GRANTING
CLAUSES

 

The Issuer hereby Grants to the Trustee, for the

interest in, to and under, in each case, whether now owned or existing, or
hereafter acquired or arising (other than Excepted Assets and amounts in the
Preferred Shares Distribution Account), (a) the Collateral Debt Securities
listed in the Schedule of Closing Date Collateral Debt Securities which the
Issuer purchases on the Closing Date and causes to be delivered to the Trustee
(directly or through an agent or bailee) herewith, all payments thereon or with
respect thereto and all Collateral Debt Securities which are delivered to the
Trustee (directly or through an agent or bailee) after the Closing Date
pursuant to the terms hereof (including the Collateral Debt Securities listed,
as of the Effective Date, on the Schedule of Closing Date Collateral Debt
Securities delivered by the Issuer pursuant to Section 7.17) and all
payments thereon or with respect thereto, (b) the rights of the Issuer under
each Hedge Agreement, (c) the Payment Account, the Interest Collection Account,
the Principal Collection Account, the Expense Account, the Unused Proceeds
Account, the Delayed Funding Obligations Account, the Custodial Account, each Hedge

foregoing, (d) the rights of the Issuer under each Collateral Debt Securities
Purchase Agreement (including any Collateral Debt Securities Purchase Agreement

collateral described in the foregoing clauses (a)-(g) is referred to as the “Assets.”  For the avoidance of doubt, the Assets do not
include the Excepted Assets.  Such Grants
are made, however, in trust, to secure the Notes and each Hedge Agreement,
subject to the Priority of Payments, equally and ratably without prejudice,
priority or distinction between any Note and any other Note by reason of
difference in time of issuance or otherwise, except as expressly provided in
this Indenture, and to secure (i) the payment of all amounts due on and in
respect of the Notes and each Hedge Agreement in accordance with their terms,

compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, all as provided in this
Indenture.  For the avoidance of doubt,
the Assets shall not include the Excepted Assets, the Preferred Shares
Distribution Account and any amounts in the Preferred Shares Distribution
Account.  The foregoing Grant shall, for
the purpose of determining the property subject to the lien of this Indenture
(but not for the purpose of determining compliance with any of the Coverage
Tests or compliance by the Issuer with any of the other provisions hereof), be
deemed to include any securities and any investments granted by or on behalf of
the Issuer to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and each Hedge
Counterparty, whether or not such securities or such investments satisfy the
criteria set forth in the definitions of “Collateral Debt Security” or “Eligible
Investment,” as the case may be.

 

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

 

The Trustee acknowledges such Grants, accepts the
trusts hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, and agrees to
perform the duties herein in accordance with, and subject to, the terms hereof,

effectively protected in accordance with this Indenture.

applicable grace period but without giving effect to any waiver); provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, a Preferred Equity Security shall not be deemed
to be a Defaulted Security as a result of (A) the related issuer’s failure to
pay dividends or distributions on the initial due date therefor, if the
Collateral Manager or the Issuer consents to extend the due date when such
dividend or distribution is due and payable, and such dividend or distribution
is paid on or before such extended due date (provided
that such dividend or distribution is paid not more than 60 days (or if the due
date for such dividend or distribution was previously so extended, not more
than 30 days) after the initial date that it was due), or (B) the failure of
the issuer or affiliate of the issuer of the Preferred Equity Security to
redeem or purchase such Preferred Equity Security on the date when such
redemption or purchase is required pursuant to the terms of the agreement
setting forth the rights of the holder of that Preferred Equity Security (after
giving effect to all extensions of such redemption or purchase date that the
issuer or affiliate of the issuer of the Preferred Equity Security had the
right to elect and did elect under the terms of the agreement setting forth the
rights of the

 

25

 

holder of that Preferred Equity Security), if the
Collateral Manager or the Issuer consents to extend such redemption or purchase
date; provided that such consent does not
extend the redemption or purchase date by more than two (2) years after the
redemption or purchase date required under such agreement (that is, the
original redemption or purchase date under such agreement as extended by all
extensions of such date that the issuer or affiliate of the issuer of the Preferred
Equity Security had the right to elect and did elect under the terms of such
agreement) and the amount required to be paid in connection with such
redemption or purchase is paid on or before such extended redemption or
purchase date, or (2) with respect to which there is known to the Issuer or the
Collateral Manager a default (other than any payment default) which default
entitles the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity of all or a portion of
the principal amount of such obligation; provided, however, in each case, if such default is cured or waived
then such asset shall no longer be a Defaulted Security or (3) with respect to
which there is known to the Collateral Manager that (A) any bankruptcy,
insolvency or receivership proceeding has been initiated in connection with the
issuer of such Collateral Debt Security, or (B) there has been proposed or
effected any distressed exchange or other debt restructuring where the issuer
of such Collateral Debt Security has offered the debt holders a new security or
package of securities that either (x) amounts to a diminished financial
obligation or (y) has the purpose of helping the issuer to avoid default, or (4)
that has been rated “CC”, “D” or “SD” or below by S&P or “CC” or below by
Fitch, (5) with respect to which there is known to the Collateral Manager that
the issuer thereof is in default (without giving effect to any applicable grace
period or waiver) as to payment of principal and/or interest on another
obligation (and such default has not been cured or waived) which is senior or pari passu in right of payment to such Collateral Debt
Security, except that a Collateral Debt Security will not constitute a “Defaulted
Security” under this clause (5) if each of the Rating Agencies has confirmed in
writing that such event shall not result in the reduction, qualification or
withdrawal of any rating of the Notes;

 

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

 

26

 

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

 

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

 

27

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“Delayed Draw Term Loan”: Any Loan that is
fully committed on the initial funding date of such Loan but is required to be
fully funded in one or more installments but which, once all such installments
have been made, has the characteristics of a term loan; provided
that no Loan with respect to which the additional funding obligation is held
separately outside the Issuer by an affiliate of the Seller or by an
unaffiliated third party shall be deemed to be a “Delayed Draw Term Loan”
hereunder; provided, further,
for purposes of the Coverage Tests and the Collateral Quality Tests, the
principal balance of a Delayed Draw Term Loan, as of any date of determination,
refers to the sum of (i) the outstanding principal balance of such

Delayed Draw Term Loan and (ii) the amounts on deposit

rated by Moody’s or S&P, then the Fitch Rating of such Loan will be deemed
to be “CCC”; provided that Loans (which in the
aggregate) represent not more than 5% of the Aggregate Collateral Balance may be
deemed to have a Fitch Rating pursuant to this paragraph (c); and

all Collateral Debt Securities that are Floating Rate Securities (excluding all
Defaulted Securities and Written Down Securities), multiplying the resulting

Weighted Average Spread and for purposes of calculating the Spread Excess and
Weighted Average Spread, such Covered Fixed Rate Security shall be assumed to

Section 1.2             Assumptions
as to Pledged Obligations.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

75

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

76

 

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

 

Section 1.3             Interest
Calculation Convention.

 

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

 

Section 1.4             Rounding
Convention.

 

Unless otherwise specified herein, test calculations
that evaluate to a percentage will be rounded to the nearest hundredth of a
percentage point and test calculations that evaluate to a number or decimal
will be rounded to 2 decimal places.

Trustee, as custodian for the Depository or under the Global Security, and the
Depository may be treated by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, and any
agent of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer,
the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, or any agent of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the

(b)      The Notes shall

$1,000 in excess thereof (plus any residual amount).

 

Section 2.4             Execution,
Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

 

The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer
and the Co-Issuer by an Authorized Officer of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer,
respectively.  The signature of such
Authorized Officers on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

 

79

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Notes issued upon transfer, exchange or replacement of
other Notes shall be issued in authorized denominations reflecting the original
aggregate principal amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced,
but shall represent only the current outstanding principal amount of the Notes
so transferred, exchanged or replaced. 
In the event that any Note is divided into more than one Note in
accordance with this Article 2, the original principal amount of such
Note shall be proportionately divided among the Notes delivered in exchange
therefor and shall be deemed to be the original aggregate principal amount of
such subsequently issued Notes.

 

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

 

Section 2.5             Registration, Registration of Transfer and
Exchange.

 

(a)      The Issuer and
the Co-Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Notes Register”) in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer
and the Co-Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the
registration of transfers of Notes.  The
Trustee is hereby initially appointed “Notes Registrar” for the purpose of
registering Notes and transfers of such Notes with respect to any duplicate
copy of the Notes Register kept in the United States as herein provided.  Upon any resignation or removal of the Notes
Registrar, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or,
in the absence of such appointment, assume the duties of Notes Registrar.

 

If a Person other than the Trustee is appointed by the
Issuer and the Co-Issuer as Notes Registrar, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall
give the Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of a successor Notes
Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location,

 

80

 

of the Notes Registrar, and the Trustee shall have the
right to inspect the Notes Register at all reasonable times and to obtain
copies thereof and the Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate
executed on behalf of the Notes Registrar by an Officer thereof as to the names
and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and numbers
of such Notes.

 

Subject to this Section 2.5, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to
be maintained as provided in Section 7.2, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any
authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

None of the Notes Registrar, the Issuer or the
Co-Issuer shall be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange
any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before
any selection of Notes to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on
the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption.

 

(b)      No Note may be
sold or transferred (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation)
unless such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act and is exempt from the registration requirements under
applicable state securities laws.

 

(c)      No Senior Note
may be offered, sold, resold or delivered, within the United States or to, or
for the benefit of, U.S. Persons except in accordance with Section 2.5(e)
below and in accordance with Rule 144A to QIBs who are Qualified Purchasers
purchasing for their own account or for the accounts of one or more QIBs who
are Qualified Purchasers, for which the purchaser is acting as fiduciary or
agent.  The Senior Notes may be offered,
sold, resold or delivered, as the case may be, in offshore transactions to
non-U.S. Persons in

 

81

 

reliance
on Regulation S.  None of the Issuer, the
Co-Issuer, the Trustee or any other Person may register the Notes under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws.

 

(d)      Upon final
payment due on the Stated Maturity of a Note, the Holder thereof shall present
and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the
office of the Paying Agent (outside the United States if then required by
applicable law in the case of a Note in definitive form issued in exchange for
a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security pursuant to Section
2.10).

 

(e)      Transfers of
Global Securities.  Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Security remains
outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository, transfers of a
Global Security, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance with Section
2.2(c) and this Section 2.5(e).

 

(i)            Subject
to clauses (ii) through (iv) of this Section 2.5(e), transfers of a
Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security in whole,
but not in part, to nominees of the Depository or to a successor of the
Depository or such successor’s nominee.

 

(ii)           Regulation
S Global Security to Rule 144A Global Security.  If a holder of a beneficial interest in a
Regulation S Global Security wishes to transfer all or a part of its interest
in such Regulation S Global Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery
thereof in the form of a Rule 144A Global Security, such holder may, subject to
the terms hereof and the rules and procedures of Euroclear, Clearstream,
Luxembourg or the Depository, as the case may be, exchange or cause the
exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Rule 144A
Global Security of the same Class.  Upon
receipt by the Trustee, as Notes Registrar, of (A) instructions from Euroclear,
Clearstream, Luxembourg or the Depository, as the case may be, directing the
Trustee, as Notes Registrar, to cause such Rule 144A Global Security to be
increased by an amount equal to such beneficial interest in such Regulation S
Global Security but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to the
related Class of Notes, and (B) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit
D hereto given by the prospective transferee of such beneficial interest
and stating, among other things, that such transferee acquiring such interest
in a Rule 144A Global Security is a QIB and a Qualified Purchaser, is obtaining
such beneficial interest in a transaction pursuant to Rule 144A and in
accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United
States or any other applicable jurisdiction, then Euroclear, Clearstream,
Luxembourg or the Trustee, as Notes Registrar, as the case may be, shall approve
the instruction at the Depository to reduce such Regulation S Global Security
by the aggregate principal amount of the interest in such Regulation S Global
Security to be transferred and increase the Rule 144A Global Security specified
in such instructions by an Aggregate Outstanding Amount equal to such reduction
in such principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security.

 

(iii)          Rule
144A Global Security to Regulation S Global Security.  If a holder of a beneficial interest in a
Rule 144A Global Security wishes to transfer all or a part of its interest in
such Rule 144A Global Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof
in the form of a Regulation S Global Security, such holder may, subject to the

 

82

 

terms hereof and
the rules and procedures of Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or the
Depository, as the case may be, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest
for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security of the same
Class.  Upon receipt by the Trustee, as
Notes Registrar, of (A) instructions from Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or
the Depository, as the case may be, directing the Trustee, as Notes Registrar,
to cause such Regulation S Global Security to be increased by an amount equal
to the beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Security but not less than
the minimum denomination applicable to the related Class of Notes to be
exchanged, and (B) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C
hereto given by the prospective transferee of such beneficial interest and
stating, among other things, that such transferee acquiring such interest in a
Regulation S Global Security is a not a U.S. Person and that such transfer is
being made pursuant to Rule 903 or 904 under Regulation S, then Euroclear,
Clearstream, Luxembourg or the Trustee, as Notes Registrar, as the case may be,
shall approve the instruction at the Depository to reduce such Rule 144A Global
Security by the aggregate principal amount of the interest in such Rule 144A
Global Security to be transferred and increase the Regulation S Global Security
specified in such instructions by an Aggregate Outstanding Amount equal to such
reduction in the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Security.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

83

E-1 hereto given by the prospective transferee of such beneficial interest
and stating, among other things, that such transferee acquiring such interest
in a Regulation S Global Security is a not a U.S. Person and that such transfer
is being made pursuant to Rule 903 or 904 under Regulation S.  In connection with any such transfer, such
prospective transferee shall be deemed to have made the applicable
representations contained in Section 2.5(g) hereof.

 

(D)     Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, as long as any Class of
Senior Notes is Outstanding, no wholly-owned, direct or indirect, subsidiary of
GKK may sell or otherwise transfer or finance any Class J Note or Class K Note
to any other Person that is not a wholly-owned, direct or indirect, subsidiary
of GKK unless the Issuer and the Trustee shall have received an appropriate Tax
Opinion to the effect that the Class J Notes or Class K Notes, as applicable,
will be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes at the time of
such sale, transfer or financing.

 

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

 

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

 

(i)            In the
case of a Rule 144A Global Security, the owner is (A) a QIB and a Qualified
Purchaser, (B) is aware that the sale of the Notes to it (other than the
initial sale by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, as applicable,) is being made in
reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A, and (C) is
acquiring the Notes for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of
which is a QIB and a Qualified Purchaser, and as to each of which the owner
exercises sole investment discretion, (D) in a principal amount of not less
than $100,000, for each such account.

 

84

 

(ii)           The owner
understands that the Notes are being offered only in a transaction not
involving any public offering in the United States within the meaning of the
Securities Act, the Notes have not been and shall not be registered under the
Securities Act, and, if in the future the owner decides to offer, resell,
pledge or otherwise transfer the Notes, such Notes may only be offered, resold,
pledged or otherwise transferred in accordance with this Indenture and the
applicable legend on such Notes set forth in Exhibits A and B, as
applicable.  The owner acknowledges that
no representation is made by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, or the Initial
Purchaser, as the case may be, as to the availability of any exemption under
the Securities Act or any state securities laws for resale of the Notes.

 

(iii)          The
owner is not purchasing the Notes with a view to the resale, distribution or
other disposition thereof in violation of the Securities Act.  The owner understands that an investment in
the Notes involves certain risks, including the risk of loss of all or a
substantial part of its investment under certain circumstances.  The owner has had access to such financial
and other information concerning the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Notes as it
deemed necessary or appropriate in order to make an informed investment
decision with respect to its purchase of the Notes, including an opportunity to
ask questions of and request information from the Collateral Manager, the
Issuer and the Co-Issuer.

 

(iv)          In
connection with the purchase of the Notes (A) none of the Issuer, the
Co-Issuer, the Initial Purchaser, the Collateral Manager or the Trustee is
acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment adviser for the owner; (B) the
owner is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or
otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether written or
oral) of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Initial Purchaser, the Collateral
Manager or the Trustee other than in a current offering memorandum for such
Notes and any representations expressly set forth in a written agreement with
such party; (C) none of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Initial Purchaser, the
Collateral Manager or the Trustee has given to the owner (directly or
indirectly through any other person) any assurance, guarantee, or
representation whatsoever as to the expected or projected success,
profitability, return, performance, result, effect, consequence, or benefit
(including legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting, or otherwise) of its
purchase, (D) the owner has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax,
business, investment, financial, and accounting advisers to the extent it has
deemed necessary, and it has made its own investment decisions (including
decisions regarding the suitability of any transaction pursuant to this
Indenture) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisers
as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the Issuer, the
Co-Issuer, the Initial Purchaser, the Collateral Manager or the Trustee; and
(E) the owner is purchasing the Notes with a full
understanding of all of the terms, conditions and risks thereof (economic and
otherwise), and is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and
otherwise) these risks.

 

(v)           The owner understands
that the Notes shall bear the applicable legend set forth in Exhibits A
and B as applicable.  The Rule
144A Global Securities may not at any time be held by
or on behalf of any U.S. Person that is not a QIB who is a Qualified
Purchaser.  The owner must inform a
prospective transferee of the transfer restrictions.

 

85

 

(vi)          Unless a
prospective Holder of a Senior Note otherwise provides another representation
acceptable to the Trustee, the Collateral Manager, the Issuer and the
Co-Issuer, each Holder of a Senior Note, by its acquisition thereof, shall be
deemed to have represented to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager
and the Trustee that either (A) no part of the funds being used to pay the
purchase price for such Senior Notes constitutes an asset of any “employee
benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) or “plan” (as defined in
Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code or any other plan which is subject to any federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”) that
is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code
(each a “Benefit Plan”
and funds of such a Benefit Plan, “Plan Assets”), or an entity whose underlying
assets include Plan Assets of any such Benefit Plan, or (B) if the funds being
used to pay the purchase price for such Senior Notes include Plan Assets of any
Benefit Plan, its purchase and holding are eligible for the exemptive relief
from the prohibited transaction rules granted by Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, PTCE 90-1, PTCE 91-38, PTCE 95-60, PTCE 96-23,
or a similar exemption, or in the case of any Benefit Plan subject to Similar
Law, do not result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law.

 

(vii)         The
owner shall not, at any time, offer to buy or offer to sell the Notes by any
form of general solicitation or advertising, including, but not limited to, any
advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio or
at a seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by general
solicitations or advertising.

 

(viii)        The
owner is not a member of the public in the Cayman Islands, within the meaning
of Section 194 of the Cayman Islands Companies Law (2004 Revision), unless the Issuer
has been listed on the Cayman Islands Stock Exchange.

 

(ix)           The owner
understands that the Issuer, Co-Issuer, Trustee or Paying Agent shall require
certification acceptable to it (A) as a condition to the payment of principal
of and interest on any Notes without, or at a reduced rate of, U.S. withholding
or backup withholding tax, and (B) to enable the Issuer, Co-Issuer, Trustee and
Paying Agent to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any
taxes or other charges that they may be required to pay, deduct or withhold
from payments in respect of such Notes or the Holder of such Notes under any
present or future law or regulation of the Cayman Islands or the United States
or any present or future law or regulation of any political subdivision thereof
or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other
requirements under any such law or regulation. 
Such certification may include U.S. federal income tax forms (such as
IRS Form W-8BEN (Certification of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner), IRS Form
W-8IMY (Certification of Foreign Intermediary Status), IRS Form W-9 (Request
for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification), or IRS Form W-8ECI
(Certification of Foreign Person’s Claim for Exemption from Withholding on
Income Effectively Connected with Conduct of a U.S. Trade or Business) or any
successors to such IRS forms).  In
addition, the Issuer, Co-Issuer, Trustee or Paying Agent may require
certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer to qualify for a reduced
rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which the Issuer
receives payments on its assets.  Each
owner agrees to provide any certification requested pursuant to this

 

86

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

87

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

88

 

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

 

If (a) any mutilated or defaced Note is surrendered to
a Transfer Agent, or if there shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer,
the Trustee and the relevant Transfer Agent (each a “Specified Person”) evidence to their reasonable
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (b) there is
delivered to the Specified Person such security or indemnity as may be required
by each Specified Person to save each of them and any agent of any of them
harmless (an unsecured indemnity agreement delivered to the Trustee by an
institutional investor with a net worth of at least $200,000,000 being deemed
sufficient to satisfy such security or indemnity requirement), then, in the
absence of notice to the Specified Persons that such Note has been acquired by
a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall execute and, upon
Issuer Request, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such
mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note, of like tenor
(including the same date of issuance) and equal principal amount, registered in
the same manner, dated the date of its authentication, bearing interest from
the date to which interest has been paid on the mutilated, defaced, destroyed,
lost or stolen Note and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

89

of Principal and Interest and Other Amounts; Principal and Interest Rights
Preserved.

