(iii)           if there is not a rating by S&P on the issuer or on an obligation of the issuer, then the S&P Rating may be determined pursuant to clauses (a) through (c) below:

(a)

if an obligation of the issuer is publicly rated by Moody's, then the S&P Rating will be determined in accordance with the methodologies for establishing the ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Rating set forth above except that the S&P Rating of such obligation will be the S&P equivalent of the ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Rating;

(b)

Section 1.3.            Assumptions as to Assets. In connection with all calculations required to be made pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Scheduled Distributions on any Asset, or any payments on any other assets included in the Assets, with respect to the sale of and reinvestment in Collateral Obligations, and with respect to the income that can be earned on Scheduled Distributions on such Assets and on any other amounts that may be received for deposit in the Collection Account, the provisions set forth in this Section 1.3 shall be applied. The provisions of this Section 1.3 shall be applicable to any determination or calculation that is covered by this Section 1.3, whether or not reference is specifically made to Section 1.3, unless some other method of calculation or determination is expressly specified in the particular provision.

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

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

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

(d)           Each Scheduled Distribution receivable with respect to a Collateral Obligation shall be assumed to be received on the applicable Due Date, and each such Scheduled Distribution shall be assumed to be immediately deposited in the Collection Account to earn interest at the Assumed Reinvestment Rate. All such funds shall be assumed to continue to earn interest until the date on which they are required to be available in the Collection Account for application, in accordance with the terms hereof, to payments of principal of or interest on the Debt or other amounts payable pursuant to this Indenture. For purposes of the applicable determinations required by Section 10.7(b)(v), Article XII and the definition of "Interest Coverage Ratio", the expected interest on the Secured Debt and Floating Rate Obligations will be calculated using the then current interest rates applicable thereto.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(l)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, all monetary calculations under this Indenture and the Credit Agreements shall be in Dollars based on the Applicable FX Rate to the extent necessary.

(m)          Any reference herein to an amount of the Collateral Trustee's, the Loan Agent's or the Collateral Administrator's fees calculated with respect to a period at a per annum rate shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360 and shall be based on the aggregate face amount of the Assets.

(n)           To the extent of any ambiguity in the interpretation of any definition or term contained in this Indenture or in the Credit Agreements or to the extent more than one methodology can be used to make any of the determinations or calculations set forth herein, (x) the Collateral Manager may direct the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, as to the interpretation and/or methodology to be used or (y) the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent or the Collateral Administrator, as applicable, may, but shall not be obligated to, request direction from the Collateral Manager as to the interpretation and/or methodology to be used, and, in each case, the Collateral Administrator shall follow such direction, and together with the Collateral Trustee, and the Loan Agent, shall be entitled to conclusively rely thereon without any responsibility or liability therefor.

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

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

(q)           For all purposes where expressly used in this Indenture, the "principal balance" and "outstanding principal balance" shall exclude capitalized interest (other than any such interest that was added to principal on or before the date when such Collateral Obligation was acquired by the Issuer), if any.

(r)            [Reserved].

(s)           For the purposes of the definition of Collateral Obligation, the reference to the "purchase" of an obligation shall include the purchase of an obligation with cash, the receipt of an obligation by the Issuer in connection with a Contribution and the receipt of a new obligation in connection with the redemption and re-issuance of an obligation in a cashless roll where the redemption proceeds with respect to the Collateral Obligation being redeemed are "rolled" into the new obligation.

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

(u)           Any direction or Issuer Order required hereunder relating to the purchase, acquisition, sale, disposition or other transfer of Assets may be in the form of a trade ticket, confirmation of trade, instruction to post or to commit to the trade or similar instrument or document or other written instruction (including by email or other electronic communication) from the Collateral Manager on which the Collateral Trustee and the Collateral Administrator may rely.

(v)           [Reserved].

(w)           To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, whenever herein the Collateral Manager is permitted or required to make a decision in its "sole discretion," "reasonable discretion" or "discretion" or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Issuer, Holders or any other Person. The intent of granting authority to act in its "discretion" to the Collateral Manager is that no other express consent of another party is required to be obtained by the Collateral Manager when acting pursuant to such grant of authority under this Indenture; provided that any action taken pursuant to such grant of discretion is consistent with the legal, contractual and fiduciary duties owed by the Collateral Manager. If any questions should arise with respect to the operation of the Issuer that are not specifically provided for in this Indenture, or with respect to the interpretation of this Indenture, the Collateral Manager is authorized to make a final determination in its sole discretion with respect to any such question, and its determination and interpretation so made shall be final and binding on all parties.

(x)            All calculations related to Maturity Amendments, sales of Collateral Obligations, the Investment Criteria (and definitions related to sales of Collateral Obligations and the Investment Criteria), and other tests that would be calculated cumulatively since the Closing Date shall be reset at zero on the date of any Refinancing of all Classes of Secured Notes.

(y)           For the avoidance of doubt, unless expressly stated otherwise, references herein to (i) the "redemption" of Debt shall be understood to refer, in the case of the Class A-1L-1 Loans, the Class A-1L-2 Loans, the Class A-2L Loans and/or the Class ▇-▇ Loans, to the repayment of the Class A-1L-1 Loans, the Class A-1L-2 Loans, the Class A-2L Loans and/or the Class ▇-▇ Loans by the Issuer pursuant to the applicable Credit Agreement, (ii) references to the "issuance" of Debt or to the "execution," "authentication" and/or "delivery" of Debt shall be understood to refer, in the case of the Class A-1L-1 Loans, the Class A-1L-2 Loans, the Class A-2L Loans and/or the Class ▇-▇ Loans, to the incurrence of the Class A-1L-1 Loans, the Class A-1L-2 Loans, the Class A-2L Loans and/or the Class ▇-▇ Loans by the Issuer pursuant to the applicable Credit Agreement and this Indenture and (iii) in all instances where any notice is to be delivered to the Loan Agent, the Loan Agent shall promptly deliver or make available such notice to the Class A-1L-1 Lenders, the Class A-1L-2 Lenders, the Class A-2L Lenders or the Class ▇-▇ Lenders, as applicable.

The Secured Notes shall be issued in minimum denominations of U.S.$250,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1.00 in excess thereof. The Subordinated Notes shall be issued in minimum denominations of U.S.$2,330,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1.00 in excess thereof. Notes shall only be transferred or resold in compliance with the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.4. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by one of its respective Officers. The signature of such Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures as described in Section 14.1 hereof of individuals who were at the time of execution the Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding the fact that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of issuance of such Notes.

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

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

Notes issued upon transfer, exchange or replacement of other Notes shall be issued in authorized denominations reflecting the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced, but shall represent only the current outstanding principal amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced. If any Note is divided into more than one Note in accordance with this Article II, the original principal amount of such Note shall be proportionately divided among the Notes delivered in exchange therefor and shall be deemed to be the original aggregate principal amount of such subsequently issued Notes.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a Certificate of Authentication, substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by the Collateral Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of their authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.5. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Issuer shall cause the Notes to be Registered and shall cause to be kept a register (the "Register") at the office of the Collateral Trustee in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Collateral Trustee is hereby initially appointed registrar (the "Registrar") for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of such Notes with respect to the Register maintained in the United States as herein provided. Upon any resignation or removal of the Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, in the absence of such appointment, assume the duties of Registrar.

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

Subject to this Section 2.5, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2, the Issuer shall execute, and the Collateral Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal or face amount. At any time, the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the Initial Purchaser may request a list of Holders as reflected in the Register from the Registrar.

In addition, the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee and the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any certificate of ownership provided to the Collateral Trustee by a beneficial owner of a Note (including a Beneficial Ownership Certificate) and/or other forms of reasonable evidence of such ownership as to the names and addresses of such beneficial owner and the Classes, principal amounts and CUSIP numbers of Notes beneficially owned thereby. At any time, upon request of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the Initial Purchaser, the Collateral Trustee shall provide such requesting Person a copy of each Beneficial Ownership Certificate that the Collateral Trustee has received; provided, however, the Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to verify information with respect to such Beneficial Ownership Certificate and shall only be required to retain copies of such documents presented to it.

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

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

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s attorney duly authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program ("STAMP") or such other "signature guarantee program" as may be determined by the Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act.

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

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

(b)           No transfer of any ERISA Restricted Note (or any interest therein) will be effective if after giving effect to such transfer 25% or more of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of any class of the ERISA Restricted Notes would be held by Persons who have represented that they are Benefit Plan Investors. For purposes of these calculations and all other calculations required by this sub-section, (A) any Notes of the Issuer held by a Person (other than a Benefit Plan Investor) who is a Controlling Person, the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Manager, the E.U./U.K. Retention Provider, the U.S. Retention Provider, the Depositor or any of their respective affiliates (other than those interests held by a Benefit Plan Investor) shall be disregarded and not treated as Outstanding and (B) an "affiliate" of a Person shall include any Person, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Person, and "control" with respect to a Person other than an individual shall mean the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of such Person. The Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon the information set forth in the face of the transfer certificates received pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.5 and only Notes that a Bank Officer of the Collateral Trustee actually knows to be so held shall be so disregarded. In addition, no Global ERISA Restricted Notes (other than Global ERISA Restricted Notes (x) purchased from the Issuer as part of the initial offering on the Closing Date or (y) transferred to accounts managed by the Collateral Manager or its affiliates (other than any Benefit Plan Investor) following the Closing Date with the consent of the Issuer and the Collateral Manager) may be held by or transferred to a Benefit Plan Investor or Controlling Person and each beneficial owner of a Global ERISA Restricted Note acquiring its interest in the ERISA Restricted Notes in the initial offering on the Closing Date shall provide to the Issuer a written certification in the form of Exhibit B-5 attached hereto.

(c)           Each subsequent transferee of a Note, by acceptance of such Note or an interest in such Note, shall be deemed to have agreed to comply with Section 2.12.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Collateral Trustee shall not be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with, or for otherwise monitoring or determining compliance with, the registration provisions of or any exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction, ERISA, the Code, the 1940 Act, or the terms hereof; provided that if a certificate is specifically required by the terms of this Section 2.5 to be provided to the Collateral Trustee by a prospective transferor or transferee, the Collateral Trustee shall be under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether or not the certificate substantially conforms on its face to the applicable requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same and the Issuer if such certificate does not comply with such terms.

(e)           [Reserved].

(f)           Transfers of Global Secured Notes shall only be made in accordance with Section 2.2(b) and this Section 2.5(g).

(i)           Rule 144A Global Secured Note to Temporary Regulation S Global Secured Note or Regulation S Global Secured Note. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Secured Note deposited with DTC wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Global Secured Note for, during the Distribution Compliance Period, an interest in a corresponding Temporary Regulation S Global Secured Note, or after the Distribution Compliance Period, to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Secured Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Secured Note, such holder; provided that such holder or, in the case of a transfer, the transferee is a Qualified Purchaser (or a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (other than a trust), each shareholder, partner, member or other equity owner of which is a Qualified Purchaser) that is not a U.S. person and is acquiring such interest in an offshore transaction (as defined in Regulation S) may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer of, such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the corresponding Temporary Regulation S Global Secured Note or Regulation S Global Secured Note, as applicable. Upon receipt by the Registrar of (A) instructions given in accordance with DTC's procedures from an Agent Member directing the Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the corresponding Temporary Regulation S Global Secured Note or Regulation S Global Secured Note, as applicable, but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to such holder's Notes, in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Secured Note to be exchanged or transferred, (B) a written order given in accordance with DTC's procedures containing information regarding the participant account of DTC and the Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase, (C) a certificate in the form of Exhibit B-1 attached hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating that the exchange or transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Secured Notes, including that the holder or the transferee, as applicable, is a Qualified Purchaser (or a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (other than a trust), each shareholder, partner, member or other equity owner of which is a Qualified Purchaser) that is not a U.S. person, and is acquiring such interest in an offshore transaction pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, and (D) a written certification in the form of Exhibit B-7 attached hereto given by the transferee in respect of such beneficial interest stating, among other things, that such transferee is a Qualified Purchaser (or a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (other than a trust), each shareholder, partner, member or other equity owner of which is a Qualified Purchaser) that is a non-U.S. person purchasing such beneficial interest in an offshore transaction pursuant to Regulation S, then the Registrar shall approve the instructions at DTC to reduce the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Secured Note and to increase the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Secured Note or the Regulation S Global Secured Note, as applicable, by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Secured Note to be exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account of the Agent Member specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the corresponding Temporary Regulation S Global Secured Note or Regulation S Global Secured Note, as applicable, equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Secured Note.

(ii)          Temporary Regulation S Global Secured Note or Regulation S Global Secured Note to Rule 144A Global Secured Note. If a holder of a beneficial interest in, during the Distribution Compliance Period, a Temporary Regulation S Global Secured Note or, after the Distribution Compliance Period, a Regulation S Global Secured Note, as applicable, deposited with DTC wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Secured Note or Regulation S Global Secured Note, as applicable, for an interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Secured Note or to transfer its interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Secured Note or such Regulation S Global Secured Note, as applicable, to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Secured Note, such holder may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of Euroclear, Clearstream and/or DTC, as the case may be, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer of, such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Secured Note. Upon receipt by the Registrar of (A) instructions from Euroclear, Clearstream and/or DTC, as the case may be, directing the Registrar to cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Secured Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Secured Note or such Regulation S Global Secured Note, as applicable, but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to such holder's Notes to be exchanged or transferred, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with DTC to be credited with such increase, (B) a certificate in the form of Exhibit B-3 attached hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest and stating, among other things, that, in the case of a transfer, the Person transferring such interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Secured Note or such Regulation S Global Secured Note, as applicable, reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in a Rule 144A Global Secured Note is a Qualified Purchaser and a Qualified Institutional Buyer, is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction and (C) a written certification in the form of Exhibit B-6 attached hereto given by the transferee in respect of such beneficial interest stating, among other things, that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser, then the Registrar will approve the instructions at DTC to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Temporary Regulation S Global Secured Note or the Regulation S Global Secured Note, as applicable, by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Secured Note or the Regulation S Global Secured Note, as applicable, to be transferred or exchanged and the Registrar shall instruct DTC, concurrently with such reduction, to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account of the Agent Member specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Secured Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Temporary Regulation S Global Secured Note or the Regulation S Global Secured Note, as applicable.

(iii)         Global Secured Note to Certificated Secured Note.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.6, the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee or the applicable Transfer Agent may require the payment by the Holder thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Collateral Trustee) connected therewith.

Payment of interest on each Class of Secured Debt (and payments of available Interest Proceeds to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes) will be subordinated to the payment of interest on each related Priority Class as provided in Section 11.1. So long as any Priority Class is Outstanding with respect to the Class C Notes, any payment of interest due on the Class C Notes which is not available to be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date ("Deferred Interest") shall not be considered "due and payable" for the purposes of Section 5.1(a) (and the failure to pay such interest shall not be an Event of Default) until the earliest of (i) the Payment Date on which funds are available to pay such Deferred Interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments, (ii) the Redemption Date or the Re-Pricing Date, as applicable, with respect to the Class C Notes and (iii) the Stated Maturity of the Class C Notes. Deferred Interest on the Class C Notes shall be payable on the first Payment Date on which funds are available to be used for such purpose in accordance with the Priority of Payments, but in any event no later than the earlier of the Payment Date (i) which is the Redemption Date or Re-Pricing Date, as applicable, with respect to the Class C Notes and (ii) which is the Stated Maturity of the Class C Notes. Regardless of whether any Priority Class is Outstanding with respect to the Class C Notes to the extent that funds are not available on any Payment Date (other than the Redemption Date or the Re-Pricing Date with respect to, or Stated Maturity of, the Class C Notes) to pay previously accrued Deferred Interest, such previously accrued Deferred Interest will not be due and payable on such Payment Date and any failure to pay such previously accrued Deferred Interest on such Payment Date will not be an Event of Default. Interest will cease to accrue on each Secured Note, or in the case of a partial repayment, on such repaid part, from the date of repayment. To the extent lawful and enforceable, interest on any interest that is not paid when due on any Class A-1 Debt, or if no Class A-1 Debt is Outstanding, any Class A-2 Debt, or if no Class A-1 Debt or Class A-2 Debt is Outstanding, any Class B Debt, or if no Class A-1 Debt, Class A-2 Debt or Class B Debt is Outstanding, any Class C Notes, shall accrue at the Interest Rate for such Class until paid as provided herein.

106

(a)           The principal of the Secured Debt of each Class matures at par and is due and payable on the date of the Stated Maturity for such Class, unless such principal has been previously repaid or unless the unpaid principal of such Secured Debt becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of principal of each Class of Secured Debt (and payments of Principal Proceeds to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes) may only occur in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Payments of principal on any Class of Secured Debt, and distributions of Principal Proceeds to Holders of Subordinated Notes, which are not paid, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on any Payment Date (other than the Payment Date which is the Stated Maturity of such Class of Notes or any Redemption Date or Re-Pricing Date, as applicable), because of insufficient funds therefor shall not be considered "due and payable" for purposes of Section 5.1(a) until the Payment Date on which such principal may be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments or all Priority Classes with respect to such Class have been paid in full.

(b)           Principal payments on the Debt will be made in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Article IX.

(c)           The Paying Agent shall require the previous delivery of properly completed and signed applicable tax certifications (generally, in the case of U.S. federal income tax, an IRS Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a United States Tax Person or, in the case of the Secured Notes, the appropriate IRS Form W-8 (or applicable successor form) together with all appropriate attachments in the case of a Person that is not a United States Tax Person) or other certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee and any Paying Agent to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to pay, deduct or withhold from payments in respect of such Note or the Holder or beneficial owner of such Note under any present or future law or regulation of the United States, any other jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or regulation (including, without limitation, any cost basis reporting obligations) and the delivery of any information required to prevent the Issuer from being subject to withholding and to determine if payments by the Issuer are subject to withholding. The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Debt as a result of deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges with respect to the Debt (including any amounts deducted on account of FATCA). Nothing herein shall be construed to obligate the Paying Agent or the Collateral Trustee to determine the duties or liabilities of the Issuer or any other paying agent with respect to any tax certification or withholding requirements, or any tax certification or withholding requirements of any jurisdiction, political subdivision or taxing authority outside the United States.

107

(d)           Payments in respect of interest on and principal of Secured Debt and any payment with respect to any Subordinated Note shall be made by the Collateral Trustee or by a Paying Agent in Dollars (i) to DTC or its designee with respect to a Global Secured Note or Rule 144A Global Subordinated Note, to a Dollar account maintained by DTC or its nominee with respect to a Global Secured Note or a Rule 144A Global Subordinated Note, (ii) to the Holder or its nominee with respect to a Certificated Note, by wire transfer, as directed by the Holder, in immediately available funds, (iii) to the Loan Agent, for distribution to the applicable Class A-1L-1 Lenders, in the case of the Class A-1L-1 Loans, (iv) to the Loan Agent, for distribution to the applicable Class A-1L-2 Lenders, in the case of the Class A-1L-2 Loans, (v) to the Loan Agent, for distribution to the Class A-2L Lenders, in the case of the Class A-2L Loans and (vi) to the Loan Agent, for distribution to the Class ▇-▇ Lenders, in the case of the Class ▇-▇ Loans, in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by DTC or its nominee with respect to a Global Secured Note or a Subordinated Note, and to the Holder or its nominee with respect to a Certificated Note, and to the Loan Agent with respect to a Class A-1L-1 Loan, a Class A-1L-2 Loan, a Class A-2L Loan or a Class ▇-▇ Loan; provided that in the case of a Certificated Note, Class A-1L-1 Loan, Class A-1L-2 Loan, Class A-2L Loan or Class ▇-▇ Loan (1) the Holder thereof shall have provided written wiring instructions to the Collateral Trustee and (in the case of the Class A-1L-1 Loans, the Class A-1L-2 Loans, the Class A-2L Loans and the Class ▇-▇ ▇▇▇▇▇) the Loan Agent on or before the related Record Date and (2) if appropriate instructions for any such wire transfer are not received by the related Record Date, then such payment shall be made by check drawn on a U.S. bank mailed to the address of the Holder specified in the Register. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of (x) a Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Collateral Trustee or at the office of any Paying Agent and (y) the Class A-1L-1 Loans, the Class A-1L-2 Loans, the Class A-2L Loans and the Class ▇-▇ Loans, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender the lender note (if any) representing such Class A-1L-1 Loan, Class A-1L-2 Loan, Class A-2L Loan or Class ▇-▇ Loan, as applicable, to the Corporate Trust Office of the Loan Agent in accordance with the applicable Credit Agreement, in each case, on or prior to such Maturity; provided that if the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent and the Issuer shall have been furnished such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such certificate, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Collateral Trustee that the applicable Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. None of the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Manager nor any Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records (or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing such records) maintained by DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream or any of the Agent Members relating to or for payments made thereby on account of beneficial interests in a Global Secured Note or Rule 144A Global Subordinated Note. In the case where any final payment of principal and interest is to be made on any Secured Debt (other than on the Stated Maturity thereof) or any final payment is to be made on any Subordinated Note (other than on the Stated Maturity thereof), the Collateral Trustee or the Loan Agent (as applicable) in the name and at the expense of the Issuer shall prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, mail (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Persons entitled thereto at their addresses appearing on the Register a notice which shall specify the date on which such payment will be made, the amount of such payment per U.S.$1,000 original principal amount of Secured Notes, original principal amount of Subordinated Notes and the place where such Notes may be presented and surrendered for such payment.

108

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

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

(g)           All reductions in the principal amount of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes), Class A-1L-1 Loan, Class A-1L-2 Loan, Class A-2L Loan or Class ▇-▇ Loan effected by payments of installments of principal made on any Payment Date, Redemption Date or Re-Pricing Date, as applicable, shall be binding upon all future Holders of such Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note.

(h)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Credit Agreements, the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes, the Class A-1L-1 Loans, the Class A-1L-2 Loans, the Class A-2L Loans, the Class ▇-▇ Loans and the Transaction Documents are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer, payable solely from the Assets and following realization of the Assets, and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with this Indenture or the Credit Agreements, all obligations of and any claims against the Issuer hereunder or in connection herewith after such realization shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had against any officer, director, manager, trustee, beneficial owner, partner, member, employee, shareholder, authorized Person or incorporator of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the E.U./U.K. Retention Provider, the U.S. Retention Provider, the Depositor or their respective Affiliates, successors or assigns for any amounts payable under the Debt, this Indenture or the Credit Agreements. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (i) shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Assets for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Assets or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Debt, this Indenture or the Credit Agreements or secured by this Indenture until such Assets have been realized. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (i) shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any Proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Debt, this Indenture or any Credit Agreement, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity. The Subordinated Notes are not secured hereunder.

109

(i)           Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, each Note delivered under this Indenture and upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to unpaid interest and principal (or other applicable amount) that were carried by such other Note.

(j)           Currency Conversion Provisions. The Issuer hereby directs the Collateral Trustee, and pursuant to such direction the Collateral Trustee shall, exchange and transfer into the USD Interest Collection Subaccount any amounts received in the Euro Interest Collection Subaccount at the Applicable FX Rate into U.S. Dollars on the Business Day following receipt of such amounts. The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall direct the Collateral Trustee to exchange and transfer into the USD Principal Collection Subaccount any amounts received in the Euro Principal Collection Subaccount (other than amounts designated for reinvestment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture) at the Applicable FX Rate into U.S. Dollars. The Collateral Trustee shall exchange amounts received in the Euro Principal Collection Subaccount on the Business Day following receipt of direction from the Issuer (or Collateral Manager on its behalf).

