practicable following the date of this Agreement (but in no event later than the date that is two hundred ten (210) calendar days after the Initial Closing Time) a shelf Registration Statement on Form S-11 or such other form under the
Securities Act then available to the Company providing for the resale of the Registrable 

  

 6 

 
Shares pursuant to Rule 415 from time to time by the Holders, including for the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Shares that are issued prior to the
initial effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement (such registration statement, including the Prospectus, amendments and supplements to such registration statement or Prospectus, including pre- and post-effective amendments, all exhibits
thereto and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference, if any, in such registration statement, the “Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable. Such commercially reasonable efforts shall include, without limitation, responding to any comments issued by the staff of the Commission with
respect to any Registration Statement and filing any related amendment to such Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of such comments. Any Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for the resale from time to time,
and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available (including, without limitation, an Underwritten Offering, a direct sale to purchasers, a sale through brokers or agents or sale over the Internet) by the Holders of any and all
Registrable Shares. 
  
 (b) IPO Registration. If the
Company proposes to file a registration statement on Form S-11 or such other form under the Securities Act providing for the initial public offering of Common Shares (such registration statement, including the Prospectus, amendments and supplements
to such registration statement or Prospectus, including pre- and post-effective amendments, all exhibits thereto and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference, if any, in such registration statement, the
“IPO Registration Statement”), the Company will notify in writing each Holder of the filing, within the five (5) Business Days after the filing thereof, and afford each Holder an opportunity to include in such IPO Registration
Statement all or any part of the Registrable Shares then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such IPO Registration Statement all or part of the Registrable Shares held by such Holder shall, within fifteen (15) Business
Days after receipt of the above-described written notice by the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Shares such Holder wishes to include in such IPO Registration
Statement. Furthermore, in the event the IPO Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission within one hundred twenty (120) Business Days following delivery by the Company of notice to the Holders of their initial
opportunity to include all or any part of the Registrable Shares then held by such Holders in the IPO Registration Statement, unless a road show for the Underwritten Offering pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement is actually in progress at such
time, the Company shall promptly provide a new written notice to all Holders giving them another opportunity to elect to include Registrable Shares in the pending IPO Registration Statement. Each Holder desiring to include in any such IPO
Registration Statement all or part of the Registrable Shares held by such Holder shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the above-described written notice by the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall
inform the Company of the number of Registrable Shares such Holder wishes to include in such IPO Registration Statement. Any election by any Holder to include any Registrable Shares in the IPO Registration Statement will not affect the inclusion of
such Registrable Shares in the Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement until such Registrable Shares have been sold under the IPO Registration Statement; provided, however, that at such time of sale, the
Company shall have the right to remove from the Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement the Registrable Shares sold pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement. 
  
 (i) Right to Terminate IPO Registration. The Company
shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any IPO Registration Statement referred to in this Section 2(b) prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Shares in such
registration; provided, however, that the Company must provide each Holder that elected to include any Registrable Shares in such IPO Registration Statement prompt written notice of such termination. 
  

 7 

 (ii) Shelf Registration not Impacted by IPO Registration Statement. The
Company’s obligation to file the Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Sections 2(a) or 2(c) hereof shall not be affected by the filing or effectiveness of the IPO Registration Statement,
except to the extent Registrable Shares are sold pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement, in which case, the Company shall have the right to remove from the Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement, as
applicable, the Registrable Shares sold pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement; provided, however, if the Company files an IPO Registration Statement before the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or such Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement, the Company shall have the right to defer causing the Commission to declare the Shelf Registration Statement or such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement effective until sixty (60) days after effective date of the IPO
Registration Statement. 
  
 (iii)
Underwriting. The Company shall give written notice to the Holders who elected to be included in the IPO Registration Statement of the names of the managing underwriters for the Underwritten Offering proposed under the IPO Registration
Statement. The right of any such Holder’s Registrable Shares to be included in any IPO Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such Underwritten Offering undertaken
pursuant thereto and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Shares in the Underwritten Offering to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Shares through such Underwritten Offering shall enter into
an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriters selected by the Company for such underwriting and complete and execute any questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, securities escrow agreements, custody agreements,
lock-up agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting, and furnish to the Company such information in writing as the Company may reasonably request for inclusion in the IPO Registration Statement;
provided, however, that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements (including indemnitees) with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements (including
indemnitees) as are customary and reasonably requested by the underwriters. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time the managing underwriters determine in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation on the
number of shares to be included, then the managing underwriters may exclude shares (including Registrable Shares) from the IPO Registration Statement and the Underwritten Offering, and any shares included in the IPO Registration Statement and the
Underwritten Offering shall be allocated, first, to the Company, second, to each of the Holders (other than the Management Holders) requesting inclusion of their Registrable Shares in the IPO Registration Statement (on a pro
rata basis based on the total number 

  

 8 

 
of Registrable Shares then requested for inclusion by each such Holder), and third, to each of the Management Holders requesting inclusion of their
Registrable Shares in such IPO Registration Statement (on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Shares then requested for inclusion by each such Holder); provided, however, that the number of Registrable
Shares (other than the Management Shares) to be included in the IPO Registration Statement shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company held by (i) the Company’s trustees, officers, other employees and consultants; and
(ii) other holders of the Company’s capital stock with registration rights that are inferior (with respect to such reduction) to the registration rights of the Holders set forth herein, are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and
registration. 
  
 If any Holder disapproves of
the terms of any such Underwritten Offering, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by providing written notice to the Company and the managing underwriters, delivered not later than the later of (a) forty-five (45) days after the
initial filing date of the IPO Registration Statement and (b) five (5) Business Days prior to the date the preliminary prospectus is printed; provided, however, in the event the IPO Registration Statement is not declared effective
by the Commission within one hundred twenty (120) Business Days following delivery by the Company of notice to the Holders of their initial opportunity to include all or any part of the Registrable Shares then held by such Holders in the IPO
Registration Statement, unless a road show for the Underwritten Offering pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement is in progress at such time, the Company shall promptly provide written notice to all Holders who have elected to be included in the
IPO Registration Statement giving them another opportunity to elect to withdraw from the pending IPO Registration Statement, and each Holder desiring to withdraw from such IPO Registration Statement shall, within ten (10) Business Days after
receipt of the above-described written notice by the Company, provide notice to the Company and the managing underwriter of such election. Any Registrable Shares excluded or withdrawn from such Underwritten Offering shall be excluded and withdrawn
from the IPO Registration Statement. 
  
 (iv)
Hold-back Agreement. By electing to include Registrable Shares in the IPO Registration Statement, if any, the Holder of such Registrable Shares shall be deemed to have agreed not to effect any sale or distribution of securities of the Company
of the same or similar class or classes of the securities included in the IPO Registration Statement or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, during such periods as are reasonably requested by the managing underwriters of the Underwritten Offering pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement (but in no event for a period longer than thirty (30) days prior to and sixty
(60) days following the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement); provided that each of the officers and trustees of the Company that hold Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common
Shares are subject to restrictions at least as burdensome as those applicable to the Holders for not less than the entire time period required of the Holders hereunder. 
  
 (c) Subsequent Shelf Registration for Additional Shares Issued after Effectiveness of the Mandatory Shelf Registration
Statement. If any Additional Shares are issued or distributed to 

  

 9 

 
Holders after the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, or such Additional Shares were otherwise not included in a prior Shelf Registration
Statement, then the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the issuance of such Additional Shares, file and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective by
the Commission an additional shelf registration statement on Form S-11 or such other form under the Securities Act then available to the Company providing for the resale of the Additional Shares pursuant to Rule 415 from time to time by the Holders
(such registration statement, including the Prospectus, amendments and supplements to such registration statement or Prospectus, including pre- and post-effective amendments, all exhibits thereto and all material incorporated by reference or deemed
to be incorporated by reference, if any, in such registration statement, a “Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement”) in the same manner, and subject to the same provisions in this Agreement as the Shelf Registration Statement.

  
 (d) Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration
Expenses in connection with the registration of the Registrable Shares pursuant to this Agreement. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on the total
number of Registrable Shares sold in such registration) of all discounts and commissions payable to underwriters or brokers and all transfer taxes and transfer fees in connection with a registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to this Agreement
and any other expense of the Holders not specifically allocated to the Company pursuant to this Agreement relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Shares pursuant to any Registration Statement. 
  
 (e) Executive Bonuses and Equity Awards. If the Company does not file
a Registration Statement registering the resale of the Accredited Investor Shares, the Rule 144A Shares and the Regulation S Shares within two hundred ten (210) days after the date of the Initial Offering Memorandum, other than as a result of
the Commission being unable to accept such filings (a “Registration Default”), then, for each day the Registration Default continues, each of Daniel G. Cohen, Mitchell Kahn and Jack E. Salmon (each an “Executive
Officer”) shall forfeit 1.0% of any bonus, whether in the form of cash or equity awards under the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan or other incentive plans. 
  

	3.	Rules 144 and 144A Reporting 

  
 With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Registrable Shares to the
public without registration, until such date as no Holder owns any Registrable Shares, the Company agrees: 
  
 (a) at all times after the effective date of the first registration statement under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its
securities to the general public, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act; 
  
 (b) to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); 
  

 10 

 (c) if the Company is not required to file reports and other documents under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act, it will make available other information as required by, and so long as necessary to permit sales of Registrable Shares pursuant to, Rule 144 and Rule 144A; and 
  
 (d) to furnish to any Holder promptly upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the
reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public), and of
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual and quarterly report(s) of the Company, and (iii) such other
reports, documents or shareholder communications of the Company, and take such further actions consistent with this Section 3, as a Holder may reasonably request in availing, and as is necessary to avail, itself of any rule or regulation of the
Commission allowing a Holder to sell any such Registrable Shares without registration. 
  

	4.	Registration Procedures 

  
 In connection with the obligations of the Company with respect to any registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall,
without limitation: 
  
 (a) notify FBR in writing at least ten
(10) Business Days prior to filing a Registration Statement, of its intention to file a Registration Statement with the Commission and, at least five (5) Business Days prior to filing, provide a copy of the Registration Statement to FBR
and its counsel for review and comment within five (5) Business Days after FBR’s receipt of such copy and in good faith give consideration to any comments received from FBR or its counsel; prepare and file with the Commission, as specified
in this Agreement, a Registration Statement(s), which Registration Statement(s) (x) shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements required by the Commission to
be filed therewith and (y) shall otherwise comply with this Agreement and be reasonably acceptable to FBR and its counsel; provide a copy of such Registration Statement in the form in which it was filed with the Commission to Selling
Holders’ Counsel, if any, within three (3) Business Days after filing; at least three (3) Business Days prior to filing, provide a copy of any proposed amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement to FBR and its counsel for
review and comment within three (3) Business Days after FBR’s receipt of such copy and in good faith give consideration to any comments received from FBR or its counsel (provided, however, that with respect to any amendment or supplement
to an IPO Registration Statement filed after a red herring prospectus is distributed to investors, such three (3) Business Day period shall be reduced to one (1) Business Day); provide a copy of any such amendment or supplement to such
Registration Statement in the form in which it was filed with the Commission to Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, within three (3) Business Days after filing; promptly following receipt from the Commission of any comments relating to the
Registration Statement (whether pre-effective or post-effective), provide to FBR and its counsel and, in the case of comments relating to the Selling Holders or the plan of distribution of Registrable Shares, provide to Selling Holders’
Counsel, if any, copies of such comments and of the Company’s proposed responses thereto for review and comment and in good faith give consideration to any comments received from FBR, its counsel or Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, prior
to delivering them to the Commission; incorporate any comments reasonably made by FBR, its counsel and 

  

 11 

 
Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, to the Registration Statement, any amendment or supplement thereto and/or any response to comments received from the
Commission that are made in compliance with the time periods specified above or prior to the Company’s filing or such document, whichever is later; and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become
effective as soon as practicable after filing and to remain effective, subject to Section 5 hereof, until the earlier of (i) such time as all Registrable Shares covered thereby have been sold in accordance with the intended methods of
distribution of such Registrable Shares, and (ii) there are no Registrable Shares outstanding; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to cause any IPO Registration Statement to become effective if it elects to
terminate or withdraw the IPO Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) hereof and the Holders have been so notified; provided, further, that if the Company has an effective Shelf Registration Statement or Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act and becomes eligible to use Form S-3 or such other short-form registration statement form under the Securities Act, the Company may, upon twenty (20) days prior written notice to FBR
and all Holders, register any Registrable Shares registered but not yet distributed under the effective Shelf Registration Statement or Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement on such a short-form Shelf Registration Statement and, once the
short-form Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, de-register such shares under the previous Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement or transfer the filing fees from the previous Shelf Registration
Statement (such transfer pursuant to Rule 429, if applicable) unless the Holders holding a majority of the shares registered by the Holders under the initial Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement (excluding
Registrable Shares held by the Company, the Management Holders or any of their Affiliates) notify the Company within twenty (20) days of receipt of the Company notice that such a registration under a new Registration Statement and
de-registration of the initial Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement would materially interfere with such Holders’ distribution of Registrable Shares already in progress, in which case the Company shall
delay the effectiveness of the short-form Shelf Registration Statement and de-registration for a period of not less than thirty (30) days from the date that the Company receives the notice from such Holders requesting a delay; 
  
 (b) subject to Section 4(i) hereof, (i) prepare and file with the
Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to each such Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the period described in Section 4(a) hereof; (ii) cause each Prospectus
contained therein to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; and (iii) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities
covered by each Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the selling Holders thereof; 
  
 (c) furnish to FBR and the Holders, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus, including each preliminary
Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto and such other documents as FBR or such Holder may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Shares; the Company consents, subject to
Section 5, to the use of such Prospectus, including each preliminary Prospectus, by FBR and the Holders, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Shares covered by any such Prospectus; 
  

 12 

 (d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify, or obtain exemption from registration
or qualification for, all Registrable Shares by the time the applicable Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as FBR or any Holder with
Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement may reasonably request in writing, keep each such registration or qualification or exemption effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective pursuant
to Section 4(a) and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such Registrable Shares owned by such Holder; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to take any action to comply with this Section 4(d) if it would require the Company to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction or to register as a broker or dealer in
such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4(d) and except as may be required by the Securities Act, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iii) submit to the
general service of process in any such jurisdiction; 
  
 (e) use
its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement to be registered and approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the Holders thereof to
consummate the disposition of such Registrable Shares; 
  
 (f)
notify FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and each Holder with Registrable Shares covered by a Registration Statement promptly and, if requested by FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, or any such Holder, promptly confirm such advice
in writing at the address determined in accordance with Section 10(c), (i) when such Registration Statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendments thereto become effective or upon the filing of a supplement to any
Prospectus, (ii) of the issuance by the Commission or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation, assertion or, to the extent known to the Company, threat of
any Proceedings for that purpose, (iii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal, state or foreign governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional
information, and (iv) of any reason, including without limitation, the happening of any event during the period such Registration Statement is effective, as a result of which such Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document
incorporated by reference therein contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading (which information shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Registration Statement and the related Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made); 
  
 (g) use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or if
issued, to obtain the withdrawal of, any order enjoining or suspending the use or effectiveness of a Registration Statement or suspending of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Shares for sale in any
jurisdiction, as promptly as practicable; 
  
 (h) promptly furnish
to FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and each requesting Holder with Registrable Shares covered by a Registration Statement, without charge, at least one (1) conformed copy of each Registration Statement and any post-effective
amendment or 

  

 13 

 
supplement thereto (without documents incorporated therein by reference or exhibits thereto, unless requested); 
  
 (i) except as provided in Section 5, upon the occurrence of any event
contemplated by Section 4(f)(iv) hereof, use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by
reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Shares, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and promptly furnish to FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and each requesting Holder, without charge,
as many copies of such Prospectus and any supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or Prospectus and any document incorporated therein by reference or so filed, as FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, or such
Holder may reasonably request; 
  
 (j) if requested by FBR,
Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, the representative of the underwriters (in an Underwritten Offering), if any, or any Holders of Registrable Shares being sold in connection with a Registration Statement, (i) as promptly as reasonably
practicable incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, the representative of the underwriters, if any, or such Holders indicate in writing relates to them or
otherwise reasonably request be included therein, and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be
incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; 
  
 (k) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish or cause to be furnished to FBR and the underwriters a signed counterpart, addressed to FBR and the underwriters, of: (i) an opinion of
counsel for the Company, dated the date of each closing under the underwriting agreement, reasonably satisfactory to FBR (an “Opinion”) and the underwriters; and (ii) a “comfort” letter, dated the effective date of
such Registration Statement and the date of each closing under the underwriting agreement, signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements included in such Registration Statement, covering
substantially the same matters with respect to such Registration Statement (and the Prospectus included therein) and with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in accountants’ letters
delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities and such other financial matters as FBR or the underwriters may reasonably request (a “Comfort Letter”); in the case of a Registration Statement that does not
involve an Underwritten Offering, use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to FBR a signed counterpart, addressed to FBR, of an Opinion and a Comfort Letter, each dated the initial effective date of such Registration Statement and on the
date of each quarterly or year-end post-effective amendment thereto, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to FBR; 
  
 (l) enter into customary agreements (including in the case of an Underwritten Offering, an underwriting agreement in customary form and reasonably
satisfactory to the Company) and take all other reasonable action in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the distribution of the Registrable Shares included in such Registration Statement and, 

  

 14 

 
in the case of an Underwritten Offering, make representations, warranties and agreements to FBR, the Holders covered by such Registration Statement and to
the underwriters in such form and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters and holders in underwritten offerings and confirm the same to the extent customary if and when requested; 
  
 (m) to make available for inspection by FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel,
if any, and the representatives of any underwriters participating in any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and cooperate with, and cause the
respective officers, trustees, employees and agents of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by, FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and the representatives of any underwriters in connection with a Registration Statement
and the due diligence review of the Registration Statement and the information contained or incorporated therein; provided, however, that such records, documents or information that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and with
respect to which the Company notifies FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and the representatives of any underwriters in advance in writing of such confidential nature, shall not be disclosed by FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any,
and the representatives of any underwriters unless (i) the disclosure of such records, documents or information is necessary to avoid or correct a material misstatement or omission in a Registration Statement or Prospectus, (ii) the
release of such records, documents or information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) such records, documents or information have been generally made available to the public;
provided, further, that FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and the representatives of any underwriters will use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent reasonably practicable, to coordinate the foregoing inspection and
information gathering and not materially disrupt the Company’s business operations; 
  
 (n) use its commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the criteria for listing and list or include (if the Company satisfies the criteria for listing or inclusion on such exchange or market) all Registrable Shares on
the New York Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market as soon as practicable (including, without limitation, seeking to cure in the Company’s listing or inclusion application any deficiencies cited by the exchange or market) and thereafter use
commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such listing; 
  
 (o)
to prepare and file in a timely manner all documents and reports required by the Exchange Act at all times beginning from the date the Company is first subject to such filing and reporting requirements through the date there are no longer any
Registrable Shares outstanding; 
  
 (p) provide a CUSIP number for
all Registrable Shares, not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement; 
  
 (q) (i) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and, as applicable, the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq National Market or other
listing standard, (ii) make generally available to its stockholders, as soon as reasonably practicable, earnings statements covering at least 12 months beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement that satisfy the provisions
of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act ) thereunder, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company occurring after
the first anniversary of the effective date of the 

  

 15 

 
Registration Statement (unless such fiscal quarter is the last fiscal quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, in which case such earnings statement shall
be delivered no later than sixty (60) days after such fiscal quarter occurring after the first anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement), and (iii) not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or
supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus to which FBR, Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, or any Holder of Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement shall have reasonably objected on the grounds that such
Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement does not comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act; 
  
 (r) provide and cause to be maintained a registrar and transfer agent for all Registrable Shares covered by any Registration Statement from and after a
date not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement; 
  
 (s) in connection with any sale or transfer of the Registrable Shares (whether or not pursuant to a Registration Statement) that will result in the security being delivered no longer being Registrable Shares, cooperate with the Holders and
the representative of the underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Shares to be sold, which certificates shall not bear any transfer restrictive legends (other than as
required by the Company’s Charter) and to enable such Registrable Shares to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the representative of the underwriters, if any, or the Holders may reasonably request at least three
(3) Business Days prior to any sale of the Registrable Shares; 
  
 (t) in connection with the initial filing of a Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Registration Statement and each amendment thereto with the Commission, prepare and, within one (1) Business Day of such filing with the
Commission, file with the NASD a copy of the Registration Statement and any such other forms and information required or requested by the NASD to be filed on such day, and prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, file all such other
forms and information required or requested by the NASD, in order to obtain written confirmation from the NASD that the NASD does not object to the fairness and reasonableness of the underwriting terms and arrangements (including any deemed
underwriting terms and arrangements relating to FBR and any other NASD member that is the holder of, or is affiliated or associated with an owner of, Registrable Shares included in the Registration Statement) relating to the resale of Registrable
Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, including, without limitation, information provided to the NASD through its COBRADesk system; and 
  
 (u) upon effectiveness of the first Registration Statement filed by the Company under this Agreement, take such actions and make such filings as are
necessary to effect the registration of the Common Shares under the Exchange Act simultaneously with or immediately following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. 
  
 The Company may require the Holders to furnish to the Company such information regarding the proposed distribution by such
Holder of such Registrable Shares as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing or as shall be required to effect the registration of the Registrable Shares and no Holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling stockholder in
any Registration Statement and no Holder shall be entitled to use the Prospectus 

  

 16 

 
forming a part thereof if such Holder does not provide such information to the Company. Any Holder that sells Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration
Statement shall be required to be named as a selling stockholder in the related Prospectus and to deliver or cause to be delivered a Prospectus to purchasers. Each Holder further agrees to furnish promptly to the Company in writing all information
required from time to time to make the information previously furnished by such Holder not misleading. 
  
 Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4(f)(ii),
4(f)(iii) or 4(f)(iv) hereof, such Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus. If so directed by the
Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Shares current at the
time of receipt of such notice. 
  

	5.	Black-Out Period 

  
 (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time to suspend the use of
the Registration Statement following the effectiveness of a Registration Statement (and the filings with any international, federal or state securities commissions), if a Suspension Event (as defined below) occurs. If the Company elects to
suspend the effectiveness and/or use of a Registration Statement following the occurrence of a Suspension Event, the Company, by written notice to FBR and the Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, and by written notice, email transmission or such
other means that the Company reasonably believes to be a reliable means of communication (a “Suspension Notice”), shall notify the Holders, that the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been suspended and shall direct the
Holders to suspend sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement until the Suspension Event has ended. Each Suspension Notice shall state generally the basis for the notice and that such suspension shall continue only for so
long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing and the Company is using its commercially reasonable efforts and taking all reasonable steps to terminate suspension of the use of the Registration Statement as promptly as possible.

  
 (b) A “Suspension Event” shall be deemed to
have occurred if: (i) the representative of the underwriters of an Underwritten Offering by the Company of primary shares has advised the Company that the offer or sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement would have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s Underwritten Offering of primary shares; (ii) a majority of the members of the Board of Trustees of the Company (including at least two of the independent trustees) in good faith has determined that
(A) the offer or sale of any Registrable Shares would materially impede, delay or interfere with any proposed financing, offer or sale of securities, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other significant transaction involving the Company;
(B) based upon the advice of legal counsel, the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement would require disclosure of non-public material information not otherwise required to be disclosed under applicable law, and
(C) (x) the Company has a bona fide business purposes for preserving the confidentiality of such transaction, (y) disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company or the Company’s ability to consummate such
transaction, or (z) such transaction renders the Company unable to comply with Commission requirements, in each case, under circumstances that would 

  

 17 

 
make it impractical or inadvisable to cause the Registration Statement (or such filings) to become effective or to promptly amend or supplement the
Registration Statement on a post-effective basis, as applicable; or (iii) a majority of the members of the Board of Trustees of the Company (including at least two of the independent trustees) in good faith has determined that, upon the advice
of legal counsel, it is required by law, or that it is in the best interests of the Company, to supplement the Registration Statement or file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement in order to ensure that the Prospectus included in
the Registration Statement (1) contains the financial information required under Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (2) discloses any fundamental and material change in the information included in the Prospectus; or
(3) discloses any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information. 
  
 (c) Upon the occurrence of any Suspension Event, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Registration Statement to become effective or to promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement or to take such action as is necessary to make resumed use of the Registration Statement as soon as practicable. In no event shall the Company
be permitted to suspend the use of a Registration Statement (i) in any twelve (12) month period for more than forty-five (45) consecutive days or for more than an aggregate of ninety (90) days, (ii) in any ninety
(90)-day period for more than an aggregate thirty (30) days), and (iii) more than six (6) separate times in any twenty four (24) month period, except as a result of a refusal by the Commission to declare any
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement effective after the Company has used all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective, in which case the Company shall terminate the suspension
of the use of the Registration Statement immediately following the effective date of the post-effective amendment. 
  
 (d) If the Company gives a Suspension Notice to the Holders to suspend sales of the Registrable Shares following a Suspension Event, the Holders shall not
effect any sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below).
If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) all copies other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Shares at the
time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. The Holders may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (or such filings) upon delivery by the Company of notice that the Suspension Event or its potential
effects are no longer continuing (an “End of Suspension Notice”), which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to FBR, the Selling Holders’ Counsel, if any, the Holders in the same manner as the Suspension
Notice promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event and its effect. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company shall give a Suspension Notice with respect to any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 5, the Company agrees that it
shall extend the period of time during which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from the date of receipt by the Holders of the Suspension Notice to and
including the date of receipt by the Holders of the End of Suspension Notice and provide copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume sales, with respect to each Suspension Event; 

  

 18 

 
provided such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that Common Shares covered by such Registration Statement are no longer Registrable
Shares. 
  

