representatives of the Advisor or the Company as it may deem appropriate. Any authority delegated by the Advisor to any other Person shall be subject to the limitations on the rights and powers of the Advisor specifically set forth in this Agreement
or the Charter. 
 4.02 Powers of the Advisor. Subject to the express limitations set forth in this Agreement and the continuing and
exclusive authority of the Board over the management of the Company, the power to direct the management, operation and policies of the Company, including making, financing and disposing of investments, shall be vested in the Advisor, which shall
have the power by itself and shall be authorized and empowered on behalf and in the name of the Company to carry out any and all of the objectives and 

  
 12 

 
purposes of the Company and to perform all acts and enter into and perform all contracts and other undertakings that it may in its sole discretion deem necessary, advisable or incidental thereto
to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 
 4.03 Approval by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor may not take any
action on behalf of the Company (or its Subsidiaries) without the prior approval of the Board or duly authorized committees thereof if the Charter or Maryland General Corporation Law require the prior approval of the Board (or if the governing
documents or governing law applicable to any Subsidiary require the prior approval of the governing body of such Subsidiary). If the Board or a committee of the Board must approve a proposed investment, financing or disposition or chooses to do so,
the Advisor will deliver to the Board or committee, as applicable, all documents required by it to evaluate such investment, financing or disposition. 

4.04 Modification or Revocation of Authority of Advisor. The Board may, at any time upon the giving of notice to the Advisor, modify or revoke
the authority or approvals set forth in Article 3 and this Article 4 hereof; provided, however, that such modification or revocation shall be effective upon receipt by the Advisor and shall not be applicable to investment transactions to which the
Advisor has committed the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the date of receipt by the Advisor of such notification. 
 ARTICLE 5

 BANK ACCOUNTS 

The Advisor may establish and maintain one or more bank accounts in the name of the Company (and its Subsidiaries) and may collect and deposit
into any such account or accounts, and disburse from any such account or accounts, any money on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries, under such terms and conditions as the Board (or the governing body of such Subsidiary) may approve, provided
that no funds shall be commingled with the funds of the Advisor. The Advisor shall from time to time render appropriate accountings of such collections and payments to the Board and the independent auditors of the Company. 

ARTICLE 6 
 RECORDS AND
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 The Advisor, in the conduct of its responsibilities to the Company, shall maintain adequate and separate books
and records for the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ operations in accordance with GAAP, which shall be supported by sufficient documentation to ascertain that such books and records are properly and accurately recorded. Such books and
records shall be the property of the Company and its Subsidiaries and shall be available for inspection by the Board and by counsel, auditors and other authorized agents of the Company, at any time or from time to time during normal business hours.
Such books and records shall include all information necessary to 

  
 13 

 
calculate and audit the fees or reimbursements paid under this Agreement. The Advisor shall utilize procedures to attempt to ensure such control over accounting and financial transactions as is
reasonably required to protect the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets from theft, error or fraudulent activity. All financial statements that the Advisor delivers to the Company shall be prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with
GAAP, except for special financial reports that by their nature require a deviation from GAAP. The Advisor shall liaise with the Company’s officers and independent auditors and shall provide such officers and auditors with the reports and other
information that the Company so requests. 
 ARTICLE 7 

LIMITATION ON ACTIVITIES 

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Advisor shall not take any action that, in its sole judgment made in good
faith, would (i) adversely affect the ability of the Company to qualify or continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code, (ii) subject the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (iii) violate any
law, rule, regulation or statement of policy of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company, its Shares or its other securities, (iv) require the Advisor to register as a broker-dealer with the SEC or any state,
(v) violate the Charter or Bylaws, or (vi) violate the governing documents of any Subsidiary of the Company. In the event an action that would violate (i) through (vi) of the preceding sentence but such action has been ordered by
the Board, the Advisor shall notify the Board of the Advisor’s judgment of the potential impact of such action and shall refrain from taking such action until it receives further clarification or instructions from the Board. In such event, the
Advisor shall have no liability for acting in accordance with the specific instructions of the Board so given. 
 ARTICLE 8 

FEES 
 8.01 Acquisition
Fees. As compensation for the investigation, selection, sourcing and acquisition or origination (by purchase, investment or exchange) of Properties, Loans and other Permitted Investments, the Company shall pay an Acquisition Fee to the Advisor for
each such investment (whether an acquisition or origination). With respect to the acquisition or origination of a Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment to be owned by the Company or a Subsidiary, the Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor
shall equal 2.0% of the sum of the amount actually paid or allocated to fund the acquisition, origination, development, construction or improvement of the Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment, inclusive of the Acquisition Expenses associated
with such Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment and the amount of any debt associated with, or used to fund the investment in, such Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment. Acquisition Fees will also include any amounts incurred or
reserved for capital expenditures that will be used to provide funds for capital improvements and repairs applied to any real property investment acquired where the Company plans to add value. 

  
 14 

 With respect to the acquisition or origination of a Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment
through any Joint Venture or any partnership in which the Company or the Partnership is, directly or indirectly, a partner and which is not deemed a Subsidiary, the Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor shall equal 2.0% of the portion that is
attributable to the Company’s direct or indirect investment in such Joint Venture or partnership of the amount actually paid or allocated to fund the acquisition, origination, development, construction or improvement of the Property, Loan or
other Permitted Investment, inclusive of the Acquisition Expenses associated with such Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment, plus the amount of any debt associated with, or used to fund the investment in, such Property, Loan or other
Permitted Investment. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment of Acquisition Fees by the Company shall be subject to
the limitations on Acquisition Fees contained in (and defined in) the Charter. The Advisor shall submit an invoice to the Company following the closing or closings of each acquisition or origination, accompanied by a computation of the Acquisition
Fee. Generally, the Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor shall be paid at the closing of the transaction upon receipt of the invoice by the Company. However, the Acquisition Fee may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the
sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Acquisition Fees not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine. 

8.02 Asset Management Fees. The Company shall pay the Advisor as compensation for the services described in Section 3.03 hereof a monthly
fee (the “Asset Management Fee”) in an amount equal to: 
 (a) Prior to the Company’s reporting of NAV, one-twelfth of 1.0%
of the Cost of Investments, as of the end of the current month. 
 (b) After the Company’s reporting of NAV, one-twelfth of 1.0% of the
Appraised Asset Values. 
 The asset management fees payable pursuant to (a) or (b) above are subject to the following
adjustments: 
 (1) For any month in which a Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment is disposed of, the Company shall
prorate the portion of the Asset Management Fee related to that specific Property, Loan, or other Permitted Investment by using a numerator equal to the number of days owned during the month of disposal, divided by a denominator equal to the total
number of days in such month and add the resulting amount to the fee due for such month; and 
 (2) For any month in which a
Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment is acquired, the Company shall prorate the portion of the Asset Management Fee related 

  
 15 

 
to that specific Property, Loan, or other Permitted Investment by using a numerator equal to the number of days in the month less the number of days owned during the month (including the full day
of closing), divided by a denominator equal to the total number of days in such month and deduct the resulting amount from the fee due for such month. 

The Advisor shall submit a monthly invoice to the Company, accompanied by a computation of the Asset Management Fee for the applicable period.
Generally, the Asset Management Fee payable to the Advisor for any month shall be paid on the last day of such month, or within the first three business days following the last day of such month. As an example, the Asset Management Fee calculated
with respect to the Property, Loans, or other Permitted Investments owned at the end of the month of January shall be due and payable between January 31 and the third business day of February in any year. 

The Asset Management Fee may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any
portion of the Asset Management Fees not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine. 

8.03 Disposition Fees. If the Advisor or any of its Affiliates provide a substantial amount of services (as determined by the Conflicts
Committee) in connection with a Sale, the Advisor or such Affiliate shall receive a fee at the closing (the “Disposition Fee”) equal to the lesser of (i) (A) one-half of the aggregate brokerage commission paid, including the
brokerage commission payable pursuant to this clause 8.03(i)(A) or (B) if none is paid, the Competitive Brokerage Commission or (ii) 2.00% of the Contract Sales Price; provided, however, that no Disposition Fee shall be payable to the
Advisor for any Sale if such Sale involves the Company selling all or substantially all of its assets in one or more transactions designed to effectuate a business combination transaction (as opposed to a Company liquidation, in which case the
Disposition Fee would be payable if the Advisor or an Affiliate provides a substantial amount of services as provided above). The Company will not pay a disposition fee upon the maturity, prepayment or workout of a loan or other real estate related
debt investment; however, if the Company takes ownership of a property as a result of a workout or foreclosure of a loan or the Company provides substantial assistance during the course of a workout, the Company will pay a disposition fee upon the
sale of such property or disposition of such loan or other real estate related debt investment. The payment of any Disposition Fees by the Company shall be subject to the limitations contained in the Company’s Charter. Any Disposition Fee
payable under this Section 8.03 may be paid in addition to commissions paid to non-Affiliates, provided that the total commissions (including such Disposition Fee) paid to all Persons by the Company for each Sale shall not exceed an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) 6% of the aggregate Contract Sales Price of each Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment or (ii) the Competitive Brokerage Commission for each Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment. The Advisor shall
submit an invoice to the Company following the closing or closings of each disposition, accompanied by a computation of the Disposition Fee. Generally, the Disposition Fee payable to the Advisor shall be paid at the closing of the transaction upon
receipt of the invoice by the Company. However, the Disposition Fee may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the 

  
 16 

 
sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Disposition Fees not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the
Advisor shall determine. 
 8.04 Debt Financing Fees. In the event of any debt financing obtained or assumed by or for the Company or its
Subsidiaries (and any Joint Ventures that are not Subsidiaries but for which the Advisor provides substantial services in connection with obtaining such debt financing), the Company will pay to the Advisor a debt financing fee equal to 0.5% of the
amount available under the financing. The Debt Financing Fee includes the reimbursement of the specified cost incurred by the Advisor of engaging third parties to source debt financing, and nothing herein shall prevent the Advisor from entering
fee-splitting arrangements with third parties with respect to the Debt Financing Fee. All or any portion of the Debt Financing Fees not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the
Advisor shall determine. In no event will the Debt Financing Fee be paid more than once in respect of the same debt. For example, upon refinancing, the Advisor would only receive 0.5% of the incremental amount of additional debt financing obtained
in the refinancing. 
 8.05 Changes to Fee Structure. In the event of Listing, the Company and the Advisor shall negotiate in good faith to
establish a fee structure appropriate for a perpetual-life entity. 
 8.06 Limitations on an Internalization Transaction. The Company may
not acquire the Advisor or an Affiliate thereof in order to become self-managed, whether by means of a merger, stock acquisition, or asset purchase (an “Internalization Transaction”) unless the Advisor agrees to proceed with an
Internalization Transaction without the payment of any internalization fee or other consideration by the Company, whether in the form of a cash payment or in the form of stock, warrants or options. 

ARTICLE 9

Loans and other Permitted Investments; 

  
 18 

 (viii) All out-of-pocket expenses in connection with payments to the Board and
meetings of the Board and Stockholders; 
 (ix) Personnel and related employment costs incurred by the Advisor or its

(x) Out-of-pocket expenses of providing services for and maintaining communications with Stockholders, including the cost of

(i) Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and reimbursable pursuant to this Article 9 shall be reimbursed
no less than monthly to the Advisor. The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses of the Company during each quarter and shall deliver such statement to the Company within 45 days after the end of each quarter. 

(ii) The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor to the extent such reimbursement would cause the total amount spent by the
Company on Organization and Offering Expenses to exceed 15% of the Gross Proceeds raised as of the termination of the Offering and provided further that within 60 days after 

  
 19 

 
the end of the month in which an Offering terminates, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company to the extent the Company incurred Organization and Offering Expenses exceeding 15% of the Gross
Proceeds raised in the completed Offering; the Company shall not reimburse the Advisor for any Organization and Offering Expenses that the Conflicts Committee determines are not fair and commercially reasonable to the Company. 

(iii) Notwithstanding anything else in this Article 9 to the contrary, the expenses enumerated in this Article 9 shall not

Expenses shall apply: The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter for Operating Expenses that in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) exceed (the “Excess Amount”)
the greater of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such year unless the Conflicts Committee determines that such excess was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors that the
Conflicts Committee deems sufficient. If the Conflicts Committee does not approve such excess as being so justified, any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company. If the Conflicts Committee determines
such excess was justified, then, within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which total reimbursed Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines, the Advisor, at the direction of the Conflicts
Committee, shall cause such fact to be disclosed to the Stockholders in writing (or the Company shall disclose such fact to the Stockholders in the next quarterly report of the Company or by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC within 60
days of such quarter end), together with an explanation of the factors the Conflicts Committee considered in determining that such excess expenses were justified. The Company will ensure that such determination will be reflected in the minutes of
the meetings of the Board. All figures used in the foregoing computation shall be determined in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. 

ARTICLE 10 
 VOTING
AGREEMENT 
 The Advisor agrees that, with respect to any Shares now or hereinafter owned by it, the Advisor will not vote or consent on
matters submitted to the stockholders of the Company regarding (i) the removal of the Advisor or any Affiliate of the Advisor or (ii) any transaction between the Company or its Subsidiaries and the Advisor or any of its Affiliates. This
voting restriction shall survive until such time that the Advisor is both no longer serving as such and is no longer an Affiliate of the Company. 

  
 20 

 ARTICLE 11 

RELATIONSHIP OF ADVISOR AND COMPANY; 

OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR 

11.01 Relationship. The Company and the Advisor are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to make them such partners or joint venturers. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor from engaging in other activities, including, without limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the
management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor or its Affiliates. Nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any manager, director, officer, employee or equityholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to
engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other Person. The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein.
The Advisor shall promptly disclose to the Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, that creates or could create a conflict of interest between the Advisor’s obligations to the
Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other Person. 
 11.02 Time Commitment. The Advisor shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents to, devote to the Company such time as shall be reasonably necessary to conduct the business and affairs of the Company in an appropriate manner consistent with the terms of this
Agreement. The Company acknowledges that the Advisor and its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents may also engage in activities unrelated to the Company and may provide services to Persons other than the Company or any of
its Affiliates. 
 11.03 Investment Opportunities and Allocation. The Advisor shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to
present a continuing and suitable investment program to the Company that is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company, but neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be obligated generally to present any
particular investment opportunity to the Company even if the opportunity is of character that, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company. In the event an investment opportunity is located, the allocation procedure set forth under
the caption “Conflicts of Interest – Certain Conflict Resolution Measures – Allocation of Investment Opportunities” in the Registration Statement shall govern the allocation of the opportunity among the Company and Affiliates of
the Advisor. 
 11.04 Non-Solicitation. During the period commencing on the date on which this Agreement is entered into and ending one year
following the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the Advisor’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or encourage any person to leave the employment or other service

  
 21 

 
of the Advisor or its affiliates or (ii) hire, on behalf of the Company or any other person or entity, any person who has left the employment within the one year period following the
termination of that person’s employment with the Advisor or its affiliates. During the period commencing on the date hereof through and ending one year following the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall not, whether for its own
account or for the account of any other person, firm, corporation or other business organization, intentionally interfere with the relationship of the Advisor or its affiliates with, or endeavor to entice away from the Advisor or its affiliates, any
person who during the term of the Agreement is, or during the preceding one-year period was, a customer of the Advisor or its affiliates. 

ARTICLE 12 
 THE
RESOURCE APARTMENT NAME 
 The Advisor and its Affiliates have a proprietary interest in the name “RESOURCE APARTMENT.” The
Advisor hereby grants to the Company a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive royalty-free right and license to use the name “RESOURCE APARTMENT” during the term of this Agreement. Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if
at any time the Company ceases to retain the Advisor or one of its Affiliates to perform advisory services for the Company, the Company will, promptly after receipt of written request from the Advisor, cease to conduct business under or use the name
“RESOURCE APARTMENT” or any derivative thereof and the Company shall change its name and the names of any of its subsidiaries to a name that does not contain the name “RESOURCE APARTMENT” or any other word or words that might, in
the reasonable discretion of the Advisor, be susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between the Company and the Advisor or any its Affiliates. At such time, the Company will also make any changes to any trademarks, servicemarks or
other marks necessary to remove any references to the word “RESOURCE APARTMENT.” Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the Advisor or one or more of its Affiliates may in the future organize, sponsor or
otherwise permit to exist other investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in real estate) and financial and service organizations having “RESOURCE APARTMENT” as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and
without the right to object thereto) by the Company. 
 ARTICLE 13 

TERM AND TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT 

13.01 Term. Subject to Section 4.02 hereof, this Agreement shall continue in full force until
[            ], 2017. Thereafter, this Agreement may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year terms upon mutual consent of the parties. The Company (acting through the
Conflicts Committee) will evaluate the performance of the Advisor annually before renewing this Agreement, and each such renewal shall be for a term of no more than one year. Any such renewal must be approved by the Conflicts Committee. 