Section 2.8. Persons Deemed Owners. The Issuer, the Collateral Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Collateral Trustee shall treat as the owner of the Debt the Person in whose name such Debt is registered on the Register on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest on such Debt and on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever (whether or not such Debt is overdue), and none of the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent or any agent of the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee or the Loan Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.9. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, cancellation pursuant to Section 9.7, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption, or deemed lost or stolen, shall be promptly canceled by the Collateral Trustee and may not be reissued or resold. No Note may be surrendered (including any surrender in connection with any abandonment, gift, donation or other cause or event) except for payment as provided herein, for cancellation pursuant to Section 9.7 or for registration of transfer, exchange or redemption in accordance with Article IX hereof (in the case of a Special Redemption or a mandatory redemption, only to the extent that such Special Redemption or mandatory redemption results in payment in full of the applicable Class of Notes), or for replacement in connection with any Note deemed lost or stolen. Any Notes surrendered for cancellation as permitted by this Section 2.9 shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Collateral Trustee, be delivered to the Collateral Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 2.9, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes held by the Collateral Trustee shall be destroyed or held by the Collateral Trustee in accordance with its standard retention policy unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order received prior to destruction that they be returned to it.

110

Section 2.10. DTC Ceases to be Depository. A Global Secured Note or Rule 144A Global Subordinated Note deposited with DTC pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be transferred in the form of a corresponding Certificated Note to the beneficial owners thereof only if (A) such transfer complies with Section 2.5 of this Indenture and (B) either (x) (i) DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such Global Secured Note or Rule 144A Global Subordinated Note or (ii) DTC ceases to be a Clearing Agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after such event or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such transfer is requested by any beneficial owner of an interest in such Global Secured Note or Rule 144A Global Subordinated Note.

(a)           Any Global Secured Note or Rule 144A Global Subordinated Note that is transferable in the form of a corresponding Certificated Note to the beneficial owner thereof pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be surrendered by DTC to the Corporate Trust Office to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Issuer shall execute and the Collateral Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Secured Note or Rule 144A Global Subordinated Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive physical certificates (pursuant to the instructions of DTC) in authorized denominations. Any Certificated Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Secured Note or Rule 144A Global Subordinated Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.5, bear the legends set forth in the applicable Exhibit A and shall be subject to the transfer restrictions referred to in such legends.

(b)           Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 2.10, the Holder of a Global Secured Note or Rule 144A Global Subordinated Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which such Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

(c)           In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (B) of sub-section (a) of this Section 2.10, the Issuer will promptly make available to the Collateral Trustee a reasonable supply of Certificated Notes.

111

If Certificated Notes are not so issued by the Issuer to such beneficial owners of interests in Global Secured Notes or Rule 144A Global Subordinated Notes as required by sub-section (a) of this Section 2.10, the Issuer expressly acknowledges that the beneficial owners shall be entitled to pursue any remedy that the Holders of a Global Secured Note or Rule 144A Global Subordinated Note would be entitled to pursue in accordance with Article V of this Indenture (but only to the extent of such beneficial owner's interest in the Global Secured Note or Rule 144A Global Subordinated Note) as if corresponding Certificated Notes had been issued; provided that the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate of ownership provided by such beneficial owners (including a certificate in the form of Exhibit C) and/or other forms of reasonable evidence of such ownership.

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

Section 2.11.         Non-Permitted Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere herein, (x) any transfer of a beneficial interest in any Secured Note to a U.S. person that is not a QIB/QP (other than a U.S. person that is an Institutional Accredited Investor and is also a Qualified Purchaser (or a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (other than a trust), each shareholder, partner, member or other equity owner of which is a Qualified Purchaser)) and (y) any transfer of a beneficial interest in any Subordinated Note to a U.S. person that is not (A) a Qualified Institutional Buyer or an Accredited Investor and (B) a Qualified Purchaser, a Knowledgeable Employee with respect to the Issuer, Collateral Manager or a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (other than a trust), each shareholder, partner, member or other equity owner of which is either a Qualified Purchaser or a Knowledgeable Employee with respect to the Issuer or Collateral Manager shall be null and void and any such purported transfer of which the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee or the Loan Agent shall have notice may be disregarded by the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent for all purposes.

(a)            If (w) any U.S. person that is not a QIB/QP (other than a U.S. person that is an Institutional Accredited Investor and is also a Qualified Purchaser (or a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (other than a trust), each shareholder, partner, member or other equity owner of which is a Qualified Purchaser)) shall become the Holder or beneficial owner of an interest in any Secured Note or (x) any U.S. person that is not both (i) a Qualified Institutional Buyer or an Accredited Investor and also (ii) a Qualified Purchaser, a Knowledgeable Employee with respect to the Issuer or the Collateral Manager or a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (other than a trust), each shareholder, partner, member or other equity owner of which is either a Qualified Purchaser or a Knowledgeable Employee with respect to the Issuer or the Collateral Manager shall become the Holder or beneficial owner of an interest in a Subordinated Note or (y) any non-U.S. person that is not a Qualified Purchaser (or a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (other than a trust), each shareholder, partner, member or other equity owner of which is a Qualified Purchaser) shall become the holder or beneficial owner of an interest in any Note (any such Person a "Non-Permitted Holder"), the acquisition of such Note by such holder shall be null and void ab initio. The Issuer shall, promptly after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted Holder by the Issuer or the Collateral Trustee or upon notice to the Issuer from the Collateral Trustee (if a Bank Officer of the Collateral Trustee obtains actual knowledge), send notice to such Non-Permitted Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted Holder transfer its interest in such Notes to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted Holder within 30 days after the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted Holder fails to so transfer such Notes, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager acting for the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such Notes or interest in such Notes to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer, or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer, may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Notes and sell such Notes to the highest such bidder; provided that the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates and accounts, funds, clients or portfolios established and controlled by the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to bid in any such sale. However, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of each Note, the Non-Permitted Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Notes, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Collateral 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 sub-section shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and none of the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee or the Collateral Manager shall be liable to any Person having an interest in the Notes sold as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

112

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere herein, any transfer of a beneficial interest in any ERISA Restricted Note to a Person who has made an ERISA-related representation required by Section 2.5(c) that is subsequently shown to be false or misleading shall be null and void and any such purported transfer of which the Issuer or the Collateral Trustee shall have notice may be disregarded by the Issuer and the Collateral Trustee for all purposes.

(c)            If any Person shall become the beneficial owner of an interest in any Note who has made or is deemed to have made a prohibited transaction, Benefit Plan Investor, Controlling Person, Similar Law or Other Plan Law representation required by Section 2.5 that is subsequently shown to be false or misleading or whose beneficial ownership otherwise causes Benefit Plan Investors to hold 25% or more of the value of any class of the ERISA Restricted Notes (any such Person a "Non-Permitted ERISA Holder"), the Issuer shall, promptly after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder by the Issuer or upon notice to the Issuer from the Collateral Trustee (if a Bank Officer of the Collateral Trustee obtains actual knowledge), send notice to such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder transfer its interest in such Note to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder within 10 days after the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder fails to so transfer its interest in such Notes, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder, to sell such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder's interest in such Notes to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Notes and selling such Notes to the highest such bidder. However, the Issuer may select a purchaser by any other means determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion. The Holder of each Note, the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Notes, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Collateral 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 ERISA Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this sub-section shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and none of the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent or the Collateral Manager shall be liable to any Person having an interest in the Notes sold as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

Section 2.12.         Treatment and Tax Certification. Each Holder (including, for purposes of this Section 2.12, any beneficial owner of an interest in a Note) of a Secured Note will be deemed to have agreed to treat the Secured Notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, except as otherwise required by law.

(c)            Each Holder of a Subordinated Note will be deemed to have represented and warranted that it is a United States Tax Person acting for its own account, and will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Issuer and the Collateral Trustee (and any of their agents) with a correct, complete and properly executed IRS Form W-9 (or applicable successor form), and will acknowledge that if it fails to provide the Issuer and the Collateral Trustee (and any of their agents) with the properly completed and signed tax certifications specified above, the acquisition of its interest in such Note shall be void ab initio.

(d)            Each Holder of a Note will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Issuer and any relevant intermediary with any information or documentation that is required under FATCA or that the Issuer or relevant intermediary deems appropriate to enable the Issuer or relevant intermediary to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes they may be required to withhold pursuant to FATCA in respect of such Note or the holder of such Note or beneficial interest therein. In addition, each Holder of a Note will be deemed to understand and acknowledge that the Issuer has the right under this Indenture to withhold on any Holder of a Note that fails to comply with ▇▇▇▇▇.

114

(e)            Each Holder of a Secured Note that is not a United States Tax Person will be deemed to have represented that either (i) it is not (A) a bank (or an entity affiliated with a bank) extending credit pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code), (B) a "10 percent shareholder" with respect to the Issuer within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) or Section 881(c)(3)(D) of the Code, or (C) a "controlled foreign corporation" that is related to the Issuer within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code; (ii) it has provided an IRS Form W-8BEN-E representing that it is eligible for benefits under an income tax treaty with the United States that eliminates U.S. federal income taxation of U.S. source interest not attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States, or (iii) it has provided an IRS Form W-8ECI representing that all payments received or to be received by it on the Secured Notes are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

(f)            Each Holder of a Subordinated Note will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that (i) a Subordinated Note (or any interest therein) may not be acquired or owned by any Person that is classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership, Subchapter S corporation or grantor trust unless (A) (x) except in the case of the U.S. Retention Provider, none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any interest in such Person have or ever will have more than 40% of the value of its interest in such Person attributable to the aggregate interest of such Person in the combined value of the Subordinated Notes (and any other interest treated as equity in the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes), and (y) it is not and will not be a principal purpose of the arrangement involving the investment of such Person in any Subordinated Notes and any other equity interests of the Issuer to permit the Issuer to satisfy the 100 partner limitation of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) or (B) such Person obtains written advice of Dechert LLP or Cadwalader, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇ LLP, or an opinion of nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel reasonably acceptable to the Issuer that such transfer will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation; (ii) it will not participate in the creation or other transfer of any financial instrument or contract the value of which is determined in whole or in part by reference to the Issuer (including the amount of distributions by the Issuer, the value of the Issuer's assets, or the results of the Issuer's operations) or the Subordinated Notes; (iii) it will not acquire, sell, transfer, assign, participate, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Subordinated Note (or any interest therein) or cause the Subordinated Note (or any interest therein) to be marketed (A) on or through an "established securities market" within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(b), including without limitation, an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations or (B) if such acquisition, sale, transfer, assignment, participation, pledge or other disposition would cause the combined number of holders of the Subordinated Notes and any other equity interests in the Issuer to be more than 90 and (iv) any sale, transfer, assignment, participation, pledge, or other disposition of the Subordinated Note (or any interest therein) that would violate any of the preceding clauses (i) through (iii) or otherwise cause the Issuer to be unable to rely on the "private placement" safe harbor of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h) will be void ab initio and of no force or effect, and it will not transfer any interest in the Subordinated Note to any Person that does not agree to be bound by clauses (i) through (iii) above or this clause (iv).

(g)           Each Holder of a Secured Note that is not a United States Tax Person will be deemed to have represented and agreed that it is not and will not become a member of an "expanded group" (within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 385 of the Code) that includes a domestic corporation (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) if either (i) the Issuer is an entity disregarded as separate from such domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) the Issuer is a "controlled partnership" (within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 385 of the Code) with respect to such expanded group or an entity disregarded as separate from such controlled partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(h)           Each Holder of a Subordinated Note will be deemed to have agreed to take any and all actions, and to furnish any and all information, requested by the Partnership Representative to permit the Issuer to minimize any tax liability that would otherwise be imposed on the Issuer under Section 6225 of the Code, or any successor provision, including (if requested by the Partnership Representative) by (i) filing amended tax returns to take into account any adjustment to the amount of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit of the Partner, or of any Person's distributive share thereof, and (ii) providing the Issuer with any information necessary for the Issuer to (x) establish the amount of any tax liability resulting from any such adjustment and (y) elect (in accordance with Section 6226 of the Code, or any successor provision) for each Partner to take any such adjustment into account directly.

(vii)          to the extent such issuance or incurrence would be of additional Secured Debt (other than in connection with a Risk Retention Issuance), the prior written consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class has been obtained;

(viii)         the Overcollateralization Ratio with respect to each Class of Debt shall not be reduced after giving effect to such issuance or incurrence;

(ix)            written advice from Dechert LLP or Cadwalader, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇ LLP or an opinion of tax counsel of nationally recognized standing in the United States experienced in such matters will be delivered to the Issuer (with a copy to the Collateral Trustee), in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Manager, to the effect that (A) such additional issuance or incurrence will not result in the Issuer being treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis (including any tax liability under Section 1446 of the Code), and (B) any additional Secured Debt will be characterized as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that the advice or opinion described in this clause (B) will not be required with respect to any additional Secured Debt that bears a different CUSIP number (or equivalent identifier) from the Secured Debt of the same Class that is outstanding at the time of the additional issuance; provided further that if an opinion to the effect that any additional Secured Debt will be characterized as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not delivered, such additional Secured Notes will be subject to tax-related transfer restrictions substantially similar to those applicable to the Subordinated Notes;

(x)             such issuance or incurrence is accomplished in a manner that allows the independent accountants of the Issuer to accurately provide the tax information relating to original issue discount that this Indenture requires to be provided to the Holders of Secured Debt (including the Additional Debt); and

118

(xi)            an Officer's certificate of the Issuer shall be delivered to the Collateral Trustee (and, in the case of the additional incurrence of Class A-1L-1 Loans, Class A-1L-2 Loans, Class A-2L Loans or Class ▇-▇ Loans, the Loan Agent) stating that the conditions of this Section 2.13(a) have been satisfied.

(b)           The terms and conditions of the Additional Debt of each Class issued or incurred pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be identical to those of the initial Debt of that Class (except that the interest due on the Additional Debt that is Secured Debt shall accrue from the issue date of such Additional Debt and the interest rate and price of such Additional Debt may be lower (but not higher) than those of the initial Debt of that Class). Interest on the Additional Debt that is Secured Debt shall be payable commencing on the first Payment Date following the issue date of such Additional Debt (if issued or incurred prior to the applicable Record Date). The Additional Debt shall rank pari passu in all respects with the initial Debt of that Class.

(c)           Except with respect to a Risk Retention Issuance, any Additional Debt of each Class issued pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, be offered first to Holders of that Class in such amounts as are necessary to preserve their pro rata holdings of Debt of such Class.

(d)           In addition, Additional Debt may be issued or incurred in connection with any Refinancing of the Secured Debt in whole without regard to the restrictions in this Section 2.13.

(e)           For the avoidance of doubt, at any time the Holders of the Subordinated Notes may make additional capital contributions to the Issuer.

129

(e)           the entry of a decree or order by a court having competent jurisdiction adjudging the Issuer as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of the Issuer under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, or sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Issuer or of any substantial part of its property, respectively, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, respectively, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days;

Upon a Responsible Officer's (or a Bank Officer's, in the case of the Collateral Trustee) obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default, each of (i) the Issuer, (ii) the Collateral Trustee and (iii) the Collateral Manager shall notify each other. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default known to a Bank Officer of the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Trustee shall promptly (and in no event later than three Business Days thereafter) notify the Holders (as their names appear on the Register), each Paying Agent and the Rating Agency (unless such Event of Default has been waived as provided in Section 5.14).

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

130

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

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

(A)            all unpaid installments of interest and principal then due on the Secured Debt (other than any principal amounts due to the occurrence of an acceleration);

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

(C)            all unpaid taxes and Administrative Expenses of the Issuer and other sums paid or advanced by the Collateral Trustee hereunder, by the Loan Agent under any Credit Agreement or by the Collateral Administrator under the Collateral Administration Agreement or hereunder, accrued and unpaid Aggregate Collateral Management Fees then due and owing and any other amounts then payable by the Issuer hereunder prior to such Administrative Expenses and such Aggregate Collateral Management Fees.

(ii)            It has been determined that all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the interest on or principal of the Secured Debt that has become due solely by such acceleration, have:

(A)            been cured; and

 (I)            in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(a) due to failure to pay interest on the Class A-1 Debt or the Class B Notes or in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(g), the Holders of at least a Majority of the Class A-1 Debt, by written notice to the Collateral Trustee, has agreed with such determination (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that no Class of Secured Debt (other than the Class A-1 Debt) shall have any rights pursuant to this subclause (I), regardless of whether any such Class subsequently becomes the Controlling Class; or

131

 (II)            in the case of any other Event of Default, the Holders of at least a Majority of each Class of Secured Debt (voting separately by Class), in each case, by written notice to the Collateral Trustee, has agreed with such determination (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld); or

 (B)            been waived as provided in Section 5.14.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon. The Collateral Trustee shall promptly give written notice of any such rescission to the Rating Agency.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.2 to the contrary, the Secured Notes will not be subject to acceleration by the Collateral Trustee solely as a result of the failure to pay any amount due on the Secured Notes that are not of the Controlling Class other than any failure to pay interest due on the Class A-2 Debt or the Class B Debt.

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

If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Collateral Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may, and shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Section 6.3(e)) upon written direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Secured Debt and collect the Monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Assets.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Collateral Trustee may in its discretion, and shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Section 6.3(e)) upon written direction of the Supermajority of the Controlling Class, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Secured Parties by such appropriate Proceedings as the Collateral Trustee shall deem most effectual (if no such direction is received by the Collateral Trustee) or as the Collateral Trustee may be directed by the Majority of the Controlling Class, to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement herein 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 Collateral Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

132

In case there shall be pending Proceedings relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Secured Debt 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 its property or such other obligor or its property, or in case of any other comparable Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Secured Debt, or the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Collateral Trustee, regardless of whether the principal of any Secured Debt shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and regardless of whether the Collateral Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.3, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

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

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

(c)           to collect and receive any Monies or other property payable to or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Holders of Debt and of the Collateral Trustee on their behalf; and any trustee, receiver or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders of Secured Debt to make payments to the Collateral Trustee, and, if the Collateral Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Holders of Secured Debt to pay to the Collateral Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Collateral Trustee, each predecessor Collateral Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Collateral Trustee and each predecessor Collateral Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Collateral Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Secured Holders, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Debt or any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Collateral Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Holders, as applicable, in any such Proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

133

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

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, the Collateral Trustee may not sell or liquidate the Assets or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.3 except according to the provisions specified in Section 5.5(a).

Section 5.4.           Remedies. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Secured Debt has been declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Issuer agrees that the Collateral Trustee may, and shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Section 6.3(e)), upon written direction of a Supermajority of the Controlling Class, to the extent permitted by applicable law, exercise one or more of the following rights, privileges and remedies:

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

(ii)            sell or cause the sale of all or a portion of the Assets or rights or interests therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law and in accordance with Section 5.17 hereof; provided that the Collateral Trustee shall promptly give written notice of any such sale of Assets to the Rating Agency;

(iii)            institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture and/or the Credit Agreements 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 Collateral Trustee and the Holders of the Secured Debt hereunder (including exercising all rights of the Collateral Trustee under the Securities Account Control Agreement); and

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

provided that the Collateral Trustee may not sell or liquidate the Assets or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.4 except according to the provisions of Section 5.5(a).

The Collateral Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation (the cost of which shall be payable as an Administrative Expense) in structuring and distributing securities similar to the Secured Debt, which may be the Initial Purchaser, 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 Secured Debt which opinion shall be conclusive evidence as to such feasibility or sufficiency.

134

(b)           If an Event of Default as described in Section 5.1(d) hereof shall have occurred and be continuing the Collateral Trustee may, and at the direction of the Holders of not less than 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Section 6.3(e)), 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 Section 5.1(d), and enforce any equitable decree or order arising from such Proceeding.

(c)           Upon any sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial Proceedings, any Secured Party may bid for and purchase the Assets or any part thereof and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain, possess or dispose of such property in its or their own absolute right without accountability.

Upon any sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial Proceedings, the receipt of the Collateral 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 Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent and the Holders of the Debt, shall operate to divest all right, title and interest whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of each of them in and to the property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each of them and their successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming through or under them.

(d)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, none of the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Secured Parties or the Holders may, prior to the date which is one year and one day (or if longer, any applicable preference period and one day) after the payment in full of all Debt, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation Proceedings, or other Proceedings under U.S. federal or state bankruptcy or similar laws. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Collateral Trustee or the Loan Agent (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned period in (A) any case or Proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or (B) any involuntary insolvency Proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Collateral Trustee or the Loan Agent or (ii) from commencing against the Issuer or any of its properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation Proceeding.

135

Section 5.5.           Optional Preservation of Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the right of the Collateral Manager to direct the Collateral Trustee to sell Collateral Obligations or Equity Securities in strict compliance with Section 12.1), if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Trustee shall retain the Assets securing the Secured Debt intact, 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 Debt in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the provisions of Article X, Article XII and Article XIII unless:

(i)             the Collateral Trustee, pursuant to Section 5.5(c), determines that the anticipated proceeds of a sale or liquidation of the Assets (after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation) would be sufficient to discharge in full the amounts then due (or, in the case of interest, accrued) and unpaid on the Secured Debt for principal and interest (including accrued and unpaid Deferred Interest), and all other amounts payable prior to payment of principal on such Secured Debt (including amounts due and owing as Administrative Expenses (without regard to the Administrative Expense Cap) and due and unpaid Aggregate Collateral Management Fees) and a Supermajority of the Controlling Class agrees with such determination;

(ii)            in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(a) due to failure to pay interest on the Class A-1 Debt, the Holders of at least a Supermajority of the Class A-1 Debt (so long as the Class A-1 Debt is Outstanding) direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets (without regard to whether another Event of Default has occurred prior, contemporaneously or subsequent to such Event of Default); provided that no Class of Secured Debt (other than the Class A-1 Debt) shall have any rights to direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets pursuant to this clause (ii), regardless of whether any such Class subsequently becomes the Controlling Class;

(iii)            in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e), (f) or (g) of the definition of such term, the Holders of at least a Supermajority of the Class A-1 Debt direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets (without regard to whether another Event of Default has occurred prior, contemporaneously or subsequent to such Event of Default); provided that no Class of Secured Debt (other than the Class A-1 Debt) will have any rights to direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture as described in this clause (iii), regardless of whether any such Class becomes the Controlling Class; or

(iv)            in the case of each other Event of Default, the Holders of at least a Supermajority of each Class of Secured Debt (in each case, voting separately by Class) direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets.

So long as such Event of Default is continuing, any such retention pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) may be rescinded at any time when the conditions specified in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) exist. In the event that a liquidation of the Assets is effected pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, the Collateral Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Rating Agency.

(b)           Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Collateral Trustee to sell the Assets securing the Secured Debt if the conditions set forth in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 5.5(a) are not satisfied. Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Collateral Trustee to preserve the Assets securing the Debt if prohibited by applicable law.

(c)            In determining whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Collateral Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to obtain, with the cooperation of the Collateral Manager, bid prices with respect to each Asset from two nationally recognized dealers (as specified by the Collateral Manager in writing) at the time making a market in such Assets and shall compute the anticipated proceeds of sale or liquidation on the basis of the lower of such bid prices for each such Asset. In the event that the Collateral Trustee, with the cooperation of the Collateral Manager, is only able to obtain bid prices with respect to each Asset from one nationally recognized dealer at the time making a market in such Assets, the Collateral Trustee shall compute the anticipated proceeds of the sale or liquidation on the basis of such one bid price for each such Asset. In addition, for the purposes of determining issues relating to the execution of a sale or liquidation of the Assets and the execution of a sale or other liquidation thereof in connection with a determination whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Collateral Trustee may retain and conclusively rely on an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation (the cost of which shall be payable as an Administrative Expense).

