The Issuer, or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Issuer, may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Note, and selling such Note to the highest such bidder.  However, the Issuer or the Trustee may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion.  The Holder of such 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 Note, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Trustee to effect such transfers.  The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted Holder.  The terms and conditions of any sale under this Section 2.13(b) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and the Issuer shall not be liable to any Person having an interest in the Note sold as a result of any such sale of exercise of such discretion.

(a)If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing (other than the Events of Default specified in Section 5.1(f), 5.1(g) or 5.1(i)), the Trustee may (and shall at the direction of a Majority, by outstanding principal amount, of each Class of Notes voting as a separate Class (excluding in each case any Notes held by the Collateral Manager, any of its Affiliates or any funds (other than the Issuer) managed by the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates)) declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be immediately due and payable (and any such acceleration shall automatically terminate the Reinvestment Period).  If an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(f), Section 5.1(g) or Section 5.1(i) above occurs, such an acceleration shall occur automatically and without any further action.  If the Notes are accelerated, payments shall be made in the order and priority set forth in Section 11.1(a)(i) and Section 11.1(a)(ii) hereof.

(b)At any time after such a declaration of acceleration of Maturity of the Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the Money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article 5, a Majority of each and every Class of Notes (voting as a separate Class), by written notice to the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, the Trustee and each Hedge Counterparty, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

120

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

(A)all unpaid installments of interest on and principal of the Notes that would be due and payable hereunder if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred;

(B)to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on the Class C Capitalized Interest at the Class C Rate, interest on the Class D Capitalized Interest at the Class D Rate, interest on the Class E Capitalized Interest at the Class E Rate, interest on the Class F Capitalized Interest at the Class F Rate, interest on the Class G Capitalized Interest at the Class G Rate, interest on the Class H Capitalized Interest at the Class H Rate, interest on the Class J Capitalized Interest at the Class J Rate and interest on the Class K Capitalized Interest at the Class K Rate;

(C)all unpaid taxes of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, Company Administrative Expenses and other sums paid or advanced by or otherwise due and payable to the Trustee hereunder;

(D)with respect to each Hedge Agreement, any amount then due and payable thereunder; and

(E)with respect to the Collateral Management Agreement, any Senior Collateral Management Fee then due and any Company Administrative Expense due and payable to the Collateral Manager thereunder.

(ii)if any Hedge Agreement has been reduced or terminated, the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to such reduction or termination; and

(iii)the Trustee has determined that all Events of Default of which it has actual knowledge, other than the non-payment of the interest and principal on the Notes that have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured and a Majority of the Controlling Class, by written notice to the Trustee and each Hedge Counterparty has agreed with such determination (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or waived as provided in Section 5.14.

At any such time that the Trustee shall rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences as permitted hereinabove, the Trustee shall preserve the Assets in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5 with respect to the Event of Default that gave rise to such declaration; provided, however, that if such preservation of the Assets is rescinded pursuant to Section 5.5, the Notes may be accelerated pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 5.2, notwithstanding any previous rescission and annulment of a declaration of acceleration pursuant to this paragraph.

121

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.  In addition, no such rescission shall affect any Hedge Agreement if it has been terminated in accordance with its terms.

(c)Subject to Sections 5.4 and 5.5, a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right to direct the Trustee in the conduct of any proceedings for any remedy available to the Trustee; provided that (i) such direction will not conflict with any rule of law or this Indenture; (ii) the Trustee may take any other action not inconsistent with such direction; (iii) the Trustee has been provided with an indemnity or reasonable security satisfactory to it (and the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability unless it has received such indemnity or security against such liability); and (iv) any direction to undertake a sale of the Assets may be made only as described in Section 5.17.  The Trustee shall provide written notice of the receipt of such direction to each Hedge Counterparty promptly after receipt thereof.

(d)As security for the payment by the Issuer of the compensation and expenses of the Trustee and any sums the Trustee may be entitled to receive as indemnification by the Issuer, the Issuer hereby grants the Trustee a lien on the Assets, which lien is senior to the lien of the Noteholders. The Trustee’s lien shall be subject to the Priority of Payments and exercisable by the Trustee only if the Notes have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled.

(e)A Majority of the Controlling Class, may, prior to the time a judgment or decree for the payment of money due has been obtained by the Trustee, waive any past Default on behalf of the holders of all the Notes and its consequences in accordance with Section 5.14.

(f)In determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of Notes have given any direction, notice or consent hereunder, (i) Notes owned by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Affiliate thereof shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding and (ii) in relation to (x) any amendment or other modification of, or assignment or termination of, any of the express rights or obligations of the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement or this Indenture (including the exercise of any rights to remove the Collateral Manager or terminate the Collateral Management Agreement or approve or object to a replacement for the Collateral Manager except as specifically provided in the Collateral Management Agreement with respect to the termination of the Collateral Manager without cause and with respect to the replacement of the Collateral Manager) and (y) the exercise by the Noteholders of their right, in connection with certain Events of Default, to accelerate amounts due under the Notes, Notes owned by the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates, or by any accounts managed by them, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding.  The Collateral Manager and its Affiliates shall be entitled to vote Notes held by them, and by accounts managed by them, with respect to all other matters other than those described in clause (ii).

If the Issuer or the Co-Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as Trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the Monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Assets.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate Proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual (if no direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class is received by the Trustee), or the Trustee shall proceed to protect and enforce

124

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

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

(a)to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Noteholders allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes or to the creditors or property of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or such other obligor;

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

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such

125

Proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any action or Proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7.

In any Proceedings brought by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders, the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, the Trustee may not sell or liquidate the Assets or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.3 unless the conditions specified in Section 5.5(a) are met.

Section 5.4Remedies.

(a)If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Notes have been declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer agree that the Trustee may, after notice to the Noteholders and each Hedge Counterparty, and shall, upon direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class, to the extent permitted by applicable law, exercise one or more of the following rights, privileges and remedies:

(i)institute Proceedings for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or otherwise payable under this Indenture, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Assets any Monies adjudged due;

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

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

(iv)exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes hereunder; and

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

provided, however, that the Trustee may not sell or liquidate the Assets or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.4 unless either of the conditions specified in Section 5.5(a) is met.

126

The Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation with demonstrated capabilities in structuring and distributing notes or certificates similar to the Notes as to the feasibility of any action proposed to be taken in accordance with this Section 5.4 and as to the sufficiency of the proceeds and other amounts receivable with respect to the Assets to make the required payments of principal of and interest on the Notes and other amounts payable hereunder, which opinion shall be conclusive evidence as to such feasibility or sufficiency.

(b)If an Event of Default as described in Section 5.1(e) hereof shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, and at the request of the Holders of not less than 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall, institute a Proceeding solely to compel performance of the covenant or agreement or to cure the representation or warranty, the breach of which gave rise to the Event of Default under such Section, and enforce any equitable decree or order arising from such Proceeding.

(c)Upon any Sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, any Noteholder or Noteholders or Preferred Shareholder or Preferred Shareholders or the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates may bid for and purchase the Assets or any part thereof and, upon compliance with the terms of Sale, may hold, retain, possess or dispose of such property in its or their own absolute right without accountability; and any purchaser at any such Sale may, in paying the purchase Money, turn in any of the Notes in lieu of Cash equal to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable on the Notes so turned in by such Holder (taking into account the Class of such Notes).  Such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Holders thereof after proper notation has been made thereon to show partial payment.

Upon any Sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, the receipt of the Trustee or of the Officer making a sale under judicial proceedings shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for its or their purchase Money and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obliged to see to the application thereof.

Any such Sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall bind the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Preferred Shareholders, 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)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee may not, prior to the date which is one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect after the payment in full of all Notes, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under federal or State bankruptcy or similar laws.  Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Trustee (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the

127

aforementioned one year and one day (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) period in (A) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or (B) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Trustee, or (ii) from commencing against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or any of their respective properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceeding.

Section 5.5Preservation of Assets.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing when any of the Notes are Outstanding, the Trustee shall retain the Assets securing the Notes, collect and cause the collection of the proceeds thereof and make and apply all payments and deposits and maintain all accounts in respect of the Assets and the Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the provisions of Articles 10, 12 and 13 unless either:

(i)the Trustee, pursuant to Section 5.5(c), determines that the anticipated proceeds of a sale or liquidation of the Assets (after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation) would be sufficient to discharge in full the amounts then due and unpaid on the Notes, Company Administrative Expenses due and payable pursuant to clauses (3) and (31) of Section 11.1(a)(i) and clauses (1) and (13) of Section 11.1(a)(ii), the Senior Collateral Management Fees due and payable pursuant to clause (4) of Section 11.1(a)(i), the Subordinate Collateral Management Fees due and payable pursuant to clause (32) of Section 11.1(a)(i), any amounts due and unpaid to each Hedge Counterparty, including without limitation, any payments (however described) due and payable by the Issuer under each Hedge Agreement upon a termination of such Hedge Agreement (including any interest that may accrue thereon) and amounts due and payable to the Advancing Agent and the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, in respect of unreimbursed Interest Advances and Reimbursement Interest, and a Majority of the Controlling Class agrees with such determination; or

(ii)the Holders of a Majority of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each Class of Notes (each voting as a separate Class) (and each Hedge Counterparty, unless each shall be paid in full the amounts due and unpaid, including, without limitation, any payments (however described) due and payable by the Issuer under each Hedge Agreement upon a termination of such Hedge Agreement (including any interest that may accrue thereon)), direct, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, the sale and liquidation of the Assets.

The Trustee shall give written notice of the retention of the Assets to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, each Hedge Counterparty and the Rating Agencies.  So long as such Event of Default is continuing, any such retention pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) may be rescinded at any time when the conditions specified in clause (i) or (ii) above exist.

(b)Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee to sell the Assets securing the Notes if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5(a) are not

128

satisfied.  Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee to preserve the Assets securing the Notes if prohibited by applicable law.

(c)In determining whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Collateral Manager shall obtain bid prices with respect to each Pledged Collateral Debt Security from two dealers (Independent of the Collateral Manager and any of its Affiliates) at the time making a market in such Pledged Collateral Debt Securities (or, if there is only one market maker, then the Collateral Manager shall obtain a bid price from that market maker or, if no market maker, from a pricing service).  The Collateral Manager shall compute the anticipated proceeds of sale or liquidation on the basis of the lowest of such bid prices for each such Pledged Collateral Debt Security.  For the purposes of determining issues relating to the Market Value of the Pledged Collateral Debt Security and the execution of a sale or other liquidation thereof, the Trustee may, but need not, retain at the expense of the Issuer and rely on an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation in connection with a determination (notwithstanding that such opinion will not be the basis for such determination) as to whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists.

The Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Noteholders and each Hedge Counterparty a report stating the results of any determination required to be made pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i).  The Trustee shall make the determinations required by Section 5.5(a)(i) within 30 days after an Event of Default if requested by a Majority of the Controlling Class.

Section 5.6Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.

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

In any Proceedings brought by the Trustee (and any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party), in respect of the Notes, the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes.

Section 5.7Application of Money Collected.

Any Money collected by the Trustee with respect to the Notes pursuant to this Article 5 and any Money that may then be held or thereafter received by the Trustee with respect to the Notes hereunder shall be applied subject to Section 13.1 hereof and in accordance with the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 11.1 hereof, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee.

Section 5.8Limitation 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:

129

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

(b)except as otherwise provided in Section 5.9 hereof, the Holders of at least 25% of the then Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute Proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder and such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

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

(d)no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 30 day period by a Majority of the Controlling Class; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes of the same Class or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other 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 hereof and the Priority of Payments.

In the event the Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of the Controlling Class, each representing less than a Majority of the Controlling Class, the Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

Section 5.9Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture (except for Section 2.7(n) and 2.7(v)), the Holder of any Class of Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Class of Note as such principal, interest and other amounts become due and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Section 13.1, and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.4(d) and Section 5.8 to institute Proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder; provided, however, that the right of such Holder to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment shall not be subject to the 25% threshold requirement set forth in Section 5.8(b).

Section 5.10Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee, or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, and the Noteholder shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions

130

hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.11Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

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

Section 5.12Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee, or of any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein or a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default.  Every right and remedy given by this Article 5 or by law to the Trustee, or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

Section 5.13Control by the Controlling Class.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing when any of the Notes are Outstanding, a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right to cause the institution of and direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee for exercising any trust, right, remedy or power conferred on the Trustee in respect of the Notes; provided that:

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

(b)the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability (unless the Trustee has received satisfactory indemnity against such liability as set forth below);

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

(d)any direction to the Trustee to undertake a Sale of the Assets shall be by the Holders of Notes secured thereby representing a Majority of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each Class of Notes.

Section 5.14Waiver of Past Defaults.

Prior to the time a judgment or decree for payment of the Money due has been obtained by the Trustee, as provided in this Article 5, a Majority of each and every Class of

131

Notes voting as a separate Class may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past Default in respect of the Notes and its consequences, except a Default:

(a)in the payment of principal of any Note;

(b)in the payment of interest in respect of the Controlling Class;

(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 Note adversely affected thereby; or

(d)in respect of any covenant or provision hereof for the individual protection or benefit of the Trustee (without the Trustee’s express written consent thereto).

In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.  The Trustee shall promptly give written notice of any such waiver to the Collateral Manager, each Noteholder and each Hedge Counterparty.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 5.15Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable hereunder on or after the Stated Maturity (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date).

Section 5.16Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants, the performance of or any remedies under this Indenture; and each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)

132

hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 5.17Sale of Assets.