 

(a)      The Class A-1
Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period at the Class A-1
Rate.  Interest on each Class A-1 Note
shall be due and payable on each Payment Date immediately following the related
Interest Accrual Period in the proportion that the outstanding principal amount
of such Class A-1 Note bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Class A-1
Notes; provided, however,
that the payment of interest on the Class A-1 Notes is subordinated to the
payment on each Payment Date of certain amounts in accordance with the Priority
of Payments.

 

(b)      The Class A-2
Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period at the Class
A-2 Rate.  Interest on each Class A-2
Note shall be due and payable on each Payment Date immediately following the
related Interest Accrual Period in the proportion that the outstanding
principal amount of such Class A-2 Note bears to the Aggregate Outstanding
Amount of all Class A-2 Notes; provided, however, that the payment of interest on the Class A-2 Notes
is subordinated to the payment on each Payment Date of the interest due and
payable on the Class A-1 Notes (including any Class A-1 Defaulted Interest
Amount) and certain other amounts in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

 

(c)      The Class B
Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period at the Class B
Rate.  Interest on each Class B Note
shall be due and payable on each Payment Date immediately following the related
Interest Accrual Period in the proportion that the outstanding principal amount
of such Class B Note bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Class B
Notes; provided, however,
that payment of interest on the Class B Notes is subordinated to the payment on
each Payment Date of the interest due and payable on the Class A-1 Notes and
the Class A-2 Notes, (including any Class A-1 Defaulted Interest Amount and any
Class A-2 Defaulted Interest Amount) and certain other amounts in accordance
with the Priority of Payments.

 

(d)      The Class C
Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period at the Class C
Rate.  Interest on each Class C Note

Interest Accrual Period in the proportion that the outstanding principal amount
of such Class C Note bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Class C
Notes; provided, however, that payment of
interest on the Class C Notes is subordinated to the payment on each Payment
Date of the interest due and payable on the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2
Notes and the Class B Notes (including any Class A-1 Defaulted Interest Amount,
Class A-2 Defaulted Interest Amount and Class B Defaulted Interest Amount) and certain
other amounts in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

 

For so long as any Class B Notes are Outstanding, any
payment of interest due on the Class C Notes which is not available to be paid
(the “Class C Capitalized
Interest”) in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any
Payment Date shall not be considered “due and payable” for the purpose of Section
5.1(a) hereof (and the failure to pay such Class C Capitalized Interest
shall not be an Event of Default) until the Payment Date on which funds are
available to pay all or any portion of such Class C Capitalized Interest in
accordance with the Priority of Payments. 
On or after such Payment Date, only such portion of any payment of Class
C

 

90

 

Capitalized Interest for which funds are available in
accordance with the Priority of Payments shall be considered “due and payable”
and the failure to pay such portion of Class C Capitalized Interest shall be an
Event of Default.  Class C Capitalized
Interest shall be added to the principal amount of the Class C Notes, shall
bear interest thereafter at the Class C Rate (to the extent lawful) and shall
be payable on the first Payment Date on which funds are permitted to be used
for such purpose in accordance with the Priority of Payments.  On or after the Payment Date on which the
Class B Notes are no longer Outstanding, to the extent interest is due
(excluding any previously deferred Class C Capitalized Interest) but not paid
on the Class C Notes, the failure to pay such interest shall constitute an
Event of Default hereunder.

 

(e)      The Class D

that payment of interest on the Class D Notes is subordinated to the payment on
each Payment Date of the interest due and payable on the Class A-1 Notes, the
Class A-2 Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes (including any Class
A-1 Defaulted Interest Amount, Class A-2 Defaulted Interest Amount, Class B
Defaulted Interest Amount, Class C Defaulted Interest Amount and Class C
Capitalized Interest) and certain other amounts in accordance with the Priority
of Payments.

 

For so long as any Class C Notes are Outstanding, any
payment of interest due on the Class D Notes which is not available to be paid
(“Class D Capitalized Interest”)
in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date shall not be
considered “due and payable” for the purpose of Section 5.1(a) hereof
(and the failure to pay such Class D Capitalized Interest shall not be an Event
of Default) until the Payment Date on which funds are available to pay all or
any portion of such Class D Capitalized Interest in accordance with the
Priority of Payments.  On or after such
Payment Date, only such portion of any payment of Class D Capitalized Interest
for which funds are available in accordance with the Priority of Payments shall
be considered “due and payable” and the failure to pay such portion of Class D
Capitalized Interest shall be an Event of Default.  Class D Capitalized Interest shall be added
to the principal amount of the Class D Notes, shall bear interest thereafter at
the Class D Rate (to the extent lawful) and shall be payable on the first
Payment Date on which funds are permitted to be used for such purpose in
accordance with the Priority of Payments. 
On or after the Payment Date on which the Class C Notes are no longer
Outstanding, to the extent interest is due (excluding any previously deferred
Class D Capitalized Interest) but not paid on the Class D Notes, the failure to
pay such interest shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

(o)      As a condition
to the payment of principal of and interest on any Note without the imposition
of U.S. withholding tax, the Issuer shall require certification acceptable to
it to enable the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Preferred Shares
Paying Agent and the Paying Agent to determine their duties and liabilities
with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to deduct
or withhold from payments in respect of such Security under any present or
future law or regulation of the United States or any present or future law or
regulation of any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or
to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or
regulation.

 

(p)      Payments in

the Depository or its nominee, shall immediately credit the applicable Agent
Members’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to the respective
beneficial interests in such Global Security as shown on the records of the
Depository or its nominee.  The Issuer
also expects that payments by Agent Members to owners of beneficial interests
in such Global Security held through Agent Members will be governed by standing
instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held
for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such
customers.  Such payments will be the
responsibility of the Agent Members. 
Upon final payment due on the Maturity of a Note, the Holder thereof
shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee or at the office of the Paying Agent (outside of the United States if

exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security) on or
prior to such Maturity.  None of the
Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee or the Paying Agent will have any
responsibility or liability with respect to any records maintained by the
Holder of any Note with respect to the beneficial holders thereof or payments
made thereby on account of beneficial interests held therein.  In the case where any final payment of
principal and interest is to be made on any Note (other than on the Stated
Maturity thereof) the Issuer or, upon Issuer Request, the Trustee, in the name
and at the expense of the Issuer shall, not more than 30 nor fewer than five
Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, mail to
the Persons entitled thereto at their addresses appearing on the Notes
Register, a notice which shall state the date on which such payment will be

that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes of such Class registered in
the name of each such Holder on such Record Date bears to the Aggregate
Outstanding Amount of all Notes of such Class on such Record Date.

accrued with respect to the Notes shall be calculated as described in the
applicable form of Note attached hereto.

Date or upon Maturity shall be binding upon all future Holders of such Note and
of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note.

anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, the obligations of the
Issuer and the Co-Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture are non-recourse
obligations of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer payable solely from the Assets and
following realization of the Assets, any claims of the Noteholders or the
Trustee shall be extinguished.  No
recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of the
Notes against any Officer, director, employee, shareholder, limited partner or
incorporator of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any of their respective successors
or assigns for any amounts payable under the Notes or this Indenture.  It is understood that the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Assets for
the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which
is part of the Assets or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any
indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Notes or secured by this Indenture
(to the extent it relates to the obligation to make payments on the Notes)
until such Assets have been realized, whereupon any outstanding indebtedness or
obligation in respect of the Notes shall be extinguished.  It is further understood that the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph shall not limit the right of any Person to name
the Issuer or the Co-Issuer as a party defendant in any Proceeding or in the
exercise of any other remedy under the Notes or this Indenture, so long as no
judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability
shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity.

 

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

 

(x)      Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing provisions with respect to payments of principal of and
interest on the Notes (but subject to Section 2.7(l)), if the Notes have
become or been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and such
acceleration of Maturity and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled and the provisions of

 

100

 

Section 5.5
are not applicable, then payments of principal of and interest on such Notes
shall be made in accordance with Section 5.7 hereof.

 

(y)      Payments in
respect of the Preferred Shares as contemplated by Sections 11.1(a)(i)(34) and 11.1(a)(ii)(17) shall be made by the

Section 2.8             Persons
Deemed Owners.

 

The Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, and any agent
of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Trustee may treat as the owner of a Note
the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Notes Register on the
applicable Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of
and interest and other amounts on such Note and on any other date for all other
purposes whatsoever (whether or not such Note is overdue), and none of the
Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer
or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary; provided, however, that
the Depository, or its nominee, shall be deemed the owner of the Global
Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in Global Securities will not be
considered the owners of any Notes for the purpose of receiving notices.  With respect to the Preferred Shares, on any
Payment Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Preferred Shares Paying Agent
the distributions thereon for distribution to the Preferred Shareholders.

 

Section 2.9             Cancellation.

 

All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of
transfer, exchange or redemption, or deemed lost or stolen, shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee,
and shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee and may not be reissued or
resold.  No Notes shall be authenticated
in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section
2.9, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All canceled Notes held by the Trustee shall
be destroyed or held by the Trustee in accordance with its standard retention
policy unless the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Order that
they be returned to them.

 

Section 2.10           Global
Securities; Temporary Notes.

 

(a)      In the event
that the Depository notifies the Issuer and the Co-Issuer that it is unwilling
or unable to continue as Depository for a Global Security or if at any time
such Depository ceases to be a “Clearing Agency” registered under the Exchange
Act and a successor depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of
such notice, the Global Securities deposited with the Depository pursuant to Section
2.2 hereof shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof subject to
the procedures and conditions set forth in this Section 2.10.

 

(b)      Any Global
Security that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to Section
2.10(a) above shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Trustee’s
Corporate Trust Office together with necessary instruction for the registration
and delivery of Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes,
Class D Notes, Class E Notes, Class F Notes, Class G Notes and Class H Notes in
definitive registered form without interest coupons to the beneficial owners
(or such owner’s nominee) holding the ownership

 

101

 

interests
in such Global Security.  Any such
transfer shall be made, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Security, an equal
aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of the same Class and
authorized denominations.  Any Certificated
Notes delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Security shall, except
as otherwise provided by Section 2.5(f), bear the applicable legend set
forth in Exhibit A or B, as applicable, and shall be subject to
the transfer restrictions referred to in such applicable legend.  The Holder of each such registered individual
Global Security may transfer such Global Security by surrendering it at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or at the office of the Paying Agent or
Irish Paying Agent.

 

(c)      Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.10(b) above, the registered Holder of a Global
Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent
Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any
action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

 

(d)      In the event of
the occurrence of either of the events specified in Section 2.10(a)
above, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly make available to the
Trustee a reasonable supply of Certificated Notes.

 

Pending the preparation of Certificated Notes pursuant
to this Section 2.10, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer may execute and, upon
Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Class A-1
Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes, Class D Notes, Class E
Notes, Class F Notes Class G Notes or Class H Notes that are printed,
lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise reproduced, in any
authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Certificated Notes
in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Officers executing such Certificated
Notes may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Certificated
Notes.

 

If temporary Certificated Notes are issued, the Issuer
and the Co-Issuer shall cause permanent Certificated Notes to be prepared
without unreasonable delay.  The Certificated
Notes shall be printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, or
provided by any combination thereof, or in any other manner permitted by the
rules and regulations of any applicable notes exchange, all as determined by
the Officers executing such Certificated Notes. 
After the preparation of Certificated Notes, the temporary Notes shall be
exchangeable for Certificated Notes upon surrender of the applicable temporary
Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes, Class D Notes,
Class E Notes, Class F Notes, Class G Notes or Class H Notes at the office or
agency maintained by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer for such purpose, without
charge to the Holder.  Upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes,
Class B Notes, Class C Notes, Class D Notes, Class E Notes, Class F Notes,
Class G Notes or Class H Notes, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor the same
aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized
denominations.  Until so exchanged, the
temporary Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes, Class
D Notes, Class E Notes, Class F Notes, Class G Notes or Class H Notes shall in
all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Certificated
Notes.

Section 2.11           U.S.
Tax Treatment of Notes.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(d)      Each Holder of
Notes shall timely furnish to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or its agents any U.S.
federal income tax form or certification (such as IRS Form W-8BEN
(Certification of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner) (with Part III marked), IRS
Form W-8IMY (Certification of Foreign Intermediary Status), IRS Form W-9
(Request for Taxpayer

 

103

 

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

 

Section 2.12           Authenticating
Agents.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 2.13           Forced
Sale on Failure to Comply with Restrictions.

 

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

 

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

 

104

 

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

that is not an Affiliate of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer and has capital and
surplus of at least $100,000,000. 
Subject to the limited right to relocate Pledged Obligations set forth

used to purchase such investments are held in accordance with Article 10,
and, in respect of each Account (other than the Payment Account), the Trustee
shall have entered into an agreement with the Securities Intermediary (the “Securities
Accounts Control Agreement”) providing, inter alia,
that the establishment and maintenance of such Account will be governed by a
law satisfactory to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Custodial Securities
Intermediary.  To the maximum extent
feasible, Pledged Obligations shall be transferred to the Trustee as Security
Entitlements in the manner set forth in clause (i) below.  In the event that the measures set forth in

The security interest of the Trustee in Pledged Obligations shall be perfected
and otherwise evidenced as follows:

the Trustee pursuant to clause (i) (the “Uncertificated Securities”), by
the Issuer (A)  causing the issuer(s) of
such Uncertificated Securities to register on their respective books the
Trustee as the registered owner thereof upon original issue or transfer thereof
or (B) causing another Person, other than a Securities Intermediary, either to
become the registered owner of such Uncertificated Securities on behalf of the
Trustee, or such Person having previously become the registered owner, to
acknowledge that it holds such Uncertificated Securities for the Trustee;

 

110

 

(iii)          in

the Issuer (A) causing (1) the Trustee to obtain possession of such Registered
Securities in the State of Minnesota or (2) another Person, other than a

transfer;

the State of Minnesota to acknowledge that it holds such Bearer Securities for
the Trustee;

 

(v)           in the
case of Pledged Obligations that consist of Money or Instruments (the “Minnesota Collateral”),
to the extent that any such Minnesota Collateral does not constitute a
Financial Asset forming the basis of a Security Entitlement acquired by the
Trustee pursuant to clause (i), by the Issuer causing (A) the Trustee to
acquire possession of such Minnesota Collateral in the State of Minnesota or
(B) another Person (other than the Issuer or a Person controlling, controlled

such Accounts Receivable and causing the Securities Intermediary to credit such
Accounts Receivable to the Custodial Account and to treat such Accounts
Receivable as Financial Assets within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC and
(B) to the extent that doing so would be effective to perfect a security
interest in such Accounts Receivable under the UCC as in effect at the time of
transfer of such Accounts Receivable to the Trustee hereunder, filing or
causing the filing of a UCC financing statement that encompasses such Accounts
Receivable with the Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia and such other

of the Loan, Participation or Preferred Equity Security, as applicable) to make
the Custodial Securities Intermediary the registered owner thereof, (B) causing
the Custodial Securities Intermediary to credit such Loans, Participations or
Preferred Equity Securities, as applicable, to the Custodial Account and to
treat such Loans, Participations or Preferred Equity Securities, as applicable,

(b)      The Issuer
hereby authorizes the filing of UCC financing statements describing as the
collateral covered thereby “all of the debtor’s personal property and assets,”
or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in
scope than the Assets described in this Indenture.

 

(c)      Without
limiting the foregoing, the Issuer and the Trustee on behalf of the Bank agree,
and the Bank shall cause the Custodial Securities Intermediary, to take such
different or additional action as the Trustee may reasonably request in order
to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Trustee
in the event of any change in applicable law or regulation, including Articles
8 and 9 of the UCC and Treasury Regulations governing transfers of interests in
Government Items (it being understood that the Trustee shall be entitled to
rely upon an Opinion of Counsel, including an Opinion of Counsel delivered in
accordance with Section 3.1(d), as to the need to file any financing
statements or continuation statements, the dates by which such filings are
required to be made and the jurisdictions in which such filings are required to
be made).

shall deliver (or cause to be delivered by the applicable Seller) to the
Custodial Securities Intermediary (A) the original of any note (or a copy of
such note together with a lost note affidavit), certificate or other instrument
constituting or evidencing such Collateral Debt Security and any other
Underlying Instrument related to such Collateral Debt Security the delivery of
which is necessary in order to perfect the security interest of the Trustee in
such Collateral Debt Security granted pursuant to this Indenture and (B) copies
of the other Underlying Instruments then in possession of the Issuer;

 

(ii)           from time to time upon the request of the Trustee or
Collateral Manager, the Issuer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the
Custodial Securities Intermediary any Underlying Instrument in the possession
of the Issuer and not previously delivered

 

112

 

hereunder
(including originals of Underlying Instruments not previously required to be
delivered as originals) and as to which the Trustee or Collateral Manager, as
applicable, shall have reasonably determined to be necessary or appropriate for
the administration of such Collateral Debt Security hereunder or under the
Collateral Management Agreement or for the protection of the security interest
of the Trustee under this Indenture;

 

(iii)          in

Custodial Securities Intermediary each Underlying Instrument released from
custody pursuant to this clause (iv) within 20 Business Days of receipt thereof
(except such Underlying Instruments as are released in connection with a sale,

Indenture, of the related Collateral Debt Security that is consummated within

foregoing provisions of this clause (iv), (A) any note, certificate or other
instrument evidencing a Pledged Collateral Debt Security shall be released only
for the purpose of (1) a sale, exchange or other disposition of such Pledged
Collateral Debt Security that is permitted in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture or (2) presentation, collection, renewal or registration of transfer
of such Collateral Debt Security and (B) the Custodial Securities Intermediary
may refuse to honor any Request for Release following the occurrence of an
Event of Default under this Indenture.

satisfied; or

 

(i)       the Issuer

delivers an opinion of tax counsel of nationally recognized standing in the
United States experienced in such matters to the effect that, notwithstanding
the Issuer’s loss of qualified REIT subsidiary status, the Issuer is not, and
has not been, an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a
corporation, or is not, and has not been, otherwise subject to U.S. federal

adversely affected by the loss of qualified REIT subsidiary status or (2)

the Noteholders, the Preferred Shares Paying Agent, the Preferred Shareholders,
each Rating Agency, each Hedge Counterparty and, for so long as any Notes are
listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, the Irish Paying Agent in writing.  If the Collateral Manager has actual
knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Collateral Manager
shall promptly notify, in writing, the Trustee. 
Upon such notification from the Collateral Manager, the Trustee shall
promptly notify the Noteholders, each Rating Agency and each Hedge Counterparty
of the occurrence of such Event of Default.

 

Section 5.2             Acceleration
of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

 

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

 

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

 

120

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

121

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

124

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(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 their behalf; 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 its own 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

 

125

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 5.4             Remedies.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

126

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Any such Sale, whether under any power of sale hereby
given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall bind the Issuer, the
Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Preferred Shareholders, shall
operate to divest all right, title and interest whatsoever, either at law or in
equity, of each of them in and to the property sold, and shall be a perpetual
bar, both at law and in equity, against each of them and their successors and
assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming through or under them.

 

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

 

127

 

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

 

Section 5.5             Preservation
of Assets.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

128

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 5.6             Trustee
May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.

 

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

 

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

 

Section 5.7             Application
of Money Collected.

 

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

 

Section 5.8             Limitation
on Suits.

 

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

 

129

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(d)      no direction
inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during
such 30 day period by a Majority of the Controlling Class; it being understood
and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any
manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of
Notes of the same Class or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or
preference over any other Holders of the Notes of the same Class or to enforce
any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for
the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Notes of the same Class
subject to and in accordance with Section 13.1 hereof and the Priority
of Payments.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 5.10           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 Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, and the Noteholder shall,
subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions

 

130

 

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

 

Section 5.11           Rights
and Remedies Cumulative.

 

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

 

Section 5.12           Delay
or Omission Not Waiver.

 

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

 

Section 5.13           Control
by the Controlling Class.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 5.14           Waiver
of Past Defaults.