  
 22 

 13.02 Termination by Either Party. This Agreement may be terminated upon 60 days written notice
without cause or penalty by either the Company (acting through the Conflicts Committee) or the Advisor. The provisions of Articles 1, 10, 12, 13, 15 and 17 shall survive termination of this Agreement. 

13.03 Payments on Termination . Payments to the Advisor pursuant to this Section 13.03 shall be subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines to the
extent applicable. After the Termination Date, the Advisor shall not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder except it shall be entitled to receive from the Company within 30 days after the effective date of such termination all
unpaid reimbursements of expenses and all earned but unpaid fees payable to the Advisor prior to termination of this Agreement. 
 13.04

 (iv) cooperate with the Company
to provide an orderly transition of advisory functions. 
 ARTICLE 14 

ASSIGNMENT 
 This
Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate with the consent of the Conflicts Committee. The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement without obtaining the approval of the Board. This
Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by the Company to a corporation or other organization that is a successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations of the
Company, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company is bound by this Agreement. 

  
 23 

 ARTICLE 15 

INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 

15.01 Indemnification. Except as prohibited by the restrictions provided in this Section 15.01, Section 15.02 and
Section 15.03, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, equity holders, partners and employees, from all liability, claims, damages or losses arising
in the performance of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent such liability, claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance. Any indemnification of
the Advisor may be made only out of the net assets of the Company and not from Stockholders. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall not indemnify the Advisor or its Affiliates for any loss, liability or expense arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there
has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged material securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent
jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made,
and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the SEC and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered or sold as to
indemnification for violations of securities laws. 
 15.02 Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
not provide for indemnification of the Advisor or its Affiliates for any liability or loss suffered by any of them, nor shall any of them be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by the Company, unless all of the following conditions are
met: 
 (i) The Advisor or its Affiliates have determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or
liability was in the best interests of the Company. 
 (ii) The Advisor or its Affiliates were acting on behalf of or
performing services for the Company. 
 (iii) Such liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the
Advisor or its Affiliates. 
 15.03 Limitation on Payment of Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse reasonable legal expenses and
other costs incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding only if (in addition to the procedures required by the Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time) all of

  
 24 

 
the following are satisfied: (a) the proceeding relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company, (b) the legal proceeding was
initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder or, if by a stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such advancement and (c) the Advisor or its Affiliates undertake to repay the amount
paid or reimbursed by the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, if it is ultimately determined that the particular indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. 

ARTICLE 16 
 GUARANTEE

 Resource Real Estate, Inc., the ultimate parent company of the Advisor (the “Guarantor”) will in all respects guarantee the
due and proper performance of the services to be provided under this Agreement by the Advisor, which guarantee shall extend to include any renewal or amendment to this Agreement, provided Guarantor’s obligations are not materially increased by
such renewal or amendment without the Guarantor’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. If the Advisor fails to perform all or any of its obligations, duties, undertakings, and covenants to provide services (collectively, the
“Guaranteed Obligations”) under this Agreement (unless relieved from the performance of any part of this Agreement by statute, by the decision of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction or by waiver of the Company), upon written
notice from the Company, the Guarantor shall perform or cause to be performed such Guaranteed Obligations. This guarantee is a guarantee of performance of the Guaranteed Obligations and not of payment of any liabilities of the Advisor. The
termination of the Advisor shall constitute a termination of this guarantee. This guarantee will be applicable to and binding upon the successors and assigns of Guarantor.

 INDENTURE, dated as of March 2, 2016, between NewStar Commercial Loan Funding 2016-1
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “Issuer”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (herein, together with its permitted successors and assigns in the trusts
hereunder, the “Trustee”). 
 PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 

The Issuer is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture to provide for the Notes issuable as provided herein. The Issuer is
entering into this Indenture, and the Trustee is accepting the trusts created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged. 

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

GRANTING CLAUSES 
 The
Issuer hereby Grants to the Trustee, for the benefit and security of the Holders of the Notes, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager and the Transferor (collectively, the “Secured Parties”), all of the Issuer’s right, title and
interest in, to and under, in each case, whether now owned or existing on the Closing Date, or hereafter acquired or arising, (a) the Collateral Obligations (listed, as of the Closing Date, in Schedule 1 to this Indenture) and all
payments thereon or with respect thereto, (b) each of the Accounts, and any Eligible Investments on deposit in any of the Accounts, and all income from the investment of funds therein, (c) the Collateral Management Agreement as set forth
in Article XV hereof, the Securities Account Control Agreement and the Master Loan Sale Agreement, (d) all Cash or Money owned by the Issuer, (e) any Equity Securities received by the Issuer, (f) all accounts (including
health-care-insurance receivables), chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, documents (including, if applicable, electronic documents), financial assets, general intangibles (including all payment
intangibles), goods (including inventory and equipment), instruments, investment property, letters of credit, letter-of-credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), promissory notes and other supporting obligations
relating to the foregoing (in each case as defined in the UCC), (g) any other property of the Issuer (whether or not constituting Collateral Obligations or Eligible Investments), and (h) all proceeds with respect to the foregoing (the
assets referred to in (a) through (h) are collectively referred to as the “Assets”). 
 The above Grant is made
in trust to secure the Notes and certain other amounts payable by the Issuer as described herein. Except as set forth in the Priority of Payments and Article XIII of this Indenture, the Notes are secured by the Grant 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. The Grant is made to secure, in accordance with the priorities set forth in the Priority of Payments and
Article XIII of this Indenture, (i) the payment of all amounts due on the Notes in accordance with their terms, (ii) the payment of all other sums (other than in respect of the Interests) payable under this Indenture,
(iii) the payment of amounts owing by the Issuer under the Collateral Management Agreement and the Master Loan Sale Agreement and (iv) compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, all as provided herein. The foregoing Grant

 
shall, for the purpose of determining the property subject to the lien of this Indenture, be deemed to include any securities and any investments granted to the Trustee by or on behalf of the
Issuer, whether or not such securities or investments satisfy the criteria set forth in the definitions of “Collateral Obligation” or “Eligible Investments”, as the case may be. 

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

Obligation shall be “CCC-”; provided, further, that if the Collateral Obligation has had a public rating by S&P that S&P has withdrawn or suspended within six months prior to the date of such application for a credit
estimate in respect of such Collateral Obligation, the S&P Rating in respect thereof shall be “CCC-” pending receipt from S&P of such estimate, and S&P may elect not to provide such estimate until a period of six months (or

Collateral Obligation to S&P and thereafter shall submit such further available Information in respect of such Collateral Obligation as reasonably requested by S&P; or

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

  
 -65- 

 
reports of payments, if any, received on such Asset that are furnished by or on behalf of the issuer of such Asset and, to the extent they are not manifestly in error, such information or reports
may be conclusively relied upon in making such calculations. 
 (b) For purposes of calculating the Coverage Tests, except as otherwise
specified in the Coverage Tests, such calculations will not include scheduled interest and principal payments on Defaulted Obligations unless or until such payments are actually made. 

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

(d) Each Scheduled Distribution receivable with respect to an Asset shall be assumed to be received on the applicable Due Date, and each such
Scheduled Distribution shall be assumed to be immediately deposited in the Collection Account to earn interest at the Assumed Reinvestment Rate. All such funds shall be assumed to continue to earn interest until the date on which they are required
to be available in the Collection Account for application, in accordance with the terms hereof, to payments of principal of or interest on the Notes or other amounts payable pursuant to this Indenture. For purposes of the applicable determinations
required by Section 10.8(b)(iv), Article XII and the definition of “Interest Coverage Ratio”, the expected interest on the Notes and Floating Rate Obligations will be calculated using the then-current interest rates
applicable thereto. 
 (e) References in Section 11.1(a) to calculations made on a “pro forma basis” shall mean
such calculations after giving effect to all payments, in accordance with the Priority of Payments described herein, that precede (in priority of payment) or include the clause in which such calculation is made. 

(f) For purposes of calculating all Concentration Limitations, in both the numerator and the denominator of any component of the Concentration
Limitations, Defaulted Obligations will be treated as having a Principal Balance equal to the Defaulted Obligation Balance. 
 (g) If a
Collateral Obligation included in the Assets would be deemed a Current Pay Obligation but for the applicable percentage limitation in the proviso to the definition of “Defaulted Obligation”, then the Current Pay Obligations with the lowest
Market Value (expressed as a percentage of the Principal Balance of such Current Pay Obligations as of the date of determination) shall be deemed Defaulted Obligations. Each such Defaulted Obligation will be treated as a Defaulted Obligation
for all purposes until such time as the Aggregate 

  
 -66- 

 
Principal Balance of Current Pay Obligations would not exceed, on a pro forma basis including such Defaulted Obligation, the applicable percentage of the Collateral Principal Amount as set forth
in the proviso to the definition of “Defaulted Obligation.” 
 (h) Except where expressly referenced herein for inclusion in such
calculations, Defaulted Obligations will not be included in the calculation of the Collateral Quality Test. 
 (i) For purposes of
calculating compliance with the Investment Criteria, upon the direction of the Collateral Manager by notice to the Trustee, any Eligible Investment representing Principal Proceeds received upon the sale or other disposition of a Collateral
Obligation shall be deemed to have the characteristics of such Collateral Obligation until reinvested in an additional Collateral Obligation. Such calculations shall be based upon the principal amount of such Collateral Obligation, except in the
case of Defaulted Obligations and Credit Risk Obligations, in which case the calculations will be based upon the Principal Proceeds received on the disposition or sale of such Defaulted Obligation or Credit Risk Obligation. 

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

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

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

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

(n) For all purposes where expressly used in this Indenture, the “outstanding principal balance” shall exclude capitalized interest,
if any. 
 (o) For purposes of calculating the sale proceeds of a Collateral Obligation in sale transactions, sale proceeds will include any
Principal Financed Accrued Interest and Principal Financed Capitalized Interest received in respect of such sale.

 -70- 

 Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at the time of execution
Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding the fact that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of issuance
of such Notes. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Notes
executed by the Issuer to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for authentication and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, upon Issuer Order, shall authenticate and deliver such Notes as provided herein and not otherwise. 

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

Notes issued upon transfer, exchange or replacement of other Notes shall be issued in authorized denominations reflecting the original
aggregate principal amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced, but shall represent only the current outstanding principal amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced. If any Note is divided into more than one Note in
accordance with this Article II, the original principal amount of such Note shall be proportionately divided among the Notes delivered in exchange therefor and shall be deemed to be the original aggregate principal amount of such subsequently
issued Notes. 
 No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there
appears on such Note a Certificate of Authentication, substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by the Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of their authorized signatories, and such Certificate of
Authentication upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 

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

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

  
 -71- 

 Subject to this Section 2.5, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Notes
at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate, or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate, and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal or face amount. At any time, upon request of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the Initial Purchaser, the Trustee shall
provide such requesting Person a list of Holders of the Notes. 
 In addition, when permitted under this Indenture, the Issuer, the Trustee
and the Collateral Manager shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate of ownership provided to the Trustee by a beneficial owner of a Note (including a Beneficial Ownership Certificate or a certificate in the form of Exhibit D) and/or
other forms of reasonable evidence of such ownership as to the names and addresses of such beneficial owner and the Classes, principal amounts and CUSIP numbers of Notes beneficially owned thereby. At any time, upon request of the Issuer, the
Collateral Manager or the Initial Purchaser, the Trustee shall provide such requesting Person a copy of each Beneficial Ownership Certificate that the Trustee has received. 

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for Notes of like terms, in any authorized denominations and of like aggregate principal
amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Note is surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate, or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate, and
deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 All Notes issued and authenticated upon any registration
of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt (to the extent they evidence debt), and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of
transfer or exchange. 
 Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. 

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Trustee may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any transfer, tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Trustee shall be permitted to request such evidence reasonably satisfactory to it documenting the identity, authority, and/or signatures of
the transferor and transferee. 
 (b) No Note may be sold or transferred (including, without limitation, by pledge or
hypothecation) unless such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, is exempt from the registration requirements under applicable state securities laws and will not cause the Issuer to become subject
to the requirement that it register as an investment company under the 1940 Act. 
 (c) No transfer of any Class E Note (or any interest
therein) will be effective, and the Trustee will not recognize any such transfer, if after giving effect to such transfer 25% or more 

  
 -72- 

 
of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class E Notes would be held by Persons who are Benefit Plan Investors as calculated pursuant to 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by
Section 3(42) of ERISA (the “25% Limitation”). For purposes of these calculations and all other calculations required by this sub-Section, any Notes of the Issuer held by a Person (other
than a Benefit Plan Investor) who is a Controlling Person shall be disregarded and not treated as Outstanding. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon the information set forth on the face of the transfer certificates received
pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.5 and only Notes that a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so held shall be so disregarded. 

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

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

(i) Rule 144A Global Note to Regulation S Global Note. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note

delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, such holder (provided that such holder or, in the case of a transfer, the transferee is a Qualified Purchaser that is not a U.S. person) may, subject
to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer of, such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note. Upon receipt
by the Registrar of (A) instructions given in accordance with DTC’s procedures from an Agent Member directing the Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, but not less
than the Minimum Denomination applicable to such holder’s Notes, in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be exchanged or transferred, (B) a written order given in accordance with DTC’s procedures
containing information regarding the participant account of DTC and the Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase, (C) a certificate in the form of Exhibit B-1 attached hereto given by the holder of such
beneficial interest stating that the exchange or transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Notes, including that the holder or the transferee, as applicable, is a Qualified
Purchaser that is not a U.S. person and is purchasing such beneficial interest in reliance on Regulation S, 

  
 -73- 

 
and (D) a written certification in the form of Exhibit B-7 attached hereto given by the transferee in respect of such beneficial interest stating, among other things, that such
transferee is a Qualified Purchaser that is not a U.S. person and is purchasing such beneficial interest outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S, then the Registrar shall approve the instructions at DTC to reduce the principal
amount of the Rule 144A Global Note and to increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause
to be credited to the securities account of the Agent Member specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note. 

(ii) Regulation S Global Note to Rule 144A Global Note. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global
Note deposited with DTC wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Regulation S Global Note for an interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note or to transfer its interest in such Regulation S Global Note to a Person who wishes to
take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note, such holder may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of Euroclear, Clearstream and/or DTC, as the case may be,

Global Note reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in a Rule 144A Global Note is a QIB/QP, is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and in accordance with any applicable
securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction and (C) a written certification in the form of Exhibit B-6 attached hereto given by the transferee in respect of
such beneficial interest stating, among other things, that such transferee is a QIB/QP, then the Registrar will approve the instructions at DTC to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the
beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be transferred or exchanged and the Registrar shall instruct DTC, concurrently with such reduction, to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account of the Agent Member specified in
such instructions a beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note. 

(iii) Global Note to Certificated Note. Subject to Section 2.10(a), if a holder of a beneficial interest in
a Global Note deposited with DTC wishes at any time to transfer its interest in such Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the 

  
 -74- 

 
form of a corresponding Certificated Note, such holder may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of Euroclear, Clearstream and/or DTC, as the case may be,

Upon receipt by the Registrar of (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3, as applicable, attached hereto executed by the transferee and (B) appropriate instructions from DTC, if required, the Registrar will approve the instructions at DTC to reduce, or cause to

of the Certificated Note surrendered by the transferor), and in authorized denominations. 
 (h) If Notes are issued upon the transfer,
exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the applicable legends set forth in the applicable part of Exhibit A hereto, and if a request is made to remove such applicable legend on such Notes, the applicable legend shall not be

  
 -76- 

 
removed unless there is delivered to the Trustee and the Issuer such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to them, as may be reasonably required by the Issuer
(and which shall by its terms permit reliance by the Trustee), 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 the
Securities Act, the 1940 Act, ERISA or the Code. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Trustee or its Authenticating Agent, at the written direction of the Issuer shall, after due execution by the Issuer authenticate and deliver Notes
that do not bear such applicable legend. 
 (i) Each Person who becomes a beneficial owner of Notes represented by an interest in a Global

the relevant transfer restrictions, representations, warranties and agreements to subsequent transferees. 
 (ii) Such
beneficial owner agrees that (A) (i) for the Class A Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes, and Class D Notes only, if it is, or is acting on behalf of, a Benefit Plan Investor, its acquisition, holding and disposition of such Notes
does not and will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) for the Class E Rule 144A Global Note only, it is not, and is not acting on behalf of, a
Benefit Plan Investor or a Controlling Person (or if it is, or is acting on behalf of, a Benefit Plan Investor or Controlling Person acquiring such Note with the express written agreement of the Issuer on the Closing Date, it has provided to the
Trustee an Investor Questionnaire substantially in the form attached hereto on Exhibit B-3), and (B) if such Person is a governmental, church, non-U.S. or other plan which is subject to any Other Plan Law, (i) for the Class E Rule
144A Global Note, such Person is not subject to any Similar Law and (ii) such Person’s acquisition, holding and disposition of such Notes will not constitute or result in a non-exempt violation of any such Other Plan Law. For the Class E
Rule 144A Global Note only, such beneficial owner agrees that no transfer of the Note or any interest therein will be permitted, and the Trustee will not recognize any such transfer, if it would cause 25% or more of the total value of the Class of
Notes to be held by Benefit Plan Investors, disregarding such Notes (or interests therein) held by Controlling Persons. 