(d)          The Collateral Trustee shall deliver to the Holders, the Loan Agent and the Collateral Manager a report stating the results of any determination required pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i) no later than 10 days after such determination is made. The Collateral Trustee shall make the determinations required by Section 5.5(a)(i) within 30 days after an Event of Default and at the request of a Supermajority of the Controlling Class at any time during which the Collateral Trustee retains the Assets pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i).

(e)           Prior to the sale of any Assets in connection with Section 5.5(a), the Collateral Trustee shall offer the Collateral Manager or an Affiliate thereof the right to purchase the Asset being sold by the Collateral Trustee at a price equal to the highest bid price received by the Collateral Trustee in accordance with Section 5.5(c) (or if only one bid price is received, such bid price). The Collateral Manager or an Affiliate thereof shall have the right to bid on any Assets sold in any sale pursuant to this Section 5.5.

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

Section 5.7.           Application of Money Collected. Any Money collected by the Collateral Trustee (after payment of costs of collection, liquidation and enforcement) with respect to the Debt pursuant to this Article V and any Money that may then be held or thereafter received by the Collateral Trustee with respect to the Debt hereunder shall be applied, subject to Section 13.1 and in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1(a)(iii), at the date or dates fixed by the Collateral Trustee. Upon the final distribution of all proceeds of any liquidation effected hereunder, the provisions of Section 4.1(a) and (b) shall be deemed satisfied for the purposes of discharging this Indenture pursuant to Article IV. Furthermore, upon such liquidation and final distribution, the Subordinated Notes shall be deemed to be redeemed and paid in full, even if amounts paid pursuant to Section 11.1(a) are insufficient to pay the Subordinated Notes in full as set forth in Section 4.4(b).

137

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

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

(b)           the Holders of not less than 25% of the then Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Debt of the Controlling Class shall have made written request to the Collateral Trustee to institute Proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Collateral Trustee hereunder and such Holder or Holders have provided the Collateral Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

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

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

In the event the Collateral Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity pursuant to this Section 5.8 from two or more groups of Holders of the Controlling Class, each representing less than a Majority of the Controlling Class, the Collateral Trustee shall act in accordance with the request specified by the group of Holders with the greatest percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Credit Agreements. If all such groups represent the same percentage, the Collateral Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine what action, if any, shall be taken.

138

Section 5.9.           Unconditional Rights of Secured Holders to Receive Principal and Interest. Subject to Section 2.7(i), but notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Credit Agreements, the Holder of any Secured Debt shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Secured Debt, as such principal, interest and other amounts become due and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Section 13.1, as the case may be, and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.8, to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. Holders of Secured Debt ranking junior to Classes of Debt still Outstanding shall have no right to institute Proceedings or, except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 5.8(b), to request the Collateral Trustee to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment until such time as no Secured Debt ranking senior to such Secured Debt remains Outstanding, which right shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.8, and shall not be impaired without the consent of any such Holder.

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

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

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

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

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

139

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

(d)           notwithstanding the foregoing, any direction to the Collateral Trustee to undertake a Sale of the Assets shall be by the Holders of Debt representing the requisite percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of Debt specified in Section 5.4 and/or Section 5.5.

Section 5.14.         Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the time a judgment or decree for payment of the Money due has been obtained by the Collateral Trustee, as provided in this Article V, a Majority of the Controlling Class may on behalf of the Holders of all the Debt waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a Default:

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

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

(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 any such Outstanding Debt materially and adversely affected thereby (which may be waived only with the consent of each such Holder); or

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

In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Collateral 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 Collateral Trustee shall promptly give written notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agency, the Collateral Manager and each Holder. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture.

Section 5.15.         Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Debt by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Collateral Trustee for any action taken, or omitted by it as Collateral 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 Collateral Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Debt on or after the applicable Stated Maturity (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date).

140

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

Section 5.17.         Sale of Assets. The power to effect any sale (a "Sale") of any portion of the Assets pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5 shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of such Assets remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired (subject to Section 5.5(e) in the case of sales pursuant to Section 5.5) until the entire Assets shall have been sold or all amounts secured by the Assets shall have been paid. The Collateral Trustee may upon notice to the Holders, and shall, upon written direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, from time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale. The Collateral Trustee hereby expressly waives its rights to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale; provided that the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent shall be authorized to deduct the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by it in connection with such Sale from the proceeds thereof notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7 or other applicable terms hereof.

(a)           The Collateral Trustee may bid for and acquire any portion of the Assets in connection with a public Sale thereof, and may pay all or part of the purchase price by crediting against amounts owing on the Secured Debt in the case of the Assets or other amounts secured by the Assets, all or part of the net proceeds of such Sale after deducting the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent in connection with such Sale notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7 hereof or other applicable terms hereof. The Secured Debt need not be produced in order to complete any such Sale, or in order for the net proceeds of such Sale to be credited against amounts owing on the Debt. The Collateral 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.

(b)           If any portion of the Assets consists of securities issued without registration under the Securities Act ("Unregistered Securities"), the Collateral 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.

141

(c)            The Collateral Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Assets in connection with a Sale thereof, without recourse, representation or warranty. In addition, the Collateral 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 Collateral Trustee's authority, to inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any Monies.

Section 5.18.           Action on the Debt. The Collateral Trustee's right to seek and recover judgment on the Debt or under this Indenture or the Credit Agreements shall not be affected by the seeking or obtaining of or application for any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture or the Credit Agreements. Neither the lien of this Indenture or any Credit Agreement nor any rights or remedies of the Collateral Trustee or the Holders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Collateral Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Assets or upon any of the assets of the Issuer.

ARTICLE VI.

The Collateral Trustee

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

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

(ii)           in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Collateral 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 Collateral Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided that in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly, but in any event within three Business Days in the case of an Officer's certificate furnished by the Collateral Manager, notify the party delivering the same if such certificate or opinion does not conform. If a corrected form shall not have been delivered to the Collateral Trustee within 15 days after such notice from the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Trustee shall so notify the Holders and the Loan Agent.

142

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

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

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

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

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

(v)          in no event shall the Collateral Trustee be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage (including lost profits) even if the Collateral Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of such action.

(d)            For all purposes under this Indenture, the Collateral Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default described in Sections 5.1(c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) unless a Bank Officer assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such an Event of Default or Default is received by the Collateral Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Debt generally, the Issuer, the Assets or this Indenture. For purposes of determining the Collateral Trustee's responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is made herein to such an Event of Default or a Default, such reference shall be construed to refer only to such an Event of Default or Default of which the Collateral Trustee is deemed to have notice as described in this Section 6.1.

143

(e)            Upon the Collateral Trustee receiving written notice from the Collateral Manager that an event constituting "cause" as defined in the Collateral Management Agreement has occurred, the Collateral Trustee shall, not later than three Business Days thereafter, forward such notice to the Holders (as their names appear in the Register).

(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 Collateral Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1.

(g)            The Collateral Trustee is hereby directed to accept and acknowledge the Risk Retention Letter. The Collateral Trustee shall have no responsibility to monitor any obligation under the Risk Retention Letter.

Section 6.2.             Notice of Event of Default by Collateral Trustee. Promptly (and in no event later than three Business Days) after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to a Bank Officer of the Collateral Trustee or after any declaration of acceleration has been made or delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 5.2, the Collateral Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Collateral Manager, the Rating Agency, and all Holders, as their names and addresses appear on the Register, notice of all Event of Defaults hereunder known to the Collateral Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived.

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

(f)             the Collateral 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, judgment, note, electronic communication or other paper or document, but the Collateral Trustee, in its discretion, may, and upon the written direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class or of the Rating Agency shall (subject to the right hereunder to be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction for associated expense and liability), make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit or as it shall be directed, and the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled, on reasonable prior notice to the Issuer and the Collateral Manager, to examine the books and records relating to the Debt and the Assets, personally or by agent or attorney, during the Issuer's or the Collateral Manager's normal business hours; provided that the Collateral 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 or by any regulatory, administrative or governmental authority and (ii) to the extent that the Collateral Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder; provided further that the Collateral Trustee may disclose on a confidential basis any such information to its agents, attorneys and auditors in connection with the performance of its responsibilities hereunder;

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

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

146

(u)            none of the Collateral Administrator, the Calculation Agent or the Collateral Trustee shall have any liability or responsibility for (i) the monitoring or determination of the unavailability or the cessation of the Benchmark, (ii) the determination (other than, in the case of the Calculation Agent, the calculation of such rate once such applicable rate has been selected and adopted pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture), selection or verification of an Alternative Rate, a Fallback Rate, or an alternative base rate (including, without limitation, whether any such rate is an Alternative Rate or a Fallback Rate or whether a Benchmark Replacement Date or a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred, or any other conditions to the designation of such rate have been satisfied), (iii) the determination or selection of any Base Rate Modifier or any other modifier thereto, or (iv) the determination or selection of any methodology or conventions for the calculation of an Alternative Rate (which, for example, may include operational, administrative or technical parameters for compounding such Alternative Rate). None of the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Trustee or the Calculation Agent shall have any liability for any failure or delay in performing its duties under this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents as a result of the unavailability of a "Term SOFR" rate as described in the definition thereof, or as a result of the Collateral Manager's failure or delay in selecting or designating a non-Term SOFR reference rate or timely proposing an Alternative Rate, Fallback Rate or other alternative base rate;

(v)            the Collateral Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Collateral Trustee's economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or subcustodian with respect to certain of the Eligible Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Eligible Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Eligible Investments.

148

(x)            Unless the Collateral Trustee receives written notice of an error or omission related to financial information or disbursement provided to holders within 90 days of holders' receipt of the same, the Collateral Trustee shall have no liability in connection with such and, absent direction by the requisite percentage of holders entitled to direct the Collateral Trustee, no further obligations in connection thereof.

(z)             the Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the E.U./U.K. Retained Interest or verify or monitor whether an E.U./U.K. Retention Deficiency has occurred or whether the E.U.

Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Collateral Trustee upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Collateral Trustee to comply with Applicable Law.

Section 6.4.             Collateral Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance and Incurrence of Debt. 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 Collateral Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Collateral 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 Collateral Trustee's obligations hereunder), any Credit Agreement, the Assets or the Debt. The Collateral Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of the Debt or the proceeds thereof or any Money paid to the Issuer pursuant to the provisions hereof.

Section 6.5.             Collateral Trustee May Hold Debt. The Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, any Paying Agent, Registrar or any other agent of the Issuer, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any of their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Collateral Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar or such other agent.

149

Section 6.6.             Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Collateral Trustee hereunder shall be held in trust to the extent required herein. The Collateral Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any Money received by it hereunder except to the extent of income or other gain on investments which are deposits in or certificates of deposit of the Bank in its commercial capacity and income or other gain actually received by the Collateral Trustee on Eligible Investments.

Section 6.7.             Compensation and Reimbursement of the Collateral Trustee. The Issuer agrees:

(i)            to pay the Collateral Trustee on each Payment Date reasonable compensation, as set forth in a separate fee schedule, 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 Collateral Trustee in a timely manner upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture or other Transaction Document (including, without limitation, securities transaction charges and the reasonable compensation and expenses and disbursements of its agents and legal counsel and of any accounting firm or investment banking firm employed by the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 5.4, 5.5, 6.3(c)  or 10.7, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) but with respect to securities transaction charges, only to the extent any such charges have not been waived during a Collection Period due to the Collateral Trustee's receipt of a payment from a financial institution with respect to certain Eligible Investments, as specified by the Collateral Manager;

(iii)          to indemnify the Collateral Trustee and its Officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) 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 or the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs) against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder and under any other agreement or instrument related hereto; and

(iv)          to pay the Collateral Trustee reasonable additional compensation together with its expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) for any collection or enforcement action taken pursuant to Section 6.13 or Article V, respectively.

(b)            The Collateral Trustee shall receive amounts pursuant to this Section 6.7 and any other amounts payable to it under this Indenture or in any of the Transaction Documents to which the Collateral Trustee is a party only as provided in Sections 11.1(a)(i), (ii)  and (iii)  but only to the extent that funds are available for the payment thereof. Subject to Section 6.9, the Collateral Trustee shall continue to serve as Collateral Trustee under this Indenture notwithstanding the fact that the Collateral Trustee shall not have received amounts due it hereunder; provided that nothing herein shall impair or affect the Collateral Trustee's rights under Section 6.9. No direction by the Holders shall affect the right of the Collateral Trustee to collect amounts owed to it under this Indenture. If, on any date when a fee or an expense shall be payable to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, insufficient funds are available for the payment thereof, any portion of a fee or an expense not so paid shall be deferred and payable on such later date on which a fee or an expense shall be payable and sufficient funds are available therefor. The Issuer's obligations under this Section 6.7 shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 6.9.

150

(c)            The Collateral Trustee hereby agrees not to cause the filing against the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, of a petition in bankruptcy for the non-payment to the Collateral Trustee of any amounts provided by this Section 6.7 until at least one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect and one day, after the payment in full of all Debt issued under this Indenture and incurred under any Credit Agreement.

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

Section 6.8.             Corporate Collateral Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Collateral Trustee hereunder which shall be an Independent organization or entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$200,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, having a long term issuer rating of at least "BBB-" by S&P and having an office within the United States; provided that, if the Collateral Trustee, or its successor's rating at any time is below the minimum rating or capitalization requirement as set forth in this sentence, the Collateral Trustee (x) shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Collateral Manager and (y) may retain its eligibility if it obtains or has obtained (i) a confirmation from the Rating Agency that the Rating Agency's then-current rating of the Class A-1 Debt will not be downgraded or withdrawn by reason of the Collateral Trustee's rating or capitalization or (ii) a written waiver or other written acknowledgement (which may be evidenced by an exchange of electronic messages or facsimiles) from the Rating Agency that it will not review the Rating Agency's then current rating of the Debt in such circumstances. If such organization or entity publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.8, the combined capital and surplus of such organization or entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent published report of condition. If at any time the Collateral Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.8, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VI.

151

Section 6.9.             Collateral Trustee Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Collateral Trustee. No resignation or removal of the Collateral Trustee and no appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Collateral Trustee under Section 6.10.

(a)            Subject to Section 6.9(a), the Collateral Trustee may resign at any time by giving not less than 30 days' written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Holders of the Debt and the Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees satisfying the requirements of Section 6.8 by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by a Responsible Officer of the Issuer, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Collateral Trustee so resigning and one copy to the successor Collateral Trustee or Collateral Trustees, together with a copy to each Holder and the Collateral Manager; provided that such successor Collateral Trustee shall be appointed only upon the written consent of a Majority of the Secured Debt of each Class or, at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or when a successor Collateral Trustee has been appointed pursuant to Section 6.9(e), by an Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class. If no successor Collateral Trustee shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Collateral Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Collateral Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Collateral Trustee or any Holder, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 6.8.

(b)            The Collateral Trustee may be removed at any time upon 30 days written notice by Act of a Majority of each Class of Debt or, at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing by an Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class, delivered to the Collateral Trustee and to the Issuer. In addition, the Issuer may remove the Collateral Trustee at any time without advance notice and without the consent of any Holders or any other person if (i) a termination notice is provided with respect to any agreement between the Bank and the Clearing Bank, (ii) any agreement between the Bank and the Clearing Bank is amended without the consent of the Issuer or (iii) the Clearing Bank defaults in its obligations under any agreement between the Bank and the Clearing Bank.

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

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

152

then, in any such case (subject to Section 6.9(a)), (A) the Issuer, by Issuer Order, may remove the Collateral Trustee, or (B) subject to Section 5.15, any Holder may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Collateral Trustee and the appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee.

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

(e)            The Issuer shall give prompt notice of each resignation and each removal of the Collateral Trustee and each appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee by providing written notice of such event to the Collateral Manager, to the Rating Agency, the Loan Agent and to the Holders of the Notes as their names and addresses appear in the Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Collateral Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. If the Issuer fails to provide such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Collateral Trustee, the successor Collateral Trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Issuer. If the Bank shall resign or be removed as Collateral Trustee, the Bank shall also resign or be removed as Custodian, Paying Agent, Calculation Agent, Collateral Administrator, Registrar and any other capacity in which the Bank is then acting pursuant to this Indenture or any other Transaction Document.

Section 6.10.           Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Collateral Trustee. Every successor Collateral Trustee appointed hereunder shall meet the requirements of Section 6.8 and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer, the Loan Agent and the retiring Collateral Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment. Upon delivery of the required instruments, the resignation or removal of the retiring Collateral Trustee shall become effective and such successor Collateral Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Collateral Trustee; but, on request of the Issuer or a Majority of any Class of Secured Debt or the successor Collateral Trustee, such retiring Collateral Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Collateral Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Collateral Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Collateral Trustee all property and Money held by such retiring Collateral Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Collateral Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Collateral Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

153

Section 6.11.           Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Collateral Trustee. Any organization or entity into which the Collateral Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any organization or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Trustee shall be a party, or any organization or entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Collateral Trustee, shall be the successor of the Collateral Trustee hereunder; provided that such organization or entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VI, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any of the Notes have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Collateral Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Collateral Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Collateral Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

Section 6.12.           Co-Collateral Trustees. At any time or times, the Issuer and the Collateral Trustee shall have power to appoint one or more Persons to act as co-trustee (subject to written notice to the Rating Agency), jointly with the Collateral Trustee, of all or any part of the Assets, with the power to file such proofs of claim and take such other actions pursuant to Section 5.6 herein and to make such claims and enforce such rights of action on behalf of the Holders, as such Holders themselves may have the right to do, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.12.

The Issuer shall join with the Collateral Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint a co-trustee. If the Issuer does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, the Collateral Trustee shall have the power to make such appointment.

Should any written instrument from the Issuer be required by any co-trustee so appointed, more fully confirming to such co-trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer. The Issuer agrees to pay, to the extent funds are available therefor under Section 11.1(a)(i)(A), 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, ▇▇▇▇ and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Collateral Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised solely by the Collateral Trustee;

(b)            the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Collateral 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 Collateral Trustee or by the Collateral Trustee and such co-trustee jointly as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee;

154

(c)            the Collateral Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Issuer evidenced by an Issuer Order, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee appointed under this Section 6.12, and in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Trustee shall have the power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee without the concurrence of the Issuer. A successor to any co-trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section 6.12;

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

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

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

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

Section 6.13.          Certain Duties of Collateral Trustee Related to Delayed Payment of Proceeds. In the event that in any month the Collateral Trustee receives notice from the Collateral Manager or the Collateral Administrator that a payment has not been received with respect to any Asset on its Due Date, (a) the Collateral Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Collateral Manager in writing or electronically and (b) unless within three Business Days (or the end of the applicable grace period for such payment, if any) after such notice such payment shall have been received by the Collateral 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 Collateral Trustee in accordance with Section 10.2(a), the Collateral Trustee shall, not later than the Business Day immediately following the last day of such period and in any case upon request by the Collateral Manager, request the issuer of such Asset, the trustee under the related Underlying 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 Collateral Trustee, subject to the provisions of clause (iv) of Section 6.1(c), shall take such reasonable action as the Collateral Manager shall direct in writing. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture. In the event that the Issuer or the Collateral Manager requests a release of an Asset and/or delivers an additional Collateral Obligation in connection with any such action under the Collateral Management Agreement or under this Indenture, such release and/or substitution shall be subject to Section 10.8 and Article XII of this Indenture, as the case may be. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Collateral Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer or its designee any payment with respect to any Asset or any additional Collateral Obligation received after the Due Date thereof to the extent the Issuer previously made provisions for such payment satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee in accordance with this Section 6.13 and such payment shall not be deemed part of the Assets.

155

Section 6.14.           Authenticating Agents. Upon the request of the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee shall, and if the Collateral Trustee so chooses the Collateral Trustee may, appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 8.5, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by such Sections to authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 6.14 shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes by the Collateral Trustee.

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

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

Unless the Authenticating Agent is also the same entity as the Collateral Trustee, the Issuer agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating thereto as an Administrative Expense. The provisions of Sections 2.8, 6.4 and 6.5 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

Section 6.15.           Withholding. If any withholding tax is imposed on the Issuer's payment (or allocations of income) under the Debt to any Holder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Holder. The Collateral Trustee or any Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to any Holder sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Issuer (but such authorization shall not prevent the Collateral Trustee or such Paying Agent from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to any Holder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Holder at the time it is withheld by the Collateral Trustee or any Paying Agent and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution and the Collateral Trustee or any Paying Agent has not received documentation from such Holder showing an exemption from withholding, the Collateral Trustee or such Paying Agent shall withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 6.15. If any Holder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Collateral Trustee or such Paying Agent shall reasonably cooperate with such Holder in making such claim so long as such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to reimburse the Collateral Trustee or such Paying Agent for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred. Nothing herein shall impose an obligation on the part of the Collateral Trustee or any Paying Agent to determine the amount of any tax or withholding obligation on the part of the Issuer or in respect of the Debt.

156

Section 6.16.           Collateral Trustee as Representative for Secured Holders Only; Collateral Trustee as Agent for each other Secured Party and the Holders of the Subordinated Notes. With respect to the security interest created hereunder, the delivery of any Asset to the Collateral Trustee is to the Collateral Trustee as representative of the Holders of Secured Debt and agent for each other Secured Party and the Holders of the Subordinated Notes. In furtherance of the foregoing, the possession by the Collateral Trustee of any Asset, the endorsement to or registration in the name of the Collateral Trustee of any Asset are all undertaken by the Collateral Trustee in its capacity as representative of the Holders of Secured Debt and agent for each other Secured Party and the Holders of the Subordinated Notes.

The Issuer may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of any such agent or appoint any additional agents for any or all of such purposes; provided that (x) the Issuer 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 in respect of the Debt 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 Debt may be presented for payment; and (y) no paying agent shall be appointed in a jurisdiction which subjects payments on the Debt to withholding tax solely as a result of such Paying Agent's activities. The Issuer shall at all times maintain a duplicate copy of the Register at the Corporate Trust Office of the Collateral Trustee or the Corporate Trust Office of the Loan Agent, as applicable. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Rating Agency and the Holders of the appointment or termination of any such agent and of the location and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or outside the United States, or shall fail to furnish the Collateral Trustee with the address thereof, presentations and surrenders may be made (subject to the limitations described in the preceding paragraph) at, notices and demands may be served on the Issuer, and Debt may be presented and surrendered for payment to the appropriate Paying Agent at its main office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the same as their agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

Section 7.3.             Money for Debt Payments to be Held in Trust. All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Debt that is to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Payment Account shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the Collateral Trustee or a Paying Agent with respect to payments on the Debt.

158

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

Whenever the Issuer shall have a Paying Agent other than the Collateral Trustee, they shall, on or before the Business Day next preceding each Payment Date and any Redemption Date, as the case may be, direct the Collateral Trustee to deposit on such Payment Date or such Redemption Date, as the case may be, with such Paying Agent, if necessary, an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due (to the extent funds are then available for such purpose in the Payment Account), such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless such Paying Agent is the Collateral Trustee) the Issuer shall promptly notify the Collateral Trustee of its action or failure so to act. Any Monies deposited with a Paying Agent (other than the Collateral Trustee) in excess of an amount sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due on the Debt with respect to which such deposit was made shall be paid over by such Paying Agent to the Collateral Trustee for application in accordance with Article XI.