 

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

 

131

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(c)      in
respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Section 8.2 cannot
be modified or amended without the waiver or consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Note adversely affected thereby; or

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 5.15           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, to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or
group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, or to any suit instituted by any
Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest
on any Note or any other amount payable hereunder on or after the Stated
Maturity (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption
Date).

 

Section 5.16           Waiver
of Stay or Extension Laws.

 

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

 

132

 

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

 

Section 5.17           Sale
of Assets.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

133

 

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

 

Section 5.18           Action
on the Notes.

 

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

 

ARTICLE 6

 

THE TRUSTEE

 

Section 6.1             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 set forth
in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
this Indenture against the Trustee; and

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

134

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(e)      For all
purposes under this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice
or knowledge of any Event of Default described in Section 5.1(d), 5.1(f),
5.1(g), 5.1(h) or 5.1(i) or any Default described in Section
5.1(e) unless a Trust Officer assigned to and working in the Corporate
Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event
which is in fact such an Event of Default or Default is received by the

 

135

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 6.2             Notice
of Default.

 

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

 

Section 6.3             Certain
Rights of Trustee.

 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1:

 

(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, note or other paper or document believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties;

 

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

 

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

 

136

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

137

 

Agent (other than
the Trustee itself acting in that capacity) or any Paying Agent (other than the
Trustee itself acting in that capacity); and

 

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

 

Section 6.4             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 Issuer and the Co-Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. 
The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of
this Indenture (except as may be made with respect to the validity of the
Trustee’s obligations hereunder), the Assets or the Notes.  The Trustee shall not be accountable for the
use or application by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer of the Notes or the proceeds
thereof or any Money paid to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer pursuant to the
provisions hereof.

 

Section 6.5             May
Hold Notes.

 

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

 

Section 6.6             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 6.7             Compensation
and Reimbursement.

 

(a)      The Issuer
agrees:

 

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

 

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

 

138

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(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 Monies on deposit in the Payment Account in accordance
with the Priority of Payments.

 

(c)      The Trustee in
its capacity as Trustee, Paying Agent, Calculation Agent, Transfer Agent,
Custodial Securities Intermediary, Backup Advancing Agent and Notes Registrar,
hereby agrees not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the
Issuer or the Co-Issuer 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.  This
provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

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

 

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

 

139

 

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

 

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

 

Section 6.8             Corporate
Trustee Required; Eligibility.

 

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

 

Section 6.9             Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

 

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

 

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

 

140

 

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

 

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

 

(d)      If at any time:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(f)       The Issuer and
the Co-Issuer shall give prompt notice of each resignation and each removal of
the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee by mailing written
notice of such event by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Rating
Agency, each

 

141

 

Hedge
Counterparty, the Preferred Shares Paying Agent and to the Holders of the Notes
as their names and addresses appear in the Notes Register.  Each notice shall include the name of the
successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.  If the Issuer or the Co-Issuer fail to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such
notice to be given at the expense of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case
may be.

 

Section 6.10           Acceptance
of Appointment by Successor.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

142

 

Section 6.12           Co-Trustees
and Separate Trustee.

 

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

 

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

 

Should any written instrument from the Issuer or the
Co-Issuer be required by any co-trustee, so appointed, more fully confirming to
such co-trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such
instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the
Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be. 
The Issuer agrees to pay (but only from and to the extent of the Assets)
to the extent funds are available therefor under subclauses (3) and (31) of Section
11.1(a)(i), for any reasonable fees and expenses
in connection with such appointment.

 

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

 

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

 

(b)      the rights,
powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Trustee in
respect of any property covered by the appointment of a co-trustee shall be
conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee or by the
Trustee and such co-trustee jointly in the case of the appointment of a
co-trustee as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee,
except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified
to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations
shall be exercised and performed by a co-trustee;

 

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

 

143

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

of any proposed amendment, consent or waiver under the Underlying Instruments
of any Collateral Debt Security (before or after any default) or in the event

COVENANTS

 

Section 7.1             Payment
of Principal and Interest.

 

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

 

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

 

Section 7.2             Maintenance
of Office or Agency.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

146

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

147

 

rating of at least “P-1” by Moody’s, “F1+” by Fitch
and “A-1+” by S&P, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly remove such
Paying Agent and appoint a successor Paying Agent. The Issuer and the Co-Issuer
shall not appoint any Paying Agent that is not, at the time of such
appointment, a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision
and examination by federal and/or state and/or national banking authorities.
The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall cause the Paying Agent other than the
Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee (and if the Trustee acts as Paying
Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3,
that such Paying Agent will:

 

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

 

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

(vii)         after
giving effect to such transaction, the Co-Issuer shall not be required to
register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

 

Section 7.11           Successor
Substituted.

 

Upon any consolidation or merger, or transfer or
conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or the
Co-Issuer, in accordance with Section 7.10 hereof, the Person formed by
or surviving such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer or the
Co-Issuer), or the Person to which such consolidation, merger, transfer or
conveyance is made, shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise
every right and power of, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be,
under this Indenture with the same effect as if such Person had been named as
the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be, herein.  In the event of any such consolidation,
merger, transfer or conveyance, the Person named as the “Issuer” or the “Co-Issuer”
in the first paragraph of this Indenture or any successor which shall
theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article 7
may be dissolved, wound-up and liquidated at any time thereafter, and such
Person thereafter shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker
on all the Notes or Notes, as applicable, and from its obligations under this
Indenture.

 

Section 7.12           No
Other Business.

 

The Issuer shall not engage in any business or
activity other than issuing and selling the Notes pursuant to this Indenture
and any supplements thereto, issuing and selling the Preferred Shares in
accordance with its Governing Documents, entering into any Hedge Agreement, the
Collateral Management Agreement, and acquiring, owning, holding and pledging
the Assets in connection with the Notes and such other activities which are
necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish the foregoing or are incidental
thereto or connected therewith.  The
Co-Issuer shall not engage in any business or activity other than issuing and
selling the Notes pursuant to this Indenture and any supplements thereto and
such other activities which are necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish
the foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected therewith.

 

158

 

Section 7.13           Reporting.

 

At any time when the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer is
not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is not exempt from
reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, upon the request
of a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note, the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer
shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished “Rule 144A Information” (as
defined below) to such holder or beneficial owner, to a prospective purchaser
of such Note designated by such holder or beneficial owner or to the Trustee
for delivery to such holder or beneficial owner or a prospective purchaser
designated by such holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, in order to
permit compliance by such holder or beneficial owner with Rule 144A under the
Securities Act in connection with the resale of such Note by such holder or
beneficial owner.  “Rule 144A Information”
shall be such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto).  The Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with
the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer in mailing or otherwise distributing (at the
Issuer’s expense) to such Noteholders or prospective purchasers, at and
pursuant to the Issuer’s and/or the Co-Issuer’s written direction the foregoing
materials prepared by or on behalf of the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall be entitled to prepare and affix thereto or enclose therewith
reasonable disclaimers to the effect that such Rule 144A Information was not
assembled by the Trustee, that the Trustee has not reviewed or verified the
accuracy thereof, and that it makes no representation as to such accuracy or as
to the sufficiency of such information under the requirements of Rule 144A or
for any other purpose.

 

Section 7.14           Calculation
Agent.

 

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

 

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

 

159

 

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

 

Section 7.15           Certain
Tax Matters.

 

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

 

Section 7.16           Maintenance
of Listing.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

160

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 7.17           Purchase
of Assets.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

161

 

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

 

Section 7.18           Effective
Date Actions.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

162

 

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

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

 

Section 8.1             Supplemental
Indentures Without Consent of Securityholders.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

163

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

164

 

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

 

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

 

Section 8.2             Supplemental
Indentures with Consent of Securityholders.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

165

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(j)       modify any of
the provisions of this Indenture in such a manner as to affect the calculation
of the amount of any payment of interest or principal on any Note on any
Payment Date or of distributions to the Preferred Shares Paying Agent for the
payment of distributions in respect of the Preferred Shares on any Payment Date
(or any other date) or to

 

166

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 8.3             Execution
of Supplemental Indentures.

 

In executing or accepting the additional trusts
created by any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article 8 or the
modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent

Co-Issuer, or at their request, by the Trustee in their names and at the

Payable on Redemption Date.

 

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid,
the Notes to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable

specified in the notice of redemption on or prior to such Redemption Date; provided, however, that
if there is delivered to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee such

(an unsecured indemnity agreement delivered to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and
the Trustee by an institutional investor with a net worth of at least
$200,000,000 being deemed to satisfy such security or indemnity requirement)
and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such Note, then, in the absence of
notice to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer 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. 
Payments of interest on Notes of a Class so to be redeemed whose Stated

Redemption.

 

On any Payment Date on which any of the Coverage Tests
applicable to any Class of Notes is not met on the most recent Measurement
Date, the Notes shall be redeemed (a “Mandatory Redemption”), first from Interest Proceeds
and then from Principal Proceeds in each

 

172

 

case in accordance with the Priority of Payments in an
amount necessary, and only to the extent necessary, to cause each of the
Coverage Tests to be satisfied.  Further,
each Hedge Agreement will be terminated in part in accordance with the terms
thereof and any payments due and payable on the Hedge Agreement in connection
with the termination of the Hedge Agreement will be made on such Payment Date
in accordance with the terms thereof and this Indenture, including satisfaction
of the Rating Agency Condition.  Such
Principal Proceeds and Interest Proceeds shall be applied to each of the
outstanding Classes of Notes in accordance with its relative seniority in
accordance with the Priority of Payments. 
On or promptly after such Mandatory Redemption, the Issuer and the
Co-Issuer shall certify or cause to be certified to each of the Rating Agencies
and the Trustee whether the Coverage Tests have been met.

 

Section 9.7             Special
Amortization.

 

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

Collateral Debt Securities.  The
Collateral Manager shall notify the Trustee, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and each
Hedge Counterparty of such election (a “Special Amortization”) and the amount to be
amortized (such amount, the “Special
Amortization Amount”). 
On the first Payment Date following the date on which such notice is
given, the Special Amortization Amount will be applied to amortize the Notes in
accordance with the Priority of Payments (i) on a pro rata
basis (based on the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each Class) among all
Classes of Notes if each of the S&P Special Amortization Pro Rata Condition
and the Moody’s Special Amortization Pro Rata Condition is satisfied with
respect to the related Payment Date and each of the Coverage Tests was
satisfied as of the related Determination Date; or (ii) sequentially among all
Classes of Notes, if either the S&P Special Amortization Pro Rata Condition
or the Moody’s Special Amortization Pro Rata Condition is not satisfied with
respect to the related Payment Date or any of the Coverage Tests were not
satisfied as of the related Determination Date; provided,
however, that all amounts representing
recoveries in respect of Defaulted Securities will be distributed sequentially

Proceeds Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of
the Unused Proceeds Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment,
warrant of attachment, execution or similar process.  The Unused Proceeds Account shall remain at
all times with the Corporate Trust Office of a financial institution having a
long-term debt rating by each Rating Agency at least equal to “BBB+” or “A2,”
as applicable, or a short-term debt rating at least equal to “A-1,” “P-1” or “F1,”
as applicable.

 

(c)      During the
Reinvestment Period, amounts on deposit in the Unused Proceeds Account may or
shall be designated by the Collateral Manager as Special Amortization Amounts
to be included as Principal Proceeds pursuant to Section 9.7.  If the Aggregate Principal Balance of the
Collateral Debt Securities exceeds the Minimum Ramp-Up Amount on the Effective
Date, amounts remaining on deposit in the Unused Proceeds Account at the end of
the Ramp-Up Period not to exceed an amount equal to 15% of the Initial Deposit
may, at the option of the Collateral Manager, be designated as Interest
Proceeds.  Any such election will be made
on a one-time basis and must be made by written notice to the Trustee not later
than the twentieth (20th) Business Day after the Effective Date, which notice
shall set forth any such amounts in the Unused Proceeds Account so designated
(and any interest or earnings thereon). 
Upon receipt of such notice, the Trustee shall transfer such amount to
the Interest Collection Account (for subsequent transfer to the Payment
Account), which will be treated as Interest Proceeds and applied in accordance
with the Priority of Payments.  Any
amounts remaining in the Unused Proceeds Account on the twentieth (20th)
Business Day after the Effective Date, to the extent not designated as Interest
Proceeds and provided that a Ratings Confirmation Failure has not occurred,
shall be transferred by the Trustee to the Principal Collection Account (for
subsequent transfer to the Payment Account) and treated as Principal Proceeds
and applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

 

(d)      If a Rating
Confirmation Failure occurs, upon receipt of notice from the Collateral Manager
pursuant to Section 7.18, the Trustee shall transfer amounts in the
Unused Proceeds Account to the Payment Account for application on the
immediately following Payment Date to pay principal of the Notes, first, to the
payment of principal of the Class A-1 Notes, second, the payment of principal
of the Class A-2 Notes, third, the payment of principal of the Class B Notes, fourth,
the payment of principal of the Class C Notes, fifth, the payment of principal
of the Class D Notes, sixth, the payment of principal of the Class E Notes,

 

177

 

seventh, the
payment of principal of the Class F Notes, eighth, the payment of principal of
the Class G Notes, ninth, the payment of principal of the Class H Notes, tenth,
the payment of principal of the Class J Notes and eleventh, the payment of
principal of the Class K Notes, in each case until the ratings assigned on the
Closing Date to each Class of Notes have been reinstated or such Class has been
paid in full.  Any excess amount shall be
treated as Principal Proceeds and applied in accordance with the Priority of
Payments.  If no Ratings Confirmation
Failure occurs, to the extent the Collateral Manager has not identified such
amounts as Interest Proceeds pursuant to Section 10.4(c), the Trustee
shall transfer the amounts on deposit in the Unused Proceeds Account to the
Principal Collection Account, and such amounts will be treated as Principal
Proceeds and applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

 

(e)      During the
Ramp-Up Period, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) may
by Issuer Order direct the Trustee to, and upon receipt of such Issuer Order
the Trustee shall, apply amounts on deposit in the Unused Proceeds Account to
acquire Collateral Debt Securities selected by the Collateral Manager as
permitted under and in accordance with the requirements of Section 7.17
and such Issuer Order.

 

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

 

Section 10.5           Delayed
Funding Obligations Account.

 

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

 

178

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 10.6           Expense
Account.

 

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

 

179

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 10.7           Interest
Advances.

 

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

 

180

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

181

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

182

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 10.8           Reports
by Parties.

 

The Trustee shall supply, in a timely fashion, to the
Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Preferred Shares Paying Agent and the Collateral
Manager any information regularly maintained by the Trustee that the Issuer,
the Co-Issuer, the Preferred Shares Paying Agent or the Collateral Manager may
from time to time request with respect to the Pledged Obligations or the

by reason of its acting as Trustee hereunder and required to be provided by Section
10.9 or to permit the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations under
the Collateral Management Agreement.  The

limitation, notices of calls and redemptions of securities) as well as all
periodic financial reports received from such issuer and Clearing Agencies with
respect to such issuer.  Each of the
Issuer and Collateral Manager shall promptly forward to the Trustee any
information in their possession or reasonably available to them concerning any
of the Pledged Obligations that the Trustee reasonably may request or that
reasonably may be necessary to enable the Trustee to prepare any report or
perform any duty or function on its part to be performed under the terms of

ARTICLE 12

 

SALE OF
COLLATERAL DEBT SECURITIES

 

Section 12.1           Sales
of Collateral Debt Securities.

 

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

 

(i)            any
Defaulted Security at any time;

 

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

 

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

 

209

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

210

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

211

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 12.2           Reinvestment
Criteria and Trading Restrictions.

 

(a)      Except as
provided in Section 12.3(c), during the Reinvestment Period, Unscheduled
Principal Payments, Sale Proceeds and other Principal Proceeds will be
reinvested in Substitute Collateral Debt Securities (which shall be, and hereby
are, Granted to

delivered to the Trustee, as of the date of the commitment to purchase such
Substitute Collateral Debt Securities:

(ii)           the
Coverage Tests are satisfied (or, if not satisfied, are maintained or

improved after giving effect to such reinvestment; provided,
however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, Sale Proceeds of Collateral Debt Securities may be reinvested as
long as the Collateral Manager provides written notice of each such sale and
reinvestment to S&P within three (3) Business Days after such reinvestment;
and

 

(iv)          no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(b)      Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions, (i) Cash on deposit in the Collection Accounts may be

was the subject of a commitment entered into by the Issuer prior to the
occurrence of such Event of Default.

(iii)          The
Collateral Manager will deliver a general solicitation package to the Listed

sheet (which will permit a bidder to bid for all of the Collateral Debt
Securities or separately for any one or more (but not all) Collateral Debt
Securities and will include a representation from the bidder that it is
eligible to purchase all of the Collateral Debt Securities or any one or more
(but not all) Collateral Debt Securities) to be provided to the Trustee by the
Collateral Manager; (e) a detailed timetable; and (f) 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

Purchaser status, etc.)).

 

(iv)          The
Collateral Manager will send solicitation packages to all Listed Bidders on the
List at least 20 Business Days before the proposed Auction Call Redemption
Date. The Listed Bidders will be required to submit any due diligence questions
(or comments on the draft purchase agreement) in writing to the Collateral
Manager by a date specified in the solicitation package. The Collateral Manager
will be required to answer all reasonable and relevant questions by the date
specified in the solicitation package and the Collateral Manager will
distribute the questions and answers and the revised final Auction Purchase
Agreement to all Listed Bidders (with a copy to the Issuer and the Trustee).

 

(b)      Auction
Process.

 

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

 

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

 

(iii)          Unless
the Trustee receives (A) at least one bid from a Listed Bidder to purchase all

Bidders (to purchase one or more (but not all) Collateral Debt Securities) for
all Collateral Debt Securities in the aggregate, the Trustee will decline to
consummate the sale.

 

215

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

 

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

 

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

 

216

 

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

 

Section 12.5           Modifications
to Collateral Quality Tests or Coverage Tests.

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 14.2           Acts

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

 

224

 

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

 

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

 

(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 Notes Register.  The Notional Amount and registered numbers of
the Preferred Shares held by any Person, and the date of his holding the same,
shall be proved by the register maintained with respect to the Preferred
Shares.

 

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

Section 14.4           Notices
to Noteholders; Waiver.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

227

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 14.5           Effect
of Headings and Table of Contents.

 

The Article and 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.

 

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the
Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall bind their respective successors and assigns,
whether so expressed or not.

 

Section 14.7           Severability.

 

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

 

Section 14.8           Benefits
of Indenture.

 

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities,
expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than (i) the parties
hereto and their successors hereunder and (ii) the Collateral Manager, each
Hedge Counterparty, the Preferred Shareholders, the Preferred Shares Paying
Agent, the Shares Registrar and the Noteholders (each of whom, in the case of
this subclause (ii), shall be an express third party beneficiary hereunder),
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 GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO
AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS
PRINCIPLES.

 

228

 

Section 14.10         Submission
to Jurisdiction.

 

Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby
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 each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby irrevocably agrees
that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in such New York State or federal court.  Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby
irrevocably waives, 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 Issuer’s and the Co-Issuer’s agent 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         Liability
of Co-Issuers.

 

Notwithstanding any other terms of this Indenture, the
Notes or any other agreement entered into between, inter alios,
the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or otherwise, neither the Issuer nor the Co-Issuer
shall have any liability whatsoever to the Co-Issuer or the Issuer,
respectively, under this Indenture, the Notes, any such agreement or otherwise
and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, neither the Issuer
nor the Co-Issuer shall be entitled to take any steps to enforce, or bring any action
or proceeding, in respect of this Indenture, the Notes, any such agreement or
otherwise against the other Co-Issuer or the Issuer, respectively.  In particular, neither the Issuer nor the
Co-Issuer shall be entitled to petition or take any other steps for the winding
up or bankruptcy of the Co-Issuer or the Issuer, respectively or shall have any
claim in respect of any assets of the Co-Issuer or the Issuer, respectively.

of the Trustee (except as otherwise expressly required by this Indenture,
including, without limitation, as set forth in subsection (f) of this Section
15.1) which license shall be and is hereby deemed to be automatically
revoked upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder until such time,
if any, as such Event of Default is cured or waived.

 

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

 

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

 

(d)      The Issuer
represents that it has not executed any assignment of any of the Article 15
Agreements other than this collateral assignment.

 

(e)      The Issuer
agrees that this assignment is irrevocable, and that it shall not take any
action which is inconsistent with this assignment or make any other assignment
inconsistent herewith.  The Issuer shall,
from time to time 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 specify.