(iii) Such beneficial owner understands that such Notes are being offered only in a transaction not involving any public
offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act, such Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, and, if in the future such beneficial owner decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer
such Notes, such Notes may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the legend on such Notes. Such beneficial owner acknowledges that no representation has been made as to the
availability of any exemption under the Securities Act or any state securities laws for resale of such Notes. Such beneficial owner understands that the Issuer has not been registered under the 1940 Act, and that the Issuer is exempt from
registration as such by virtue of Rule 3a-7 of the 1940 Act and Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act. 
 (iv) Such beneficial
owner is aware that, except as otherwise provided herein, any Notes being sold to it in reliance on Regulation S will be represented by one or more Regulation S Global Notes and that beneficial interests therein may be held only through DTC for
the respective accounts of Euroclear or Clearstream. 
 (v) Such beneficial owner will treat the Notes as indebtedness for
U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes.

 (vi) In the case of the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes
and/or the Class D Notes, such beneficial owner understands and acknowledges that the failure to provide the Issuer and the Trustee (and any of their agents) with the properly completed and signed tax certifications (generally, in the case of U.S.
federal income tax, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a U.S. Tax Person or the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or applicable successor form)
in the case of a person that is not a U.S. Tax Person) may result in withholding from payments in respect of such Note, including U.S. federal withholding or back-up withholding. 

(vii) In the case of the Class E Rule 144A Global Note, such beneficial owner represents and warrants that it is a U.S. Tax
Person and understands and acknowledges that it will be required to provide the Issuer and the Trustee (and any of their agents) with a correct, complete and properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form). Such
beneficial owner of the Class E Rule 144A Global Note understands and acknowledges that the failure to provide the Issuer and the Trustee (and any of their agents) with the properly completed and signed tax certifications specified above may result
in withholding from payments in respect of such Note, including U.S. federal withholding or back-up withholding. 
 (viii) In
the case of the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and/or the Class D Notes, such beneficial owner agrees to provide the Issuer and any relevant intermediary with any information or documentation that is required under FATCA or
that the Issuer or relevant intermediary deems appropriate to enable the Issuer or relevant intermediary to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes they may be required to withhold pursuant to FATCA in respect of such Note
or the holder of such Note or beneficial interest therein. In addition, each purchaser and subsequent transferee of such Notes (or any interest therein) will be deemed to understand and acknowledge that the Issuer has the right under this Indenture
to withhold on any holder or any beneficial owner of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with FATCA. 
 (ix) In the
case of the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and/or the Class D Notes, if such Person is not a U.S. Tax Person, (a) either (i) it is not a bank (or an entity affiliated with a bank) extending credit pursuant to a
loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code), (ii) it is a person that is eligible for benefits under an income tax treaty with the United States that
eliminates U.S. federal income taxation of U.S. source interest not attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States, or (iii) it has provided an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI representing that all payments received or to
be received by it on the Notes are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and (b) it is not purchasing the Notes or an interest in the Notes in order to reduce its U.S. federal income tax liability
pursuant to a tax avoidance plan. 
 (x) In the case of the Class E Rule 144A Global Note, such beneficial owner represents
and agrees that, except in the case of the Retention Holder, no Class E Note (or 

  
 -79- 

 
any interest therein) may be acquired or owned by any Person that is classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership, subchapter S corporation or grantor trust unless
(i) (a) none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any interest in such Person have or ever will have more than 40% of the value of its interest in such Person attributable to the aggregate interest of such Person in the combined
value of the Class E Notes, and the Interests (and any other equity interests in the Issuer), and (b) it is not and will not be a principal purpose of the arrangement involving the investment of such Person in any Class E Notes, or
Interests (or any other equity interests in the Issuer) to permit any partnership to satisfy the 100 partner limitation of Treas. Reg. § 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) or (ii) such Person obtains an opinion of nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel
that such acquisition or ownership will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. 

(xi) In the case of the Class E Rule 144A Global Note, such beneficial owner represents and agrees that no Class E Note
(or any interest therein) may be acquired, and no holder of a Class E Note (or any interest therein) may sell, transfer, assign, participate, pledge or otherwise dispose of a Class E Note (or any interest therein) or cause a Class E Note (or any
interest therein) to be marketed, (i) on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code and Treas. Reg. § 1.7704-1(b), including without limitation, an interdealer
quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations or (ii) if such acquisition, sale, transfer, assignment, participation, pledge or other disposition would cause the Class E Notes, and the Interests (and any other equity
interests in the Issuer), in the aggregate, to be held by more than 90 Persons. 
 (xii) In the case of the Class E Rule 144A
Global Note, such beneficial owner represents and agrees that it will not enter into any financial instrument payments which are, or the value of which is, determined in whole or in part by reference to such Note or the Issuer (including the amount
of Issuer distributions on such Note, the value of the Issuer’s assets, or the result of the Issuer’s operations), or any contract that otherwise is described in Treas. Reg. §1.7704-1(a)(2)(i)(B). 

(xiii) In the case of the Class E Rule 144A Global Note, such beneficial owner acknowledges and agrees that any sale, transfer,
assignment, participation, pledge, or other disposition of a Class E Note (or any interest therein) that would violate any of the three preceding paragraphs above or otherwise cause the Issuer to be unable to rely on the “private
placement” safe harbor of Treas. Reg. § 1.7704-1(h) will be void and of no force or effect, and it will not transfer any interest in a Class E Note to any Person that does not agree to be bound by the three preceding paragraphs above and
by this paragraph. 
 (xiv) In the case of the Class E Rule 144A Global Note, such beneficial owner will indemnify the
Issuer, the Trustee and their respective agents from any and all damages, cost and expenses (including any amount of taxes, fees, interest, additions to tax, or penalties) resulting from the failure by it to comply with its obligations under the
immediately preceding four paragraphs. The indemnification will continue with respect to any period during which it held such Note (or any interest therein), notwithstanding it ceasing to be a holder of such Note (or any interest therein). 

  
 -80- 

 (xv) Such beneficial owner agrees not to seek to commence in respect of the
Issuer, or cause the Issuer to commence, a bankruptcy proceeding before a year and a day has elapsed since the payment in full to the holders of the Notes issued pursuant to this Indenture or, if longer, the applicable preference period (plus one
day) then in effect. 
 (xvi) Such beneficial owner agrees that (a)(i) the express terms of this Indenture govern the rights
of the holders to direct the commencement of a Proceeding against any Person, (ii) this Indenture contains limitations on the rights of the holders to direct the commencement of any such Proceeding, and (iii) each beneficial owner shall
comply with such express terms if it seeks to direct the commencement of any such Proceeding, (b) there are no implied rights under this Indenture to direct the commencement of any such Proceeding, and (c) notwithstanding any provision of
this Indenture, or any provision of the Notes or of any other agreement, the Issuer shall be under no duty or obligation of any kind to the holders of the Notes (or of any interest therein), or any of them, to institute any legal or other
proceedings of any kind, against any person or entity, including, without limitation, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager or the Calculation Agent. 

(xvii) Such beneficial owner agrees that the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, may enter into
binding commitments to sell and transfer all Notes of a Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting holders pursuant to this Indenture, and if such beneficial owner is a non-consenting holder, it agrees to sell and transfer its Notes in accordance with
the provisions of this Indenture and hereby irrevocably appoints the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and
at its expense, in connection with such sale and transfer, and agrees to cooperate with the Issuer, the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, or the Trustee to effect such sale and transfers. 

(xviii) Such beneficial owner will provide notice to each Person to whom it proposes to transfer any interest in the Notes of
the transfer restrictions, representations, warranties and agreements set forth in this Indenture. 
 (j) Each Person who becomes an owner
of a Certificated Note will be required to make the representations and agreements set forth in Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3, as applicable. 

(k) 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 whatsoever. 
 (l) To the extent required by the Issuer, as determined by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager on behalf of
the Issuer, the Issuer may, upon written notice to the Trustee, impose additional transfer restrictions on the Notes to comply with the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act
of 2001 or the Code and other similar laws or regulations, including, without limitation, requiring each transferee of a Note to make representations to the Issuer in connection with such compliance. 

  
 -81- 

 (m) The Registrar, the Trustee and the Issuer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the
information set forth on the face of any purchaser, transferor and transferee certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 2.5 and shall be able to presume conclusively the continuing accuracy thereof, in each case without further
inquiry or investigation. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be required to obtain any certificate specifically required by the terms of this Section 2.5 if the Trustee is not notified of or
in a position to know of any transfer requiring such a certificate to be presented by the proposed transferor or transferee. 
 (n) For the
avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, the Initial Purchaser may hold a position in a Regulation S Global Note prior to the distribution of the applicable Notes represented by such position. 

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 Trustee and the relevant Transfer Agent evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (b) there is delivered to the Issuer, the
Trustee and such Transfer Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Trustee or such Transfer Agent that such Note has been acquired by a protected
purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and, upon Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate, or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate, and deliver to the Holder, in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new
Note, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal or face amount, registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication, bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the mutilated,
defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 If, after delivery of such new Note, a
protected purchaser of the predecessor Note presents for payment, transfer or exchange such predecessor Note, the Issuer, the Transfer Agent and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such new Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any
Person taking therefrom, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer, the Trustee and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith. 

In case any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of
issuing a new Note pay such Note without requiring surrender thereof except that any mutilated or defaced Note shall be surrendered. 
 Upon
the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.6, the Issuer may require the payment by the Holder thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Note issued pursuant to this
Section 2.6 in lieu of any mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer and such new Note shall be entitled, subject to the second paragraph of this
Section 2.6, to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes of the same Class duly issued hereunder. 

  
 -82- 

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

Section 2.7 Payment of Principal and Interest and Other Amounts; Principal and Interest Rights Preserved. (a) The Notes of
each Class shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period at the applicable Interest Rate and such interest will be payable in arrears on each Payment Date on the Aggregate Outstanding Amount thereof on the first day of the related
Interest Accrual Period (after giving effect to payments of principal thereof on such date), except as otherwise set forth below. Payment of interest on each Class of Notes (other than the Class A Notes) will be subordinated to the payment of
interest on each related Priority Class as provided in Section 11.1. So long as any Priority Class is Outstanding with respect to each Class of Deferrable Notes, any payment of interest due on such Class of Deferrable Notes which is not
available to be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date (“Deferred Interest”) shall not be considered “due and payable” for the purposes of Section 5.1(a) (and the failure to pay
such interest shall not be an Event of Default) and, thereafter, will bear interest at the Interest Rate for such Class of Deferrable Notes (as applicable) until the earliest of (i) the Payment Date on which funds are available to pay such
Deferred Interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments, (ii) the Redemption Date with respect to such Class of Deferrable Notes, and (iii) the Stated Maturity of such Class of Deferrable Notes. Deferred Interest on the Deferrable
Notes shall be payable on the first Payment Date on which funds are available to be used for such purpose in accordance with the Priority of Payments, but in any event no later than the earlier of the Payment Date (i) which is the Redemption
Date with respect to such Class of Deferrable Notes, and (ii) which is the Stated Maturity of such Class of Deferrable Notes. Regardless of whether any Priority Class is Outstanding with respect to a Class of Deferrable Notes, to the extent
that funds are not available on any Payment Date (other than the Redemption Date with respect to, or Stated Maturity of, such Class of Deferrable Notes) to pay previously accrued Deferred Interest, such previously accrued Deferred Interest will not
be due and payable on such Payment Date and any failure to pay such previously accrued Deferred Interest on such Payment Date will not be an Event of Default. Interest will cease to accrue on each Note, or in the case of a partial repayment, on such
repaid part, from the date of repayment. To the extent lawful and enforceable, interest on any interest that is not paid when due on any Class A Notes or Class B Notes or, if no Class A Notes or Class B Notes are Outstanding, any Class C
Notes, or if no Class C Notes are Outstanding, any Class D Notes, or if no Class D Notes are Outstanding, any Class E Notes, shall accrue at the Interest Rate for such Class until paid as provided herein. 

(b) The principal of each Note matures at par and is due and payable on the date of the Stated Maturity for the applicable Class, unless such
principal has been previously repaid or unless the unpaid principal of such Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of principal of
each Class of Notes may only occur in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Payments of principal on any Class of Notes which are not paid, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on any Payment Date (other than the Payment Date which is
the Stated 

  
 -83- 

 
Maturity of such Class of Notes or any Redemption Date), because of insufficient funds therefor shall not be considered “due and payable” for purposes of
Section 5.1(a) until the Payment Date on which such principal may be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments or all Priority Classes with respect to such Class have been paid in full. 

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

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

(e) Payments in respect of interest on and principal of any Note and any payment with respect to the Interests shall be made by the Trustee in
Dollars to DTC or its designee with respect to a Global Note, to the Holder or its nominee with respect to a Certificated Note and to the Issuer with respect to the Interests, by wire transfer, as directed by such Person, in immediately available
funds to a Dollar account maintained by DTC or its nominee with respect to a Global Note, to the Holder or its nominee with respect to a Certificated Note or to the holder or its nominee with respect to the Interests; provided that in the
case of a Certificated Note (1) the Holder thereof shall have provided written wiring instructions to the Trustee on or before the related Record Date and (2) if appropriate instructions for any such wire transfer are not received by the
related Record Date, then such payment shall be made by check drawn on a U.S. bank mailed to the address of the Holder specified in the Register. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of a Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such
Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the office of any Paying Agent on or prior to such Maturity; provided that if the Trustee and the Issuer shall have been furnished such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to save each of them harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such certificate, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that the applicable Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, such final payment shall be
made without presentation or surrender. Neither the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager, nor any Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records (or for 

  
 -84- 

 
maintaining, supervising or reviewing such records) maintained by DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream or any of the Agent Members or any of their nominees relating to or for payments made thereby on
account of beneficial interests in a Global Note. In the case where any final payment of principal and interest is to be made on any Note (other than on the Stated Maturity thereof), the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer shall
prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, mail (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Persons entitled thereto at their addresses appearing on the Register, a notice which shall specify the date on which such payment will be
made, the amount of such payment per U.S.$1,000 original principal amount of Notes and the place where such Notes may be presented and surrendered for such payment. 

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

(g) Interest accrued with respect to the Floating Rate Notes shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the
applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360. Interest on the Fixed Rate Notes shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve (12) 30-day months. 

(h) All reductions in the principal amount of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of installments of principal
made on any Payment Date or Redemption Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of such Note and of any 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. 
 (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture
are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer payable solely from the Assets and following realization of the Assets, and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with this Indenture, all obligations of and any claims against the Issuer
hereunder or in connection herewith after such realization shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had against any officer, director, manager, partner, member, employee, shareholder, authorized Person or
incorporator of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or their respective affiliates, successors or assigns for any amounts payable under the Notes or this Indenture. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (i) shall not
(i) prevent recourse to the Assets for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Assets or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by
the Notes or secured by this Indenture until such Assets have been realized. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (i) shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any
Proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Notes or this Indenture, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such
Person or entity. 
 (j) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, each Note delivered under this Indenture and
upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to unpaid interest and principal (or other applicable amount) that were carried by such other Note. 