The initial Paying Agent shall be as set forth in Section 7.2. Any additional or successor Paying Agents shall be appointed by Issuer Order with written notice thereof to the Collateral Trustee; provided that so long as the Debt of any Class is rated by the Rating Agency, with respect to any additional or successor Paying Agent, either (i) such Paying Agent meets the minimum rating provided in Section 6.8 or (ii) the S&P Rating Condition is satisfied. If such successor Paying Agent ceases to meet the minimum rating provided in Section 6.8, the Issuer shall promptly remove such Paying Agent and appoint a successor Paying Agent. The Issuer shall not appoint any Paying Agent that is not, at the time of such appointment, a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision and examination by federal and/or state and/or national banking authorities. The Issuer shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Collateral Trustee to execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Collateral Trustee and if the Collateral 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 Debt for which it acts as Paying Agent on each Payment Date and any Redemption Date among such Holders in the proportion specified in the applicable Distribution Report to the extent permitted by applicable law;

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

(c)            if such Paying Agent is not the Collateral Trustee, immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Collateral Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Debt 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;

159

(d)            if such Paying Agent is not the Collateral Trustee, immediately give the Collateral Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer in the making of any payment required to be made; and

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

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Collateral Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Collateral Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Collateral Trustee, such 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 Collateral Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for any payment on any Debt and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Order; and the Holder of such Debt shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment of such amounts (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer) and all liability of the Collateral Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust Money shall thereupon cease. The Collateral Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such release of payment, may, but shall not be required to, adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer any reasonable means of notification of such release of payment, including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such release to Holders whose 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 any Paying Agent, at the last address of record of each such Holder.

Section 7.4.             Existence of the Issuer. The Issuer shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, maintain in full force and effect its existence and rights as a statutory trust formed under the laws of the State of Delaware, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualifications are or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Credit Agreements, the Debt or any of the Assets; provided that the Issuer shall be entitled to change its jurisdiction of formation from the State of Delaware to any other jurisdiction reasonably selected by the Issuer at the direction of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes so long as (i) the Issuer has received a legal opinion (upon which the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent may conclusively rely) to the effect that such change is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders, (ii) written notice of such change shall have been given to the Collateral Trustee by the Issuer, which notice shall be promptly forwarded by the Collateral Trustee to the Holders, the Collateral Manager and to the Rating Agency and (iii) on or prior to the 15th Business Day following receipt of such notice the Collateral Trustee shall not have received written notice from a Majority of the Controlling Class objecting to such change.

160

(a)            The Issuer (i) shall ensure that all organizational or other formalities regarding its existence (including, if required, holding regular meetings of the board of directors, trustees, beneficial owners, managers, shareholders and partners, as applicable, or other similar meetings) are followed and (ii) shall not have any employees (other than its directors, managers, beneficial owners, trustees and partners to the extent they are employees). The Issuer shall not take any action, or conduct its affairs in a manner, that is likely to result in its separate existence being ignored or in its assets and liabilities being substantively consolidated with any other Person in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding. Without limiting the foregoing, (A) the Issuer shall not have any subsidiaries; and (B) (x) the Issuer shall not (1) except as contemplated by the Collateral Management Agreement or the Trust Agreement, engage in any transaction with any shareholder or holder of trust interests that would constitute a conflict of interest or (2) pay dividends or distributions other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Trust Agreement and (y) the Issuer shall (1) maintain books and records separate from any other Person, (2) maintain its accounts separate from those of any other Person, (3) not commingle its assets with those of any other Person, (4) conduct its own business in its own name, (5) maintain separate financial statements, (6) pay its own liabilities out of its own funds, (7) maintain an arm's length relationship with its Affiliates, (8) use separate stationery, invoices and checks, (9) hold itself out as a separate Person, (10) correct any known misunderstanding regarding its separate identity and (11) have at least one Independent Manager that is Independent of the Collateral Manager.

Section 7.5.             Protection of Assets. The Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer will cause the taking of such action within the Collateral Manager's control as is reasonably necessary in order to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Collateral Trustee in the Assets; provided that the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to rely on any Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to Section 7.6 and any opinion delivered on the Closing Date to determine what actions are reasonably necessary, and shall be fully protected in so relying on such an Opinion of Counsel, unless the Collateral Manager has actual knowledge that the procedures described in any such Opinion of Counsel are no longer adequate to maintain such perfection and priority. The Issuer shall from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and file or authorize the filing of all such Financing Statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action as may be necessary or advisable or desirable to secure the rights and remedies of the Holders of the Secured Debt hereunder and to:

(i)            Grant more effectively all or any portion of the Assets;

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

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

The Issuer hereby designates the Collateral Trustee as its agent and attorney in fact to prepare and file and hereby authorizes the filing of any Financing Statement, continuation statement and all other instruments, and take all other actions, required pursuant to this Section 7.5. Such designation shall not impose upon the Collateral Trustee, or release or diminish, the Issuer's and the Collateral Manager's obligations under this Section 7.5. The Issuer further authorizes and shall cause the Issuer's United States counsel to file without the Issuer's signature a Financing Statement that names the Issuer as debtor and the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as secured party and that describes "all personal property of the Debtor now owned or hereafter acquired" as the Assets of the Issuer in which the Collateral Trustee has a Grant.

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

(iv)          (A) permit the validity or effectiveness of this Indenture, the Credit Agreements or any Grant hereunder to be impaired, or permit the lien of this Indenture to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or obligations with respect to this Indenture, the Credit Agreements or the Debt except as may be permitted hereby or by the Collateral Management Agreement, (B) except as permitted by this Indenture, permit any lien, charge, adverse claim, security interest, mortgage or other encumbrance (other than the lien of this Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden any part of the Assets, any interest therein or the proceeds thereof, or (C) except as permitted by this Indenture, take any action that would permit the lien of this Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority security interest in the Assets;

(c)            The Issuer shall not be party to any agreements without including customary "non-petition" and "limited recourse" provisions therein (and shall not amend or eliminate such provisions in any agreement to which it is party), except for any agreements related to the purchase and sale of any Assets which contain customary (as determined by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion) purchase or sale terms or which are documented using customary (as determined by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion) loan trading documentation.

Section 7.16.           Calculation Agent. The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any Secured Debt remains Outstanding there will at all times be an agent appointed (which does not control or is not controlled or under common control with the Issuer or its Affiliates or the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates) to calculate the Benchmark in respect of each Interest Accrual Period (or portion thereof) in accordance with the terms hereof (the "Calculation Agent"). The Issuer hereby appoints the Collateral Administrator as Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, in respect of any Interest Accrual Period, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, will promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer or its Affiliates or the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties or be removed without a successor having been duly appointed.

(a)            The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree (and the Collateral Administrator as Calculation Agent does hereby agree) that, as soon as practicable after 5:00 a.m. Chicago time on each Interest Determination Date, but in no event later than 5:00 a.m. New York time on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately following each Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will calculate the Interest Rate applicable to each Class of Secured Debt during the related Interest Accrual Period (or portion thereof) and the Debt Interest Amount (in each case, rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upward) payable on the related Payment Date in respect of such Class of Secured Debt in respect of the related Interest Accrual Period. At such time, the Calculation Agent will communicate such rates and amounts to the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, each Paying Agent, the Collateral Manager, Euroclear and Clearstream. The Calculation Agent shall notify the Issuer before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on every Interest Determination Date if it has not determined and is not in the process of determining any such Interest Rate or Debt Interest Amount together with its reasons therefor. The Calculation Agent's determination of the foregoing rates and amounts for any Interest Accrual Period (or portion thereof) will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties. Neither the Collateral Trustee nor the Calculation Agent shall have any liability or responsibility for the determination (other than the calculation of such rate once such applicable rate has been selected), selection or verification of an alternative base rate (including, without limitation, whether any such rate is an Alternative Rate or whether the conditions for the designation of such rate have been satisfied). The Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Administrator and the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the Collateral Manager's designation of any such rate and shall have no liability for any failure or delay in performing its duties under this Indenture as a result of the unavailability of a reference rate as described herein‎, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party, ‎including without limitation the Collateral Manager and the Term SOFR Administrator, in providing any direction, instruction, ‎notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Indenture and reasonably required for the ‎performance of such duties.

Section 7.17.           Certain Tax Matters. For so long as the Subordinated Notes and any other interest that is treated as equity in the Issuer is held by a single owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Issuer shall treat itself as disregarded as separate from such owner for such purposes, and in all other situations the Issuer shall treat itself as a partnership (other than a publicly traded partnership), and each Holder or beneficial owner of Subordinated Notes or any Class of Secured Debt that is recharacterized as equity in the Issuer for U.S. federal income tax purposes (such Debt or interest, a "Partnership Interest" and each such Holder or beneficial owner, a "Partner") shall not take or permit any action that is inconsistent with such treatment. Sections 7.17(h), (i), (j), (k)  and (l)  will apply only for so long as the Issuer is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

168

(a)            The Issuer shall treat (i) the Secured Debt as indebtedness of the Issuer for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, except as otherwise required by law and (ii) the Subordinated Notes as equity in the Issuer for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes.

(b)            The Issuer shall file, or cause to be filed, any tax returns, including information tax returns, required by any governmental authority.

(c)            If the Issuer is aware that it has participated in is a "reportable transaction" within the meaning of Section 6011 of the Code, and a Holder of a Subordinated Note (or any Class of Secured Debt that is recharacterized as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) requests in writing information about any such transactions in which the Issuer is a participant, the Issuer shall provide, or cause its Independent accountants to provide, such information it has reasonably available that is required to be obtained by such Holder under the Code as soon as practicable after such request.

(d)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Manager, the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Administrator, the Initial Purchaser, the E.U./U.K. Retention Provider, the U.S. Retention Provider, the Depositor, the Holders and beneficial owners of the Debt and each employee, representative or other agent of those Persons, may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture and all materials of any kind, including opinions or other tax analyses, that are provided to those Persons. This authorization to disclose the U.S. tax treatment and tax structure does not permit disclosure of information identifying the Collateral Manager, the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Administrator, the Initial Purchaser, the E.U./U.K. Retention Provider, the U.S. Retention Provider, the Depositor or any other party to the transactions contemplated by this Indenture, the Offering or the pricing (except to the extent such information is relevant to U.S. tax structure or tax treatment of such transactions).

(e)            Upon the Issuer's receipt of a request of a Holder of a Secured Note, the Collateral Trustee, the Paying Agent, or written request of a Person certifying that it is an owner of a beneficial interest in a Secured Note (including, in each case, Holders and beneficial owners of any Additional Debt issued or incurred hereunder) for the information described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-3(b)(1)(i) that is applicable to such Note, the Issuer will cause its Independent certified public accountants to provide promptly to the Collateral Trustee and such requesting Holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such a Note all of such information. Any additional issuance or incurrence of Debt shall be accomplished in a manner that will allow the Independent certified public accountants of the Issuer to accurately calculate original issue discount income to holders of the Additional Debt. Upon request by the Independent accountants, the Collateral Trustee shall provide to the Independent accountants information reasonably available to it as reasonably requested by the Independent accountants to comply with this Section 7.17, including information contained in the Register.

169

(f)             If required to prevent the withholding and imposition of United States income tax on payments made to the Issuer, the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered an IRS Form W-9 or applicable successor form certifying as to the United States Tax Person status of the Issuer (or, if applicable, the United States Tax Person status of the Person from whom the Issuer is disregarded as separate for U.S. federal income tax purposes) to the issuer or Obligor of or counterparty with respect to an Asset at the time such Asset is purchased or entered into by the Issuer and thereafter prior to the obsolescence or expiration of such form.

(g)            If so requested by a Majority of the Subordinated Notes, and if such Holders agree to reimburse the Issuer for all costs associated with such election, the Issuer is authorized to make (or hire accountants to make) an election under Section 754 of the Code.

(h)            The Partnership Representative shall establish and maintain or cause to be established and maintained on the books and records of the Issuer an individual capital account for each Partner in accordance with Section 704(b) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). For U.S. federal income tax purposes, this Indenture shall constitute as part of the Issuer's partnership agreement for purposes of Subchapter K and any related provisions of the Code and Treasury Regulations.

(ii)           For capital account purposes, all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner such that, if the Issuer were dissolved, its affairs wound up, its assets sold for their respective "book values" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)) and its liabilities satisfied in full (except that nonrecourse liabilities with respect to an asset shall be satisfied only to the extent that such nonrecourse liabilities do not exceed the book value of such asset) and its assets distributed to the Partners in accordance with their respective capital account balances immediately after making such allocation, such distributions would, as nearly as possible, be equal to the distributions that would be made pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture. Any special allocations provided for in Section 7.17(i)(iv)-(vii)  shall be taken into account for capital account purposes. For U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with the allocations of the corresponding items for capital account purposes under this Section 7.17(i), except that items with respect to which there is a difference between tax and book basis will be allocated in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i).

(iii)           The provisions of this Section 7.17(i)  relating to the maintenance of capital accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such regulations. The Partnership Representative shall be authorized to make appropriate amendments to the allocations of items pursuant to this Section 7.17(i)  if necessary in order to comply with Section 704 of the Code or the appropriate provisions of Treasury Regulations.

170

(iv)          Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Section 7.17(i), no item of deduction or loss shall be allocated to a Partner to the extent the allocation would cause a negative balance in the Partner's capital account (after taking into account the adjustments, allocations and distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6)) that exceeds the amount that such Partner would be required to reimburse the Issuer pursuant to this Indenture or under applicable law. In the event some but not all of the Partners would have such excess capital account deficits as a consequence of such an allocation of loss or deduction, the limitation set forth in this Section 7.17(i)(iv)  shall be applied on a Partner by Partner basis so as to allocate the maximum permissible deduction or loss to each such Partner under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). In the event any loss or deduction is specially allocated to a Partner pursuant to either of the two preceding sentences, an equal amount of income of the Issuer shall be specially allocated to such Partner prior to any allocation pursuant to Section 7.17(i)(ii).

(v)           In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6), items of Issuer income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate as quickly as possible any deficit balance in its capital account in excess of that permitted under Section 7.17(i)(iv)  created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions. Any special allocations of items of income or gain pursuant to this Section 7.17(i)(v)  shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations pursuant to this Section 7.17(i)(v)  so that the net amount of any items so allocated and all other items allocated to each Partner pursuant to this Section 7.17(i)(v)  shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Partner pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.17(i)  if such unexpected adjustments, allocations or distributions had not occurred.

(vi)          In the event the Issuer incurs any nonrecourse liabilities, income and gain shall be allocated in accordance with the "minimum gain chargeback" provisions of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv) and 1.704-2.

(vii)         The capital accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect the fair market value of Issuer property whenever a Partnership Interest is relinquished to the Issuer, whenever an additional Person becomes a Partner as permitted under this Indenture, upon any termination of the Issuer within the meaning of Section 708 of the Code, and when the Issuer is liquidated as permitted under this Indenture, and shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) in the case of a distribution of any property (other than cash).

(i)              The U.S. Retention Provider shall be the initial "partnership representative" of the Issuer as defined in Section 6223 of the Code (the "Partnership Representative") (or, if not eligible to be the Partnership Representative, the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Partnership Representative) and may designate the Partnership Representative from time to time from among any willing Holder of Subordinated Notes (including itself and any of its Affiliates) with respect to any taxable year of the Issuer during which the U.S. Retention Provider or any of its Affiliates holds or has held any Subordinated Notes (and if such designee is not eligible under the Code to be the Partnership Representative, it shall be the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Partnership Representative); provided, that during any other period or if the U.S. Retention Provider declines to so designate a Partnership Representative, the Issuer (after consultation with the Collateral Manager) shall designate the Partnership Representative from among any Holder of Subordinated Notes (excluding the U.S. Retention Provider and its Affiliates) (and if such designee is not eligible under the Code to be the Partnership Representative, it shall be the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Partnership Representative). The Partnership Representative (or, if applicable, its agent and attorney-in- fact) shall sign the Issuer's tax returns and is authorized to make tax elections on behalf of the Issuer in its reasonable discretion, to determine the amount and characterization of any allocations or tax items described in this Section 7.17 in its reasonable discretion, and to take all actions and do such things as required or as it shall deem appropriate under the Code, at the Issuer's sole expense, including representing the Issuer before taxing authorities and courts in tax matters affecting the Issuer and the Partners. Any action taken by the Partnership Representative in connection with audits of the Issuer under the Code will, to the extent permitted by law, be binding upon the Partners. Each such Partner agrees that it will treat any Issuer item on such Partner's income tax returns consistently with the treatment of the item on the Issuer's tax return and that such Partner will not independently act with respect to tax audits or tax litigation affecting the Issuer, unless previously authorized to do so in writing by the Partnership Representative (or, if applicable, its agent and attorney-in-fact), which authorization may be withheld in the complete discretion of the Partnership Representative (or, if applicable, its agent and attorney-in fact). The Issuer will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, reimburse and indemnify the Partnership Representative and any agent and attorney-in-fact of such Partnership Representative in connection with any expenses reasonably incurred in connection with its performance of its duties as or on behalf of the Partnership Representative. For the avoidance of doubt, any indemnity or reimbursement provided pursuant to the immediately foregoing sentence shall be treated as an Administrative Expense pursuant to the definition thereof.

171

(j)            If the IRS, in connection with an audit governed by Section 6221 through 6241 of the Code (the "Partnership Tax Audit Rules"), proposes an adjustment greater than $25,000 in the amount of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Issuer, or any Partner's distributive share thereof, and such adjustment results in an "imputed underpayment" as described in Section 6225(b) of the Code (a "Covered Audit Adjustment"), the Partnership Representative will use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account whether the Partnership Representative has received any needed information on a timely basis from the Partners), to apply the alternative method provided by Section 6226 of the Code (the "Alternative Method"). In the event the proposed adjustment is equal to or less than $25,000, the Partnership Representative may in its sole discretion elect to have the Issuer pay such adjustment. To the extent that the Partnership Representative does not (or is unable to) elect the Alternative Method with respect to a Covered Audit Adjustment and such Covered Audit Adjustment is material as to the Issuer (determined in the Partnership Representative's sole discretion), the Partnership Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) to the extent not economically or administratively burdensome or onerous, make reasonable modifications available under Sections 6225(c)(3), (4) and (5) of the Code (taking into account whether the Partnership Representative has received any needed information on a timely basis from the Partners) and would reduce any taxes payable by the Issuer with respect to the Covered Audit Adjustment, and (ii) if reasonably requested by a Partner, provide to such Partner available information allowing such Partner to file an amended U.S. federal income tax return, as described in Section 6225(c)(2) of the Code, to the extent that such amended return and payment of any related U.S. federal income taxes would reduce any taxes payable by the Issuer with respect to the Covered Audit Adjustment (after taking into account any modifications described in clause (h)). Similar procedures shall be followed in connection with any state or local income tax audit governed by rules similar to the Partnership Tax Audit Rules. Any U.S. federal income taxes (and any related interest and penalties) paid by the Issuer (or any diminution in distributable proceeds resulting from an adjustment under Partnership Tax Audit Rules) may be allocated in the reasonable discretion of the Issuer to those Partners to whom such amounts are specifically attributable (whether as a result of their status, actions, inactions or otherwise), as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Issuer. The Issuer shall not elect or cause any election to be made to apply the Partnership Tax Audit Rules to the Issuer prior to the generally applicable effective date of such legislation, unless the Issuer, in good faith, reasonably determines that such an election would be in the best interests of the Issuer and all Holders of the Debt.

172

(k)            The Issuer will provide, or cause its Independent accountants to provide, a Holder of the Subordinated Notes (or any Class of Secured Debt that is recharacterized as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) at any time during a taxable year with an annual statement (including a Schedule K-1 and/or other applicable Schedule K to IRS Form 1065) indicating such ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s allocable share of the Issuer's tax items for such year taxable year.

(l)            Upon a Re-Pricing or the designation of an Alternative Rate, the Issuer will cause its Independent accountants to comply with any requirements under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1273-2(f)(9) (or any successor provision) including (as applicable), to (i) determine whether Debt of the Re-Priced Class, the Debt subject to the designation of an Alternative Rate, or Debt replacing the Re-Priced Class are traded on an established market, and (ii) if so traded, to determine the fair market value of such Debt and to make available such fair market value determination to holders in a commercially reasonable fashion, including by electronic publication, within 90 days of the date that the new Debt is issued.

(m)          No more than 50% of the debt obligations (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) held by the Issuer may at any time consist of real estate mortgages as determined for purposes of Section 7701(i) of the Code unless the Issuer has received written advice of Dechert LLP or an opinion of counsel from another nationally recognized law firm experienced in such matters to the effect that the ownership of such debt obligations will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a taxable mortgage pool for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Section 7.18.          Effective Date; Purchase of Additional Collateral Obligations. The Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to purchase, on or before the Effective Date, Collateral Obligations (i) such that the Target Initial Par Condition is satisfied and (ii) that satisfy, as of the Effective Date, the Concentration Limitations, the Collateral Quality Tests and the Coverage Tests.

(a)           During the period from the Closing Date to and including the Effective Date, the Issuer will use the following funds to purchase additional Collateral Obligations in the following order: (i) to pay for the principal portion of any Collateral Obligation, first, any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account, and second, any Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) to pay for accrued interest on any such Collateral Obligation, first, any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account and second, any Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to acquire such Collateral Obligations that will satisfy, on the Effective Date, the Concentration Limitations, the Collateral Quality Tests and each Overcollateralization Ratio Test.

173

(b)           Within 30 Business Days after the Effective Date (but in any event, prior to the Determination Date relating to the first Payment Date after the Closing Date), the Issuer shall provide, or (at the Issuer's expense) cause the Collateral Manager to provide, the following documents:

(i)               to the Rating Agency (via email to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇), a report identifying Collateral Obligations and a Microsoft Excel file ("Excel Default Model Input File") that provides all of the inputs required to determine whether the S&P CDO Monitor Test has been satisfied and the Collateral Manager shall provide a Microsoft Excel file including, at a minimum, the following data with respect to each Collateral Obligation: LoanX identification number, CUSIP number (if any), name of Obligor, coupon, spread (if applicable), Floating Rate Obligation Floor (if any), legal final maturity date, average life, outstanding principal balance, Principal Balance, identification as a Cov-Lite Loan or otherwise, identification as a First-Lien Last-Out Loan or otherwise, settlement date, the purchase price with respect to any Collateral Obligation the purchase of which has not settled, S&P Industry Classification and S&P Recovery Rate, and requesting that S&P reaffirm its Initial Ratings of the Secured Debt rated by it;

(ii)              to the Collateral Trustee and the Rating Agency (via email to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) a report, prepared by the Collateral Administrator (the "Effective Date Report"), (A) setting forth the issuer, principal balance, coupon/spread, Stated Maturity, S&P Rating and country of Domicile with respect to each Collateral Obligation as of the Effective Date and (B) calculating as of the Effective Date the level of compliance with, or satisfaction or non-satisfaction of (1) each Overcollateralization Ratio Test, (2) the Collateral Quality Tests (excluding the S&P CDO Monitor Test), (3) the Concentration Limitations and (4) the Target Initial Par Condition;

(iii)             to the Collateral Trustee and the Collateral Manager, (A) an Accountants' Report comparing, as of the Effective Date, the issuer, Principal Balance, coupon/spread, stated maturity, S&P Rating and country of Domicile with respect to each Collateral Obligation by reference to such sources as shall be specified therein (such report, the "Accountants' Effective Date Comparison AUP Report") and (B) an Accountants' Report performing agreed upon procedures as of the Effective Date including recalculating and comparing the following items in the Effective Date Report: (1) each Overcollateralization Ratio Test, the Collateral Quality Tests (excluding the S&P CDO Monitor Test) and the Concentration Limitations, and (2) whether the Target Initial Par Condition is satisfied (such report, the "Accountants' Effective Date Recalculation AUP Report" and together with the Accountants' Effective Date Comparison AUP Report, the "Accountants' Effective Date AUP Reports"), with both Accountants' Effective Date AUP Reports containing a statement specifying the procedures undertaken by them to review data and computations relating to such Accountants' Effective Date AUP Reports; and

(iv)            to the Collateral Trustee and the Rating Agency (via email to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) an Officer's certificate of the Issuer (the "Effective Date Certificate") certifying as to the level of compliance with, or satisfaction or non-satisfaction of, (1) each Overcollateralization Ratio Test, (2) the Collateral Quality Tests (excluding the S&P CDO Monitor Test), (3) the Concentration Limitations, and (4) the Target Initial Par Condition, in each case, as of the Effective Date.