	6.	Indemnification and Contribution 

  
 (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder and any underwriter (as determined in the Securities Act) for such Holder
(including, if applicable, FBR), (ii) each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), any such Person described in clause (i) (any of the Persons
referred to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a “Controlling Person”), and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, members, managers, employees, representatives and agents of any such Person
or any Controlling Person (any Person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) may hereinafter be referred to as a “Purchaser Indemnitee”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, judgments, Proceedings, out-of-pocket expenses, and other liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”), including without limitation and as incurred, reimbursement of all reasonable costs of investigating, preparing,
pursuing or defending any Proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to any Purchaser Indemnitee, joint or several, directly or indirectly related to, based upon,
arising out of or in connection with any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished to such Purchaser
Indemnitee any amendments or supplements thereto), or any preliminary Prospectus or any other document prepared by the Company and used to sell the Registrable Shares, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or omission
or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Purchaser Indemnitee furnished to the Company or any underwriter in writing by such Purchaser Indemnitee expressly for use therein or
(ii) any untrue statement contained in or omission from a preliminary Prospectus if a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented, if the Company shall have furnished to or on behalf of the Holder participating in the distribution
relating to the relevant Registration Statement any such amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Holder to the Person asserting any such Liabilities who purchased Registrable Shares, if such Prospectus (or
Prospectus as amended or supplemented) is required by law to be sent or given at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Shares to such Person and the untrue statement contained in or omission from such preliminary
Prospectus was corrected in the Prospectus (or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented). The Company shall notify FBR and the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which it shall have become aware in
connection with the matters addressed by this Agreement which involves the Company or a Purchaser Indemnitee. The indemnity provided for herein shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any
Purchaser Indemnitee. 
  
 (b) In connection with any Registration
Statement in which a Holder is participating and as a condition to such participation, such Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Person who signs the Registration Statement or 

  

 19 

 
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and the respective partners,
trustees, officers, members, managers, representatives, employees and agents of the Company and each such Person to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Purchaser Indemnitee, but only with reference to untrue
statements or omissions or alleged untrue statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with information relating to such Purchaser Indemnitee furnished to the Company in writing by such Purchaser Indemnitee expressly for
use in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary Prospectus. The liability of any Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to this paragraph shall in no event exceed the net proceeds received by such
Purchaser Indemnitee from sales of Registrable Shares giving rise to such obligations. 
  
 (c) If any Proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation) shall be brought or asserted against any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to paragraph (a) or
(b) above, such Person (the “Indemnified Party,” or if more than one Indemnified Party, the “Indemnified Parties”), shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying
Party”), in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 6, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is
materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice), and the Indemnifying Party, upon request of the Indemnified Party, shall assume the defense of such Proceeding and retain counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party and approved by the Indemnified
Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, to represent the Indemnified Party and any others the Indemnifying Party may reasonably designate in such Proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses actually incurred by such
counsel related to such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any such Proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified
Party, unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed in writing to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Party failed within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the Proceeding to assume
the defense and engage counsel approved by the Indemnified Party as hereinabove provided, (iii) the Indemnifying Party and its counsel do not in a reasonable manner pursue the defense of such Proceeding, or (iv) the named parties to any
such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties), include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, or any Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been reasonably advised by counsel that, either
(x) there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or such Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party or (y) a conflict may exist between such
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or such Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume nor direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party, it being
understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such Proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related Proceedings arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees
and expenses of more than one (1) separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel), for all such Indemnified Parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by those Indemnified Parties who sold a majority of the Registrable
Shares sold by all such Indemnified Parties (excluding Registrable Shares sold by the Company, the Management Holders or any of their Affiliates) and any such separate firm for the Company, the trustees, the officers and such 

  

 20 

 
control Persons of the Company as shall be designated in writing by the Company). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Party
from and against any loss or Liability resulting from such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of
which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party or the subject thereof and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party
from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. 
  
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this Section 6 is for any reason held to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Liabilities referred to therein (other than by reason of the exceptions provided therein) or is insufficient to hold harmless a party
indemnified thereunder, then each Indemnifying Party under such paragraphs, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Liabilities
(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits of the Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Indemnifying Party(ies) on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Liabilities, or
(ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the
Indemnifying Party(ies) and the Indemnified Party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and any Purchaser Indemnitees on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Purchaser Indemnitees and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
  
 (e) The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata
allocation (even if such Indemnified Parties were treated as one entity for such purpose), or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph 6(d) above. The amount paid or
payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any Liabilities referred to in paragraph 6(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable legal or other expenses actually incurred by such Indemnified Party
in connection with investigating or defending any such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, in no event shall a Purchaser Indemnitee be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which proceeds (net of
discounts and commissions) received by such Purchaser Indemnitee from sales of Registrable Shares exceeds the amount of any damages that such Purchaser Indemnitee has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. For purposes of this Section 6, each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) FBR or a Holder shall have the
same rights to contribution as FBR or such Holder, as the case 

  

 21 

 
may be, and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) the
Company, and each officer, trustee, partner, member, manager, employee, representative or agent of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of
commencement of any Proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties, notify each party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party
or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under this Section 6 or otherwise, except to the extent that any party is actually and materially prejudiced by the
failure to give notice. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act), shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

  
 (f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in
this Section 6 will be in addition to any liability which the Indemnifying Parties may otherwise have to the Indemnified Parties referred to above. The Purchaser Indemnitee’s obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are
several in proportion to the respective number of Registrable Shares sold by each of the Purchaser Indemnitees hereunder and not joint. 
  

	7.	Market Stand-off Agreement 

  
 Each Holder hereby agrees that it shall not, to the extent requested in writing by the Company or a managing underwriter of securities of the Company,
directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell (including without limitation any short sale), pledge, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of
or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Registrable Shares or other Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Shares then owned by such Holder (other than to donees or partners of the Holder who agree
to be similarly bound) for a period commencing up to thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act and ending (x) in the case of the Management Holders, up to
one hundred eighty (180) days following such effective date; and (y) in the case of all other Holders, up to sixty (60) days following such effective date; provided, however, that: 
  
 (a) the restrictions above shall not apply to Registrable Shares sold
pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement; 
  
 (b) all officers
and trustees of the Company then holding Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Shares enter into similar agreements for not less than the entire time period required of the Management Holders
hereunder; and 
  
 (c) the Holders shall be allowed any concession
or proportionate release allowed to any Management Holder or any officer or trustee of the Company that entered into similar agreements (with such proportion being determined by dividing the number of shares being released with respect to such
Management Holder, officer or trustee by the total number of issued and outstanding shares held by such Management Holder, officer or trustee); provided, 

  

 22 

 
that nothing in this Section 7(c) shall be construed as a right to proportionate release for the Management Holders or officers and trustees of the
Company upon the expiration of the sixty (60) day period applicable to all Holders other than the Management Holders, officers and trustees of the Company. 
  

In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company shall have the right to place restrictive legends on the certificates representing the
securities subject to this Section 7 and to impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Shares and such other securities of each Holder (and the securities of every other Person subject to the foregoing restriction) until
the end of such period. 
  

	8.	Termination of the Company’s Obligation 

  
 Subject to Section 10(l), the Company shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Agreement at such time as no Registrable Shares are
outstanding. 
  

	9.	Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights 

  
 From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Holders beneficially
owning not less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Shares, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such
securities in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to the terms hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of
such holder’s or prospective holder’s securities will not reduce the amount of Registrable Shares of the Holders included in the Registration Statement, or (b) to have such holder’s or prospective holder’s securities
registered on a registration statement that could be declared effective prior to, or within sixty (60) days after, the effective date of any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement. 
  

	10.	Miscellaneous 

  
 (a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement, each Holder, in addition to being entitled to
exercise all rights provided herein or, in the case of FBR, in the Initial Purchase/Placement Agreement or the Subsequent Purchase/Placement Agreement, or granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its
rights under this Agreement. Subject to Section 6, the Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agree
that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
  
 (b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, without the written consent of the Company and Holders beneficially owning not less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Shares;
provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 10(b), Registrable Shares that are owned, directly or indirectly, by an Affiliate of the Company shall 

  

 23 

 
not be deemed to be outstanding. No amendment shall be deemed effective unless it applies uniformly to all Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver
or consent to or departure from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect,
impair, limit or compromise the rights of any other Holder may be given by such Holder; provided that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately
preceding sentence. 
  
 (c) Notices. All notices and other
communications, provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing and delivered by facsimile (with receipt confirmed), overnight courier or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by telegram: 
  
 (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by the
transfer agent and registrar of the Common Shares; 
  
 (ii) if to the Company at the offices of the Company at 1818 Market Street, 28th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103, Attention: General Counsel, (facsimile (215) 861-7868); and 
  
 (iii) if to FBR at the offices of FBR at 1001 Nineteenth
Street North, Arlington, Virginia 22209, Attention: Compliance Department, (facsimile: 703-312-9698); with a copy to Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, 1050 Connecticut Ave., NW, Washington, D.C. 20036, Attention: Howard B. Adler, Esq.,
(facsimile: 202-467-0539); 
  
 Receipt of any notice sent pursuant to this
Agreement shall be deemed to occur (x) one (1) Business Day after sending by facsimile (with receipt confirmed), (y) two (2) Business Days after sending by overnight courier or (z) three (3) Business Days after mailing
by the party giving such notice. The Company shall cause the transfer agent to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain current addresses of the Holders. 
  

(d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the
parties hereto, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment or assumption, subsequent Holders. The Company agrees that the Holders shall be third party beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder by FBR and the
Company, and each Holder shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights hereunder; provided, however, that such Holder fulfills all of its
obligations hereunder. 
  
 (e) Share Legend. In addition to
any other legend that may appear on the share certificates evidencing the Registrable Shares, for so long as any Shares remain Registrable Shares each share certificate evidencing such Registrable Shares shall contain a legend to the following
effect: “THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AND ENTITLED TO THE OBLIGATIONS AND BENEFITS OF A CERTAIN AMENDED AND RESTATED REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, DATED AUGUST 11, 2005”. 
  

 24 

 (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
  
 (g) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise
affect the meaning hereof. 
  
 (h) Governing Law.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW BUT EXCLUDING
ALL OTHER CHOICE OF LAW AND CONFLICTS OF LAWS RULES). EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK OR ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT
SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE
AFORESAID COURTS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. 
  
 (i) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use
their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the
intention of the parties hereto that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable. 
  
 (j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Initial
Purchase/Placement Agreement and the Subsequent Purchase/Placement Agreement, is intended by the parties hereto as a final expression of their agreement, and is intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of
the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement supersedes, terminates and replaces all existing stockholders’ agreements and registration rights agreements
relating to the equity securities of the Company. 
  

 25 

 (k) Registrable Shares Held by the Company or its Affiliates. Whenever the consent or approval of,
or a selection by, the Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Shares is required hereunder, Registrable Shares held by the Management Holders, the Company or their Affiliates (excluding, if necessary, FBR) shall not be counted in
determining the number of then outstanding Registrable Shares or the number of Registrable Shares providing such consent, approval or selection. 
  
 (l) Survival. This Agreement is intended to survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Initial Purchase/Placement Agreement
and the Subsequent Purchase/Placement Agreement . The indemnification and contribution obligations under Section 6 and the Company’s obligations under this Section 10 shall survive the termination of the Company’s obligations
under Section 2 and Section 8 of this Agreement. 
  
 (m)
Attorneys’ Fees. In any Proceeding brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or where any provision hereof is validly asserted as a defense, the prevailing party, as determined by the court, shall be entitled to recover its
reasonable attorneys’ fees from the losing party in addition to any other available remedy.

entitled at any time or times.

in any transfer document or record is intended and shall be deemed, first, to refer to the Trustee as custodian on behalf of the Issuer and, second, to refer to the Trustee as secured party on behalf of the Secured Parties; provided, that the
Grant 

  

 2 

 
made by the Issuer to the Trustee pursuant to the Granting Clauses hereof shall apply to any Collateral bearing such designation.

Section 1.2. Assumptions, Calculations and Determinations as to Collateral Debt Securities, Etc. 
  
 (a) The provisions set forth in this Section 1.2 shall be applied in
connection with all calculations or determinations required to be made pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Scheduled Distributions on any Pledged Security, or any payments on any other assets included in the Collateral, and with respect to
the income that can be earned on Scheduled Distributions on such Pledged Securities and on any other amounts that may be received for deposit in the Collection Accounts. 
  
 (b) All calculations and determinations with respect to Scheduled Distributions on the Pledged Securities securing the Notes
shall be made by the Collateral Manager using (in the case of the Collateral Debt Securities) the assumptions that (i) no Pledged Security defaults or is sold, (ii) any clean-up call with respect to a Pledged Security will be exercised
when economic to the Person or Persons entitled to exercise such call, and (iii) no other optional redemption of any Pledged Security will occur except for those that have actually occurred or as to which irrevocable notice thereof shall have
been given. To the extent they are not manifestly in error, any information or report received by the Collateral Manager with respect to a Collateral Debt Security may be conclusively relied upon in making such calculations. 
  
 (c) For purposes of determining compliance with the Coverage Tests, except as
otherwise specified in the Coverage Tests, there shall be excluded all Scheduled Distributions in respect of any Defaulted Security, Deferred Interest Collateral Debt Security or Equity Security or any payment including any Hedge Payment Amounts
payable to the Issuer by the Hedge Counterparty as to which the Collateral Manager has determined in its reasonable judgment will not be made in Cash or will not be received when due. For purposes of calculating each Interest Coverage Ratio:

  
 (i) the expected interest income on Floating
Rate Collateral Debt Securities, Eligible Investments and under the Hedge Agreements and the expected interest payable on the Notes will be calculated using the interest rates applicable thereto on the applicable Measurement Date; 
  

 47 

 (ii) accrued original issue discount on Eligible Investments will be deemed to be a
scheduled interest payment thereon due on the date such original issue discount is scheduled to be paid; and 
  
 (iii) it will be assumed that no principal payments are made on the Notes during the applicable periods. 
  
 (d) For each Due Period, the Scheduled Distribution on any Pledged Security
(other than (A) a Defaulted Security or (B) a Deferred Interest Collateral Debt Security, which in either case, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be assumed to have a Scheduled Distribution of zero) shall be the sum of
(x) the total amount of payments and collections in respect of such Pledged Security that, if paid as scheduled, will be available in the Collection Accounts at the end of the Due Period for payment on the Notes and of certain expenses of the
Issuer and the Co-Issuer, plus (y) any such amounts received in prior Due Periods that were not disbursed on a previous Distribution Date; provided, that such sum shall be computed without regard to any amounts excluded from the
determination of compliance with the Coverage Tests pursuant to Section 1.2(c). 
  
 (e) Subject to Section 1.2(c), each Scheduled Distribution receivable with respect to a Pledged Security 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 Interest Collection Account or the Principal Collection Account, as the case may be. 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 Accounts for transfer to the Payment Account and application, in accordance with the terms hereof, to payments of principal of or interest on the Notes or other amounts payable pursuant to this Indenture. 
  
 (f) With respect to any Collateral Debt Security as to which any interest or
other payment thereon is subject to withholding tax of any Relevant Jurisdiction, each Distribution thereon shall, for purposes of the Coverage Tests, be deemed to be payable net of such withholding tax unless the issuer thereof or obligor thereon
is required to make additional payments sufficient on an after tax basis to cover any withholding tax imposed on payments to the Issuer with respect thereto. On any date of determination, the amount of any Scheduled Distribution due on any future
date shall be assumed to be made net of any such uncompensated withholding tax based upon withholding tax rates in effect on such date of determination. 
  
 (g) Any reference in the definition of “Base Collateral Management Fee” or “Subordinate Collateral Management Fee” in
Section 1.1(a) to an amount calculated with respect to a period at a per annum rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
  

 48 

 (h) For the purpose of determining any payment to be made on any Distribution Date pursuant to any
applicable clause of Section 11.1(a), any Coverage Test referred to in such clause shall be calculated as of the relevant Distribution Date after giving effect to all payments to be made on such Distribution Date prior to such payment in
accordance with such clause of Section 11.1(a). In addition, for purposes of determining whether any Interest Coverage Test is satisfied pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i), if a payment of principal of any Class of Notes is to be made at the
same level or at a more senior level in the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 11.1(a)(i), then the related Interest Coverage Ratio shall be calculated on a pro forma basis on the assumption that (i) such payment of principal
had been made on the immediately preceding Distribution Date and (ii) the Interest Distribution Amount for such Class of Notes for the current Distribution Date was correspondingly reduced to reflect the lower Aggregate Outstanding Principal
Amount of such Class of Notes. 
  
 (i) For the purpose of
interpreting the definitions of Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds, all payments of interest received or amounts collected that are attributable to interest received on the Collateral Debt Securities during the relevant Due Period shall be
excluded from Interest Proceeds and included in Principal Proceeds to the extent such payments or amounts constitute accrued interest purchased with Principal Proceeds.

and reports deliverable to a Holder, a beneficial owner of an interest in a Note or Combination Note that provides certification of ownership in the form of Exhibit L will be considered an owner of such Note or Combination Note to the extent of such
investor’s beneficial interest therein. Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest on, a Global Note registered in the name of a nominee of DTC will be payable by the Trustee to DTC or its nominee as the registered holder of such
Note or Combination Note hereunder. Consequently, none of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee or any of their respective agents has or will have any responsibility or liability for (i) any aspect of DTC’s records or any direct
participant’s or indirect participant’s records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in any Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC’s records or any direct
participant’s or indirect participant’s records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in any Global Note or (ii) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its direct participants or indirect

and Combination Notes as provided in this Indenture and not otherwise.

conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
  
 Section 2.4. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Notes and Combination Notes.

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

 57

Corporate Trust Office or at the office of any Transfer Agent, together with (x) in the case of any transfer, an executed instrument of assignment and (y) in the case of any exchange, a written request for exchange. Following a proper

 (ix) For so long as one or more Global Notes are
Outstanding: 
  
 (A) the Trustee and its
directors, Officers, employees and agents may deal with the Depositary for all purposes (including the making of distributions on, and the giving of notices with respect to, the Global Notes); 
  
 (B) unless otherwise provided herein, the rights of
Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Depositary; 
  
 (C) for purposes of determining the identity of and principal amount of Notes beneficially owned by a
Beneficial Owner, the records of the Depositary shall be conclusive evidence of such identity and principal amount and the Trustee may conclusively rely on such records when acting hereunder and none of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee or any
of their respective agents shall have any responsibility or liability for (i) any aspect of DTC’s records or any direct participant’s or indirect participant’s records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial
ownership interests in any Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC’s records or any direct participant’s or indirect participant’s records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in any Global Note

 (c) Representations. Each purchaser of a Definitive Note (or any
beneficial interest therein) will be required to acknowledge, represent to and agree with the Co-Issuers, as applicable, and the Placement Agent and each purchaser of a beneficial interest in a Global Note will be deemed to acknowledge, represent to
and agree with the Co-Issuers and the Placement Agent, as follows: 
  
 (1) No Governmental Approval. The purchaser understands that the Notes and Combination Notes have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC or any other governmental authority or agency of any jurisdiction,
nor has the SEC or any other governmental authority or agency passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the Offering Circular. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. 
  
 (2) Certification Upon Transfer. If required by the other provisions of this Section 2.4, the
purchaser will, prior to any sale, pledge or other transfer by it of any Note or Combination Note (or any interest therein), obtain from the transferee and deliver to the Co-Issuers and the Note Registrar a duly executed Regulation S Note Transfer
Certificate, Regulation S Combination Note Transfer Certificate, Rule 144A Transfer Certificate or Rule 144A Combination Note Transfer Certificate, as applicable, addressed to each of the Trustee, the Co-Issuers, the Note Registrar and the
Collateral Manager and such other certificates and other information as the Co-Issuers, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee or the Note Registrar may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer substantially complies with the transfer
restrictions contained herein. 
  
 (3) Minimum
Denominations; Form of Notes and Combination Notes. The purchaser agrees that no Note or Combination Note (or any interest therein) may be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred in a denomination of less than the applicable minimum denomination
set forth herein. 
  
 (4) Securities Law
Limitations on Resale. The purchaser understands that the Notes and Combination Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. Persons (as defined in Rule 902(k)
promulgated under the Securities Act) unless they are registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is available. Accordingly, the certificates representing the Notes and Combination Notes will bear a legend stating
that such Notes and Combination Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and setting forth certain of the restrictions on transfer of the Notes, as the case may be, described herein. The purchaser understands that the Co-Issuers have
no obligation to register any of the Notes and Combination Notes under the Securities Act or to comply with the requirements for any exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (other than to supply Rule 144A Information
pursuant to Section 7.14). 
  
 (5)
Qualified Institutional Buyer, Accredited Investor or Non-U.S. Person Status; Investment Intent. In the case of a purchaser who takes delivery of Notes in the form of a Restricted Global Note or Combination Notes in the form of a Restricted

  

 60 

 
Definitive Combination Note, it is a Qualified Institutional Buyer (or, in the case of the initial purchaser thereof, an Accredited Investor and is acquiring
the Notes or Combination Notes for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof (except in accordance with Rule 144A). In the case of a purchaser who takes delivery of Notes in the form of a Regulation S
Note or Combination Notes in the form of a Regulation S Combination Note, it is not a U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S) and it is purchasing such Notes or Combination Notes (or interest therein) for its own account and not for the account or
benefit of a U.S. Person. 
  
 (6) Purchaser
Sophistication; Non-Reliance; Suitability; Access to Information. The purchaser (a) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks (including for tax,
legal, regulatory, accounting and other financial purposes) of its prospective investment in Notes, (b) is financially able to bear such risk, (c) in making such investment is not relying on the advice or recommendations of the Placement
Agent, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or any of their respective affiliates (or any representative of any of the foregoing) and (d) has determined that an investment in Notes or Combination Notes is suitable and appropriate
for it. The initial purchaser has received, and has had an adequate opportunity to review the contents of, the Offering Circular. The purchaser has had access to such financial and other information concerning the Co-Issuers, the Preferred Shares,
the Notes and the Combination Notes as it has deemed necessary to make its own independent decision to purchase Notes or Combination Notes, including the opportunity, at a reasonable time prior to its purchase of Notes or Combination Notes, to ask
questions and receive answers concerning the Co-Issuers and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Notes or Combination Notes as applicable. 
  
 (7) Certain Resale Limitations; Rule 144A. No Note or Combination Note (or any interest therein) may be offered, sold, pledged or
otherwise transferred to (i) a transferee acquiring a Restricted Note except (a) (i) to an Accredited Investor in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act or (ii) to a transferee that the seller reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, purchasing for its own account, to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or other transfer is being made in reliance on the
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A (or, in the case of the initial sale of such Notes or Combination Notes, to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act), (b) to a Qualified Purchaser, (c) to a transferee that is not a Flow-Through Investment Vehicle (other than a Qualifying Investment Vehicle), (d) if such transfer is made in compliance with the certification and other
requirements set forth in this Indenture and (e) if such transfer is made in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and any other relevant jurisdiction or (ii) a transferee acquiring an interest in
a Regulation S Note or Regulation S Combination Note except (a) to a transferee that is acquiring such interest in an offshore transaction (within the meaning of Regulation S) in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S, (b) to a
transferee that is not a U.S. Person unless such transferee is a Qualified Purchaser, (c) to a transferee that is not a Flow-Through 

  

 61 

 
Investment Vehicle (other than a Qualifying Investment Vehicle), (d) if such transfer is made in compliance with the other requirements set forth in
this Indenture and (e) if such transfer is made in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and any other relevant jurisdiction. 
  
 (8) Limited Liquidity. The purchaser understands that there is no market for Notes or Combination
Notes and that no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of any trading market for Notes or Combination Notes and that it is unlikely that a trading market for any of the Notes or Combination Notes will develop. The purchaser further understands
that, although the Placement Agent may from time to time make a market in Notes or Combination Notes, the Placement Agent is under no obligation to do so and, following the commencement of any market-making, may discontinue such market-making at any
time. Accordingly, the purchaser must be prepared to hold Notes or Combination Notes for an indefinite period of time or until their maturity. 
  
 (9) Investment Company Act. The purchaser either (a) is not a U.S. Person or (b) is a Qualified Purchaser. The purchaser
agrees that no sale, pledge or other transfer of a Note, Combination Note or Preferred Share (or any interest therein) may be made (a) unless such transfer is made to a transferee who, if a U.S. Person is a Qualified Purchaser or (b) if
such transfer would have the effect of requiring either of the Co-Issuers or the Collateral to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. If the purchaser is a U.S. Person that is an entity that would be an investment
company but for the exception provided for in Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act (any such entity, an “excepted investment company”): (x) all of the beneficial owners of outstanding securities
(other than short-term paper) of such entity (such beneficial owners determined in accordance with Section 3(c)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) that acquired such securities on or before April 30, 1996 (“pre-amendment beneficial
owners”); and (y) all pre-amendment beneficial owners of the outstanding securities (other than short-term paper) of any excepted investment company that, directly or indirectly, owns any outstanding securities of such entity, have
consented to such entity’s treatment as a “qualified purchaser” in accordance with the Investment Company Act. 
  