  
 -85- 

 Section 2.8 Persons Deemed Owners. The Issuer, the Trustee, and any agent of the
Issuer or the Trustee shall treat as the owner of each Note the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Register on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest on such Note and on, other
than as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, any other date for all other purposes whatsoever (whether or not such Note is overdue), and neither the Issuer or the Trustee, or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by
notice to the contrary. 
 Section 2.9 Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or
redemption, or deemed lost or stolen, shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee and may not be reissued or resold. No Note may be surrendered (including any surrender in connection with any abandonment thereof) except for payment as provided herein,
or for registration of transfer or exchange in accordance with this Article II or redemption in accordance with Article IX hereof (and, in the case of Special Redemption, a mandatory redemption pursuant to Section 9.1, or
an Optional Redemption in part by Class, only to the extent that such Special Redemption, mandatory redemption, or Optional Redemption results in payment in full of the applicable Class of Notes), or for replacement in connection with any Note
deemed lost or stolen. The Issuer may not purchase any of the Notes; provided that such prohibition shall not be deemed to limit the Issuer’s rights or obligations relating to any redemption of the Notes permitted or required hereunder.
Any Notes surrendered for cancellation as permitted by this Section 2.9 shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes
canceled as provided in this Section 2.9, 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 shall direct by an Issuer Order received prior to destruction that they be returned to it. 
 Section 2.10 DTC Ceases to be
Depository. (a) A Global Note deposited with DTC pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be transferred in the form of a corresponding Certificated Note to the beneficial owners thereof only if (A) such transfer complies with
Section 2.5 of this Indenture and (B) either (x) (i) DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such Global Note, or (ii) DTC ceases to be a Clearing Agency registered
under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after receiving notice of such event or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such transfer is requested by any
beneficial owner of an interest in such Global Note. 
 (b) Any Global Note that is transferable in the form of a corresponding Certificated
Note to the beneficial owner thereof pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be surrendered by DTC to the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Issuer shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate, or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate, and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive physical certificates (pursuant to
the instructions of DTC) in authorized denominations. Any Certificated Note delivered in 

  
 -86- 

 
exchange for an interest in a Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.5, bear the legends set forth in the applicable
Exhibit A and shall be subject to the transfer restrictions referred to in such legends. 
 (c) Subject to the provisions of sub-Section (b) of this Section 2.10, the Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent
Members, to take any action which such Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. 
 (d) In the event of the occurrence
of any of the events specified in sub-Section (a) of this Section 2.10, the Issuer will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Certificated Notes. 

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

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

Section 2.11 Non-Permitted Holders. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere herein, any transfer of a
beneficial interest in any Note to (i) a U.S. person that is not a QIB/QP (other than, solely in the case of Notes issued as Certificated Notes, a U.S. person that is an Institutional Accredited Investor and is also a Qualified Purchaser (or a
corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (other than a trust), each shareholder, partner, member or other equity owner of which is a Qualified Purchaser)) or (ii) a non-U.S. person that is not a Qualified Purchaser
shall in either case be null and void and any such purported transfer of which the Issuer or the Trustee shall have notice may be disregarded by the Issuer and the Trustee for all purposes. In addition, the acquisition of Notes by a Non-Permitted
Holder under Section 2.11(b) shall be null and void ab initio. 
 (b) If any (i) U.S. person that is not a QIB/QP
(other than, solely in the case of Notes issued as Certificated Notes, a U.S. person that is an Institutional Accredited Investor and is also a Qualified Purchaser (or a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (other than
a trust), each shareholder, partner, member or other equity owner of which is a Qualified Purchaser)) or (ii) non-U.S. person that is not a Qualified Purchaser shall, in either case, become the holder or beneficial owner of an interest in any
Note (any such Person a “Non-Permitted Holder”), the acquisition of such Notes by such holder shall be null and void ab initio. The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall, promptly after discovery

terms and conditions of any sale under this sub-Section shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Collateral Manager shall be liable to any Person having an interest in the Notes sold
as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

any Note or any Interest who has made or is deemed to have made a prohibited transaction, Benefit Plan Investor, Controlling Person, Similar Law or Other Plan Law representation required by Section 2.5 that is subsequently shown to
be false or misleading or whose beneficial ownership otherwise causes a violation of the 25% Limitation (any such Person a “Non-Permitted ERISA Holder”), the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall, promptly
after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder by the Issuer or upon notice to the Issuer from the Trustee (if a trust officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge, in which case the Trustee agrees to notify the Issuer of such
discovery), send notice to such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder transfer all or any portion of the Notes or Interests held by such Person to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder within
10 days after the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder fails to so transfer its interest in such Notes or Interests, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder, to sell such
Non-Permitted ERISA Holder’s interest in such Notes or Interests to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer, or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the
Issuer, may, but is not required to, select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Notes or Interests, as applicable, and selling such
Notes or Interests, as applicable, to the highest such bidder. The holder of each Note or Interest, as applicable, the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder, by its

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 ERISA Holder.
The terms and conditions of any sale under this sub-Section shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Collateral Manager shall be liable to any Person having an interest in the Notes or
Interests sold as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

competent jurisdiction adjudging the Issuer as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of the Issuer under the Bankruptcy Code

  
 -98- 

 
or any other applicable law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, or sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Issuer or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering
the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, respectively, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or 

(g) the institution by the Issuer of Proceedings to have the Issuer adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent of the Issuer to the
institution of bankruptcy or insolvency Proceedings against the Issuer, or the filing by the Issuer of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under the Bankruptcy Code or any other similar applicable law, or the consent by
the Issuer to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment in a Proceeding of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Issuer or of any substantial part of its property, respectively,
or the making by the Issuer of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the Issuer in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of any action by the Issuer in furtherance of any such
action. 
 Upon a Responsible Officer’s obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default, each of (i) the Issuer,
(ii) the Trustee and (iii) the Collateral Manager shall notify each other. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall promptly (and in no event later than three Business Days
thereafter) notify the Noteholders (as their names appear on the Register), each Paying Agent, each of the Rating Agencies and the Irish Stock Exchange (for so long as any Class of Notes is listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and so long as the
guidelines of such exchange so require) of such Event of Default in writing (unless such Event of Default has been waived as provided in Section 5.14). 

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

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

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

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

  
 -99- 

 (B) to the extent that the payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon any
Deferred Interest at the applicable Interest Rate; and 
 (C) all unpaid taxes and Administrative Expenses of the Issuer and
other sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder, accrued and unpaid Aggregate Collateral Management Fees then due and owing and any other amounts then payable by the Issuer hereunder prior to such Administrative Expenses and such Aggregate
Collateral Management Fees; or 
 (ii) It has been determined that all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the
interest on or principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have: 
 (A) been cured; and 

(I) in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e), the Holders of at least a Majority of the
Class A Notes, by written notice to the Trustee, have agreed with such determination (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld); or 

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

(B) been waived as provided in Section 5.14. 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

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

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

If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may, and
shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Section 6.3(e)) upon direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, institute a 

  
 -100- 

 
Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or any other obligor upon the
Notes and collect the Monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Assets. 
 If an Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion, and shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Section 6.3(e)) upon written direction of the Majority of the Controlling Class, proceed to protect and enforce its
rights and the rights of the Secured Parties by such appropriate Proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual (if no such direction is received by the Trustee) or as the Trustee may be directed by the Majority of the Controlling Class,
to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement herein or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the
Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 
 In case there shall be pending Proceedings relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the
Notes under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed
for or taken possession of the Issuer its respective property or such other obligor or its property, or in case of any other comparable Proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or the creditors or property of the Issuer or
such other obligor, the Trustee, regardless of whether the principal of any Note shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and regardless of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 5.3, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise: 
 (a) to
file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes upon direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all reasonable expenses
and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Noteholders allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer or to the creditors or
property of the Issuer; 
 (b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Noteholders upon the direction
of a Majority of the Controlling Class, in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency Proceedings or Person performing similar functions in comparable Proceedings; and

 (c) to collect and receive any Monies or other property payable to or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts
received with respect to the claims of the 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, if the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Noteholders to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents,
attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith. 

  
 -101- 

 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 Noteholders, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholders,
as applicable, in any such Proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person. 
 In any
Proceedings brought by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of the Notes (and any such Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party), 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 except according to the provisions specified in Section 5.5(a). 

Section 5.4 Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Notes have been declared due and
payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Issuer agrees that the Trustee may, and shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Section 6.3(e)), upon written direction of a
Majority of the Controlling Class, 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 or cause the sale of all or a portion of the Assets or rights or interests therein, at one or more public or private
sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law and in accordance with Section 5.17 hereof; 

(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 (including exercising all rights of the Trustee under the Securities Account Control Agreement); and 

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

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

  
 -102- 

 The Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment
banking firm of national reputation (the reasonable cost of which shall be payable as an Administrative Expense) in structuring and distributing securities similar to the Notes, which may be the Initial Purchaser, as to the feasibility of any
action proposed to be taken in accordance with this Section 5.4 and as to the sufficiency of the proceeds and other amounts receivable with respect to the Assets to make the required payments of principal of and interest on the Notes
which opinion shall be conclusive evidence as to such feasibility or sufficiency. 
 (b) If an Event of Default as described in
Section 5.1(d) hereof shall have occurred and be continuing the Trustee may, and at the direction of the Holders of not less than 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall, subject to the terms of this
Indenture (including Section 6.3(e)), institute a Proceeding solely to compel performance of the covenant or agreement or to cure the representation or warranty, the breach of which gave rise to the Event of Default under 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 Secured Party or any Affiliate of the Issuer may bid for and purchase the Assets or any part thereof and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain, possess or dispose of such property
in its or their own absolute right without accountability. 
 Upon any sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue
of judicial Proceedings, the receipt of the 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 Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, shall operate to divest all right, title and interest whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of each of them in and to the property sold, and shall be
a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each of them and their successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming through or under them. 

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

  
 -103- 

 Section 5.5 Optional Preservation of Assets. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein (but subject to the right of the Collateral Manager to direct the Trustee to sell Collateral Obligations or Equity Securities in strict compliance with Section 12.1), if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee shall retain the Assets securing the Notes intact, collect and cause the collection of the proceeds thereof and make and apply all payments at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and deposit and maintain all accounts in
respect of the Assets and the Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the provisions of Article X, Article XII and Article XIII unless: 

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

(ii) in the case of an Event of Default specified in (A) Section 5.1(a) due to failure to pay interest on the
Class A Notes in accordance with Section 11.1(a)(i) or Section 11.1(a)(ii), (B) Section 5.1(e), or (C) Sections 5.1(f) or (g), the Holders of at least a Majority of the Class A
Notes direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets (without regard to whether another Event of Default has occurred prior, contemporaneously or subsequent to such Event of Default); or 

(iii) in the case of any Event of Default, the Holders of at least a Majority of each Class of Notes (voting separately by
Class) direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets. 
 So long as such Event of Default is continuing, any such retention pursuant to this
Section 5.5(a) may be rescinded at any time when the conditions specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) exist. 
 (b)
Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee to sell the Assets securing the Notes if the conditions set forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 5.5(a) are not satisfied.
Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee to preserve the Assets securing the Notes if prohibited by applicable law. 

(c) In determining whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to
obtain, with the cooperation of the Collateral Manager, bid prices with respect to each Asset from two nationally recognized dealers (as specified by the Collateral Manager in writing) at the time making a market in such Assets and shall
compute the anticipated proceeds of sale or liquidation on the basis of the lower of such bid prices for each such Asset. In the event that the Trustee, with the cooperation of the Collateral Manager, is only able to obtain bid prices with respect
to each Asset from one nationally recognized dealer at the time making a market in such Assets, the Trustee shall compute the anticipated proceeds of the 

  
 -104- 

 
sale or liquidation on the basis of such one bid price for each such Asset. In addition, for the purposes of determining issues relating to the execution of a sale or liquidation of the Assets
and the execution of a sale or other liquidation thereof in connection with a determination whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Trustee may retain and rely on an opinion of an Independent investment
banking firm of national reputation (the cost of which shall be payable as an Administrative Expense). 
 The Trustee shall deliver to the
Noteholders and the Collateral Manager a report stating the results of any determination required pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i) no later than 10 days after such determination is made. The Trustee shall make the determinations
required by Section 5.5(a)(i) within 30 days after an Event of Default and at the request of a Majority of the Controlling Class at any time during which the Trustee retains the Assets pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i). 

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, and any recovery of judgment shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7 hereof. 

Section 5.7 Application of Money Collected. Any Money collected by the Trustee with respect to the Notes pursuant to this
Article V and any Money that may then be held or thereafter received by the Trustee with respect to the Notes hereunder shall be applied, subject to Section 13.1 and in accordance with the provisions of
Section 11.1(a)(iii), at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee. Upon the final distribution of all proceeds of any liquidation effected hereunder, the provisions of Section 4.1(a) and Section 4.1(b) shall be
deemed satisfied for the purposes of discharging this Indenture pursuant to Article IV. 
 Section 5.8 Limitation on
Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any Proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 

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

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

(c) the Trustee, for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and provision of such indemnity, has failed to institute any such
Proceeding; and 
 (d) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 30-day period by a
Majority of the Controlling Class; it being understood and 

  
 -105- 

 
intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of any other Holders of Notes of the same Class or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders of the Notes of the same Class or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein
provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Notes of the same Class subject to and in accordance with Section 13.1 and the Priority of Payments. 

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

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

Section 5.10 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any 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 Trustee and the Noteholder
shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Issuer, Trustee and the Noteholder 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 any Holder of Notes to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall 

  
 -106- 

 
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein or of a subsequent Event of Default. Every right and remedy given by this Article
V or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Notes may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of the Notes. 

Section 5.13 Control by Majority of Controlling Class. A Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right following the
occurrence, and during the continuance of, an Event of Default to cause the institution of and direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Trustee under this Indenture; provided that: 
 (a) such direction shall not conflict with any rule of law or with any express
provision of this Indenture; 
 (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such
direction; provided that subject to Section 6.1, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or expense (unless the Trustee has received the indemnity as set forth in (c) below); 

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

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

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

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

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

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

(d) in respect of a representation contained in Section 7.19. 

In the case of any such waiver, the 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 each of the Rating Agencies, the

  
 -107- 

 
Collateral Manager and each Holder. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of
this Indenture. 
 Section 5.15 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such
Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, or
omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party
litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit
instituted by any 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 on or after the applicable Stated Maturity (or, in the case of redemption which has resulted in an Event of Default, on or after the applicable Redemption Date). 

Section 5.16 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will
not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any valuation, appraisement, redemption or marshalling law or rights, in each case wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants set forth in, the performance of, or any remedies under this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of
any such law or rights, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted or rights
created. 
 Section 5.17 Sale of Assets. (a) The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion
of the Assets pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5 shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of such Assets remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Assets shall have been sold or all amounts
secured by the Assets shall have been paid. The Trustee may upon notice to the Noteholders, and shall, upon direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, from time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of
such Sale. The Trustee hereby expressly waives its rights to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale; provided that the Trustee shall be authorized to deduct the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by it in connection
with such Sale from the proceeds thereof notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7 or other applicable terms hereof. 
 (b)
The Trustee may bid for and acquire any portion of the Assets 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 in the case of the Assets or other amounts secured
by the Assets, all or part of the net proceeds of such Sale after deducting the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such Sale notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7 hereof or other
applicable terms hereof. The Notes need not be produced in order to 

  
 -108- 

 
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. 

(d) The Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Assets in
connection with a Sale thereof, without recourse, representation or warranty. In addition, the Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney in fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Assets in
connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale. No purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee’s authority, to inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or
see to the application of any Monies. 
 Section 5.18 Action on the Notes. The Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment
on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking or obtaining of or application for any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Trustee or
the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Assets or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. 

ARTICLE VI 
 THE TRUSTEE

 Section 6.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default known to
the Trustee: 
 (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth herein,
and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (ii) in the absence of
bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture; provided that in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or
not they substantially conform to the requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly, but in any event within three Business Days in the case of an Officer’s certificate furnished by the Collateral Manager, notify the party delivering the
same if such certificate or opinion does not conform. 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 such other percentage as permitted by this Indenture, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of
care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs. 

(c) No provision 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 sub-Section shall not be construed to limit the
effect of sub-Section (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 or the Collateral Manager in accordance with this Indenture and/or a Majority (or such other percentage as may be required by the terms hereof) of the Controlling Class (or other Class if required or permitted
by the terms hereof), relating to the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; 

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

(v) in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage (including lost
profits) even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of such action. 
 (d) For all purposes
under this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default described in Sections 5.1(c), (d), (e), or (f) unless a Trust Officer assigned to and working in
the Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such an Event of Default or Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Notes
generally, the Issuer, the Assets or this Indenture. For purposes of determining the Trustee’s responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is made herein to such an Event of Default or a Default, such reference shall be construed
to refer only to such an Event of Default or Default of which the Trustee is deemed to have notice as described in this Section 6.1. 

  
 -110- 

 (e) Upon the Trustee receiving written notice from the Collateral Manager stating that an event
constituting “Cause” as defined in the Collateral Management Agreement has occurred, the Trustee shall, not later than five Business Days thereafter, forward such notice to the Noteholders (as their names appear in the Register).

affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1. 
 Section 6.2 Notice of
Event of Default. Promptly (and in no event later than three Business Days) after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee or after any declaration of acceleration has been made or delivered to
the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.2, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Collateral Manager, each Rating Agency, all Holders (as their names and addresses appear on the Register) and to the Irish Stock Exchange, for so long as any
Class of Notes is listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and so long as the guidelines of such exchange so require, notice of all Event of Defaults hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived. 