 

(f)       The Issuer

made expressly applicable to each of the Seller and the Collateral Manager pursuant
to the applicable Article 15 Agreement;

 

230

 

(ii)           each of
the Seller and the Collateral Manager, as applicable, acknowledges that the

and under the Collateral Debt Securities Purchase Agreements and the Collateral
Management Agreement, as applicable, to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholders, each Hedge Counterparty and each of the Seller and the Collateral
Manager, as applicable, agrees that all of the representations, covenants and
agreements made by each of the Seller and the Collateral Manager, as
applicable, in the applicable Article 15 Agreement are also for the benefit of,

Trustee duplicate original copies of all notices, statements, communications
and instruments delivered or required to be delivered to the Issuer pursuant to
the applicable Article 15 Agreement;

 

(iv)          none of the
Issuer, the Seller or the Collateral Manager shall enter into any agreement
amending, modifying or terminating the applicable Article 15 Agreement, (other
than in respect of an amendment or modification to cure any inconsistency,
ambiguity or manifest error) or selecting or consenting to a successor
collateral manager, without notifying each Rating Agency and without the prior
written consent and written confirmation of each Rating Agency that such
amendment, modification or termination will not cause its then-current ratings
of the Notes to be reduced;

 

(v)           except as
otherwise set forth herein and therein (including, without limitation, pursuant
to Sections 12 and 13 of the Collateral Management Agreement),
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 pursuant to the Priority of Payments.  The Collateral Manager agrees not to cause
the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer for the nonpayment of
the fees or other amounts payable to the Collateral Manager under the
Collateral Management Agreement until the payment in full of all Notes issued
under this Indenture and the expiration of a period equal to the applicable
preference period under the Bankruptcy Code plus ten days following such
payment; and

 

(vi)          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

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 by certified mail, return receipt
requested, or delivery requiring signature and proof of delivery of copies of
such initial process to it at GKK Manager LLC, 420 Lexington Avenue, 19th

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.

 

ARTICLE 16

 

HEDGE AGREEMENT

 

Section 16.1           Issuer’s
Obligations under Hedge Agreement.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

232

 

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

 

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

 

233

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

234

 

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

 

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

 

235

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(iii)          post collateral in respect of its
obligations under the related Hedge Agreement.

 

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

 

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

 

Section 16.2           Collateral
Debt Securities Purchase Agreements.

 

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

 

236

 

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

 

Section 16.3           Cure
Rights.

 

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

 

237

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 16.4           Purchase
Right; Majority Preferred Shares Holder.

 

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

 

238

 

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

 

Section 16.5           Representations
and Warranties Related to Subsequent Collateral Debt Securities.

 

(a)      If the
Collateral Debt Security is a Subsequent Collateral Debt Security, upon the
acquisition of such Subsequent Collateral Debt Security by the Issuer, the related
seller has made or assigned to the Issuer the following:

(ii)           in the
case of a B Note, the representations and warranties in form and substance

I with respect to such B Note;

 

(iii)          in
the case of a Participation, the representations and warranties in form and
substance substantially similar to the representations and warranties set forth
as Schedule J with respect to such Participation;

 

(iv)          in the case
of a Mezzanine Loan, the representations and warranties in form and substance

K with respect to such Mezzanine Loan;

 

(v)           in the
case of a Preferred Equity Security, the representations and warranties in form
and substance substantially similar to the representations and warranties set
forth as Schedule M with respect to such Preferred Equity Security;

 

(vi)          in the case
of a CMBS Security, the representations and warranties in form and substance
substantially similar to the representations and warranties set forth as Schedule
L with respect to such CMBS Security; and

 

(vii)         in
the case of a CRE CDO Security, the representations and warranties in form and
substance substantially similar to the representations and warranties set forth
as Schedule L with respect to such CRE CDO Security.

 

(b)      The
representations and warranties in Section 16.5(a) with respect to the
acquisition of a Subsequent Collateral Debt Security may be subject to any
modification, limitation or qualification that the Collateral Manager
determines to be acceptable in accordance with the Collateral Manager Servicing
Standard; provided that the Collateral Manager
will provide each Rating Agency with a report attached to each Monthly Report
identifying each such modification, exception, limitation or qualification
received with respect to the acquisition of any Subsequent Collateral Debt
Security during the period covered by the

 

239

 

Monthly Report,
which report may contain explanations by the Collateral Manager as to its
determinations.

 

(c)      The Issuer
shall obtain a covenant from the Person making any representation or warranty
to the Issuer pursuant to Section 16.5(a) that such Person shall
repurchase the related Collateral Debt Security if any such representation or
warranty is breached (but only after the expiration of any permitted cure
periods and failure to cure such breach). 
The purchase price for any Collateral Debt Security repurchased (the “Repurchase
Price”) shall be a price equal to the sum of the following (in each case,
without duplication) as of the date of such repurchase: (i) the outstanding
principal amount thereof, plus (ii)
accrued and unpaid interest on such Collateral Debt Security, plus (iii) any unreimbursed advances, plus
(iv) accrued and unpaid interest on advances on the Collateral Debt Security, plus (v) any reasonable costs and expenses (including, but
not limited to, the cost of any enforcement action, incurred by the Issuer or
the Trustee in connection with any such purchase by a seller).

 

Section 16.6           Operating
Advisor; Additional Debt.

 

If the Issuer, as holder of a B Note, a Participation,
Preferred Equity Security or a Mezzanine Loan, has the right pursuant to the
related Underlying Instruments to appoint the operating advisor, directing
holder or Person serving a similar function under the Underlying Instruments,
each of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Manager shall take such
actions as are reasonably necessary to appoint the Collateral Manager to such
position.  If the Issuer, as holder of a
B Note, a Participation or a Mezzanine Loan, has the right pursuant to the
related Underlying Instruments to consent to the related borrower incurring any
additional debt, such consent will be subject to satisfaction of the Rating
Agency Condition.

voluntary or involuntary proceeding or petition seeking winding up,
liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or similar law now or hereinafter in effect, (ii) the appointment
of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar
official for the Advancing Agent or for a substantial part of its assets and

obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation
in each jurisdiction

 

240

 

in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Indenture to perform its duties under this Indenture.

 

(b)      Any Person into
which the Advancing Agent may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Advancing Agent shall
be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Advancing Agent
shall be the successor of the Advancing Agent, hereunder, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding (it being understood
and agreed by the parties hereto that the consummation of any such transaction
by the Advancing Agent shall have no effect on the Trustee’s obligations under Section

10.7).

 

Section 17.3           Limitation
on Liability of the Advancing Agent and Others.

 

None of the Advancing Agent or any of its affiliates,
directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under any liability for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Indenture, or for errors in judgment; provided,

against liability to the Issuer or Noteholders for any breach of warranties or
representations made herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed
by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder.  The Advancing Agent
and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Advancing Agent may rely in
good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Advancing
Agent and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Advancing Agent shall

in connection with any legal action relating to this Indenture or the Notes,
other than any loss, liability or expense (i) specifically required to be borne

Indenture); or (ii) incurred by reason of any breach of a representation,
warranty or covenant made herein, any misfeasance, bad faith or negligence by

241

effect on the business, operations, assets or financial condition of the
Advancing Agent or the ability of the Advancing Agent to perform its
obligations under, or on the validity or enforceability of, the provisions of
this Indenture applicable to the Advancing Agent;

 

(b)      the Advancing
Agent has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this
Indenture; this Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
the Advancing Agent and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the

except that the enforceability hereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter
in effect relating to creditors’ rights and (ii) general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law);

 

(c)      neither the
execution and delivery of this Indenture nor the performance by the Advancing
Agent of its duties hereunder conflicts with or will violate or result in a
breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitutes a
default under: (i) the Certificate of Formation and limited liability company
agreement of the Advancing Agent, (ii) the terms of any indenture, contract,

arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Advancing Agent or its properties, and
which would have, in the case of any of (i), (ii) or (iii) of this subsection
(c), either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the
business, operations, assets or financial condition of the Advancing Agent or
the ability of the Advancing Agent to perform its obligations under this
Indenture;

 

(d)      no litigation
is pending or, to the best of the Advancing Agent’s knowledge, threatened,
against the Advancing Agent that would materially and adversely affect the
execution, delivery or enforceability of this Indenture or the ability of the
Advancing Agent to perform any of its obligations under this Indenture in accordance
with the terms hereof; and

 

(e)      no consent,
approval, authorization or order of or declaration or filing with any
government, governmental instrumentality or court or other person is required

Section 17.5           Resignation
and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

 

(a)      No resignation
or removal of the Advancing Agent and no appointment of a successor Advancing

acceptance of appointment by the successor Advancing Agent under Section
17.6.

 

242

 

(b)      The Advancing
Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer,
the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager, each Hedge Counterparty,
the Noteholders and each Rating Agency.

 

(c)      The Advancing
Agent may be removed at any time by Act of 66 2/3% of the Preferred Shares upon
written notice delivered to the Trustee and to the Issuer and the Co-Issuer.

 

(d)      If the
Advancing Agent fails to make an Interest Advance required by this Indenture
with respect to a Distribution Date, the Trustee, in its capacity as Back-Up
Advancing Agent, shall be required to make such Interest Advance and shall be
entitled to receive, in consideration thereof, the Advancing Agent Fee (in lieu
of the Back-Up Advancing Fee) in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

 

(e)      In addition, if
the Advancing Agent shall have failed, on more than two occasions prior to date
on which no Class A Notes or Class B Notes remain Outstanding, to make an
Interest Advance required by this Indenture, which failure, in each case, is
not cured by the remittance of the amount of such Interest Advance by the
Advancing Agent to the Trustee with 30 days of such failure, such Advancing
Agent shall be deemed to have automatically (and without the need for any act
on the part of any Person) resigned as an advancing agent hereunder and the
Trustee shall automatically (and without the need for any act on the part of
any Person) assume the capacity of the successor Advancing Agent
hereunder.  Thereafter, the Trustee shall
be entitled to receive, in consideration of becoming the successor Advancing
Agent, the Advancing Agent Fee (for so long as the Trustee acts as successor
Advancing Agent and in lieu of the Backup Advancing Agent Fee) in accordance
with the Priority of Payments.

 

(f)       If the
Advancing Agent shall resign or be removed, upon receiving such notice of
resignation or removal, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly appoint a
successor advancing agent by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by an
Authorized Officer of the Issuer and an Authorized Officer of the Co-Issuer,
one copy of which shall be delivered to the Advancing Agent so resigning and
one copy to the successor Advancing Agent, together with a copy to each
Noteholder, the Trustee, each Hedge Counterparty and the Collateral Manager; provided that such successor Advancing Agent shall be
appointed only subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition and upon
the written consent of a Majority of the Preferred Shares.  If no successor Advancing Agent shall have

Each of GRAMERCY REAL ESTATE CDO 2005-1, LTD., a
Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (the “Issuer”)
and GRAMERCY REAL ESTATE CDO 2005-1 LLC, a limited liability company formed
under the laws of Delaware (the “Co-Issuer”) for value received, hereby
promises to pay to CEDE & CO. or its registered assigns (a) upon
presentation and surrender of this Note (except as otherwise permitted by the
Indenture referred to below), the principal sum of up to [          ]
United States Dollars (U.S. $[          ])
on July 25, 2035 (the “Stated Maturity”), to the extent not
previously paid, in accordance with the Indenture referred to below unless the unpaid
principal of this Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by
declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise and (b) the Class [   ]
Interest Distribution Amount allocable to this Note in accordance with the
Indenture payable initially on October 25, 2005, and quarterly on each January 25,
April 25, July 25 and October 25 thereafter (or if such day is
not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day) (each, a “Payment
Date”).  Interest shall be computed
on the basis of the actual number of days in the Interest Accrual Period
applicable to the Class [   ] Notes divided by 360.  The interest so payable on any Payment Date
will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this
Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business
on the Record Date for such interest, which shall be the fifteenth day (whether
or not a Business Day) prior to the applicable Payment Date.

 

The obligations of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer under
this Note and the Indenture are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer and
the Co-Issuer payable solely from the Collateral Debt Securities and other
Assets pledged by the Issuer, and in the event the Collateral Debt Securities
and other such Assets are insufficient to satisfy such obligations, any claims
of the Holders of the Notes shall be extinguished.

 

The aggregate principal amount of this Class [   ]
Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the
records of the Trustee as custodian for CEDE & Co. in the manner
provided in Section 2.2(b) of the Indenture.

 

Payments of principal and interest on this Note are
subordinated to the payment on each Distribution Date of certain other amounts
in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Section 13.1 of the
Indenture.

 

[Under certain circumstances specified in the
Indenture, certain amounts payable hereunder that are not available to be paid
as a result of the operation of the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date
shall not be considered “due and payable” for the purposes of the Indenture
until the Payment Date on which they are to be paid in accordance with the
Priority of Payments.](1)

 

Payments in respect of principal and interest and any
other amounts due on any Payment Date on this Note shall be payable by the
Trustee or a Paying Agent, subject to any laws or regulations applicable
thereto, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a Dollar account
maintained by the Registered Holder hereof; provided that
the Registered Holder shall have provided wiring instructions to the Trustee on
or before the related Record Date, or, if wire transfer cannot be effected, by
Dollar check drawn on a bank as provided in the Indenture and mailed to the
Registered Holder at its address in the Notes Register.

 

(1) Applicable to Class C,
D, E, F, G, H, J and K Notes.

Interest will cease to accrue on this Note, or in the
case of a partial repayment, on such part, from the date of repayment or Stated
Maturity unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or unless a Default
is otherwise made with respect to such payments of principal.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment of
interest and principal due on this Note shall be made only upon presentation
and surrender of this Note (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture) at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at any Paying Agent.

 

The Registered Holder of this Note shall be treated as
the owner hereof for all purposes.

 

Except as specifically provided herein and in the
Indenture, neither the Issuer nor the Co-Issuer shall be required to make any
payment with respect to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge
imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has
been executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized
officers, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or
be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Class [  ]
[Second] [Third] [Fourth] [Fifth] [Sixth] [Seventh] [Eighth] [Ninth] [Senior] [Secured]
Floating Rate [Capitalized Interest] Term Notes Due 2035, of the Issuer and the
Co-Issuer (the “Class [   ] Notes”), limited in
aggregate principal amount to U.S. $[            ]
to be issued under an indenture dated as of July 14, 2005 (the “Indenture”)
by and among the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
as trustee, paying agent, calculation agent, transfer agent, custodial
securities intermediary, backup advancing agent and notes registrar (in such
capacity and together with any successor trustee permitted under the Indenture,
the “Trustee”) and GKK Liquidity LLC, as advancing agent.

 

The Issuer will also issue 105,000,000 Preferred
Shares having a par value of U.S. $0.01 per share and a notional amount of U.S.
$1.00 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), under the Issuer’s Memorandum
and Articles of Association as part of its issued share capital.

 

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the
Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Holders of the Notes and the Preferred Shareholders
and the terms upon which the Notes and the Preferred Shares are, and are to be,
executed, authenticated and delivered.

 

Payments of principal of the Class [  ]
Notes shall be payable in accordance with Section 11.1(a) of the
Indenture.

 

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.

 

Pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Indenture, the
Notes are subject to redemption by the Issuer at the direction of the
Collateral Manager, in whole but not in part, upon notice given in the manner
provided in the Indenture, on or after the Payment Date on which the Aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Notes (excluding any Class C Capitalized
Interest, Class D Capitalized Interest, Class E Capitalized Interest,
Class F Capitalized Interest, Class G Capitalized Interest, Class H
Capitalized Interest, Class J Capitalized Interest or Class K
Capitalized Interest) has been reduced to 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding
Amount of the Notes on the Closing Date; provided that
no such redemption may be made until any payments due and payable upon a
termination of each Hedge Agreement shall be made in accordance with the
procedures as set forth therein; provided, further, that the funds available to be used for such
redemption will be sufficient to pay the Total Redemption Price.

 

Pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Indenture, the
Notes and the Preferred Shares are subject to redemption by the Issuer at a price
equal to the applicable Redemption Price, on any Payment Date on or after the
Payment Date occurring in July 2008 at the direction of the Issuer (such
redemption, an “Optional Redemption”), in whole but not in part (i) by
Act of a Majority of the Preferred Shares delivered to the Trustee, or (ii) at
the direction of the Collateral Manager unless a Majority of the Preferred
Shares object; provided, however,
that any payments due and payable upon a termination of each Hedge Agreement
will be made in accordance with the terms thereof and the

 

A-4

 

Indenture; and provided further, the funds available to be used for such
Optional Redemption will be sufficient to pay the Total Redemption Price.

 

Pursuant to Section 9.2 of the Indenture, the
Notes and the Preferred Shares are subject to redemption by the Issuer, during
the period from and including the Payment Date occurring in July 2015 and
to but not including the first Payment Date on which the Clean-up Call may be
exercised, in whole but not in part, if a Successful Auction is completed (such
redemption, an “Auction Call Redemption”), at their applicable
Redemption Prices; provided, that
any payments due and payable upon a termination of each Hedge Agreement shall
be made on the Auction Call Redemption Date in accordance with the terms
thereof and in the Indenture; provided, further, that the funds available to be used for such
Auction Call Redemption will be sufficient to pay the Total Redemption
Price.  In addition, the Notes are
subject to redemption by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or, in the case of the
Preferred Shares, by the Issuer, upon notice given in the manner provided
below, on any Payment Date under certain circumstances as provided in the
Indenture.  The Redemption Price for any
Note redeemed pursuant to Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 of the Indenture
shall be as set forth in the Indenture.

 

In the case of any redemption of the Notes, interest
installments whose Payment Date is on or prior to the applicable redemption
date will 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.  Notes for whose redemption and
payment provision is made in accordance with the Indenture shall cease to bear
interest on the applicable redemption date (unless the Issuer shall default in
the payment of the Redemption Price).

 

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

 

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

 

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
the Class [   ] Notes may become or be declared due and
payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

 

By written notice to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the
Trustee and each Hedge Counterparty, a Majority of each and every Class of
Notes (voting as a separate Class) may rescind a declaration of acceleration of
the maturity of the Notes at any time prior to a judgment or decree for payment
of money due, provided that certain conditions
set forth in the Indenture are satisfied.

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as
therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer and the rights of the Holders under
the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer with the consent of
each Hedge Counterparty, a Majority of each Class of Notes adversely
affected thereby and a Majority of the Preferred Shares adversely affected
thereby and subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.  Upon the execution of any supplemental
indenture, the Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such
supplemental indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes; and
every Holder of Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered thereunder shall
be bound thereby.  The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, a
Majority of each and every Class of Notes (voting as a separate Class) to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past Defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.

 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision
of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligations of the
Issuer and the Co-Issuer, which are absolute and unconditional to the extent
permitted by applicable law, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note
at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

 

A-5

 

The Notes are issuable in minimum denominations of
$500,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

The principal of each Note shall be payable at the
Stated Maturity thereof unless the unpaid principal of such Note becomes due
and payable on an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for
redemption or otherwise.

 

The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any
successor to the Issuer under the Indenture and the term “Co-Issuer” as used in
this Note includes any successor to the Co-Issuer under the Indenture.

 

The Class [  ] Notes are limited
recourse obligations of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer and are limited in right
of payment to amounts available from the Assets as provided in the
Indenture.  No other assets will be
available to satisfy payments on the Class [   ] Notes.

 

Each purchaser and any subsequent transferee of this
Note or any interest herein shall, by virtue of its purchase or other
acquisition of this Note or interest herein, be deemed to have agreed to treat
this Note as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE, THE INDENTURE AND THE
NOTES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN
WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

Each of GRAMERCY REAL ESTATE CDO 2005-1, LTD., a
Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (the “Issuer”)
and GRAMERCY REAL ESTATE CDO 2005-1 LLC, a limited liability company formed
under the laws of Delaware (the “Co-Issuer”) for value received, hereby
promises to pay to [           ],
or its registered assigns (a) upon presentation and surrender of this Note
(except as otherwise permitted by the Indenture referred to below), the
principal sum of up to [           ]
United States Dollars (U.S. $[           ])
on July 25, 2035 (the “Stated Maturity”), to the extent not
previously paid, in accordance with the Indenture referred to below unless the
unpaid principal of this Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by
declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise and (b) the Class [  ]
Interest Distribution Amount allocable to this Note in accordance with the
Indenture payable initially on October 25, 2005, and quarterly on each October 25,
January 25, April 25 and July 25 thereafter (or if such day is
not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day) (each, a “Payment
Date”).  Interest shall be computed
on the basis of the actual number of days in the Interest Accrual Period
applicable to the Class [  ] Notes divided by 360.  The interest so payable on any Payment Date
will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this
Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business
on the Record Date for such interest, which shall be the fifteenth day (whether
or not a Business Day) prior to the applicable Payment Date.