 Each purchaser of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note or Restricted Definitive Combination Note is hereby deemed to
represent at the time of purchase that: (i) the purchaser is both (x) a Qualified Institutional Buyer (or, in the case of an initial purchaser of an interest in a Restricted Global Note or Restricted Definitive Combination Note, an
Accredited Investor) and (y) a Qualified Purchaser; (ii) the purchaser is not a dealer described in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of Rule 144A unless such purchaser owns and invests on a discretionary basis at least U.S.$25,000,000 in securities of
issuers that are not affiliated persons of the dealer; (iii) the purchaser is not a plan referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(D) or (a)(1)(i)(E) of Rule 144A, or a trust fund referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(F) of Rule 144A that holds the
assets of such a plan, unless investment decisions with respect to the plan are made solely by the fiduciary, trustee or sponsor of such plan; and (iv) the purchaser will provide written notice of the foregoing, and of any applicable
restrictions on transfer, to any transferee. 
  

 62

V Combination Note or Series VI 3ML + 0.47% Combination Note (or an interest in any of the foregoing), either (i) it is not (and for so long as it holds such Note or Combination Note will not be), and is not acting on behalf of (and for so long

the Code, an entity deemed to hold plan assets of any of the foregoing, or a governmental plan or foreign plan which is subject to any applicable law that is substantially similar to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) its purchase,
holding and disposition of the Note or Combination Note will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or, in the case of a governmental or foreign plan, any substantially
similar applicable law). 
  
 (b) Each initial
purchaser of a Series I 2.00% Deferrable Combination Note, Series II Deferrable Combination Note, Series III 2.00% Combination Note or Series IV 1.75% Combination Note (or an interest in any of the foregoing) will be required to represent and
warrant that it is not (and for so long as it holds such Combination Note will not be), and is not acting on behalf of (and for so long as it holds such Combination Note will not be acting on behalf of), an “employee benefit plan” as
defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, a “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or an entity which is deemed to hold plan assets of any of the foregoing. 
  
 (c) Each transferee of a Series I 2.00% Deferrable
Combination Note, Series II Deferrable Combination Note, Series III 2.00% Combination Note or Series IV 1.75% Combination Note that is a Restricted Combination Note (or an interest in any of the foregoing) other than an initial purchaser of such
Restricted Combination Note will be required to represent and warrant that it is not (and for so long as it holds such Restricted Combination Note will not be), and is not acting on behalf of (and for so long as it holds such Restricted Combination
Note will not be acting on behalf of), (i) an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA (whether or not subject to ERISA, and including, without limitation, foreign and governmental plans), a “plan”
described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, or an entity which is deemed to hold plan assets of any of the foregoing by reason of investment by an employee benefit plan or plan in such entity (including, without limitation, insurance company
general accounts) (each of the foregoing, a “Benefit Plan Investor”), or (ii) any other person (other than a Benefit Plan Investor) that has discretionary authority or control with respect to the assets of the Issuer or a person who
provides investment advice for a fee (direct or indirect) with respect to the assets of the Issuer, or any “Affiliate” (as defined in 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101(f)(3)) of any such person (each, a “Controlling Person”). 
  
 (d) In addition, if the Series I 2.00% Deferrable
Combination Note, Series II Deferrable Combination Note, Series III 2.00% Combination Note or Series IV 1.75% Combination Note is a Regulation S Combination Note, each purchaser represents, warrants and covenants that it will not transfer such
Regulation S Combination Note without providing the Trustee with a written certification for the benefit of the Trustee and the Issuer from the transferee that it satisfies the requirements in the preceding 

  

 63 

 
paragraph and that such transferee will obtain the same representation, warranty and covenant from its transferee. 
  
 (11) Limitations on Flow-Through Status. The
purchaser hereby represents that, unless the purchaser is a Qualifying Investment Vehicle, (a) if the purchaser would be an investment company but for the exception in Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act,
the amount of the purchaser’s investment in the Notes, Combination Notes and the Preferred Shares does not exceed 40% of the total assets (determined on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries) of the purchaser; (b) no person owning any
equity or similar interest in the purchaser has the ability to control any investment decision of the purchaser or to determine, on an investment-by-investment basis, the amount of such person’s contribution to any investment made by the
purchaser; (c) the purchaser was not organized or reorganized for the specific purpose of acquiring a Note or Combination Note; and (d) no additional capital or similar contributions were specifically solicited from any person owning an
equity or similar interest in the purchaser for the purpose of enabling the purchaser to purchase Notes or Combination Notes (any such transferee in (a), (b), (c) or (d) above being herein referred to as a “Flow-Through Investment
Vehicle”). If the purchaser is a Flow-Through Investment Vehicle, the purchaser represents and warrants that either (a) none of the beneficial owners of its securities are U.S. Persons or (b) some or all of the beneficial owners of
its securities are U.S. Persons and each such beneficial owner has certified to the purchaser that it is a Qualified Purchaser. If the purchaser is a Flow-Through Investment Vehicle, the purchaser also represents and warrants that it has only one
class of securities outstanding (other than any nominal share capital the distributions in respect of which are not correlated to or dependent upon distributions on, or the performance of, the Notes or Combination Notes, as applicable). 

 
 (12) Certain Transfers Void. In the case of a
purchaser who takes delivery of Notes or Combination Notes in the form of a Restricted Definitive Note, Restricted Definitive Combination Note or an interest in a Restricted Global Note, the purchaser agrees that (a) any sale, pledge or other
transfer of a Note (or any interest therein) made in violation of the transfer restrictions contained in this Indenture, or made based upon any false or inaccurate representation made by the purchaser or a transferee to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer,
the Trustee or the Note Registrar, will be void and of no force or effect and (b) none of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee or the Note Registrar has any obligation to recognize any sale, pledge or other transfer of a Note (or any interest

 72 

 
Qualifying Investment Vehicle and no transfer of a Note may be made to any investor that is not a Qualified Purchaser. Any purported transfer that is not in
compliance with this Section 2.4 will be void ab initio.

Note (or any interest therein) (A) is a U.S. Person and (B) was not a Qualified Purchaser at the time of its acquisition thereof, then either of the Co-Issuers may require, by notice to such holder, that such holder sell all of its right,
title and interest in such Restricted Definitive Note or such Restricted Global Note (or interest therein) to a Person that is both a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser with such sale, to be effected within 30 days after notice
of such sale requirement is given. If such beneficial owner fails to effect the transfer required within such 30-day period, (i) upon direction from the Issuer, the Trustee (on behalf of and at the expense of the Issuer) shall cause such
beneficial owner’s interest in such Note or Combination Note to be transferred in a commercially reasonable sale (conducted by the Trustee in accordance with Section 9-610(b) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New
York) to a person that certifies to the Trustee, the Co-Issuers and the Collateral Manager, in connection with such transfer, that such person is a both Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser and (ii) pending such transfer, no
further payments will be made in respect of such Note held by such beneficial owner. 
  
 (e) Legends. Any Note issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes shall bear such applicable legend set forth in the relevant exhibit hereto unless there is delivered to the Trustee, the Note
Registrar, the Collateral Manager, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel, as may be reasonably required by any of the Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer to the effect
that neither such applicable legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of an applicable exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act, to
ensure that neither the Issuer nor the pool of Collateral becomes an investment company required to be registered under the Investment Company Act and to ensure that the Co-Issuers are not adversely effected regarding tax or ERISA issues. Upon
provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Trustee, at the direction of the Co-Issuers, shall authenticate and deliver Notes that do not bear such applicable legend. 
  
 (f) Expenses; Acknowledgment of Transfer. Transfer, registration and exchange shall be permitted as provided in this
Section 2.4 without any charge to the Holder except for the expenses of delivery (if any) not made by regular mail. Registration of the transfer of a Note or Combination Note by the Trustee shall be deemed to be the acknowledgment of such
transfer on behalf of the Co-Issuers. 
  
 (g) Surrender upon
Final Payment. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of a Note or Combination Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the office of any Paying Agent. 
  
 (h) Repurchase and Cancellation of Notes. The Co-Issuers will not
purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the Outstanding Notes or Combination Note except upon the redemption of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and 

  

 73 

 
the Notes or Combination Notes. The Co-Issuers will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by them pursuant to any payment, purchase, redemption, prepayment or
other acquisition of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Indenture and no Notes or Combination Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes or Combination Notes. 
  
 (i) Compliance with Transfer Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the
Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with the registration provisions of or exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws, the rules of any Depositary, ERISA, the
Code or the Investment Company Act; provided, that if a certificate is specifically required by the express terms of this Section 2.4 to be delivered to the Trustee or the Note Registrar by a purchaser or transferee of a Note or
Combination Note, the Trustee or the Note Registrar, as the case may be, shall be under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether the certificate substantially complies on its face with the express terms of this Indenture and shall
promptly notify the party delivering the same if such transfer does not comply with such terms. 
  
 (j) Physical Notes and Combination Notes. The Co-Issuers will promptly make available to the Trustee without charge a reasonable supply of
Definitive Notes in definitive, fully Registered Form, without interest coupons. 
  
 Section 2.5. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes or Combination Notes. 
  
 If (a) any mutilated or defaced Note or Combination Notes is surrendered to a Transfer Agent, or if there shall be delivered to the Co-Issuers, the
Trustee and the Transfer Agent (each, a “Specified Person”) evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note or Combination Note and (b) there is delivered to the Specified Persons such security
or indemnity as may reasonably be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Specified Persons that such Note or Combination Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Co-Issuers shall execute and
shall direct the Trustee to authenticate, and upon Issuer Request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note or Combination Note, a new Note of like tenor as such mutilated,
defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note or Combination Note, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal amount, registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication, bearing interest from the date to which
interest has been paid on the mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note or Combination Note and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
  
 If, after delivery of such new Note or Combination Note, a bona fide purchaser of the predecessor Note or Combination Note presents for payment, transfer
or exchange such predecessor Note or Combination Note, the Specified Persons shall be entitled to recover such new Note or Combination Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, and shall be entitled to recover
upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Specified Persons in connection therewith. 
  

 74 

 In case any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note or Combination Note has become due
and payable, the Co-Issuers in their discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note or Combination Note, pay such Note or Combination Note without requiring surrender thereof except that any mutilated Note shall be surrendered. 
  
 Upon the issuance of any new Note or Combination Note under this
Section 2.5, the Co-Issuers, the Trustee or any Transfer Agent may require the payment by the registered Holder thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
  
 Every new Note or Combination Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.5 in lieu of any mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note or Combination Note shall constitute an original additional contractual
obligation of the Co-Issuers and such new Note or Combination Note shall be entitled, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 2.5, to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes or
Combination Notes duly issued hereunder. 
  
 The provisions of
this Section 2.5 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes or Combination Notes. 
  
 Section 2.6. Payment of Principal and Interest; Rights Preserved.

  
 Each Class of Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest
Period applicable to such Class at the applicable Note Interest Rate specified in Section 2.2. Interest on each Class of Notes shall be due and payable on each Distribution Date; provided, that (i) payment of interest on the
Class A-2 Notes is subordinated to the payment on each Distribution Date of the interest due and payable on the Class A-1 Notes (together with Defaulted Interest thereon and interest on such Defaulted Interest, if any), (ii) payment

Holders of Series I 2.00% Deferrable Combination Notes in and to the Series I Note Component or the Series I Preferred Shares Component, including payments or distributions made in respect thereof, or (iv) the U.S. federal income tax and
financial statement treatment or reporting of payments or distributions made in respect of the Series I 2.00% Deferrable Combination Notes;

 (vi) The indicated rating of the
Combination Notes on the Closing Date addresses the ultimate payment of the applicable Combination Note Rated Balance in respect thereof; 
  
 (vii) If an owner of a Combination Note wishes at any time to exchange such Combination Note for the Classes represented by its

 Upon receipt by the Note Registrar and the Preferred Shares Paying Agent of the documents referred to in the preceding
sentence, (i) the Note Registrar shall cancel such Combination Note, record the exchange in the Note Register in accordance with Section 2.8, instruct the Issuer to execute, and thereafter authenticate and deliver Notes representing the

 Section 5.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 
  
 (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(f) or 5.1(g)), with the consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class, the Trustee may and, at the
direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, the Trustee shall, declare the principal of all of the Notes 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. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(a) or 5.1(b) occurs and is continuing solely with respect to a default in the
payment of any principal of or interest on Notes of a Class other than the Controlling Class, neither the Trustee nor the Holders of such non-Controlling Class shall have the right to declare such principal and other amounts to be immediately due
and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(f) or 5.1(g) occurs, all unpaid principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of all the Notes, and 

  

 92 

 
other amounts payable hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any
Noteholder. 
  
 (b) At any time after such a declaration of
acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the Money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Section 5, a Majority of the Controlling Class, by written notice to the
Co-Issuers and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
  
 (i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: 
  
 (A) all overdue installments of principal of and interest on
the Notes, 
  
 (B) interest upon the Class C
Deferred Interest at the applicable Note Interest Rate, interest upon the Class D Deferred Interest at the applicable Note Interest Rate, interest upon the Class E Deferred Interest at the applicable Note Interest Rate and, to the extent that
payment of such interest is lawful, upon Defaulted Interest at the applicable Note Interest Rate, 
  
 (C) any accrued and unpaid amounts (including termination payments, if any) payable by the Issuer pursuant to the Hedge Agreements, and

  
 (D) all unpaid taxes and administrative
expenses and other sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; 
  
 (ii) the Trustee has determined that all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of or
interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured and a Majority of the Controlling Class by written notice to the Trustee has agreed with such determination or waived such Default or Event of Default as
provided in Section 5.14; and 
  
 (iii) the
Hedge Agreements in effect at the time of a declaration of an acceleration shall remain in effect until liquidation of the Collateral has begun and such declaration is no longer capable of being rescinded or annulled. 
  
 At any such time as the Trustee shall rescind and annul such declaration and
its consequences, the Trustee shall preserve the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5; provided that, if such preservation of the Collateral is rescinded pursuant to Section 5.5, the Notes may be accelerated
pursuant to Section 5.2(a), notwithstanding any previous rescission and annulment of a declaration of acceleration pursuant to this Section 5.2(b). 
  
 No such rescission and annulment shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 Section 5.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Trustee. 
  
 The Co-Issuers covenant that if a Default shall
occur in respect of the payment of any principal of or interest on any Class A Note or Class B Note, the payment of principal of or 

  

 93 

 
interest on any Class C Note, or Class D Note or Class E Note (but with respect to interest, only after the Class A Notes, and the Class B Notes and, as
applicable, the Class C Notes and the Class D Notes, and all interest accrued thereon have been paid in full), as applicable, the Co-Issuers will upon demand of the Trustee or any affected Noteholder, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Holder of such Note, the whole amount, if any, then due and payable on such Note 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 Note Interest Rate and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee and such Noteholder and their respective agents and counsel. 
  
 If the Issuer or the Co-Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due
and unpaid, and may, and shall, upon the direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class, prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Co-Issuers or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the
Monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Collateral. 
  
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Secured Parties by such appropriate Proceedings as the Trustee shall
deem most effectual (if no direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class is received by the Trustee) or as the Trustee may be directed by a Majority of the Controlling Class, to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific
enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 
  
 In case there shall be pending Proceedings relative to the Issuer or the
Co-Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes 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, the Co-Issuer or their respective property or such other obligor or its property, or in case of any other comparable Proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer
or other obligor upon the Notes, or the creditors or property of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, regardless of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and regardless of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.3, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise: 
  
 (a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes 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 Trustee (including any claim for
reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor

  

 94 

 
Trustee) and of the Noteholders allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes and the Hedge Agreements or
to the creditors or property of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or such other obligor; 
  
 (b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of the Notes, upon the direction of such Holders, in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement,
reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency Proceedings or person performing similar functions in comparable Proceedings; and 
  
 (c) to collect and receive any Monies or other property payable to or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect
to the claims of the Noteholders and of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and the Trustee; and any trustee, receiver or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Noteholders to make payments to the
Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and
their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith. 
  
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such Proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person. 
  
 All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any
of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any action or Proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject
to the payment of the reasonable expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor trustee and their respective agents and attorneys and counsel, shall be for the benefit of the Secured Parties and payable to the Secured
Parties in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

Proceedings brought by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders, the Trustee shall be held to represent, subject to Section 6.17, all the Secured Parties.

any manner permitted by law and in accordance with Section 5.17; 
  
 (iii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Collateral; 
  
 (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 Secured Parties hereunder; and 
  
 (v) exercise any other rights and remedies that may be available at law or in equity; 
  
 provided, that the Trustee may not sell or liquidate the Collateral or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.4 except in
accordance with Section 5.5(a). 
  
 The Trustee may, but need
not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation 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 Collateral to make the required payments of principal of and interest on the Notes, which opinion shall be conclusive evidence as to such feasibility or sufficiency. 
  
 (b) If an Event of Default as described in Section 5.1(e) shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, and at the request of the Holders of not less than 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Controlling Class or the Hedge Counterparty shall, institute a Proceeding solely to compel
performance of the covenant or agreement or to cure the representation or warranty, the breach of which gave rise to the Event of Default under such Section, and enforce any equitable decree or order arising from such proceeding. 
  
 (c) Upon any sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by
virtue of judicial proceedings, any Noteholder or Noteholders may bid for and purchase the Collateral 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 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

  

 96 

 
their purchase Money, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obliged to see to the application thereof. 
  
 Any such sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of
judicial proceedings, shall bind the Co-Issuers, the Trustee, the Hedge Counterparty and the Noteholders, shall operate to divest all right, title and interest whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of each of them in and to the property sold, and
shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each of them and their successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming through or under them. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee may not, prior to the date which is one year and one
day, or if longer the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all Notes, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under federal or state bankruptcy or similar laws. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Trustee (i) from taking any action prior to
the expiration of the aforementioned one year and one day period, or if longer the applicable preference period then in effect, in (A) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or (B) any
involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Trustee or (ii) from commencing against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or any of its properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency, moratorium, liquidation or similar proceeding. 
  
 Section 5.5. Preservation of Collateral. 
  
 (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing when any Class of Notes is Outstanding, the Trustee shall retain the Collateral securing the Notes 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 Collateral and the Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the provisions of Sections 10, 12 and 13 unless: 
  
 (i) the Trustee determines that the anticipated proceeds of
a sale or liquidation of the Collateral (after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation) would be sufficient to discharge in full the amounts then due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, interest (including Class C Deferred
Interest, Class D Deferred Interest, Class E Deferred Interest, Defaulted Interest and interest on Defaulted Interest, if any), due and unpaid administrative expenses as limited by clause (2) of Section 11.1(a)(i) and any accrued and
unpaid Hedge Payment Amounts payable by the Issuer pursuant to the Hedge Agreements, including termination payments (assuming, for this purpose, that each Hedge Agreement has been terminated by reason of an event of default or termination with
respect to the Issuer); or 
  
 (ii) if the
Holders of at least 66-2/3% in Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of each Class of Notes voting as a separate Class direct, subject to the provisions hereof, the sale and liquidation of the Collateral. 
  

 97 

 The Trustee shall give written notice of the retention of the Collateral to the Issuer, with a copy to
the Co-Issuer, the Hedge Counterparty and the Collateral Manager. So long as such Event of Default is continuing, any such retention pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) may be rescinded at any time when the conditions specified in clause
(i) or (ii) exist. 
  
 (b) Nothing contained in
Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee to preserve the Collateral securing the Notes if prohibited by applicable law. 
  
 (c) In determining whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, (i) the Trustee shall obtain bid prices with respect to each
security contained in the Collateral from two nationally recognized dealers, as specified by the Collateral Manager in writing, which are Independent from each other and the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates, at the time making a market in such
securities and shall compute the anticipated proceeds of sale or liquidation on the basis of the lower of such bid prices for each such security and (ii) such condition will be deemed not to exist if the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in Aggregate
Outstanding Principal Amount of the Controlling Class give notice to the Trustee to the effect that the Trustee has not followed the procedures set forth in this Indenture in making the relevant determinations required pursuant to
Section 5.5(a)(i). For the purposes of making the determinations required pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i), the Trustee shall apply the standards set forth in Section 9.1(b). In addition, for the purposes of determining issues relating
to the execution of a sale or liquidation of the Pledged Securities and the execution of a sale or other liquidation thereof in connection with a determination whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Trustee may retain
and rely on an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation. 
  
 The Trustee shall deliver to the Noteholders, the Collateral Manager, the Hedge Counterparty and the Co-Issuers a report stating the results of any determination required pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i) no later
than 10 days after making such determination. The Trustee shall make the determinations required by Section 5.5(a)(i) within 30 days after an Event of Default and at the request of a Majority of the Controlling Class at any time during which
the Trustee retains the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i). In the case of each calculation made by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i), the Trustee shall obtain a letter of an Independent certified public accountant confirming
the accuracy of the computations of the Trustee and certifying their conformity to the requirements of this Indenture. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of any Class of Notes have given any
direction or notice or have agreed pursuant to Section 5.5(a), any Holder of a Note of a Class who is also a Holder of Notes of another Class or any Affiliate of any such Holder shall be counted as a Holder of each such Note for all purposes.

  
 (d) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing at a time when no Note is Outstanding, the Trustee shall retain the Collateral securing the Notes 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 Collateral and the Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the provisions of Section 10 and Section 12 unless a Majority-in-Interest of Preferred Shareholders direct the sale and liquidation of the Collateral.

  

 98 

 Section 5.6. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. 
  
 All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be
prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any Proceeding relating thereto, and any such Proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an
express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7. 
  
 Section 5.7. Application of Money Collected. 
  
 Any Money collected by the Trustee with respect to the Notes pursuant to this Section 5 and any Money that may then be held or thereafter received by the Trustee with respect to the Notes hereunder shall be
applied subject to Section 13.1 and in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee. 
  
 Section 5.8. Limitation on Suits. 
  
 No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of
a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
  
 (a) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default; 
  
 (b) except as otherwise provided in Section 5.9, the Holders of at least 25% in Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Controlling Class shall
have made written request to the Trustee to institute Proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder and such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
  
 (c) the Trustee for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such Proceeding; and 
  
 (d) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 30-day period by a Majority of the Controlling Class;

  
 it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders
of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference
over any other Holders of the Notes or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Notes of the same Class subject to and in accordance with
Section 13.1 and the Priority of Payments. 
  
 If the Trustee
shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of the Controlling Class, each representing less than a Majority of the Controlling Class, the Trustee shall follow the instructions of the group

  

 99 

 
representing the higher percentage of interest in the Controlling Class, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture. 
  
 Section 5.9. Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal
and Interest. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Indenture (other than Section 2.6(i)), the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Note as such principal and interest become due and payable in
accordance with Section 13.1 and the Priority of Payments 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. 
  
 Section 5.10. Restoration of Rights and
Remedies. 
  
 If the Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted
any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the
Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Noteholder shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Secured Parties shall
continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted. 
  
 Section 5.11. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
  
 No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Noteholders or Hedge Counterparty 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 by law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  
 Section 5.12. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
  
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Noteholder or Hedge Counterparty 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. Every right and remedy given by this Section 5 or by law to the Trustee or to the Noteholders or Hedge Counterparty may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the
Noteholders or Hedge Counterparty, as the case may be. 
  
 Section 5.13. Control by Controlling Class. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (but subject to the proviso in the definition of “Outstanding” in Section 1.1(a)), a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right to cause the institution of and
direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee for exercising any trust, right, remedy or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, that: 
  
 (a) such direction shall not conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture; 
  

 100 

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

  
 (c) the Trustee shall have been provided with indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it; and 
  
 (d) any direction to the
Trustee to undertake a Sale of the Collateral shall be made only pursuant to, and in accordance with, Sections 5.4 and 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 Trustee, as provided in this Section 5, a Majority of
the Controlling Class may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, acting with the consent of the Hedge Counterparty, waive any past Default and its consequences, except a Default: 
  
 (a) in the payment of the principal of any Note or in the payment of interest (including Defaulted Interest and interest on
Defaulted Interest, if any) on the Class A Notes or Class B Notes or, after the Class A Notes and Class B Notes have been paid in full, on the Class C Notes, or, after the Class C Notes have been paid in full, on the Class D Notes or,
after the Class D Notes have been paid in full, on the Class E Notes (including Class C Deferred Interest, Class D Deferred Interest, Class E Deferred Interest, Defaulted Interest and interest on Defaulted Interest, if any); or 
  
 (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Section 8.2
cannot be modified or amended without the waiver or consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby; or 
  
 (c) arising under Section 5.1(f) or 5.1(g). 
  
 In the case of any such waiver, (i) the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto and (ii) the Trustee shall promptly give written notice of any such waiver to the Collateral Manager, the
Preferred Share Paying Agent and each Holder of Notes. The Rating Agencies shall be promptly notified in writing by the Issuer of any such waiver. 
  
 Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose
of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
  

 101 

 Section 5.15. Undertaking for Costs. 
  
 All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, or omitted by it
as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in
such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee or any Noteholder, or group of
Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Controlling Class, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or
after the Stated Maturity expressed in such Note (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date). 
  
 Section 5.16. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. 
  