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

(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate,

investment bankers or other Persons qualified to provide the information required to make such determination, including nationally recognized dealers in Assets of the type being valued, securities quotation services, loan pricing services and loan
valuation agents; 
 (d) as a condition to the taking or omitting of any action by it hereunder, the Trustee may consult with counsel and

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

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

  
 -112- 

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

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

(m) in the event the Bank is also acting in the capacity of Paying Agent, Registrar, Transfer Agent, Custodian, Calculation Agent or
Securities Intermediary, the rights, protections, benefits, immunities and indemnities afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall also be afforded to the Bank acting in such capacities; provided that such rights,
protections, benefits, immunities and indemnities shall be in addition to any rights, immunities and indemnities provided in the Securities Account Control Agreement or any other documents to which the Bank in such capacity is a party;

(o) the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of this Indenture or otherwise; 

(p) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter unless a Trust Officer has actual knowledge thereof or unless
written notice thereof is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office and such notice references the Notes generally, the Issuer or this Indenture. Whenever reference is made herein to a Default or an Event of Default such reference shall,
insofar as determining any liability on the part of the Trustee is concerned, be construed to refer only to a Default or an Event of Default of which the Trustee is deemed to have knowledge in accordance with this paragraph; 

(q) the Trustee shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from circumstances beyond its control (such

individual or entity who is establishing the relationship or opening the account. The Trustee may also ask for formation documents such as organizational documents, an offering memorandum, or other identifying documents to be provided; 

(s) in making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to deal with itself (in its individual
capacity) or with any one or more of its Affiliates, in each case on an arm’s-length basis, whether it or such Affiliate is acting as a subagent of the Trustee or for any third party or dealing as principal for its own account. If otherwise
qualified, obligations of the Bank or any of its Affiliates shall qualify as Eligible Investments hereunder; 
 (t) the Trustee or its
Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or subcustodian

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 Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture (except

their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar or such other agent. 

  
 -114- 

 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 to the extent of income or other gain on investments which are deposits in or certificates of deposit of the Bank

reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture or other Transaction Document (including, without limitation, securities transaction charges and the reasonable
compensation and expenses and disbursements of its agents and legal counsel and of any accounting firm or investment banking firm employed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.4, 5.5, 6.3(c) or 10.8, except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) but with respect to securities transaction charges, only to the extent any such charges have not been waived during a Collection Period
due to the Trustee’s receipt of a payment from a financial institution with respect to certain Eligible Investments, as specified by the Collateral Manager; 

(iii) to indemnify the Trustee and its Officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any
loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or

any of the Transaction Documents to which the Trustee is a party only as provided in Sections 11.1(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) but only to the extent that funds are available for the payment thereof. Subject to
Section 6.9, the Trustee shall continue to serve as Trustee under this Indenture notwithstanding the fact that the Trustee shall not have received amounts due it hereunder; provided that nothing herein shall impair or affect the
Trustee’s rights under Section 6.9. No direction by the Noteholders shall affect the right of the 

  
 -115- 

 
Trustee to collect amounts owed to it under this Indenture. If, on any date when a fee or an expense shall be payable to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, insufficient funds are available
for the payment thereof, any portion of a fee or an expense not so paid shall be deferred and payable on such later date on which a fee or an expense shall be payable and sufficient funds are available therefor. 

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

(d) The Issuer’s payment obligations to the Trustee under this Section 6.7 shall be secured by the lien of this Indenture
payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 

Section 6.8 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be an Independent
organization or entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
U.S.$200,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, having a rating of at least “Baa1” by Moody’s and (to the extent that Fitch is rating any Notes then Outstanding) a short-term credit rating of at
least “F1” and a long-term credit rating of at least “A” by Fitch and having an office within the United States, and who makes the representations contained in Section 6.17. If such organization or entity publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.8, the combined capital and surplus of such organization or
entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent published report of condition. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.8, it
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VI. 
 Section 6.9
Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by
the successor Trustee under Section 6.10. 
 (b) Subject to Section 6.9(a), the Trustee may not resign except upon
(i) the Trustee’s determination that (A) the performance of its duties hereunder is or becomes impermissible under applicable law and (B) there is no reasonable action that the Trustee could take to make the performance of its
duties hereunder permissible under applicable law or (ii) obtaining the prior written consent of the Collateral Manager prior to an Event of Default or the prior written consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class after an Event of Default
(in each case, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, in the case of any resignation pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, the Trustee shall give prompt notice of such resignation to the Issuer,
the Collateral Manager, the Holders of the Notes, the holders of the Interests, and each Rating Agency. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Trustee shall be evidenced as to clause (i) above by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect delivered to the 

  
 -116- 

 
Collateral Manager and each Lender. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees satisfying the requirements of
Section 6.8 by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by a Responsible Officer of the Issuer, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee so resigning and one copy to the successor Trustee or Trustees, together with a
copy to each Holder of the Notes, each holder of the Interests and the Collateral Manager; provided that such successor Trustee shall be appointed only upon the Act of a Majority of the Notes of each Class or, at any time when an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, by an Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class. If no successor Trustee shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee
within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or any Holder, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 6.8. 
 (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of a Majority of the
Controlling Class and a Majority of each other Class of Notes or, at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing by an Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class, delivered to the Trustee and to the Issuer. 

(d) If at any time: 

(i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.8 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Issuer or by any Holder; or 
 (ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged as
bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation; 
 then, in any such case (subject to Section 6.9(a)), (A) the Issuer, by Issuer Order, may remove the Trustee, or
(B) subject to Section 5.15, any Holder may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

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

  
 -117- 

 (f) The Issuer shall give prompt notice of each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a
successor Trustee by mailing written notice of such event by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Collateral Manager, to each Rating Agency, to the Holders of the Notes as their names and addresses appear in the Register and to the holders of
the Interests. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. If the Issuer fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor
Trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Issuer. 
 Section 6.10 Acceptance of Appointment by
Successor. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall meet the requirements of Section 6.8, shall make the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.17, and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Issuer and the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment. Upon delivery of the required instruments, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Issuer or a Majority of any Class of Notes 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. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such
rights, powers and trusts. 
 Section 6.11 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Trustee. Any
organization or entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any organization or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
organization or entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided that such organization or entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible
under this Article VI, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any of the Notes has been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor
by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. 

Section 6.12 Co-Trustees. At any time or times, 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 and the Trustee shall have power to appoint one or more Persons to act as co-trustee (subject to satisfaction of the Global Rating Agency Condition), jointly with the Trustee, of all or any
part of the Assets, with the power to file such proofs of claim and take such other actions pursuant to Section 5.6 herein and to make such claims and enforce such rights of action on behalf of the Holders, as such Holders
themselves may have the right to do, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.12. 
 The Issuer shall join with the
Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint a co-trustee. If the Issuer does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by them of a request to do so, the
Trustee shall have the power to make such appointment. 

  
 -118- 

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

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

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

(b) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Trustee in respect of any property covered by the
appointment of a co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee jointly as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee; 

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

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

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

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

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

Section 6.13 Certain Duties of Trustee Related to Delayed Payment of Proceeds. If the Trustee shall not have received a payment
with respect to any Asset on its Due Date, (a) the Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Collateral Manager in writing and (b) unless within three Business Days (or the end of the applicable grace period for such payment, if
any) after such notice (x) such payment shall have been received by the Trustee or (y) the Issuer, in its absolute discretion (but only to the extent permitted by Section 10.2(a)), shall have made provision for such
payment satisfactory to the Trustee in accordance with Section 10.2(a), the Trustee shall, not later than the Business Day immediately following the last day of such period and in any case upon request by the Collateral Manager, request
the issuer of such Asset, the 

  
 -119- 

 
trustee under the related Underlying Document or a paying agent designated by either of them, as the case may be, to make such payment not later than three Business Days after the date of such
request. If such payment is not made within such time period, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of clause (iv) of Section 6.1(c), shall take such action as the Collateral Manager shall direct. Any such action shall be without
prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture. If the Issuer or the Collateral Manager requests a release of an Asset and/or delivers an additional Collateral Obligation or a Substitute Collateral Obligation in
connection with any such action under the Collateral Management Agreement or under this Indenture, such release and/or substitution shall be subject to Section 10.9 and Article XII of this Indenture, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer or its designee any payment with respect to any Asset or any additional Collateral Obligation or Substitute Collateral Obligation received after the Due Date thereof
to the extent the Issuer previously made provisions for such payment satisfactory to the Trustee in accordance with this Section 6.13 and such payment shall not be deemed part of the Assets. 

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

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

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

  
 -120- 

 Unless the Authenticating Agent is also the same entity as the Trustee, the Issuer agrees to pay
to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating thereto as an Administrative Expense. The provisions of Sections 2.8, 6.4 and
6.5 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent. 
 Section 6.15 Withholding. If any withholding tax is imposed
by applicable law on the Issuer’s payment (or allocations of income) under the Notes, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the relevant Holder. The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts
otherwise distributable to any Holder sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally owed or required to be withheld by the Issuer (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate
proceedings and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings) or may be withheld because of a failure by a Holder to provide any information required under Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446 and
1471-1474 of the Code or any other provisions of any applicable law and to timely remit such amounts to the appropriate taxing authority. The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to any Note shall be treated as Cash distributed to the
relevant Holder at the time it is withheld by the Trustee. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution, the Paying Agent or the Trustee may, in its sole discretion, withhold such amounts in accordance
with this Section 6.15. If any Holder or beneficial owner wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with such Person in providing readily available information so long as such Person
agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred. Nothing herein shall impose an obligation on the part of the Trustee to determine the amount of any tax or withholding obligation on the part of the Issuer or in respect of the
Notes. 
 Section 6.16 Fiduciary for Noteholders Only; Agent for each other Secured Party. With respect to the security interest
created hereunder, the delivery of any item of Asset to the Trustee is to the Trustee as representative of the Noteholders and agent for each other Secured Party. In furtherance of the foregoing, the possession by the Trustee of any Asset, and the
endorsement to or registration in the name of the Trustee of any Asset (including without limitation as entitlement holder of the Custodial Account) are all undertaken by the Trustee in its capacity as representative of the Noteholders, and
agent for each other Secured Party. 
 Section 6.17 Representations and Warranties of the Bank. The Bank hereby represents and
warrants as follows, in its individual capacity and in its capacities as described below (and any Person that becomes a successor Trustee pursuant to Sections 6.9, 6.10, or 6.11, or a co-trustee pursuant to
Section 6.12, represents and warrants as follows in its individual capacity and in its capacity as Trustee where applicable):

 (d) No Conflict. Neither the execution, delivery and performance of
this Indenture, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture, (i) is prohibited by, or requires the Bank to obtain any consent, authorization, approval or registration under, any law, statute, rule, regulation,

imposition of any lien pursuant to, or require any consent under, any material agreement to which the Bank is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound. 

(e) Non-Affiliated. The Trustee is not affiliated, as that term is defined under Rule 405 under the Securities Act, with the Issuer or
with any Person involved in the organization or operation of the Issuer. 
 (f) Qualified Institutions. The Trustee meets the
requirements of Rule 3a-7(a)(4)(i) under the 1940 Act.

ARTICLE VII 
 COVENANTS

 Section 7.1 Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on
the Notes, in accordance with the terms of such Notes and this Indenture pursuant to the Priority of Payments. The Issuer will, to the extent funds are available pursuant to the Priority of Payments, duly and punctually pay all required
distributions on the Interests, in accordance with the Issuer Limited Liability Company Agreement and this Indenture. 
 Amounts properly
withheld under the Code or other applicable law by any Person from a payment under a Note shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer to the relevant Holder for all purposes of this Indenture. 

  
 -122- 

 Section 7.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee
as a Paying Agent for payments on the Notes, and appoints the Trustee as Transfer Agent at its applicable Corporate Trust Office as the Issuer’s agent where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Issuer hereby
appoints, for so long as any Class of Notes is listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, Maples and Calder, Dublin Office (the “Irish Listing Agent”) as listing agent in Ireland with respect to the Listed Notes. 

The Issuer may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of any such agent or appoint any additional agents for any
or all of such purposes and no paying agent shall be appointed in a jurisdiction which subjects payments on the Notes to withholding tax solely as a result of such Paying Agent’s activities. The Issuer shall at all times maintain a duplicate
copy of the Register at the Corporate Trust Office. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee, each Rating Agency and the Holders of the appointment or termination of any such agent and of the location and any change in the location
of any such office or agency. 
 If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency, or shall fail to
furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, presentations and surrenders may be made (subject to the limitations described in the preceding paragraph) at, notices and demands may be served on the Issuer, and Notes may be presented and
surrendered for payment to the appropriate Paying Agent at its main office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the same as their agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 

Section 7.3 Money for 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 by the Trustee or a Paying Agent with respect to payments on the Notes. 

When the Issuer shall have a Paying Agent that is not also the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, no
later than the fifth calendar day after each Record Date a list, if necessary, in such form as such Paying Agent may reasonably request, of the names and addresses of the Holders and of the certificate numbers of individual Notes held by each such
Holder. 
 Whenever the Issuer shall have a Paying Agent other than the Trustee, the Issuer shall, on or before the Business Day next
preceding each Payment Date and on any Redemption Date, as the case may be, direct the Trustee to deposit on such Payment Date or such Redemption Date, as the case may be, with such Paying Agent, if necessary, an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the
amounts then becoming due (to the extent funds are then available for such purpose in the Payment Account), such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer
shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. Any 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 XI. 
 The
initial Paying Agent shall be as set forth in Section 7.2. Any additional or successor Paying Agents shall be appointed by Issuer Order with written notice thereof to the Trustee; 

  
 -123- 

 
provided that so long as the Notes of any Class are rated by Moody’s or Fitch, as applicable, with respect to any additional or successor Paying Agent, either (i) such Paying
Agent has a long-term debt rating of “A1” or higher by Moody’s or a short-term debt rating of “P-1” by Moody’s and (to the extent that Fitch is rating any Notes then Outstanding)
a short-term credit rating of at least “F1” and a long-term credit rating of at least “A” by Fitch or (ii) the Global Rating Agency Condition is satisfied. If such successor Paying Agent ceases to have the ratings described
in the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer shall promptly remove such Paying Agent and appoint a successor Paying Agent. The Issuer shall not appoint any Paying Agent that is not, at the time of such appointment, a depository institution or
trust company subject to supervision and examination by federal and/or state and/or national banking authorities. The Issuer shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee and if the Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3, that such Paying Agent will: 

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

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

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

(d) if such Paying Agent is not the Trustee, immediately give the Trustee notice of any default by the Issuer in the making of any
payment required to be made; and 
 (e) if such Paying Agent is not the Trustee, during the continuance of any such default, upon the
written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 
 The Issuer may at any time,
for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer or such Paying Agent, such sums to be
held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with
respect to such Money. 
 Except as otherwise required by applicable law, any Money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust
for any payment on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Order; and 

  
 -124- 

 
the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment of such amounts (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the
Issuer) and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust Money shall thereupon cease. The Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such release of payment, may, but shall not be required
to, adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer any reasonable means of notification of such release of payment, including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such release to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered
for redemption or whose right to or interest in Monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record of each such Holder. 

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

 (b) The Issuer (i) shall ensure that all limited liability company or other formalities regarding its existence are followed, except
where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, or any of the Assets, and (ii) shall not have any employees (other than its officers,
if any, and managers to the extent such officers or managers might be considered employees). The Issuer shall not take any action, or conduct its affairs in a manner, that is likely to result in its separate existence being ignored or in its assets
and liabilities being substantively consolidated with any other Person in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) the Issuer shall not have any subsidiaries, and (ii) except to the
extent contemplated in the Issuer Limited Liability Company Agreement (x) the Issuer shall not (A) except as contemplated by the Offering Circular, any Transaction Document or the Issuer Limited Liability Company Agreement, engage in any
transaction with any affiliate that would constitute a conflict of interest or (B) make distributions other than in accordance with the applicable terms of this Indenture and the Issuer Limited Liability Company Agreement, and (y) the
Issuer shall, except when otherwise required for consolidated accounting purposes or tax purposes, (A) maintain books and records separate from any other Person, (B) maintain its accounts separate from those of any other Person,
(C) except with respect to the Concentration Account, not commingle its assets with those of any other Person, (D) conduct its own business in its own name, (E) maintain separate financial statements, (F) pay its own liabilities
out of its own funds, (G) maintain an arm’s length relationship with its Affiliates, (H) use separate stationery, invoices and checks, (I) hold itself out as a separate Person, (J) correct any known misunderstanding
regarding its separate identity and (K) have at least one Independent Manager.