(a)The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Assets pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5 hereof shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of such Assets remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until all amounts secured by the Assets shall have been paid or if there are insufficient proceeds to pay such amount until the entire Assets shall have been sold.  The Trustee may upon notice to the Securityholders and each Hedge Counterparty, and shall, upon direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, from time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale; provided, however, that if the Sale is rescheduled for a date more than three Business Days after the date of the determination by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof, such Sale shall not occur unless and until the Trustee has again made the determination required by Section 5.5 hereof.  The Trustee hereby expressly waives its rights to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale; provided that the Trustee shall be authorized to deduct the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by it in connection with such Sale from the proceeds thereof notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7 hereof.

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

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

(d)The Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Assets in connection with a Sale thereof.  In addition, the Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney in fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Assets in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale.  No purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee’s authority, to inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any Monies.

133

(e)In the event of any Sale of the Assets pursuant to Section 5.4 or Section 5.5, payments shall be made in the order and priority set forth in Section 11.1(a)(i) and Section 11.1(a)(ii) in the same manner as if the Notes had been accelerated.

Section 5.18Action on the Notes.

The Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking or obtaining of or application for any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture.  Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Trustee, or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Trustee against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Assets or upon any of the assets of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer.

ARTICLE 6

THE TRUSTEE

Section 6.1Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

(a)Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

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

(ii)in the absence of manifest error, or bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform to the requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly, but in any event within three Business Days in the case of an Officer’s Certificate furnished by the Collateral Manager, notify the party delivering the same if such certificate or opinion does not conform.  If a corrected form shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 15 days after such notice from the Trustee, the Trustee shall so notify the Noteholders.

(b)In case an Event of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from a Majority of the Controlling Class (or other Noteholders to the extent provided in Article 5 hereof), exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(c)If, in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Trustee may request written instructions from

134

the Collateral Manager as to courses of action desired by it.  If the Trustee does not receive such instructions within two Business Days after it has requested them, it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action.  The Trustee shall act in accordance with instructions received after such two-Business Day period except to the extent it has already taken, or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions.  The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the advice of legal counsel and Independent accountants in performing its duties hereunder and be deemed to have acted in good faith if it acts in accordance with such advice.

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

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

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

(iii)the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Issuer in accordance with this Indenture and/or the Controlling Class relating to the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee in respect of any Note or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture;

(iv)no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it (if the amount of such funds or risk or liability does not exceed the amount payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i)(3) and Section 11.1(a)(ii)(1) net of the amounts specified in Section 6.7(a)(i), the Trustee shall be deemed to be reasonably assured of such repayment) unless such risk or liability relates to its ordinary services under this Indenture, except where this Indenture provides otherwise; and

(v)the Trustee shall not be liable to the Noteholders for any action taken or omitted by it at the direction of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Controlling Class and/or a Noteholder under circumstances in which such direction is required or permitted by the terms of this Indenture.

(e)For all purposes under this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Event of Default described in Section 5.1(d), 5.1(f), 5.1(g), 5.1(h) or 5.1(i) or any Default described in Section 5.1(e) 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

135

Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references, as applicable, the Notes generally, the Issuer, the Assets or this Indenture.  For purposes of determining the Trustee’s responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is made in this Indenture to such an Event of Default or a Default, such reference shall be construed to refer only to such an Event of Default or Default of which the Trustee is deemed to have notice as described in this Section 6.1.

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

(g)The Trustee shall, upon reasonable prior written notice to the Trustee, permit the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the Rating Agencies, during the Trustee’s normal business hours, to examine all books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Trustee relating to the Notes, to make copies and extracts therefrom (the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in making any such copies or extracts to be reimbursed to the Trustee by such Person) and to discuss the Trustee’s actions, as such actions relate to the Trustee’s duties with respect to the Notes, with the Trustee’s officers and employees responsible for carrying out the Trustee’s duties with respect to the Notes.

Section 6.2Notice of Default.

Promptly (and in no event later than three Business Days) after the occurrence of any Default known to the Trustee or after any declaration of acceleration has been made or delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.2, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Collateral Manager, the Irish Paying Agent (for so long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange), each Hedge Counterparty and each Rating Agency (for so long as any Class of Notes is Outstanding and rated by such Rating Agency), to all Holders of Notes as their names and addresses appear on the Notes Register, notice of all Defaults hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived.

(b)any request or direction of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Request or Issuer Order, as the case may be;

(c)whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall (i) deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate or (ii) be required to determine the value of any Assets or funds hereunder or the cash flows projected to be

(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 Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might reasonably be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

(f)the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, note or other paper documents, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may and, upon the written direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class or of a Rating Agency, shall make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit or as it shall be directed and shall have received indemnification reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, and, the Trustee shall be entitled, on reasonable prior notice to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Collateral Manager, to examine the books and records relating to the Notes and the Assets, as applicable, at the premises of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Collateral Manager, personally or by agent or attorney during the Issuer’s, the Co-Issuer’s or the Collateral Manager’s normal business hours upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice; provided that the Trustee shall, and shall cause its agents to, hold in confidence all such information, except (i) to the extent disclosure may be required by law by any regulatory authority and (ii) except to the extent that the Trustee, in its sole judgment, may determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder;

(g)the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder (except with respect to its duty to make any Interest Advance under the circumstances specified in Section 10.7) either directly or by or through agents or attorneys; provided that the Trustee shall not be responsible for any willful misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent appointed and supervised, or attorney appointed, with due care by it hereunder;

(h)the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it reasonably and prudently believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers hereunder;

(i)the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy of the books or records of, or for any acts or omissions of, the Depository, any Transfer Agent (other than the Trustee itself acting in that capacity), Clearstream, Luxembourg, Euroclear, any Calculation

(j)the Trustee shall not be liable for the actions or omissions of the Collateral Manager; and without limiting the foregoing, the Trustee shall not (except to the extent, if at all, otherwise expressly stated in this Indenture) be under any obligation to monitor, evaluate or verify compliance by the Collateral Manager with the terms hereof or the Collateral Management Agreement, or to verify or independently determine the accuracy of information received by it from the Collateral Manager (or from any selling institution, agent bank, trustee or similar source) with respect to the Collateral Debt Securities.

Section 6.4Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes.

The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, other than the Certificate of Authentication thereon, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.  The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture (except as may be made with respect to the validity of the Trustee’s obligations hereunder), the Assets or the Notes.  The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer of the Notes or the proceeds thereof or any Money paid to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer pursuant to the provisions hereof.

Section 6.5May Hold Notes.

The Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Notes Registrar or any other agent of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer and the Co-Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Notes Registrar or such other agent.

Section 6.6Money Held in Trust.

Money held by the Trustee hereunder shall be held in trust to the extent required herein.  The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any Money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed upon with the Issuer and except to the extent of income or other gain on investments which are deposits in or certificates of deposit of the Trustee in its commercial capacity and income or other gain actually received by the Trustee on Eligible Investments.

Section 6.7Compensation and Reimbursement.

(a)The Issuer agrees:

(i)to pay the Trustee on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(ii)except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee (subject to any written agreement between the Issuer and the Trustee) in a timely manner

138

upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances (except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Interest Advances) incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including securities transaction charges to the extent not waived due to the Trustee’s receipt of payments from a financial institution with respect to certain Eligible Investments, as specified by the Collateral Manager and the reasonable compensation and expenses and disbursements of its agents and legal counsel and of any accounting firm or investment banking firm employed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.4, 5.5, 10.9 or 10.11 hereof, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith);

(iii)to indemnify the Trustee and its Officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder; and

(iv)to pay the Trustee reasonable additional compensation together with its expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) for any collection action taken pursuant to Section 6.13 hereof.

(d)The Trustee agrees that the payment of all amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to sub-sections 6.7(a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iii) and (a)(iv) shall be subject to the Priority of Payments, shall be payable only to the extent funds are available in accordance with such Priority of Payments, shall be payable solely from the Assets and following realization of the Assets, any such claims of the Trustee against the Issuer shall be extinguished.  The Trustee will have a lien upon the Assets to secure the payment of such payments to it in accordance with the Priority of Payments; provided that the Trustee shall not institute any proceeding for enforcement of such lien except in connection with an action taken pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof for enforcement of the lien of this Indenture for the benefit of the Noteholders.

Fees shall be accrued on the actual number of days in the related Interest Accrual Period.  The Trustee shall receive amounts pursuant to this Section 6.7 and Sections 11.1(a)(i) and (ii) only to the extent that such payment is made in accordance with the Priority of Payments

139

and the failure to pay such amounts to the Trustee will not, by itself, constitute an Event of Default.  Subject to Section 6.9, the Trustee shall continue to serve as Trustee under this Indenture notwithstanding the fact that the Trustee shall not have received amounts due to it hereunder.  No direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class shall affect the right of the Trustee to collect amounts owed to it under this Indenture.

If on any Payment Date when any amount shall be payable to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture is not paid because there are insufficient funds available for the payment thereof, all or any portion of such amount not so paid shall be deferred and payable on any later Payment Date on which a fee shall be payable and sufficient funds are available therefor in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Section 6.8Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or State authority, having a rating of at least “A2” by Moody’s, a rating of at least “BBB” by Fitch and a long-term senior unsecured debt rating of at least “A+” and a short-term debt rating of at least “A-1” by S&P and having an office within the United States.  If such corporation 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 corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.8, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article 6.

Section 6.9Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

(a)No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article 6 shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 6.10.

(b)The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, each Hedge Counterparty, the Noteholders and each Rating Agency.  Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by an Authorized Officer of the Issuer and an Authorized Officer of the Co-Issuer, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee so resigning and one copy to the successor Trustee or Trustees, together with a copy to each Noteholder, each Hedge Counterparty and the Collateral Manager; provided that such successor Trustee shall be appointed only upon the written consent of a Majority of the Notes (or if there are no Notes Outstanding, a Majority of the Preferred Shares) or, at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or when a successor Trustee has been appointed pursuant to Section 6.10, by Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class.  If no successor Trustee shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee

140

within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee, the Controlling Class of Notes or any Holder of a Note, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(c)The Trustee is subject to removal by act of a Majority of the Holders of the Notes (or if there are no Notes Outstanding, a Majority of the Preferred Shares) or, at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or when a successor Trustee has been appointed pursuant to Section 6.10, by Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class, upon written notice delivered to the Trustee and to the Issuer and the Co-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, the Co-Issuer, or by any Holder; or

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

then, in any such case (subject to Section 6.9(a)), (a) the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, by Issuer Order, subject to the written consent of each Hedge Counterparty, may remove the Trustee or (b) subject to Section 5.15, a Majority of the Controlling Class or any Holder may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

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

(f)The Issuer and the Co-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 each Rating Agency, each

141

Hedge Counterparty, the Preferred Shares Paying Agent and to the Holders of the Notes as their names and addresses appear in the Notes Register.  Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.  If the Issuer or the Co-Issuer fail 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 or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be.

Section 6.10Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, each Hedge Counterparty, the Collateral Manager and the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment.  Upon delivery of the required instruments, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or a Majority of the Controlling Class or the Collateral Manager or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and Money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 6.7(d).  Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor shall be qualified and eligible under this Article 6 and (a) such successor shall have long term debt rated within the four highest rating categories by each Rating Agency, and (b) each Rating Agency has confirmed in writing that the employment of such successor would not adversely affect the rating on the Notes.

Section 6.11Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Trustee.

Any corporation or banking association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 6, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.  In case any of the Notes have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

142

Section 6.12Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee.

At any time or times, including for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Assets may at the time be located, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee shall have power to appoint, one or more Persons to act as co-trustee jointly with the Trustee of all or any part of the Assets, with the power to file such proofs of claim and take such other actions pursuant to Section 5.6 herein and to make such claims and enforce such rights of action on behalf of the Holders of the Notes as such Holders themselves may have the right to do, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.12.

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

Should any written instrument from the Issuer or the Co-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 or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be.  The Issuer agrees to pay (but only from and to the extent of the Assets) to the extent funds are available therefor under subclauses (3) and (31) of Section 11.1(a)(i), for any reasonable fees and expenses in connection with such appointment.

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

(a)the Notes shall be authenticated and delivered and all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, 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 in the case of the appointment of a co-trustee as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by a co-trustee;

(c)the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Issuer and the Co-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 or the Co-

143

Issuer. A successor to any co-trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section 6.12;

(d)no co-trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Trustee hereunder;

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

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

Section 6.13Certain Duties of Trustee Related to Delayed Payment of Proceeds.

In the event that in any month the Trustee shall not have received a Scheduled Distribution, (a) the Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Collateral Manager in writing and (b) unless within three Business Days (or the end of the applicable grace period for such payment, if longer) after such notice such payment shall have been received by the Trustee, or the Issuer, in its absolute discretion (but only to the extent permitted by Section 10.2(a)), shall have made provision for such payment satisfactory to the Trustee in accordance with Section 10.2(a), the Trustee shall request the obligor of such Pledged Obligation, the trustee under the related Underlying Instrument or paying agent designated by either of them, as the case may be, to make such payment as soon as practicable after such request but in no event later than three Business Days after the date of such request.  In the event that such payment is not made within such time period, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of clause (iv) of Section 6.1(d), shall take such action as the Collateral Manager reasonably shall direct in writing.  Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture.  In the event that the Issuer or the Collateral Manager requests a release of a Pledged Obligation in connection with any such action under the Collateral Management Agreement, such release shall be subject to Section 10.10 and Article 12 of this Indenture, as the case may be.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer or its designee any payment with respect to any Pledged Obligation received after the Due Date thereof to the extent the Issuer previously made provisions for such payment satisfactory to the Trustee in accordance with this Section 6.13 and such payment shall not be deemed part of the Assets.