174

If (w) the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, as the case may be, provides the foregoing Accountants' Effective Date AUP Reports to the Collateral Trustee with the results of the items set forth in subclause (ii)(B) above, and such results do not indicate any failure of any such tested item, (x) the Issuer delivers the Effective Date Certificate to the Collateral Trustee and the Rating Agency and causes the Collateral Administrator to make available to the Rating Agency (i) a report identifying the Collateral Obligations, (ii) the Effective Date Report, and such Effective Date Certificate and Effective Date Report indicates satisfaction of the S&P CDO Monitor Test as of the Effective Date, (y) the Collateral Manager certifies to S&P (which may be in the form of an e-mail) that as of the Effective Date the S&P CDO Monitor Test is satisfied (testing as though an S&P CDO Formula Election Period were in effect and taking into account the S&P CDO Monitor Non-Model Adjustments) and (z) the Collateral Manager provides to S&P an electronic copy of the Current Portfolio used to generate the passing test result, a written confirmation from S&P of its Initial Ratings of the Secured Debt rated by it shall be deemed to have been provided (the "Effective Date Condition"). For the avoidance of doubt, the Effective Date Certificate and the Effective Date Report shall not include or refer to the Accountants' Effective Date AUP Reports. In accordance with SEC Release No. 34-72936, Form 15-E, only in its complete and unedited form which includes the Accountants' Effective Date Comparison AUP Report as an attachment, will be provided by the Independent accountants to the Issuer and Information Agent who will forward for posting such Form 15-E on the Issuer's Website. Copies of the Accountants' Effective Date Recalculation AUP Report or any other agreed upon procedures report provided by the Independent accountants to the Issuer will not be provided to any other party including the Rating Agency or posted on the Issuer's Website (other than as provided in any access letter between such Person and the accountants).

(c)           If, by the Determination Date relating to the first Payment Date after the Closing Date (unless the Effective Date Condition is satisfied) S&P has not provided written confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Secured Debt rated by it, then the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, shall instruct the Collateral Trustee in writing to transfer amounts from the Interest Collection Subaccount to the Principal Collection Subaccount (and with such funds the Issuer shall purchase additional Collateral Obligations) in an amount sufficient to obtain from S&P a confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Secured Debt rated by it (provided that the amount of such transfer would not result in default in the payment of interest with respect to the Class A-1 Debt, the Class A-2 Debt or the Class B Debt); provided that, in the alternative, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may take such other action, including but not limited to, a Special Redemption and/or transferring amounts from the Interest Collection Subaccount to the Principal Collection Subaccount as Principal Proceeds (for use in a Special Redemption), sufficient to obtain from S&P a confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Secured Debt rated by it.

(d)           The failure of the Issuer to satisfy the requirements of this Section 7.18 will not constitute an Event of Default unless such failure constitutes an Event of Default under Section 5.1(d)  hereof and the Issuer, or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer, has acted in bad faith. Of the proceeds of the issuance of the Debt which are not applied to pay for the purchase of Collateral Obligations acquired by the Issuer on the Closing Date an amount equal to U.S.$160,590,909.88 will be deposited in the Ramp-Up Account on the Closing Date. At the direction of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer), the Collateral Trustee shall apply amounts held in the Ramp-Up Account to purchase additional Collateral Obligations from the Closing Date to and including the Effective Date as described in clause (b) above. If on the Effective Date, any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account have not been applied to purchase Collateral Obligations, such amounts shall be applied as described in Section 10.3(c).

175

(e)           Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate. The Collateral Manager may, at any time after the Closing Date upon at least five Business Days' prior written notice to S&P, the Collateral Trustee and the Collateral Administrator, elect to utilize the S&P CDO Monitor in determining compliance with the S&P CDO Monitor Test (the effective date specified by the Collateral Manager for such election, the "S&P CDO Monitor Election Date"). On or prior to the later of (x) the S&P CDO Monitor Election Date and (y) the Effective Date, the Collateral Manager shall elect the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate that shall apply on and after such date to the Collateral Obligations for purposes of determining compliance with the Minimum Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate Test, and the Collateral Manager will so notify the Collateral Trustee and the Collateral Administrator. Thereafter, at any time during any S&P CDO Monitor Election Period on written notice to the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Administrator and S&P, the Collateral Manager may elect a different Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate to apply to the Collateral Obligations; provided, that if (i) the Collateral Obligations are currently in compliance with the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate case then applicable to the Collateral Obligations but the Collateral Obligations would not be in compliance with the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate case to which the Collateral Manager desires to change, then such changed case shall not apply or (ii) the Collateral Obligations are not currently in compliance with the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate case then applicable to the Collateral Obligations and would not be in compliance with any other Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate case, the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate to apply to the Collateral Obligations shall be the lowest Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate in Section 2 of Schedule 4. If the Collateral Manager does not notify the Collateral Trustee and the Collateral Administrator that it will alter the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate in the manner set forth above, the Weighted Average S&P Recovery Rate chosen as of the S&P CDO Monitor Election Date or the Effective Date, as applicable, shall continue to apply.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and solely for purposes related to any holder consent required with respect to any proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to Sections 8.1 and 8.2 hereof, a holder shall be deemed to have provided consent to any amendment or modification undertaken pursuant to such section if (i) such holder affirmatively provides written consent or (ii) such holders fails to deliver a written objection (including via e-mail to the address provided in the notice of supplemental indenture) on or prior to 10 Business Days following notice by the Collateral Trustee of such supplemental indenture.

(b)            No supplemental indenture will be required to be entered into in connection with any Exception.

185

(c)            Except as set forth in Section 8.3(e), the Collateral Trustee and the Issuer may conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel (which may be supported as to factual (including financial and capital markets) matters by any relevant certificates and other documents necessary or advisable in the judgment of the counsel delivering the opinion) that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied (and the Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely on such opinion as evidence that any such Class would not be materially and adversely affected by such supplemental indenture) or a Responsible Officer's certificate of the Collateral Manager as to whether any Class of Debt would be materially and adversely affected by any supplemental indenture or other modification or amendment of this Indenture, it being expressly understood and agreed that the Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to make any investigation or determination as to the satisfaction of the requirements related to any supplemental indenture which may form the basis of such Opinion of Counsel or such Responsible Officer's certificate, and shall have no liability for any determination made in good faith and in reliance upon an Opinion of Counsel or such a Responsible Officer's certificate delivered to the Collateral Trustee as described herein. Unless the Collateral Trustee and the Issuer are notified (within 6 days after notice by the Issuer to the Holders of a proposed supplemental indenture) by a Majority of any Class from whom consent is not being requested by the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager) that the Holders of such Class giving such notice believe that they will be materially and adversely affected by the proposed supplemental indenture, the interests of such Class will be deemed for all purposes hereunder to not be materially and adversely affected by such proposed supplemental indenture. The determination made pursuant to this paragraph shall be conclusive and binding on all present and future holders.

(d)           In connection with the execution of a supplemental indenture requiring consent of the Class A-1 Debt if such Class is materially and adversely affected thereby, unless notified by a Majority of the Class A-1 Debt that such Class would be materially and adversely affected by such supplemental indenture, the Collateral Trustee and the Issuer may conclusively rely on an opinion of counsel delivered to the Collateral Trustee (which may be supported as to factual (including financial and capital markets) matters by any relevant certificates and other documents necessary or advisable in the judgment of counsel delivering the opinion) that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied (and the Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely on such opinion as evidence that such Class would not be materially and adversely affected by such supplemental indenture) or a certificate of an Officer of the Collateral Manager as to whether the interests of such Class would be materially and adversely affected by such supplemental indenture.

(e)            The Collateral Trustee shall 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 Collateral Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Collateral Trustee's own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

186

(f)            In executing or accepting the additional trusts created by any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article VIII or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.3) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied. The Collateral Trustee shall not be liable for any reliance made in good faith upon such an Opinion of Counsel. Such determination shall, in each case, be conclusive and binding on all present and future Holders and beneficial owners.

(g)           At the cost of the Issuer, for so long as any Debt shall remain Outstanding, not later than 10 days prior to the execution of any proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.1 and not later than 7 days prior to the execution of any proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.2, the Collateral Trustee shall deliver to the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator, the Loan Agent and the Holders a copy of such proposed supplemental indenture; provided that, for any party entitled to receive notice, this provision will be deemed satisfied (1) upon the written waiver of such party to receipt of such notice or (2) in the case of the holders, the simultaneous payment in full of the Debt held by such holders pursuant to the proposed supplemental indenture. At the cost of the Issuer, for so long as any Class of Secured Debt shall remain Outstanding and such Class is rated by the Rating Agency, the Collateral Trustee shall provide to the Rating Agency a copy of any proposed supplemental indenture at least 7 days prior to the execution thereof by the Collateral Trustee (unless such period is waived by the Rating Agency). Following such deliveries by the Collateral Trustee, if any changes are made to such proposed supplemental indenture other than to correct typographical errors or to adjust formatting, then at the cost of the Issuer, for so long as any Debt shall remain Outstanding, not later than 3 days prior to the execution of such proposed supplemental indenture (provided that the execution of such proposed supplemental indenture shall not in any case occur earlier than the date 10 days or 7 days, as applicable, after the initial distribution of such proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8.3(h)), the Collateral Trustee shall deliver to the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator, the Loan Agent, the Holders and the Rating Agency a copy of such supplemental indenture as revised, indicating the changes that were made. Any failure of the Collateral Trustee to publish or deliver such notices, or any defect therein, shall not in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. In the case of a supplemental indenture to be entered into pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(xii)(B), the foregoing notice periods shall not apply and a copy of the proposed supplemental indenture shall be included in the notice of Optional Redemption given to each holder of Secured Debt under Section 9.2; and, upon execution of the supplemental indenture, at the cost of the Issuer, a copy thereof shall be delivered to the Rating Agency and each Holder of Debt.

(h)           Without limiting the rights of any Class to consent to any supplemental indenture as set forth herein, it shall not be necessary for any Act of the Holders to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient, if the consent of any Holders to such proposed supplemental indenture is required, that such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

187

(i)            At any time during or after the Reinvestment Period, at the written direction of any Holder or Holders of Subordinated Notes, substantially in the form of Exhibit E (solely for Contributions of Cash or Eligible Investments), but without any amendment to this Indenture, satisfaction of the S&P Rating Condition or the consent of any other holder of Debt (i) such Holder may make a Contribution of Cash, Eligible Investments or Collateral Obligations or (ii) solely with respect to Holders of Certificated Subordinated Notes, such Holder may designate (prior to the Determination Date) all or a specified portion of amounts that would otherwise be distributed on such Payment Date to such Holder or Holders of Subordinated Notes be retained by the Collateral Trustee in the Supplemental Reserve Account as a Contribution and be available for reinvestment in additional Collateral Obligations and other Permitted Uses as directed by the applicable Contributor, so long as the Collateral Manager consents to such Permitted Use(s) (or, if no direction is given by the Contributor, at the Collateral Manager's reasonable discretion).

(j)            Unless the Collateral Trustee and the Issuer are notified within 6 days after notice by the Collateral Trustee to the holders of a proposed supplemental indenture by a Majority of any Class from whom consent is not being requested that the holders of such Class giving such notice believe that they will be materially and adversely affected by the proposed supplemental indenture, the interests of such Class will be deemed for all purposes to not be materially and adversely affected by such proposed supplemental indenture.

Section 8.4.            Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article VIII, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Debt theretofore and thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

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

Section 8.6.            Hedge Agreements. The Issuer and the Collateral Trustee shall not enter into any supplemental indenture that permits the Issuer to enter into a hedge agreement unless the S&P Rating Condition is satisfied with respect thereto and the Issuer obtains (a) written advice of counsel that such hedge agreement will not cause any Person to be required to register as a "commodity pool operator" (within the meaning of the Commodity Exchange Act) with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in connection with the Issuer and (b) the consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class.

197

(iii)           each such purchase or repayment shall be effected only at prices discounted from par;

On any Business Day after the Non-Call Period, at the direction of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes and with the consent of the Collateral Manager and the U.S. Retention Provider, the Issuer shall reduce the spread over the Benchmark or the fixed interest rate applicable with respect to any Class of Re-Pricing Eligible Debt (such reduction with respect to any such Class of Debt, a "Re-Pricing" and any Class of Secured Debt to be subject to a Re-Pricing, a "Re-Priced Class"); provided that the Issuer shall not effect any Re-Pricing unless each condition specified below is satisfied with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, no terms of any Secured Debt other than the Interest Rate applicable thereto may be modified or supplemented in connection with a Re-Pricing. In connection with any Re-Pricing, the Issuer may engage a broker-dealer (the "Re-Pricing Intermediary") upon the recommendation and subject to the approval of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes and such Re-Pricing Intermediary shall assist the Issuer in effecting the Re-Pricing.

At least 20 days (or such shorter period reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Trustee and the Collateral Manager) prior to the Business Day fixed by a Majority of the Subordinated Notes for any proposed Re-Pricing (the "Re-Pricing Date"), the Issuer (or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer) shall deliver a notice in writing (with a copy to the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Trustee and the Rating Agency) to each Holder of the proposed Re-Priced Class, which notice shall:

(a)           specify the proposed Re-Pricing Date and the revised spread over the Benchmark or the fixed interest rate to be applied with respect to such Class (the "Re-Pricing Rate");

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

(c)           specify the price at which Debt of any Holder of the Re-Priced Class which does not approve the Re-Pricing may be sold and transferred pursuant to the following paragraph, which, for purposes of such Re-Pricing, shall be the Redemption Price after giving effect on a pro forma basis to all payments to be made pursuant to the Priority of Payments on the Re-Pricing Date.

199

In the event any Holders of the Re-Priced Class do not deliver written consent to the proposed Re-Pricing on or before the date that is not more than 5 Business Days after such notice, the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, shall deliver written notice thereof to the consenting Holders of the Re-Priced Class, specifying the aggregate principal amount of the Debt of the Re-Priced Class held by such non-consenting Holders, and shall request each such consenting Holder provide written notice to the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Manager and the Re-Pricing Intermediary if such Holder would like to purchase all or any portion of the Debt of the Re-Priced Class held by the non-consenting Holders (each such notice, an "Exercise Notice") within five Business Days after receipt of such notice (subject to the minimum denomination and applicable procedures of DTC). In the event the Issuer shall receive Exercise Notices with respect to more than the aggregate principal amount of the Debt of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders, the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, shall cause the sale and transfer of such Debt, without further notice to the non-consenting Holders thereof (for settlement on the Re-Pricing Date) to the Holders delivering Exercise Notices with respect thereto, pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of the Debt such Holders indicated an interest in purchasing pursuant to their Exercise Notices (subject to the minimum denomination and applicable procedures of DTC). In the event the Issuer shall receive Exercise Notices with respect to less than the aggregate principal amount of the Debt of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders, the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer (subject to the minimum denomination and applicable procedures of DTC), shall cause the sale and transfer of such Debt, without further notice to the non-consenting Holders thereof, for settlement on the Re-Pricing Date to the Holders delivering Exercise Notices with respect thereto, and any excess Debt of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders shall be sold (for settlement on the Re-Pricing Date) to a transferee designated by the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer. All sales of Debt to be effected pursuant to this paragraph shall be made at a price equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Debt together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, including any Deferred Interest and any accrued and unpaid interest on such Deferred Interest, in each case after giving effect on a pro forma basis to all payments to be made pursuant to the Priority of Payments on the Re-Pricing Date, and shall be effected only if the related Re-Pricing is effected in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture described in this Section 9.8. The Holder of any Secured Debt, by its acceptance of an interest in the Secured Debt, agrees to sell and transfer its Secured Debt in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture described in this Section 9.8 and agrees to cooperate with the Issuer, the Re-Pricing Intermediary, and the Collateral Trustee to effect such sales and transfers. The Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, shall deliver written notice to the Collateral Trustee and the Collateral Manager not later than five Business Days prior to the proposed Re-Pricing Date confirming that the Issuer has received written commitments to purchase all Debt of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, such Re-Pricing will apply to all the Debt of the Re-Priced Class, including the Debt of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders.

The Issuer shall not effect any proposed Re-Pricing unless: (i) with the consent of the Majority of the Subordinated Notes, the Collateral Manager and the U.S. Retention Provider, the Issuer and the Collateral Trustee shall have entered into a supplemental indenture, dated as of the Re-Pricing Date solely to decrease the spread over the Benchmark or the fixed interest rate applicable to the Re-Priced Class; (ii) the Issuer (or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer) confirms in writing that all Debt of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders have been sold and transferred pursuant to clause (c) above; (iii) the Rating Agency shall have been notified of such Re-Pricing; (iv) all expenses of the Issuer, the Loan Agent and the Collateral Trustee (including the fees of the Re-Pricing Intermediary and fees of counsel) incurred in connection with the Re-Pricing shall not exceed the amount of Interest Proceeds available after taking into account all amounts required to be paid pursuant to the Priority of Payments on the subsequent Payment Date prior to distributions to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes, unless such expenses shall have been paid (including from proceeds of any additional issuance of Subordinated Notes) or shall be adequately provided for by an entity other than the Issuer; and (v) the Issuer has received written advice from Dechert LLP or Cadwalader, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇ LLP, or an opinion of counsel of nationally recognized standing to the effect that (A) such Re-Pricing will not result in the Issuer being treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (B) such Re-Pricing will not result in the Issuer being subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis (including any tax liability under Section 1446 of the Code).

200

Failure to give a notice of Re-Pricing, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Re-Priced Class shall not impair or affect the validity of the Re-Pricing or give rise to any claim based upon such failure or defect. Any notice of a Re-Pricing may be withdrawn by a Majority of the Subordinated Notes on or prior to the Business Day prior to the scheduled Re-Pricing Date by written notice to the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee and the Collateral Manager for any reason. Upon receipt of such notice of withdrawal, the Collateral Trustee shall send such notice to the Holders of Debt and the Rating Agency.

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

Section 9.9.            Clean-Up Call Redemption.

(a)            At the written direction of either a Majority of the Subordinated Notes or the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion (which direction shall be given so as to be received by the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Rating Agency and, in the case of such direction delivered by a Majority of the Subordinated Notes, the Collateral Manager not later than 30 days prior to the proposed Redemption Date specified in such direction), the Secured Debt will be subject to redemption by the Issuer, in whole but not in part (a "Clean-Up Call Redemption"), at the Redemption Price therefor, on any Business Day after the Non-Call Period if the Collateral Principal Amount is less than 20.0% of the Target Initial Par Amount.

201

(b)            Upon receipt of notice directing the Issuer to effect a Clean-Up Call Redemption and subject to any transfer restriction, the Issuer (or, at the written direction and expense of the Issuer, the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent on behalf of the Issuer) will offer to the Collateral Manager, the holders of the Subordinated Notes and any other Person identified by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager the right to bid to purchase the Collateral Obligations at a price not less than the Clean-Up Call Purchase Price. Any Clean-Up Call Redemption is subject to (i) the sale of the Collateral Obligations by the Issuer to the highest bidder therefor (it being understood that any such sale of Collateral Obligations may consist of multiple transactions in which Collateral Obligations are sold in groups or on an individual basis, or any combination of the two, or as an entire pool, as determined by the Collateral Manager) on or prior to the third Business Day immediately preceding the related Redemption Date, for a purchase price in cash (the "Clean-Up Call Purchase Price") payable prior to or on the Redemption Date at least equal to the greater of (1) the sum of (a) the sum of the Redemption Prices of the Secured Debt, plus (b) the aggregate of all other amounts owing by the Issuer on the date of such redemption that are payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments prior to distributions in respect of the Subordinated Notes, minus (c) all other Assets available for application in accordance with the Priority of Payments on the Redemption Date and (2) the Market Value of such Assets being purchased, and (ii) the receipt by the Collateral Trustee from the Collateral Manager, prior to such purchase, of certification from the Collateral Manager that the sum expected to be received satisfies clause (i). Upon receipt by the Collateral Trustee of the certification referred to in the preceding sentence, the Collateral Trustee (pursuant to written direction from, and at the expense of, the Issuer) and the Issuer shall take all actions necessary to sell, assign and transfer the Assets to the applicable holder of Subordinated Notes, the Collateral Manager or such other Person upon payment in immediately available funds of the Clean-Up Call Purchase Price. The Collateral Trustee shall deposit such payment into the applicable sub-account of the Collection Account in accordance with the instructions of the Collateral Manager.

(c)            Upon receipt from a Majority of the Subordinated Notes or the Collateral Manager of a direction in writing to effect a Clean-Up Call Redemption, the Issuer shall set the related Redemption Date (as specified in the direction delivered pursuant to clause (a) above) and the Record Date for any redemption pursuant to this Section 9.9 and give written notice thereof to the Collateral Trustee (which shall forward such notice to the Holders), the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Manager and the Rating Agency not later than 15 Business Days prior to the proposed Redemption Date.

(d)            Any notice of Clean-Up Call Redemption may be withdrawn by the Issuer up to two Business Days prior to the related scheduled Redemption Date by written notice to the Collateral Trustee, the Rating Agency and the Collateral Manager only if amounts equal to the Clean-Up Call Purchase Price are not received in full in immediately available funds by the third Business Day immediately preceding such Redemption Date. Notice of any such withdrawal of a notice of Clean-Up Call Redemption shall be given by the Collateral Trustee at the expense of the Issuer to each Holder of Debt to be redeemed at such Holder's address in the Register, by overnight courier guaranteeing next day delivery not later than the second Business Day prior to the related scheduled Redemption Date.

(e)            On the Redemption Date related to any Clean-Up Call Redemption, the Clean-Up Call Purchase Price shall be distributed pursuant to the Priority of Payments.

Accounts, Accountings And Releases

Section 10.1.           Collection of Money. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Collateral Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all Money and other property payable to or receivable by the Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, including all payments due on the Assets, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Assets. The Collateral Trustee shall segregate and hold all such Money and property received by it in trust for the Holders of the Debt and shall apply it as provided herein. Each Account shall be established and maintained (I) with a federal or state-chartered depository institution which has a long-term issuer rating of at least "A" and a short-term issuer rating of at least "A-1" by S&P (or a long-term issuer rating of at least "A+" by S&P if such institution has no short-term rating) or (II) in segregated trust accounts with the corporate trust department of a federal or state-chartered depository institution rated at least "BBB" by S&P and is subject to regulations regarding fiduciary funds on deposit similar to Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 9.10(b); provided that Computershare Trust Company, N.A. in its capacity as Securities Intermediary shall not be required to satisfy such rating requirement so long as the Assets credited to each Account are deposited with and held by an institution that does meet such ratings. Such institution shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$200,000,000. Each of the Accounts shall be "securities accounts" under Section 8-501(A) of the UCC and all Cash deposited in the Accounts shall be capable of being invested at the direction of the Issuer, or the Collateral Manager on its behalf, provided that all Cash deposited in the Accounts shall be invested only in Eligible Investments or Collateral Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. To avoid the consolidation of the Assets of the Issuer with the general assets of the Bank under any circumstances, the Collateral Trustee shall comply, and, if the Custodian is the Bank, shall cause the Custodian to comply, with all law applicable to it as a national bank with trust powers holding segregated trust assets in a fiduciary capacity.