 Each of the Co-Issuers covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force (including filing a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and by the voluntary commencement
of a proceeding or the filing of a petition seeking winding up, liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect), which may affect the covenants, the performance of
or any remedies under this Indenture; and each of the Co-Issuers (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein Granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
  
 Section 5.17. Sale of Collateral. 
  
 (a) The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Collateral pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5 shall not be exhausted by any one
or more Sales as to any portion of such Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Collateral shall have been sold or all amounts secured by the Collateral shall have been paid. The Trustee may upon notice to the
Noteholders and the Hedge Counterparty, and shall, upon direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class from time to time postpone any Sale by announcement made at the time and place of such Sale; provided that, if the Sale is rescheduled
for a date more than 10 Business Days after the date of the determination by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.5, such Sale shall not occur unless and until the Trustee has again made the determination required by Section 5.5. The Trustee
hereby expressly waives its rights to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale; provided, that the Trustee shall be authorized to deduct the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by it in connection with such Sale from
the proceeds thereof notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7. 
  

 102 

 (b) The Trustee may bid for and acquire any portion of the Collateral in connection with a public Sale
thereof, by crediting all or part of the net proceeds of such Sale after deducting the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such Sale notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7. The Notes need not
be produced in order to complete any such Sale, or in order for the net proceeds of such Sale to be credited against amounts owing on the Notes. The Trustee may hold, lease, operate, manage or otherwise deal with any properly so acquired in any
manner permitted by law in accordance with this Indenture. 
  
 (c)
If any portion of the Collateral consists of securities not registered under the Securities Act (“Unregistered Securities”), the Trustee may seek an Opinion of Counsel, or, if no such Opinion of Counsel can be obtained and with the consent
of a Majority of the Controlling Class, seek a no-action position from the United States 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 (the costs of which, in each case, shall be reimbursable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.8). 
  
 (d) The Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection
with a sale thereof. In addition, the Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a sale thereof, and to take all action
necessary to effect such sale. No purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee’s authority, to inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any Monies. 
  
 Section 5.18. Action on the Notes. 
  
 The Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under
this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking or obtaining of or application for any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Secured Parties shall be impaired
by the recovery of any judgment by the Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral or upon any of the assets of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer. 
  
 ARTICLE VI 
  
 THE TRUSTEE 
  
 Section 6.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 
  
 (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 
  
 (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only
such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
  

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements 

  

 103 

 
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 Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform to the requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly, but in any event within three Business Days in the case
of an Officer’s certificate furnished by the Collateral Manager, notify the party delivering the same if such certificate or opinion does not conform. In the case of an Officer’s Certificate to be provided by the Collateral Manager or the
Issuer, if a corrected form shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 15 days after such notice from the Trustee, the Trustee shall so notify the Noteholders. 
  
 (b) In case an Event of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall, prior to the receipt
of directions, if any, from a Majority of the Controlling Class, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 
  
 (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
  
 (i) this subclause (c) shall not be construed to limit
the effect of subclause (a) of this Section 6.1; 
  
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it shall be proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
  
 (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager in accordance with this Indenture, or a Majority (or such other percentage as may be required by the terms
hereof) of the Controlling Class (or other Class if required or permitted by the terms hereof) relating to the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; 
  
 (iv)
no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated
hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it (if the amount of such funds or risk or liability does not exceed the
amount payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i)(2) net of the amounts specified in Section 6.8(a)(i), the Trustee shall be deemed to be reasonably assured of such repayment) unless such risk or liability relates to performance
of its ordinary services, including under Section 5, under this Indenture; and 
  

 104 

 (v) the Trustee shall not be liable to the Noteholders for any action taken or omitted by
it in good faith at the direction of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the Holders of the Notes under the circumstances in which such direction is required or permitted by the terms of this Indenture. 
  
 (d) For all purposes under this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be deemed to
have notice or knowledge of any Event of Default described in Section 5.1(d), 5.1(f), 5.1(g) or 5.1(i) or any Default described in Section 5.1(e) or 5.1(h) unless a Trust Officer assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such an Event of Default or such a Default, as the case may be, is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office. For purposes of determining the Trustee’s
responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is made in this Indenture to such an Event of Default or such a Default, as the case may be, such reference shall be construed to refer only to such an Event of Default or such a Default, as
the case may be, of which the Trustee is deemed to have notice as described in this Section 6.1(d). 
  
 (e) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6. 
  
 (f) The Trustee shall, upon reasonable (but no less than one Business Day’s) prior written notice to the Trustee, permit any representative of a Holder of a Note, during the Trustee’s normal business hours,
to examine all books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Trustee (other than items protected by attorney-client privilege) relating to the Notes, to make copies and extracts therefrom (the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
in making any such copies or extracts to be reimbursed to the Trustee by such Holder) and to discuss the Trustee’s actions, as such actions relate to the Trustee’s duties with respect to the Notes, with the Trustee’s Officers and
employees responsible for carrying out the Trustee’s duties with respect to the Notes. 
  
 (g) With respect to the security interests created hereunder, the Trustee acts as a fiduciary for the Noteholders only, and serves as a collateral agent for the Collateral Manager and the Hedge Counterparty.

  
 Section 6.2. Notice of Default. 
  
 Promptly (and in no event later than two Business Days) after the occurrence
of any Default known to the Trustee or after any declaration of acceleration has been made or delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.2, the Trustee shall mail to the Collateral Manager, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Hedge
Counterparty, each Rating Agency (for so long as any Class of Notes is Outstanding) and to all Holders of Notes, as their names and addresses appear on the Note Register, notice of all Defaults hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Default
shall have been cured or waived. 
  

 105 

 Section 6.3. Certain Rights of Trustee. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.1, 8.1 and 8.2: 
  
 (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from
acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties; 
  
 (b) any request or direction of the
Issuer or the Co-Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Request or Issuer Order, as the case may be; 
  
 (c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall (i) deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking,
suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s certificate or (ii) be required to determine the value
of any Collateral or funds hereunder or the cash flows projected to be received therefrom, the Trustee may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely on reports of nationally recognized accountants, investment bankers or other Persons qualified
to provide the information required to make such determination, including nationally recognized dealers in securities of the type being valued and securities quotation services; 
  
 (d) as a condition to the taking or omitting of any action by it hereunder, the Trustee may consult with counsel and the
advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
  
 (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise or to honor any of
the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which might reasonably be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 
  
 (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note or other paper documents, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may and, upon the written direction of a Majority of any Class or any Rating Agency, shall make such further
inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit or as it shall be directed, and the Trustee shall be entitled, on reasonable prior notice to the Co-Issuers and the Collateral Manager, to examine the books and records of the
Co-Issuers and the Collateral Manager relating to the Notes and the Collateral, personally or by agent or attorney during normal business hours; provided, that the Trustee shall, and shall cause its agents to, hold in confidence all such
information, except (i) to the extent disclosure may be required by law by any regulatory authority or by the documents delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Indenture and the Notes and (ii) to the extent that the Trustee, in
its sole judgment, may determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder; 
  
 (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys;
provided, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent (other than 

  

 106 

 
any Affiliate of the Trustee) appointed and supervised, or attorney appointed, with due care by it hereunder; 
  
 (h) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take
in good faith that it reasonably and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, prudently believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers hereunder; 
  
 (i) to the extent permitted by law, the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution
of this Indenture or otherwise; and 
  
 (j) the permissive right
of the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any actions enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty. 
  
 Section 6.4. Authenticating Agents. 
  
 Upon the request of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee shall, and if the Trustee so chooses the Trustee may, appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with power
to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.4, 2.5 and 8.5, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had
been expressly authorized by those Sections to authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes
“by the Trustee.” 
  
 Any entity into which any
Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any entity 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 entity.

  
 Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving
written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Co-Issuers. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Co-Issuers. Upon receiving
such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the Co-Issuers. 
  
 The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating thereto and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to Section 6.8. The provisions of Sections 2.8, 6.5 and 6.6
shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent. 
  
 Section 6.5. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes. 
  
 The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, other than the Certificate of Authentication thereon, shall be taken as the statements of the Co-Issuers, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their
correctness. The Trustee makes no representation as to the 

  

 107 

 
validity or sufficiency of this Indenture (except as may be made with respect to the validity of the Trustee’s obligations hereunder), of the Collateral
or of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Co-Issuers of the Notes or the proceeds thereof or any Money paid to the Co-Issuers pursuant to the provisions hereof. 
  
 Section 6.6. May Hold Notes. 
  
 The Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Note Registrar or any other agent of the
Co-Issuers, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Co-Issuers or any of their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Note
Registrar or such other agent. 
  
 Section 6.7. Money Held
in Trust. 
  
 Money held by the Trustee hereunder shall be
held in trust to the extent required herein. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any Money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed upon with the Issuer and except to the extent of income or other gain on investments
which are deposits in or certificates of deposit of the Trustee in its commercial capacity and income or other gain actually received by the Trustee on Eligible Investments. 
  
 Section 6.8. Compensation and Reimbursement. 
  
 (a) The Issuer agrees: 
  
 (i) to pay the Trustee on each Distribution Date reasonable compensation for all services, including custodial services, rendered by it
hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 
  
 (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee (subject to any written agreement between the Issuer and the
Trustee) in a timely manner upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture or in the enforcement of any provision hereof and expenses
related to the maintenance and administration of the Collateral (including securities transaction charges and the reasonable compensation and expenses and disbursements of its agents and legal counsel and of any accounting firm or investment banking
firm employed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.4, 5.5, 5.17 or 10.11, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, but only to the extent any such securities
transaction charges have not been waived during a Due Period due to the Trustee’s receipt of a payment from a financial institution with respect to certain Eligible Investments, as specified by the Collateral Manager); 
  
 (iii) to indemnify the Trustee and its Officers, directors,
employees and agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this
trust, including the costs and expenses 

  

 108 

 
(including reasonable counsel fees) of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their
powers or duties hereunder; and 
  
 (iv) to pay
the Trustee reasonable additional compensation together with its expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) for any collection action taken pursuant to Section 6.14. 
  
 (b) The Issuer may remit payment for such fees and expenses to the Trustee or, in the absence thereof, the Trustee may from
time to time deduct payment of its fees and expenses hereunder from Moneys on deposit in the Payment Account for the Notes pursuant to Section 11.1. 
  
 (c) The Trustee hereby agrees not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer for the non-payment to the Trustee of any amounts
provided by this Section 6.8 until at least one year and one day, or if longer the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this Indenture. 
  
 (d) The amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Sections 6.8(a) (other
than amounts received by the Trustee from financial institutions under clause (a)(ii) above) shall not, except as provided by Section 11.1(a)(i)(17) or Section 11.1(a)(ii)(11), exceed on any Distribution Date the Dollar limitation
described in Section 11.1(a)(i)(2) for such Distribution Date and the Trustee shall have a lien ranking senior to that of the Noteholders upon all property and funds held or collected as part of the Collateral to secure payment of amounts
payable to the Trustee under this Section 6.8 not to exceed such amount with respect to any Distribution Date; provided, that (i) the Trustee shall not institute any proceeding for enforcement of such lien except in connection with
an action pursuant to Section 5.3 or 5.4 for the enforcement of the lien of this Indenture for the benefit of the Secured Parties and (ii) the Trustee may only enforce such a lien in conjunction with the enforcement of the rights of the
Secured Parties in the manner set forth in Section 5.4. 
  
 The Trustee shall, subject to the Priority of Payments, receive amounts pursuant to this Section 6.8 and Sections 11.1(a)(i) and (ii) only to the extent that the payment thereof will not result in an Event of Default and the
failure to pay such amounts to the Trustee will not, by itself, constitute an Event of Default. Subject to Section 6.10, the Trustee shall continue to serve as Trustee under this Indenture notwithstanding the fact that the Trustee shall not
have received amounts due it hereunder and hereby agrees not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer for the nonpayment to the Trustee of any amounts provided by this Section 6.8 until at least one
year and one day, or if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this Indenture. No direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class shall affect the right of the Trustee to collect
amounts owed to it under this Indenture. 
  
 The indemnifications
in favor of the Trustee in this Section 6.8 shall survive any resignation or removal of any Person acting as Trustee (to the extent of any indemnified liabilities, costs, expenses and other amounts arising or incurred prior to, or arising out
of actions or omissions occurring prior to, such resignation or removal). 
  

 109 

 Section 6.9. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 
  
 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation
or trust company organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$200,000,000, subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authority, having a rating of at least “BBB+” by Standard & Poor’s and at least “BBB+” by Fitch and a short-term debt rating of “F1” by Fitch and having an
office within the United States. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.9, the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6.9, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Section 6. 
  
 Section 6.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
  
 (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to this Section 6 shall
become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee under Section 6.11. 
  
 (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Co-Issuers, the Noteholders, the Hedge
Counterparty, the Collateral Manager, the Preferred Share Paying Agent and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Co-Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees by written instrument, in duplicate,
executed by an Authorized Officer of each Co-Issuer, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee so resigning and one copy to the successor trustee or trustees, together with a copy to each Noteholder; provided, that such successor
trustee shall be appointed only upon the written consent of a Majority of each Class or, at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, by a Majority of the Controlling Class; and provided, further, that
such successor trustee shall be appointed only upon the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 6.10(f). If no successor trustee shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor trustee shall not have been
delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee, any Holder of a Note, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee. 
  
 (c) Subject to
Section 6.10(a), the Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of a Majority of each Class or at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing by Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class, delivered to the Trustee and
to the Co-Issuers. 
  
 (d) If at any time: 
  
 (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under
Section 6.9 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Co-Issuers or by any Holder; or 
  

 110 

 (ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or
insolvent or a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation; 
  
 then, in any such case (subject to
Section 6.10(a)), (A) the Co-Issuers, by Issuer Order, may remove the Trustee or (B) subject to Section 5.15, any Holder may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. 
  
 (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Co-Issuers, by Issuer Order, shall promptly appoint a successor trustee. If the
Co-Issuers shall fail to appoint a successor trustee within 60 days after such resignation, removal or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor trustee may be appointed by Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class delivered to
the Co-Issuers and the retiring Trustee. The successor trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor trustee and supersede any successor trustee proposed by the Co-Issuers. If no successor
trustee shall have been so appointed by the Co-Issuers or such Holders and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, 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 appointment of a successor trustee. 
  
 (f) Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall: 
  
 (i) be a bank; 
  
 (ii) have at all times an aggregate capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least $200,000,000 (provided, that if such trustee
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, for purposes of such requirement, the aggregate capital, surplus and undivided profits of such trustee shall be
deemed to be its aggregate capital, surplus and undivided profits as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published); 
  
 (iii) not be affiliated (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) with the Issuer or with any person involved with
the organization or operation of the Issuer; 
  
 (iv) not offer or provide credit or credit enhancement to the Issuer; 
  
 (v) enter into an Indenture (or agree to be bound by the terms of this Indenture) that provides that such successor trustee shall not
resign until either (A) the Pledged Securities have been completely liquidated and the proceeds of such liquidation have been distributed to the holders of the Notes or (B) a successor trustee meeting the requirements of such Indenture has
been designated and has accepted such trusteeship; and

appointment of a successor trustee by mailing written notice of such event by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Collateral Manager, the Hedge Counterparty, each Rating Agency and the Holders as their names and addresses appear in the Note
Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. If the Co-Issuers fail to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor
trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Co-Issuers. 
  
 Section 6.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 
  
 Every successor trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Co-Issuers and the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment. Upon delivery of the required instruments, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any other act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers,
trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or a Majority of any Class or the successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, fees, indemnities and expenses then
unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and Money held by such
retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 6.8(d). Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Co-Issuers shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

at least “BBB+” by Fitch and (ii) be qualified and eligible under this Section 6 and (b) the Rating Condition with respect to the appointment of such successor trustee shall have been satisfied. No appointment of a successor

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

 112

and take such other actions pursuant to Section 5.6 and to make such claims and enforce such rights of action on behalf of the Holders of the Notes subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.13. 
  
 The Co-Issuers shall join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery and
performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint a co-trustee. If the Co-Issuers do not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by them of a request to do so, the Trustee shall have power to make such
appointment. 
  
 Should any written instrument from the Co-Issuers
be required by any co-trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to such co-trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Co-Issuers. The Co-Issuers
agree to pay (subject to the Priority of Payments) 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:

upon the Trustee in respect of any property covered by the appointment of a co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument
appointing such co-trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties
and obligations shall be exercised and performed by a co-trustee; 
  
 (c) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Co-Issuers evidenced by an Issuer Order, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee appointed under this Section 6.13, and
in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall have the power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee without the concurrence of the Co-Issuers. A successor to any co-trustee so resigned or removed

 In the event that the Trustee shall not have received a payment with respect to any Pledged Security on its Due Date (unless otherwise directed by the Collateral Manager in connection with any Pledged Security with
respect to which there was a default in payment during the preceding Due Period as to which the Collateral Manager is taking action hereunder or under the Collateral Management Agreement or directing the Trustee to take action hereunder),

payment shall have been received by the Trustee or (ii) the Issuer, in its absolute discretion (but only to the extent permitted by Section 10.2(c)), shall have made provision for such payment satisfactory to the Trustee in accordance with
Section 10.2(c), the Trustee shall request the issuer of such Pledged Security, the trustee under the related Underlying Instrument or paying agent designated by either of them, as the case may be, to make such payment as soon as practicable
after such request but in no event later than three Business Days after the date of such request. In the event that such payment is not made within such time period, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(c)(iv), shall take such
action as the Collateral Manager shall direct in writing. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any right to claim a Default under this Indenture. In the event that the Issuer or the Collateral Manager requests a release of a Pledged
Security and/or delivers a new Collateral Debt Security in connection with any such action under the Collateral Management Agreement, such release and/or delivery shall be subject to Section 10.10 and Section 12, as the case may be.

  

 114 

 
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer or its designee any payment with respect to any Pledged Security received

may be, with such Paying Agent, if necessary, an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the 

  

 117 

 
amounts then becoming due (to the extent funds are then available for such purpose in the Payment Account or Principal Collection Account, as the case may
be), such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Co-Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. Any Moneys deposited with a Paying
Agent (other than the Trustee) in excess of an amount sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due on the Notes with respect to which such deposit was made shall be paid over by such Paying Agent to the Trustee for application in accordance with
Section 10. 
  
 The initial paying agent shall be as set
forth in Section 7.2. Any additional or successor paying agents shall be appointed by Issuer Order with written notice thereof to the Trustee; provided, that so long as any Class of Notes is rated by the Rating Agencies and with respect
to any additional or successor paying agent for the Notes, (i) either (a) the Paying Agent for the Notes has a rating of not less than “AA-” and not less than “A-1+” by Standard & Poor’s and a rating of
not less than “AA-” and not less than “F1+” by Fitch or (ii) the Rating Condition with respect to the appointment of such Paying Agent shall have been satisfied. In the event that (i) such successor paying agent ceases
to have a rating of at least “AA-” and of “A-1+” by Standard & Poor’s and a rating of at least “AA-” and of “F1+” by Fitch or (ii) the Rating Condition with respect to the appointment of
such Paying Agent shall not have been satisfied, the Co-Issuers shall promptly remove such Paying Agent and appoint a successor paying agent. The Co-Issuers shall not appoint any Paying Agent (other than an initial paying agent) that is not, at the
time of such appointment, a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision and examination by federal and/or state and/or national banking authorities. The Co-Issuers shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute
and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee (and if the Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3, that such Paying Agent will:

  
 (a) allocate all sums received for payment to the Holders of
Notes for which it acts as Paying Agent on each Distribution Date and Redemption Date among such Holders in the proportion specified in the instructions set forth in the applicable Note Valuation Report or Redemption Date Statement or as otherwise
provided herein, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law and provide the Depository (if applicable) with payment factors and such other information as the Depository may reasonably require to facilitate the allocation of funds to the
Holders of Notes; 
  
 (b) hold all sums held by it for the payment
of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

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

  

 118 

 (d) if such Paying Agent is not the Trustee, immediately give the Trustee notice of any Default by the
Co-Issuers (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment required to be made; and 
  
 (e) if such Paying Agent is not the Trustee at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay
to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 
  
 The Co-Issuers may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the
Co-Issuers or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Co-Issuers or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent
shall be released from all further liability with respect to such Money. 
  
 Except as otherwise required by applicable law, any Money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after
such principal or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Co-Issuers on Issuer Request; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer for payment of such
amounts and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust Money (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Co-Issuers) shall thereupon cease. The Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make
any such release of payment, may, but shall not be required to, adopt and employ, at the expense of the Co-Issuers, any reasonable means of notification of such release of payment, including 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 Co-Issuers. 
  
 The Issuer shall maintain in full force and effect its existence and rights
as an exempted company incorporated and registered under the laws of the Cayman Islands and the Co-Issuer shall maintain in full force and effect its existence and rights as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, and
each of the Co-Issuers shall obtain and preserve their 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 Notes or any of the
Collateral. 
  
 The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall ensure that all
corporate or other formalities regarding its existence (including holding regular board of directors’ and shareholders’, or other similar, meetings) or registrations are followed. Neither the Issuer nor the Co-Issuer shall take any action,
or conduct its affairs in any 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 other than the Co-Issuer and shall not 

  

 119 

 
have any employees except its directors and officers, (b) the Co-Issuer shall not have any subsidiaries or employees and (c) neither the Issuer nor
the Co-Issuer shall (i) conduct its business under any name other than its own, (ii) engage in any transaction with any shareholder that would constitute a conflict of interest or (iii) pay dividends other than in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture and the Preferred Share Paying Agency Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Issuer from entering into the transactions contemplated by the Administration Agreement with the Administrator.

  
 Section 7.5. Protection of Collateral. 

 
 (a) The Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, shall from time to
time execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such Financing Statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other
action as may be necessary or advisable or desirable to secure the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder and to: 
  
 (i) Grant more effectively all or any portion of the Collateral; 
  
 (ii) maintain, preserve and perfect the lien (and the first priority nature thereof) of this Indenture or to
carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;

 The Issuer hereby authorizes the Trustee to file, without the
signature of the Issuer where permitted by law, Financing Statements describing as the collateral covered thereby “all of the Issuer’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be
broader in scope than the Collateral. The Issuer hereby designates the Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute, pursuant to the written direction of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, any Financing Statement, continuation statement or
other instrument required pursuant to this Section 7.5; provided, that such appointment shall not impose upon the Trustee any of the Issuer’s obligations under this Section 7.5. The Issuer agrees that a carbon, photographic,
photostatic or other reproduction of this Indenture or of a Financing Statement is sufficient as a Financing Statement. 
  
 Subject to Section 6.1(c)(iv) and Section 7.7, the Trustee shall, in accordance with written instructions of the Collateral Manager
(i) upon a Collateral Debt Security becoming a Defaulted Security, attempt to maximize the recovery value of such Defaulted Security by 

  

 120 

 
engaging in restructuring efforts, bringing enforcement proceedings and/or taking such other measures as may be deemed appropriate and (ii) approve or
disapprove any waiver or amendment of the terms of Collateral Debt Securities requested by the issuer thereof, in each case, to the extent that the Trustee has received advice of nationally recognized tax counsel experienced in such matters that
such actions will not cause the Issuer to be engaged in a U.S. trade or business for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided that, in performing (i) and (ii) above, the Trustee shall rely on the written instructions of the
Collateral Manager and the Trustee, with the consent of the Collateral Manager, may retain such advisors (including legal advisers and investment banking or asset management firms) selected by it (whose fees shall constitute Administrative Expenses
payable by the Issuer hereunder in accordance with the Priority of Payments; provided further that, notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, but subject to Section 7.7, the Trustee shall follow any instructions provided by the
Requisite Noteholders to the Trustee with respect to actions contemplated by clauses (i) and (ii) above. For the purposes of the immediately preceding proviso, the term “Requisite Noteholders” shall mean a Majority of each Class
of Notes, voting separately by Class. 
  
 (b) The Trustee shall
not (i) except in accordance with Section 10.10(a), (b) or (c), as applicable, remove any portion of the Collateral that consists of Cash or is evidenced by an Instrument, certificate or other writing (A) from the jurisdiction in
which it was held at the date the most recent Opinion of Counsel was delivered pursuant to Section 7.6 (or from the jurisdiction in which it was held as described in the Opinion of Counsel delivered at the Closing Date pursuant to
Section 3.1(c), if no Opinion of Counsel has yet been delivered pursuant to Section 7.6) or (B) from the possession of the Person who held it on such date or (ii) cause or permit ownership or the pledge of any portion of the
Collateral that consists of book-entry securities to be recorded on the books of a Person (A) located in a different jurisdiction from the jurisdiction in which such ownership or pledge was recorded at such date or (B) other than the
Person on whose books such ownership or pledge was recorded at such date, unless the Trustee shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the lien and security interest created by this Indenture with respect to such property
will continue to be maintained after giving effect to such action or actions. 
  
 (c) The Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid taxes, if any, levied on account of the beneficial ownership by the Issuer of any Pledged Securities that secure the Notes.

(i) 10 days’ prior notice to each Rating Agency and the Hedge Counterparty, (ii) 10 days’ prior notice thereof to the Trustee, which notice shall specify the action proposed to be taken by the Issuer (and the Trustee shall
promptly deliver a copy of such notice to each Noteholder) and (iii) the Rating Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such amendment, modification or termination. 
  