Section 6.14Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.

COVENANTS

Section 7.1Payment of Principal and Interest.

The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on each Class of Notes in accordance with the terms of such Notes and this Indenture. Amounts properly withheld under the Code or other applicable law by any Person from a payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, and, with respect to the Preferred Shares, by the Issuer, to such Preferred Shareholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

The Trustee shall, unless prevented from doing so for reasons beyond its reasonable control, give notice to each Securityholder of any such withholding requirement no later than ten days prior to the related Payment Date from which amounts are required (as directed by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) to be withheld, provided that despite the failure of the Trustee to give such notice amounts withheld pursuant to applicable tax laws shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, as provided above.

Section 7.2Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby appoint the Trustee as a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and the Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby appoint the Trustee, as their agent where notices and demands to or upon the Co-Issuer in respect of the Notes or this Indenture, or the Issuer in respect of the Notes or this Indenture, may be served.

The Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby appoint the Irish Paying Agent as a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and to act as their agent where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer or the Co-Issuer in respect of the Notes or this Indenture may be served and where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.

The Issuer or the Co-Issuer may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of any such agent or appoint any additional agents for any or all of such purposes; provided, however, that the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer and the Co-Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served, and, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, an office or agency outside of the United States where Notes may be presented and surrendered for payment; provided, further, that no paying agent shall be appointed in a jurisdiction which subjects payments on the Notes to withholding tax. The Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be, shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee, each Rating Agency and the Noteholders of the appointment or termination of any such agent and of the location and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

If at any time the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or outside the United States, or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, presentations and

146

surrenders may be made (subject to the limitations described in the preceding paragraph) at and notices and demands may be served on the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, and Notes may be presented and surrendered for payment to the appropriate Paying Agent at its main office and the Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby appoint the same as their agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

Section 7.3Money for Note Payments to be Held in Trust.

All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Payment Account shall be made on behalf of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer by the Trustee or a Paying Agent (in each case, from and to the extent of available funds in the Payment Account and subject to the Priority of Payments) with respect to payments on the Notes.

When the Paying Agent is not also the Notes Registrar, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall furnish, or cause the Notes Registrar to furnish, no later than the fifth calendar day after each Record Date a list, if necessary, in such form as such Paying Agent may reasonably request, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and of the certificate numbers of individual Notes held by each such Holder.

Whenever the Paying Agent is not also the Trustee, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, and such Paying Agent shall, on or before the Business Day next preceding each Payment Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be, direct the Trustee to deposit on such Payment Date with such Paying Agent, if necessary, an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (to the extent funds are then available for such purpose in the Payment Account, and subject to the Priority of Payments), such sum to be held for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. Any Monies deposited with a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) in excess of an amount sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due on the Notes with respect to which such deposit was made shall be paid over by such Paying Agent to the Trustee for application in accordance with Article 11.  Any such Paying Agent shall be deemed to agree by assuming such role not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer for the non-payment to the Paying Agent of any amounts payable thereto until at least one year and one day or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this Indenture.

The initial Paying Agent shall be as set forth in Section 7.2. Any additional or successor Paying Agents shall be appointed by Issuer Order of the Issuer and Issuer Order of the Co-Issuer with written notice thereof to the Trustee; provided, however, that so long as any Class of the Notes are rated by a Rating Agency and with respect to any additional or successor Paying Agent for the Notes, either (i) such Paying Agent has a long-term debt rating of “Aa3” or higher by Moody’s, “AA-”or higher by Fitch and “AA-” or higher by S&P or a short-term debt rating of “P-1” by Moody’s, “F1+” by Fitch and “A1+” by S&P or (ii) each Rating Agency confirms that employing such Paying Agent shall not adversely affect the then-current ratings of the Notes.  In the event that such successor Paying Agent ceases to have a long-term debt rating of “Aa3” or higher by Moody’s, “AA-”or higher by Fitch or “AA-” or higher by S&P or a short-term debt

147

rating of at least “P-1” by Moody’s, “F1+” by Fitch and “A-1+” by S&P, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly remove such Paying Agent and appoint a successor Paying Agent. The Issuer and the Co-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 and the Co-Issuer shall cause the Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee (and if the Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3, that such Paying Agent will:

(a)allocate all sums received for payment to the Holders of Notes for which it acts as Paying Agent on each Payment Date and Redemption Date among such Holders in the proportion specified in the applicable report or Redemption Date Statement, as the case may be, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law;

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

(c)if such Paying Agent is not the Trustee, immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held by it for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards set forth above required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment;

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

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

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

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, any Money deposited with the Trustee in trust or deposited with the Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment of such amounts and all liability of the Trustee or the Paying Agent with respect to such Money (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable) shall thereupon cease; provided,

148

however, that the Irish Paying Agent, before being required to make any such payment, shall at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in Dublin, Ireland, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Issuer. The Trustee or the Paying Agent, before being required to make any such release of payment, may, but shall not be required to, adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be, any reasonable means of notification of such release of payment, including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such release to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in Monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Paying Agent, at the last address of record of each such Holder.

At any time when the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is 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 and/or the Co-Issuer shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished “Rule 144A Information” (as defined below) to such holder or beneficial owner, to a prospective purchaser of such Note designated by such holder or beneficial owner or to the Trustee for delivery to such holder or beneficial owner or a prospective purchaser designated by such holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, in order to permit compliance by such holder or beneficial owner with Rule 144A under the Securities Act in connection with the resale of such Note by such holder or beneficial owner.  “Rule 144A Information” shall be such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto).  The Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer in mailing or otherwise distributing (at the Issuer’s expense) to such Noteholders or prospective purchasers, at and pursuant to the Issuer’s and/or the Co-Issuer’s written direction the foregoing materials prepared by or on behalf of the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be entitled to prepare and affix thereto or enclose therewith reasonable disclaimers to the effect that such Rule 144A Information was not assembled by the Trustee, that the Trustee has not reviewed or verified the accuracy thereof, and that it makes no representation as to such accuracy or as to the sufficiency of such information under the requirements of Rule 144A or for any other purpose.

Section 7.14Calculation Agent.

(a)The Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby agree that for so long as any Notes remain Outstanding there shall at all times be an agent appointed to calculate LIBOR in respect of each Interest Accrual Period in accordance with the terms of Schedule F hereto (the “Calculation Agent”).  The Issuer and the Co-Issuer have initially appointed the Trustee as Calculation Agent for purposes of determining LIBOR for each Interest Accrual Period.  The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer at any time.  The Calculation Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, each Hedge Counterparty, the Noteholders and each Rating Agency.  If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer in respect of any Interest Accrual Period, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall, with the prior written consent of each Hedge Counterparty, promptly appoint as a replacement Calculation Agent a leading bank which is engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurodollar market and which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer or the Co-Issuer.  The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed, and shall promptly inform the Hedge Counterparty of any such appointment.  If no successor Calculation Agent shall have been appointed within 30 days after giving of a notice of resignation, the resigning Calculation Agent, each Hedge Counterparty, a Majority of the Notes or any Holder of a Note, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent.

(b)The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as practicable after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date (as defined in

159

Schedule F hereto), but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the London Banking Day immediately following each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall calculate (x) LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period and (y) the amount of interest for such Interest Accrual Period payable in respect of each U.S. $1,000 principal amount of each Class of Notes (rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upward) on the related Payment Date, and will communicate such rates and amounts to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager, the Paying Agent, each Hedge Counterparty and, if any Floating Rate Note is in the form of a Regulation S Global Security, to Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg.  The Calculation Agent shall also specify to the Issuer and the Co-Issuer the quotations upon which LIBOR is based, and in any event the Calculation Agent shall notify the Issuer and the Co-Issuer before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on each LIBOR Determination Date if it has not determined and is not in the process of determining LIBOR and the Interest Distribution Amounts for each Class of Notes, together with the reasons therefor.  The determination of the Class A-1 Rate, Class A-2 Rate, Class B Rate, Class C Rate, Class D Rate, Class E Rate, Class F Rate, Class G Rate, Class H Rate, Class J Rate and Class K Rate and the related Class A-1 Interest Distribution Amount, Class A-2 Interest Distribution Amount, Class B Interest Distribution Amount, Class C Interest Distribution Amount, Class D Interest Distribution Amount, Class E Interest Distribution Amount, Class F Interest Distribution Amount, Class G Interest Distribution Amount, Class H Interest Distribution Amount, Class J Interest Distribution Amount and Class K Interest Distribution Amount, respectively, by the Calculation Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on all parties.

Section 7.15Certain Tax Matters.

The Issuer will provide, upon request of any Holder of any Class of Notes deemed equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any information with regard to any filing requirements that such Holder may have as a result of the Issuer being classified as a “passive foreign investment company” or a “controlled foreign corporation” (as applicable) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Section 7.16Maintenance of Listing.

(a)For so long as any of the Senior Notes remain Outstanding, the Issuer and Co-Issuer shall use all reasonable efforts to arrange and maintain the listing of the Senior Notes on the Irish Stock Exchange.

(b)If the Senior Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, the Issuer shall:

(i)in each calendar year commencing in 2005, request from the Irish Stock Exchange a waiver of the Irish Stock Exchange’s requirement to publish annual reports and accounts;

(ii)submit to the Irish Stock Exchange draft copies of any proposed amendments to the Governing Documents which would affect the rights of the Holders of the Senior Notes listed on the Irish Stock Exchange;

160

(iii)pay the annual fee for listing the Senior Notes on the Irish Stock Exchange, if any; and

(iv)inform the Irish Stock Exchange if the rating assigned to any of the Senior Notes is reduced or withdrawn.

(c)All notices, documents, reports and other announcements delivered to such Company Announcements Office shall be in the English language.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Co-Issuers determines that the maintenance of the listing of any Class of Senior Notes on the Irish Stock Exchange (or any alternative listing on another securities exchange) is unduly onerous or burdensome, the Co-Issuers will have the right to cause such Class of Senior Notes to be delisted from the Irish Stock Exchange (or such other securities exchange).  Without limiting the Collateral Manager’s discretion with respect to any determination that maintaining or obtaining a listing is unduly onerous or burdensome, the Collateral Manager may take into account various factors, including any requirement, resulting from a listing, that either Co-Issuer prepare financial statements of any particular kind or provide additional disclosure of any particular kind, in each case including any such requirement arising out of disclosure or transparency directives of the European Union or any other law or governmental rule.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class shall be required unless the reason for delisting relates to a legal/compliance, regulatory, accounting or tax issue

Section 7.17Purchase of Assets.

The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall use reasonable commercial efforts to invest Principal Proceeds and any remaining Initial Deposit and any Reinvestment Income during the Ramp-Up Period in Collateral Debt Securities in accordance with the provisions hereof.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.17, Principal Proceeds and all or any portion of any remaining Initial Deposit and any Reinvestment Income thereon may be applied prior to the Effective Date to purchase Collateral Debt Securities (which shall be, and hereby are, Granted to the Trustee pursuant to the Granting Clause of this Agreement) for inclusion in the Assets upon receipt by the Trustee of an Issuer Order executed by the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) with respect thereto directing the Trustee to pay out the amount specified therein against delivery of the Collateral Debt Security specified therein and a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager), dated as of the trade date, and delivered to the Trustee on or prior to the date of such purchase and Grant, to the effect that the criteria set forth below in this Section 7.17 will be satisfied (such criteria to be applied as of the trade date) after giving effect to such purchase and Grant of the Collateral Debt Securities:

(a)the Eligibility Criteria are met with respect to the Collateral Debt Securities purchased;

(b)the Reinvestment Criteria are satisfied after giving effect to such investment; and

161

(c)the procedures relating to the perfection of the Trustee’s security interest in the Collateral Debt Securities described in this Agreement have been satisfied.

Section 7.18Effective Date Actions.

(a)The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee and each Rating Agency on the Effective Date an amended Schedule of Closing Date Collateral Debt Securities listing all Collateral Debt Securities Granted to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.17 on or before the Effective Date, which schedule shall supersede any prior Schedule of Closing Date Collateral Debt Securities delivered to the Trustee.

(b)Within ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall request each Rating Agency rating a Class of Notes to confirm within twenty (20) Business Days after the Effective Date, and to so notify in writing the Trustee and any Hedge Counterparty, that it has not reduced or withdrawn the ratings assigned by it on the Closing Date to such Class of Notes.  If any rating assigned as of the Closing Date to any Class of Notes has not been so confirmed, or is reduced or withdrawn, within twenty (20) Business Days after the Effective Date by any such Rating Agency, the Collateral Manager may, on behalf of the Issuer, within 10 Business Days provide to such Rating Agency a proposal (a “Proposal”) with respect to the Collateral Debt Securities.  If such Rating Agency does not accept the Proposal or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, elects not to submit a Proposal, a “Rating Confirmation Failure” shall have occurred.  If such Rating Agency accepts the Proposal, a Rating Confirmation Failure shall not be deemed to have occurred unless and until the Collateral Manager fails to meet the conditions set forth in the Proposal in accordance with the time requirements set forth in such Proposal.  Within 10 Business Days after the conditions set forth in the Proposal have been satisfied, the Issuer must request a Rating Confirmation. Failure to receive such Rating Confirmation shall result in a Rating Confirmation Failure.  If a Rating Confirmation Failure occurs on the first Payment Date thereafter, (i) as provided in Section 10.4, amounts on deposit in the Unused Proceeds Account, (ii) as provided in Section 11.1(a)(i), all Interest Proceeds remaining after payment of amounts referred to in clauses (1) through (29) of Section 11.1(a)(i) and (iii) as provided in Section 11.1(a)(ii), all Principal Proceeds remaining after payment of the amounts referred to in clauses (1) through (10) of Section 11.1(a)(ii), in each case will be used to pay principal of each such Class of Notes, sequentially in accordance with the Priority of Payments, until each such rating is confirmed or reinstated or such Class of Notes has been paid in full.