(a)            If any institution described in Section 10.1(a) above falls below the requirements specified in Section 10.1(a)(I) or (II), the assets held in such Account shall be moved by the Issuer within 60 calendar days to another institution that has ratings that satisfy such requirements.

Section 10.2.           Collection Account. In accordance with this Indenture and the Securities Account Control Agreement, the Issuer shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause the Collateral Trustee to establish at the Custodian four segregated non-interest bearing trust subaccounts, one of which will be designated as the "USD Interest Collection Subaccount", one of which will be designated as the "Euro Interest Collection Subaccount", one of which will be designated as the "USD Principal Collection Subaccount" and one of which will be designated as the "Euro Principal Collection Subaccount" (and which together will comprise the Collection Account), each held in the name of the Issuer subject to the lien of the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and each of which shall be maintained by the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. The USD Interest Collection Subaccount and the Euro Interest Collection Subaccount together collectively known as the "Interest Collection Subaccount" and USD Principal Collection Subaccount and the Euro Principal Collection Subaccount together collectively known as the "Principal Collection Subaccount". The Collateral Trustee shall from time to time deposit into the Interest Collection Subaccount, in addition to the deposits required pursuant to Section 10.6(a), immediately upon receipt thereof or upon transfer from the Payment Account, all Interest Proceeds (unless simultaneously reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations in accordance with Article XII or in Eligible Investments). The Collateral Trustee shall deposit immediately upon receipt thereof or upon transfer from the Expense Reserve Account or Revolver Funding Account all other amounts remitted to the Collection Account into the Principal Collection Subaccount, including in addition to the deposits required pursuant to Section 10.6(a), (i) any funds designated as Principal Proceeds by the Collateral Manager in accordance with this Indenture and (ii) all other Principal Proceeds (unless simultaneously reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations in accordance with Article XII or in Eligible Investments). The Issuer may, but under no circumstances shall be required to, deposit from time to time into the Collection Account, in addition to any amount required hereunder to be deposited therein, such Monies received from external sources for the benefit of the Secured Parties or the Issuer (other than Contributions and payments on or in respect of the Collateral Obligations, Eligible Investments or other existing Assets) as the Issuer deems, in its sole discretion, to be advisable and to designate them as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds. All Monies deposited from time to time in the Collection Account pursuant to this Indenture shall be held by the Collateral Trustee as part of the Assets and shall be applied to the purposes herein provided. Subject to Section 10.2(d), amounts in the Collection Account shall be reinvested pursuant to Section 10.6(a). The Issuer shall direct, and hereby directs, that all amounts on deposit in the Euro Interest Collection Subaccount and the Euro Principal Subaccount shall remain uninvested.

203

(a)            The Collateral Trustee, within one Business Day after receipt of any distribution or other proceeds in respect of the Assets which are not Cash, shall so notify the Issuer and the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, within five Business Days after receipt of such notice from the Collateral Trustee (or as soon as practicable thereafter), sell such distribution or other proceeds for Cash in an arm's length transaction and deposit the proceeds thereof in the Collection Account; provided that the Issuer (i) need not sell such distributions or other proceeds if it delivers an Issuer Order or an Officer's certificate to the Collateral Trustee certifying that such distributions or other proceeds constitute Collateral Obligations, Equity Securities or Eligible Investments or (ii) may otherwise retain such distribution or other proceeds for up to two years from the date of receipt thereof if it delivers an Officer's certificate to the Collateral Trustee certifying that (x) it will sell such distribution within such two-year period and (y) retaining such distribution is not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.

(b)            At any time when reinvestment is permitted pursuant to Article XII, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may by Issuer Order direct the Collateral Trustee to, and upon receipt of such Issuer Order the Collateral Trustee shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount representing Principal Proceeds (together with any Principal Financed Accrued Interest) and reinvest such funds in additional Collateral Obligations, in each case in accordance with the requirements of Article XII and such Issuer Order and the purchase price for such Collateral Obligations (including accrued interest and other accrued amounts for such additional Collateral Obligations) may be paid on or following the settlement thereof as directed in an Issuer Order. At any time, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may by Issuer Order direct the Collateral Trustee to, and upon receipt of such Issuer Order the Collateral Trustee shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount representing Principal Proceeds and deposit such funds in the Revolver Funding Account to meet funding requirements on Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations or Revolving Collateral Obligations.

204

(c)            The Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may by Issuer Order direct the Collateral Trustee to, and upon receipt of such Issuer Order, the Collateral Trustee shall pay from amounts on deposit in the applicable Collection Account on any Business Day during any Interest Accrual Period (i) any amount required to exercise a warrant held in the Assets or any amount required to exercise a right to acquire equity securities; provided that (A) if such payment is made from Interest Proceeds, in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Manager, such payment will not cause a default or deferral in the payment, when due and payable, of any interest on any Class of Debt and (B) if such payment is made from Principal Proceeds, unless such Principal Proceeds were designated as such pursuant to a Contribution, (x) the Adjusted Collateral Principal Amount is greater than or equal to the Reinvestment Target Par Balance after giving effect to such payment, (y) each Overcollateralization Ratio Test is satisfied both prior to and after giving effect to such payment and (z) the aggregate amount of all such payments pursuant to this clause (i) does not exceed 5.0% of the Target Initial Par Amount, (ii) any amount required to acquire loan assets or debt securities in connection with the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, restructuring or workout of a Collateral Obligation or the Obligor thereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Permitted Collateral Obligation (which Permitted Collateral Obligation shall be treated as a Collateral Obligation, subject to treatment as a Defaulted Obligation in accordance with Section 12.2(j))) in accordance with such Issuer Order; provided that, so long as any Class of Debt Outstanding is rated by S&P, (A) if such payment is made from Interest Proceeds, in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Manager, such payment will not cause a default or deferral in the payment, when due and payable, of any interest on any Class of Debt, (B) if such payment is made from Principal Proceeds, unless such Principal Proceeds were designated as such pursuant to a Contribution, (x) the Adjusted Collateral Principal Amount is greater than or equal to the Reinvestment Target Par Balance after giving effect to such payment, (y) each Overcollateralization Ratio Test is satisfied after giving effect to such payment and (z) the aggregate amount of all such payments since the Closing Date pursuant to this clause (ii) does not exceed 5.0% of the Target Initial Par Amount and (C) notice thereof is provided to the Rating Agency, (iii) any amount required to make customary protective advances or provide customary indemnities to the agent of the Collateral Obligation (for which the Issuer may receive a participation interest or other right of repayment) as may be required by the Issuer as a lender under the Underlying Instruments and (iv) from Interest Proceeds only, any Administrative Expenses (such payments to be counted against the Administrative Expense Cap for the applicable period and to be subject to the order of priority as stated in the definition of Administrative Expenses); provided that the aggregate Administrative Expenses paid pursuant to this Section 10.2(d) during any Collection Period shall not exceed the Administrative Expense Cap for the related Payment Date; provided further that the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled (but not required) without liability on its part, to refrain from making any such payment of an Administrative Expense pursuant to this Section 10.2 on any day other than a Payment Date if, in its reasonable determination, the payment of such amount is likely to leave insufficient funds available to pay in full each of the items described in Section 11.1(a)(i)(A) as reasonably anticipated to be or become due and payable on the next Payment Date, taking into account the Administrative Expense Cap.

205

(d)            The Collateral Trustee shall transfer to the Payment Account, from the Collection Account for application pursuant to Section 11.1(a), on the Business Day immediately preceding each Payment Date and on any Redemption Date or Redemption Distribution Date and, in the case of proceeds received in connection with a Refinancing of the Secured Debt in whole, on the date of receipt thereof, the amount set forth to be so transferred in the Distribution Report for such Payment Date or the Redemption Distribution Direction for such Redemption Distribution Date.

(e)            The Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may by Issuer Order direct the Collateral Trustee to, and upon receipt of such Issuer Order the Collateral Trustee shall (i) transfer amounts from the Interest Collection Subaccount to the Principal Collection Subaccount, amounts necessary for application pursuant to Section 7.18(d) and/or (ii) apply amounts in the Principal Collection Subaccount to the purchase or repayment of Secured Debt pursuant to Section 9.7.

(f)             In connection with a Refinancing or Re-Pricing of one or more Classes of Secured Debt, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may direct the Collateral Trustee to apply Available Interest Proceeds from the Interest Collection Subaccount on the date of such Refinancing or Re-Pricing, as applicable, to the payment of the Redemption Price(s) of the Class or Classes of Secured Debt subject to Refinancing, as applicable, and the fees and expenses related to such Refinancing or Re-Pricing, in each case, without regard to the Priority of Payments.

(g)            From time to time on or prior to the Determination Date related to the second Payment Date after the Closing Date, the Collateral Manager may (with notice to the Collateral Trustee and the Collateral Administrator), designate Principal Proceeds received by the Issuer as Interest Proceeds (Principal Proceeds so designated as Interest Proceeds, "Designated Principal Proceeds"), so long as, after giving effect to such designation (together with the designation of Designated Unused Proceeds as Interest Proceeds), the Effective Date Interest Deposit Restriction will be satisfied.

Section 10.3.          Transaction Accounts.

(a)            Payment Account. In accordance with this Indenture and the Securities Account Control Agreement, the Issuer shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause the Collateral Trustee to establish at the Custodian a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account held in the name of the Issuer subject to the lien of the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated as the Payment Account, which shall be maintained by the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. Except as provided in Section 11.1(a), the only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Payment Account shall be to pay amounts due and payable on the Debt in accordance with their terms and the provisions of this Indenture and, upon Issuer Order, to pay Administrative Expenses, fees and other amounts due and owing to the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement and other amounts specified herein, each in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Issuer shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Payment Account other than in accordance with this Indenture (including the Priority of Payments) and the Securities Account Control Agreement. The Issuer shall direct, and hereby directs, that all amounts in the Payment Account shall remain uninvested.

206

In accordance with this Indenture and the Securities Account Control Agreement, the Issuer shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause the Collateral Trustee to establish at the Custodian two, segregated non-interest bearing trust accounts held in the name of the Issuer subject to the lien of the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, one of which shall be designated as the "USD Custodial Subaccount" and one of which shall be designated as the "Euro Custodial Subaccount" (collectively, the "Custodial Account") each of which shall be maintained by the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. All Collateral Obligations shall be credited to the Custodial Account. The only permitted withdrawals from the Custodial Account shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. The Collateral Trustee agrees to give the Issuer immediate notice if (to the actual knowledge of a Bank Officer of the Collateral Trustee) the Custodial Account or any assets or securities on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Custodial Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. The Issuer shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Custodial Account other than in accordance with this Indenture and the Priority of Payments. The Issuer shall direct, and hereby directs, that all amounts in the Custodial Account shall remain uninvested.

(c)            Ramp-Up Account. In accordance with this Indenture and the Securities Account Control Agreement, the Issuer shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause the Collateral Trustee to establish at the Custodian a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account held in the name of the Issuer subject to the lien of the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated as the Ramp-Up Account, which shall be maintained by the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. The Issuer shall direct the Collateral Trustee to deposit U.S.$160,590,909.88 to the Ramp-Up Account on the Closing Date. In connection with any purchase of an additional Collateral Obligation, the Collateral Trustee will apply amounts held in the Ramp-Up Account as provided by Section 7.18(b). On the Effective Date or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (and excluding any proceeds that will be used to settle binding commitments entered into prior to such date), the Collateral Trustee will deposit any remaining amounts in the Ramp-Up Account into the Principal Collection Subaccount as Principal Proceeds. After the Effective Date and on or prior to the Determination Date related to the second Payment Date after the Closing Date (so long as the Target Initial Par Condition has been satisfied, and with respect to any distribution in connection with clause (b) below, is satisfied on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such distribution, and a Special Redemption was not required and excluding any proceeds that will be used to settle binding commitments entered into prior to that date), (a) at the direction of the Collateral Manager the Collateral Trustee will deposit any remaining amounts in the Ramp-Up Account into the Principal Collection Subaccount as Principal Proceeds (except as provided in clause (b) below) and (b) the Collateral Manager may designate any remaining amounts in the Ramp-Up Account as Interest Proceeds to be deposited into the Interest Collection Subaccount (amounts so designated as Interest Proceeds, "Designated Unused Proceeds"), so long as, after giving effect to such designation, (i) the aggregate amount of Designated Principal Proceeds and Designated Unused Proceeds does not exceed 1.0% of the Target Initial Par Amount, (ii) the Adjusted Collateral Principal Amount is greater than or equal to the Target Initial Par Amount and (iii) each Coverage Test is satisfied, (iv) the Concentration Limitations are satisfied and (v) each Collateral Quality Test is satisfied (such requirements, the "Effective Date Interest Deposit Restriction").

The Issuer shall direct the Collateral Trustee to deposit U.S.$2,559,735.05 to the Expense Reserve Account. On any Business Day from the Closing Date to and including the Determination Date relating to the first Payment Date following the Closing Date, the Collateral Trustee shall apply funds from the Expense Reserve Account, as directed by the Collateral Manager, to pay expenses of the Issuer incurred in connection with the formation of the Issuer, the structuring and consummation of the Offering and the issuance and incurrence of the Debt or to the Collection Account as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds. By the Determination Date relating to the first Payment Date following the Closing Date, all funds in the Expense Reserve Account (after deducting any expenses paid on such Determination Date) will be deposited in the Collection Account as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds, as designated by the Collateral Manager, and the Expense Reserve Account will be closed. Any income earned on amounts deposited in the Expense Reserve Account will be deposited in the Interest Collection Subaccount as Interest Proceeds as it is received.

(e)            Supplemental Reserve Account. In accordance with this Indenture and the Securities Account Control Agreement, the Issuer shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause the Collateral Trustee to establish at the Custodian two, segregated non-interest bearing trust accounts held in the name of the Issuer subject to the lien of the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, one of which shall be designated as the "USD Supplemental Reserve Subaccount" and one of which shall be designated as the "Euro Supplemental Reserve Subaccount" (collectively, the "Supplemental Reserve Account") which shall be held by the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. Contributions of Cash or Eligible Investments, any amounts in connection with an additional issuance of Subordinated Notes only and amounts designated for deposit into the Supplemental Reserve Account pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i)(K) will be deposited into the applicable Supplemental Reserve Account and transferred to the Collection Account at the written direction of the Collateral Manager to the Collateral Trustee for a Permitted Use designated by the applicable Contributor or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, in such written direction. The Issuer shall direct, and hereby directs, that all amounts on deposit in the Euro Supplemental Reserve Subaccount shall remain uninvested.

208

(f)             Interest Reserve Account. In accordance with this Indenture and the Securities Account Control Agreement, the Issuer shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, cause the Collateral Trustee to establish a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account in the name of the Issuer subject to the lien of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which will be designated as the "Interest Reserve Account." On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall direct the Collateral Trustee to deposit an amount equal to the Interest Reserve Amount into the Interest Reserve Account. On the Determination Date relating to the first Payment Date after the Closing Date, the Issuer, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, may direct that any remaining amounts in the Interest Reserve Account be transferred to the Collection Account and included as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds on such Payment Date. On the Business Day immediately preceding the first Payment Date after the Closing Date, all amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account will be transferred to the Payment Account and applied as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds (as directed by the Collateral Manager) in accordance with the Priority of Payments on such Payment Date, and the Collateral Trustee will close the Interest Reserve Account. Prior to the closing of the Interest Reserve Account, any income earned on amounts deposited in the Interest Reserve Account will be deposited in the Interest Collection Subaccount as Interest Proceeds as it is paid.

Section 10.4.           The Revolver Funding Account. Upon the purchase or acquisition of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation or upon the acquisition of an Equity Security that requires future funding commitments, in each case, identified by written notice to the Collateral Trustee, funds in an amount equal to the undrawn portion of such obligation shall be withdrawn at the direction of the Collateral Manager first from the Ramp-Up Account and, if necessary, from the Principal Collection Subaccount and deposited by the Collateral Trustee in two, segregated non-interest bearing trust accounts established (in accordance with this Indenture and the Securities Account Control Agreement) at the Custodian and held in the name of the Issuer subject to the lien of the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, one of which shall be designated the "USD Revolver Funding Subaccount" and one of which shall be designated the "Euro Revolver Funding Account" (collectively, the "Revolver Funding Account"). Upon initial purchase or acquisition of any such obligations, funds deposited in the Revolver Funding Account in respect of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation will be treated as part of the purchase price therefor. For the avoidance of doubt, amounts deposited in the applicable Revolver Funding Account shall be in the same Eligible Currency of the respective Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation, Revolving Collateral Obligation or Equity Security. Amounts on deposit in the USD Revolver Funding Subaccount will be invested in the Standby Directed Investment or such other Eligible Investments as subsequently directed by the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer, including following the occurrence of an Event of Default) in writing and earnings from all such investments will be deposited in the Interest Collection Subaccount as Interest Proceeds. The Issuer shall direct, and hereby directs, that all amounts on deposit in the Euro Revolving Funding Subaccount shall remain uninvested.

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

209

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

Section 10.5.           Ownership of the Accounts. For the avoidance of doubt, the Accounts (including income, if any, earned on the investments of funds in such account) will be owned by the Issuer, for federal income tax purposes. The Issuer is required to provide to the Collateral Trustee (i) an IRS Form W-9 no later than the Closing Date, and (ii) any additional IRS forms (or updated versions of any previously submitted IRS forms) or other documentation upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Trustee as may be necessary (i) to reduce or eliminate the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes and (ii) to permit the Collateral Trustee to fulfill its tax reporting obligations under applicable law with respect to the Accounts or any amounts paid to the Issuer. If any IRS form or other documentation previously delivered becomes inaccurate in any respect, the Issuer shall timely provide to the Collateral Trustee accurately updated and complete versions of such IRS forms or other documentation. The Bank, both in its individual capacity and in its capacity as Collateral Trustee, shall have no liability to the Issuer or any other person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid or withheld from the Accounts pursuant to applicable law arising from the Issuer's failure to timely provide an accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, no funds shall be invested with respect to such Accounts absent the Collateral Trustee having first received (i) the requisite written investment direction with respect to the investment of such funds, and (ii) the IRS forms and other documentation required by this paragraph.

(a)            The Collateral Trustee agrees to give the Issuer immediate notice if any Account or any funds on deposit in any Account, or otherwise to the credit of an Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process.

Section 10.12.        Section 3(c)(7) Procedures. For so long as any Debt is Outstanding, the Issuer shall do the following:

(a)            Notification. Each Monthly Report sent or caused to be sent by the Issuer to the Holders will include a notice to the following effect:

"The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), requires that all holders of the outstanding securities of the Issuer that are U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S) be "Qualified Purchasers" ("Qualified Purchasers") as defined in Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the 1940 Act and related rules. Under the rules, the Issuer must have a "reasonable belief" that all holders of its outstanding securities that are "U.S. persons" (as defined in Regulation S), including transferees, are Qualified Purchasers. Consequently, all sales and resales of the Notes in the United States or to "U.S. persons" (as defined in Regulation S) must be made solely to purchasers that are Qualified Purchasers. Each purchaser of Secured Notes in the United States who is a "U.S. person" (as defined in Regulation S) (such Note a "Restricted Secured Note") will be deemed (or required, as the case may be) to represent at the time of purchase that: (i) the purchaser is a Qualified Purchaser who is either (x) an institutional accredited investor ("IAI") within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or (y) a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("QIB"); (ii) the purchaser is acting for its own account or the account of another Qualified Purchaser and QIB/IAI (as applicable); (iii) the purchaser is not formed for the purpose of investing in the Issuer; (iv) the purchaser, and each account for which it is purchasing, will hold and transfer at least the minimum denominations of the Notes specified herein; (v) the purchaser understands that the Issuer may receive a list of participants holding positions in securities from one or more book-entry depositories; and (vi) the purchaser will provide written notice of the foregoing, and of any applicable restrictions on transfer, to any subsequent transferees. The Restricted Secured Notes may only be transferred to another Qualified Purchaser and QIB/IAI (as applicable) and all subsequent transferees are deemed to have made representations (i) through (vi) above. Each purchaser of a Subordinated Note in the United States who is a "U.S. person" (as defined in Regulation S) (such Note a "Restricted Subordinated Note") will be required to represent at the time of purchase that: (a) the purchaser is a Qualified Purchaser who is either (x) an accredited investor ("AI") within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act or (y) a QIB; (b) the purchaser is acting for its own account or the account of another Qualified Purchaser and QIB/AI (as applicable); (c) the purchaser is not formed for the purpose of investing in the Issuer; (d) the purchaser, and each account for which it is purchasing, will hold and transfer at least the minimum denominations of the Notes specified herein; (e) the purchaser understands that the Issuer may receive a list of participants holding positions in securities from one or more book-entry depositories; and (f) the purchaser will provide written notice of the foregoing, and of any applicable restrictions on transfer, to any subsequent transferees. The Restricted Subordinated Notes may only be transferred to another Qualified Purchaser and QIB/AI (as applicable) and all subsequent transferees are deemed to have made representations (a) through (f) above."

"The Issuer directs that the recipient of this notice, and any recipient of a copy of this notice, provide a copy to any Person having an interest in this Note as indicated on the books of DTC or on the books of a participant in DTC or on the books of an indirect participant for which such participant in DTC acts as agent."

224

"The Indenture provides that if, notwithstanding the restrictions on transfer contained therein, the Issuer determines that any holder of, or beneficial owner of an interest in a Restricted Secured Note or a Restricted Subordinated Note is a "U.S. person" (as defined in Regulation S) who is determined not to have been a Qualified Purchaser at the time of acquisition of such Restricted Secured Note or Restricted Subordinated Note, as applicable, or beneficial interest therein, the Issuer may require, by notice to such Holder or beneficial owner, that such Holder or beneficial owner sell all of its right, title and interest to such Restricted Secured Note or Restricted Subordinated Note, as applicable, (or any interest therein) to a Person that is either (x) in the case of the Secured Notes, not a "U.S. person" (as defined in Regulation S) or (y) a Qualified Purchaser who is either an IAI (or, in the case of the Subordinated Notes, another AI) or a QIB (as applicable), with such sale to be effected within 30 days after notice of such sale requirement is given. If such holder or beneficial owner fails to effect the transfer required within such 30-day period, (i) the Issuer or the Collateral Manager acting for the Issuer, without further notice to such holder, shall and is hereby irrevocably authorized by such holder or beneficial owner, to cause its Restricted Secured Note or Restricted Subordinated Note, as applicable, or beneficial interest therein to be transferred in a commercially reasonable sale (conducted by the Collateral Manager in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York as applied to securities that are sold on a recognized market or that may decline speedily in value) to a Person that certifies to the Collateral Trustee, the Issuer and the Collateral Manager, in connection with such transfer, that such Person meets the qualifications set forth in clauses (x) and (y) above and (ii) pending such transfer, no further payments will be made in respect of such Restricted Secured Note or Restricted Subordinated Note, as applicable, or beneficial interest therein held by such holder or beneficial owner."

(b)            DTC Actions. The Issuer will direct DTC to take the following steps in connection with the Global Secured Notes:

(i)            The Issuer will direct DTC to include the marker "3c7" in the DTC 20-character security descriptor and the 48-character additional descriptor for the Global Secured Notes in order to indicate that sales are limited to Qualified Purchasers.