 (e) Without at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Trustee and each Rating Agency, the Issuer shall not change
its name, or the name under which it does business, from the name shown on the signature pages hereto.

performance of actions and obligations to be performed by the Co-Issuers hereunder by such Persons and the performance of the actions and other obligations with respect to the Collateral of the nature set forth in the Collateral

 Section 7.15. Calculation Agent. 
  
 (a) The Co-Issuers hereby agree that, for so long as any of the Notes remain
Outstanding, the Co-Issuers will at all times cause there to be an agent appointed to calculate LIBOR in respect of each Interest Period in accordance with the terms of Schedule B (the “Calculation Agent”), which agent shall be a financial
institution, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, having a rating of at least “BBB+” by Standard & Poor’s and “BBB+” by Fitch and having an office within the United States. The
Co-Issuers have initially appointed the Trustee as Calculation Agent for purposes of determining LIBOR for each Interest Period. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Co-Issuers at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to
act as such, is removed by the Co-Issuers or fails to determine the Note Interest Rate for any Class of Notes or the amount of interest payable in respect of any Class of Notes for any Interest Period, the Co-Issuers will promptly appoint as a
replacement Calculation Agent a leading bank that is engaged in transactions in U.S. Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurodollar market and which does not control and is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer, the
Co-Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed. The determination of the Note Interest Rate for the Notes for each Interest Period by the Calculation
Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on all parties. 
  
 (b) The Calculation Agent shall, as soon as possible after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately following each
LIBOR Determination Date, calculate the Note Interest Rate for each Class of Notes for the related Interest Period and the amount of interest for the related Interest Period payable in respect of each U.S.$1,000 in principal amount of each Class of
Notes (in each case rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upward) on the related Distribution Date and will communicate such rates and amounts and the related Distribution Date to the Co-Issuers, the Trustee, each Paying Agent
(other than the Preferred Share Paying Agent), the Depositary, Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and (in the case of any Class of Notes listed on the Irish Stock Exchange) the Irish Stock Exchange. The Calculation Agent will also specify to the
Co-Issuers the quotations upon which the Note Interest Rate for each Class of Notes is based, and in any event the Calculation Agent shall notify the Co-Issuers before 5:00 p.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date that either: (i) it
has determined or is in the process of determining the Note Interest Rate for each Class of Notes or (ii) it has not determined and is not in the process of determining such Note Interest Rates, together with its reasons therefor. The
Calculation Agent also will cause the Note Interest Rate for each Interest Period for each Class of Notes listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, the amount of interest payable in respect of each Class of Notes listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and
each Distribution Date to be delivered to the Company Announcements Office of the Irish Stock Exchange as soon as possible after the Calculation Agent has determined such Note Interest Rates and amounts. 
  
 Section 7.16. Listing. 
  
 (a) The Issuer will use its best efforts to obtain and maintain the listing
of each Class of Notes on the Irish Stock Exchange, and the listing of the Preferred Shares and Combination Notes on the Channel Islands Stock Exchange. 
  

 129 

 Section 7.17. Amendment of Certain Documents. 
  
 Prior to entering into any amendment to the Collateral Management Agreement,
the Collateral Administration Agreement, any Hedge Agreement or the Administration Agreement, the Rating Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to the entry by the Issuer into such amendment. Prior to entering into any waiver in respect of
any of the foregoing agreements, the Issuer shall provide each Rating Agency, the Hedge Counterparty, the Collateral Manager and the Trustee with written notice thereof and otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 7.5(d). 

 
 Section 7.18. Use of Uninvested Proceeds to Purchase Additional
Collateral Debt Securities Prior to Ramp-Up Completion Date, Subject to the Ratings Confirmation. 
  
 (a) In accordance with the terms of this Section 7.18, following the Closing Date until the Ramp-Up Completion Date, the Issuer will use Uninvested
Proceeds and Uninvested Interest Proceeds to purchase additional Collateral Debt Securities with an Aggregate Principal Balance of approximately U.S.$700,000,000, such that the total amount of Collateral Debt Securities held by the Issuer following
such purchases will be approximately equal to the Target Ramp-Up Par Amount; provided, that the Issuer will only use Uninvested Proceeds and Uninvested Interest Proceeds to purchase Collateral Debt Securities issued by such issuers if:
(i) such securities meet the Collateral Debt Security Criteria; (ii) the Eligibility Criteria are satisfied with respect thereto; (iii) no Event of Default exists or will exist after giving effect to such acquisition; and
(iv) each such Collateral Debt Security shall have been Granted to the Trustee hereunder, the procedures identified in Section 3.3 of this Indenture relating to the perfection of the Trustee’s security interest in the Collateral Debt
Security have taken place and the Trustee shall have a first priority, perfected security interest therein. All such purchases of additional Collateral Debt Securities shall be made on the terms set forth in this Indenture, and the Issuer shall not
acquire any Collateral Debt Securities after the Closing Date in violation of any of the requirements of this Indenture. The Issuer will not acquire any Collateral Debt Securities after the Ramp-Up Completion Date, except for the settlement of
purchases of Collateral Debt Securities pursuant to agreements entered into on or prior to the Ramp-Up Completion Date. 
  
 (b) Seven Business Days after the Ramp-Up Completion Date, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall deliver an Officer’s
certificate to the Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty and each Rating Agency demonstrating compliance by the Issuer with its obligations under this Section 7.18 and satisfaction of each applicable Coverage Test and each Collateral Quality Test
and certifying the satisfaction of the Collateral Debt Security Criteria and the Eligibility Criteria with respect to each Collateral Debt Security or, if on the Ramp-Up Completion Date, the Issuer shall be in default in the performance of its
obligations under this Section 7.18 or any of the Coverage Tests or Collateral Quality Tests shall fail to be satisfied, or any of the Collateral Debt Security Criteria or Eligibility Criteria shall fail to be satisfied with respect to any
Collateral Debt Security, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall deliver an Officer’s certificate to the Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty and each Rating Agency specifying the details of such default or failure. In
addition, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall promptly notify each Rating Agency when a Collateral Debt Security becomes a Defaulted Security. As of the Ramp-Up Completion Date, in 

  

 130 

 
addition to satisfying the conditions set forth above, the following criteria must be met and shall be included in the items to be certified pursuant to the
Officer’s certificate referred to above: 
  
 The aggregate
Principal Balance of Pledged Securities that evidence obligations of a single issuer must: 
  
 (i) not exceed 3.75% of the aggregate Principal Balance on such date and, with respect to the date on which any additional Collateral Debt
Security is purchased, the purchase of such additional Collateral Debt Security must not cause the aggregate Principal Balance of Pledged Securities that evidence obligations of a single issuer to exceed 3.75% of the aggregate Principal Balance on
such date or; 
  
 (ii) if the aggregate Principal
Balance of Pledged Securities that evidence obligations of the obligor of such Additional Collateral Debt Security exceeds 3.75% of the aggregate Principal Balance prior to such purchase, such purchase must not cause such percentage to increase.

  
 (c) No later than seven Business Days after the Ramp-Up
Completion Date, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty and each Rating Agency a list of all Collateral Debt Securities and Equity Securities held by the
Issuer (or with respect to which the Issuer has entered into a binding purchase agreement) on the Ramp-Up Completion Date and an Accountants’ Report certifying the procedures applied and their associated findings with respect to the Collateral
Debt Security Criteria and the Eligibility Criteria set forth in Section 7.18 for each Pledged Collateral Debt Security held by the Issuer on the Ramp-Up Completion Date. 
  
 (d) No later than seven Business Days after the Ramp-Up Completion Date, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its
behalf) shall notify the Trustee, each of the Rating Agencies and each Hedge Counterparty of the occurrence of the Ramp-Up Completion Date and request in writing (each, a “Ramp-Up Notice”) that each of the Rating Agencies confirm in
writing within 30 days after receipt of such Ramp-Up Notice that it has not reduced or withdrawn the ratings (including any shadow, private or confidential ratings, if any) assigned by it, if any, on the Closing Date to any Class of Notes (a
“Ratings Confirmation”). The Issuer will be deemed to have obtained a confirmation of the ratings assigned by Fitch on the Closing Date if (i) such Rating Agency does not notify the Issuer in writing within 30 days after
receipt of such Ramp-Up Notice that any such rating (including shadow, private or confidential ratings, if any) has been reduced or withdrawn and (ii) all Coverage Tests and Collateral Quality Tests are satisfied on the Ramp-Up Completion Date.
In the event that the Issuer is unable to obtain a Ratings Confirmation after the occurrence of the Ramp-Up Completion Date (a “Ramp-Up Ratings Confirmation Failure”), the Issuer will be required to apply Uninvested Proceeds and, to
the extent that Uninvested Proceeds are insufficient to redeem the Notes in full, Interest Proceeds (including Uninvested Interest Proceeds) and Principal Proceeds to the repayment of, first, the Class A-1 Notes, second, the
Class A-2 third, the Class B Notes, pro rata, fourth, the Class C Notes, pro rata, fifth, the Class D Notes, and sixth, the Class E Notes in accordance with Section 11.1(a) as, and to the extent,
necessary to obtain a Ratings Confirmation from each Rating Agency. 
  

 131 

 Section 7.19. Compliance with Collateral Purchase Agreements. 
  
 The Issuer agrees to perform all actions required to be performed, and to
refrain from performing any actions prohibited, under the purchase agreements with respect to the Collateral Debt Securities. The Issuer also agrees to take all actions as may be necessary to ensure that all of the Issuer’s representations and
warranties made pursuant to the purchase agreements with respect to the Collateral Debt Securities are true and correct as of the date thereof and continue to be true and correct for so long as any Notes are Outstanding. 
  
 Section 7.20. Section 3(c)(7) Procedures

 (v) The Issuer will from time to time (upon the request of the Trustee, the Hedge Counterparty, the Note
Registrar or the Collateral Administrator) request DTC to deliver to the Issuer a list of all DTC Participants holding an interest in the Rule 144A Global Securities. 
  
 (c) The Issuer shall 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) restrictions on the Rule 144A Global Securities. Without limiting the

foregoing, the Issuer will request Bloomberg, L.P. to include the following on each Bloomberg screen containing information about the Rule 144A Global
Securities: 
  
 (i) The “Note Box” on
the bottom of the “Security Display” page describing each Rule 144A Global Security should state: “Iss’d Under 144A/3c7.” 
  
 (ii) The “Security Display” page should have a flashing red indicator stating “See Other Available Information.”

  
 (iii) Such indicator should link to an
“Additional Security Information” page, which should state that the Rule 144A Global Securities “are being offered in reliance on the exemption from registration under Rule 144A to Persons that are both (1) qualified

 (e) to correct or amplify the description of any property at any time subject to the lien of this Indenture, or to better assure, convey and confirm unto the Trustee any property subject or required to be subjected to the lien of this
Indenture (including any and all actions necessary or desirable as a result of changes in law or regulations) or to subject to the lien of this Indenture any additional property; 
  
 (f) to modify the restrictions on and procedures for resale and other transfer of the Notes to reflect any changes in any

 (j) to evidence or implement any change to this Indenture required by regulations or guidelines enacted to support the USA PATRIOT Act or any other

with the listing of any Notes on any stock exchange, and otherwise to amend the Indenture to incorporate any changes required or requested by any governmental authority, stock exchange authority, listing agent, transfer agent, paying agent, or
additional registrar for any Class of Notes in connection with its appointment, so long as the supplemental indenture would not materially and adversely affect any Holder of Notes. 
  
 The Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture and to make any further
appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or indemnities under this
Indenture or otherwise, except to the extent required by law. 
  

 134 

 The Trustee shall not enter into any such supplemental indenture described in clauses (a) through
(i) of this Section 8.1 if, as a result of such supplemental indenture, the interests of any Holder, any Preferred Shareholder or the Hedge Counterparty would be materially adversely affected thereby. Unless notified by (i) a Majority
of any Class of Notes or a Majority-in-Interest of Preferred Shareholders that such Class or Preferred Shareholders will be materially adversely affected or (ii) the Hedge Counterparty that such Hedge Counterparty will be adversely affected,
the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee as described in Section 8.3 as to whether or not the interests of any Holders, any Preferred Shareholder or the Hedge Counterparty, as applicable, would be
materially adversely affected by any such supplemental indenture (after giving notice of such change to each Holder, each Preferred Shareholder and the Hedge Counterparty). The Trustee shall not enter into any such supplemental indenture pursuant to
this Section 8.1 that could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Collateral Manager unless the Collateral Manager gives written consent to the Trustee and the Issuer to such supplemental indenture at least one
(1) Business Day prior to such execution and delivery. At the cost of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee shall provide to the Noteholders, the Hedge Counterparty and the Preferred Share Paying Agent a copy of any proposed supplemental indenture at
least 15 Business Days prior to the execution thereof by the Trustee and a copy of the executed supplemental indenture after its execution. At the cost of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee shall provide to each Rating Agency a copy of any proposed
supplemental indenture at least 15 Business Days’ prior to the execution thereof by the Trustee, and, for so long as any Notes are Outstanding, request that the Rating Condition with respect to such supplemental indenture be satisfied, and, as
soon as practicable after the execution by the Trustee and the Co-Issuers of any such supplemental indenture, provide to each Rating Agency a copy of the executed supplemental indenture. The Trustee shall not enter into any such supplemental
indenture if, with respect to such supplemental indenture, the Rating Condition would not be satisfied; provided, that the Trustee may, with the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes of each
Class and the Hedge Counterparty, enter into any such supplemental indenture notwithstanding any such reduction or withdrawal of the ratings of any Outstanding Class of Notes. 
  
 Section 8.2. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders. 
  
 With the consent of (x) each Holder of each Outstanding Note of each
Class materially adversely affected thereby and a Majority-in-Interest of Preferred Shareholders (if the Preferred Shareholders are materially adversely affected thereby), by Act of said Noteholders or by written consent of the Preferred
Shareholders (which consent shall be evidenced by an Officer’s certificate of the Issuer certifying that such consent has been obtained) delivered to the Trustee and the Co-Issuers and (y) the consent of the Hedge Counterparty (if
materially adversely affected thereby) (delivered by the Hedge Counterparty to the Trustee and the Co-Issuers), the Trustee and the Co-Issuers may, subject to the requirement provided below in this Section 8.2 with respect to the ratings of the
Notes and subject to Section 8.3, enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto to add any provisions to, or change in any manner or eliminate any of the provisions of, this Indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the Holders of
the Notes of such Class, the Preferred Shares or the Hedge Counterparty, as the case may be, under this Indenture; provided, that notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, no such supplemental indenture shall be entered into
without the consent of (i) each Holder of each Outstanding Note of each Class, (ii) each Preferred Shareholder (which consent 

  

 135 

 
shall be evidenced by an Officer’s certificate of the Issuer certifying that such consent has been obtained) and (iii) the Hedge Counterparty (if
materially adversely affected thereby) (delivered by the Hedge Counterparty to the Trustee and the Co-Issuers), if such supplemental indenture proposes to: 
  
 (a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of or the due date of any installment of interest on any Note, reduce the principal amount thereof or the
Note Interest Rate thereon, or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the earliest date on which the Co-Issuers may redeem any Note, change the provisions of this Indenture relating to the application of proceeds of any Collateral to the
payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, change any place where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the principal thereof or interest thereon is payable or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date); 
  
 (b) reduce the percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of Holders of Notes of each Class whose consent is required for the authorization
of any supplemental indenture or for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain Defaults hereunder or their consequences provided for in this Indenture; 
  
 (c) impair or adversely affect the Collateral except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Indenture; 
  
 (d) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the
lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Collateral or terminate such lien on any property at any time subject hereto (other than in connection with the sale thereof in accordance with this Indenture) or deprive the Holder of any Note
of the security afforded by the lien of this Indenture; 
  
 (e)
reduce the percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of Holders of Notes of each Class whose consent is required to request that the Trustee preserve the Collateral or rescind the Trustee’s election to preserve the Collateral
pursuant to Section 5.5 or to sell or liquidate the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.4 or 5.5; 
  
 (f) modify any of the provisions of this Section 8.2, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this
Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby; 
  
 (g) modify the definition of the term “Outstanding,” Section 11.1 or Section 13.1; 
  
 (h) change the permitted minimum denominations of any Class of Notes; or

  
 (i) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such a
manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest on or principal of any Note or the rights of the Holders of Notes to the benefit of any provisions for the redemption of such Notes contained herein. 
  
 The Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of any such
supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which 

  

 136 

 
may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights,
duties, liabilities or indemnities under this Indenture or otherwise, except to the extent required by law. 
  
 Not later than 15 Business Days prior to the execution of any proposed supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8.2, the Trustee, at the
expense of the Co-Issuers, shall mail to the Noteholders, the Hedge Counterparty, the Collateral Manager, the Preferred Share Paying Agent and each Rating Agency a copy of such proposed supplemental indenture (or a description of the substance
thereof) and shall request that the Rating Condition with respect to such supplemental indenture be satisfied. If any Class of Notes is then rated by any Rating Agency, the Trustee shall not enter into any such supplemental indenture if, as a result
of such supplemental indenture, the Rating Condition would not be satisfied with respect to such supplemental indenture, unless each Holder of Notes of each Class whose rating will be reduced or withdrawn has, after notice that the proposed
supplemental indenture would result in such reduction or withdrawal of the rating of the Class of Notes held by such Holder, consented to such supplemental indenture. The Trustee shall not enter into any such supplemental indenture if, as a result
of such supplemental indenture, the interests of any Holder, Preferred Shareholder or Hedge Counterparty would be materially adversely affected thereby. Unless notified by a Majority of any Class of Notes, a Majority-in-Interest of Preferred
Shareholders or the Hedge Counterparty that such Class of Notes, the Preferred Shares or the Hedge Counterparty, as the case may be, will be materially adversely affected, the Trustee may, consistent with the written advice of counsel, determine
whether or not such Class of Notes, the Preferred Shares or the Hedge Counterparty would be materially adversely affected by such change (after giving notice of such change to each Noteholder, Preferred Shareholder and the Hedge Counterparty). Such
determination shall be conclusive and binding on all present and future Holders, Preferred Shareholders and the Hedge Counterparty. The Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith and in reliance in good faith upon an
Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee as described in Section 8.3. 
  
 It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders or any consent of Preferred Shareholders or Hedge Counterparty under this Section 8.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture,
but it shall be sufficient if such Act or consent shall approve the substance thereof. 
  
 Promptly after the execution by the Co-Issuers and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8.2, the Trustee, at the expense of the Co-Issuers, shall mail to the Noteholders, the Hedge
Counterparty, the Preferred Share Paying Agent (for forwarding to the Preferred Shareholders), the Collateral Manager, the Irish Stock Exchange (in the case of any Class of Notes listed on the Irish Stock Exchange) and the Channel Islands Stock
Exchange (in the case of any Preferred Shares and Combination Notes listed on the Channel Islands Stock Exchange) and each Rating Agency a copy thereof. Any failure of the Trustee to publish or mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. In addition, promptly following the execution of any supplemental indenture or other modification pursuant to this Section 8.2, the Issuer shall deliver a
copy of such supplemental indenture or other modification to the Repository for posting on the Repository in the manner described in Section 10.11. 
  

 137 

 Section 8.3. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. 
  
 In executing or accepting the additional trusts created by any supplemental
indenture permitted by this Section 8 or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.3) shall be fully protected in relying in good faith 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 complied with. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter
into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or indemnities under this Indenture or otherwise. The Trustee shall not enter into any supplemental indenture (including a supplemental indenture entered into
pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2) that alters the rights or obligations of the Collateral Manager in any respect without the written consent of the Collateral Manager, and the Collateral Manager shall not be bound by any amendment to this
Indenture which alters the rights or obligations of the Collateral Manager in any respect unless the Collateral Manager shall have consented thereto in writing. 
  

Section 8.4. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. 
  
 Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Section 8, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such
supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore and thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder, every Holder of Preferred Shares and the Hedge Counterparty shall be bound
thereby. 
  
 Section 8.5. Reference in Notes to
Supplemental Indentures. 
  
 Notes authenticated and delivered
after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8 may, and if required by the Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the
Co-Issuers shall so determine, new Notes, so modified as to conform in the opinion of the Trustee and the Co-Issuers to any such supplemental indenture, may be prepared and executed by the Co-Issuers and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in
exchange for Outstanding Notes. 
  
 ARTICLE IX 

 
 REDEMPTION OF NOTES 
  
 Section 9.1. Redemption of Notes. 
  
 (a) The Notes shall be redeemable (in whole but not in part) on any
Distribution Date at the option of the Co-Issuers (such redemption, an “Optional Redemption”) from Sale Proceeds and all other funds in the Interest Collection Account, Principal Collection Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the
Expense Account and the Payment Account on such Distribution Date, as specified by the Co-Issuers, at the written direction of a Majority-in-Interest of Preferred Shareholders, at the applicable Redemption Price (exclusive of installments of
principal and interest due on or prior to such date, provided payment of which shall have been made or duly provided for, to the Holders of the Notes as provided in this Indenture); provided, that (i) no such 

  

 138 

 
Optional Redemption may be effected prior to the Distribution Date occurring in December 2009, (ii) the Sale Proceeds and all Cash and Eligible
Investments credited to the Interest Collection Account, the Principal Collection Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Expense Account and the Payment Account on the relevant Distribution Date must be at least sufficient to redeem the Notes
simultaneously in accordance with the procedures described in Section 9.1(b) and (iii) such Sale Proceeds are used to make such a redemption. 
  
 In addition, upon the occurrence of a Tax Event, the Notes shall be redeemable by the Co-Issuers on any Distribution Date (in whole but not in part) at
the written direction of a Majority of any Affected Class (such redemption, a “Tax Redemption”) from Sale Proceeds and Cash and Eligible Investments credited to the Interest Collection Account, Principal Collection Account, the Interest
Reserve Account, the Expense Account and the Payment Account on such Distribution Date at the applicable Redemption Price (exclusive of installments of principal and interest due on or prior to such date, provided payment of which has been made or
duly provided for, to the Holders of the Notes as provided in this Indenture); provided that (i) the Sale Proceeds and all Cash and Eligible Investments credited to the Interest Collection Account, Principal Collection Account, the

Sale Proceeds are used to make such a redemption, (iii) a Tax Event has occurred and (iv) the Tax Materiality Condition is satisfied. 
  
 In the event of an Optional Redemption or Tax Redemption pursuant to this Section 9.1(a), unless a Majority-In-Interest of the Preferred Shareholders

Senior Redemption Amount. 
  
 (b) The Notes shall not be redeemed
pursuant to Section 9.1(a) unless at least four Business Days before the scheduled Redemption Date, the Collateral Manager shall have furnished to the Trustee evidence (which evidence may be in the form of fax or electronic mail indicating firm
bids satisfactory to the Trustee), that the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer has entered into a binding agreement or agreements with a financial institution or institutions whose long-term unsecured debt obligations (other than such
obligations whose rating is based on the credit of a person other than such institution) have a credit rating from each Rating Agency at least equal to the then-highest rating of any Notes then Outstanding or whose short-term unsecured debt
obligations have a credit rating of at least “A-1” by Standard & Poor’s and at least “F1” by Fitch to sell, not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Redemption Date, in immediately
available funds, all or part of the Collateral Debt Securities at a sale price (including in such price the sale of accrued interest) which, when added to all Cash and Eligible Investments maturing on or prior to the scheduled Redemption Date, is
equal to the Total Senior Redemption Amount. 
  
 Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph, in connection with any Tax Redemption, Holders of at least 66-2/3% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of an Affected Class of Notes may elect to receive less than 100% of the portion of the Total Senior Redemption Amount
that 

  

 139 

 
would otherwise be payable to Holders of such Affected Class (and the minimum funding requirements specified in the immediately preceding paragraph will be
reduced accordingly). 
  
 (c) Installments of principal and
interest due on or prior to a Redemption Date shall continue to be payable to the Holders of such Notes as of the relevant Record Dates according to their terms. The election of the Issuer to redeem any Notes pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall
be evidenced by an Issuer Order from the Collateral Manager directing the Trustee to make the payment to the Paying Agent of the Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be redeemed from funds in the Payment Account in accordance with the Priority of
Payments. The Issuer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, the funds required for an optional redemption pursuant to this Section 9.1 in the Payment Account on or before the fifth Business Day prior to the Redemption Date or, if later, upon
receipt. 
  
 (d) The Issuer shall set the Redemption Date and the
applicable Record Date and give notice thereof to the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.2. 
  
 (e) Any amounts applied to the redemption of the Class A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes, Class D Notes or Class E Notes pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall be applied to the Class A Notes, Class B
Notes, Class C Notes, Class D Notes or Class E Notes, respectively, in each case, pro rata in accordance with the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amounts of such Class of Notes on the date of such redemption. 
  
 Section 9.2. Notice to Trustee of Optional Redemption and Tax
Redemption. 
  
 In the event of any redemption pursuant to
Section 9.1, the Issuer shall, at least 30 days (but not more than 90 days) prior to the Redemption Date (unless the Trustee shall agree to a shorter notice period), notify the Trustee, the Collateral Manager and each Paying Agent of such
Redemption Date, the applicable Record Date, the principal amount of each Class of Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date and the Redemption Price of such Notes in accordance with Section 9.1. 
  
 Section 9.3. Notice of Auction Call Redemption, Optional Redemption
or Tax Redemption or Maturity by the Co-Issuers. 
  