(c)The Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty and each Rating Agency, within six Business Days after the Effective Date, an Accountants’ Report, dated as of the Effective Date, confirming that the Collateral Quality Tests and the Coverage Tests have been satisfied and that the Collateral Debt Securities have an aggregate par amount equal to at least the Minimum Ramp-Up Amount and certifying the procedures applied and such accountants’ associated findings with respect to the Eligibility Criteria and specifying the procedures undertaken by them to review data and computations relating to such information. The Collateral Manager may on any date, prior to the 120th day following the Closing Date or the purchase of Collateral Debt Securities having an aggregate par amount equal to the Minimum Ramp-Up Amount, upon written notice to the Trustee, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer and each Rating Agency (with a copy to each Hedge

162

Counterparty), declare that the Effective Date shall occur on the date specified in such notice; provided that each of the Collateral Quality Tests and the Coverage Tests will be satisfied as of such Effective Date and the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied.  The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall cause to be delivered to S&P on the Effective Date a Microsoft Excel file that provides all of the inputs required to determine whether the S&P CDO Monitor Test has been satisfied.

Section 8.1Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Securityholders.

Without the consent of the Holders of any Notes or any Preferred Shareholders, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, when authorized by Board Resolutions, and the Trustee, with the written consent of each Hedge Counterparty delivered to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee, and, at any time and from time to time subject to the requirement provided below in this Section 8.1, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

(a)to evidence the succession of another Person to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer and the assumption by any such successor Person of the covenants of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer herein and in the Notes;

(b)to add to the covenants of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, Preferred Shareholders, each Hedge Counterparty or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer or the Co-Issuer;

(c)to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Trustee, or add to the conditions, limitations or restrictions on the authorized amount, terms and purposes of the issue, authentication and delivery of the Notes;

(d)to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Sections 6.9, 6.10 and 6.12 hereof;

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

(f)to modify the restrictions on and procedures for resales and other transfers of Notes to reflect any changes in applicable law or regulation (or the interpretation thereof) or to enable the Issuer and the Co-Issuer to rely upon any exemption from registration under the

163

Securities Act or the Investment Company Act or to remove restrictions on resale and transfer to the extent not required thereunder;

(g)to accommodate the issuance, if any, of Notes in global or book-entry form through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company or otherwise;

(h)to enable the Issuer and the Trustee to rely upon any exemption from registration under the Exchange Act or the Investment Company Act or to remove certain existing restrictions to the extent not required under such exemption;

(i)otherwise to correct any inconsistency or cure any ambiguity or mistake;

(j)to take any action commercially reasonably necessary or advisable to prevent the Issuer from failing to qualify as a qualified REIT subsidiary (within the meaning of Section 856(i)(2) of the Code) or to prevent the Issuer from being subject to U.S. federal, state or local income or franchise tax on a net income tax basis or to prevent the Issuer, the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee from being subject to withholding or other taxes, fees or assessments; and

(k)to conform this Indenture to the provisions described in the Offering Memorandum dated July 8, 2005 (or any supplement thereto).

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

If any Class of Notes is Outstanding and rated by a Rating Agency, the Trustee shall not enter into any such supplemental indenture if, as a result of such supplemental indenture, such Rating Agency would cause the rating of any such Notes to be reduced or withdrawn.  At the cost of the Issuer, for so long as any Class of Notes shall remain Outstanding and is rated by a Rating Agency, the Trustee shall provide to such Rating Agency a copy of any proposed supplemental indenture at least 15 days prior to the execution thereof by the Trustee, and, for so long as such Notes are Outstanding and so rated, request written confirmation that such Rating Agency will not, as a result of such supplemental indenture, cause the rating of any such Class of Notes to be reduced or withdrawn, and, as soon as practicable after the execution by the Trustee, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer of any such supplemental indenture, provide to such Rating Agency a copy of the executed supplemental indenture.

The Trustee shall not enter into any such supplemental indenture if, as a result of such supplemental indenture, the interests of any Holder of Securities would be materially and adversely affected thereby or such action will cause the Holders of the Notes to experience any material change to the timing, character or source of the income from the Notes, unless the Majority of each and every Class of Notes or the Preferred Shares so affected have approved such Supplemental Indenture.  The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon an Opinion of Counsel provided by and at the expense of the party requesting such supplemental indenture in determining whether or not the Holders of Securities would be adversely affected by such change

164

(after giving notice of such change to the Holders of Securities).  Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all present and future Holders of Securities.  The Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith and in reliance upon an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee as described in Section 8.3 hereof.

Furthermore, the Trustee shall not enter into any such supplemental indenture unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel from Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP or other nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters that the proposed supplemental indenture will not cause the Issuer to fail to be treated as a qualified REIT subsidiary (within the meaning of Section 856(i)(2) of the Code) or otherwise be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income tax basis.

Section 8.2Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Securityholders.

Except as set forth below, with the written consent of (a) the holders of not less than a Majority in Aggregate Outstanding Amount (excluding any Notes owned by the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates, or by any accounts managed by them) of the Notes of each class materially and adversely affected thereby and all of the Holders of Preferred Shares if materially and adversely affected thereby by Act of said Securityholders delivered to the Trustee and the Co-Issuers, and (b) the consent of each Hedge Counterparty that is materially and adversely affected thereby, the Trustee and the Co-Issuers may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto to add any provisions to, or change in any manner or eliminate any of the provisions of, this Indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes of such Class or the Preferred Shares, as the case may be, under this Indenture.  Unless notified by Holders of a Majority (excluding any Notes owned by the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates, or by any accounts managed by them) of the Notes of any Class that such Class of Notes will be materially and adversely affected, the Trustee may, based on the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, determine whether or not such Class of Notes would be materially and adversely affected by such change (after giving 15 Business Days’ notice of such change to the Holders of such Class of Notes, the holders of the Preferred Shares and each Hedge Counterparty).  The Trustee may, in reliance on the consent of the Holders of the Preferred Shares or on a written Opinion of Counsel provided by and at the expense of the party requesting such supplemental indenture to determine whether or not the Holders of the Preferred Shares would be adversely affected by such change (after giving notice of such change to the Holders of the Preferred Shares).  Such determinations shall be conclusive and binding on all present and future Noteholders and Holders of the Preferred Shares.  The consent of the Holders of the Preferred Shares shall be binding on all present and future Holders of the Preferred Shares.

Without the consent of (x) each Hedge Counterparty (if any) (to the extent set forth in the related Hedge Agreement) and (y) in the case of clauses (a) through (h) and (j) below, all of the holders of each Outstanding Class of Notes adversely affected, or, in the case of clause (i) below, all of the Holders of the Controlling Class and in each such case subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, no supplemental indenture may:

(a)change the Stated Maturity of the principal of or the due date of any installment of interest on any Note, reduce the principal amount thereof or the Note Interest Rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect to any Note, change the date of any

165

scheduled distribution on the Preferred Shares, or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, or change the earliest date on which any Note may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer, change the provisions of this Indenture that apply the proceeds of any Assets to the payment of principal of or interest on Notes or of distributions to the Preferred Shares Paying Agent for the payment of distributions in respect of the Preferred Shares or change any place where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the principal thereof or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date);

(b)reduce the percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of Holders of Notes of each Class or the Notional Amount of Preferred Shares of Preferred Shareholders whose consent is required for the authorization of any such supplemental indenture or for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain Defaults hereunder or their consequences provided for in this Indenture;

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

(d)permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Assets or terminate such lien on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note, or the Holder of any Preferred Share as an indirect beneficiary, of the security afforded to such Holder by the lien of this Indenture;

(e)reduce the percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of Holders of Notes of each Class whose consent is required to request the Trustee to preserve the Assets or rescind the Trustee’s election to preserve the Assets pursuant to Section 5.5 or to sell or liquidate the Assets pursuant to Section 5.4 or 5.5 hereof;

(f)modify any of the provisions of this Section 8.2, except to increase any percentage of outstanding Notes whose holders’ consent is required for any such action or to provide that other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby;

(g)modify the definition of the term “Outstanding” or the provisions of Section 11.1 or Section 13.1 hereof;

(h)modify or amend any of the non-petition and limited-recourse provisions set forth herein or in any of the related Transaction Documents;

(i)modify the definition of the term “Collateral Manager Servicing Standard,” or

(j)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 Note on any Payment Date or of distributions to the Preferred Shares Paying Agent for the payment of distributions in respect of the Preferred Shares on any Payment Date (or any other date) or to

166

affect the rights of the Holders of Securities to the benefit of any provisions for the redemption of such Securities contained herein;

provided, however, that no supplemental indenture may reduce the permitted minimum denominations of the Notes or modify any provisions regarding limited recourse or non-petition covenants with respect to the Issuer and the Co-Issuer.

If any Class of Notes are Outstanding and rated by a Rating Agency, the Trustee shall not enter into any such supplemental indenture if, as a result of such supplemental indenture, such Rating Agency would cause the rating of any such Notes to be immediately reduced or withdrawn.  At the cost of the Issuer, for so long as any Class of Notes shall remain Outstanding and is rated by a Rating Agency, the Trustee shall provide to such Rating Agency a copy of any proposed supplemental indenture at least 15 days prior to the execution thereof by the Trustee, and, for so long as such Notes are Outstanding and so rated, request written confirmation that such Rating Agency will not, as a result of such supplemental indenture, cause the rating of any such Class of Notes to be reduced or withdrawn.

The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon an Opinion of Counsel provided by and at the expense of the party requesting such supplemental indenture in determining whether or not the Holders of Securities would be adversely affected by such change (after giving notice of such change to the Holders of Securities).  Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all present and future Holders of Securities.  The Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith and in reliance upon an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee as described in Section 8.3 hereof.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Securityholders under this Section 8.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8.2, the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall mail to the Securityholders, each Hedge Counterparty, the Preferred Shares Paying Agent, the Collateral Manager, and, so long as the Notes are Outstanding and so rated, each Rating Agency a copy thereof based on an outstanding rating.  Any failure of the Trustee to publish or mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

Section 8.3Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

In executing or accepting the additional trusts created by any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article 8 or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.  The Collateral Manager will be bound to follow any amendment or supplement to this Indenture of

167

which it has received written notice at least ten Business Days prior to the execution and delivery of such amendment or supplement; provided, however, that with respect to any amendment or supplement to this Indenture which may, in the judgment of the Collateral Manager adversely affect the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager shall not be bound (and the Issuer agrees that it will not permit any such amendment to become effective) unless the Collateral Manager gives written consent to the Trustee and the Issuer to such amendment.  The Issuer and the Trustee shall give written notice to the Collateral Manager of any amendment made to this Indenture pursuant to its terms.  In addition, the Collateral Manager’s written consent shall be required prior to any amendment to this Indenture by which it is adversely affected.

Section 8.4Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article 8, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes and Preferred Shares theretofore and thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

Section 8.5Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures.

Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article 8 may, and if required by the Trustee shall, bear a notice in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture.  If the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall so determine, new Notes, so modified as to conform in the opinion of the Trustee and the Issuer and the Co-Issuer to any such supplemental indenture, may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE 9

(f)To the extent not applied pursuant to Section 7.17, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may direct the Trustee to, and upon such direction the Trustee shall, invest all funds in the Unused Proceeds Account in Eligible Investments designated by the Collateral Manager.  All interest and other income from such investments shall be deposited in the Unused Proceeds Account, any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the Unused Proceeds Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Unused Proceeds Account.  The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable (except as a result of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) by reason of any insufficiency of the Unused Proceeds Account resulting from any loss relating to any such investment, except with respect to investments in obligations of the Trustee or any Affiliate thereof.  If the Trustee does not receive investment instructions from an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager, the Trustee may invest funds received in the Unused Proceeds Account in Eligible Investments of the type described in clause (ii) of the definition thereto.

Section 10.5Delayed Funding Obligations Account.

(a)The Trustee shall prior to the Closing Date establish a single, segregated trust account which shall be designated as the “Delayed Funding Obligations Account” which shall be held in trust in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and each Hedge Counterparty, into which Delayed Draw Funding Obligations Account the Trustee shall deposit funds for any additional funding commitments of the Issuer under any Delayed Draw Term Loans included in the Collateral Debt Securities.  All amounts in the Delayed Funding Obligations Account shall be deposited in overnight funds in Eligible Investments and released to fulfill such commitments.  If a Delayed Draw Term Loan is sold or otherwise disposed before the full commitment thereunder has been drawn, or if excess funds remain following the termination of the funding obligation giving rise to the deposit of such funds in the Delayed Funding Obligations Account, such Eligible Investments on deposit in the Delayed Funding Obligations Account for the purpose of fulfilling such commitment shall be transferred to the Principal Collection Account as Principal Proceeds.  The Delayed Funding Obligations Account shall remain at all times with the Corporate Trust Office or a financial

178

institution having a long-term debt rating from each Rating Agency at least equal to “BBB+” or “A2,” as applicable, or a short-term debt rating at least equal to “A-1,” “P-1” or “F-1,” as applicable.