(ii)            The Issuer will direct DTC to cause each physical deliver order ticket that is delivered by DTC to purchasers to contain the 20-character security descriptor. The Issuer will direct DTC to cause each deliver order ticket that is delivered by DTC to purchasers in electronic form to contain a "3c7" indicator and a related user manual for participants. Such user manual will contain a description of the relevant restrictions imposed by Section 3(c)(7).

(iii)          On or prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer will instruct DTC to send a Section 3(c)(7) Notice to all DTC participants in connection with the offering of the Global Secured Notes.

(iv)          In addition to the obligations of the Registrar set forth in Section 2.5, the Issuer will from time to time (upon the request of the Collateral Trustee) make a request to DTC to deliver to the Issuer a list of all DTC participants holding an interest in the Global Secured Notes.

(v)           The Issuer will cause each CUSIP number obtained for a Global Note to have a fixed field containing "3c7" and "144A" indicators, as applicable, attached to such CUSIP number.

225

(c)            Bloomberg Screens, Etc. The Issuer will from time to time request all third-party vendors to include on screens maintained by such vendors appropriate legends regarding Rule 144A and Section 3(c)(7) under the 1940 Act restrictions on the Global Secured Notes. Without limiting the foregoing, the Initial Purchaser will request that each third-party vendor include the following legends on each screen containing information about the Notes:

(i)            Bloomberg.

(4)            a statement on the "Disclaimer" page for the Global Secured Notes that the Notes will not be and have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that the Issuer has not been registered under the 1940 Act, as amended, and that the Global Secured Notes may only be offered or sold in accordance with Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act, as amended.

(ii)           Reuters.

(1)            a "144A – 3c7" notation included in the security name field at the top of the Reuters Instrument Code screen;

Section 10.13.        No Further Reporting Following the Redemption of the Secured Debt. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, except with respect to (i) Section 4.1 or the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and (ii) if at such time 100% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Subordinated Notes are not owned by the BDC or any Affiliate thereof, Article VIII, from and after the date on which no Secured Debt is deemed or considered Outstanding, all requirements herein that the Issuer, Collateral Manager or Collateral Trustee deliver or cause to be delivered any reports, compliance certificates or opinions to any party shall be deemed deleted and have no further force or effect.

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that on any Redemption Distribution Date the Collateral Manager does not direct any payments to be made pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i), no payments will be required to be made pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(ii)(A) -(F).

(iii)           Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing Sections 11.1(a)(i) and 11.1(a)(ii) (other than the last paragraph thereof), on (x) any Stated Maturity, (y) on a Redemption Date occurring with respect to a Failed Optional Redemption, or (z) if the maturity of the Secured Debt has been accelerated following an Event of Default and has not been rescinded in accordance with the terms herein (clause (z), an "Enforcement Event"), pursuant to Section 5.7, proceeds in respect of the Assets will be applied at the date or dates fixed by the Collateral Trustee in the following order of priority:

(A)          to the payment of (1) first, taxes, registered office fees and governmental fees owing by the Issuer, if any, and (2) second, the accrued and unpaid Administrative Expenses, in the priority stated in the definition thereof, up to the Administrative Expense Cap (provided that if a liquidation of the Assets has commenced, the Administrative Expense Cap shall not apply);

(B)           to the payment of the Aggregate Collateral Management Fee due and payable (including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) to the Collateral Manager until such amount has been paid in full, other than any Cumulative Deferred Management Fee, to the extent not already paid;

(D)           to the payment of principal of the Class A-1L-1 Loans, the Class A-1L-2 Loans and the Class A-1 Notes, allocated pro rata in proportion to their respective Aggregate Outstanding Amounts, until the Class A-1 Debt has been paid in full;

(E)           to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest (including defaulted interest and interest thereon) on the Class A-2L Loans and the Class A-2 Notes, allocated pro rata in proportion to the amounts of accrued and unpaid interest (including defaulted interest and interest thereon) payable on such Class;

231

(F)            to the payment of principal of the Class A-2L Loans and the Class A-2 Notes, allocated pro rata in proportion to their respective Aggregate Outstanding Amounts, until the Class A-2 Debt has been paid in full;

(G)            to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest (including defaulted interest and interest thereon) on the Class ▇-▇ Loans and the Class B Notes, allocated pro rata in proportion to the amounts of accrued and unpaid interest (including defaulted interest and interest thereon) payable on such Class;

(H)           to the payment of principal of the Class ▇-▇ Loans and the Class B Notes, allocated pro rata in proportion to their respective Aggregate Outstanding Amounts, until the Class B Debt has been paid in full;

(I)            to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest (excluding Deferred Interest but including interest on Deferred Interest) on the Class C Notes;

(J)            to the payment of any Deferred Interest on the Class C Notes;

(K)           to the payment of principal of the Class C Notes, until the Class C Notes have been paid in full;

(L)            to the payment of (in the same manner and order of priority stated therein) any Administrative Expenses not paid pursuant to clause (A)(2) above due to the limitation contained therein;

(M)          any Cumulative Deferred Management Fee to the extent not already paid; and

(N)           to pay the balance to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes.

If any declaration of acceleration has been rescinded in accordance with the provisions herein, proceeds in respect of the Assets will be applied in accordance with Section 11.1(a)(i) or (ii), as applicable.

(b)           If on any Payment Date the amount available in the Payment Account is insufficient to make the full amount of the disbursements required by the Distribution Report, the Collateral Trustee shall make the disbursements called for in the order and according to the priority set forth under Section 11.1(a) above, subject to Section 13.1, to the extent funds are available therefor.

(c)           In connection with the application of funds to pay Administrative Expenses of the Issuer in accordance with Section 11.1(a)(i), Section 11.1(a)(ii) and Section 11.1(a)(iii), the Collateral Trustee shall remit such funds, to the extent available (and subject to the order of priority set forth in the definition of "Administrative Expenses"), as directed and designated in an Issuer Order (which may be in the form of standing instructions, including standing instructions to pay Administrative Expenses in such amounts and to such entities as indicated in the Distribution Report in respect of such Payment Date) delivered to the Collateral Trustee no later than the Business Day prior to each Payment Date.

232

(d)           The Collateral Manager may, in its sole discretion, elect to irrevocably waive payment of any or all of any Collateral Management Fee otherwise due on any Payment Date by notice to the Issuer, the Collateral Administrator, the Loan Agent and the Collateral Trustee no later than the Determination Date immediately prior to such Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Section 8(c) of the Collateral Management Agreement. Any such Collateral Management Fee, once waived, shall not thereafter become due and payable and any claim of the Collateral Manager therein shall be extinguished.

(e)           At any time during or after the Reinvestment Period, any Holder of Subordinated Notes may (i) make a Contribution of Cash, Eligible Investments or Collateral Obligations or (ii) solely in the case of Certificated Subordinated Notes, in accordance with Section 8.3(j), designate any portion of Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds that would otherwise be distributed on its Subordinated Notes in accordance with Section 11.1(a)(i)(L) or Section 11.1(a)(ii)(K), to be a contribution to the Issuer (a "Contribution" and each such Person, a "Contributor"); provided that no individual Contribution made pursuant to clause (i) of the definition thereof (treating all Contributions made on the same Business Day as a single Contribution) may be in an amount less than U.S.$500,000 (except (x) in the case of Contributions designated for use in accordance with clause (iii) of the definition of "Permitted Use" or (y) with the consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class); provided further that a Notice of Contribution in the form of Exhibit E is provided. The Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, may accept or reject any Contribution in its sole discretion and shall notify the Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent and the Collateral Administrator of any such acceptance. Each accepted Contribution of Cash or Eligible Investments shall be deposited into the Supplemental Reserve Account and may be withdrawn at the written direction of the Collateral Manager. Contributions of Cash or Eligible Investments may only be used for a Permitted Use or Permitted Uses as directed by the applicable Contributor at the time such Contribution is made, so long as the Collateral Manager consents to such Permitted Use(s) (or, if no direction is given by the Contributor, at the Collateral Manager's reasonable discretion). No Contribution of Cash or Eligible Investments or portion thereof will be returned to any applicable holder of Subordinated Notes at any time. From time to time after the Closing Date, the U.S. Retention Provider may make Contributions or transfers of cash, Eligible Investments or Collateral Obligations, or any combination thereof, either directly or through one or more intermediate Related Entities or Affiliates, to the Issuer. For administrative convenience, any Contributions or transfers of Cash, Eligible Investments or Collateral Obligations made through one or more intermediate related entities or Affiliates of the U.S. Retention Provider may instead be made directly into the Issuer, and by bypassing such intermediate related entity or Affiliate. The value received by the Issuer in Cash, Eligible Investments and/or in the form of Collateral Obligations will not be affected by the elimination of such intermediate steps. In the case of any such payment made to the Issuer in the form of a combination of Cash and Collateral Obligations, the Cash portion of such payment shall be an amount equal to the total payment required to be made to the Issuer reduced by an amount equal to the fair market value as determined by the Collateral Manager as of the date of Contribution of the Collateral Obligations and Eligible Investments Contributed or transferred to the Issuer in respect of such payment.

233

(f)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, from and after the date on which no Secured Debt is deemed or considered to be Outstanding, (i) by 12:00 PM New York time, upon three Business Days prior notice to the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent, the Collateral Manager may designate any Business Day as a "Payment Date" for purposes of this Section 11.1 and distribute any Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds in accordance with the Priority of Payments and (ii) no further Monthly Reports or Distribution Reports shall be required to be prepared.

ARTICLE XII.

PURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL OBLIGATIONS

Section 12.1.          Sales of Collateral Obligations. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 12.3, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may (except as otherwise specified in this Section 12.1) direct the Collateral Trustee to sell and the Collateral Trustee shall sell on behalf of the Issuer in the manner directed by the Collateral Manager any Collateral Obligation or Equity Security if, as certified by the Collateral Manager (which certification shall be deemed to be provided upon delivery of an Issuer Order or trade confirmation in respect of such sale), such sale meets the requirements of any one of paragraphs (a) through (l) of this Section 12.1 (subject in each case to any applicable requirement of disposition under Section 12.1(h) and provided that if an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Manager may not direct the Collateral Trustee to sell any Collateral Obligation or Equity Security pursuant to Section 12.1(e), Section 12.1(f) or Section 12.1(g)). For purposes of this Section 12.1, the Sale Proceeds of a Collateral Obligation sold by the Issuer shall include any Principal Financed Accrued Interest received in respect of such sale.

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

(b)           Credit Improved Obligations. The Collateral Manager may direct the Collateral Trustee to sell any Credit Improved Obligation at any time without restriction.

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

(d)           Equity Securities. The Collateral Manager may direct the Collateral Trustee to sell any Equity Security at any time without restriction and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the sale of any Equity Security, regardless of price within 45 days after receipt, if such Equity Security constitutes Margin Stock, unless such sale is prohibited by applicable law, in which case such Equity Security shall be sold as soon as such sale is permitted by applicable law.

234

(e)            Optional Redemption. After the Issuer has notified the Collateral Trustee of an Optional Redemption of the Debt in accordance with Section 9.2, if necessary to effect such Optional Redemption, the Collateral Manager shall direct the Collateral Trustee to sell (which sale may be through participation or other arrangement) all or a portion of the Collateral Obligations if the requirements of Article IX (including the certification requirements of Section 9.4(e)(ii), if applicable) are satisfied. If any such sale is made through participations, the Issuer shall use reasonable efforts to cause such participations to be converted to assignments within six months after the sale.

(f)            Tax Redemption. After a Majority of an Affected Class or a Majority of the Subordinated Notes has directed (by a written direction delivered to the Collateral Trustee) a Tax Redemption, the Collateral Manager shall, if necessary to effect such Tax Redemption, direct the Collateral Trustee to sell (which sale may be through participation or other arrangement) of all or a portion of the Collateral Obligations if the requirements of Article IX (including the certification requirements of Section 9.4(e)(ii), if applicable) are satisfied. If any such sale is made through participations, the Issuer shall use reasonable efforts to cause such participations to be converted to assignments within six months after the sale.

(g)           Discretionary Sales. During the Reinvestment Period, the Collateral Manager may direct the Collateral Trustee to sell any Collateral Obligation at any time other than during a Restricted Trading Period if, commencing with the first calendar year after the Closing Date, total sales pursuant to this Section 12.1(g) (measured by the par amount of all Collateral Obligations disposed of) during the preceding 12-month period do not exceed (i) during the first calendar year following the Closing Date, 40% of the Collateral Principal Amount and (ii) thereafter, 30% of the Collateral Principal Amount (in each case, measured as of the first day of such 12-month period); provided that for purposes of determining the percentage of Collateral Obligations sold pursuant to this Section 12.1(g) during any such period, the amount of Collateral Obligations so sold shall be reduced to the extent of any purchases of (or irrevocable commitments to purchase) Collateral Obligations of the same Obligor (which are pari passu or senior to such sold Collateral Obligations) occurring within 45 Business Days of such sale, so long as any such sale pursuant to this Section 12.1(g) of a Collateral Obligation was entered into with the intention of purchasing such Collateral Obligations of the same Obligor.

(h)           Mandatory Sales. The Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the sale of any Collateral Obligation that (i) no longer meets the criteria described in clause (ix) of the definition of "Collateral Obligation", within 18 months after the failure of such Collateral Obligation to meet any such criteria and (ii) no longer meets the criteria described in clause (viii) of the definition of "Collateral Obligation" within 45 days after the failure of such Collateral Obligation to meet either such criteria.

235

(i)            Unsaleable Assets. After the Reinvestment Period:

(i)            Notwithstanding any other restriction in this Section 12.1, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall conduct an auction of Unsaleable Assets in accordance with the procedures described in clause (ii). The Collateral Trustee may retain an agent to perform the obligations set forth in this Section 12.1(i).

(ii)            Promptly after receipt of written notice from the Collateral Manager of an auction of Unsaleable Assets, the Collateral Trustee will forward a notice in the Issuer's name (prepared by the Collateral Manager) to the Holders and the Rating Agency, setting forth in reasonable detail a description of each Unsaleable Asset and the following auction procedures:

(A)           Any Holder may submit a written bid to purchase one or more Unsaleable Assets no later than the date specified in the auction notice (which shall be at least 15 Business Days after the date of such notice).

(B)           Each bid must include an offer to purchase for a specified amount of cash on a proposed settlement date no later than 20 Business Days after the date of the auction notice.

(C)            If no Holder submits such a bid, unless delivery in kind is not legally or commercially practicable and subject to any transfer restrictions (including minimum denominations), the Collateral Trustee shall provide notice thereof to each Holder and offer to deliver (at no cost to the Collateral Trustee or Holder) a pro rata portion of each unsold Unsaleable Asset to the Holders of the Class with the highest priority that provide delivery instructions to the Collateral Trustee on or before the date specified in such notice. To the extent that minimum denominations do not permit a pro rata distribution, the Collateral Trustee shall distribute the Unsaleable Assets on a pro rata basis to the extent possible and the Issuer or the Collateral Manager shall select by lottery the Holder to whom the remaining amount will be delivered. The Issuer and the Collateral Trustee (at the direction of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect delivery of such interests.

(D)           If no such Holder provides delivery instructions to the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Trustee shall promptly notify the Collateral Manager and offer to deliver (at no cost to the Collateral Trustee) the Unsaleable Asset to the Collateral Manager. If the Collateral Manager declines such offer, the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer) shall direct action to dispose of the Unsaleable Asset, which may be by donation to a charity, abandonment or other means, and the Collateral Trustee (at no expense to the Collateral Trustee) shall take such action as so directed.

236

(E)            The Collateral Trustee shall have no duty, obligation or responsibility with respect to the sale of any Unsaleable Asset other than upon the instruction of the Collateral Manager.

(j)            The Collateral Manager may direct the Collateral Trustee at any time without restriction to sell any Collateral Obligation that (i) has a Material Covenant Default or (ii) becomes subject to a Maturity Amendment or a proposed Maturity Amendment.

(k)            After the Collateral Manager has notified the Issuer and the Collateral Trustee of a Clean-Up Call Redemption in accordance with Section ‎9.9, the Collateral Obligations may be sold in accordance with the provisions of Section ‎9.9 without regard to the limitations in this Section ‎12.1 by directing the Collateral Trustee to effect such sale; provided that the Sale Proceeds therefrom are used for the purposes specified in Section ‎9.9 (and applied pursuant to the Priority of Payments).

Section 12.2.          Purchase of Additional Collateral Obligations. On any date during the Reinvestment Period, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may, subject to the other requirements in this Indenture, direct the Collateral Trustee to invest Principal Proceeds, proceeds of Additional Debt issued or incurred pursuant to Sections 2.13 and 3.2, amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account and the Supplemental Reserve Account and Principal Financed Accrued Interest, and the Collateral Trustee shall invest such Principal Proceeds and other amounts in accordance with such direction. After the Reinvestment Period, the Collateral Manager shall not direct the Collateral Trustee to invest any amounts on behalf of the Issuer; provided that cash on deposit in any Account (other than the Euro Interest Collection Subaccount, the Euro Principal Collection Subaccount, the Euro Revolver Funding Subaccount, the Euro Supplemental Reserve Subaccount, the Payment Account and the Custodial Account) may be invested in Eligible Investments following the Reinvestment Period.

(a)           Investment during the Reinvestment Period. During the Reinvestment Period, no obligation may be purchased by the Issuer unless each of the following criteria is satisfied as of the date the Collateral Manager commits on behalf of the Issuer to make such purchase, in each case as determined by the Collateral Manager after giving effect to such purchase and all other sales or purchases previously or simultaneously committed to (such criteria collectively, the "Investment Criteria"); provided that the criteria set forth in clauses (ii) and (iv) below need only be satisfied with respect to purchases of Collateral Obligations occurring on or after the Effective Date:

(i)            such obligation is a Collateral Obligation;

(ii)           each Coverage Test will be satisfied, or if not satisfied, such Coverage Test will be maintained or improved;

237

(iii)           (I) in the case of an additional Collateral Obligation purchased with the proceeds from the sale of a Credit Risk Obligation or a Defaulted Obligation, either (1) the Aggregate Principal Balance of all additional Collateral Obligations purchased with the proceeds from such sale will at least equal the Sale Proceeds from such sale or (2) the Reinvestment Balance Criteria will be satisfied, (II) in the case of the use of Sale Proceeds of Credit Improved Obligations, either (1) the Investment Criteria Adjusted Balance of all Collateral Obligations purchased with such Sale Proceeds will be greater than or equal to the Investment Criteria Adjusted Balance of the disposed Collateral Obligations, (2) after giving effect to such purchase, the Adjusted Collateral Principal Amount will be maintained or increased (when compared to the Adjusted Collateral Principal Amount immediately prior to such sale) or (3) after giving effect to such reinvestment of such Sale Proceeds, the Adjusted Collateral Principal Amount will be greater than (or equal to) the Reinvestment Target Par Balance and (III) in the case of any other purchase of additional Collateral Obligations purchased with the proceeds from the sale of any other Collateral Obligation, the Collateral Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that after giving effect to such purchase, the Reinvestment Balance Criteria will be satisfied;

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

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

If the Issuer has entered into a written trade ticket or other written binding commitment to purchase a Collateral Obligation during the Reinvestment Period which purchase is not scheduled to settle prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period (such Collateral Obligation, a "Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligation"), such Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligation shall be treated as having been purchased by the Issuer prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period for purposes of the Investment Criteria, and Principal ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ received after the end of the Reinvestment Period may be applied to the payment of the purchase price of such Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligation. Not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the end of the Reinvestment Period, the Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Collateral Trustee a schedule of Collateral Obligations purchased by the Issuer with respect to which purchases the trade date has occurred but the settlement date has not yet occurred and shall certify to the Collateral Trustee (which certification will be deemed to be made upon delivery of such schedule) that sufficient Principal Proceeds are available (including for this purpose, cash on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount as well as any Principal Proceeds that will be received by the Issuer from the sale of Collateral Obligations for which the trade date has already occurred but the settlement date has not yet occurred) to effect the settlement of such Collateral Obligations.

238

(b)           Trading Plan Period. During the Reinvestment Period and for purposes of calculating compliance with the Investment Criteria, at the election of the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion, any proposed investment (whether a single Collateral Obligation or a group of Collateral Obligations) identified by the Collateral Manager as such at the time when compliance with the Investment Criteria is required to be calculated (a "Trading Plan") may be evaluated after giving effect to any expected prepayments on Collateral Obligations included in such Trading Plan and all sales and reinvestments proposed to be entered into, in each case, within the ten Business Days following the date of determination of such compliance (such period, the "Trading Plan Period"); provided that (i) no Trading Plan may result in the purchase of Collateral Obligations having an Aggregate Principal Balance that exceeds 7.5% of the Collateral Principal Amount as of the first day of the Trading Plan Period, (ii) no Trading Plan Period may include a Determination Date, (iii) no more than one Trading Plan may be in effect at any time during a Trading Plan Period, (iv) the Collateral Manager may modify any Trading Plan during a Trading Plan Period if it determines that, but for the occurrence of an Intervening Event, the Investment Criteria would have been satisfied by the original Trading Plan (provided that the Investment Criteria are satisfied by the modified Trading Plan), (v) with respect to the Collateral Obligations to be acquired under such Trading Plan, there may not be a differential of more than three years between the earliest stated maturity and the latest stated maturity of such Collateral Obligations, (vi) none of the Collateral Obligations to be acquired under such Trading Plan may have a stated maturity of less than six months from such date of determination, and (vii) if, on two occasions, the Investment Criteria are satisfied prospectively after giving effect to a Trading Plan but are not satisfied upon the expiry of the related Trading Plan Period, the Investment Criteria shall not at any time thereafter be evaluated by giving effect to a Trading Plan unless notice is provided to S&P; provided, that this clause (vii) shall be disregarded if the Collateral Manager obtains the consent of the Majority of the Controlling Class. The Collateral Manager shall provide prior written notice to the Rating Agency of any Trading Plan, which notice shall specify the proposed investments identified by the Collateral Manager for acquisition as part of such Trading Plan, and shall notify the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Administrator and the Rating Agency of any Trading Plan failure.

(c)           Certification by Collateral Manager. Not later than the Cut-Off Date for any Collateral Obligation purchased in accordance with this Section 12.2, the Collateral Manager shall deliver by e-mail or other electronic transmission to the Collateral Trustee and the Collateral Administrator an Officer's certificate of the Collateral Manager certifying that such purchase complies with this Section 12.2 and Section 12.3 (which certification shall be deemed to be provided upon delivery of an Issuer Order or trade confirmation in respect of such purchase).

(d)           Investment in Eligible Investments. Cash on deposit in any Account (other than the Payment Account and the Custodial Account) may be invested at any time (including following the Reinvestment Period) in Eligible Investments in accordance with Article X.