 

The obligations of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer under
this Note and the Indenture are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer and
the Co-Issuer payable solely from the Collateral Debt Securities and other
Assets pledged by the Issuer, and in the event the Collateral Debt Securities
and other such Assets are insufficient to satisfy such obligations, any claims
of the Holders of the Notes shall be extinguished.

 

Payments of principal and interest on this Note are
subordinated to the payment on each Distribution Date of certain other amounts
in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Section 13.1 of the
Indenture.

 

[Under certain circumstances specified in the
Indenture, certain amounts payable hereunder that are not available to be paid
as a result of the operation of the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date
shall not be considered “due and payable” for the purposes of the Indenture
until the Payment Date on which they are to be paid in accordance with the
Priority of Payments.](1)

 

Payments in respect of principal and interest and any
other amounts due on any Payment Date on this Note shall be payable by the
Trustee or a Paying Agent, subject to any laws or regulations applicable
thereto, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a Dollar account
maintained by the Registered Holder hereof; provided that the Registered Holder
shall have provided wiring instructions to the Trustee on or before the related
Record Date, or, if wire transfer cannot be effected, by Dollar check drawn on
a bank as provided in the Indenture and mailed to the Registered Holder at its
address in the Notes Register.

 

Interest will cease to accrue on this Note, or in the
case of a partial repayment, on such part, from the date of repayment or Stated
Maturity unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or unless a Default
is otherwise made with respect to such payments of principal.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment of
interest and principal due on this Note shall be made only upon presentation
and surrender of this Note (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture) at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at any Paying Agent.

imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has
been executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized
officers, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or
be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Class [  ]

[Eleventh] [Senior] [Secured] Floating Rate [Capitalized Interest] Term Notes
Due 2035, of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer (the “Class [  ]
Notes”), limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S. $[            ]

The Issuer will also issue 105,000,000 Preferred
Shares having a par value of U.S. $0.01 per share and a notional amount of U.S.
$1.00 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), under the Issuer’s Memorandum
and Articles of Association as part of its issued share capital.

 

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the
Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Holders of the Notes and the Preferred Shareholders
and the terms upon which the Notes and the Preferred Shares are, and are to be,
executed, authenticated and delivered.

 

Payments of principal of the Class [  ]
Notes shall be payable in accordance with Section 11.1(a) of the
Indenture.

 

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.

 

Pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Indenture, the
Notes are subject to redemption by the Issuer at the direction of the
Collateral Manager, in whole but not in part, upon notice given in the manner
provided in the Indenture, on or after the Payment Date on which the Aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Notes (excluding any Class C Capitalized
Interest, Class D Capitalized Interest, Class E Capitalized Interest,
Class F Capitalized Interest, Class G Capitalized Interest, Class H
Capitalized Interest, Class J Capitalized Interest or Class K
Capitalized Interest) has been reduced to 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding
Amount of the Notes on the Closing Date; provided that no such redemption may
be made until any payments due and payable upon a termination of each Hedge Agreement
shall be made in accordance with the procedures as set forth therein; provided,
further, that the funds available to be used for such redemption will be
sufficient to pay the Total Redemption Price.

 

Pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Indenture, the Notes
and the Preferred Shares are subject to redemption by the Issuer at a price
equal to the applicable Redemption Price, on any Payment Date on or after the
Payment Date occurring in July 2008 at the direction of the Issuer (such
redemption, an “Optional Redemption”), in whole but not in part (i) by
Act of a Majority of the Preferred Shares delivered to the Trustee, or (ii) at
the direction of the Collateral Manager unless a Majority of the Preferred
Shares object; provided, however, that any payments due and payable upon a
termination of each Hedge Agreement will be made in accordance with the terms
thereof and the Indenture; and provided further, the funds available to be used
for such Optional Redemption will be sufficient to pay the Total Redemption Price.

 

Pursuant to Section 9.2 of the Indenture, the
Notes and the Preferred Shares are subject to redemption by the Issuer, during
the period from and including the Payment Date occurring in July 2015 and
to but not including the first Payment Date on which the Clean-up Call may be

redemption, an “Auction Call Redemption”), at their applicable
Redemption Prices; provided, that any payments due and payable upon a
termination of each Hedge Agreement shall be made on the Auction Call

 

B-3

 

Redemption Date in
accordance with the terms thereof and in the Indenture; provided, further, that
the funds available to be used for such Auction Call Redemption will be
sufficient to pay the Total Redemption Price. 
In addition, the Notes are subject to redemption by the Issuer and the
Co-Issuer or, in the case of the Preferred Shares, by the Issuer, upon notice
given in the manner provided below, on any Payment Date under certain
circumstances as provided in the Indenture. 
The Redemption Price for any Note redeemed pursuant to Section 9.1
or Section 9.2 of the Indenture shall be as set forth in the Indenture.

 

In the case of any redemption of the Notes, interest
installments whose Payment Date is on or prior to the applicable redemption
date will 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.  Notes for whose redemption and payment
provision is made in accordance with the Indenture shall cease to bear interest
on the applicable redemption date (unless the Issuer shall default in the
payment of the Redemption Price).

 

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

 

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

 

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
the Class [   ] Notes may become or be declared due and
payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

 

By written notice to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the
Trustee and each Hedge Counterparty, a Majority of each and every Class of
Notes (voting as a separate Class) may rescind a declaration of acceleration of
the maturity of the Notes at any time prior to a judgment or decree for payment
of money due, provided that certain conditions set forth in the Indenture are
satisfied.

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as
therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer and the rights of the Holders under
the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer with the consent of
each Hedge Counterparty, a Majority of each Class of Notes adversely
affected thereby and a Majority of the Preferred Shares adversely affected
thereby and subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.  Upon the execution of any supplemental
indenture, the Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such
supplemental indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes; and
every Holder of Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered thereunder shall
be bound thereby.  The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, a
Majority of each and every Class of Notes (voting as a separate Class) to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past Defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.

 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision
of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligations of the
Issuer and the Co-Issuer, which are absolute and unconditional to the extent
permitted by applicable law, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note
at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

 

The Notes are issuable in minimum denominations of
$500,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

The principal of each Note shall be payable at the
Stated Maturity thereof unless the unpaid principal of such Note becomes due
and payable on an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for
redemption or otherwise.

 

B-4

 

The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any
successor to the Issuer under the Indenture and the term “Co-Issuer” as used in
this Note includes any successor to the Co-Issuer under the Indenture.

 

The Class [  ] Notes are non-recourse
obligations of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer and are limited in right of payment
to amounts available from the Assets as provided in the Indenture.  No other assets will be available to satisfy
payments on the Class [  ] Notes.

 

Each purchaser and any subsequent transferee of this
Note or any interest herein shall, by virtue of its purchase or other
acquisition of this Note or interest herein, be deemed to have agreed to treat
this Note as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE, THE INDENTURE AND THE
NOTES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN
WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

any Loan
which is pari passu with such Loan and secured by the same commercial mortgage
and the denominator of which is the total principal balance of the commercial
mortgage loan related to such Loan.

 

(2)          For purposes of
calculating the tranche as a percentage of capital structure at issuance with
respect to a Mezzanine Loan, such amount shall be a percentage equal to a
fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate Principal Balance of (a) such
Mezzanine Loan and (b) any Mezzanine Loan which is pari passu with such
Mezzanine Loan and secured by an interest in an entity related to the same
commercial property and the denominator of which is the total principal balance
of any Loans related to the same commercial property.

 

The Moody’s Recovery Rate for REIT unsecured debt
securities is 40% (other than for mortgage and healthcare related REIT debt
securities, for which it is 10%).

 

If the timely payment of principal of and interest on
a Collateral Debt Security is guaranteed by another person or entity, the Moody’s
Recovery Rate will be determined in consultation with Moody’s.

Schedule F

 

LIBOR

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

and to deliver them to the parties entitled thereto under the Indenture;

 

(i)                                     managing

Manager and constitutes Rule 144A

of the Indenture, unless the Issuer furnishes information to the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act;

 

(v)                                 upon
reasonable request, assisting the Trustee or the Issuer with respect to such
actions to be taken after the Closing Date, as is necessary to maintain the
clearing and transfer of the Notes through DTC; and

 

(w)                               in
accordance with the Collateral Manager Servicing Standard, enforcing the rights
of the Issuer as holder of the Collateral Debt Securities, including without
limitation taking such action as is necessary to enforce the Issuer’s rights
with respect to remedies related to breaches of representations, warranties or
covenants in the Underlying Instruments for the benefit of the Issuer.

 

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Issuer hereby
appoints the Collateral Manager the Issuer’s true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution and full authority in the
Issuer’s name, place and stead and without any necessary further approval of
the Issuer, in connection with the performance of the Collateral Manager’s
duties provided for in this Agreement, including the following powers:  (i) in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Indenture and this Agreement, to buy, sell, exchange, convert
and otherwise trade Collateral Debt Securities and Eligible Investments, and (ii) to
execute (under hand, under seal or as a deed) and deliver all necessary and
appropriate documents and instruments on behalf of the Issuer to the extent
necessary or appropriate to perform the services referred to in (a) through
(w) above of this Section 1 and under the Indenture.  The foregoing power of attorney is a
continuing power, coupled with an interest, and shall remain in full force and
effect until revoked by the Issuer in writing by virtue of the termination of
this Agreement pursuant to Section 12 hereof or an assignment of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 17 hereof; provided that any such
revocation shall not affect any transaction initiated prior to such revocation.  Nevertheless, if so requested by the
Collateral Manager, a purchaser of a Collateral Debt Security or Eligible
Investment or a Hedge Counterparty, the Issuer shall ratify and confirm any
such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Collateral
Manager, such purchaser or such Hedge Counterparty all proper bills of sale,
assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such
request.

 

The Collateral Manager does not hereby guarantee that
sufficient funds will be available on each Payment Date to satisfy any such
payment obligations.  The Collateral
Manager shall perform its obligations hereunder and under the Indenture with
reasonable care and in good faith, using a degree of skill and attention no
less than that which it (a) exercises with respect to comparable assets
that it manages for itself and (b) exercises with respect to comparable
assets that it manages for others, and in a manner consistent with the
practices and procedures then in effect followed by reasonable and prudent
institutional managers of national standing relating to assets of the nature
and character of the Assets, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or
in the Indenture.  In addition, the
Collateral Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that
directions to the Trustee with respect to the purchase of Eligible Investments
are made by the Collateral Manager only if, in the Collateral Manager’s
commercially reasonable judgment at the time of such direction, payment at

 

4

 

settlement in respect of
any such purchase could be made without any breach or violation of, or default
under, the terms of the Indenture or this Agreement.  The Collateral Manager shall comply with and
perform all the duties and functions that have been specifically delegated to
the Collateral Manager under the Indenture. 
The Collateral Manager shall be bound to follow any amendment,
supplement or modification to the Indenture of which it has received written
notice at least ten Business Days prior to the execution and delivery thereof
by the parties thereto; provided, however, that, with respect to
any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver to the Indenture which may affect
the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager shall not be bound thereby (and
the Issuer agrees that it will not permit any such amendment, supplement,
modification or waiver to become effective) unless the Collateral Manager has
been given prior written notice thereof and gives its written consent thereto
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to the Trustee and the
Issuer prior to the effectiveness thereof.

 

The Collateral Manager shall take all actions
reasonably requested by the Trustee to facilitate the perfection of the Trustee’s
security interest in the Assets pursuant to the Indenture.

 

2.                                       Delegation
of Duties.  The Collateral Manager
may delegate to third parties (including its Affiliates), which it shall select
with reasonable care, and employ third parties to execute any or all of the
duties assigned to the Collateral Manager hereunder; provided, however,
that (i) the Collateral Manager shall not be relieved of any of its duties
hereunder as a result of such delegation to or employment of third parties, (ii) the
Collateral Manager shall be solely responsible for the fees and expenses
payable to any such third party, except as set forth in Section 6 hereof,
and (iii) such delegation does not constitute an “assignment” under the
Advisers Act.

 

3.                                       Purchase
and Sale Transactions; Brokerage.

 

(a)                                  The
Collateral Manager shall seek to obtain the best overall terms for all orders
placed with respect to the Assets, considering all reasonable circumstances,
including, if applicable, the conditions or terms of early redemption of the Securities,
it being understood that the Collateral Manager has no obligation to obtain the
lowest prices available.  Subject to the foregoing
objective, the Collateral Manager may take into consideration all factors the
Collateral Manager reasonably determines to be relevant, including, without
limitation, timing, general relevant trends and research and other brokerage
services and support equipment and services related thereto furnished to the
Collateral Manager or its Affiliates by brokers and dealers in compliance with Section 28(e) of
the Exchange Act or, if Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act is not
applicable, in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.  Such services may be used in connection with
the other advisory activities or investment operations of the Collateral
Manager and/or its Affiliates.  In
addition, the Collateral Manager may take into account available prices, rates
of brokerage commissions and size and difficulty of the order, in addition to
other relevant factors (such as, without limitation, execution capabilities,
reliability (based on total trading rather than individual trading), integrity,
financial condition in general, execution and operational capabilities of
competing brokers and/or dealers, and the value of the ongoing relationship
with such brokers and/or dealers), without having to demonstrate that such
factors are of a direct benefit to the Issuer in any specific transaction.  The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that (i) the
determination by the Collateral Manager of any benefit to the Issuer is
subjective and represents

 

5

 

the Collateral Manager’s
evaluation at the time that the Issuer will be benefited by relatively better
purchase or sales prices, lower brokerage commissions and beneficial timing of
transactions or a combination of any of these and/or other factors and (ii) the
Collateral Manager shall be fully protected with respect to any such
determination to the extent the Collateral Manager acts in good faith, and in
accordance with the Collateral Manager Servicing Standard (to the extent
applicable), and without gross negligence, willful misconduct or reckless
disregard of the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or under the terms of the
Indenture.

 

The Collateral Manager may aggregate sales and
purchase orders of securities placed with respect to the Assets with similar
orders being made simultaneously for other accounts managed by the Collateral
Manager or with accounts of the Affiliates of the Collateral Manager if in the
Collateral Manager’s sole judgment, exercised in good faith, such aggregation will
not have an adverse effect on the Issuer. 
When any such aggregate sales or purchase orders occur, the objective of
the Collateral Manager (and any of its Affiliates involved in such
transactions) shall be to allocate the executions among the accounts in a manner
fair and equitable to all such accounts and generally to seek to allocate
securities available for investment to all such accounts pro rata in proportion
to the optimum amount sought by the Collateral Manager for each respective
account.  In connection with the
foregoing, the objective of the Collateral Manager shall be to allocate investment
opportunities and the purchases or sales of instruments in a manner believed by
the Collateral Manager, in good faith, taking into account the Collateral
Manager’s Servicing Standard (to the extent applicable), to be fair and
equitable.

 

In connection with any purchase of a portfolio of
assets other than securities, the objective of the Collateral Manager shall be
to allocate such assets (and the aggregate purchase price paid for such assets)
among the Collateral Manager’s clients (including the Issuer) in a manner
believed by the Collateral Manager to be fair and equitable.  The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the
Collateral Manager shall be fully protected with respect to any such allocation
to the extent the Collateral Manager acts in good faith, taking into account the
Collateral Manager’s Servicing Standard (to the extent applicable), and without
gross negligence, willful misconduct or reckless disregard of the obligations
of the Issuer hereunder or under the terms of the Indenture.

 

All purchases and sales of Eligible Investments and
Collateral Debt Securities by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer
shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws (including, without
limitation, Section 206(3) of the Advisers Act) and the terms of the
Indenture.  After (and excluding) the
Closing Date, the Collateral Manager shall cause any purchase or sale of any
Collateral Debt Security or Eligible Investment to be conducted on an arm’s-length
basis or, if applicable, in compliance with Section 3(b) hereof.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
all purchases (including, without limitation, purchases from Affiliates of the
Collateral Manager) of Eligible Investments and Collateral Debt Securities by
the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer on the Closing Date (including,
without limitation, all such purchases from Affiliates of the Collateral
Manager) in a manner contemplated by the final Offering Memorandum, dated July 8,
2005 (the “Offering Memorandum”), related to the Classes of Notes
offered thereby (or any supplement thereto) are hereby approved.

 

(b)                                 The
Collateral Manager, subject to and in accordance with the Indenture, may effect
direct trades between the Issuer and the Collateral Manager or any of its
Affiliates

 

6

 

acting as principal or agent (any
such transaction, a “Related Party Trade”); provided, however,
that a Related Party Trade after (and excluding) the Closing Date, other than
Credit Risk/Defaulted Security Cash Purchases, sales of property or securities
in accordance with the Origination Agreement and sales of Assets pursuant to an
auction in connection with an Auction Call Redemption or in connection with a
redemption of the Notes pursuant to Article 9 of the Indenture, may be
effected only (i) upon disclosure to and with the prior consent of an
advisory committee containing at least one member independent from the
Collateral Manager (whose affirmative vote will be required to grant such
consent) acting as a surrogate for, and in the best interest of, the holders of
the Securities that has been appointed from time to time as needed by the
Issuer or by the Collateral Manager following the resignation of any member (the
“Advisory Committee”) and based on the Advisory Committee’s
determination that such transaction is on terms substantially as favorable to
the Issuer as would be the case if a such transaction were effected with
Persons not so affiliated with the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates
and (ii) subject to a requirement that the purchase price in respect of
any Collateral Debt Security acquired by the Issuer from a Seller pursuant to
such a direct trade may not exceed the Principal Balance thereof plus accrued
and unpaid interest thereon (or, in the case of a Preferred Equity Security,
all accrued and unpaid dividends or other distributions not attributable to the
return of capital by its governing documents). 
The Advisory Committee, if any, shall be formed subject to the Advisory
Committee Guidelines attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Advisory
Committee Guidelines”).  The Issuer
consents and agrees that, if any transaction relating to the Issuer, including
any transaction effected between the Issuer and the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates,
shall be subject to the disclosure and consent requirements of Section 206(3) of
the Advisers Act, such requirements shall be satisfied with respect to the
Issuer and all Holders of the Securities if disclosure shall be given to, and
consent obtained from, the Advisory Committee. 
For avoidance of doubt, it is hereby understood and agreed by the
parties hereto that no disclosure to, or consent of, the Advisory Committee
shall be required with respect to Credit Risk/Defaulted Security Cash Purchases,
sales of property or securities in accordance with the Origination Agreement and
sales of Assets pursuant to an auction in connection with an Auction Call
Redemption or in connection with a redemption of the Notes pursuant to Article 9
of the Indenture.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent such provisions are determined not to satisy the
requirements of the Advisers Act, the Collateral Manager shall take such
actions in connection with any Related Party Trade as will satisfy the
requirements of Section 206(3) of the Advisers Act.

7.                                       Fees.
 As compensation for the performance of
its obligations as Collateral Manager hereunder and under the Indenture, the
Collateral Manager will be entitled to receive (i) a fee, payable
quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of
Payments, equal to 0.15% per annum of the Net Outstanding Portfolio Balance
(the “Senior Collateral
Management Fee”) and (ii) an additional fee, payable
quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of
Payments, equal to 0.25% per annum of the Net Outstanding Portfolio Balance
(the “Subordinate Collateral
Management Fee” and, together with the Senior Collateral
Management Fee, the “Collateral
Management Fee”).  Each
Collateral Management Fee will be calculated for each Interest Accrual Period
assuming a 360-day year with 12 thirty-day months.  The Collateral Management Fee will be
calculated based on the Net Outstanding Portfolio Balance as of the first day
of the applicable Interest Accrual Period. 
If on any Payment Date there are insufficient funds to pay such fees
(and/or any other amounts due and payable to the Collateral Manager) in full, in
accordance with the Priority of Payments, the amount not so paid shall be
deferred and such amounts shall be payable on such later Payment Date on which
funds are available therefor as provided in the Priority of Payments set forth
in the Indenture.  Any accrued and unpaid
Senior Collateral Management Fee that is deferred due to the operation of the
Priority of Payments shall accrue interest at LIBOR in effect for the
applicable Interest Accrual Period computed on an actual 360-day basis.  Any accrued and unpaid Subordinate Collateral
Management Fee that is deferred due to the operation of the Priority of
Payments shall accrue interest at LIBOR in effect for the applicable Interest
Accrual Period on an actual 360-day basis. 
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the aggregate amount of all
accrued but unpaid Subordinate Collateral Management Fee payable on the final
Payment Date or, if earlier, following the winding up of the Issuer shall be
equal to the lesser of (a) the nominal amount thereof and (b) the
amount available for payment under the Priority of

 

10

 

Payments. The Collateral
Manager hereby agrees not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy
against the Issuer for the nonpayment to the Collateral Manager of any amounts
due it hereunder except in accordance with Section 18 hereof and, subject
to the provisions of Section 12, to continue to serve as Collateral
Manager.  If this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to Section 12 hereof or otherwise, the accrued fees payable to
the Collateral Manager shall be prorated for any partial periods between the
Payment Dates during which this Agreement was in effect and shall be due and
payable on the first Payment Date following the date of such termination,
together with all expenses payable to the Collateral Manager in accordance with
Section 6 hereof, and subject to the provisions of the Indenture and the
Priority of Payments.