 Notice of
redemption pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.5 or the Maturity of any Class of Notes shall be given by the Trustee by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 10 Business Days prior to the applicable Redemption Date or Maturity to
each Holder of Notes to be redeemed pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.5 or to mature, at such Holder’s address in the Note Register with a copy to the Hedge Counterparty and each Rating Agency. In addition, if and for so long as any Class of
Notes to be redeemed is listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, the Trustee shall cause to be delivered to the Company Announcements Office of the Irish Stock Exchange notice of such Optional Redemption, Tax Redemption or Auction Call Redemption not
less than 10 Business Days prior to the applicable Redemption Date and promptly notify the Irish Stock Exchange. All notices of redemption shall state: 
  
 (a) the applicable Redemption Date; 
  
 (b) the applicable Record Date; 
  

 140 

 (c) the Redemption Price; 
  
 (d) the principal amount of each Class of Notes to be redeemed and that interest on such principal amount of Notes shall
cease to accrue on the date specified in the notice; and 
  
 (e)
the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, which shall be the office or agency of the Co-Issuers to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2. 
  
 The Co-Issuers shall have the option to withdraw the notice of Auction Call
Redemption, Optional Redemption or Tax Redemption up to the fourth Business Day prior to the scheduled Redemption Date by written notice to the Trustee, the Hedge Counterparty and the Collateral Manager only if the Collateral Manager shall be unable
to deliver the sale agreement or agreements or certifications (described in Section 9.1(b)), in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, or to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of an Auction Call Redemption set forth in
Section 9.5, as the case may be. The Trustee will, if any Class of Notes to have been redeemed was listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, deliver a notice of such withdrawal to the Company Announcements Office of the Irish Stock Exchange not less
than three Business Days prior to the scheduled Redemption Date and promptly notify the Irish Stock Exchange of such withdrawal. 
  
 The Issuer shall exercise its option to redeem the Notes as provided in Section 9.1(a) only upon receipt of the written direction of a
Majority-in-Interest of Preferred Shareholders. 
  
 Notice of
redemption shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, to the Hedge Counterparty on the third Business Day prior to the scheduled Redemption Date; provided, that
the Hedge Agreements in effect at the time notice of redemption is given shall remain in effect until liquidation of the Collateral has begun and such notice is no longer capable of being rescinded or annulled; provided further, that if the
Hedge Agreements shall have become subject to early termination prior to the receipt of such notice, the Issuer shall enter into one or more replacement Hedge Agreements for the terminated Hedge Agreement in accordance with Section 16.1(h).

  
 At the cost of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee shall give notice
of any withdrawal by overnight courier guaranteeing next day delivery, sent not later than the third Business Day prior to the scheduled Redemption Date, to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s address in the Note Register and
to the Hedge Counterparty. 
  
 Notice of redemption shall be given
by the Co-Issuers or, at the Co-Issuers’ request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Co-Issuers. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note selected for redemption shall not impair
or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Notes. 
  
 Section 9.4. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. 
  
 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein 

  

 141 

 
specified, and from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Co-Issuers shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any)
such Notes shall cease to bear interest on the Redemption Date. Upon final payment on a Note to be redeemed, the Holder shall present and surrender such Note at the place specified in the notice of redemption on or prior to such Redemption Date;
provided, that if there is delivered to the Co-Issuers and the Trustee (i) in the case of a Holder that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and
(ii) an undertaking thereafter to surrender such Note, then, in the absence of notice to the Co-Issuers and the Trustee that the applicable Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation
or surrender. Installments of interest on Notes of a Class so to be redeemed whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close
of business on the relevant Record Date according to the terms and provisions of Section 2.6(e). 
  
 If any Note called for redemption shall not be paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal thereof shall, until paid, bear interest from the
Redemption Date at the applicable Note Interest Rate for each successive Interest Period that the Note remains Outstanding. 
  
 Section 9.5. Auction Call Redemption. 
  
 In accordance with the procedures set forth in Schedule C (the “Auction Procedures”), the Collateral Manager shall, at the expense of the
Co-Issuers, conduct an auction (the “Auction”) of all the Collateral Debt Securities if, on or prior to the Distribution Date occurring in April 2015, the Notes have not been redeemed in full. The Auction shall be conducted not later than
(a) the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date occurring in April 2015, and (b) if the Notes are not redeemed in full on such Distribution Date, each Distribution Date thereafter until all of the Collateral
Debt Securities have been sold (each such date, an “Auction Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Manager shall not conduct an Auction on an Auction Date if an Auction was conducted on the preceding Auction Date and, due to
market conditions, an Auction on such Auction Date is unlikely to be successful. Any of the Collateral Manager, the Preferred Shareholders, the Trustee or their respective Affiliates may, but shall not be required to, bid at the Auction. The
Collateral Manager shall sell and transfer, or shall instruct the Trustee to sell and transfer, the Collateral Debt Securities to the highest bidder therefor (or the highest bidders therefor, in the event the pool of Collateral Debt Securities is
divided and sold in Subpools) at the Auction; provided, that: 
  
 (i) the Auction has been conducted in accordance with the Auction Procedures; 
  
 (ii) the Collateral Manager has received bids for the Collateral Debt Securities (or for each of the related Subpools) from at least two
prospective purchasers (including the winning bidder) identified on a list of qualified bidders (such bidders, “Qualified Bidders”) furnished by the Collateral Manager to the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture; provided, that
the Issuer will be entitled to enter into an agreement for the purchase of the Collateral Debt Securities (or the relevant Subpool) with a Person other than a Qualified Bidder in the event that (A) such Person provides a bid in an amount

  

 142 

 
greater than the highest bid received from any Qualified Bidder, (B) the Rating Condition is satisfied with respect thereto and (C) such Person
provides credit support in respect of its purchase obligation in the form and amount requested, if any, by the Collateral Manager, the Issuer or any Rating Agency (including, without limitation, in the form of a letter of credit if so requested);
provided, further, that in the event the Collateral Manager, the Preferred Shareholders, the Trustee or their respective Affiliates has met the requirements set forth in subclauses (B) and (C) of the preceding proviso, the
Collateral Manager, the Preferred Shareholders, the Trustee, the Placement Agent or their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to purchase the Collateral Debt Securities, or any portion thereof, at a purchase price equal to the highest bid
received therefor; and provided, still further, that, in accordance with the Auction Procedures, if the Trustee receives fewer than two bids to purchase all of the Collateral Debt Securities or to purchase each Subpool, the Trustee
may, if a Majority-in-Interest of the Preferred Shareholders consents thereto in writing, and in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, accept such bid as the winning bid; 
  
 (iii) the Collateral Manager certifies that the highest bid(s) would result in the sale of all of the
Collateral Debt Securities (or the related Subpools constituting all of the Collateral Debt Securities) for a purchase price (paid in cash) which together with the balance of all Eligible Investments and cash held by the Issuer (other than Eligible
Investments and cash held in any Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account), together with the principal balance of any Subpools of Collateral Debt Securities that are not sold on or prior to such date, will be at least equal to the sum of (x) the
Total Senior Redemption Amount, plus (y) an amount equal to the greater of (1)(A) the aggregate original purchase price of the Preferred Shares on the Closing Date, minus (B) the aggregate amount of all cash
distributions on the Preferred Shares (whether in respect of dividends or redemption payments made to the Preferred Share Paying Agent for distribution to the Preferred Shareholders on or prior to the relevant Auction Date) and (2) zero; and

  
 (iv) subject to the proviso in paragraph
(ii) above, the Qualified Bidder(s) who offered the Highest Auction Price for the Collateral Debt Securities (or the related Subpools) enter(s) into a written agreement with the Issuer (which the Issuer shall execute if the conditions set forth
in (i) through (iii) of this Section 9.5 are satisfied, which execution shall constitute certification by the Issuer that such conditions have been satisfied) that obligates the highest bidder (or the highest bidder for each Subpool)
to purchase all of the Collateral Debt Securities (or the relevant Subpool) with the closing of such purchase (and full payment in Cash to the Trustee) to occur on or prior to the sixth Business Day following the relevant Auction Date. 

 
 Provided that all of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through
(iv) of this Section 9.5 have been met, the Collateral Manager shall sell and transfer, or shall instruct the Trustee to sell and transfer, the Collateral Debt Securities (or each related Subpool), without representation, warranty or
recourse, to such highest bidder (or the highest bidder for each Subpool, as the case may be) in accordance with and upon completion of the Auction Procedures. The Trustee shall deposit the purchase price for the Collateral Debt Securities in the
Collection Accounts and the Notes and, to the extent funds are available therefor, the Preferred Shares shall be redeemed on the Distribution Date immediately following the relevant Auction 

  

 143 

 
Date (such redemption, an “Auction Call Redemption”) in accordance with the Priority of Payment. 
  
 If any of the foregoing conditions is not met with respect to any Auction, or
if the highest bidder (or the highest bidder for any Subpool, as the case may be) fails to pay the purchase price on or before the sixth Business Day following the relevant Auction Date (and, in the case of any credit support provider in connection
with a sale described in paragraph (ii) above, the provider of such credit support shall default in its payment obligations thereunder), (a) no Auction Call Redemption shall occur on the Distribution Date following the relevant Auction
Date, (b) the Collateral Manager shall give notice to the Trustee of the withdrawal pursuant to Section 9.3, (c) subject to clause (d) below, the Collateral Manager or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall decline to consummate
such sale and shall not solicit any further bids or otherwise negotiate any further sale of Collateral Debt Securities in relation to such Auction and (d) unless the Notes are redeemed in full prior to the next succeeding Auction Date, or the
market conditions are such that such Auction would not likely be successful, the Collateral Manager shall conduct another Auction on the next succeeding Auction Date. 
  
 Section 9.6. Redemption and Disposition of Combination Notes. 
  
 Upon any redemption or disposition of Notes pursuant to this Article 9, each
Combination Note with a Component of such Note will receive payment in respect of such Notes. Thereafter, the Combination Notes will represent only such Component of such Notes that shall not have been redeemed. 
  
 ARTICLE X 
  
 ACCOUNTS, ACCOUNTINGS AND RELEASES 
  
 Section 10.1. Collection of Money. 
  
 (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and
collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all Cash and other property payable to or receivable by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, including all payments due on the Pledged Securities,
in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Pledged Securities. The Trustee shall segregate and hold all such Cash and property received by it in trust for the Secured Parties and shall apply it as provided in this Indenture. 
  
 (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees to cause the Custodian and any
other Securities Intermediary that holds any Cash or other property for the Co-Issuers in an Account to agree with the parties hereto that (x) each Account is a Securities Account in respect of which the Trustee is the Entitlement Holder,
(y) the Cash, Securities and other property credited to any Account is to be treated as a Financial Asset under Article 8 of the UCC and (z) the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the meaning of
Section 8-110 of the UCC) for that purpose will be the State of New York. In no event may any Financial Asset held in any Account be registered in the name of, payable to the order of, or specially indorsed to, the Issuer unless such Financial
Asset has also been indorsed in blank or to the Custodian or other Securities 
  

 144 

 Intermediary that holds such Financial Asset in such Account. Each Account shall be held and maintained at an office
located in the State of New York. In addition, any Account may include any number of sub-accounts deemed necessary or appropriate by the Trustee for convenience in administering such account. 
  
 Section 10.2. Principal Collection Account; Interest Collection
Account; Custodial Account. 
  
 (a) The Trustee shall, prior
to the Closing Date, cause to be established a Securities Account that shall be designated as the “Interest Collection Account,” which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, into which the Trustee shall from time to time deposit, in addition to the deposits required pursuant to Section 10.7(d), (i) all proceeds received from the disposition of any Collateral to the extent such proceeds constitute
Interest Proceeds (unless simultaneously reinvested pursuant to Section 10.2(f) in other Collateral Debt Securities, subject to the Collateral Debt Security Criteria and the Eligibility Criteria, or in Eligible Investments) and (ii) all
other Interest Proceeds. 
  
 (b) The Trustee shall, prior to the
Closing Date, cause to be established a Securities Account that shall be designated as the “Principal Collection Account,” which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, into which the Trustee shall from time to time deposit, in addition to the deposits required pursuant to Section 10.2(d), (i) all proceeds received from the disposition of any Collateral to the extent such proceeds constitute
Principal Proceeds (unless simultaneously reinvested in Eligible Investments) and (ii) all other Principal Proceeds. 
  
 (c) The Issuer may, but under no circumstances shall be required to, deposit or cause to be deposited from time to time such Cash in a Collection Account
as it deems, in its sole discretion, to be advisable and by notice to the Trustee may designate that such Cash is to be treated as Principal Proceeds or Interest Proceeds hereunder at its discretion. All Cash deposited from time to time in a
Collection Account pursuant to this Indenture shall be held by the Trustee as part of the Collateral and shall be applied to the purposes herein provided. The Collection Accounts shall remain at all times with a financial institution having a
long-term debt rating of at least “BBB+” by Standard & Poor’s and at least “BBB+” by Fitch and capital and surplus of a least U.S.$200,000,000. 
  
 (d) All Distributions, any deposit required pursuant to Section 10.2(e) and any net proceeds from the sale or
disposition of a Collateral Debt Security or Equity Security received by the Trustee shall be immediately deposited into the Interest Collection Account or the Principal Collection Account, as the case may be (unless, in the case of proceeds
received from the sale or disposition of any Collateral, such proceeds are simultaneously reinvested pursuant to Section 10.2(f) in Eligible Investments), other than 50% of any interest payments on a semi-annual interest paying security
received in cash by the Issuer in any Due Period which will be deposited in the Semi-Annual Interest Reserve Account. Subject to Sections 10.2(f), 10.2(g) and 11.2, all amounts deposited in the Collection Accounts, together with any securities in
which funds included in such property are or will be invested or reinvested during the term of this Indenture, and any income or other gain realized from such investments, shall be held by the Trustee in the Collection Accounts as part of the
Collateral subject to disbursement and withdrawal as provided 

  

 145 

 
in this Section 10.2. By Issuer Order executed by an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager (which may be in the form of standing instructions),
the Issuer shall at all times direct the Trustee to, and, upon receipt of such Issuer Order, the Trustee shall, invest all funds received into the Collection Accounts during a Due Period, and amounts received in prior Due Periods and retained in the
Collection Accounts, as so directed in Eligible Investments. The Trustee, within one Business Day after receipt of any Distribution or other proceeds which are not Cash, shall so notify the Issuer and the Issuer shall, within five Business Days of
receipt of such notice from the Trustee, sell such Distribution or other proceeds for Cash in an arm’s-length transaction to a Person which is not an Affiliate of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager and deposit the proceeds thereof in the
Interest Collection Account or Principal Collection Account, as the case may be, for investment pursuant to this Section 10.2; provided, that the Issuer need not sell such Distributions or other proceeds if it delivers an Officer’s
certificate to the Trustee certifying that such Distributions or other proceeds constitute Collateral Debt Securities or Eligible Investments. 
  
 (e) If, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Issuer shall not have given any investment directions pursuant to Section 10.2(d), the
Trustee shall seek instructions from the Collateral Manager within three Business Days after transfer of such funds to a Collection Account. If the Trustee does not thereupon receive written instructions from the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on
behalf of the Issuer) within five Business Days after transfer of such funds to a Collection Account, it shall invest and reinvest the funds held in such Collection Account, as fully as practicable, but only in one or more Eligible Investments of
the type described in clause (d) of the definition thereof. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall invest and reinvest such Monies as fully as practicable in Eligible Investments of the type described in clause
(d) of the definition thereof maturing not later than the earlier of (i) 30 days after the date of such investment or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the next Distribution Date. All interest and other income from such
investments shall be deposited into the applicable Collection Account in accordance with Sections 10.2(a) and (b), any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the related Collection Account, and any loss resulting from such
investments shall be charged to the related Collection Account. Any gain or loss with respect to an Eligible Investment shall be allocated in such a manner as to increase or decrease, respectively, Principal Proceeds and/or Interest Proceeds in the
proportion which the amount of Principal Proceeds and/or Interest Proceeds used to acquire such Eligible Investment bears to the purchase price thereof. The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency of a Collection
Account resulting from any loss relating to any such investment. 
  
 (f) The Trustee shall transfer to the Payment Account for application pursuant to Section 11.1(a) and in accordance with the calculations and the instructions contained in the Note Valuation Report prepared by the Issuer pursuant to
Section 10.9(c), on or prior to the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, any amounts then held in the Collection Accounts other than Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds received after the end of the Due Period with respect to such
Distribution Date (except for certain amounts that are received by the Issuer in respect of the Hedge Agreements on the Distribution Date related to such Due Period and which constitute Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds); provided,
that, to the extent that Principal Proceeds in the Principal Collection Account as of such date are in excess of the amounts required to be applied pursuant to the Priority of Payments up to and including the next Distribution Date as shown in the
Note Valuation Report with respect to such Distribution Date, 

  

 146 

 
the Issuer may direct the Trustee to retain such excess amounts in the Principal Collection Account and not to transfer such excess amounts to the Payment
Account. 
  
 (g) The Trustee shall apply amounts on deposit in the
Collection Accounts in accordance with any Redemption Date Statement delivered to the Trustee in connection with the redemption of Notes pursuant to Section 9.1. 
  
 (h) The Trustee shall, upon Issuer Order, apply amounts on deposit in the Interest Collection Account and Principal
Collection Account in accordance with Section 11.2. 
  
 (i)
The Trustee shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause the Custodian to establish a Securities Account that shall be designated as the “Custodial Account,” which shall be in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the
benefit of the Secured Parties and into which the Trustee shall from time to time deposit Collateral. All Collateral from time to time deposited in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the Custodial Account pursuant to this Indenture shall be
held by the Trustee as part of the Collateral and shall be applied to the purposes herein provided. The Trustee agrees to give the Issuer immediate notice if the Custodial Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise standing to the credit
of the Custodial Account, shall become subject to any writ, order judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. Neither Co-Issuer shall have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Custodial Account other than in
accordance with the Priority of Payments. 
  
 Section 10.3.
Payment Account. 
  
 The Trustee shall, prior to the
Closing Date, establish a Securities Account that shall be designated as the “Payment Account,” which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Any and all funds at any
time on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Payment Account shall be held in trust by the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Except as provided in Sections 11.1 and 11.2, the only permitted withdrawal from or application of
funds on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the Payment Account shall be to pay the interest on and the principal of the Notes in accordance with their terms and the provisions of this Indenture and, upon Issuer Order, to pay
administrative expenses and other amounts specified therein, each in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Trustee agrees to give the Co-Issuers and the Hedge Counterparty immediate notice if the Payment Account or any funds on deposit
therein, or otherwise standing to the credit of the Payment Account, shall become subject to, any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. Neither Co-Issuer shall have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in
the Payment Account other than in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Payment Account shall remain at all times with a financial institution having a long-term debt rating of at least “BBB+” by Standard & Poor’s and
at least “BBB+” by Fitch and capital and surplus of a least U.S.$200,000,000. 
  
 Section 10.4. Expense Account, Semi-Annual Interest Reserve Account, Interest Reserve Account and First Distribution Date Reserve Account. 
  
 (a) The Trustee shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause to be established a Securities Account that shall be designated as
the “Expense Account” and a Securities Account which shall 

  

 147 

 
be designated as the “Interest Reserve Account,” both of which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the
benefit of the Secured Parties. Any and all funds at any time on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Expense Account or the Interest Reserve Account shall be held in trust by the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Except as
provided in Sections 11.1 and 11.2, the only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the Expense Account shall be to pay (on any day other than a Distribution Date) accrued and unpaid
administrative expenses of the Co-Issuers (other than fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Collateral Management Fee, but including other amounts payable by the Issuer to the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement or this
Indenture). The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the Interest Reserve Account shall be in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.4(a). On the Closing Date, the
Trustee shall deposit into the Expense Account an amount equal to U.S.$100,000.00 from the net proceeds received by the Issuer on such date from the initial issuance of the Notes and the Preferred Shares. Thereafter, (i) the Trustee shall
transfer to the Expense Account and the Interest Reserve Account from the Payment Account amounts required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 11.1(a) and in accordance with the calculations and the instruction contained in the Note
Valuation Report prepared by the Issuer pursuant to Section 10.9(c) and (ii) on each Distribution Date on and prior to the Distribution Date in April 2008, U.S.$83,333.00 shall be deposited into the Interest Reserve Account, and on each
Distribution Date thereafter on which any Notes remain Outstanding and the amount on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account is not at least $1,000,000.00, 15% of the Interest Proceeds remaining following payment of interest on the Notes will be
deposited into the Interest Reserve Account until the amount on deposit therein equals $1,000,000.00 (after giving effect to such deposit). The Issuer shall, by Issuer Order executed by an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager, direct the
Trustee to, and, upon receipt of such Issuer Order, the Trustee shall, (i) transfer from the Interest Reserve Account to the Payment Account for application pursuant to Section 11.1(a) as Interest Proceeds (x) on each Distribution
Date an amount equal to the Shortfall Amount, if any, and (y) on the first Distribution Date on which there are no Notes Outstanding, all remaining amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account and (ii) transfer all funds on deposit
in the Expense Account, at the time when substantially all of the Issuer’s assets have been sold or otherwise disposed of (as determined by the Collateral Manager), and deposit such funds into the Payment Account for application pursuant to
Section 11.1(a) as Interest Proceeds on the immediately succeeding Distribution Date. 
  
 (b) The Trustee agrees to give the Co-Issuers and Hedge Counterparty immediate notice if the Expense Account or the Interest Reserve Account or any funds on deposit in either, or otherwise standing to the credit of
the Expense Account or the Interest Reserve Account, shall become subject to, any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. The Expense Account and the Interest Reserve Account shall remain at all times with a
financial institution having a long-term debt rating of at least “BBB+” by Standard & Poor’s and at least “BBB+” by Fitch and capital and surplus of a least U.S.$200,000,000. 
  
 (c) By Issuer Order executed by an Authorized Officer of the Collateral
Manager (which may be in the form of standing instructions), the Issuer shall at all times direct the Trustee to, and, upon receipt of such Issuer Order, the Trustee shall, invest all funds received into the Expense Account or in the Interest
Reserve Account during a Due Period, and amounts received 

  

 148 

 
in prior Due Periods and retained in the Expense Account or the Interest Reserve Account, as so directed in Eligible Investments. All interest and other
income from such investments shall be deposited in the Expense Account or the Interest Reserve Account, as applicable, any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the Expense Account or the Interest Reserve Account, as applicable,
and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Expense Account or the Interest Reserve Account, as applicable. The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency of such Expense Account or Interest
Reserve Account resulting from any loss relating to any such investment. 
  
 (d) On the Closing Date, after payment of the organizational and structuring fees and expenses of the Issuer (including, without limitation, the legal fees and expenses of counsel to the Issuer, the Placement Agent
and the Collateral Manager) and the expenses of offering the Offered Securities, U.S.$500,000 from the proceeds of the offering of the Offered Securities will be deposited by the Trustee into a single, segregated account established hereunder on the
Closing Date by the Trustee and designated as the “First Distribution Date Reserve Account”. The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the First Distribution Date
Reserve Account shall be as follows: at least one Business Day prior to the first Distribution Date, the Trustee will transfer all amounts from the First Distribution Date Reserve Account to the Payment Account for application (x) as Interest
Proceeds on the first Distribution Date for distribution to the Holders of the Notes if, and only to the extent, necessary for such Noteholders to receive the accrued and unpaid interest due and payable in respect of such Notes on such first
Distribution Date pursuant to clauses (5) and (6) of Section 11.1(a)(i) and (y) to the extent that there are any amounts remaining after application as provided in the preceding clause (x), for application as Interest Proceeds in
accordance with the Priority of Payments. 
  
 (e) On the Closing
Date, the Trustee will establish and maintain a single, segregated account designated as the “Semi-Annual Interest Reserve Account”. On any date upon which the Issuer receives interest payments in cash in respect of semiannual interest
paying securities, the Trustee will deposit 50% of such interest payments on semi-annual interest paying securities. At least one Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall transfer all amounts deposited in the Semi-Annual
Interest Reserve Account on or prior to the Determination Date preceding the last Distribution Date preceding the last Distribution Date (including any interest accrued on any such amount) to the Payment Account for application as Interest Proceeds
in accordance with the Priority of Payments and such transfer shall be the only permitted withdrawal from, or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the Semi-Annual Interest Reserve Account. 
  
 Section 10.5. Uninvested Proceeds Account. 
  