 Section 7.5 Protection of Assets. (a) The Collateral Manager on behalf of the
Issuer will cause the taking of such action within the Collateral Manager’s control as is reasonably necessary in order to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Trustee in the Assets; provided that the
Collateral Manager shall be entitled to rely on any Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to Section 7.6 and any Opinion of Counsel with respect to the same subject matter delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(c) to determine
what actions are reasonably necessary, and shall be fully protected in so relying on such an Opinion of Counsel, unless the Collateral Manager has actual knowledge that the procedures described in any such Opinion of Counsel are no longer adequate
to maintain such perfection and priority. The Issuer shall from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and file or authorize the filing of all such Financing Statements, continuation statements, instruments of
further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action as may be necessary or advisable or desirable to secure the rights and remedies of the Holders of the Notes hereunder and to: 

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

(ii) maintain, preserve and perfect any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture including, without limitation, the first
priority nature of the lien or carry out more effectively the purposes hereof; 
 (iii) perfect, publish notice of or protect
the validity of any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture (including, without limitation, any and all actions necessary or desirable as a result of changes in law or regulations); 

(iv) enforce any of the Assets or other instruments or property included in the Assets; 

(v) preserve and defend title to the Assets and the rights therein of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in
the Assets against the claims of all Persons and parties; or 
 (vi) pay or cause to be paid any and all taxes levied or
assessed upon all or any part of the Assets. 
 The Issuer hereby designates the Trustee as its agent and attorney in fact to prepare and file and hereby
authorizes the filing of any Financing Statement, continuation statement and all other instruments, and take all other actions, required pursuant to this Section 7.5. Such designation shall not impose upon the Trustee, or release or
diminish, the Issuer’s and the Collateral Manager’s obligations under this Section 7.5. The Issuer further authorizes and shall cause the Issuer’s counsel to file without the Issuer’s signature an initial Financing
Statement on the Closing Date that names the Issuer as debtor and the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as secured party and that describes “all personal property of the Debtor now owned or hereafter acquired” as the Assets in
which the Trustee has a Grant. 

  
 -126- 

 (b) The Trustee shall not, except in accordance with Section 5.5 or
Section 10.9(a), (b) and (c), as applicable, permit the removal of any portion of the Assets or transfer any such Assets from the Account to which it is credited, or cause or permit any change in the Delivery made
pursuant to Section 3.3 with respect to any Assets, if, after giving effect thereto, the jurisdiction governing the perfection of the Trustee’s security interest in such Assets is different from the jurisdiction governing the
perfection at the time of delivery of the most recent Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 7.6 (or, if no Opinion of Counsel has yet been delivered pursuant to Section 7.6, the Opinion of Counsel delivered at the
Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.1(c)) unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the lien and security interest created by this Indenture with respect to such property and the priority thereof
will continue to be maintained after giving effect to such action or actions. 
 Section 7.6 Opinions as to Assets. On or before
each five-year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee and each Rating Agency an Opinion of Counsel relating to the continued perfection of the security interest granted by the Issuer to the Trustee, stating that, as
of the date of such opinion, the lien and security interest created by this Indenture with respect to the Assets remain perfected and that no further action (other than as specified in such opinion) needs to be taken to ensure the continued
perfection of such lien over the next five years. 
 Section 7.7 Performance of Obligations. (a) The Issuer shall not take
any action, and will use its best efforts not to permit any action to be taken by others, that would release any Person from any of such Person’s covenants or obligations under any instrument included in the Assets, except in the case of
enforcement action taken with respect to any Defaulted Obligation in accordance with the provisions hereof and actions by the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement and in conformity therewith or with this Indenture, as
applicable, or as otherwise required hereby or deemed necessary or advisable by the Collateral Manager in accordance with the Collateral Management Agreement. 

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

(ii) claim any credit on, make any deduction from, or dispute the enforceability of payment of the principal or interest
payable (or any other amount) in respect of the Notes (other than amounts withheld or deducted in accordance with the Code or any applicable laws of any jurisdiction);

 (iii) (A) incur or assume or guarantee any indebtedness, other than the
Notes, this Indenture and the transactions contemplated hereby or (B)(1) issue any additional class of Notes except in accordance with Section 2.13 and 3.2 or (2) issue any additional Interests, except in accordance with
the Issuer Limited Liability Company Agreement, other than in connection with a Refinancing; 
 (iv) (A) permit the
validity or effectiveness of this Indenture or any Grant hereunder to be impaired, or permit the lien of this Indenture to be amended, hypothecated, subordinated, terminated or discharged, or permit any Person to be released from any covenants or
obligations with respect to this Indenture or the Notes except as may be permitted hereby or by the Collateral Management Agreement, (B) except as permitted by this Indenture, permit any lien, charge, adverse claim, security interest, mortgage
or other encumbrance (other than the lien of this Indenture) to be created on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden any part of the Assets, any interest therein or the proceeds thereof, or (C) except as permitted by this
Indenture, take any action that would permit the lien of this Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority security interest in the Assets; 

(v) amend the Collateral Management Agreement except pursuant to the terms thereof and Article XV of this Indenture;

 (vi) dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part, except as permitted hereunder or required by applicable law;

commitment to do so or enter into or engage in any business with respect to any part of the Assets, except as expressly permitted by both this Indenture and the Collateral Management Agreement; and 

(xii) fail to maintain an Independent Manager under the Issuer Limited Liability Company Agreement. 

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

  
 -128- 

 (c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Issuer may not acquire any of
the Notes; provided that this Section 7.8(c) shall not be deemed to limit any redemption pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 

Section 7.9 Statement as to Compliance. On or before March 31st in each calendar year commencing in 2017, or promptly after a
Responsible Officer of the Issuer becomes aware thereof if there has been a Default under this Indenture and prior to the issuance of any additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.13, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (to be forwarded
by the Trustee to the Collateral Manager, each Noteholder making a written request therefor and each Rating Agency) a Responsible Officer’s certificate of the Issuer that, having made reasonable inquiries of the Collateral Manager, and to
the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Issuer, there did not exist, as at a date not more than five days prior to the date of the certificate, nor had there existed at any time prior thereto since the date of the last certificate
(if any), any Default hereunder or, if such Default did then exist or had existed, specifying the same and the nature and status thereof, including actions undertaken to remedy the same, and that the Issuer has complied with all of its obligations
under this Indenture or, if such is not the case, specifying those obligations with which it has not complied. 
 Section 7.10 The
Issuer May Consolidate, etc. The Issuer (the “Merging Entity”) shall not consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or, except as permitted under this Indenture, transfer or convey all or substantially all of its
assets to any Person, unless permitted by United States and Delaware law and unless: 
 (a) the Merging Entity shall be the surviving

Entity”) (A) if the Merging Entity is the Issuer, shall be a company organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware or such other jurisdiction approved by a Majority of the Controlling Class; provided that no
such approval shall be required in connection with any such transaction undertaken solely to effect a change in the jurisdiction of incorporation pursuant to Section 7.4, and (B) shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental
hereto and an omnibus assumption agreement, executed and delivered to the Trustee, each Holder and the Collateral Manager, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all Notes, the payments on the Interests and the performance

(b) the Global Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied; 

(c) if the Merging Entity is not the Successor Entity, the Successor Entity shall have agreed with the Trustee (i) to observe the same
legal requirements for the recognition of such formed or surviving entity as a legal entity separate and apart from any of its Affiliates as are applicable to the Merging Entity with respect to its Affiliates and (ii) not to consolidate or
merge with or into any other Person or, except as permitted by this Indenture, transfer or convey the Assets or all or substantially all of its assets to any other Person except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.10;

  
 -129-

to the Trustee and each Rating Agency an Officer’s certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such Person is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing in the jurisdiction in which such Person is organized; that such
Person has sufficient power and authority to assume the obligations set forth in sub-Section (a) above and to execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and an omnibus assumption agreement
for the purpose of assuming such obligations; that such Person has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of a supplemental indenture hereto and an omnibus assumption agreement for the purpose of assuming such obligations and that
such supplemental indenture is a valid, legal and binding obligation of such Person, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject only to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); 

(e) if the Merging Entity is the Issuer, that, immediately following the event which causes such Successor Entity to become the successor to
the Issuer, (i) such Successor Entity has title, free and clear of any lien, security interest or charge, other than the lien and security interest of this Indenture and any other Permitted Liens, to the Assets securing all of the Notes and
(ii) the Trustee continues to have a valid perfected first priority security interest in the Assets securing all of the Notes; and in each case as to such other matters as the Trustee or any Noteholder may reasonably require; provided

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 in accordance with Section 7.10 in which the Merging Entity is not the surviving entity, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Merging
Entity under this Indenture with the same effect as if such Person had been named as the Issuer herein. In the event of any such consolidation, merger, transfer or conveyance, the Person named as the “Issuer” in the first paragraph of this
Indenture or any successor which shall theretofore 

  
 -130- 

 
have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article VII may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter, and such Person thereafter shall be released, without
further action by any Person, from its liabilities as obligor and maker on all the Notes and from its obligations under this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. 

Section 7.12 No Other Business. The Issuer shall not have any employees (other than its officers, if any, and managers to the

maintain the listing of such Notes on the Irish Stock Exchange. 
 Section 7.14 Annual Rating Review. (a) So long as any of
the Notes of any Class remain Outstanding (or, in the case of Fitch, the Class A Notes only), on or before March 17, 2017, the Issuer shall request and pay for an annual review of the rating of each such Class of Notes from each Rating
Agency, as applicable. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Collateral Manager in writing (and the Trustee shall promptly provide the Holders with a copy of such notice) if at any time the Issuer is notified or has actual
knowledge that the then-current rating of any such Class of Notes has been, or is known will be, changed or withdrawn. 
 (b) The Issuer
shall request and pay for an annual review of (i) any Collateral Obligation that has a Moody’s Rating or a Moody’s Default Probability Rating derived as set forth in subclauses (b)(iii) or (b)(v) under the heading “Moody’s
Derived Rating” in Schedule 4, (ii) to the extent that Fitch is rating any Notes then Outstanding, any middle market loan that has a Fitch Rating determined pursuant to clause (e) under the heading “Fitch Rating”

Note, the Issuer shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule 144A Information to such Holder or beneficial owner, to a prospective purchaser of such Note designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, or to the Trustee for delivery upon an
Issuer Order to such Holder or beneficial owner or a prospective purchaser designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, in order to permit compliance by such Holder or beneficial owner with Rule 144A under the Securities Act in

 Section 7.16 Calculation Agent. (a) The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as
any Notes remain Outstanding there will at all times be an agent appointed by the Issuer (which does not control or is not controlled or under common control with the Issuer or its Affiliates or the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates) to calculate
LIBOR in respect of each Interest Accrual Period in accordance with the terms of Exhibit C hereto (the “Calculation Agent”). The Issuer hereby appoints the Bank as Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent may be removed
by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, the Issuer or the
Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, will promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer or its Affiliates or the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates
and provide notice thereof to the Trustee. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties or be removed without a successor having been duly appointed. For so long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the guidelines of such
exchange so require, notice of the appointment of any successor Calculation Agent shall be sent by the Trustee to the Irish Listing Agent for release to the Irish Stock Exchange. 

(b) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree (and the Trustee as Calculation Agent does hereby agree) that, as soon as possible
after 11:00 a.m. London time on each Interest Determination Date, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. New York time on the London Banking Day immediately following each Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will calculate the Interest
Rate applicable to each Class of Floating Rate Notes during the related Interest Accrual Period and the Note Interest Amount (in each case, rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upward) payable on the related Payment Date in
respect of such Class of Notes in respect of the related Interest Accrual Period. At such time, the Calculation Agent will communicate such rates and amounts to the Issuer, the Trustee, each Paying Agent, the Collateral Manager, Euroclear and
Clearstream. The Calculation Agent will also specify to the Issuer the quotations upon which the foregoing rates and amounts are based, and in any event the Calculation Agent shall notify the Issuer before 5:00 p.m. New York time on every
Interest Determination Date if it has not determined and is not in the process of determining any such Interest Rate or Note Interest Amount together with its reasons therefor. The Calculation Agent’s determination of the foregoing rates
and amounts for any Interest Accrual Period will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties. 

Section 7.17 Certain Tax Matters. (a) The Issuer has not elected and will not elect to be treated as an association taxable
as a corporation for U.S. federal, state or local income or franchise tax purposes and shall make any election necessary to avoid classification as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal, state or local income or franchise tax
purposes. 
 (b) Except during such time as the Issuer is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal, state or local income tax purposes, as
applicable, the Issuer will treat each purchase of Collateral Obligations as a “purchase” for tax accounting and reporting purposes. 

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

  
 -132- 

 (d) If the Issuer has purchased an interest and the Issuer is aware that such interest is a
“reportable transaction” within the meaning of Section 6011 of the Code, and a Holder of any Interest or Note that is required to be treated as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes requests in writing information about any such
transactions in which the Issuer is an investor, the Issuer shall provide, or cause its Independent accountants to provide, such information it has reasonably available that is required to be obtained by such Holder under the Code as soon as
practicable after such request. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Manager, the Issuer, the Trustee, the
Initial Purchaser, the Holders and beneficial owners of the Notes and each employee, representative or other agent of those Persons, may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and tax structure of the
transactions contemplated by this Indenture and all materials of any kind, including opinions or other tax analyses, that are provided to those Persons. This authorization to disclose the U.S. tax treatment and tax structure does not permit
disclosure of information identifying the Collateral Manager, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Initial Purchaser or any other party to the transactions contemplated by this Indenture, the Offering or the pricing (except to the extent such information is
relevant to U.S. tax structure or tax treatment of such transactions). 
 (f) Upon the Issuer’s receipt of a request of a Holder of a
Note that has been issued with more than de minimis “original issue discount” (as defined in Section 1273 of the Code) or written request of a Person certifying that it is an owner of a beneficial interest in a Note that has
been issued with more than de minimis “original issue discount” for the information described in United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-3(b)(1)(i) that is applicable to such Note, the Issuer will cause its Independent
certified public accountants to provide promptly to the Trustee and such requesting Holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such a Note all of such information. Any additional issuance of additional Notes shall be accomplished in a manner that
shall allow the Independent accountants of the Issuer to accurately provide the tax information relating to original issue discount required to be provided to the holders of the Notes (including the additional Notes). 

(g) If required to prevent the withholding and imposition of United States income tax on payments made to the Issuer, the Issuer shall deliver
or cause to be delivered an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or applicable successor form certifying as to the U.S. Tax Person status of the Issuer to the issuer or obligor of or counterparty with respect to an Asset at the time such Asset is
purchased or entered into by the Issuer and thereafter prior to the obsolescence or expiration of such form. 
 (h) Any Class D Notes owned
by the Retention Holder (“Retained Class D Notes”) and any Class E Notes owned by the Retention Holder shall not be transferred by the Retention Holder to another Person unless the Issuer will continue to be able to accurately
provide the tax information that this Indenture requires the Issuer to provide to Holders and beneficial owners of Notes. No Retained Class D Note may be transferred by the Retention Holder (or any other person from which the Issuer is disregarded
as separate) to another Person unless an Opinion of Counsel from tax counsel of nationally recognized standing in the United States experienced in such matters is delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral
Manager, to the effect that the Retained Class D Notes will be characterized as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes immediately following such transfer. 

  
 -133- 

 (i) Each holder of the Notes (or of any interest therein) will be deemed to have represented and
agreed to treat the Notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes. 
 (j) Each holder of the
Class E Notes (or of any interest therein) will be required or deemed (as set forth herein) to represent and warrant that it is a U.S. Tax Person and will be required to provide the Issuer and the Trustee (and any of their agents) with a correct,
complete and properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form). The failure of any holder of the Class E Notes (or of any interest therein) to provide the Issuer and the Trustee (and any of their agents) with the
properly completed and signed tax certifications specified above may result in withholding from payments in respect of such Note, including U.S. federal withholding or back-up withholding. 