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

(c)The Collateral Manager shall direct the Trustee to withdraw funds from the Delayed Funding Obligation Account to fund amounts drawn under any Delayed Draw Term Loan.  Pursuant to an Issuer Order, all or a portion of the funds, as specified in such Issuer Order, on deposit in the Delayed Funding Obligation Account at any time in excess of the aggregate principal amount of commitments which may be drawn upon under the Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be transferred by the Trustee to the Collection Account as Principal Proceeds.

(a)The Trustee shall prior to the Closing Date establish a single, segregated trust account which shall be designated as the “Expense Account” which shall be held in trust in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and each Hedge Counterparty.  The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the Expense Account shall be to pay (on any day other than a Payment Date) accrued and unpaid Company Administrative Expenses of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer (other than accrued and unpaid expenses and indemnities payable to the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement).  On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deposit into the Expense Account an amount equal to approximately U.S. $11,234,432 from the net proceeds received by the Issuer on such date from the initial issuance of the Notes.  Funds in the Expense Account shall be replenished on each Payment Date, if necessary, in accordance with the Priority of Payments.  On or after the Effective Date, any amount remaining in the Expense Account may, at the election of the Collateral Manager be designated as Interest Proceeds.  On the date on which substantially all of the Issuer’s assets have been sold or otherwise disposed of, the Issuer by Issuer Order executed by an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager shall direct the Trustee to, and, upon receipt of such Issuer Order, the Trustee shall, transfer all amounts on deposit in the Expense Account to the Interest Collection Account for application pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i) as Interest Proceeds.  Amounts credited to the Expense Account may be applied on or prior to the Determination

179

Date preceding the first Payment Date to pay amounts due in connection with the offering of the Notes.

(b)The Trustee agrees to give the Issuer immediate notice if it becomes aware that the Expense Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Expense Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process.  The Issuer shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Expense Account.  The Expense Account shall remain at all times with the Corporate Trust Office of a financial institution having a long-term debt rating by each Rating Agency at least equal to “BBB+” or “Baa1,” as applicable.

(c)The Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may direct the Trustee to, and upon such direction the Trustee shall, invest all funds in the Expense Account in Eligible Investments designated by the Collateral Manager.  All interest and other income from such investments shall be deposited in the Expense Account, any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the Expense Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Expense Account.  The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable (except as a result of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) by reason of any insufficiency of such Expense Account resulting from any loss relating to any such investment, except with respect to investments in obligations of the Trustee or any Affiliate thereof.  If the Trustee does not receive investment instructions from an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager, the Trustee may invest funds received in the Expense Account in Eligible Investments of the type described in clause (ii) of the definition thereto.

Section 10.7Interest Advances.

(a)With respect to each Determination Date for which the sum of Interest Proceeds and, if applicable, Principal Proceeds, collected during the related Due Period that are available to pay interest on the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and the Class B Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments, are insufficient to remit the interest due and payable with respect to the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and the Class B Notes on the following Payment Date (the amount of such insufficiency, an “Interest Shortfall”), the Trustee shall provide the Advancing Agent with written notice of such Interest Shortfall no later than the close of business on the Business Day following such Determination Date.  The Trustee shall provide the Advancing Agent with notice, prior to any funding of an Interest Advance by the Advancing Agent, of any additional interest remittances received by the Trustee after delivery of such initial notice that reduce such Interest Shortfall.  No later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date (but in any event no earlier than one Business Day following the Advancing Agent’s receipt of notice of such Interest Shortfall), the Advancing Agent shall advance the difference between such amounts (each such advance, an “Interest Advance”) by deposit of an amount equal to such Interest Advance in the Payment Account, subject to a determination of recoverability by the Advancing Agent as described in Section 10.7(b), and subject to a maximum limit in respect of any Payment Date equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of such Interest Shortfalls that would otherwise occur on the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and Class B Notes and (ii) the aggregate of the interest payments not received in respect of Non-Advancing Collateral Debt Securities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no circumstance will

180

the Advancing Agent be required to make an Interest Advance in respect of a Non-Advancing Collateral Debt Security (x) to the extent that the aggregate outstanding amount of all unreimbursed Interest Advances would exceed the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes or (y) if the Class A/B Par Value Ratio on the relevant Measurement Date is less than 100%. Any Interest Advance made by the Advancing Agent with respect to a Payment Date that is in excess of the actual Interest Shortfall for such Payment Date shall be refunded to the Advancing Agent by the Trustee on the same Business Day that such Interest Advance was made (or, if such Interest Advance is made prior to final determination by the Trustee of such Interest Shortfall, on the Business Day of such final determination).  The Advancing Agent shall provide the Trustee written notice of a determination by the Advancing Agent that a proposed Interest Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance no later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date (or, in the event that the Advancing Agent did not receive notice of the related Interest Shortfall on the related Determination Date, no later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately following the Advancing Agent’s receipt of notice of such Interest Shortfall).  If the Advancing Agent shall fail to make any required Interest Advance at or prior to the time at which distributions are to be made pursuant to Section 11.1(a), the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, shall be required to make such Interest Advance, subject to a determination of recoverability by the Trustee as described in Section 10.7(b).  The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any affirmative determination by the Advancing Agent that an Interest Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.  Based upon available information at the time, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager or the Advancing Agent will provide fifteen (15) days prior notice to each Rating Agency if recovery of a Nonrecoverable Advance would result in an Interest Shortfall on the next succeeding Payment Date.  No later than the close of business on the Determination Date related to a Payment Date on which the recovery of a Nonrecoverable Advance would result in an Interest Shortfall, the Collateral Manager will provide each Rating Agency notice of such recovery.

(b)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Advancing Agent nor the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, as applicable, shall be required to make any Interest Advance unless such Person determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith that such Interest Advance, or such proposed Interest Advance, plus interest expected to accrue thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, will be recoverable from subsequent payments or collections with respect to all Assets and has determined in its reasonable judgment that the recovery would not result in an Interest Shortfall.  In determining whether any proposed Interest Advance will be, or whether any Interest Advance previously made is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Advancing Agent or the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, as applicable, will take into account:

(i)amounts that may be realized on each Underlying Mortgage Property in its “as is” or then current condition and occupancy;

(ii)that the related Senior Tranches of any Collateral Debt Security may be required to be fully paid and any advances (and interest thereon) made in respect of such Senior Tranches may be required to be fully reimbursed, prior to any amounts recovered

181

in respect of the Underlying Mortgage Properties are allocated or otherwise made available to the Collateral Debt Securities;

(iii)the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to the Underlying Mortgage Properties, the potential length of time before such Interest Advance may be reimbursed and the resulting degree of uncertainty with respect to such reimbursement; and

(iv)the fact that Interest Advances are intended to provide liquidity only and not credit support to the Class A-1 Noteholders, the Class A-2 Noteholders and the Class B Noteholders.

For purposes of any such determination of whether an Interest Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, an Interest Advance will be deemed to be nonrecoverable if the Advancing Agent or the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, as applicable, determines that future Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds may be ultimately insufficient to fully reimburse such Interest Advance, plus interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate within a reasonable period of time.  Absent bad faith, the determination by the Advancing Agent or the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, as applicable, as to the nonrecoverability of any Interest Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Notes.

(c)The Advancing Agent and the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, will each be entitled to recover any previously unreimbursed Interest Advance made by it (including any Nonrecoverable Advance), together with interest thereon, first, from Interest Proceeds and second (to the extent that there are insufficient Interest Proceeds for such reimbursement), from Principal Proceeds to the extent that such reimbursement would not trigger an additional Interest Shortfall; provided that if at any time an Interest Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Advancing Agent or the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, shall be entitled to recover all outstanding Interest Advances from the Collection Accounts on any Business Day during any Interest Accrual Period prior to the related Determination Date (or on a Payment Date prior to any payment of interest on or principal of the Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments).  The Advancing Agent shall be permitted (but not obligated) to defer or otherwise structure the timing of recoveries of Nonrecoverable Advances in such manner as the Advancing Agent determines is in the best interest of the Noteholders as a collective whole, which may include being reimbursed for Nonrecoverable Advances in installments.

(d)The Advancing Agent and the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, will each be entitled with respect to any Interest Advance made by it (including Nonrecoverable Advances) to interest accrued on the amount of such Interest Advance for so long as it is outstanding at the Reimbursement Rate.

(e)The Advancing Agent’s and the Trustee’s obligations to make Interest Advances in respect of the Collateral Debt Securities will continue through the Stated Maturity, unless the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes are previously redeemed or repaid in full.

182

(f)In no event will the Advancing Agent or the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, be required to advance any payments in respect of principal or with respect to any Class of Notes other than the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and the Class B Notes.

(g)In consideration of the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Advancing Agent shall be entitled to receive, at the times set forth herein and subject to the Priority of Payments, to the extent funds are available therefor, the Advancing Agent Fee. In consideration of the Trustee’s back-up advancing obligations hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, at the times set forth herein and subject to the Priority of Payments, to the extent funds are available therefore, the Back-Up Advancing Agent Fee.

(h)The determination by the Advancing Agent or the Trustee, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent, as applicable, (i) that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or (ii) that any proposed Interest Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered promptly to the Trustee (or, if applicable, retained thereby), the Issuer, S&P, Fitch and Moody’s, setting forth the basis for such determination; provided that failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of, or the Advancing Agent or the Trustee’s entitlement to reimbursement with respect to, any Interest Advance.

(i)If a Scheduled Distribution on any Collateral Debt Security is not paid to the Trustee on the Due Date therefor, the Trustee shall provide the Advancing Agent with notice of such default on the Business Day immediately following such default.  In addition, upon request, the Trustee shall provide the Advancing Agent (either electronically or in hard-copy format), with copies of all reports received from any trustee, trust administrator, master servicer or similar administrative entity with respect to the Collateral Debt Securities and the Trustee shall promptly make available to the Advancing Agent any other information reasonably available to the Trustee by reason of its acting as Trustee hereunder to permit the Advancing Agent to make a determination of recoverability with respect to any Interest Advance and to otherwise perform its advancing functions under this Indenture.

(j)Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, the Advancing Agent shall be permitted (but not obligated) to defer or otherwise structure the timing of the recoveries in such a manner as the Advancing Agent determines is in the best interest of the Noteholders as a collective whole, which may include being reimbursed for Nonrecoverable Advances in installments.

The Trustee shall supply, in a timely fashion, to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Preferred Shares Paying Agent and the Collateral Manager any information regularly maintained by the Trustee that the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Preferred Shares Paying Agent or the Collateral Manager may from time to time request with respect to the Pledged Obligations or the Accounts and provide any other information reasonably available to the Trustee by reason of its acting as Trustee hereunder and required to be provided by Section 10.9 or to permit the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations under the Collateral Management Agreement.  The Trustee

ARTICLE 12

SALE OF COLLATERAL DEBT SECURITIES

Section 12.1Sales of Collateral Debt Securities.

(a)Except as otherwise expressly permitted or required by this Indenture, the Issuer shall not sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral Debt Security, provided that subject to satisfaction of any applicable conditions in Section 10.10, so long as (A) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) on or prior to the trade date for such sale the Collateral Manager has certified to the Trustee that each of the conditions applicable to such sale set forth below has been satisfied, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer acting pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement may direct the Trustee in writing to sell, and the Trustee shall sell in the manner directed by the Collateral Manager in writing (which writing shall specify whether such security is a Defaulted Security or Credit Risk Security, if applicable, or whether such security is otherwise permitted to be sold pursuant to this Section 12.1(a)):

(i)any Defaulted Security at any time;

(ii)a Credit Risk Security, (A) during the Reinvestment Period, if the Collateral Manager has certified to the Trustee that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to purchase one or more Substitute Collateral Debt Securities having an Aggregate Principal Balance no less than the Sale Proceeds (excluding accrued interest) from such sale, and after giving effect to such sale and to the purchase of Substitute Collateral Debt Securities with the Sale Proceeds thereof, in the reasonable business judgment of the Collateral Manager (which shall not be called into question solely as a result of subsequent events), the Reinvestment Criteria shall be met and (B) after the Reinvestment Period, at any time;

(iii)if a Collateral Debt Security that is a Defaulted Security is not sold by the Issuer (at the direction of the Collateral Manager) within three (3) years of such Collateral Debt Security becoming a Defaulted Security, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell such Collateral Debt Security as soon as commercially practicable thereafter; and

209

(iv)without limiting the foregoing, (x) any Collateral Debt Security that is a CMBS Security, a CRE CDO Security or a REIT Debt Security and in each case is not a Defaulted Security or a Credit Risk Security, (y) any Participation relating to a Whole Loan that is not a Defaulted Security or a Credit Risk Security and (z) the Caribbean Corporate Center Loan if such Loan is not a Defaulted Security or a Credit Risk Security, may be sold during the Reinvestment Period if (A) the Aggregate Principal Balance of Collateral Debt Securities sold pursuant to this paragraph for a given calendar year does not exceed 15% of the Aggregate Collateral Balance at the beginning of that year, (B) the Collateral Manager believes in good faith that proceeds from the sale of such Collateral Debt Security can be reinvested, within five (5) Business Days after the trade date on which such Collateral Debt Security is sold in one or more Substitute Collateral Debt Securities having an Aggregate Principal Balance of not less than 100% of the Principal Balance of the Collateral Debt Security being sold, (C) after giving effect to such sale and to the purchase of Substitute Collateral Debt Securities with the Sale Proceeds thereof, the Reinvestment Criteria will be met and (D) such Collateral Manager has not been removed, or voted to be removed, for “cause” as described in Section 12 of the Collateral Management Agreement.  For the purpose of effecting the sale of any Participation described in clause (y) above, the Collateral Manager may, on behalf of the Issuer, effect the sale of a Whole Loan to an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager that is either a “special purpose vehicle” or “qualified institutional lender” as typically defined in the Underlying Instruments related to Participations, which Affiliate shall, within one (1) Business Day (i) create two or more Participations in such Whole Loan and (ii) sell back to the Issuer at least one of such Participations; provided that a securitization trust, a CDO issuer or a similar securitization vehicle shall be deemed to be a “special purpose vehicle” for purposes hereof.  For purposes of measuring compliance with the requirements set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, the Issuer shall be deemed to have sold a Participation with a Principal Balance equal to the Principal Balance of the Whole Loan that was sold to an Affiliate less the Principal Balance of the related Participation(s) purchased by the Issuer from such Affiliate.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Manager (at its option and at any time) shall be permitted to effect a sale of a Credit Risk Security or a Defaulted Security hereunder by purchasing (or causing its Affiliate to purchase) such Defaulted Security or Credit Risk Security from the Issuer for a cash purchase price that shall be equal to the sum of (i) the Aggregate Principal Balance thereof plus (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest (or, in the case of a Preferred Equity Security, all accrued and unpaid dividends or other distributions not attributable to the return of capital by its governing documents) thereon.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Advisory Committee consent shall be required in connection with such cash purchase (the “Credit Risk/Defaulted Security Cash Purchase”).

In addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein (and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), the Collateral Manager (at its option but only upon disclosure to, and with the prior consent of, the Advisory Committee) shall be permitted to effect a sale of a Defaulted Security or a Credit Risk Security hereunder by directing the Issuer to exchange such Defaulted Security or Credit Risk Security for (i) a Substitute Collateral Debt Security (that is not a Defaulted Security or a Credit Risk Security)

210

owned by an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager (such Substitute Collateral Debt Security, the “Exchange Security”) or (ii) a combination of an Exchange Security and cash, provided that:

(i)(A) the sum of (1) the Principal Balance of such Exchange Security plus (2) all accrued and unpaid interest (or, in the case of a Preferred Equity Security, all accrued and unpaid dividends or other distributions not attributable to the return of capital by its governing documents) thereon plus (3) the cash amount (if any) to be paid to the Issuer in respect of such exchange by such Affiliate of the Collateral Manager, shall be equal to or greater than (B) the sum of (1) the Principal Balance of such Defaulted Security or Credit Risk Security sought to be substituted plus (2) all accrued and unpaid interest (or, in the case of a Preferred Equity Security, all accrued and unpaid dividends or other distributions not attributable to the return of capital by its governing documents) thereon;

(ii)the Eligibility Criteria and the Reinvestment Criteria shall be satisfied immediately after such exchange; and

(iii)the Aggregate Principal Balance of the Defaulted Securities and Credit Risk Securities so exchanged shall not exceed 10% of the Aggregate Collateral Balance as of the Closing (such limitation, the “10% Limit”).

(c)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, shall (at any time) be permitted to effect a sale of (i) any Origination Agreement Security hereunder by selling (or causing the Trustee to sell) such Origination Agreement Security to SLG (an “Origination Agreement Security Sale”) for a purchase price and upon such terms as determined in accordance with the Origination Agreement and (ii) the Starrett Lehigh Loan, to the extent such Loan is called pursuant to its terms on August 13, 2005.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Advisory Committee consent shall be required in connection with any such sales.

(d)After the Issuer has notified the Trustee of an Optional Redemption, a Clean-Up Call or a Tax Redemption in accordance with Section 9.1 or an Auction Call Redemption in accordance with Section 9.2, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer acting pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement may at any time direct the Trustee in writing to sell, and the Trustee shall sell in the manner directed by the Collateral Manager in writing, any Collateral Debt Security without regard to the foregoing limitations in Section 12.1(a), provided that:

(i)the Sale Proceeds therefrom must be used to pay certain expenses and redeem all of the Notes in whole but not in part pursuant to Sections 9.1 and Section 9.2, and upon any such sale the Trustee shall release such Collateral Debt Security pursuant to Section 10.10;

(ii)the Issuer may not direct the Trustee to sell (and the Trustee shall not be required to release) a Collateral Debt Security pursuant to this Section 12.1(d) unless:

(1)the Collateral Manager certifies to the Trustee that (x) in the Collateral Manager’s judgment based on calculations included in the certification

211

(which shall include the sales prices of each of the Collateral Debt Securities), the Sale Proceeds from the sale of one or more of the Collateral Debt Securities and all Cash and proceeds from Eligible Investments will be at least equal to the Total Redemption Price, and (y) an Independent bond pricing service (which shall be one or more broker-dealers selected by the Collateral Manager which are rated at least “P-1” by Moody’s and at least “A-1+” by Standard & Poor’s and which make a market in the applicable Collateral Debt Securities) has confirmed (which confirmation may be in the form of a firm bid) the sales prices contained in the certification in clause (x) above (and attaching a copy of such confirmation); and

(2)the Independent accountants appointed by the Issuer pursuant to Section 10.11 shall confirm in writing the calculations made in clause (1)(x) above.

(iii)in connection with an Optional Redemption, an Auction Call Redemption, a Clean-up Call or a Tax Redemption, all the Collateral Debt Securities to be sold pursuant to this Section 12.1(d) must be sold in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 9.1(e) and Section 9.2, as applicable.

(e)In the event that any Collateral Debt Security becomes the subject of a conversion, exchange, redemption or offer, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) shall take no action to acquire the asset or instrument into which such Collateral Debt Security is convertible or exchangeable unless such asset or instrument would qualify as a Substitute Collateral Debt Security.  In the event of an involuntary exchange or conversion of a Collateral Debt Security, if the resulting asset or instrument would not qualify as a Substitute Collateral Debt Security, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer) shall use its best efforts to sell such Collateral Debt Security prior to conversion or exchange and, in any event, shall refuse to accept, and shall not acquire or hold, the asset or instrument offered in exchange.

(f)In the event that any Notes remain Outstanding as of the Payment Date occurring six months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes, the Collateral Manager will be required to determine whether proceeds expected to be received on the Assets prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes will be sufficient to pay in full the principal amount of (and accrued interest on) the Notes on the Stated Maturity.  If the Collateral Manager determines, in its sole discretion, that such proceeds will not be sufficient to pay the outstanding principal amount of and accrued interest on the Notes (a “Note Liquidation Event”) on the Stated Maturity of the Notes, the Issuer will, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, be obligated to liquidate the portion of Collateral Debt Securities sufficient to pay the remaining principal amount of and interest on the Notes on or before the Stated Maturity.  The Collateral Debt Securities to be liquidated by the Issuer will be selected by the Collateral Manager.

(iii)if immediately prior to such investment the S&P CDO Monitor Test or the S&P Recovery Test was not satisfied, such test result is maintained or improved after giving effect to such reinvestment; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Sale Proceeds of Collateral Debt Securities may be reinvested as long as the Collateral Manager provides written notice of each such sale and reinvestment to S&P within three (3) Business Days after such reinvestment; and

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, (i) Cash on deposit in the Collection Accounts may be invested in Eligible Investments, pending investment in Substitute Collateral Debt Securities and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Substitute Collateral Debt Security may be acquired unless it was the subject of a commitment entered into by the Issuer prior to the occurrence of such Event of Default.

The Collateral Manager will be required to answer all reasonable and relevant questions by the date specified in the solicitation package and the Collateral Manager will distribute the questions and answers and the revised final Auction Purchase Agreement to all Listed Bidders (with a copy to the Issuer and the Trustee).

(b)Auction Process.

(i)Wells Fargo Bank, National Association or its Affiliates may, but shall not be required to, bid at the Auction.  The Collateral Manager and its Affiliates may bid in the Auction if the Collateral Manager deems such bidding to be appropriate but is not required to do so.

(ii)On the Second Business Day prior to the Auction Date (the “Auction Bid Date”), all bids will be due by facsimile at the offices of the Trustee by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, with the winning bidder or bidders to be notified by 2:00 p.m. New York City time.  All bids from Listed Bidders on the List will be due on the bid sheet contained in the solicitation package. Each bid shall be for the purchase and delivery to one purchaser (i) of all (but not less than all) of the Collateral Debt Securities or (ii) of one or more (but not all) of the Collateral Debt Securities.

(iii)Unless the Trustee receives (A) at least one bid from a Listed Bidder to purchase all of the Collateral Debt Securities or (B) receives bids from one or more Listed Bidders (to purchase one or more (but not all) Collateral Debt Securities) for all Collateral Debt Securities in the aggregate, the Trustee will decline to consummate the sale.

215

(iv)Subject to clause (iii) above, with the advice of the Collateral Manager, the Trustee shall select the bid or bids which result in the Highest Auction Price from one or more Listed Bidders (in excess of the specified minimum purchase price). “Highest Auction Price” means the higher of (i) the highest price bid by any Listed Bidder for all of the Collateral Debt Securities or (ii) the sum of the highest prices bid by one or more Listed Bidders (for one or more (but not all) Collateral Debt Securities) for all Collateral Debt Securities in the aggregate. In each case, the price bid by a Listed Bidder will be the dollar amount which the Collateral Manager certifies to the Trustee based on the Collateral Manager’s review of the bids, which certification shall be binding and conclusive.

(v)Upon notification to the winning bidder or bidders, the winning bidder (or, if the Highest Auction Price requires the sale of the Collateral Debt Securities to more than one bidder, each winning bidder) will be required to deliver to the Trustee a signed counterpart of the Auction Purchase Agreement no later than 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the Auction Date. The winning bidder (or, if the Highest Auction Price requires the sale of the Collateral Debt Securities to more than one bidder, each winning bidder) will make payment in full of the purchase price on the Business Day (the “Auction Purchase Closing Date”) specified in the general solicitation package (which will be no later than ten Business Days prior to the proposed Auction Call Redemption Date). If a winning bidder so requests, the Trustee and the Issuer will enter into a bailee letter in the form agreed upon by the Trustee and the Collateral Manager to this Indenture (a “Bailee Letter”) with each winning bidder and its designated bank (which bank will be subject to approval by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer), provided that such bank enters into an account control agreement with the Trustee and the Issuer and has a long term debt rating of at least “BBB+” by Standard & Poor’s and (if rated by Fitch) at least “BBB+” by Fitch and (if rated by Moody’s) at least “A2” by Moody’s. If the above requirements are satisfied, the Trustee will deliver the Collateral Debt Securities (to be sold to such bidder) pursuant thereto to the bailee bank at least one Business Day prior to the closing on the sale of the Collateral Debt Securities and accept payment of the purchase price pursuant thereto. If payment in full of the purchase price is not made by the Auction Purchase Closing Date for any reason whatsoever (or, if the Collateral Debt Securities are to be sold to more than one bidder, if any bidder fails to make payment in full of the purchase price by the Auction Purchase Closing Date for any reason whatsoever), the Issuer will decline to consummate the sale of all Collateral Debt Securities, the Trustee and the Issuer will direct the bailee bank to return the Collateral Debt Securities to the Trustee, and (if notice of redemption has been given by the Trustee) the Trustee will give notice (in accordance with the terms of this Indenture) that the Auction Call Redemption will not occur.

(vi)Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.2(b), the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates, although it may not have been the highest bidder, will have the option to purchase any one or more Collateral Debt Securities for a purchase price equal to the highest bid therefor.

216

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 12.4, but subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.2(b) and the consummation of the Auction Call Redemption, at the election of the Collateral Manager, in lieu of initiating or conducting any Auction, the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates will have the option to purchase all of the Collateral Debt Securities that would otherwise be subject to such Auction for a price equal to the Total Redemption Price.  Such purchase of Collateral Debt Securities by the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 12.4(c) will be deemed to be a Successful Auction pursuant to this Indenture.

Section 12.5Modifications to Collateral Quality Tests or Coverage Tests.

In the event any of the Rating Agencies modifies the definitions or calculations relating to (i) the method of calculating any of its respective Collateral Quality Tests (a “Collateral Quality Test Modification”) or (ii) any of the Coverage Tests (a “Coverage Test Modification”), in either case in order to correspond with published changes in the guidelines, methodology or standards established by such Rating Agency, the Issuer may, but is under no obligation solely as a result of this Section 12.5 to, incorporate corresponding changes into the Indenture by an amendment hereto without the consent of the Holders of the Notes (but with written notice to the Noteholders) or the Preferred Shares if (x)(1) in the case of a Collateral Quality Test Modification, the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to the Rating Agency that made such modification or (2) in the case of a Coverage Test Modification, the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to each Rating Agency then rating the Notes and (y) written notice of such modification is delivered by the Collateral Manager to the Trustee and to the Holders of the Notes and Preferred Shares (which notice may be included in the next regularly scheduled report to Noteholders).  Any such Collateral Quality Test Modification or Coverage Test Modification, as the case may be, shall be effected without execution of a supplemental indenture; provided, however, that such amendment shall be (i) evidenced by a written instrument executed and delivered by each of the Co-Issuers and the Collateral Manager and delivered to the Trustee, (ii) accompanied by delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of (A) an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer certifying that such amendment has been made pursuant to and in compliance with this Section 12.5 and (B) if requested by the Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Section 12.5 and that all applicable conditions precedent under this Section 12.5 have been satisfied, on which such Officer’s Certificate or such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such amendment reasonably determined by the Trustee to be unduly burdensome to the Trustee, shall not take effect without the Trustee’s express written consent.