 

8.                                       Non-Exclusivity.
 Nothing herein shall prevent the
Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates or any of their officers or
directors from engaging in any other businesses or providing investment
management, advisory or any other types of services to any Persons, including
the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law; provided, however, that the Collateral Manager
may not take any of the foregoing actions which the Collateral Manager knows or
reasonably should know would require the Issuer or the pool of Assets to
register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act.

 

9.                                       Conflicts
of Interest.

 

(a)                                  After
(but excluding) the Closing Date and the sales by Affiliates of the Collateral
Manager of Collateral Debt Securities to the Issuer on the Closing Date (and
except in the case of Credit Risk/Defaulted Security Cash Purchases, sales of
property or securities in accordance with the Origination Agreement and sales
of Assets pursuant to an auction in connection with an Auction Call Redemption
or in connection with a redemption of the Notes pursuant to Article 9 of
the Indenture), the Collateral Manager will not cause the Issuer to enter into
any transaction with the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates as
principal unless the applicable terms and conditions set forth in Section 3(b) are
complied with.

 

(b)                                 The
Collateral Manager shall perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with
the requirements of the Advisers Act and the Indenture. The Issuer acknowledges
that (i) the Collateral Manager and/or its Affiliates will acquire on the
Closing Date 100% of each of the Class J Notes, the Class K Notes and
the Preferred Shares, (ii) Affiliates of the Collateral Manager will sell
Collateral Debt Securities to the Issuer on or prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) the
Collateral Manager, its Affiliates and funds or accounts for which the
Collateral Manager or its Affiliates acts as investment adviser may at times
own Notes of one or more additional Classes. 
After the Closing Date, the Collateral Manager agrees to provide to the
Trustee written notice upon the acquisition or transfer (after, but excluding,
the Closing Date) of any Securities held by the Collateral Manager, any of its
Affiliates or any fund managed or controlled by the Collateral Manager or any
Affiliate thereof.

 

(c)                                  Nothing
herein shall prevent the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates or officers
and directors of the Collateral Manager from engaging in other businesses
(including financing, purchasing, owning, holding, originating or disposing of
any assets or investments), or from rendering services of any kind to the
Issuer and its Affiliates, the Trustee, the Holders or any other Person or
entity, whether or not any of the foregoing may be competitive with the

 

11

 

business of the Issuer or
the Co-Issuer.  Without prejudice to the
generality of the foregoing, directors, officers, members, partners, employees
and agents of the Collateral Manager, Affiliates of the Collateral Manager, and
the Collateral Manager may, among other things:

 

(i)                    serve
as directors (whether supervisory or managing), officers, employees, partners, members,
managers, agents, nominees or signatories for the Issuer or any Affiliate
thereof, or for any obligor in respect of any of the Collateral Debt Securities
or Eligible Investments, or any of their respective Affiliates, except to the
extent prohibited by their respective Underlying Instruments, as from time to
time amended; provided that (x) in the reasonable judgment of the
Collateral Manager, such activity will not have a material adverse effect on
the ability of the Issuer or the Trustee to enforce its respective rights with
respect to any Assets and (y) nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to
limit the duties of the Collateral Manager set forth in Section 1 hereof;

 

(ii)                 perform,
and receive fees for the performance of, services of whatever nature rendered
to an obligor in respect of any of the Collateral Debt Securities or Eligible
Investments, including acting as master servicer, sub-servicer or special
servicer with respect to any CMBS Securities or with respect to any commercial
mortgage loan constituting or underlying any Collateral Debt Security; provided
that, in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Manager, such activity will
not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer or the Trustee to
enforce its respective rights with respect to any of the Assets; provided,
further, with respect to such services, the Collateral Manager is not
acting as an agent for the Issuer;

 

(iii)              be retained to provide services unrelated
to this Agreement to the Issuer or its Affiliates and be paid therefor;

 

(iv)             be
a secured or unsecured creditor of, or hold an equity interest in, the Issuer,
its Affiliates or any obligor of any Collateral Debt Security or Eligible
Investment; provided, however, that the Collateral Manager may
not be such a creditor or hold any of such interests if, in the opinion of
counsel to the Issuer, the existence of such interest would require
registration of the Issuer or the Assts as an “investment company” under the
Investment Company Act or violate any provisions of Federal or applicable state
law or any law, rule or regulation of any governmental body or agency
having jurisdiction over the Issuer;

 

(v)                own
equity in or own or make loans to any issuer of REIT Debt Securities including any
issuer of REIT Debt Securities obligated on any of the Collateral Debt
Securities, so long as that doing so will not cause any such Collateral Debt
Security to fail to comply with the Eligibility Criteria;

 

(vi)             make,
hold or sell an investment in an issuer’s securities that may be pari passu,
senior or junior in ranking to a Collateral Debt Security;

 

(vii)          except as otherwise provided in this Section 9,
sell any Collateral Debt Security or Eligible Investment to, or purchase any
Collateral Debt Security from, the Issuer while acting in the capacity of
principal or agent; and

 

12

 

(viii)       subject to its obligations in Section 1
hereof to protect the Holders, serve as a member of any “creditors’ board” with
respect to any Defaulted Security, Eligible Investment or with respect to any
commercial mortgage loan underlying or constituting any Collateral Debt
Security or the respective borrower for any such commercial mortgage loan.

 

It is understood that the Collateral Manager and its
Affiliates may engage in any other business, whether or not any of the
foregoing may be competitive with the business of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer
(including financing, purchasing, owning, holding, originating or disposing of
any assets or investments), and furnish investment management and advisory
services to others, including Persons that may have investment policies similar
to those followed by the Collateral Manager with respect to the Assets and that
may own instruments of the same class, or of the same type, as the Collateral
Debt Securities or other instruments of the issuers of Collateral Debt
Securities and may manage portfolios similar to the Assets.  The Collateral Manager and its Affiliates
shall be free, in their sole discretion, to make recommendations to others, or
effect transactions on behalf of themselves or for others, which may be the
same as or different from those the Collateral Manager causes the Issuer to
effect with respect to the Assets.

 

The Collateral Manager and its Affiliates may, and may
cause or advise their respective clients to, invest in assets, investments or instruments
that would be appropriate for the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or as security for
the Notes and shall have no duty or obligation to offer any such asset,
investment or instrument to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer.  Such investments may be different from those
made to or on behalf of the Issuer.  The
Collateral Manager, its Affiliates and their respective clients may have
ongoing relationships with Persons whose instruments are pledged to secure the
Notes and may own instruments issued by, or loans to, issuers of the Collateral
Debt Securities or to any borrower or Affiliate of any borrower on any
commercial mortgage loans underlying or constituting the Collateral Debt
Securities or the Eligible Investments.  The
Collateral Manager and its Affiliates may cause or advise their respective
clients to invest in instruments that are senior to, or have interests
different from or adverse to, the instruments that are pledged to secure the
Notes.

 

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the
Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates from themselves buying or selling,
or from recommending to or directing any other account to buy or sell, at any
time, securities of the same kind or class, or securities of a different kind
or class of the same issuer, as those directed by the Collateral Manager to be
purchased or sold hereunder.  It is
understood that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Collateral
Manager, its Affiliates, and any member, manager, officer, director,
stockholder or employee of the Collateral Manager or any such Affiliate or any
member of their families or a Person advised by the Collateral Manager may have
an interest in a particular transaction or in securities of the same kind or
class, or securities of a different kind or class of the same issuer, as those
purchased or sold by the Collateral Manager hereunder.  When the Collateral Manager is considering
purchases or sales for the Issuer and one or more of such other accounts at the
same time, the Collateral Manager shall allocate available investments or
opportunities for sales in its discretion and make investment recommendations
and decisions that may be the same as or different from those made with respect
to the Issuer’s investments, in accordance with applicable law and the
Collateral Manager Servicing Standard, to the extent applicable.

 

13

 

Subject to the Indenture and the provisions of this
Agreement, the Collateral Manager shall not be obligated to pursue any specific
investment strategy or opportunity that may arise with respect to the Assets.

 

The Issuer hereby acknowledges and consents to the
various potential and actual conflicts of interests that may exist with respect
to the Collateral Manager as described above; provided, however,
that nothing contained in this Section 9 shall be construed as altering
the duties of the Collateral Manager set forth in this Agreement or in the
Indenture.

 

10.                                 Records;
Confidentiality.  The Collateral
Manager shall maintain appropriate books of account and records relating to
services performed hereunder, and such books of account and records shall be
accessible for inspection by an authorized representative of the Issuer, the
Trustee and the Independent accountants appointed by the Issuer pursuant to the
Indenture at a mutually agreed-upon time during normal business hours and upon
reasonable prior notice; provided that the Collateral Manager shall not
be obligated to provide access to any non-public information if the Collateral
Manager in good faith determines that the disclosure of such information would
violate any applicable law, regulation or contractual arrangement.  The Collateral Manager shall follow its
customary procedures to keep confidential all information obtained in
connection with the services rendered hereunder and shall not disclose any such
information except (i) with the prior written consent of the Issuer (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) such information as the
Rating Agencies shall reasonably request in connection with their rating or
evaluation of the Notes and/or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, (iii) as
required by law, regulation, court order or the rules, regulations, or request
of any regulatory or self-regulating organization, body or official (including
any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed from time to time)
having jurisdiction over the Collateral Manager or as otherwise required by law
or judicial process, (iv) such information as shall have been publicly
disclosed other than in violation of this Agreement, (v) to its members,
officers, directors, and employees, and to its attorneys, accountants and other
professional advisers in conjunction with the transactions described herein, (vi) such
information as may be necessary or desirable in order for the Collateral
Manager to prepare, publish and distribute to any Person any information
relating to the investment performance of the Assets, (vii) in connection
with the enforcement of the Collateral Manager’s rights hereunder or in any
dispute or proceeding related hereto, (viii) to the Trustee, (ix) to
the extent required pursuant to any Hedge Agreement of the Issuer and (x) to
Holders and potential purchasers of any of the Securities.

 

Subject to compliance with the requirements of any
law, rule or regulation applicable to the Collateral Manager, nothing
contained herein shall prevent the Collateral Manager from discussing its
activities hereunder in a general way in the normal course of its business,
including, without limitation, general discussions with other Persons regarding
its ability to act as a collateral manager and its past performance in such
capacity.  In addition, subject to
compliance with the requirements of any law, rule or regulation applicable
to the Collateral Manager, with respect to information that the Collateral
Manager obtains or develops regarding the Collateral Debt Securities or Eligible
Investments (including, without limitation, information regarding ratings,
yield, creditworthiness, financial condition and prospects of any issuer
thereof) in connection with the performance of its services hereunder, nothing
in this Section 10 shall prevent the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates,
in the conduct of their

 

14

 

respective businesses,
from using such information or disclosing such information to others so long as
such other use does not, in its reasonable judgment, disadvantage the
Issuer.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, all persons may disclose to any and all
persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. Federal, state and local tax
treatment of the Securities and the Co-Issuers, any fact that may be relevant
to understanding the U.S. Federal, state and local tax treatment of the
Securities and the Issuers, and all materials of any kind (including opinions
or other tax analyses) relating to such U.S. Federal, state and local tax
treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment.

 

11.                                 Term.
 This Agreement shall become effective on
the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect until the first to
occur of the following:  (a) the
payment in full of the Notes and the termination of the Indenture in accordance
with its terms, (b) the liquidation of the Assets and the final
distribution of the proceeds of such liquidation to the Holders and the Issuer,
or (c) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12
hereof.

 

12.                                 Termination.  (a)  The Collateral Manager may be
removed upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice if (A) Holders of at
least 75% by Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each Class of Notes (voting
as a separate Class) and (B) Holders of at least 75% of the Preferred
Shares give written notice to the Collateral Manager, the Issuer, each Hedge
Counterparty and the Trustee of such removal (including in any such calculation
any Securities held by the Collateral Manager, any of its Affiliates or by any
fund managed or controlled by the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate thereof);
provided that if the Collateral Manager is removed pursuant to this
clause (a), any successor Collateral Manager will not be permitted to be a
Holder of or an Affiliate of any Holder of Securities.  Notice of any such removal shall be delivered
by the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer to the Holders of each Class of
Notes, the Holders of the Preferred Shares, each Rating Agency and each Hedge
Counterparty.

 

(b)                                 This
Agreement may be terminated, and the Collateral Manager may be removed, by the
Issuer or the Trustee for cause, upon 30 days’ prior written notice by the
Issuer, at the direction of (i) Holders of at least a majority by Aggregate
Outstanding Amount of each Class of Notes (excluding any Notes owned by
the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates or any fund managed or
controlled by the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate thereof, each voting as a
separate Class) and (ii) Holders of at least a Majority of the Preferred
Shares (excluding any Preferred Shares owned by the Collateral Manager or any
of its Affiliates or any fund managed or controlled by the Collateral Manager
or any Affiliate thereof); provided, however, upon the occurrence
of an event described in clause (iii) of this Section 12(b),
termination of the Collateral Manager will be automatic and without advance notice
required from the Issuer, the Trustee or any other Person.  Notice of any such removal for cause shall be
delivered by the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer to each Rating Agency, each
Hedge Counterparty and the Holders of the Notes and the Preferred Shares.  In no event will the Trustee be required to
determine whether or not cause exists for the removal of the Collateral Manager.  As used in this Section 12, “cause”
means any of the following events:

 

(i)                    the
Collateral Manager (A) willfully breaches, or takes any action that it

of such failure being given to the Collateral Manager or (B) the
Collateral Manager having actual knowledge of such breach;

 

(iii)              the Collateral Manager (A) ceases to
be able to, or admits in writing the Collateral Manager’s inability to, pay the

(iv)             the
occurrence of an act by the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates that
constitutes fraud or criminal activity in the performance of its obligations

respective officers or directors for a criminal offense involving an investment
or investment-related business, fraud, false statements or omissions, wrongful
taking of property, bribery, forgery, counterfeiting or extortion;

 

(v)                the
failure of any representation, warranty, certificate or statement of the
Collateral Manager in or pursuant to this Agreement or the Indenture to be
correct in any material respect and (x) such failure has (or could
reasonably be expected to have) a material adverse effect on the Noteholders,
the Issuer or the Co-Issuer and (y) if such failure can be cured, no
correction is made for 45 days after the Collateral Manager becomes aware of
such failure or receives notice thereof in writing from the Trustee;

 

(vi)             the
occurrence and continuation of any of the Events of Default described in
Sections 5.1(a) or 5.1(b) of the Indenture; or

amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all
its assets to, another Person and either (A) at the time of such
consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer, the resulting, surviving or
transferee Person fails to or cannot assume all the obligations of the
Collateral Manager under this Agreement, or (B) the resulting, surviving
or transferee Person lacks the legal capacity to perform the obligations of the
Collateral Manager hereunder and under the Indenture.

 

16

 

The Collateral Manager shall notify the Trustee, the Rating
Agencies and the Issuer in writing promptly upon becoming aware of any event
that constitutes cause under this Section 12(b).

 

(c)                                  The
Collateral Manager may resign, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the
Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, each Rating Agency and each Hedge
Counterparty; provided, however, that (i) no such
termination or resignation shall be effective until the date as of which a
successor Collateral Manager shall have agreed in writing to assume all of the
Collateral Manager’s duties and obligations pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the
Issuer shall use its best efforts to appoint a successor Collateral Manager to
assume such duties and obligations.  Notwithstanding
the notice required above, the Collateral Manager shall have the right to

of its duties under the Collateral Management Agreement would (i) adversely
affect (A) Gramercy Capital Corp.’s status as a REIT, (B) SL Green
Realty Corp.’s status as a REIT or (C) the Issuer’s status as a qualified
REIT subsidiary (within the meaning of Section 856(i)(2) of the Code)

has been appointed by the Issuer and has agreed in writing to assume all of the
Collateral Manager’s duties and obligations pursuant to this Agreement and (y) written
notification shall have been provided in accordance with Sections 12(a), (b) or
(c), as applicable.  The appointment of
any Replacement Manager shall be subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency
Condition and each such Replacement Manager (i) shall have demonstrated an
ability to professionally and competently perform duties similar to those
imposed upon the Collateral Manager, (ii) is legally qualified and has the
capacity to act as collateral manager, (iii) by its appointment will not
cause the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the pool of Assets to, or result in the
Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the pool of Assets becoming, an “investment company”
under the Investment Company Act, (iv) has accepted its appointment in
writing and (v) by its appointment will not cause the Issuer, the
Co-Issuer or the pool of Assets to become subject to income or withholding tax
that would not have been imposed but for such appointment.

 

(e)                                  Upon
any resignation or removal of the Collateral Manager while any of the Notes are
Outstanding, the Holders of at least a Majority of the Preferred Shares shall
have the right to instruct the Issuer to appoint an institution identified by
such Holders as Replacement Manager; provided that (i) the Issuer
provides to the Noteholders notice of such appointment and a majority by
Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each Class of Notes (excluding any Notes
owned by the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates or any fund managed or
controlled by the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate thereof, each voting as a
separate Class) does not object to such appointment within thirty (30) days, (ii) the
Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to such appointment and
(iii) the requirements set forth in Section 12(d)(i) through (v) above
have been satisfied.

 

(f)                                    In
the event that the Collateral Manager resigns pursuant to Section 12(c) or
is terminated pursuant to Sections 12(a) or (b) hereof and the
Issuer has not appointed a successor prior to the day following the termination
(or resignation) date specified in such notice, the Collateral Manager will be
entitled to propose a successor and will so appoint such proposed

 

17

 

entity as successor thirty (30)
days thereafter, unless a majority of any Class of Notes objects to such
appointment with such thirty (30) day period in which case the Controlling Class of
Notes (excluding any Notes owned by the Collateral Manager or any of its
Affiliates or any fund managed or controlled by the Collateral Manager or any
Affiliate thereof, each voting as a separate Class) will be entitled to propose
a successor and will appoint such proposed entity as successor thirty (30) days
thereafter unless a majority by Aggregate Outstanding Amount of any other Class of
Notes (excluding any Notes owned by the Collateral Manager or any of its
Affiliates or any fund managed or controlled by the Collateral Manager or any
Affiliate thereof, each voting as a separate Class) objects to such appointment
within such thirty (30) day period, in each case subject to the requirements
set forth in Section 12(d) above. 
In the event a proposed successor Collateral Manager is not appointed pursuant
to the foregoing procedures, the resigning or removed Collateral Manager may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Collateral Manager, which appointment will not require the consent of, or be
subject to the disapproval of, the Issuer, any Noteholder or any Holder of the
Preferred Shares.

 

Notwithstanding any provision contained in this
Agreement, the Indenture or otherwise, so long as the Collateral Manager
continues to perform its obligations hereunder, the Collateral Management Fee
shall continue to accrue for the benefit of the Collateral Manager until
termination of this Agreement under this Section 12 shall become effective
as set forth herein.  In addition, the
Collateral Manager shall, subject to Section 6, be entitled to
reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in cooperating with the
Replacement Manager, including in connection with the delivery of any documents
or property.  In the event that the
Collateral Manager is removed or resigns and a Replacement Manager is
appointed, such former Collateral Manager nonetheless shall be entitled to
receive payment of all unpaid Collateral Management Fees, including the Senior
Collateral Management Fee and the Subordinated Collateral Management Fee, accrued
through the effective date of the removal or resignation, to the extent that
funds are available for that purpose in accordance with the Priority of
Payments, and such payments shall rank in the Priority of Payments pari passu
with the Collateral Management Fees due to the Replacement Manager.  In addition, following the removal or
resignation of the Collateral Manager hereunder, the removed or resigning Collateral
Manager shall be granted access to the books of account and records of the Issuer
and the Trustee to the extent such removed or resigning Collateral Manager
deems necessary to confirm the proper payment of any amounts owing to such removed
or resigning Collateral Manager hereunder.