(k) Each holder of the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and/or the Class D Notes (or of any interest therein)
understands and acknowledges that the failure to provide the Issuer and the Trustee (and any of their agents) with the properly completed and signed tax certifications (generally, in the case of U.S. federal income tax, an Internal Revenue Service
Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a person that is a U.S. Tax Person or the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a person that is not a U.S. Tax Person) may result in
withholding from payments in respect of such Note, including U.S. federal withholding or back-up withholding. 
 (l) Each holder of the
Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, and/or the Class D Notes (or of any interest therein) agrees to provide the Issuer and any relevant intermediary with any information or documentation that is required under FATCA or that the
Issuer or relevant intermediary deems appropriate to enable the Issuer or relevant intermediary to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes they may be required to withhold pursuant to FATCA in respect of such Note or the
holder of such Note or beneficial interest therein. In addition, each purchaser and subsequent transferee of the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, and/or the Class D Notes will be required or deemed to understand and
acknowledge that the Issuer has the right under this Indenture to withhold on any holder or any beneficial owner of an interest in a Note that fails to comply with FATCA. 

(m) Each holder of the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, and/or the Class D Notes (or of any interest therein)
represents that, if it is not a U.S. Tax Person, (i) either (A) it is not a bank (or an entity affiliated with a bank) extending credit pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business (within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code), (B) it is a person that is eligible for benefits under an income tax treaty with the United States that eliminates U.S. federal income taxation of U.S. source interest not attributable to a
permanent establishment in the United States or (C) it has provided an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI representing that all payments received or to be received by it on the Notes are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or
business in the United States, and (ii) it is not purchasing the Notes in order to reduce its U.S. federal income tax liability pursuant to a tax avoidance plan. 

  
 -134- 

 (n) Each holder of the Class E Notes (or of any interest therein) represents and agrees that,
except in the case of the Retention Holder, the Class E Notes (or of any interest therein) may not be acquired or owned by any Person that is classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership, subchapter S corporation or grantor trust
unless (i) (a) none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any interest in such Person have or ever will have more than 40% of the value of its interest in such Person attributable to the aggregate interest of such Person in the
combined value of the Class E Notes and the Interests (and any other equity interests) in the Issuer, and (b) it is not and will not be a principal purpose of the arrangement involving the investment of such Person in any Class E Notes,
Interests (or any other equity interests in the Issuer) to permit any partnership to satisfy the 100 partner limitation of Treas. Reg. § 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) or (ii) such Person obtains an opinion of nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel
that such transfer will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. 
 (o) Each holder of
the Class E Notes (or of any interest therein) represents and agrees that the Class E Notes (or of any interest therein) may not be acquired, and no holder of the Class E Notes may sell, transfer, assign, participate, pledge or otherwise dispose of
the Class E Notes (or of any interest therein) or cause the Class E Notes (or of any interest therein) to be marketed, (i) on or through an “established securities market” within the meaning of Section 7704(b)(1) of the Code and
Treas. Reg. § 1.7704-1(b), including without limitation, an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations or (ii) if such acquisition, sale, transfer, assignment, participation, pledge or other
disposition would cause the Class E Notes and the Interests (and any other equity interests in the Issuer), in the aggregate, to be held by more than 90 Persons. 

(p) Each holder of the Class E Notes (or of any interest therein) represents and agrees that it will not enter into any financial instrument
payments on which are, or the value of which is, determined in whole or in part by reference to such Notes or the Issuer (including the amount of Issuer distributions on such Notes, the value of the Issuer’s assets, or the result of the
Issuer’s operations), or any contract that otherwise is described in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(a)(2)(i)(B). 

(q) Each holder of the Class E Notes (or of any interest therein) acknowledges and agrees that any sale, transfer, assignment, participation,
pledge, or other disposition of the Class E Notes (or of any interest therein) that would violate any of the three preceding paragraphs above or otherwise cause the Issuer to be unable to rely on the “private placement” safe harbor of
Treas. Reg. § 1.7704-1(h) will be void and of no force or effect, and it will not transfer any interest in the Class E Notes to any person that does not agree to be bound by the three preceding paragraphs above and by this paragraph. 

(r) Each holder of the Class E Notes (or of any interest therein) will indemnify the Issuer, the Trustee and their respective agents from any
and all damages, cost and expenses (including any amount of taxes, fees, interest, additions to tax, or penalties) resulting from the failure by such holder to comply with its obligations under the immediately preceding four paragraphs. The
indemnification will continue with respect to any period during which the holder held a Class E Note (or any interest therein), notwithstanding the holder ceasing to be a holder of the Class E Notes. 

  
 -135- 

 (s) Each holder of the Class E Notes (or of any interest therein) will promptly provide the
Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee and the Initial Purchaser any requested information, documentation or material to enable the Issuer to make the elections described in, and otherwise comply with, Sections 6221 through 6241 of the Code.

 Section 7.18 Effective Date; Purchase of Additional Collateral Obligations. (a) The Issuer will use commercially
reasonable efforts to purchase, on or before the Effective Date, Collateral Obligations (i) such that the Target Initial Par Condition is satisfied and (ii) that satisfy, as of the Effective Date, the Concentration Limitations, the
Collateral Quality Test and the Coverage Tests. 
 (b) During the period from the Closing Date to and including the Effective Date, the
Issuer will use funds to purchase additional Collateral Obligations in the following order: (i) to pay for the principal portion of any Collateral Obligation, first, any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account, and second, any Principal
Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) to pay for accrued interest on any such Collateral Obligation, first, any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account and second, any Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Collection Account.
In addition, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to acquire such Collateral Obligations that will satisfy, on the Effective Date, the Concentration Limitations, the Collateral Quality Test and each Overcollateralization Ratio Test.

 (c) [Intentionally omitted]. 

(d) Unless clause (e) below is applicable, within 30 Business Days after the Effective Date (but in no event later than the Determination
Date immediately preceding the first Payment Date), the Issuer will provide, or cause the Collateral Manager to provide, the following documents: (i) to each of the Rating Agencies and the Trustee, a report identifying the Collateral
Obligations, (ii) to each of the Rating Agencies, the Effective Date Report and (iii) to the Trustee, an accountants’ certificate (the “Accountants’ Certificate”) (A) recalculating and comparing the obligor,
outstanding principal balance, coupon/spread, stated maturity, country of Domicile, Moody’s Rating, Moody’s Default Probability Rating, and Fitch Rating with respect to each Collateral Obligation as of the Effective Date and the
information provided by the Issuer with respect to every other asset included in the Assets, by reference to such sources as shall be specified therein, (B) calculating as of the Effective Date the level of compliance with, or satisfaction or
non-satisfaction of (1) the Target Initial Par Condition, (2) each Overcollateralization Ratio Test, (3) the Concentration Limitations and (4) the Collateral Quality Test; and (C) specifying the procedures undertaken by them
to review data and computations relating to such Accountants’ Certificate. 
 (e) If, prior to the date 30 Business Days after the
Effective Date (but in no event later than the Determination Date immediately preceding the first Payment Date), (x) the Trustee has not been provided with an Accountants’ Certificate indicating the level of compliance with, or
satisfaction or non-satisfaction of Effective Date Specified Tested Items and each of the Rating Agencies has not been provided with (i) a report identifying the Collateral Obligations and (ii) an Effective Date Report or (y) the
Moody’s Rating Condition is not satisfied (such occurrence constituting a “Moody’s Ramp-Up Failure”) then (A) the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) shall either (i) notify
Moody’s that the Trustee has been 

  
 -136- 

 
provided with such Accountants’ Certificate and each of the Rating Agencies has been provided with a report identifying the Collateral Obligations and an Effective Date Report on or before
the first Determination Date or (ii) request Moody’s to confirm on or before the first Determination Date that Moody’s will not reduce or withdraw its Initial Ratings of the Notes and (B) if, by the first Determination Date, the
Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) has not confirmed to Moody’s that the Trustee has been provided with such Accountants’ Certificate and each of the Rating Agencies has been provided with a report identifying
the Collateral Obligations and an Effective Date Report or obtained the confirmation from Moody’s, each as described in the preceding clause (A) of this paragraph, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) will
instruct the Trustee to transfer amounts from the Interest Collection Subaccount to the Principal Collection Subaccount and may, prior to the first Payment Date, purchase additional Collateral Obligations in an amount sufficient to enable the Issuer
(or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) to (i) confirm to Moody’s that the Trustee has been provided with such Accountants’ Certificate and each of the Rating Agencies has been provided with a report identifying the
Collateral Obligations and an Effective Date Report or (ii) obtain from Moody’s written confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Notes; provided that, in lieu of complying with the preceding clauses (A) and (B), the Issuer
(or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) may take such action, including but not limited to, a Special Redemption and/or transferring amounts from the Interest Collection Subaccount to the Principal Collection Subaccount as Principal
Proceeds (for use in a Special Redemption), sufficient to enable the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) to (1) confirm to Moody’s that the Trustee has been provided with such Accountants’ Certificate and
each of the Rating Agencies has been provided with a report identifying the Collateral Obligations and an Effective Date Report or (2) obtain from Moody’s written confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Notes (provided such
confirmation is not required if the Effective Date Condition has been satisfied). The Collateral Manager shall provide Fitch with written notice if a Moody’s Ramp-Up Failure has occurred. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, if the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) elects to
direct a Special Redemption of the Notes pursuant to this clause (e), the Issuer may use amounts on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount to make such Special Redemption on any Business Day (other than a Payment Date) to the extent
necessary to obtain from Moody’s its written confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Notes (provided such confirmation is not required if the Effective Date Condition has been satisfied). Payments made in respect of the Notes in connection
with such Special Redemption shall be paid in accordance with the Note Payment Sequence. For the avoidance of doubt, such payments will be made without regard to the Priority of Payments. 

Amounts may not be transferred from the Interest Collection Subaccount to the Principal Collection Subaccount in connection with such a
Special Redemption on a Business Day other than a Payment Date if, after giving effect to such transfer the amounts available pursuant to the Priority of Payments on the next succeeding Payment Date would be insufficient to pay the full amount of
the accrued and unpaid interest on any Class of Notes on such next succeeding Payment Date. 
 (f) U.S.$102,067,596.90 of the net proceeds
of the issuance of the Notes will be deposited in the Ramp-Up Account on the Closing Date. At the direction of the Issuer (or the 

  
 -137- 

 
Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer), the Trustee shall apply amounts held in the Ramp-Up Account to purchase additional Collateral Obligations from the Closing Date to and including the
Effective Date as described in clause (b) above. If on the Effective Date, any amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account have not been applied to purchase Collateral Obligations, such amounts shall be applied as described in
Section 10.3(c). 
 (g) Asset Quality Matrix. On or prior to the Effective Date, the Collateral Manager shall elect the
“row/column combination” of the Asset Quality Matrix that shall on and after the Effective Date apply to the Collateral Obligations for purposes of determining compliance with the Moody’s Diversity Test, the Maximum Moody’s
Rating Factor Test and the Minimum Moody’s Floating Spread Test. Thereafter, at any time on written notice of one Business Day to the Trustee (which notice the Trustee shall promptly provide to Moody’s), the Collateral Manager may elect a
different “row/column combination” to apply to the Collateral Obligations; provided that if: (i) the Collateral Obligations are currently in compliance with the Asset Quality Matrix case then applicable to the Collateral
Obligations, the Collateral Obligations comply with the Asset Quality Matrix case to which the Collateral Manager desires to change; or (ii) the Collateral Obligations are not currently in compliance with the Asset Quality Matrix case then
applicable to the Collateral Obligations or would not be in compliance with any other Asset Quality Matrix case, the Collateral Obligations need not comply with the Asset Quality Matrix case to which the Collateral Manager desires to change so long
as the degree of compliance of such Collateral Obligations with each of the Minimum Moody’s Floating Spread Test, the Moody’s Diversity Test, and Maximum Moody’s Rating Factor Test not in compliance would be maintained or improved if
the Asset Quality Matrix case to which the Collateral Manager desires to change is used. If the Collateral Manager does not notify the Trustee that it will alter the “row/column combination” of the Asset Quality Matrix chosen on the
Effective Date in the manner set forth above, the “row/column combination” of the Asset Quality Matrix chosen on or prior to the Effective Date shall continue to apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Manager may elect at any
time after the Effective Date, in lieu of selecting a “row/column combination” of the Asset Quality Matrix, to interpolate between two adjacent rows and/or two adjacent columns, as applicable, on a straight-line basis and round the results
to two decimal points. 
 (h) The failure of the Issuer to satisfy the requirements of this Section 7.18 will not
constitute an Event of Default unless such failure constitutes an Event of Default under Section 5.1(d) hereof and the Issuer, or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Issuer, has acted in bad faith. 

Section 7.19 Representations Relating to Security Interests in the Assets. (a) The Issuer hereby represents and warrants
that, as of the Closing Date (which representations and warranties shall survive the execution of this Indenture and be deemed to be repeated on each date on which an Asset is Granted to the Trustee hereunder):

the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) may agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification to any Collateral Obligation that would extend the stated maturity date thereof (a “Maturity Amendment”); provided,
that neither the Issuer nor the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf may agree to any Maturity Amendment unless, as determined by the Collateral Manager after giving effect to any Trading Plan then in effect, both (a) (i) the
Weighted Average Life Test will be satisfied after giving effect to such Maturity Amendment or (ii) if the Weighted Average Life Test was not satisfied immediately prior to giving effect to such Maturity Amendment, the level of compliance with

 Notwithstanding any other provision relating to supplemental indentures herein, at any time after the

any Holder of any Note of such Class will not be required with respect to such supplemental indenture. 
 Section 8.3 Execution of
Supplemental Indentures. (a) The Collateral Manager shall not be bound to follow any amendment or supplement to this Indenture unless it has consented thereto in accordance with this Article VIII. 

(b) The Trustee shall provide notice of any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2
to each Rating Agency. 
 (c) The Trustee shall join in the execution of any such supplemental indenture and shall make any further
appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which adversely affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities

 -145- 

 (d) The Trustee may conclusively rely on an Opinion of Counsel (which may be supported as to
factual (including financial and capital markets) matters by any relevant certificates and other documents necessary or advisable in the judgment of counsel delivering the opinion) or a Responsible Officer’s certificate of the Collateral
Manager as to whether the interests of any Holder of Notes or holder of Interests would be materially and adversely affected by the modifications set forth in any supplemental indenture, it being expressly understood and agreed that the Trustee
shall have no obligation to make any determination as to the satisfaction of the requirements related to any supplemental indenture which may form the basis of such Opinion of Counsel or such Responsible Officer’s certificate; provided
that if a Majority of the Holders of any Class of Notes have provided written notice to the Trustee at least one (1) Business Day prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture that such Class would be materially and adversely affected
thereby, the Trustee shall not be entitled to rely upon an Opinion of Counsel or Responsible Officer’s certificate of the Collateral Manager as to whether or not the Holders of such Class would be materially and adversely affected by such
supplemental indenture and the Trustee shall not enter into such supplemental indenture without the consent of a Majority of such Class. Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all present and future holders. The Trustee shall not be
liable for any such determination made in good faith and in reliance upon an Opinion of Counsel or such a Responsible Officer’s certificate delivered to the Trustee as described herein. For the avoidance of doubt, no Holder who would not
constitute a Holder after giving effect to a Refinancing or Re-Pricing shall be materially and adversely affected by any provision of any supplemental indenture that becomes effective after such Refinancing or Re-Pricing or otherwise have any right
to object to any such Refinancing or Re-Pricing. 
 (e) At the cost of the Issuer, for so long as any Notes shall remain Outstanding, not
later than 15 Business Days prior to the execution of any proposed supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall deliver to the Collateral Manager, the Noteholders, each Rating Agency and the Issuer for delivery to each holder of Interests with respect
to the Interests, a copy of such proposed supplemental indenture. At the cost of the Issuer, the Trustee shall provide to the Holders (in the manner described in Section 14.4) a copy of the executed supplemental indenture after its
execution. Any failure of the Trustee to publish or deliver such notice, or any defect therein, shall not in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. 

(f) It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be
sufficient, if the consent of any Holders to such proposed supplemental indenture is required, that such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 

(g) For so long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange, the Trustee shall notify the Irish Stock Exchange of any modification to
this Indenture. 
 (h) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article VIII, no supplemental indenture, or other modification or
amendment of this Indenture pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 may become effective unless such supplemental indenture or other modification or amendment will not, in the reasonable judgment of the Issuer in consultation
with and upon advice of legal counsel experienced in such matters, as certified by the Issuer to the Trustee upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely, (i) result in the Issuer becoming subject to U.S. federal

  
 -146- 

 
income taxation with respect to its net income or (ii) have a material adverse effect on the tax treatment of the Issuer or the tax consequences to the holders of any Class of Notes
Outstanding at the time of the execution of the supplemental indenture or other modification or amendment of this Indenture. 