239

(e)           Maturity Amendments. The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer's behalf) may not vote in favor of a Maturity Amendment unless, as determined by the Collateral Manager:

(i)            (A) the Weighted Average Life Test will be satisfied after giving effect to such Maturity Amendment or (B) if the Weighted Average Life Test was not satisfied immediately prior to giving effect to such Maturity Amendment, the level of compliance with the Weighted Average Life Test will be improved or maintained after giving effect to such Maturity Amendment, in each case after giving effect to any Trading Plan in effect during the applicable Trading Plan Period; and

(ii)           the following conditions are met: (A) the extended maturity date of such Collateral Obligation would not be later than two years beyond the earliest Stated Maturity of the Secured Debt and (B) after giving effect to such Maturity Amendment not more than 5.0% of the Collateral Principal Amount may consist of Collateral Obligations that have been subject to a Maturity Amendment and are Long-Dated Obligations solely due to such Maturity Amendment;

provided, that, the Issuer may vote in favor of any Maturity Amendment that does not meet the requirement of clause (i) above if, as determined by the Collateral Manager, after giving effect to such Maturity Amendment, (I) not more than 10.0% of the Collateral Principal Amount will consist of Collateral Obligations subject to a Maturity Amendment that does not meet the requirement of clause (i) above and (II) the Collateral Principal Amount of Collateral Obligations subject to a Maturity Amendment that does not meet the requirement of clause (i) above, measured cumulatively from the Closing Date, is not more than 15.0% of the Target Initial Par Amount.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may vote in favor of any Maturity Amendment that does not meet the requirements of clause (i) or (ii) above if (x) in the Collateral Manager's reasonable judgment, not voting in favor of such Maturity Amendment would have a material adverse effect on the Issuer, the Secured Debt or the Holders or (y) the Collateral Manager intends to sell the Collateral Obligation that is subject to such Maturity Amendment within 30 days after the effective date of such Maturity Amendment and the Collateral Manager reasonably believes that such sale will be completed prior to the end of such 30-day period. For the avoidance of doubt, if such sale is not completed prior to the end of such 30-day period, then such Collateral Obligation will be included in the Adjusted Collateral Principal Amount at the Long-Dated Obligation Amount for such Collateral Obligation.

(f)            The Investment Criteria will not be required to be satisfied in connection with any commitment to purchase a Collateral Obligation which purchase is scheduled to settle following the Redemption Date in connection with a Refinancing of the Secured Debt in whole with respect to which notice of redemption has been given as set forth in Section 9.4 (and will instead be required to comply with the terms of this Indenture as amended in connection with such Refinancing).

240

(g)           Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, but, for the avoidance of doubt, without limitation on any right of the Collateral Manager or the Issuer to participate in an Offer in accordance with this Indenture, the Collateral Manager may instruct the Collateral Trustee to exchange (i) a Credit Risk Obligation for any other Credit Risk Obligations and any related Permitted Collateral Obligations or related Equity Securities (if any); provided that (w) any Credit Risk Obligation to be received by the Issuer in such exchange (1) shall be treated as a Collateral Obligation so long as it is a Permitted Collateral Obligation and does not have a stated maturity later than the stated maturity of the Credit Risk Obligation to be exchanged and (2) shall not have a lower S&P Rating than the S&P Rating of the Credit Risk Obligation to be exchanged, (x) after giving effect to such exchange, the Collateral Principal Amount of assets acquired in exchanges pursuant to this clause (i), measured cumulatively from the Closing Date onward, is not more than 10.0% of the Target Initial Par Amount, (y) after giving effect to such exchange, each Overcollateralization Ratio Test shall be satisfied and (z) such exchange may only occur if, in the Collateral Manager's reasonable business judgment, at the time of such exchange, any Credit Risk Obligation to be received by the Issuer has a better likelihood of recovery than the Credit Risk Obligation to be exchanged, (ii) a Defaulted Obligation at any time for any other Defaulted Obligations, any Credit Risk Obligations, any Permitted Collateral Obligation and/or any Equity Securities (provided that, such exchange may only occur if, in the Collateral Manager's reasonable business judgment, at the time of such exchange, any Defaulted Obligation, Credit Risk Obligation, any Permitted Collateral Obligation and/or Equity Security to be received by the Issuer has a better likelihood of recovery than the Defaulted Obligation to be exchanged) or (iii) an Equity Security for any other Equity Securities, any Credit Risk Obligations, any Permitted Collateral Obligation and/or any Defaulted Obligations, in each case, regardless of whether such debt obligation satisfies the definition of "Collateral Obligation" (which debt obligation shall be treated as a Collateral Obligation subject to treatment as a Defaulted Obligation as described in paragraph (j) of this section below so long as it is a Permitted Collateral Obligation); provided that in the case of any exchange pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) above, after giving effect to such exchange, each Overcollateralization Ratio Test must be satisfied, or if not satisfied, maintained or improved.

(h)           At any time, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, the Issuer may direct the payment from amounts on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount or the Interest Collection Subaccount to acquire any debt obligation or security in accordance with the requirements of Section 10.2(d).

(i)            If an Equity Security meets the definition of "Permitted Collateral Obligation", it shall be treated as a Permitted Collateral Obligation and shall no longer be treated as an Equity Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

(j)            A Permitted Collateral Obligation (other than a Permitted Collateral Obligation that satisfies all of the definition of "Collateral Obligation" apart from the introductory clause, clause (i) (only with respect to whether such debt obligation is a Bond that is not a Permitted Non-Loan Asset), clause (xxv) or clause (xxviii) thereof) shall be treated as a Defaulted Obligation for all purposes of this Indenture, unless and until such Permitted Collateral Obligation meets the definition of "Collateral Obligation" (as tested on such date and without giving effect to the proviso to the definition of "Collateral Obligation"), after which it shall no longer be treated as a Defaulted Obligation.

Section 12.3.         Conditions Applicable to All Sale and Purchase Transactions. Any transaction effected under this Article XII or in connection with the acquisition, disposition or substitution of any Asset shall be conducted on an arm's length basis and, if effected with a Person Affiliated with the Collateral Manager (or with an account or portfolio for which the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates serves as investment adviser), shall be effected on terms no less favorable to the Issuer than would be the case if such Person were not so Affiliated; provided that in the case of any Collateral Obligation sold or otherwise transferred to a Person so Affiliated, the value thereof shall be the mid-point between the "bid" and "ask" prices to the extent such prices are obtained from a nationally recognized independent pricing service or, if unavailable or determined by the Collateral Manager to be unreliable, the fair market value of such Collateral Obligation as reasonably determined by the Collateral Manager (so long as the Collateral Manager is a Registered Investment Adviser) consistent with the Collateral Manager Standard, and such Affiliate shall acquire such Collateral Obligation for a price equal to the value so determined; provided further that an aggregate amount of Collateral Obligations not exceeding 15% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance may be sold or otherwise transferred to the U.S. Retention Provider or its Affiliates pursuant to this Indenture at a price greater than the value determined pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso, but no greater than the Transfer Deposit Amount of any such Collateral Obligation (and to the extent such price exceeds the fair market value of any such Collateral Obligation, such excess shall be deemed to be a capital contribution from the U.S. Retention Provider to the Issuer); provided further that, the Collateral Trustee shall have no responsibility to oversee compliance with this paragraph by the other parties. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XII to the contrary, after the Closing Date, the Issuer shall not acquire any Collateral Obligation from an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager unless (i) such transfer is from the BDC (including subsidiaries of the BDC) pursuant to the Master Loan Sale Agreement, (ii) such transfer is from an Affiliate of the BDC or the Collateral Manager that is a bankruptcy-remote special purpose vehicle or (iii) such transfer is made in accordance with the first proviso of this paragraph and other terms that the Collateral Manager determines, based upon advice of counsel, would not adversely impact the conclusions set forth in the Opinion of Counsel relating to bankruptcy matters delivered by Dechert LLP on the Closing Date.

(a)           Upon any acquisition of a Collateral Obligation pursuant to this Article XII, all of the Issuer's right, title and interest to the Asset or Assets shall be Granted to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, such Asset or Assets shall be Delivered to the Custodian, and, if applicable, the Custodian shall receive such Asset or Assets. The Collateral Trustee shall also receive, not later than the Cut-Off Date, an Officer's certificate of the Issuer containing the statements set forth in a Delivery Certificate; provided that such requirement shall be satisfied, and such statements shall be deemed to have been made by the Issuer, in respect of such acquisition by the delivery to the Collateral Trustee of a trade ticket pursuant to Section 1.3(t).

(b)           Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XII or Article V to the contrary, the Issuer shall have the right to effect any sale of any Asset or purchase of any Collateral Obligation (1) with the consent of Holders evidencing at least (i) with respect to purchases or optional repurchases or substitutions during the Reinvestment Period and sales during or after the Reinvestment Period, 75% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each Class of Debt and (ii) with respect to purchases or optional repurchases or substitutions after the Reinvestment Period, 100% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each Class of Debt and (2) if the Rating Agency, the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent have been notified.

242

(c)           Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XII or Article V to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event, the Issuer shall not have the right to effect any sale of any Asset or purchase of any Collateral Obligation without the consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class.

ARTICLE XIII.

holders' Relations

Section 13.1.          Subordination. Anything in this Indenture or the Debt to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holders of each Class of Debt that constitutes a Junior Class agree for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt of each Priority Class with respect to such Junior Class that such Junior Class shall be subordinate and junior to the Debt of each such Priority Class to the extent and in the manner expressly set forth in the Priority of Payments. In the event one or more Holder(s) cause(s) the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer prior to the expiration of the period set forth in clause (b) of this Section 13.1, any claim(s) that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇(s) have against the Issuer (including under all Debt of any Class held by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇(s)) or with respect to any Assets (including any proceeds thereof) shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Priority of Payments and notwithstanding any objection to, or rescission of, such filing, be fully subordinate in right of payment to the claims of each Holder (and each other secured creditor of the Issuer) that does not seek to cause any such filing, with such subordination being effective until all Debt (and each claim of each other secured creditor) held by each Holder of any Debt that does not seek to cause any such filing is paid in full in accordance with the Priority of Payments set forth herein (after giving effect to such subordination). The foregoing sentence shall constitute a "subordination agreement" within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

(a)           The Holders of each Class of Debt and beneficial owners of each Class of Debt agree, for the benefit of all Holders of each Class of Debt and beneficial owners of each Class of Debt, not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, insolvency or a similar proceeding in the United States or any other jurisdiction against the Issuer until the payment in full of all Debt and the expiration of a period equal to one year and one day or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect plus one day, following such payment in full.

(b)           The Issuer shall timely file an answer and any other appropriate pleading objecting to (i) the institution of any Proceeding in bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding in the United States or any other jurisdiction to have the Issuer adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent or (ii) the filing of any petition seeking relief, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Issuer under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law. The reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Issuer (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with taking any such action shall be payable as "Administrative Expenses."

243

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

ARTICLE XIV.

MISCELLANEOUS

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

Any certificate or opinion of an Officer of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel (provided that such counsel is a nationally or internationally recognized and reputable law firm, one or more of the partners of which are admitted to practice before the highest court of any State of the United States or the District of Columbia which law firm may, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be counsel for the Issuer), unless such Officer knows, or should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Officer of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or any other Person (on which the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to rely), stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or such other Person, unless such Officer of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager or such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may also be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Officer of the Collateral Manager or the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such matters is in the possession of the Collateral Manager or the Issuer, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

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

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

244

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

Section 14.2.          Acts of Holders. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Collateral Trustee or the Loan Agent, as applicable, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action or actions embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Collateral Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 14.2.

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

(b)           The principal amount or face amount, as the case may be, and registered numbers of Debt held by any Person, and the date of such Person's holding the same, shall be proved by the Register or shall be provided by certification by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

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

245

(d)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note will have the right to receive access to reports on the Collateral Trustee's website and will be entitled to exercise rights to vote, give consents and directions which holders of the related Class of Debt are entitled to give under this Indenture upon delivery of a beneficial ownership certificate in the form of Exhibit C hereto (a "Beneficial Ownership Certificate") to the Collateral Trustee which certifies (i) that such Person is a beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note, (ii) the amount and Class of Debt so owned, and (iii) that such Person will notify the Collateral Trustee when it sells all or a portion of its beneficial interest in such Class of Debt. A separate Beneficial Ownership Certificate must be delivered each time any such vote, consent or direction is given; provided that, nothing shall prevent the Collateral Trustee from requesting additional information and documentation with respect to any such beneficial owner; provided further that the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy and the currency of each Beneficial Ownership Certificate and shall not be required to obtain any further information in this regard.

(b)           If any provision herein calls for any notice or document to be delivered simultaneously to the Collateral Trustee or the Loan Agent and any other Person, the Collateral Trustee's or the Loan Agent's receipt of such notice or document shall entitle the Collateral Trustee and the Loan Agent to assume that such notice or document was delivered to such other Person or entity unless otherwise expressly specified herein.

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

247

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

(a)           such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, or by overnight delivery service (or, in the case of Holders of Global Secured Debt, e-mailed to DTC), to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Register, not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date prescribed for the giving of such notice; and

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

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

Notwithstanding clause (a) above, a Holder may give the Collateral Trustee a written notice that it is requesting that notices to it be given by electronic mail or by facsimile transmissions and stating the electronic mail address or facsimile number for such transmission. Thereafter, the Collateral Trustee shall give notices to such Holder by electronic mail or facsimile transmission, as so requested; 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. Notices for Holders may also be posted to the Collateral Trustee's internet website.

Subject to the requirements of Section 14.15, the Collateral Trustee will deliver to the Holders any information or notice relating to this Indenture in the possession of the Collateral Trustee and requested to be so delivered by at least 25% of the Holders of any Class of Debt (by Aggregate Outstanding Amount), at the expense of the Issuer; provided that the Collateral Trustee may decline to send any such notice that it reasonably determines to be contrary to (i) any of the terms of this Indenture, (ii) any duty or obligation that the Collateral Trustee may have hereunder or (iii) applicable law. The Collateral Trustee may require the requesting Holders to comply with its standard verification policies in order to confirm Holder status.

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

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

248

In all instances where any notice is to be delivered to the Loan Agent, the Loan Agent shall promptly deliver to or make available such notice to the Class A-1L-1 Lenders, the Class A-1L-2 Lenders, the Class A-2L Lenders and the Class ▇-▇ Lenders, as applicable.

Section 14.5.         Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein (including those used in cross-references herein) and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 14.6.         Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements herein by the Issuer shall bind its respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

Section 14.7.         Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Indenture or the Debt, or the application thereof to any party hereto or any circumstance, is held to be unenforceable, invalid or illegal (in whole or in part) for any reason (in any relevant jurisdiction), the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture or the Debt, modified by the deletion of the unenforceable, invalid or illegal portion (in any relevant jurisdiction), will continue in full force and effect, and such unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality will not otherwise affect the enforceability, validity or legality of the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture or the Debt, as the case may be, so long as this Indenture or the Debt, as the case may be, as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the deletion of such portion of this Indenture or the Debt, as the case may be, will not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.

Section 14.8.          Benefits of Indenture. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Indenture, nothing herein or in the Debt, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator, the Loan Agent, the Delaware Trustee, the Holders of the Debt and the other Secured Parties any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 14.9.          Legal Holidays. If the date of any Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity shall not be a Business Day, then notwithstanding any other provision of the Debt or this Indenture, payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the nominal date of any such Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity date.

Section 14.10.        Governing Law. This Indenture shall be construed in accordance with, and this Indenture and any matters arising out of or relating in any way whatsoever to this Indenture (whether in contract, tort or otherwise), shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York.

Section 14.11.        Submission to Jurisdiction. With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to this Indenture or any matter between the parties arising under or in connection with this Indenture ("Proceedings"), each party irrevocably: (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof; and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party. Nothing herein precludes any of the parties from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.

249

Section 14.12.        Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE ISSUER, THE HOLDERS AND THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE DEBT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. Each party hereby (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the other would not, in the event of a Proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it has been induced to enter into this Indenture by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this paragraph.

Section 14.13.        Counterparts. This Indenture shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) an original manual signature; (ii) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or (iii) any other electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the UCC (collectively, "Signature Law"), in each case to the extent applicable. Each faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but such counterparts shall, together, constitute one and the same instrument. For the avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the UCC or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings.

Section 14.14.        Acts of Issuer. Any report, information, communication, request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or performed by the Issuer shall be effective if given or performed by the Issuer or by the Collateral Manager on the Issuer's behalf.

The Issuer agrees to coordinate with the Collateral Manager with respect to any communication to the Rating Agency and to comply with the provisions of this Section 14.14 and Section 14.17, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Collateral Manager.

250

Section 14.15.        Confidential Information. The Collateral Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Administrator and each Holder or beneficial owner of Debt will maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Person in good faith to protect Confidential Information of third parties delivered to such Person; provided that such Person may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to: (i) such Person's directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 14.15 and to the extent such disclosure is reasonably required for the administration of this Indenture, the matters contemplated hereby or the investment represented by the Debt; (ii) such Person's legal advisors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 14.15 and to the extent such disclosure is reasonably required for the administration of this Indenture, the matters contemplated hereby or the investment represented by the Debt; (iii) any other Holder or beneficial owner of Debt, or any of the other parties to this Indenture, the Collateral Management Agreement, any Credit Agreement or the Collateral Administration Agreement; (iv) except for Specified Obligor Information, any Person of the type that would be, to such Person's knowledge, permitted to acquire Debt in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.5 hereof to which such Person sells or offers to sell any such Debt or any part thereof; (v) except for Specified Obligor Information, any other Person from which such former Person offers to purchase any security of the Issuer; (vi) any federal or state or other regulatory, governmental or judicial authority having jurisdiction over such Person; (vii) the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about the investment portfolio of such Person, reinsurers and liquidity and credit providers that agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 14.15; (viii) S&P (subject to Section 14.17); (ix) any other Person with the consent of the Issuer and the Collateral Manager; or (x) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (A) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Person, (B) in response to any subpoena or other legal process (unless prohibited by applicable law, rule, order or decree or other requirement having the force of law), (C) in connection with any litigation to which such Person is a party (unless prohibited by applicable law, rule, order or decree or other requirement having the force of law), (D) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Person may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under the Debt or this Indenture or (E) in the Collateral Trustee's, the Loan Agent's or the Collateral Administrator's performance of its obligations under this Indenture, the Collateral Administration Agreement or other transaction document related thereto; and provided that delivery to the Holders or beneficial owners of Debt or to the accountants by the Collateral Trustee or the Collateral Administrator of any report of information required by the terms of this Indenture to be provided to Holders or beneficial owners of Debt or to the accountants shall not be a violation of this Section 14.15. Each Holder or beneficial owner of Debt will, by its acceptance of the Debt, be deemed to have agreed, except as set forth in clauses (vi), (vii) and (x) above, that it shall use the Confidential Information for the sole purpose of making an investment in the Debt or administering its investment in the Debt; and that the Collateral Trustee and the Collateral Administrator shall neither be required nor authorized to disclose to Holders or beneficial owners of Debt any Confidential Information in violation of this Section 14.15. In the event of any required disclosure of the Confidential Information by such Holder or beneficial owner, such Holder or beneficial owner will, by its acceptance of the Debt, be deemed to have agreed to use reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.

(B)            if such Collateral Obligation is not rated by S&P but another security or obligation of the obligor has a public and monitored rating by S&P (a "parallel security"), then the rating of such parallel security will at the election of the Collateral Manager be determined in accordance with the table set forth in subclause (i)(A) above, and the ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Derived Rating for purposes of the definitions of ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be determined in accordance with the methodology set forth in the following table (for such purposes treating the parallel security as if it were rated by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ at the rating determined pursuant to this subclause (i)(B)):

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

(C)            if such Collateral Obligation is a DIP Collateral Obligation, no ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Derived Rating may be determined based on a rating by S&P or any other rating agency.

For purposes of the definitions of "▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Derived Rating" and "▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Rating", any credit estimate assigned by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ shall expire one year from the date such estimate was issued; provided that, for purposes of any calculation under this Indenture, if ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ fails to renew for any reason a credit estimate for a previously acquired Collateral Obligation thereunder on or before such one-year anniversary (which may be extended at ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ option to the extent the annual audited financial statements for the Obligor have not yet been received), after the Issuer or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer's behalf has submitted to ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ all information that the Issuer or the Collateral Manager believed in good faith was required to provide such renewal, (1) the Issuer for a period of 60 days will continue using the previous credit estimate assigned by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ with respect to such Collateral Obligation until such time as ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ renews the credit estimate for such Collateral Obligation and (2) after 60 days but before ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ renews the credit estimate for such Collateral Obligation, the Collateral Obligation will be deemed to have a ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ rating of "Caa3."

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining the S&P Recovery Rate of a Collateral Obligation that is a Senior Secured Loan (including any Cov-Lite Loan), a Senior Secured Bond or a Senior Secured Note secured solely or primarily by common stock or other equity interest, such Collateral Obligation shall be deemed to be an Unsecured Loan.

For purposes of determining the S&P Recovery Rate, (a) a Senior Secured Note shall be deemed to be a Senior Secured Loan if such Senior Secured Note, if it were a loan, would satisfy the definition of Senior Secured Loan and (b) any Senior Secured Loan that is subordinate in right of payment to a customary super senior revolving facility that exceeds 20% of the sum of (x) the outstanding principal balance of the loan, plus (y) the outstanding principal balance and unfunded commitments of such revolving facility, plus (z) the outstanding principal balance of any other debt for borrowed money incurred by such Obligor that is pari passu with such loan shall be deemed to be First-Lien Last-Out Loan.

Solely for the purpose of determining S&P Recovery Rate: (a) "senior unsecured Bond" shall mean an unsecured debt security (that is not a loan) that (i) is issued by a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or similar business entity and (ii) if it is subordinated by its terms, is subordinated only with respect to liquidation, trade claims, capitalized leases or similar obligations and (b) "subordinated bond" shall mean a debt security (that is not a loan) that (i) is issued by a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or similar business entity and (ii)  is subordinated by its terms other than with respect to liquidation, trade claims, capitalized leases or similar obligations.

***

The S&P Recovery Rate for Senior Syndicated Secured Loans shall apply only to Senior Syndicated Secured Loans for which the Syndicated Tranche exceeds 20% of the sum of (x) the outstanding principal balance of the loan, plus (y) the outstanding principal balance and unfunded commitments of such revolving facility, plus (z) the outstanding principal balance of any other debt for borrowed money incurred by such Obligor that is pari passu with such loan.

For purposes of determining the S&P Recovery Rate, a Senior Syndicated Secured Loan that does not satisfy both of the following conditions shall be deemed to be a First-Lien Last-Out Loan: (a) the outstanding principal balance and unfunded commitments of the Syndicated Tranche plus any customary senior secured loan revolving facility (together, for purposes of this paragraph, the "revolving facility") does not exceed 25% of the sum of (x) the outstanding principal balance of the loan, plus (y) the outstanding principal balance and unfunded commitments of such revolving facility, plus (z) the outstanding principal balance of any other debt for borrowed money incurred by such Obligor that is pari passu with such loan and (b) the revolving facility (i) has a leverage ratio of not greater than 1.5x or (ii) has a loan-to-value of not greater than 17.5%.

****

Solely for the purpose of determining the S&P Recovery Rate for such loan, the aggregate principal balance of all First-Lien Last-Out Loans, Unsecured Loans, Second Lien Loans and senior unsecured Bonds that, in the aggregate, represent up to 15% of the Collateral Principal Amount shall have the S&P Recovery Rate specified for First-Lien Last-Out Loans, Unsecured Loans, Second Lien Loans and senior unsecured Bonds in the table above and the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all First-Lien Last-Out Loans, Unsecured Loans, Second Lien Loans and senior unsecured Bonds in excess of 15% of the Collateral Principal Amount shall have the S&P Recovery Rate specified for subordinated loans in the table above.

For purposes of calculating the Collateral Quality Tests, DIP Collateral Obligations will be treated as having an S&P Recovery Rate equal to the S&P Recovery Rate for Senior Secured Loan.

The applicable weighted average spread will be the spread between 2.00% and 8.00% (in increments of .01%) without exceeding the Weighted Average Floating Spread (determined for purposes of this definition as if all Discount Obligations instead constituted Collateral Obligations that are not Discount Obligations) as of such Measurement Date.