 

(g)                                 Upon
the effective date of termination of this Agreement, the Collateral Manager
shall as soon as practicable:

 

(i)                                     deliver
to the Issuer all property and documents of the Trustee or the Issuer or
otherwise relating to the Assets then in the custody of the Collateral Manager
(although the Collateral Manager may keep copies of such documents for its
records); and

 

(ii)                                  deliver
to the Trustee an accounting with respect to the books and records delivered to
the Issuer or the Replacement Manager appointed pursuant to this Section 12
hereof.

 

18

 

The Collateral Manager shall reasonably assist and
cooperate with the Trustee and the Issuer (as reasonably requested by the
Trustee or the Issuer) in the assumption of the Collateral Manager’s duties by
any Replacement Manager as provided for in this Agreement, as applicable.  Notwithstanding such termination, the
Collateral Manager shall remain liable to the extent set forth herein (but
subject to Section 13 hereof) for the Collateral Manager’s acts or
omissions hereunder arising prior to its termination as Collateral Manager
hereunder and for any expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges
and claims (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in respect of or arising out
of a breach of the representations and warranties made by it in Section 5
hereof or from any failure of the Collateral Manager to comply with the
provisions of this Section 12(g).

 

(h)                                 The
Collateral Manager agrees that, notwithstanding any termination, the Collateral
Manager shall reasonably cooperate in any Proceeding arising in connection with
this Agreement, the Indenture or any of the Assets (excluding any such
Proceeding in which claims are asserted against the Collateral Manager or any
Affiliate of the Collateral Manager) so long as the Collateral Manager shall
have been offered (in its judgment) reasonable security, indemnity or other
provision against the cost, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred in
connection therewith, but, in any event, shall not be required to make any
admission or to take any action against the Collateral Manager’s own interests
or the interests of other funds and accounts advised by the Collateral Manager.

 

(i)                                     If
this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 12(a), (b) or (c) hereof,
such termination shall be without any further liability or obligation of the
Issuer or the Collateral Manager to the other, except as provided in Sections
6, 7, 12 and 13 and the last sentence of Section 10 hereof.

 

(j)                                     Upon
expiration of the applicable notice period with respect to termination
specified in Section 12(d) hereof, all authority and power of the
Collateral Manager under this Agreement and the Indenture, whether with respect
to the Assets or otherwise, shall automatically and without further action by
any person or entity pass to and be vested in the Replacement Manager.

 

13.                                 Liability
of Collateral Manager.  (a)  The
Collateral Manager assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to
render the services called for from the Collateral Manager hereunder and under
the Indenture in the manner prescribed herein and therein.  The Collateral Manager and its Affiliates,
and each of their respective partners, shareholders, members, managers,
officers, directors, employees, agents, accountants and attorneys shall have no
liability to the Noteholders, the Holders of the Preferred Shares, the Trustee,
the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, any Hedge Counterparty, the Initial Purchaser, or
any of their respective Affiliates, partners, shareholders, officers,
directors, employees, agents, accountants and attorneys, or any other Person, for
any error of judgment, mistake of law, or for any claim, loss, liability,
damage, settlement, costs, or other expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and court costs) of any nature whatsoever (collectively “Liabilities”) that
arise out of or in connection with any act or omissions of the Collateral
Manager in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or the Indenture
or for any decrease in the value of the Collateral Debt Securities or Eligible
Investments, (i) except by reason of acts or omissions constituting bad
faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of, or
reckless disregard of, the

 

19

 

duties of the Collateral
Manager hereunder and under the terms of the Indenture and (ii) with
respect to the information concerning the Collateral Manager under the heading “The
Collateral Manager” in the Offering Memorandum containing any untrue statement
of material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.  The Issuer
agrees that the Collateral Manager shall not be liable for any consequential,
special, exemplary or punitive damages hereunder.  The acts, failure to act or breaches
described in this clause (a) are collectively referred to for purposes of
this Section 13 as “Collateral Manager Breaches.”

 

(b)                                 The
Collateral Manager shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer and
each of its partners, shareholders, members, managers, officers, directors,
employees, agents, accountants and attorneys (each, an “Issuer Indemnified Party”)
from and against any claims that may be made against an Issuer Indemnified
Party by third parties and any damages, losses, claims, liabilities, costs or
expenses (including all reasonable legal and other expenses) which are incurred
as a direct consequence of the Collateral Manager Breaches, except for
liability to which such Issuer Indemnified Party would be subject by reason of
willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence in the performance of, or
reckless disregard of the obligations of the Issuer hereunder and under the
terms of the Indenture.

 

(c)                                  The
Issuer shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Manager, its
members, managers, directors, officers, stockholders, partners, agents and
employees and any Affiliate of the Collateral Manager and its directors,
officers, stockholders, partners, members, agents and employees (the Collateral
Manager and such other persons collectively, the “Collateral Manager Indemnified Parties”) from any
and all Liabilities, as are incurred in investigating, preparing, pursuing or
defending any claim, action, proceeding or investigation (whether or not such
Collateral Manager Indemnified Party is a party) caused by, or arising out of
or in connection with this Agreement, the Indenture and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, including the issuance of the Notes, or any
acts or omissions of any Collateral Manager Indemnified Parties except those
that are the result of Collateral Manager Breaches.  Any amounts payable by the Issuer under this Section 13(c) shall
be payable only subject to the Priority of Payments set forth in the Indenture
and to the extent Assets are available therefor.

 

(d)                                 With
respect to any claim made or threatened against an Issuer Indemnified Party or
a Collateral Manager Indemnified Party (each an “Indemnified Party”), or compulsory process or
request or other notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability served upon an
Indemnified Party, for which such Indemnified Party is or may be entitled to
indemnification under this Section 13, such Indemnified Party shall (or,
with respect to Indemnified Parties that are directors, managers, officers,
stockholders, members, managers, agents or employees of the Issuer or the
Collateral Manager, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, as the case may be,
shall cause such Indemnified Party to):

 

(i)                                     give
written notice to the indemnifying party of such claim within ten Business Days
after such Indemnified Party’s receipt of actual notice that such claim is made
or threatened, which notice to the indemnifying party shall specify in
reasonable detail the nature of the claim and the amount (or an estimate of the
amount) of the claim; provided, however, that the failure of any
Indemnified Party to provide such notice to the

 

20

 

indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its
obligations under this Section 13 unless the rights or defenses available
to the Indemnified Party are materially prejudiced or otherwise forfeited by
reason of such failure;

 

(ii)                                  at
the indemnifying party’s expense, provide the indemnifying party such
information and cooperation with respect to such claim as the indemnifying
party may reasonably require, including making appropriate personnel available
to the indemnifying party at such reasonable times as the indemnifying party
may request;

 

(iii)                               at the indemnifying
party’s expense, cooperate and take all such steps as the indemnifying party
may reasonably request to preserve and protect any defense to such claim;

 

(iv)                              in
the event suit is brought with respect to such claim, upon reasonable prior
notice, afford to the indemnifying party the right, which the indemnifying
party may exercise in its sole discretion and at its expense, to participate in
the investigation, defense and settlement of such claim;

 

(v)                                 neither
incur any material expense to defend against nor release or settle any such
claim or make any admission with respect thereto (other than routine or
incontestable admissions or factual admissions the failure to make of which
would expose such Indemnified Party to unindemnified liability) nor permit a
default or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof, in each
case without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party; and

 

(vi)                              upon
reasonable prior notice, afford to the indemnifying party the right, in such
party’s sole discretion and at such party’s sole expense, to assume the defense
of such claim, including the right to designate counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Indemnified Party and to control all negotiations, litigation, arbitration,
settlements, compromises and appeals of such claim; provided that, if
the indemnifying party assumes the defense of such claim, it shall not be
liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for any Indemnified Party incurred
thereafter in connection with such claim except that, if such Indemnified Party
reasonably determines that counsel designated by the indemnifying party has a
conflict of interest, such indemnifying party shall pay the reasonable fees and
disbursements of one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from
such indemnifying party’s own counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection
with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances; and provided,
further, that the indemnifying party shall not have the right, without
the Indemnified Party’s written consent, to settle any such claim if, in a case
where the Issuer is the indemnifying party, the Issuer does not make available
(in accordance with the Priority of Payments), in a segregated account
available only for this purpose, the full amount required to pay any amounts
due from the Indemnified Party under such settlement or, in any case, such
settlement (A) arises from or is part of any criminal action, suit or
proceeding, (B) contains a stipulation to, confession of judgment with
respect to, or admission or acknowledgement of, any liability or wrongdoing on
the part of the Indemnified Party, (C) relates to any Federal, state or
local tax matters or (D) provides

 

21

 

for injunctive relief, or other relief other than damages, which is
binding on the Indemnified Party.

 

(e)                                  In
the event that any Indemnified Party waives its right to indemnification
hereunder, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to appoint counsel to
represent such Indemnified Party nor shall the indemnifying party reimburse
such Indemnified Party for any costs of counsel to such Indemnified Party.

 

(f)                                    Nothing
herein shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights that
the Issuer or the Collateral Manager may have under any United States Federal
or state securities laws.

 

14.                                 Obligations
of Collateral Manager.  (a) The
Collateral Manager to the extent required under the Indenture, and on behalf of
the Issuer, shall:  (i) engage the
services of an Independent certified accountant to prepare any United States
Federal, state or local income tax or information returns and any non-United
States income tax or information returns that the Issuer may from time to time
be required to file under applicable law (each a “Tax Return”), (ii) deliver, at least 30 days
before any applicable due date upon which penalties and interest would accrue,
each Tax Return, properly completed, to the Company Administrator for signature
by an Authorized Officer of the Issuer and (iii) file or deliver such Tax
Return on behalf of the Issuer within any applicable time limit with any
authority or Person as required under applicable law.

 

(b)                                 Unless
otherwise required by any provision of the Indenture or this Agreement or by
applicable law, the Collateral Manager shall not take any action which it
knows, or acting with gross negligence, would (a) materially adversely
affect the Issuer for purposes of United States federal or state law or any
other law known to the Collateral Manager to be applicable to the Issuer, (b) not
be permitted under the Issuer’s Memorandum and Articles of Association or the
Co-Issuer’s limited liability company agreement, (c) require registration of
the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Assets as an “investment company” under the
Investment Company Act or (d) cause the Issuer to violate the terms of the
Indenture, it being understood that in connection with the foregoing the
Collateral Manager will not be required to make any independent investigation
of any facts or laws not otherwise known to it in connection with its
obligations under this Agreement and the Indenture or the conduct of its
business generally.  The Collateral
Manager will perform its duties under this Agreement and the Indenture in a
manner reasonably intended not to subject the Issuer to U.S. federal or state
income taxation, it being understood that, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein or in the Indenture, the Collateral Manager shall be
deemed to have complied with the requirements of the Indenture and any
certifications, certificates or other related documents required pursuant to
the Indenture if it satisfies the requirements set forth in this sentence and
will not be liable to the Trustee, the Holders of the Notes, the Co-Issuers,
the Co-Issuers’ creditors or any other Person as a result of the Issuer
engaging, or a determination that the Issuer has engaged, in a U.S. trade or
business for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 
The Collateral Manager shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to
ensure that no action is taken by it, and shall not intentionally or with
reckless disregard take any action, which the Collateral Manager knows or
reasonably should know would have a materially adverse United States federal or
state income tax effect on the Issuer.

 

22

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates
may take any action that is not specifically prohibited by the Indenture, this
Agreement or applicable law that the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate of the
Collateral Managers deems to be in its (or in its portfolio’s) best interest
regardless of its impact on the Collateral Debt Securities.

 

15.                                 No
Partnership or Joint Venture.  The
Issuer and the Collateral Manager are not partners or joint venturers with each
other, and nothing herein shall be construed to make them such partners or
joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them.  The Collateral Manager’s relation to the
Issuer shall be that of an independent contractor and not a general agent.  Except as expressly provided in this
Agreement and in the Indenture, the Collateral Manager shall not have authority
to act for or represent the Issuer in any way and shall not otherwise be deemed
to be the Issuer’s agent.

 

16.                                 Notices.
 Any notice from a party under this
Agreement shall be in writing and sent by answer-back facsimile or addressed
and delivered or sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested or sent by overnight courier service guaranteeing next day delivery
to the other party at such address as such other party may designate for the
receipt of such notice.  Until further
notice to the other party, it is agreed that the address of the Issuer for this
purpose shall be:

17.                                 Succession;
Assignment.  (a)  This Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors to the parties
hereto. No assignment of this Agreement shall be made without the consent of
the other party except as set forth below and without satisfaction of the
Rating Agency Condition (except as permitted under clauses (b) and (c) below),
provided that the Issuer may collaterally assign its interest in this
Agreement to the Trustee under the Indenture.

 

(b)                                 Upon
satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, this Agreement may be assigned by
the Collateral Manager to an Affiliate thereof that has substantially the same
personnel, or personnel with comparable expertise, as the Collateral Manager
and that is capable of performing the obligations of the Collateral Manager
under this Agreement; provided that satisfaction of the Rating Agency
Condition shall not be required in connection with any assignment involving an
internalization of the Collateral Manager or any assignment to a successor upon
merger or acquisition.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Collateral Manager shall provide S&P with prompt notice
of any assignment involving an internalization of the Collateral Manager.

 

(c)                                  This
Agreement may be assigned by the Collateral Manager to any Person other than an
Affiliate only upon satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition and approval by
a Majority of the Controlling Class.

 

(d)                                 Upon
the execution and delivery of a counterpart by the assignee, the Collateral
Manager shall be released from further obligations pursuant to this Agreement,
except with respect to the Collateral Manager’s obligations arising under Section 13
of this Agreement prior to such assignment and except with respect to the
Collateral Manager’s obligations under the last sentence of Section 10 and
Sections 7 and 12 hereof

 

18.                                 No
Bankruptcy Petition/Limited Recourse.  The Collateral Manager covenants and agrees
that, prior to the date that is one year and one day (or, if longer, the
applicable preference period then in effect) after the payment in full of all
Notes issued by the Issuer under the Indenture, the Collateral Manager will not
institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer
or the Co-Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar law; provided, however, that nothing in
this Section 18 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Collateral
Manager 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, as the case may be, or (y) any
involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced against the Issuer or the
Co-Issuer, as the case may be, by a Person other than the Collateral Manager.  The Collateral Manager hereby acknowledges
and agrees that the Issuer’s obligations hereunder will be solely the corporate
obligations of the Issuer, and the Collateral Manager will not have recourse to
any of the directors, officers, employees, shareholders or affiliates of the
Issuer, or any members of the Advisory Committee, with respect to any claims,
losses, damages, liabilities, indemnities or other obligations in connection
with any transaction contemplated hereby. 
Notwithstanding any provision hereof, all obligations of the Issuer and
any claims arising from this Agreement or any transactions contemplated by this
Agreement shall be limited solely to the Collateral Debt Securities and the
other Assets and

 

24

 

payable in accordance with the
Priority of Payments.  If payments on any
such claims from the Assets are insufficient, no other assets shall be
available for payment of the deficiency and, following liquidation of all the
Assets, any claims of the Collateral Manager arising from this Agreement and
the obligations of the Issuer to pay such deficiencies shall be extinguished.  The Issuer hereby acknowledges and agrees
that the Collateral Manager’s obligations hereunder shall be solely the limited
liability company obligations of the Collateral Manager, and the Issuer shall
not have any recourse to any of the members, managers, directors, officers,
employees, shareholders or Affiliates of the Collateral Manager with respect to
any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, indemnities or other obligations in
connection with any transactions contemplated hereby.

 

19.                                 Miscellaneous.  (a)  This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.  With respect to any suit, action or proceedings
relating to this Agreement (“Proceedings”),
each party irrevocably (i) submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the
courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court located in
the Borough of Manhattan in New York City and (ii) waives any objection
that such party may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings
brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been
brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect
to such Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such
party.  Nothing in this Agreement
precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, nor
shall the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the
bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction.  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 the Collateral Manager at the
office of the Collateral Manager, c/o SL Green Realty Corp., 420 Lexington
Avenue, 19th Floor, New York, New York 10170, Attention:  Andrew Levine, or such other address as the
Collateral Manager may advise the Issuer in writing.  The 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 CT Corporation System at 111 8th
Avenue, New York, New York 10011 (and any successor entity), as its authorized agent
to receive and forward on its behalf service of any and all process which may
be served in any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court and agrees
that service of process upon CT Corporation System shall be deemed in every
respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or
proceeding and shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon it.  Each party hereto 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.

 

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

(b)                                 The
captions in this Agreement are included for convenience only and in no way
define or limit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their
construction or effect.

 

25

 

(c)                                  In
the event any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or
unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision hereof.

 

(d)                                 This
Agreement (including Exhibit A attached hereto) may not be amended
or modified or any provision thereof waived (i) except by an instrument in
writing signed by both of the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by
the party waiving compliance and (ii) in each case, in compliance with Section 15.1(f) of
the Indenture, including with respect to satisfaction of the Rating Agency
Condition.  This Agreement (including Exhibit A
attached hereto) may be modified without the prior written consent of the Trustee,
any Hedge Counterparty or the holders of Notes to correct any inconsistency or
cure any ambiguity or mistake.  Any other
amendment of this Agreement (including Exhibit A attached hereto) shall
require the prior written consent of the Trustee and each Hedge Counterparty,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and is subject to the
satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition.

 

(e)                                  This
Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the
parties hereto and supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous
understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties
hereto concerning this subject matter (other than the Indenture).

 

(f)                                    In
the event the Issuer acquires the Mayacama Loan after the Closing Date, the Collateral
Manager agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts, on behalf of the Issuer,
to appoint GMACCMC as the primary servicer for the Mayacama Loan to the extent
it has discretion to do so in accordance with the related Underlying
Instruments.

 

(g)                                 The
Collateral Manager hereby agrees and consents to the terms of Section 15.1(f) of
the Indenture applicable to the Collateral Manager and shall perform any
provisions of the Indenture made applicable to the Collateral Manager by the
Indenture as required by Section 15.1(f) of the Indenture.

 

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

 

(i)                                     The
words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by
the phrase “but not limited to.”

 

(j)                                     Subject
to the last sentence of the penultimate paragraph of Section 1 hereof, in
the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture,
including with respect to the obligations of the Collateral Manager hereunder
and thereunder, the terms of this Agreement shall be controlling.

 

(k)                                  No
failure or delay on the part of any party hereto to exercise any right or
remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no waiver
shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party granting
such waiver.

 

26

 

(l)                                     This
Agreement is made solely for the benefit of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager
and the Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, the Holders of Preferred Shares
and each Hedge Counterparty, their successors and assigns, and no other person
shall have any right, benefit or interest under or because of this Agreement.

 

(m)                               The
Collateral Manager hereby irrevocably waives any rights it may have to set off
against the Assets.

1.                                       General.

 

If
the Collateral Manager desires to direct a trade between the Issuer and the
Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates, acting as principal (other than
with respect to Credit Risk/Defaulted Security Cash Purchases, sales of
property or securities in accordance with the Origination Agreement and
sales of Assets pursuant to an auction in connection with an Auction Call
Redemption or in connection with a redemption of the Notes pursuant to Article 9
of the Indenture, none of which
shall require the approval of the Advisory Committee) (each such trade, a “Restricted
Transaction”), before effecting such trade, it shall first present such
Restricted Transaction to the Advisory Committee for review and prior approval.

 

2.                                       Composition of the Advisory Committee.

 

The
Advisory Committee must be comprised of at least one person (which may be an
individual or an entity), who is Independent (as defined in the Indenture) of
the Collateral Manager (each such person, an “Independent Member”), who
acts as a surrogate for, and in the best interest of, the holders of the
Securities.