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

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

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

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Trustee at the request or direction of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, then notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer’s or the Co-Issuer’s rights to make such request or direction, the Trustee shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such Default or Event of Default as provided in Section 6.1(e).

Section 14.2Acts of Securityholders.

(a)Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Securityholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer.  Such instrument or instruments (and the action or actions

224

embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Securityholders signing such instrument or instruments.  Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 14.2.

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

(d)Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Securityholder shall bind such Securityholder (and any transferee thereof) of such Security and of every Security issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Preferred Shares Paying Agent, the Shares Registrar, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

Section 14.4Notices to Noteholders; Waiver.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Notes of any event,

(a)such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Notes if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Note affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Notes Register, not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice;

(b)such notice shall be in the English language;

(c)such notice shall also be provided to the Irish Paying Agent (for so long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange); and

(d)all reports or notices to Preferred Shareholders shall be sufficiently given if provided in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Preferred Shares Paying Agent.

Notwithstanding clause (a) above, a Holder of Notes may give the Trustee written notice that it is requesting that notices to it be given by facsimile transmissions and stating the facsimile number for such transmission.  Thereafter, the Trustee shall give notices to such Holder by facsimile transmission; provided that if such notice also requests that notices be given by mail, then such notice shall also be given by mail in accordance with clause (a) above.

The Trustee shall deliver to the Holders of the Notes any information or notice requested to be so delivered by at least 25% of the Holders of any Class of Notes.

Neither the failure to mail any notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Note shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Notes.  In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification to Holders of Notes shall be made with the approval of the Trustee and shall constitute sufficient notification to such Holders of Notes for every purpose hereunder.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.  Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall

227

be filed with the Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

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

For so long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, all notices to Noteholders of such Notes will be published in the Daily Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange.

In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

(a)The Issuer, in furtherance of the covenants of this Indenture and as security for the Notes and amounts payable to the Noteholders hereunder and the performance and observance of the provisions hereof, hereby collaterally assigns, transfers, conveys and sets over to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders and each Hedge Counterparty, all of

(b)The assignment made hereby is executed as collateral security, and the execution and delivery hereby shall not in any way impair or diminish the obligations of the Issuer under the provisions of each of the Article 15 Agreements, nor shall any of the obligations contained in each of the Article 15 Agreements be imposed on the Trustee.

(c)Upon the retirement of the Notes, the payment by the Issuer of all amounts payable under each Hedge Agreement and the release of the Assets from the lien of this Indenture, this assignment and all rights herein assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and each Hedge Counterparty shall cease and terminate and all the estate, right, title and interest of the Trustee in, to and under each of the Article 15 Agreements shall revert to the Issuer and no further instrument or act shall be necessary to evidence such termination and reversion.

(f)The Issuer hereby agrees, and hereby undertakes to obtain the agreement and consent of the Seller and the Collateral Manager, as applicable, in the Collateral Debt Securities Purchase Agreements and the Collateral Management Agreement, as applicable, to the following:

ARTICLE 16

HEDGE AGREEMENT

Section 16.1Issuer’s Obligations under Hedge Agreement.

(a)On the Closing Date and thereafter, and on and after any date on which the Issuer enters into an additional or replacement Hedge Agreement (including any related Hedge Counterparty Credit Support), the Issuer as directed by the Collateral Manager shall (i) require that each Hedge Counterparty thereto, or any third party (including an Affiliate of such Hedge Counterparty) that (A) has absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of the Hedge Counterparty under the related Hedge Agreement (with such form of guaranty as shall be satisfactory to each Rating Agency then rating any Notes hereunder), (B) has entered into credit intermediation arrangements in respect of the obligations of the Hedge Counterparty under the related Hedge Agreement satisfactory to each Rating Agency then rating any Notes hereunder, (C) is the issuing bank on one or more letters of credit supporting the obligations of the Hedge Counterparty under the related Hedge Agreement and that shall be reasonably acceptable to each Rating Agency then rating any Notes hereunder or (D) has provided any other additional credit support and such inclusion of additional credit support shall have satisfied the Rating Agency Condition (any such third party, including an Affiliate of such Hedge Counterparty, a “Hedge Counterparty Credit Support Provider”)) has obtained, and will maintain (at the Hedge Counterparty’s or the Hedge Counterparty’s Credit Support Provider’s expense), with respect to itself as an issuer or with respect to its indebtedness, credit ratings at least equal to the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Threshold Ratings, if any, by each Rating Agency then rating any Notes hereunder, (ii) except with respect to a Form-Approved Liability Hedge, obtain a written confirmation from each Rating Agency then rating any Notes hereunder that any additional or replacement Hedge Agreement and the related Hedge Counterparty would not cause such Rating Agency’s then-current rating on any Class of Notes to be adversely qualified, reduced, suspended or withdrawn and (iii) assign and grant a security interest in such Hedge Agreement to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture.  Each Hedge Agreement will provide that no amendment, modification or waiver in respect of such Hedge Agreement, including any additional or replacement Hedge Agreement will be effective unless (A) evidenced by a writing executed by each party thereto, (B) the Trustee has acknowledged its consent thereto in writing and (C) each Rating Agency confirms that such amendment, modification or waiver will not cause the reduction or withdrawal of its then-current rating on any Class of Notes.

(b)The Trustee shall, on behalf of the Issuer, pay amounts due to each Hedge Counterparty under the related Hedge Agreements in accordance with Section 10.2(f), the Priority of Payments and Section 16.1(g) hereof.

(c)The notional amount of certain Hedge Agreements providing for floating rate payments to the Issuer will be calculated as a percentage of the principal amount of the

232

Notes originally anticipated to be Outstanding on each Payment Date based on certain assumptions.  In accordance with the terms of each Hedge Agreement, such notional amount will be reduced by the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) or each Hedge Counterparty on each Payment Date to the extent that (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Notes is less than the scheduled aggregate notional amount of the related Hedge Agreements for such Payment Date and/or (ii) the Net Outstanding Portfolio Balance is less than the scheduled aggregate notional amount of the related Hedge Agreements for such Payment Date and/or (iii) in the case of a Liability Hedge or other single asset-specific Hedge Agreement, the outstanding Principal Balance of the related underlying Collateral Debt Security is less than a percentage (as set forth in the related Hedge Agreement) of the Scheduled material amount of the related Hedge Agreement; provided that if any Notes are then Outstanding, the Trustee shall first have received written evidence that the Rating Agency Condition with respect to Moody’s and S&P has been satisfied with respect to such reduction other than as scheduled and Fitch shall have been notified of such reduction other than as scheduled.  Additionally, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to Moody’s and S&P and the notification of Fitch in respect thereof, a termination in part of a Hedge Agreement and a corresponding reduction in the notional amount of the Hedge Agreement may occur, in the event of a Mandatory Redemption or Special Amortization of the Notes.  The Issuer’s remaining obligations in accordance with the Priority of Payments will not be affected by any such reduction.  Notwithstanding any right of the Issuer to terminate each Hedge Agreement or related Hedge Counterparty Credit Support upon the occurrence of a Termination Event or an Event of Default (each as defined in each Hedge Agreement) or otherwise pursuant to a Hedge Agreement, the Issuer shall not (x) terminate any Hedge Agreement or Hedge Counterparty Credit Support or (y) cause the non-replacement of any terminated Hedge Agreement, unless in each case the Issuer notifies Fitch thereof and obtains a written confirmation from Moody’s and S&P that such termination or non-replacement, as applicable, would not cause such Rating Agency’s then-current rating on any Class of Notes, as applicable, to be adversely qualified, reduced, suspended or withdrawn.

(d)Each Hedge Agreement shall provide for termination, and shall be capable of being terminated (i) by or on behalf of the Issuer upon the failure of the related Hedge Counterparty to post collateral under a Hedge Counterparty Credit Support within the time period specified in the related Hedge Agreement or provide other alternate credit enhancement in accordance with the related Hedge Agreement, and upon the failure of the related Hedge Counterparty to transfer (at the Hedge Counterparty’s sole cost and expense) all of its rights and obligations under the related Hedge Agreement to a Qualified Hedge Party or subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, to a Counterparty that maintains the Hedge Counterparty Required Ratings within the time period specified in the related Hedge Agreement, after the failure of the related Hedge Counterparty (or any Hedge Counterparty Credit Support Provider) to have the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Threshold Ratings; (ii) by or on behalf of the Issuer upon the failure of the related Hedge Counterparty to transfer (at the related Hedge Counterparty’s sole cost and expense) all of its rights and obligations under the related Hedge Agreement to a Qualified Hedge Party within the time period specified in the related Hedge Agreement after the failure of the related Hedge Counterparty (or any Hedge Counterparty Credit Support Provider) to have the Hedge Counterparty Required Ratings (provided, however, that the related Hedge Counterparty shall continue to post collateral and use its best efforts to find a replacement pursuant to the related Hedge Agreement until the

233

earlier to occur of termination of the related Hedge Agreement by or on behalf of the Issuer or consummation of a Permitted Transfer (as defined in and in accordance with the terms of the related Hedge Agreement)) unless the Issuer has received written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such failure would not cause such Rating Agency’s then-current rating on any Class of Notes to be adversely qualified, reduced, suspended or withdrawn, (iii) by the related Hedge Counterparty, upon the failure of the Issuer to make, when due, any scheduled periodic payments under the related Hedge Agreement, (iv) in whole or in part as provided in the related Hedge Agreement, upon the final sale of the Assets, an Auction Call Redemption, an Optional Redemption, a Clean-up Call or a Tax Redemption, (v) in part as provided in the related Hedge Agreement, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to Moody’s and S&P, upon a Mandatory Redemption or a Special Amortization, (vi) by the related Hedge Counterparty upon any declaration by the Trustee that the Notes have become due and payable or (vii) as otherwise expressly provided for in the related Hedge Agreement.  Each Hedge Agreement will further require a Hedge Counterparty, under the conditions described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, to provide Hedge Counterparty Credit Support, although the provision of Hedge Counterparty Credit Support will not satisfy or discharge each Hedge Counterparty’s obligation to transfer all of its rights and obligations under the related Hedge Agreement to a Qualified Hedge Party.  The Issuer shall satisfy the Rating Agency Condition with respect to Moody’s and S&P with respect to any such termination of any provision of Hedge Counterparty Credit Support and of any transfer of all of the rights and obligations of any Hedge Counterparty under any Hedge Agreement.

(e)The Trustee shall, prior to the Closing Date, establish a single, segregated trust account with respect to each Hedge Counterparty in the name of the Trustee, each designated as the “Hedge Collateral Account,” which shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders and the applicable Hedge Counterparty, over which the Trustee shall have exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal, and in which no Person other than the Trustee and the Noteholders and the applicable Hedge Counterparty shall have any legal or beneficial interest.  The Trustee shall deposit all collateral received from the related Hedge Counterparty under the related Hedge Agreement in the related Hedge Collateral Account.  Any and all funds at any time on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, each Hedge Collateral Account shall be held in trust by the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.  The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, each Hedge Collateral Account shall be (i) for application to obligations of the applicable Hedge Counterparty to the Issuer under the related Hedge Agreement in accordance with the terms of such Hedge Agreement or (ii) to return collateral to the applicable Hedge Counterparty when and as required by the related Hedge Agreement, which the Trustee shall return to the applicable Hedge Counterparty in accordance with the related Hedge Agreement.  Each Hedge Collateral Account shall remain at all times with the Corporate Trust Office or a financial institution having a long-term debt rating at least equal to “A-” or “A2,” as applicable, or a short-term debt rating at least equal to “A-1,” “P-1” or “F1,” as applicable.

(f)Upon the default by a Hedge Counterparty in the payment when due of its obligations to the Issuer under the related Hedge Agreement (following the expiration of any applicable grace period), the Trustee or the Collateral Manager shall forthwith provide facsimile notice thereof to the Issuer, each of the Rating Agencies and, if applicable, any Hedge Counterparty Credit Support Provider.  When the Trustee becomes aware of such

default, the Trustee shall make a demand on the applicable Hedge Counterparty, or any Hedge Counterparty Credit Support Provider, if applicable, demanding payment forthwith.  The Trustee shall give notice to the Noteholders and further notice to the Collateral Manager upon the continuing failure by such Hedge Counterparty or any Hedge Counterparty Credit Support Provider to perform its obligations during the two Business Days following a demand made by the Trustee on such Hedge Counterparty or any such Hedge Counterparty Credit Support Provider.