 The Trustee shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause to be established a
Securities Account which shall be designated as the “Uninvested Proceeds Account,” which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
deposit therein all Uninvested Proceeds (other than the portion thereof that is (i) used by the Issuer to pay the organizational fees and other expenses of the Issuer incurred in connection with the effectuation of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents on the Closing Date (including, without limitation, the legal fees and 

  

 149 

 
expenses of counsel to the Issuer, the Placement Agent and the Collateral Manager), the expenses of offering the Securities and (ii) deposited in the
Expense Account on such date). The Issuer may, prior to the Ramp-Up Completion Date, use funds on deposit in the Uninvested Proceeds account to acquire Collateral Debt Securities in accordance with the terms of Section 7.18. Prior to such use
of such funds by the Issuer, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may direct the Trustee to, and upon such direction the Trustee shall, invest funds in the Uninvested Proceeds Account in Eligible Investments. All interest and other income
from such investments shall be deposited in the Uninvested Proceeds Account, any gain realized from such investments shall be credited to the Uninvested Proceeds Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the
Uninvested Proceeds Account. The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency of such Uninvested Proceeds Account resulting from any loss relating to any such investment. Investment earnings on Eligible Investments in
the Uninvested Proceeds Account will be transferred to the Interest Collection Account, to be treated as Interest Proceeds, on or prior to the Ramp-Up Completion Date. Other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, on or prior to the Ramp-Up
Completion Date, the Trustee will transfer any Uninvested Proceeds remaining on deposit in the Uninvested Proceeds Account to the Interest Collection Account or the Payment Account at the Collateral Manager’s discretion (i) if a Ratings
Confirmation has occurred, to be treated as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds, respectively, to be distributed in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and (ii) in the event of a Ramp-Up Ratings Confirmation Failure, to be treated as
Uninvested Proceeds to the extent the Rating Agencies require that Uninvested Proceeds be used to make payments in respect of principal on Notes and to be treated as Principal Proceeds, to be distributed in accordance with the Priority of Payments,
to the extent such funds are in excess of the amount of funds necessary to meet the requirements of the Rating Agencies. Promptly following the Ramp-Up Completion Date the Trustee shall cause the Uninvested Proceeds Account to be closed. 

 
 Section 10.6. Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account.

  
 The Trustee shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause to be
established one or more securities accounts, each of which shall be designated a “Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account,” which shall be held in the name of the Trustee as Entitlement Holder in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
The Trustee shall deposit all collateral received from any Hedge Counterparty under any Hedge Agreement in the related Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account. Any and all funds at any time on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, a
Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account shall be held in trust by the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, a Hedge
Counterparty Collateral Account shall be (i) for application to obligations of the relevant Hedge Counterparty to the Issuer under the relevant Hedge Agreement that are not paid when due (whether when scheduled or upon early termination) or
(ii) to return collateral to such Hedge Counterparty when and as required by the relevant Hedge Agreement (in each case as directed in writing by the Collateral Manager). The Trustee shall reinvest amounts in the Hedge Counterparty Collateral
Account in Eligible Investments in accordance with the terms of the related Hedge Agreement, upon and as set forth in written direction from the Collateral Manager, and shall have no liability for any such investments. The Trustee shall not be
obligated to make any such investment in the absence of such written instruction.

Rating assigned by any Rating Agency with respect to any Collateral Debt Security without the prior consent of such Rating Agency. The Trustee shall provide access at the Trustee’s website to each Monthly Report and Note Valuation Report
electronically to Standard & Poor’s and Fitch.

 In addition to the Note Valuation Report, upon the written request of any
Holder of a Note shown on the Note Register or any Rating Agency, the Issuer shall deliver to such Holder or Rating Agency, as the case may be, a report containing the number and identity of each Collateral Debt Security held by the Issuer on the
last day of the Due Period most recently ended (indicating whether any such Collateral Debt Security is a Defaulted Security or Deferred Interest Collateral Debt Security (as reported in writing to the Trustee by the Collateral Manager)).

  
 In addition to the foregoing information, each Note Valuation
Report shall include a statement to the following effect: 
  
 Each of the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and the Indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued requires that each Holder of a Note issued by
the Co-Issuers (or beneficial interest therein) be a “Qualified Purchaser,” as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, each of the Co-Issuers or an agent acting on their behalf must
have a “reasonable belief” that each holder of its outstanding securities that is a U.S. Person, including transferees, is a Qualified Purchaser. Consequently, and as a result of the restrictions contained in the Indenture, each resale of
a Note in the United States or to a U.S. Person must be made pursuant to Rule 144A or another exemption from the registration requirements under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, solely to a purchaser that is both (i) a
Qualified Institutional Buyer and (ii) a Qualified Purchaser. Each transferee of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note will be deemed to represent at the time of purchase that: (a) the purchaser is both (i) a Qualified
Institutional Buyer and (ii) a Qualified Purchaser; (b) the purchaser is not a dealer described in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of Rule 144A unless such purchaser owns and invests on a discretionary basis at least U.S.$25,000,000 in securities of
issuers that are not affiliated persons of the dealer; and (c) the purchaser is not a plan referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(D) or (a)(1)(i)(E) of Rule 144A, or a trust fund referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(F) of Rule 144A that holds the
assets of such a plan, unless investment decisions with respect to the plan are made solely by the fiduciary, trustee or sponsor of such plan; (d) the transferee and each account for which it is purchasing is required to hold and transfer at
least the minimum denominations of the Notes specified in the Indenture and (e) the purchaser will provide written notice of the foregoing, and of any applicable restrictions on transfer, to any transferee. 
  
 The Co-Issuers direct 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 the Note with respect to which this Note Valuation Report is delivered, as indicated on the 

  

 156 

 
books of The Depository Trust Company or on the books of a participant in The Depository Trust Company or on the books of an indirect participant for which
such participant in The Depository Trust Company acts as agent. 
  
 If, notwithstanding the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Indenture, either of the Co-Issuers determines that any beneficial owner of a Restricted Definitive Note or an interest in a Restricted Global Note (or
any interest therein) (A) is a U.S. Person and (B) was not a Qualified Purchaser at the time of its acquisition thereof, then either of the Co-Issuers may require, by notice to such holder, that such holder sell all of its right, title and
interest in such Restricted Definitive Note or (x) such Restricted Global Note (or interest therein) to a Person that is both a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser with such sale to be effected within 30 days after notice of
such sale requirement is given. If such beneficial owner fails to effect the transfer required within such 30-day period, (i) upon direction from the Issuer, the Trustee (on behalf of and at the expense of the Issuer) shall cause such
beneficial owner’s interest in such Note to be transferred in a commercially reasonable sale (conducted by the Trustee in accordance with Section 9-610(b) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York) to a person
that certifies to the Trustee, the Co-Issuers and the Collateral Manager, in connection with such transfer, that such person is both a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser and (ii) pending such transfer, no further payments
will be made in respect of such Note held by such beneficial owner. 
  
 (d) Section 3(c)(7) Reminder Notice. Pursuant to Section 7.20, the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall provide to each Holder, in conjunction with the Note Valuation Report delivered pursuant to Section 10.9(c), a
Section 3(c)(7) Reminder Notice. 
  
 (e) Redemption Date
Instructions. Not less than five Business Days after receiving an Issuer Request requesting information regarding a redemption pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Notes of a Class as of a proposed Redemption Date set forth in such Issuer
Request, the Trustee shall provide the necessary information (to the extent it is available to the Trustee) to the Co-Issuers and the Hedge Counterparty, and the Issuer shall compute the following information and provide such information in a
statement (the “Redemption Date Statement”) delivered to the Trustee: 
  
 (i) the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes of the Class or Classes to be redeemed as of such Redemption Date; 

 
 (ii) the amount of accrued interest due on such Notes as
of the last day of the Interest Period immediately preceding such Redemption Date; and 
  
 (iii) the amount in the Interest Collection Account, the Principal Collection Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Expense Account
and the Payment Account available for application to the redemption of such Notes. 
  

 157 

 (f) If the Trustee shall not have received any accounting provided for in this Section on the first
Business Day after the date on which such accounting is due to the Trustee, the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to cause such accounting to be made by the applicable Distribution Date or Redemption Date. To the extent the Trustee is required to
provide any information or reports pursuant to this Section 10.6 as a result of the failure of the Issuer to provide such information or reports, the Trustee shall be entitled to retain an Independent certified public accountant in connection
therewith and the reasonable costs incurred by the Trustee for such Independent certified public accountant shall be reimbursed pursuant to Section 6.7. 
  
 (g) Appointment of Agent. The Issuer may appoint an administrator or other agent to prepare reports pursuant to this Section 10.6 and certain
calculations related thereto. 
  
 (h) Annual Reports to
Fitch. Not later than the fifth Business Day preceding each Distribution Date occurring in April of each year, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Fitch a list containing
the name and regulatory identification number of each Collateral Debt Securities Issuer, together with such financial information regarding each such Collateral Debt Securities Issuer as Fitch may reasonably request. 
  
 (i) Posting of Reports on Repository. Each of the Co-Issuers, the
Trustee and the Collateral Manager acknowledges and agrees that each Monthly Report and Note Valuation Report shall be posted to the Repository for use in the manner provided in the Repository. In connection therewith, the Issuer agrees to deliver
or otherwise make available each Monthly Report and Note Valuation Report to the operator of the Repository for posting on the Repository. 
  
 Section 10.10. Release of Securities. 
  
 (a) If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to Section 12, the Issuer may, by Issuer Order executed by an Authorized
Officer of the Collateral Manager and delivered to the Trustee at least two Business Days prior to the settlement date for any sale of a security certifying that the conditions set forth in Section 12.1 are satisfied, direct the Trustee to
release such security from the lien of this Indenture against receipt of payment therefor. 
  
 (b) The Issuer may, by Issuer Order executed by an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager and delivered to the Trustee at least two Business Days prior to the date set for redemption or payment in full of a
Pledged Security, certifying that such security is being redeemed or paid in full, direct the Trustee or, at the Trustee’s instructions, the Custodian to deliver such security, if in physical form, duly endorsed, or, if such security is a
Clearing Corporation Security, to cause it to be presented, to the appropriate paying agent therefor on or before the date set for redemption or payment, in each case against receipt of the redemption price or payment in full thereof. 
  
 (c) If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to
Section 12, the Issuer may, by Issuer Order executed by an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager and delivered to the Trustee or, at the Trustee’s instructions, the Custodian, at least two Business 

  

 158 

 
Days prior to the date set for an exchange, tender or sale, certifying that a Collateral Debt Security is subject to an Offer and setting forth in reasonable
detail the procedure for response to such Offer, direct the Trustee to deliver such security, if in physical form, duly endorsed, or, if such security is a Clearing Corporation Security, to cause it to be delivered, in accordance with such Issuer
Order, in each case against receipt of payment therefor. 
  
 (d)
The Trustee shall deposit any proceeds received by it from the disposition of a Pledged Security in the Interest Collection Account or the Principal Collection Account, as the case may be, unless simultaneously applied to the purchase of other
Collateral Debt Securities or Eligible Investments as permitted under and in accordance with requirements of Section 12 and this Section 10.10. 
  
 (e) The Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order at such time as there are no Notes Outstanding and all obligations of the Co-Issuers hereunder have
been satisfied, release the Collateral from the lien of this Indenture. 
  
 (f) The Issuer may retain agents (including the Collateral Manager) to assist the Issuer in preparing any notice or other report required under this Section 10.10.

 168 

 (i) at the direction of a Majority-in-Interest of the Preferred Shareholders sell any
Equity Security within 30 days after such request therefor by a Majority-in-Interest of the Preferred Shareholders (or within 30 days of such later date as such security or other consideration may first be sold in accordance with its terms and
applicable law); and 
  
 (ii) sell any other
security or other consideration received in an exchange pursuant to Section 6.16 that is not a Collateral Debt Security or an Eligible Investment within one year after the Issuer’s receipt thereof (or within one year of such later date as
such security or other consideration may first be sold in accordance with its terms and applicable law).

Section 12.1(a), and after the Issuer has notified the Trustee of an Optional Redemption or a Tax Redemption in accordance with Section 9.2, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer acting pursuant to the Collateral Management
Agreement may at any time direct the Trustee in writing to sell, and the Trustee shall sell in the manner directed by the Collateral Manager in writing, any Collateral Debt Security without regard to the foregoing limitations in
Section 12.1(a); provided, that: 
  
 (i) in connection with an Auction Call Redemption, Optional Redemption or Tax Redemption, the Sale Proceeds therefrom must be used to pay certain expenses and redeem all of the Notes in whole but not in part pursuant to Sections 9.1(a) and
(b), and upon any such sale the Trustee shall release such Collateral Debt Security pursuant to Section 10.8; 
  
 (ii) in connection with an Auction Call Redemption, Optional Redemption or Tax Redemption, the Issuer may not direct the Trustee to sell
(and the Trustee shall not be required to release) a Collateral Debt Security pursuant to this Section 12.1(c) unless 
  
 (x) the other provisions of this Indenture applicable to an Auction Call Redemption or an Optional Redemption, as the case may be, are
met; 
  
 (y) the Collateral Manager certifies to
the Trustee that in its reasonable judgment based on calculations included in the certification (which shall include the sales prices of the Collateral Debt Securities), the Sale Proceeds from the sale of one or more of the Collateral Debt
Securities (based on the criteria set forth in Section 9.1(b)(i) or (ii)) will be sufficient to pay the Redemption Price with respect to all the Notes pursuant to Section 9.1(a); and 
  
 (z) the Independent accountants appointed by the Issuer
pursuant to Section 10.9 shall confirm in writing the calculations made in clause (y) above; and 
  
 (iii) in connection with an Auction Call Redemption, Optional Redemption or Tax Redemption, all the Collateral Debt Securities to be sold
pursuant to this Section 12.1(c) 

  

 169 

 
must be sold in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 9.1(b)(i) or (ii), as applicable. 
  
 Section 12.2. Conditions Applicable to all Transactions Involving
Sales. 
  
 (a) Any transaction effected under this
Section 12 or under Section 10.2 shall be conducted on an arm’s length basis for fair market value as determined at the time the Issuer first enters a binding commitment to dispose of such Collateral Debt Security and in accordance
with the requirements of the Collateral Management Agreement, and, if effected with the Collateral Manager, the Issuer, the Trustee or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, shall be effected in a secondary market transaction on terms at least as
favorable to the Noteholders as would be the case if such Person were not so Affiliated. Unless the Collateral Manager determines in its reasonable judgment that sales of such Collateral Debt Securities or Eligible Investments are appropriate, the
Collateral Manager may refrain from directing the sale hereunder of securities of (i) Persons of which the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates or any of its or its Affiliates’ officers, directors or employees are directors or officers;
(ii) Persons for which the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates act as financial advisor or underwriter; or (iii) Persons about which the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates have information which the Collateral Manager
deems confidential or non-public or otherwise might prohibit it from trading such securities in accordance with applicable law. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to oversee compliance with this clause by the other parties. 
  
 (b) Upon any Grant pursuant to this Indenture, all of the Issuer’s
right, title and interest to the Pledged Securities shall be Granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, such Pledged Securities shall be registered in the name of the Trustee, and, if applicable, the Trustee shall receive such Pledged
Securities. The Trustee shall also receive, and the Issuer agrees to deliver, or to cause to be delivered, not later than the Ramp-Up Completion Date, (i) an Officer’s certificate of the Collateral Manager certifying that, as of the
Ramp-Up Completion Date, the Grant of each Collateral Debt Security acquired after the Closing Date and prior to the Ramp-Up Completion Date complies with the applicable conditions of and is permitted by this Indenture (and setting forth, to the
extent appropriate, calculations in reasonable detail necessary to determine such compliance) and (ii) an Officer’s certificate of the Issuer containing the statements set forth in Section 3.2(b). 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, in no event
may the Issuer acquire or hold any security or obligation that would subject the Issuer to net income tax in any jurisdiction. The foregoing shall not, however, preclude the Issuer from holding Equity Securities pending their sale in accordance with
Section 12.1(b)(ii) and (iii).

held by the Trustee as part of the Collateral and subject in all respects to the provisions of this Indenture, including this Section 13.1. 
  
 (e) Each Holder of Subordinate Interests agrees with the Hedge Counterparty and all Holders of Class A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes, Class D

including this Section 13.1; provided, that after all amounts payable pursuant to Sections 11.1(a)(i)(4) and 11.1(a)(ii)(1), the Class A Notes or the Class B Notes, as the case may be, have been paid in full, the Holders of

 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 Section 14.1. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. 
  

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such
matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such
Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
  
 Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager may be based, insofar as it relates to legal
matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such Authorized Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon
which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a
certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Authorized Officer of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or any other Person, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer,
the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or such other Person, unless such Authorized Officer of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager or such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters
are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may also be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, stating that the information with
respect to such matters is in the possession of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, 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 is a condition
precedent to the taking of any action by the Trustee at the request or direction of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, then notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer’s or the Co-Issuer’s
rights to make such request or direction, the Trustee shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such Default as provided in Section 6.1(d).

  
 Section 14.2. Acts of Noteholders and Hedge
Counterparty. 
  
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders or Hedge Counterparty 

  

 173 

 
may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders or Hedge Counterparty in person or by
an agent duly appointed in writing and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer
and/or the Co-Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action or actions embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders or Hedge Counterparty signing such instrument or
instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if made in the manner
provided in this Section 14.2. 
  
 (b) The fact and date of
the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
  
 (c) The principal amount and registered numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of his holding the same, shall be proved by the Note Register.

  
 (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder (and any transferee thereof) of such Note 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 Trustee or the Co-Issuers in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

 Section 14.4. Notices and Reports to Noteholders;
Waiver. 
  
 Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
where this Indenture provides for a report to Holders or for a notice to Holders of Notes of any event, 
  
 (a) such report or notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Notes if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Note
affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Note Register, not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date, prescribed for the giving of such report or notice; and 
  
 (b) such report or notice shall be in the English language. 
  
 Such reports and notices will be deemed to have been given on the date of
such mailing. 
  
 The Trustee will deliver to the Holder of any
Note shown on the Note Register any readily available information or notice requested to be so delivered, at the expense of the Co-Issuers. In addition, for so long as any Class of Notes is listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and so long as the rules
of such exchange so require, notices to the Holders of such Notes shall also be given by delivery to the Company Announcements Office of the Irish Stock Exchange. 
  

 176 

 Neither the failure to mail any notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder
of a Note shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Notes. 
  
 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of
such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
  
 In the event that, by reason of the suspension of the regular mail service as a result of a
strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. 
  
 Section 14.5. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. 
  
 The Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
  
 Section 14.6. Successors and Assigns.

provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
  
 Section 14.8. Benefits of Indenture. 
  
 The Hedge Counterparty shall be a third party beneficiary of each agreement
or obligation in this Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes or Hedge Agreements, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Collateral Manager, the Hedge
Counterparty, the Noteholders or the Preferred Shareholders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
  
 Section 14.9. Governing Law. 
  
 THIS INDENTURE AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THIS INDENTURE AND EACH NOTE AND ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY
WHATSOEVER (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) TO THIS INDENTURE OR ANY NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
  

 177 

 Section 14.10. Submission to Jurisdiction. 
  
 Each of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee hereby irrevocably submit
to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notes or this Indenture, and the Issuer, the Co-Issuer
and Trustee each hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or federal court. Each of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee hereby irrevocably waive, to the
fullest extent that they may legally do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any action or
proceeding by the mailing or delivery of copies of such process to it at the office of the Co-Issuers’ agent in New York set forth in Section 7.2. Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 
  
 Section 14.11. Counterparts. 
  
 This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
  
 Section 14.12. Judgment Currency. 
  
 This is
an international financing transaction in which the specification of Dollars (the “Specified Currency”), and the specification of the place of payment, as the case may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the
Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to payments of or on the Notes. The payment obligations of the Co-Issuers under this Indenture and the Notes shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another currency or
in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the
Specified Currency at the Specified Place. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or the Notes in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate
of exchange that shall be applied shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding that on which such judgment is
rendered. The obligation of the Co-Issuers in respect of any such sum due from the Co-Issuers hereunder shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business
Day following receipt by the Trustee of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder or under the Notes in the Second Currency the Trustee may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency
with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and the Co-Issuers hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment (but subject to the Priority of Payments as if such separate obligation in respect of each Class
of Notes constituted additional principal owing in respect of such Class of Notes), agree to indemnify the Trustee and each Noteholder against, and to pay the Trustee or such Noteholder, as the case may be, on 

  

 178 

 
demand in the Specified Currency, any difference between the sum originally due to the Trustee or such Noteholder, as the case may be, in the Specified
Currency and the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred. 
  
 Section 14.13. Confidentiality; Confidential Treatment of Documents. 
  
 (a) The parties hereto hereby agree that each such party (and each of their respective, and their respective affiliates’, employees, officers,
directors, agents and advisors) is, and has been from the commencement of discussions with respect to this transaction, permitted to disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment, tax structure and tax aspects
(as such terms are used in Internal Revenue Code Sections 6011, 6111 and 6112 and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of this transaction, and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions or other tax analyses) that are or have been
provided to such parties related to such tax structure and tax aspects. Each party hereto further acknowledges and agrees that its disclosure of the tax structure or tax aspects of this transaction is not limited in any way by any express or implied
understanding or agreement, oral or written (whether or not such understanding or agreement is legally binding). Furthermore, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that it does not know or have reason to know that its use or disclosure
of information relating to the tax structure or tax aspects of this transaction is limited in any other manner (such as where this Indenture is claimed to be proprietary or exclusive with respect to the tax structure or tax aspects of this
transaction) for the benefit of any other Person. To the extent that disclosure of the tax structure or tax aspects of this transaction by any party hereto is limited by any existing agreement between such parties, such limitation is agreed to be
void ab initio and such agreement is hereby amended to permit disclosure of the tax structure and tax aspects of this transaction as provided in this paragraph (a). 
  
 (b) Subject to paragraph (a) above and except as otherwise provided in this Indenture or as required by law or as
required to maintain the listing of the Notes and Preferred Shares on the Irish Stock Exchange, this Indenture and the Hedge Agreements shall be treated by the parties hereto as confidential. The Trustee shall provide a copy of this Indenture to any
Holder of a beneficial interest in any Note upon written request therefor certifying that it is such a Holder.

be automatically revoked (A) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder until such time, if any, as such Event of Default is cured or waived, (B) upon the occurrence of a termination event specified in Section 15 of the
Collateral Management Agreement or (C) upon a default in the performance, or breach, of any material covenant, representation, warranty or other agreement of the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement or in any certificate

remediable) continues for a period of 30 days after receipt of such notice. 
  
 Section 15.2. No Impairment. 
  
 The assignment made hereby is executed as collateral security, and the execution and delivery hereby shall not in any way impair or diminish the obligations of the Issuer under the provisions of the Collateral
Management Agreement, the Hedge Agreements or the Collateral Administration Agreement nor shall any of the obligations contained in the Collateral Management Agreement be imposed on the Trustee. 
  
 Section 15.3. Termination, Etc. 
  
 Upon the redemption and cancellation of the Notes and the payment of all
other Secured Obligations and the release of the Collateral from the lien of this Indenture, this assignment and all rights herein assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties shall cease and terminate and all the estate, right,
title and interest of the Trustee in, to and under the Collateral Management Agreement, the Hedge Agreements and the Collateral Administration Agreement shall revert to the Issuer and no further instrument or act shall be necessary to evidence such
termination and reversion. 
  
 Section 15.4. Issuer
Agreements, Etc. 
  
 The Issuer represents that it has not
executed any other assignment of the Collateral Management Agreement, the Hedge Agreements or the Collateral Administration Agreement. The Issuer agrees that this assignment is irrevocable, and that it will not take any action which is inconsistent
with this assignment or make any other assignment inconsistent herewith. The Issuer will, from time to time upon the request of the Trustee, execute all instruments of further assurance and all such supplemental instruments with respect to this
assignment as the Trustee may reasonably specify. The Issuer hereby agrees, and hereby undertakes to obtain the agreement and consent of the Collateral Manager in the Collateral Management Agreement, to the following:

 (c) the Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Trustee duplicate original copies of all notices, statements, communications and instruments delivered or required to be delivered to the Issuer pursuant to the
Collateral Management Agreement; 
  
 (d) after the Closing Date,
neither the Issuer nor the Collateral Manager will enter into any agreement amending, modifying or terminating the Collateral Management Agreement (other than in respect of an amendment or modification of the type that may be made to this Indenture
without Noteholder consent) or selecting or consenting to a successor Collateral Manager except in accordance with the Collateral Management Agreement and this Indenture; 
  
 (e) except as otherwise set forth herein and therein, the Collateral Manager shall continue to serve as Collateral Manager
under the Collateral Management Agreement notwithstanding that the Collateral Manager shall not have received amounts due it under the Collateral Management Agreement because sufficient funds were not then available hereunder to pay such amounts.
The Collateral Manager agrees not to institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings
under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws until at least one year and one day, or if longer the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this Indenture; provided,
that nothing in this clause shall preclude, or be deemed to estop, the Collateral Manager (A) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year and one day period, or if longer the applicable preference period then
in effect, in (x) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or (y) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer by a Person other than the
Collateral Manager or (B) from commencing against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or any properties of the Issuer any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceeding;

have a material conflict of interest between the Issuer and any other account or portfolio for which the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates is serving as investment advisor that relates to any action to be taken with respect to any Pledged
Security, then the Collateral Manager will give written notice to the Noteholders briefly describing such conflict and the action it proposes to take. The Collateral Manager will perform its obligations with respect to any such conflict in
accordance with the Collateral Management Agreement and with the care, skill, prudence and diligence that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the resolution of such conflict; and 
  

 181 

 (g) the Collateral Manager irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or
federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notes or this Indenture, and the Collateral Manager irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action
or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or federal court. The Collateral Manager irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may legally do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding. The Collateral Manager irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any action or proceeding by the mailing or delivery of copies of such process to it at the office of the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Manager
agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Hedge Counterparty Ratings Requirement, (ii) the Issuer shall collaterally assign its rights under such Hedge Agreement to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture and such Hedge Counterparty shall consent to such assignment and (iii) the
Rating Condition is satisfied. The Issuer shall enter into a Hedge Agreement only if (A) the relevant Hedge Counterparty shall be required in accordance with the terms of such Hedge Agreement to pay additional amounts to the Issuer sufficient
to cover any withholding tax due on payments made by such Hedge Counterparty to the Issuer under such Hedge Agreement, subject to the Issuer making customary payee tax representations and providing customary tax documentation and (B) such Hedge
Agreement contains “limited recourse” and “non-petition” provisions equivalent to the “limited recourse” and “non-petition” provisions set forth herein (mutatis mutandis). 
  