 

The
Advisory Committee also may have one or more members appointed by the
Collateral Manager and employed by the Collateral Manager or an Affiliate
thereof (each such person, an “Affiliated Member”).

 

3.                                       Requisite Experience.

 

Each
member of the Advisory Committee must at the time of appointment and at all
relevant times thereafter have Requisite Experience.

 

The
Collateral Manager and the Issuer will have the right to accept a
representation and warranty from a member regarding its Requisite Experience,
in the absence of actual knowledge by a responsible officer of the Collateral
Manager to the contrary.

 

“Requisite
Experience” means experience as a sophisticated investor, including,
without limitation, in fixed income investing (directly and/or through
investment vehicles) and/or substantial experience and knowledge in and of the
commercial real estate loan market and related investment arenas, such that the
relevant Advisory Committee member believes that it is capable of determining whether
or not to participate in Advisory Committee decisions on the basis of the
provisions described herein.  Such person
need not be a professional loan investor or loan originator.

 

A-1

 

4.                                       Appointment of Initial Members of the
Advisory Committee.

 

The
initial members of the Advisory Committee will be appointed by the Collateral
Manager.  Thereafter the Collateral
Manager will have the right to appoint a member to replace any member that
resigns.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event of a resignation of the Independent Member, a replacement Independent
Member may be appointed by the Issuer if the Collateral Manager does not promptly
appoint a replacement Independent Member.

 

5.                                       Term.

 

Each
member of the Advisory Committee will serve until it resigns, dies or is
removed.

 

6.                                       Approval Process.

 

If
the Collateral Manager wants the Issuer to consider a Restricted Transaction,
the Collateral Manager will give notice of the proposed Restricted Transaction
to the members of the Advisory Committee. 
The notice will contain the request by the Collateral Manager for the
Advisory Committee’s consent to the Restricted Transaction.  The notice will be accompanied by:

 

•                  an investment memorandum; and

 

•                  an underwriting analysis.

 

The
investment memorandum will (a) be a reasonably detailed (anticipated to be
approximately two pages) description of the proposed investment, the issuer
thereof and related information and (b) include information about the
identity of any Affiliated Person involved in the proposed investment and the
capacity in which it will be acting and a narrative about why, in the judgment
of the Collateral Manager, the investment is appropriate to be purchased or
sold by the Issuer, as the case may be. 
The notice will contain the Collateral Manager’s offer to provide
additional information as requested to the Advisory Committee.

 

7.                                       Unanimous Written Consent.

 

Regardless
of the composition of the Advisory Committee, each Restricted Transaction must
be approved in writing by each member of the Advisory Committee.

 

The
members of the Advisory Committee are under no obligation to consent to a
Restricted Transaction.

 

•                  If all of the members of the Advisory
Committee approve a Restricted Transaction in writing, the Issuer will effect
it at the option of the Collateral Manager (subject to the others terms of this
Agreement and the Indenture).

 

•                  If the members of the Advisory Committee
notify the Collateral Manager that the Advisory Committee will not approve the
Restricted Transaction, the Issuer will not effect the Restricted Transaction.

 

A-2

 

If
at any time the Advisory Committee does not have at least one Independent
Member or any member does not have Requisite Experience, the Collateral Manager
will not be permitted to use the Advisory Committee to approve any Restricted
Transaction.

 

8.                                       Compensation.

 

Each
Independent Member shall receive arm’s length compensation by the Issuer for
serving on the Advisory Committee as agreed between such member and the Issuer.

Additional Advisory
Committee Guidelines

 

Independent Member

 

1.                                       Independent Member Duties.

 

As
an Independent Member of the Advisory Committee, the Member shall:

 

(a)                                  serve on the Advisory Committee and attend
meetings of the Advisory Committee at such times and places (and/or
telephonically or by correspondence or otherwise) as shall be reasonably
requested by the Issuer and the Collateral Manager;

 

(b)                                 promptly consider certain actions to be taken
with respect to certain Restricted Transactions presented by the Collateral
Manager (as further described in the Advisory Committee Guidelines);

 

(c)                                  in connection with considering Restricted
Transactions, promptly review and consider investment memoranda, underwriting
analyses and other information presented to the Member on behalf of the Issuer
to the Advisory Committee in connection with the foregoing; and

 

(d)                                 take such other actions as may be reasonably
necessary or advisable in connection with the foregoing;

 

provided, however,
that (i) if the Member believes that the Member or an Affiliate thereof,
or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders,
partners, members or managers, has an interest in any Restricted Transaction,
the Member shall promptly disclose such interest to the Issuer and the
Collateral Manager and shall recuse himself from any consideration of such
Restricted Transaction (in each case unless the Collateral Manager and each
other member of the Advisory Committee (assuming that at least one such member
of the Advisory Committee is an Independent Member and is not affiliated with
the Restricted Transaction at issue) shall determine that such interest does
not create a disabling conflict) and (ii) if the Member believes that,
because of an actual or potential conflict of interest relating to a Restricted
Transaction, it would be inappropriate or inadvisable for the Member to receive
any Confidential Information (as defined in Paragraph 8 of this Exhibit B-1),
the Member shall recuse himself from any consideration of such Restricted
Transaction.

 

2.                                       Representations and Warranties.

 

The
Member, by its execution of an Advisory Committee Member Acknowledgement and
Agreement (the “Acknowledgment and Agreement”), will be deemed to
represent and warrant that:

 

(a)                                  the Member is Independent of the Collateral
Manager (including, for this purpose, an employee, partner, member or director
thereof); and

 

B-1-1

 

(b)                                 the Member has the Requisite Experience (as
set forth in the Advisory Committee Guidelines).

 

If
the representations and warranties set forth in this Paragraph 2 shall at any
time fail to be true and correct, the Member shall promptly notify the Issuer
and the Collateral Manager of that fact and shall immediately resign from the
Advisory Committee.

 

3.                                       Compensation.

 

During
the Term (as defined in Paragraph 7 of this Exhibit B-1), the Issuer shall
pay the Member a per annum fee (the “Fee”) at a rate to be established
between the Collateral Manager and the Member, payable on each Payment Date (as
defined in the Indenture), subject to the Priority of Payments (as defined in
the Indenture).  The Fee payable on any
specified Payment Date (as defined in the Indenture) shall accrue during each
period from and including the preceding Payment Date (or, with respect to the
first payment, from and including the date hereof) to but excluding such
specified Payment Date (or, if earlier, to but excluding the last day of the
Term), calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year
of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. 
If any Fee is not paid when due as a result of lack of available funds
under the Priority of Payments, such Fee shall be deferred and shall be payable
on subsequent Payment Dates in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

 

The
Issuer shall reimburse the Member, promptly after demand therefor accompanied
by reasonable supporting documentation, for any reasonable authorized expenses
incurred in connection with any meetings of or actions by the Advisory
Committee.

 

4.                                       Exculpation and Indemnification.

 

(a)                                  The Member shall not be liable to the Issuer,
the Co-Issuer, any holder of the Notes, any holder of the Preferred Shares, any
holder of ordinary shares of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager (i) for
any losses incurred as a result of the actions taken or omitted to be taken by
the Member pursuant to the provisions of this Exhibit B-1 or the Advisory
Committee Guidelines, except that the Member may be so liable to the extent
such losses are the result of acts or omissions constituting willful
misconduct, fraud or gross negligence by the Member in the performance of its
obligations hereunder or under the Advisory Committee Guidelines or (ii) for
the acts or omissions of any other member of the Advisory Committee.

 

(b)                                 The Issuer shall indemnify the Member for,
and hold the Member harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including
without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred arising
out of or in connection with the Member’s service as a member of the Advisory
Committee, including the costs and expenses of defense against any claim or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers
or duties hereunder (collectively, “Losses”); provided, however,
that the Issuer shall not indemnify the Member for any Losses incurred as a
result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct, fraud or gross
negligence by the Member in the performance of its obligations hereunder or
under the Advisory Committee Guidelines.

 

B-1-2

 

(c)                                  If any action shall be instituted involving
the Member for which indemnification hereunder may be applicable, such Member
shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Collateral Manager in writing and the
Issuer shall have the right to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Issuer and the Collateral Manager to represent the Member and any others the
Issuer may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and
disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding.  In any such proceeding, the Member shall have
the right to retain individual counsel, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of the Member unless (i) the Issuer and
the Member shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the
named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include
the Member and the Issuer and representation of all such parties by the same
counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between them.  It is understood that the
Issuer shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in
the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Member and any other
members of the Advisory Committee, and that all such reasonable fees and expenses
shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. 
The Issuer shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Issuer agrees, subject to the
limitations noted herein, to indemnify the Member from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  The Issuer shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Member, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which the Member is or is likely to have
been a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the
Member from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any person shall pay the Member any amount of indemnification
pursuant to this Paragraph 4, such person shall succeed to the rights of the
Issuer, to the exclusion of the Issuer, set forth in this Paragraph 4(c) (including,
but not limited to, the right of the Issuer to retain counsel to represent the
Member in any related proceeding and to effect any settlement of any related
pending or threatened proceeding).

 

5.                                       Notices.

 

All
notices, requests, consents, approvals and other communications required or
permitted to be given or delivered hereunder shall be in writing (which shall
include notice by telecopy or like transmission) and shall be deemed to have
been given when delivered personally against receipt, upon receipt of a

be effective immediately.  The Collateral
Manager shall have the right to appoint an Independent Member to replace any
Independent Member that resigns.

 

(c)                                  The holders of 66 2/3%, by outstanding
principal amount, of each Class of Notes voting as a separate Class (excluding
any Notes held by the Collateral Manager, any of its Affiliates or any funds
(other than the Issuer) managed by the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates)
shall have the right to remove the Member for “cause.”  For this purpose, “cause” shall mean:  (i) the Member’s breach of any material
provisions hereof and its failure to cure such breach within ninety (90) days
after the first to occur of (x) notice of such failure is given to the Member
and (y) the Member has actual knowledge of such breach; (ii) an act by the
Member that constitutes fraud or criminal activity in the performance of its
obligations hereunder or the Member is

 

B-1-4

 

indicted
of a felony offense or other crime involving an investment or

taking of property, bribery, forgery, counterfeiting or extortion, in a court
of competent jurisdiction (including the entry of a guilty or nolo contendere
plea) or (iii) the Member becomes affiliated with the Collateral Manager
or any affiliate of the Collateral Manager.

 

(d)                                 The Member also shall be subject to immediate

Restricted Transaction within five business days after such notice.

 

If
the Member’s Term is terminated pursuant to this Paragraph 7, such termination
shall be without any further liability or obligation of either party to the other,
except that any liability or obligation of either party under Paragraph 3 or 4
shall survive the termination of such Member.

 

8.                                       Confidentiality.  The
Member may receive certain information from the Collateral Manager and/or the
Issuer in connection with its service as a member of the Advisory
Committee.  The Member agrees, as set
forth in this Paragraph 10, to treat confidentially any Confidential Material
(as defined below).

 

(a)                                  “Confidential Material” means any
non-public, confidential or proprietary information that is or has been
provided by the Collateral Manager or the Issuer to the Member or the Member’s
employees, attorneys, accountants, advisors or other authorized representatives
(collectively, “Representatives”) in connection with the Member’s
service on the Advisory Committee, regardless of the form in which such
information is communicated or maintained, and all notes, reports, analyses,
compilations, studies, files or other documents or material, whether prepared
by the Member or others, which are based on, contain or otherwise reflect such
information.  However, “Confidential
Material” does not include any information that (i) at the time of
disclosure or thereafter is generally available to and known by the public
(other than as a result of a disclosure in violation of this Paragraph 10
directly or indirectly by the Member or the Member’s Representatives), (ii) was
available to the Member on a non-confidential basis from a source other than
the Collateral Manager or the Issuer or its advisors, or (iii) was
independently acquired or developed by the Member without violating any
provision of this Paragraph 10.

 

(b)                                 The Member agrees that all Confidential
Material shall be kept confidential by the Member and, except with the specific
prior written consent of the Issuer and the Collateral Manager or as expressly
otherwise permitted by the terms hereof, will not be disclosed by the Member to
any person, other than any of the Member’s Representatives that need to know
such information solely for the purpose of the Member’s service on the Advisory
Committee (it being understood that, before disclosing the Confidential
Material or any portion thereof to such Representatives, the Member shall
inform such Representatives of the confidential nature of the Confidential
Material and the restrictions related thereto). 
The Member agrees to be responsible

 

B-1-5

 

for
any breach of this Paragraph 10 by the Member’s Representatives. The Member
further agrees that the Member shall not use Confidential Material for any
reason or purpose other than in connection with its service on the Advisory
Committee.  In addition, without the
prior written consent of the Issuer and the Collateral Manager, the Member
agrees not to disclose to any person, other than the Member’s Representatives
that need to know such information in connection with the Member’s service on
the Advisory Committee, the fact that Confidential Material has been made
available to the Member or that the Member is considering any investment
presented to it by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer.

 

(c)                                  If the Member is requested or required, by
oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents,
subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process, to disclose
Confidential Material, the Member shall provide the Issuer and the Collateral
Manager with prompt notice of such event so that the Issuer and/or the
Collateral Manager may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or
waive compliance with the applicable provisions of this Paragraph 10 by the
Member.  If the Issuer or the Collateral
Manager determines to seek such protective order or other remedy, the Member
shall cooperate with the Issuer or the Collateral Manager in seeking such
protective order or other remedy. If neither the Issuer nor the Collateral
Manager is able to seek such protective order or other remedy, the Member shall
seek it as directed by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager.  If such protective order or other remedy is
not obtained and disclosure of Confidential Material is required, or the Issuer
grants a waiver hereunder, the Member (i) may furnish that portion (and
only that portion) of the Confidential Material which the Member is legally
required to disclose and (ii) will exercise reasonable best efforts to
have confidential treatment afforded any Confidential Material so furnished.

 

(d)                                 Upon the termination hereof or upon the
written request of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager at any time, the Member
shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Issuer or the Collateral
Manager or to a person designated by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager (or
will destroy, with such destruction to be certified to the Issuer and the
Collateral Manager) all documents or other matter furnished to the Member by or
on behalf of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager constituting Confidential
Material, together with all copies thereof in the possession of the
Member.  In such event, all other
documents or other matter constituting Confidential Material prepared by the
Member will be destroyed, with any such destruction certified to the Issuer and
the Collateral Manager.

 

9.                                       Limited Recourse.

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision hereof, the Member acknowledges and agrees that he shall
have recourse only to the Assets in respect of any claim, action, demand or
right arising in respect of, or against, the Issuer and following realization
of the Assets, any claims of the Member against the Issuer shall be extinguished
and shall not thereafter revive. 
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or in the Indenture, no
member of the Advisory Committee or any Affiliate thereof shall be personally
liable to the Member for any amounts payable, or performance due, by the Issuer
hereunder.  This provision shall survive
termination of the Term.

 

B-1-6

 

10.                                 Non-Petition.

 

The
Member agrees that, before the date that is one year and one day after the
payment in full of all Notes, or if longer, the expiration of the then
applicable preference period plus one day, the Member shall not acquiesce,
petition, join any other Person in any petition or otherwise invoke or cause
any other Person to invoke the process of any governmental authority for the
purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Issuer under any federal
or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law of any jurisdiction or
appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator
or other similar official of the Issuer or any substantial part of its property
or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer.  This provision shall survive termination of
the Term.

 

11.                                 Amendments.

 

The
provisions of this Exhibit B-1 may be amended only by an instrument in
writing signed by the Issuer and the Member and consented to by the Collateral
Manager.

 

12.                                 Third Parties.

 

Nothing
herein, expressed or implied, shall give to any person, other than the Issuer,
the Member and the Collateral Manager, any benefit or any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim hereunder.

 

13.                                 Third Party Beneficiary.

 

Each
of the Issuer and the Member agrees that the Collateral Manager is, and that it
is intended that the Collateral Manager be afforded all the benefits of, an
express third-party beneficiary in respect of the provisions hereof.

Additional Advisory
Committee Guidelines

 

Affiliated Member

 

1.                                       Affiliated Member Duties.

 

As
an Affiliated Member of the Advisory Committee, the Member shall:

 

(a)                                  serve on the Advisory Committee and attend
meetings of the Advisory Committee at such times and places (and/or
telephonically or by correspondence or otherwise) as shall be reasonably requested
by the Issuer and the Collateral Manager;

 

(b)                                 promptly consider certain actions to be taken
with respect to certain Restricted Transactions presented by the Collateral
Manager (as further described in the Advisory Committee Guidelines);

 

(c)                                  in connection with considering Restricted
Transactions, promptly review and consider investment memoranda, underwriting
analyses and other information presented to the Member on behalf of the Issuer
to the Advisory Committee in connection with the foregoing; and

 

(d)                                 take such other actions as may be reasonably
necessary or advisable in connection with the foregoing;

 

provided, however,
that (i) if the Member believes that the Member or an Affiliate thereof,
or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders,
partners, members or managers, has an interest in any Restricted Transaction,
the Member shall promptly disclose such interest to the Issuer and the
Collateral Manager and shall recuse himself from any consideration of such
Restricted Transaction (in each case unless the Collateral Manager and each
other member of the Advisory Committee (assuming that at least one such member
of the Advisory Committee is an Independent Member and is not affiliated with
the Restricted Transaction at issue) shall determine that such interest does
not create a disabling conflict) and (ii) if the Member believes that,
because of an actual or potential conflict of interest relating to a Restricted
Transaction, it would be inappropriate or inadvisable for the Member to receive
any confidential information related to such Restricted Transaction, the Member
shall recuse himself from any consideration of such Restricted Transaction.

 

2.                                       Representations and Warranties.

 

The
Member, by its execution of an Advisory Committee Member Acknowledgement and
Agreement (the “Acknowledgment and Agreement”), will be deemed to
represent and warrant that the Member has the Requisite Experience (as set
forth in the Advisory Committee Guidelines).

 

B-2-1

 

If
the representations and warranties set forth in this Paragraph 2 shall at any
time fail to be true and correct, the Member shall promptly notify the Issuer
and the Collateral Manager of that fact and shall immediately resign from the
Advisory Committee.

 

3.                                       Exculpation and Indemnification.

 

(a)                                  The Member shall not be liable to the Issuer,
the Co-Issuer, any holder of the Notes, any holder of the Preferred Shares, any
holder of ordinary shares of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager (i) for
any losses incurred as a result of the actions taken or omitted to be taken by
the Member pursuant to the provisions of this Exhibit B-2 or the Advisory
Committee Guidelines, except that the Member may be so liable to the extent
such losses are the result of acts or omissions constituting willful
misconduct, fraud or gross negligence by the Member in the performance of its
obligations hereunder or under the Advisory Committee Guidelines or (ii) for
the acts or omissions of any other member of the Advisory Committee.

 

(b)                                 The Issuer shall indemnify the Member for,
and hold the Member harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including
without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred arising
out of or in connection with the Member’s service as a member of the Advisory
Committee, including the costs and expenses of defense against any claim or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers
or duties hereunder (collectively, “Losses”); provided, however,
that the Issuer shall not indemnify the Member for any Losses incurred as a
result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct, fraud or gross
negligence by the Member in the performance of its obligations hereunder or
under the Advisory Committee Guidelines.

 

(c)                                  If any action shall be instituted involving
the Member for which indemnification hereunder may be applicable, such Member
shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Collateral Manager in writing and the
Issuer shall have the right to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Issuer and the Collateral Manager to represent the Member and any others the
Issuer may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and
disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding.  In any such proceeding, the Member shall have
the right to retain individual counsel, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of the Member unless (i) the Issuer and
the Member shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the
named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include
the Member and the Issuer and representation of all such parties by the same
counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between them.  It is understood that the
Issuer shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in
the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Member and any other
members of the Advisory Committee, and that all such reasonable fees and
expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.  The Issuer shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled
with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Issuer
agrees, subject to the limitations noted herein, to indemnify the Member from
and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  The Issuer shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Member, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which the Member is or is likely to have
been a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the
Member from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding.

 

B-2-2

 

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any person shall pay the Member any amount of indemnification
pursuant to this Paragraph 3, such person shall succeed to the rights of the
Issuer, to the exclusion of the Issuer, set forth in this Paragraph 3(c) (including,
but not limited to, the right of the Issuer to retain counsel to represent the
Member in any related proceeding and to effect any settlement of any related
pending or threatened proceeding).