(g)Upon the termination or partial termination of each Hedge Agreement, the Issuer at the direction of the Collateral Manager and the Trustee shall take such commercially reasonable actions (following the expiration of any applicable grace period and after the expiration of the applicable time period set forth in the related Hedge Agreement) to enforce the rights of the Issuer and the Trustee thereunder as may be permitted by the terms of the related Hedge Agreement and consistent with the terms hereof, and shall apply the proceeds of any such actions (including, without limitation, the proceeds of the liquidation of any collateral pledged by or on behalf of each Hedge Counterparty) to enter into an additional or replacement Hedge Agreements within 30 days of the expiration of any such grace period and such applicable time period as set forth in the related Hedge Agreement on substantially identical terms or on such other terms as required by the related Hedge Counterparty to any such additional or replacement Hedge Agreement as each Rating Agency may confirm in writing would not cause such Rating Agency’s then-current rating of any Class of Notes, as applicable, to be, adversely qualified, reduced, suspended or withdrawn.  The Trustee shall, promptly after the Closing Date, in respect of each Hedge Counterparty, establish a single segregated trust account in the name of the Trustee, each designated the “Hedge Termination Account,” which shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders and each Hedge Counterparty and over which the Trustee will have exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal, and in each of which no person other than the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparty will have any legal or beneficial interest.  Each Hedge Collateral Account shall remain at all times with the Corporate Trust Office or a financial institution having a long-term debt rating at least equal to “A-” or “A2,” as applicable, or a short-term debt rating at least equal to “A-1,” “P-1” or “F1,” as applicable.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, any payments (other than payments relating to past-due scheduled payments on a Hedge Agreement) received by the Issuer or Trustee in connection with either (x) the termination (in whole or in part) of a related Hedge Agreement or (y) the execution of an additional or replacement Hedge Agreements shall be immediately transferred to the Trustee for deposit into the related Hedge Termination Account.  Any costs attributable to entering into an additional or replacement Hedge Agreements (other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer as provided for and defined in the related Hedge Agreement) with respect to the related Hedge Counterparty shall be paid from the related Hedge Termination Account, and any such amounts which are payable but exceed the balance in the related Hedge Termination Account shall be borne solely by the Issuer and shall constitute expenses payable under clause (5) of Section 11.1(a)(i) hereof.  Additionally, any amounts that are due and payable to a Hedge Counterparty upon a termination of a Hedge Agreement shall be paid from any amounts on deposit in the related Hedge Termination Account, and, to the extent the amounts on deposit in such Hedge Termination Account are insufficient to pay all such amounts, then such amounts will be payable in accordance with Sections 11.1(a)(i) and (ii) hereof.  Any amounts remaining on deposit in a Hedge Termination Account related to a

235

Hedge Agreement following payment to the Hedge Counterparty shall be transferred to the Principal Collection Account and shall constitute Principal Proceeds.  If determining the amount payable under the terminated Hedge Agreement, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall seek quotations in accordance with the terms of the related Hedge Agreement from reference market-makers who satisfy the definition of Qualified Hedge Party herein.  Each Hedge Agreement may provide that the applicable Hedge Counterparty is responsible for determining the amounts payable in certain circumstances.  In addition, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the termination of the related Hedge Agreement to become effective simultaneously with the effectiveness of a replacement thereto, described as aforesaid.

(h)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, for so long as any Class of Notes is Outstanding under this Indenture and is rated by Fitch, if any Hedge Counterparty fails to maintain the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Threshold Rating with respect to Fitch, then such Hedge Counterparty shall, within 30 days, at such Hedge Counterparty’s election,

(i)            obtain a guaranty of its obligations under each related Hedge Agreements from a Person that satisfies the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Threshold Rating with respect to Fitch;

(ii)           assign its obligations under the related Hedge Agreement to a Person that satisfies the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Threshold Rating with respect to Fitch; or

In addition, for so long as any Class of Notes is Outstanding under this Indenture and are rated by Fitch, if any Hedge Counterparty fails to maintain a rating by Fitch of at least “BBB-”, then such Hedge Counterparty shall within 30 days, at such Hedge Counterparty’s expense, either (i) transfer and assign its obligations under each related Hedge Agreement to a substitute Hedge Counterparty that has the same rating level of such Hedge Counterparty before the downgrade or (ii) provide alternative credit support satisfactory to Fitch.

(i)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, for so long as any Class of Notes is Outstanding under this Indenture and is rated by (i) S&P if any Hedge Counterparty falls below (A) a rating by S&P of at least “A+” (if such Hedge Counterparty does not have a short-term debt rating from S&P) or (B) a short-term debt rating by S&P of at least “A-1”, then such Hedge Counterparty shall, within 30 days, post collateral in respect of its obligations under the related Hedge Agreement.

Section 16.2Collateral Debt Securities Purchase Agreements.

Following the Closing Date, unless a Collateral Debt Securities Purchase Agreement is necessary to comply with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer may acquire Collateral Debt Securities in accordance with customary settlement procedures in the relevant markets. In any event, the Issuer shall obtain from any seller of a Loan, all Underlying Instruments with respect to each Collateral Debt Security and all Underlying

236

Instruments related to any related Senior Tranche that govern, directly or indirectly, the rights and obligations of the owner of the Collateral Debt Security with respect to the Underlying Term Loan, the Underlying Mortgage Property and the Collateral Debt Security and any certificate evidencing the Collateral Debt Security.

Section 16.3Cure Rights.

(a)If the Issuer, as holder of a Loan, has the right pursuant to the related Underlying Instruments to cure an event of default on the Underlying Term Loan, the Collateral Manager may, in accordance with the Collateral Manager Servicing Standard advance from its own funds with respect to the Loan as a reimbursable Cure Advance, all such amounts as are necessary to effect the timely cure of such event of default pursuant to the terms of the related Underlying Instruments; provided that (i) such advances may only be made (A) to the extent that the Collateral Manager reasonably believes that such cash advances can be repaid from future payments on the related underlying commercial mortgage loan and in accordance with the Collateral Manager’s Servicing Standard and (B) if the Collateral Manager receives written instruction from holders of at least a Majority of the aggregate outstanding notional amount of the Preferred Shares with respect thereto, and (ii) the particular advance would not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Cure Advance.  The determination by the Collateral Manager that it has made a Nonrecoverable Cure Advance or that any proposed Cure Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Cure Advance shall be made by the Collateral Manager in its reasonable good faith judgment in accordance with the Collateral Manager Servicing Standard and shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered promptly to the Trustee, setting forth the basis for such determination, accompanied by an appraisal, if available, or an independent broker’s opinion of the value of the Underlying Mortgage Property and any information that the Collateral Manager may have obtained and that supports such determination.  The Collateral Manager will be entitled to reimbursement from any subsequent payments or recoveries on each Collateral Debt Security in respect of which it makes a Cure Advance in accordance with the Priority of Payments if such reimbursement would not cause an Interest Shortfall; provided that, if at any time the Collateral Manager shall determine in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith and in accordance with the Collateral Manager Servicing Standard, that a Cure Advance previously made is a Nonrecoverable Cure Advance, the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to reimbursements for such Nonrecoverable Cure Advance from subsequent payments or collections with respect to the Assets on any Business Day during any Interest Accrual Period prior to the related Determination Date (or on a Payment Date prior to any payment of interest on or principal of the Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Manager will be permitted (but not obligated) to defer or otherwise structure the timing of recovery of any Nonrecoverable Cure Advance in such manner as the Collateral Manager determines is in the best interest of the Noteholders as a collective whole, which may include being reimbursed for such Nonrecoverable Cure Advance in installments; provided that the Collateral Manager will not be permitted to defer recovery of any Nonrecoverable Cure Advance (or any portion thereof) on any Payment Date to the extent that there are amounts available to be distributed to the Preferred Shares Paying Agent for deposit into the Preferred Shares Distribution Account on such Payment Date for

237

distribution to the holders of the Preferred Shares in accordance with the Priority of Payments without regard to such deferral.

(b)On the Business Day preceding each Determination Date, the Collateral Manager may request by Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, reimbursement for any (x) Cure Advance or (y) Nonrecoverable Cure Advance, from any amounts received with respect to the related Collateral Debt Security or the Assets, respectively.  No later than the Payment Date related to the Determination Date for which the Collateral Manager has delivered an Officer’s Certificate requesting reimbursement of a Cure Advance or a Nonrecoverable Cure Advance, the Trustee shall transfer to the Collateral Manager, by wire transfer to an account identified to the Trustee in writing, the amount of such Cure Advance or Nonrecoverable Cure Advance, as applicable.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Collateral Manager shall not be required to make any Cure Advance that it determines in its reasonable, good faith judgment would constitute a Nonrecoverable Cure Advance as determined pursuant to Section 16.3(a).

Section 16.4Purchase Right; Majority Preferred Shares Holder.

If the Issuer, as holder of a Participation or B Note, has the right pursuant to the related Underlying Instruments to purchase any related Senior Tranche(s), the Issuer may, and shall if directed by the Majority Preferred Shares Holder, exercise such right, if the Collateral Manager determines based on the Collateral Manager Servicing Standard that the exercise of the option would be in the best interest of the Noteholders, but may not exercise such right if the Collateral Manager determines otherwise.  The Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying such determination, accompanied by an Act of the Majority Preferred Shares Holder directing the Issuer to exercise such right.  In connection with the purchase of any such Senior Tranche(s), the Issuer shall assign to the Majority Preferred Shares Holder or its designee all of its right, title and interest in such Senior Tranche(s) in exchange for a purchase price (such price and any other associated expense of such exercise to be paid by the Majority Preferred Shares Holder) of the Senior Tranche(s) (or, if the Underlying Instruments permit, the Issuer may assign the purchase right to the Majority Preferred Shares Holder or its designee; otherwise the Majority Preferred Shares Holder or its designee shall fund the purchase by the Issuer, which shall then assign the Senior Tranche(s) to the Majority Preferred Shares Holder or its designee) (the “Purchase Option Purchase Price”), which amount shall be delivered by the Majority Preferred Shares Holder or its designee from its own funds to or upon the instruction of the Collateral Manager in accordance with terms of the Underlying Instruments related to the acquisition of such Senior Tranche(s).  The Trustee or the Issuer shall execute and deliver at the Majority Preferred Shares Holder’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Majority Preferred Shares Holder, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title to the Majority Preferred Shares Holder or its designee of the Senior Tranche(s) and the Trustee shall have no responsibility with regard to such Senior Tranche(s).  As long as the Issuer owns the related Collateral Debt Security, the Issuer shall not exercise any purchase rights with respect to a Participation or B Note that is a pari passu interest relative to another Participation or B Note related to the same mortgage loan; provided, however, that the Collateral Manager may (in accordance with the Collateral Manager Servicing Standard)

238

assign such right to third parties to the extent that it is able to do so pursuant to the terms of the related Underlying Instruments.

Pursuant to Section 9.6 of the Indenture, if any Coverage Tests applicable to any Class of Notes are not met on a Measurement Date, then on the following Payment Date certain Interest Proceeds and certain Principal Proceeds may be used to redeem the Notes, in the order and manner provided in Section 9.6 of the Indenture, until each applicable Coverage Test is satisfied.

Pursuant to Section 9.7 of the Indenture, the Notes may be amortized in part by the Issuer (at the election and direction of the Collateral Manager) if, during the Reinvestment Period, under certain circumstances, the Collateral Manager has been unable, for a period of at least 30 consecutive days, to identify Substitute Collateral Debt Securities that it determines would be appropriate and would meet the Eligibility Criteria in sufficient amounts to permit the reinvestment of all or a portion of the Principal Proceeds then on deposit in the Principal Collection Account and the amounts on deposit in the Unused Proceeds Account in Substitute Collateral Debt Securities.

The remedies of the Trustee or the Holder hereof, as provided herein or in the Indenture, shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued solely against the assets of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer.  No failure on the part of the Holder in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver or release thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy hereunder.

This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE AGREES NOT TO CAUSE THE FILING OF A PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY AGAINST THE ISSUER OR THE CO-ISSUER IN ANY APPLICABLE OR RELEVANT JURISDICTION UNTIL AT LEAST ONE YEAR AND ONE DAY, OR IF LONGER THE APPLICABLE PREFERENCE PERIOD THEN IN EFFECT PLUS ONE DAY, AFTER THE PAYMENT IN FULL OF ALL NOTES ISSUED UNDER THE INDENTURE.

Schedule F

LIBOR

The London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

(1)On the second London Banking Day preceding the first Business Day of an Interest Accrual Period (each such day, a “LIBOR Determination Date”), LIBOR (other than for the initial Interest Accrual Period) will equal the rate, as obtained by the Calculation Agent, for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a period of three months, which appears on the Moneyline Telerate Service Page 3750 (or such other page as may replace that page on that service, or such other service as may be nominated as the information vendor, for the purpose of displaying comparable rates or prices) (the “Telerate Page 3750”), in each case as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date. “London Banking Day” means any day on which commercial banks are open for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London, England.

(2)If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the Calculation Agent will determine LIBOR on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. Dollars are offered by Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of three months commencing on the LIBOR Determination Date and in a representative amount of $1,000. The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the Calculation Agent, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the LIBOR Determination Date for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for a period of three months commencing on the LIBOR Determination Date and in a representative amount of $1,000. As used herein, “Reference Banks” means four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent and approved by the Collateral Manager.

(3)In respect of the initial Interest Accrual Period, LIBOR will be determined through the use of straight line interpolation by reference to three months deposits in U.S. Dollars and four months deposits in U.S. Dollars determined in accordance with clauses (a) and (b) above, one of which will be determined as if the maturity of the U.S. Dollar deposits referred to therein were the period of time for which rates are available next shorter than the Interest Accrual Period and the other of which will be determined as if such maturity were the period of time for which rates are available next longer than the Interest Accrual Period; provided that if an Interest Accrual Period is less than or equal to seven days, then LIBOR will be determined by reference to a rate calculated in accordance with clauses (a) and (b) above as if the maturity of the Dollar deposits referred to therein were a period of time equal to seven days.

In making the above calculations, (i) all percentages resulting from the calculation (other than the calculation determined pursuant to clause (c) above) will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point (0.00001%) and (ii) all percentages determined pursuant to clause (c) above will be rounded, if necessary, in accordance with the method set forth in (i), but to the same degree of accuracy as the two rates used to make the determination (except that such percentages will not be rounded to a lower degree of accuracy than the nearest one thousandth of a percentage point (0.001%)).