 (b) The Trustee shall, on behalf of the Issuer and in accordance with the
Note Valuation Report, pay amounts due to each Hedge Counterparty under the Hedge Agreements on any Distribution Date subject to and in accordance with Section 11.1. 
  

 182 

 (c) Each Hedge Agreement shall provide that, in respect of any Hedge Counterparty or transferee:

  
 (i) if the Hedge Rating Determining Party
ceases to satisfy the Hedge Counterparty Ratings Requirement, then such Hedge Counterparty shall, within the period specified in the Hedge Agreement following such ratings downgrade (solely at the expense of the Hedge Counterparty), enter into an
agreement with the Issuer in the form of the ISDA Credit Support Annex providing for the posting of collateral, or obtain a guarantee or make an assignment to a replacement Hedge Counterparty or take such other action which satisfies the Rating
Condition; and 
  
 (ii) if its Hedge Rating
Determining Party fails to satisfy the Ratings Threshold, then the Hedge Counterparty shall either (x) immediately assign its rights and obligations in and under the related Hedge Agreement (at its own expense) to another Hedge Counterparty
that has ratings at least equal to the Hedge Counterparty Ratings Requirement or (y) enter into any other agreement with or arrangement for the benefit of the Issuer and the Trustee that is reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee on behalf of
the Issuer and that satisfies the Rating Condition. 
  
 (d) The
Hedge Agreements will provide that upon the default by the relevant Hedge Counterparty in the payment when due of its obligations to the Issuer under such Hedge Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Trustee and,
if applicable, any guarantor of such Hedge Counterparty’s obligations under such Hedge Agreement. Upon its receipt of such notice (or, if earlier, when the Trustee becomes aware of such default) the Trustee shall make a demand on such Hedge
Counterparty, or any guarantor, if applicable, demanding payment forthwith. The Trustee shall give notice to the Noteholders and each Rating Agency upon the continuance of the failure by such Hedge Counterparty to perform its obligations for two
Business Days following a demand made by the Trustee on such Hedge Counterparty. 
  
 (e) If at any time any Hedge Agreement becomes subject to early termination due to the occurrence of an “event of default” or a "termination event" (each as defined in the relevant Hedge Agreement) where the
Hedge Counterparty is the defaulting party or the affected party, the Issuer shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Trustee, and the Issuer and the Trustee shall take such actions (following the expiration of any applicable grace period) to
enforce the rights of the Issuer and the Trustee thereunder, as instructed in writing by the Collateral Manager and as may be permitted by the terms of such Hedge Agreement and consistent with the terms hereof, and shall apply the proceeds of any
such actions (including the proceeds of the liquidation of any collateral pledged by such Hedge Counterparty) to the costs of such actions and to the cost of entering into a replacement Hedge Agreement to be arranged and entered into by the Issuer
on substantially identical terms or on such other terms with respect to which the Issuer has satisfied the Rating Condition. Any costs attributable to entering into a replacement Hedge Agreement which exceed the sum of the proceeds of the
liquidation of the terminated Hedge Agreement shall be borne by the “defaulting party” or sole “affected party” (each as defined in the relevant Hedge Agreement) with respect to the applicable “event of default” or
“termination event.” In determining the amount payable under the terminated Hedge Agreement, the Issuer will seek quotations from “Reference Market-makers” (as defined in the relevant Hedge Agreement) that satisfy the Hedge
Counterparty Ratings Requirement. In addition, the Issuer will use its best efforts to cause the termination of a Hedge Agreement to become effective simultaneously with the entry into a replacement Hedge Agreement described as aforesaid.

  

 183 

 (f) Each Hedge Agreement shall provide that (i) any amount payable to the Hedge Counterparty
thereunder shall be subject to the Priority of Payments and (ii) such Hedge Agreement is subject to termination on the occurrence of an Event of Default and liquidation of the Collateral. 
  
 (g) Amendment and Reduction in Notional Amount 
  
 (i) The Issuer shall notify the Trustee, the Collateral
Manager and each Rating Agency in writing of all amendments and modifications to the Hedge Agreements. 
  
 (ii) The Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, may reduce the notional amount of any Hedge Agreement (and, in connection therewith,
cause the Issuer to pay a termination payment in accordance with the Priority of Payments to the Hedge Counterparty) if the Rating Condition is satisfied. 
  
 (h) In the event that amounts are applied to the redemption of Notes on any Distribution Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments by reason of a
failure to satisfy any of the Coverage Tests, then, subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Condition, the floating-fixed rate interest swaps under the Hedge Agreements will be subject to partial termination on such Distribution Date with respect
to a portion of the notional amount thereof equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Notes so redeemed on such Distribution Date. In addition, subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Condition with respect to such reduction, the
Collateral Manager and a Majority-in-Interest of Preferred Shareholders (acting together) may on any Distribution Date direct the Issuer to reduce the notional amount of any interest rate swap or cap outstanding under any Hedge Agreement. Upon any
such termination or reduction of a notional amount, a termination payment with respect to the notional amount terminated or reduced may become payable by the Hedge Counterparty or the Issuer to the other party under the Hedge Agreements. Amounts
payable upon any such termination or reduction will based upon standard replacement transaction valuation methodology set forth in the 1992 ISDA Master Agreement published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. If any amount is
payable by the Issuer to the Hedge Counterparty in connection with the occurrence of any such partial termination or notional amount reduction, such amount, together with interest on such amount for the period from and including the date of
termination to but excluding the date of payment at a rate per annum (calculated using a 30/360 Day Count Fraction) equal to the cost of funds therefor, as determined in accordance with each Hedge Agreement, shall be payable on such
Distribution Date to the extent funds are available for such purpose in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and any amount not so paid on such Distribution Date shall be payable on the first Distribution Date on which such amount may be paid
in accordance with the Priority of Payments. 
  
 (i) In the event
the Issuer, at any time after the Closing Date and on or prior to the Ramp-Up Completion Date, purchases secondary market Collateral Debt Securities from the Initial Purchaser, the Issuer will be permitted, in accordance with the terms hereof, to
enter into one or more Hedge Agreements at prevailing market rates with respect to such Collateral Debt Securities so acquired; provided, that (i) such additional Hedge Agreements are entered into with Merrill Lynch Capital Services,
Inc. as the Hedge Counterparty, (ii) such additional Hedge Agreements are executed on documentation substantially similar to, and contain material terms similar to, the Hedge Agreements entered into by the Issuer on the Closing Date,
(iii) all documentation relating to each such Hedge Agreement is executed by the Issuer (or an attorney-in-fact of the Issuer) acting from its offices in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere outside the United States and (iv) the entry into
such Hedge Agreements shall be subject to the Rating Condition. In no event shall any Hedge Agreement be entered into after the Ramp-Up Completion Date unless such Hedge Agreement is otherwise permitted by the Indenture. provided that, Deemed
Fixed Rate Hedge Agreements and Deemed Floating Rate Hedge Agreements may be entered into at any time so long as such Hedge Agreements satisfy clause (ii) of the definition of “Hedge Agreement” and clauses (iii) and (iv) of
the provision to the immediately preceding sentence and otherwise satisfy the provisions of this Section 16 and the Rating Condition is satisfied as to Standard Poor’s in connection with initially entering into any such Hedge Agreement
(and to the extent provided in clause (ii) of the definition of “Hedge Agreement”, any replacement Hedge Agreement).

 SCHEDULE B 
  

LIBOR FORMULA 
  
 With respect to each Interest Period, “LIBOR” for purposes of calculating the Note Interest Rate for the Notes for such Interest Period will be determined by
the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions: 
  
 (i) On the second LIBOR Business Day (provided that on such day commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in foreign currency deposits) in London (a “LIBOR Banking Day”), and
otherwise the next preceding LIBOR Business Day that is also a LIBOR Banking Day, prior to April 5, July 5, October 5 and January 5 (each such day, a “LIBOR Determination Date”), LIBOR shall equal the rate, as
obtained by the Calculation Agent, for three-month U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe which appears on Telerate (as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 2000 Interest Rate and Currency Exchange Definitions) Page 3750
or such other page as may replace such Page 3750, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date, as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News or any successor service (“Telerate Page 3750”). “LIBOR
Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banking institutions in New York, New York, or Wilmington, Delaware are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed. If such rate is
superseded on Telerate Page 3750 by a corrected rate before 12:00 noon (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date, the corrected rate as so substituted will be LIBOR for such LIBOR Determination Date. 
  
 (ii) If, on such LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does
not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the Calculation Agent shall determine the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations of the Reference Banks (as defined below) to leading banks in the London interbank market for three-month U.S. Dollar deposits
in Europe in an amount determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to requests for quotations as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date made by the Calculation Agent to the Reference Banks. If, on such LIBOR
Determination Date, at least two of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall equal the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If, on such LIBOR Determination Date, only one or none of the Reference Banks provides such a quotation, LIBOR
shall be deemed to be the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that at least two leading banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting on such LIBOR Determination Date for three-month U.S. Dollar deposits in
Europe at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) in an amount determined by the Calculation Agent; provided that if the Calculation Agent is required but is unable to determine LIBOR in accordance with at least one of the procedures provided
above, LIBOR shall be LIBOR in effect for the immediately preceding Periodic Interest Accrual Period. As used herein, “Reference Banks” means four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent. 
  
 In respect of any Interest Period having a designated maturity other than
three months, LIBOR shall be determined through the use of straight-line interpolation by reference to two rates calculated in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) above, one of which shall be determined as if the maturity of the Dollar
deposits referred to therein were the period of 

  

 B-1 

 
time for which rates are available next shorter than the Interest Period and the other of which shall be determined as if such maturity were the period of
time for which rates are available next longer than the Interest Period; provided that, if an Interest Period is less than or equal to seven days, then LIBOR shall be determined by reference to a rate calculated in accordance with clauses
(i) and (ii) above as if the maturity of the Dollar deposits referred to therein were a period of time equal to seven days. 
  
 For so long as any floating rate Note remains outstanding, the Issuer will at all times maintain an agent appointed to calculate LIBOR in respect of each
Interest Period. As soon as possible after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately following each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent
will calculate the interest rate for the Notes for the related Interest Period and the amount of interest for such Interest Period payable in respect of each U.S.$1,000 in principal amount of each Class of Notes (other than (a) the Class C-2
Notes for the period from the Closing Date to the last day of the Interest Period ending immediately prior to the Distribution Date in April 2010, and (b) the Class A-1B Notes, Class B-2 Notes and Class C-3 Notes for the period from the
Closing Date to the last day in the Interest Period ending immediately prior to the Distribution Date on April 2015 (in each case rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upward) on the related Distribution Date and will
communicate such rates and amounts and the related Distribution Date to the Issuer, the Trustee, each Paying Agent (other than the Preferred Share Paying Agent), Euroclear Bank, Clearstream, Luxembourg, DTC and (for so long as any Class of Notes is
listed on the Irish Stock Exchange) the Irish Stock Exchange.

 SCHEDULE C 
  

AUCTION PROCEDURES 
  
 The following sets forth the auction procedures (the “Auction Procedures”) to be followed in connection with a sale effected pursuant to Section 9.5 of the
Indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of March 15, 2005, between TABERNA Preferred Funding I, Ltd. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms used herein that are not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The following procedures shall be subject to the terms of Section 9.5(ii). 
  

	I.	Pre-Auction Process 

  
 (a) The Trustee will initiate the Auction Procedures at least 24 Business Days prior to each Auction Date by: 
  
 (i) collecting a list prepared by the Collateral Manager and delivered to the Trustee containing the names of the issuer and guarantor (if any), the par
amount and the CUSIP number (if any) with respect to each Pledged Collateral Debt Security and such other information as shall be notified to the Trustee by the Collateral Manager; 
  
 (ii) collecting a list prepared by the Collateral Manager and delivered to the Trustee of the constituents of each Subpool
which shall be based upon the Collateral Manager’s good faith determination of the composition of Subpools that will maximize Sale Proceeds; and 
  
 (iii) sending the lists collected pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above to the Qualified Bidders identified on the then-current Qualified
Bidder List and requesting bids on the Auction Date. 
  
 (b) The general
solicitation package which the Trustee shall deliver to the Qualified Bidders will include: (i) a form of a purchase agreement provided to the Trustee by the Collateral Manager (which shall, among other things, provide that (A) upon
satisfaction of all conditions precedent therein, the purchaser is irrevocably obligated to purchase, and the Issuer is irrevocably obligated to sell, the Collateral Debt Securities (or relevant Subpool, as the case may be) on the date and on the
terms and conditions set forth therein and (B) if the Subpools are to be sold to more than one bidder, the consummation of the purchase of each Subpool must occur simultaneously and the closing of each purchase is conditional on the closing of
each of the other purchases); (ii) the minimum purchase price (which shall be the Auction Call Redemption Amount); (iii) a formal bidsheet (which shall permit the relevant bidder to bid for all of the Collateral Debt Securities, any
Subpool or separately for each of the Subpools) provided to the Trustee by the Collateral Manager including a representation from the bidder that it is eligible to purchase all of the Collateral Debt Securities; (iv) a detailed timetable; and
(v) copies of all transfer documents provided to the Trustee by the Collateral Manager (including transfer certificates and subscription agreements which a bidder must execute pursuant to the Underlying Instruments and a list of the
requirements which the bidder must satisfy under the Underlying Instruments (i.e., Qualified Institutional Buyer, etc.)). 
  

 C-1 

 (c) The Trustee shall send solicitation packages to all Qualified Bidders at least 15 Business Days before the Auction
Date. No later than 10 Business Days before the Auction Date, Qualified Bidders may submit written due diligence questions relating to the legal documentation and other information contained in the general solicitation package (including comments on
the draft purchase agreement to be used in connection with the Auction (the “Auction Purchase Agreement”)) to the Collateral Manager; provided, that the Collateral Manager shall only be obligated to answer questions relating to the
Collateral to the extent that it is able to do so by reference to information which it is required to provide under the Collateral Management Agreement. The Collateral Manager shall be solely responsible for (i) responding to all relevant
questions and/or comments submitted to it in accordance with the foregoing and (ii) distributing the questions, answers and revised final Auction Purchase Agreement to all Qualified Bidders at least five Business Days prior to the Auction Date.

  
 (d) To the extent that the information contained in the list of Collateral
Debt Securities or general solicitation package and delivered to the Qualified Bidders pursuant to clauses (a), (b) and (c) above is provided to the Trustee by the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager shall indemnify the Trustee and
its Officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in
connection with the provision of such information by the Collateral Manager to the Trustee, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers
or duties hereunder. 
  

	II.	Auction Process 

  
 (a) Subject to Section 9.5(ii), the Collateral Manager will be allowed to bid in the Auction if it deems appropriate, but will not be required to do so. 
  
 (b) On the Auction Date, all bids will be due by facsimile to the offices of the Trustee by
11:00 a.m. New York City time, with the winning bidder to be notified by 2:00 p.m. New York City time. All bids from Qualified Bidders will be due on the bid sheet contained in the solicitation package. Each bid shall be for the purchase and
delivery to one purchaser of (i) all (but not less than all) of the Collateral Debt Securities or (ii) all (but not less than all) of the Collateral Debt Securities that constitute the components of one or more Subpools. 
  
 (c) If the Trustee receives fewer than two bids from Qualified Bidders to purchase all of the
Collateral Debt Securities or to purchase each Subpool, the Trustee may, if a Majority-in-Interest of the Preferred Shareholders consents thereto in writing, and in accordance with all other provisions of this Indenture, accept such bid as the
winning bid. 
  
 (d) The Trustee shall identify as the winning bidder the bid or
bids that result in the Highest Auction Price (in excess of the minimum purchase price) from one or more Qualified Bidders. 
  
 (e) Upon notification to the winning bidder(s), the winning bidder (or, if the Highest Auction Price requires the sale of Subpools to more than one bidder, each winning
bidder) will be required to deliver to the Trustee a signed counterpart of the Auction Purchase Agreement and a good faith deposit equal to one percent (1%) of the Aggregate Principal Balance will be required to be wired to the Trustee no later
than 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the Auction Date. If the Highest Auction Price requires the sale of Subpools to more than one bidder, each winning bidder shall contribute to the good faith deposit an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the
Aggregate Principal Balance of the Subpool or Subpools to which its bid relates. Such deposit will not be invested. This deposit will be credited to the purchase price but will not be refundable. The Trustee will establish a separate account for the
acceptance of the good faith deposit, until such time as the winning bidder (or, if the Highest Auction Price requires the sale of Subpools to more than one bidder, each winning bidder) pays the full purchase price in cash, at which time all monies
will be transferred into the Collection Accounts, such payment in full of the purchase price to be made by the winning bidder prior to the sixth Business Day following the relevant Auction Date. If such good faith deposit or payment in full of the
purchase price is not made when due (or, if the Subpools are to be sold to more than one bidder, if any bidder fails to make its contribution to the good faith deposit or make payment of the purchase price when due), the Trustee shall decline to
consummate the sale of each Subpool and shall give notice (in accordance with Section 9.3) that the Auction Call Redemption will not occur.

PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS 
  
 In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Indenture, the Issuer hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the
Trustee and the Noteholders as to itself as follows, on the Closing Date: 
  
 General 
  
 1. The
Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) in the collateral described in clauses (a) through (f) inclusive of the first paragraph of the Granting Clauses of the
Indenture (the “Collateral”) in favor of the Trustee, which security interest is prior to all other liens and is enforceable against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer. 
  
 2. The Collateral constitutes either “general intangibles,” “instruments,” “securities
entitlements,” “certificated securities,” “uncertificated securities,” “money” or “deposit accounts” within the meaning of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code. 
  
 3. The Interest Collection Account, the Principal Collection Account, the
Payment Account, the Expense Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Hedge Counterparty Collateral Account, the First Distribution Date Reserve Account, the Semi-Annual Interest Reserve Account and the Custodial Account (the “Accounts”)
and all subaccounts thereof, constitute either a deposit account or a securities account. 
  
 4. All of the Collateral that constitutes security entitlements has been or will be credited to the Custodial Account. The Custodian that has created and is maintaining the Custodial Account, and all subaccounts
thereof, has agreed to treat all assets credited to the Custodial Account as “financial assets” within the meaning of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code. 
  
 Creation 
  
 5. The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to the Collateral free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person. 
  
 6. The Issuer has received all consents and approvals required by the terms
of any item of the Collateral to the Grant to the Trustee of its security interest and rights in the Collateral hereunder. 
  

 K-1 

 Perfection 
  

7. The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the Closing Date of the Indenture, the filing of all appropriate financing
statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest Granted to the Trustee hereunder in the Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing.

  
 8. With respect to Collateral that constitutes deposit
accounts (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code), the Issuer has taken all steps necessary to cause the Trustee to become the account holder of such Accounts. 
  
 9. With respect to Collateral that constitutes securities accounts (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) or
security entitlements (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code), the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee a fully executed agreement pursuant to which the securities intermediary maintaining such securities account has agreed to comply
with all entitlement orders (as such term is defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) originated by the Trustee relating to the securities accounts and the related security entitlements without further consent by the Issuer. 
  
 Priority 
  
 10. Other than the security interest Granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged,
assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Collateral. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of, and is not aware of, any financing statements against the Issuer that include a description of collateral
covering the Collateral other than any financing statement relating to the security interest Granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or that has been terminated. 
  
 11. The Issuer is not aware of any judgment, ERISA, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or tax lien filings against the
Issuer. 
  
 12. With regard to Certificated Securities and
Instruments in physical form, the Custodian has possession of the originals thereof and none of the instruments that constitute or evidence the Collateral has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise
conveyed to any Person other than the Trustee. 
  
 13. Neither the
Custodial Account nor any subaccount thereof are in the name of any person other than the Trustee. The Trustee has not consented to the securities intermediary of any Custodial Account complying with entitlement orders of any person other than the
Trustee. 
  
 14. None of the deposit accounts nor any subaccount
thereof are in the name of any person other than the Trustee. The Trustee has not consented to the bank maintaining the deposit accounts complying with instructions of any person directing disposition of any of the funds in the deposit accounts.

  

 K-2 

 Survival of Perfection Representations 
  
 15. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any other
Transaction Document, the Perfection Representations contained in this Exhibit shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect until such time as all obligations under the Indenture and the Notes have been finally and fully paid and
performed. 
  
 No Waiver 
  
 16. The parties to this Indenture: (i) shall not, without obtaining a
confirmation of the then-current rating of the Securities, waive any of the Perfection Representations; (ii) shall provide the Rating Agencies with prompt written notice of any breach of the Perfection Representation; and (iii) shall not,
without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Securities (as determined after any adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings following notice of such breach) waive a breach of any of the Perfection Representations. 
  
 Issuer to Maintain Perfection and Priority 
  
 17. The Issuer covenants that, in order to evidence the interests of the
Trustee under this Indenture, the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Collateral Administrator to, take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments (other than effecting a Filing (as defined below), unless such Filing is effected in accordance
with this paragraph) as may be necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, such actions as are requested by the Trustee) to maintain and perfect, as a first priority interest, the Trustee’s security interest in the Collateral. The
Issuer shall, or shall cause the Collateral Administrator to, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare and present to the Trustee for the Trustee to authorize (based in reliance on the Opinion of Counsel hereinafter
provided for) the Issuer or the Collateral Administrator on its behalf to file, all financing statements, amendments, continuations, initial financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement, terminations, partial terminations, releases or
partial releases, or any other filings necessary or advisable to continue, maintain and perfect the Trustee’s security interest in the Collateral as a first-priority interest (each a “Filing”). The Issuer shall, or shall cause the
Collateral Administrator, to present each such Filing to the Trustee together with (x) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Filing is (i) consistent with the grant of the security interest to the Trustee pursuant to the Granting
Clause of this Indenture, (ii) satisfies all requirements and conditions to such Filing in this Indenture and (iii) satisfies the requirements for a Filing of such type under the Uniform Commercial Code in the applicable jurisdiction (or
if the Uniform Commercial Code does not apply, the applicable statute governing the perfection of security interests), and (y) a form of authorization for the Trustee’s signature. Upon receipt of such Opinion of Counsel and form of
authorization, the Trustee shall promptly authorize in writing the Issuer, or the Collateral Administrator on behalf of the Issuer, to, and the Issuer or the Collateral Administrator shall, effect such Filing under the Uniform Commercial Code
without the signature of the Issuer or the Trustee where allowed by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything else in the Indenture to the contrary, neither the Issuer nor the Collateral Administrator on behalf of the Issuer shall have any authority
to effect a Filing without obtaining the prior written authorization from the Trustee in accordance with this paragraph 17.

 Reference is made to the Indenture dated as of [     ], 2005 (the
“Indenture”) among TABERNA Preferred Funding I, Ltd. (the “Issuer”), TABERNA Preferred Funding I, Inc. (the “Co-Issuer”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the
“Trustee”). All capitalized terms used in this Reminder Notice that are not defined herein are used as defined in the Indenture. 
  
 Every beneficial owner of an interest in a Restricted Global Note (the “Note”) (each a “Beneficial Holder”) is required
to be a Qualified Institutional Buyer (or, in the case of an initial purchaser of an interest in a Restricted Global Note, an Accredited Investor) that is also a Qualified Purchaser that can at all times make the following representations to the
effect that such Beneficial Holder: 
  
 (1) Is a Qualified
Institutional Buyer (or, in the case of an initial purchaser of an interest in a Restricted Global Note, an Accredited Investor) who is a Qualified Purchaser; 
  

(2) Is not a dealer described in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of Rule 144A unless such purchaser owns and invests on a discretionary basis at least
U.S.$25,000,000 in securities of issuers that are not affiliated persons of the dealer; 
  
 (3) Is not a plan referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(D) or (a)(1)(i)(E) of Rule 144A, or a trust fund referred to in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(F) of Rule 144A that holds the assets of such a plan, unless investment
decisions with respect to the plan are made solely by the fiduciary, trustee or sponsor of such plan; 
  
 (4) Is acting for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution of its interest in the Note; 
  
 (5) Was not organized or reorganized for the purpose of acquiring an interest
in the Note (except when each beneficial owner of the purchaser is a qualified purchaser for purposes of Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act); 
  
 (6) Will hold and transfer its interest in the Note in at least the minimum denomination set forth in the Indenture; and 
  
 (7) Is aware, and will advise any future holder of an interest in the Note

 An interest in the Note can only be transferred to a Qualified Institutional
Buyer that is also a Qualified Purchaser (as used herein, a “QIB/QP”) that can make all of the representations set forth above. 
  

 M-2 

 The Co-Issuers of the Note have the absolute and unrestricted right to refuse the transfer of an interest

QIB/QP. 
  
 Any DTC Participant or other Person receiving this
Reminder Notice that is not a Beneficial Holder is requested to forward this Reminder Notice to the appropriate Beneficial Holder, which Beneficial Holder must be able to make the representations set forth herein.