Section 8.4 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article VIII,
this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore and thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound
thereby. 
 Section 8.5 Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes authenticated and delivered as part of a transfer,
exchange or replacement pursuant to Article II or Notes originally issued hereunder after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article VIII may, and if required by the Issuer shall, bear a notice in form
approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer shall so determine, new Notes, so modified as to conform in the opinion of the Issuer to any such supplemental indenture, may be prepared and
executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes. 
 ARTICLE IX

 -147-

least sufficient to redeem simultaneously the Notes then required to be redeemed at the respective Redemption Prices thereof, in whole but not in part, and to pay all accrued and unpaid Administrative Expenses (without regard to the Administrative
Expense Cap), including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Collateral Manager (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such Refinancing,
(ii) the Sale Proceeds, Refinancing Proceeds and other available funds are used (to the extent necessary) to make such redemption, and (iii) the agreements relating to the Refinancing contain limited recourse and non-petition provisions

 (f) In the case of
a Refinancing upon a redemption of the Notes in part by Class pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(ii), such Refinancing will be effective only if: (i) the Trustee (at the direction of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the
Issuer) shall have given written notice of the Refinancing to each Rating Agency, (ii) the Refinancing Proceeds (including any capital contributions designated by the Collateral Manager for application as Refinancing Proceeds or Partial

such redemption, (iv)

Section 2.7(i), (v) the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of any obligations providing the Refinancing is no greater than the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes being redeemed with the proceeds of such obligations plus an amount
equal to the reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred in connection with such Refinancing, (vi) the stated maturity of each class of obligations providing the Refinancing is no earlier than the corresponding Stated Maturity of each
Class of Notes being refinanced, (vii) the reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred in connection with such Refinancing have been paid or will be adequately provided for from the Refinancing Proceeds (except for expenses owed to
Persons that the Collateral Manager informs the Trustee will be paid solely as Administrative Expenses payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments; provided that any such fees due to the Trustee and determined by the Collateral
Manager to be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments shall not be subject to the Administrative Expense Cap), (viii) in the case of a Refinancing of a Class of (1) Floating Rate Notes, the spread over LIBOR of any obligations
providing the Refinancing will not be greater than the spread over LIBOR of the Class of Floating Rate Notes subject to such Refinancing or (2) Fixed Rate Notes (which may be refinanced as either Fixed Rate Notes or Floating Rate Notes), the

voting rights, consent rights, redemption rights and all other rights of the obligations providing the Refinancing are the same as the rights of the corresponding Class of Notes being refinanced, (xi) the Issuer shall have obtained advice of
nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such Refinancing will not result in the Issuer becoming subject to U.S. federal income taxation with respect to its net income, or to any withholding tax liability

effect such Refinancing. 
 (g) The holders of the Interests will not have any cause of action against the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or

and, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, the Trustee shall amend this Indenture to the extent necessary to reflect the terms of the Refinancing and no consent for such amendments shall be required from the Holders of any other Class of
Notes. The Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment that, in its view, adversely affects its duties, obligations, liabilities or protections hereunder, and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon an Opinion of
Counsel as to matters of law (which may be supported as to factual (including financial and capital markets) matters by any relevant certificates and other documents necessary or advisable in the judgment of counsel delivering such Opinion of
Counsel) provided by the Issuer to the effect that such amendment meets the requirements specified above and is permitted under this Indenture (except that such officer or counsel shall have no obligation to certify or opine as to the sufficiency of
the Refinancing Proceeds or the sufficiency of the Accountants’ Certificate or other accountants’ certificates or information required hereunder). 

  
 -149- 

 (h) The Collateral Manager may, in its sole discretion, designate any amount of capital
contributions as Refinancing Proceeds for use in connection with a Refinancing. To the extent that Refinancing Proceeds are not applied to redeem the Class or Classes of Notes subject to a Refinancing or to pay expenses in connection with the
Refinancing, such proceeds will be treated as Principal Proceeds. If a Class or Classes of Notes is redeemed in connection with a Refinancing upon a redemption of the Notes in part by Class, Refinancing Proceeds, together with Partial Refinancing
Interest Proceeds, will be applied on the related Redemption Date to pay the Redemption Price(s) of such Class or Classes of Notes in accordance with the Priority of Partial Refinancing Proceeds. 

(i) In the event of any redemption pursuant to this Section 9.2, the Issuer shall, at least 30 days (or such shorter period
of time as the Trustee and the Collateral Manager find reasonably acceptable) prior to the Redemption Date, notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date, the applicable Record Date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed on such
Redemption Date and the applicable Redemption Prices; provided, that failure to effect any Optional Redemption which is withdrawn by the Issuer in accordance with this Indenture or with respect to which a Refinancing fails to occur shall not
constitute an Event of Default or a Failed Optional Redemption. If there is a Failed Optional Redemption, an Enforcement Event shall occur and distributions and proceeds in respect of the Assets will be applied at the date or dates fixed by the
Trustee in accordance with Section 11.1(a)(iii). 
 (j) In connection with any Optional Redemption of the Notes in whole or of
any Class of the Notes in connection with a Refinancing of such Class, Holders of 100% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of any Class of Notes may elect to receive less than 100% of the Redemption Price that would otherwise be payable to the
Holders of such Class of Notes.

15 days) as the Trustee and (in the case of such direction delivered by a Majority of the Interests) the Collateral Manager find reasonably acceptable) prior to the Payment Date on which such redemption is to be made (which date shall be designated

the applicable Redemption Date, to each Holder of Notes, at such Holder’s address in the Register and each Rating Agency. In addition, for so long as any Listed Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and so long as the guidelines of such
exchange so require, notice of redemption pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3 to the Holders thereof shall also be sent by the Trustee to the Irish Stock Exchange. 

(b) All notices of redemption delivered pursuant to Section 9.4(a) shall state:

to each of the Rating Agencies. 
 (d) Notice of redemption pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3 shall be given by the Issuer
or, upon an Issuer Order, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note selected for redemption shall not impair or affect the validity of the
redemption of any other Notes.

any redemption pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3, no Notes may be optionally redeemed unless (i) at least one Business Day before the scheduled Redemption Date the Collateral Manager shall have furnished to the Trustee evidence,
in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, that the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer has entered into a binding agreement or agreements with a financial or other institution or institutions whose short-term unsecured debt
obligations (other than such obligations whose rating is based on the credit of a Person other than such institution) are rated, or guaranteed by a Person whose short-term unsecured debt obligations are rated, at least “P-1” by Moody’s to purchase (directly or by 

  
 -151- 

 
participation or other arrangement), not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Redemption Date in immediately available funds, all or part of the Assets at a purchase

receive less than 100% of the Redemption Price that would otherwise be payable to the Holders of such Class or Classes), or (ii) prior to selling any Collateral Obligations and/or Eligible Investments, the Collateral Manager shall certify to
the Trustee that, in its judgment (which may be based on the Issuer having entered into an agreement to sell such Assets to another special purpose entity that has committed financing or has priced but has not yet closed its securities offering),
the aggregate sum of (A) expected proceeds from the sale of Eligible Investments, and (B) for each Collateral Obligation, the product of its Market Value and its Applicable Advance Rate, shall exceed the sum of (x) the aggregate
Redemption Prices of the applicable Class of Notes (including, without limitation, any such amount that the Holders of such Class have elected to receive, where Holders of such Class have elected to receive less than 100% of the Redemption Price
that would otherwise be payable to the Holders of such Class) and (y) all Administrative Expenses (without regard to the Administrative Expense Cap) and Aggregate Collateral Management Fees payable in connection with such Optional Redemption or
Tax Redemption, in each case, as applicable and in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Any certification delivered by the Collateral Manager pursuant to this Section 9.4(e) shall include (1) the prices of, and expected
proceeds from, the sale (directly or by participation or other arrangement) of any Collateral Obligations and/or Eligible Investments and (2) all calculations required by this Section 9.4(e). Any holder of Notes, the
Transferor, the Collateral Manager or any of their affiliates or accounts managed thereby or by their respective affiliates may, subject to the same terms and conditions afforded to other bidders, bid on Assets to be sold as part of an Optional
Redemption or Tax Redemption. 
 Section 9.5 Notes Payable on Redemption Date. (a) Notice of redemption pursuant to
Section 9.4 having been given as aforesaid, the Notes to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, subject to Section 9.4(e) and the Issuer’s right or obligation to withdraw any notice of redemption pursuant
to Section 9.4(c), become due and payable at the Redemption Prices therein specified, and from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Prices and accrued interest) all such
Notes that are Notes shall cease to bear interest on the Redemption Date. Upon final payment on a Note to be so redeemed, the Holder shall present and surrender such Note at the place specified in the notice of redemption on or prior to such
Redemption Date; provided that if there is delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save such party harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such Note, then, in the absence of
notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that the applicable Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. Payments of interest on Notes so to be redeemed which are payable on or
prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to the terms and provisions of
Section 2.7(e). 

  
 -152- 

 (b) If any Note called for redemption shall not be paid upon surrender thereof for redemption,
the principal thereof shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the applicable Interest Rate for each successive Interest Accrual Period such Note remains Outstanding; provided that the reason for such non-payment is not
the fault of such Noteholder. 
 Section 9.6 Special Redemption. Principal payments on the Notes shall be made in part in
accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date or, with respect to a redemption pursuant to clause (ii), as otherwise described in Section 7.18, (i) during the Reinvestment Period, if the Collateral Manager in its sole
discretion notifies the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the applicable Special Redemption Date that it has been unable, for a period of at least 20 consecutive Business Days, to identify additional Collateral Obligations that are deemed
appropriate by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion and which would satisfy the Investment Criteria in sufficient amounts to permit the investment or reinvestment of all or a portion of the funds then in the Collection Account that are to
be invested in additional Collateral Obligations, (ii) if the Collateral Manager elects to direct a Special Redemption to the extent necessary to enable the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf) to (1) confirm to
Moody’s that the Effective Date Condition has been satisfied or (2) obtain from Moody’s written confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Notes, or (iii) if a Retention Deficiency exists to the extent necessary to reduce such
Retention Deficiency to zero. On the first Payment Date (and all subsequent Payment Dates) following the Collection Period in which such notice is given (a “Special Redemption Date”), the amount in the Collection Account
representing, as applicable, (x) Principal Proceeds which the Collateral Manager has determined cannot be reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations, (y) Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds available therefor in accordance with
the Priority of Payments on each Payment Date until the Issuer obtains confirmation from Moody’s of its Initial Ratings of the Notes (provided such confirmation is not required if the Effective Date Condition has been satisfied), or
(z) Principal Proceeds necessary to reduce any outstanding Retention Deficiency to zero (such amount, a “Special Redemption Amount”). In addition, in connection with a redemption pursuant to clause (ii), the Collateral Manager
on the Issuer’s behalf may elect to direct a Special Redemption on any Business Day other than a Payment Date as described in Section 7.18 (such date also a “Special Redemption Date” and the applicable amount paid
as a redemption thereunder, also a “Special Redemption Amount”). Notice of payments pursuant to this Section 9.6 shall be given by the Trustee not less than three Business Days prior to the applicable Special Redemption
Date by facsimile, email transmission or first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Notes affected thereby at such Holder’s facsimile number, email address or mailing address in the Register and to each Rating Agency. In addition, for
so long as any Listed Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and so long as the guidelines of such exchange so require, notice of Special Redemption to the holders of such Listed Notes shall also be sent by the Trustee to the Irish Stock
Exchange. 
 Section 9.7 Optional Re-Pricing. 

(a) On any Business Day after the Non-Call Period, at the written direction of either (x) the Collateral Manager with the consent of the
Retention Holder or (y) a Majority of the Interests with the consent of the Collateral Manager and the Retention Holder, the Issuer 

  
 -153- 

 
shall reduce the spread over LIBOR with respect to any Class of Notes, other than the Class A Notes (such reduction with respect to any such Class of Notes, a “Re-Pricing”
and any Class of Notes to be subject to a Re-Pricing, a “Re-Priced Class”); provided that the Issuer shall not effect any Re-Pricing unless each condition specified in this Section 9.7 is satisfied with respect
thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, no terms of any Notes other than the Interest Rate applicable thereto may be modified or supplemented in connection with a Re-Pricing. In connection with any Re-Pricing, the Issuer may engage a broker-dealer (the
“Re-Pricing Intermediary”) upon the recommendation and subject to the approval of a Majority of the Interests and such Re-Pricing Intermediary shall assist the Issuer in effecting the Re-Pricing. 

(b) At least 30 days prior to the Business Day fixed by the Collateral Manager or a Majority of the Interests, as applicable, for any proposed
Re-Pricing (the “Re-Pricing Date”), the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, shall deliver a notice in writing to the Trustee (who shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to each Holder of the
proposed Re-Priced Class, the Collateral Manager and each of the Rating Agencies), which notice shall: 
 (i) specify the
proposed Re-Pricing Date and the revised spread over LIBOR (the “Re-Pricing Rate”); 
 (ii) request each
Holder of the Re-Priced Class to approve the proposed Re-Pricing; and 
 (iii) specify the price at which Notes of any Holder
of the Re-Priced Class which does not approve the Re-Pricing may be sold and transferred pursuant to Section 9.7(c), which, for purposes of such Re-Pricing, shall be the Redemption Price after giving effect on a pro forma basis to
all payments to be made pursuant to the Priority of Payments on the Re-Pricing Date if such date is a Payment Date. 
 (c) In the event any
Holders of the Re-Priced Class do not deliver written consent to the proposed Re-Pricing on or before the date that is 10 Business Days prior to the proposed Re-Pricing Date, the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, shall
deliver written notice thereof to the Trustee (who shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to the consenting Holders of the Re-Priced Class), specifying the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Re-Priced Class held by such
non-consenting Holders, and shall request each such consenting Holder provide written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager and the Re-Pricing Intermediary if such Holder would like to purchase all or any portion of the Notes of
the Re-Priced Class held by the non-consenting Holders (each such notice, an “Exercise Notice”) within 5 Business Days after receipt of such notice. In the event the Issuer shall receive Exercise Notices with respect to more than
the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders, the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, shall cause the sale and transfer of such Notes, without further notice to the
non-consenting Holders thereof (for settlement on the Re-Pricing Date) to the Holders delivering Exercise Notices with respect thereto, pro rata based on the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes such Holders indicated an interest in
purchasing pursuant to their Exercise Notices. In the event the Issuer shall receive Exercise Notices with respect to less than the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes of the Re-Priced Class held

  
 -154- 

 
by non-consenting Holders, the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, shall cause the sale and transfer of such Notes, without further notice to the non-consenting
Holders thereof (for settlement on the Re-Pricing Date) to the Holders delivering Exercise Notices with respect thereto, and any excess Notes of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders shall be sold (for settlement on the Re-Pricing Date)
to one or more transferees designated by the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer. All sales of Notes to be effected pursuant to this clause (c) shall be made at the Redemption Price after giving effect on a pro forma basis to
all payments to be made pursuant to the Priority of Payments on the Re-Pricing Date if such date is a Payment Date, and shall be effected only if the related Re-Pricing is effected in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Holder of each Note,
by its acceptance of an interest in the Notes, agrees that the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, may enter into binding commitments to sell and transfer all Notes of a Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders in
accordance with this Section 9.7 and, if it is a non-consenting Holder, hereby irrevocably appoints the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (with full power of
substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with such sale and transfer, and agrees to sell and transfer its Notes in accordance with this Section 9.7 and to cooperate with the Issuer, the Re-Pricing
Intermediary and the Trustee to effectuate such sale and transfers. The Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, shall deliver written notice to the Trustee and the Collateral Manager not later than 5 Business Days prior to
the proposed Re-Pricing Date confirming that the Issuer has received written commitments to purchase all Notes of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, such Re-Pricing will apply to all the Notes of the
Re-Priced Class, including the Notes of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders. 
 (d) The Issuer shall not effect any proposed
Re-Pricing unless: (i) the Issuer and the Trustee shall have entered into a supplemental indenture dated as of the Re-Pricing Date to decrease the spread over LIBOR (or stated interest rate) applicable to the Re-Priced Class in accordance with
Section 8.1; (ii) the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, has received written commitments to purchase all Notes of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders; (iii) each Rating Agency shall
have been notified of such Re-Pricing; (iv) the Issuer has obtained advice of nationally-recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such Re-Pricing will not result in the Issuer becoming subject to U.S. federal
income taxation with respect to its net income, or to any withholding tax liability under Section 1446 of the Code; (v) in the case of any Re-Pricing directed by a Majority of the Interests, the written consent of the Collateral Manager
and the Retention Holder, and in the case of any Re-Pricing directed by the Collateral Manager, the written consent of the Retention Holder, shall have been obtained; and (vi) all expenses of the Issuer and the Trustee (including the fees of
the Re-Pricing Intermediary and fees of counsel) incurred in connection with the Re-Pricing shall not exceed the amount of Interest Proceeds available after taking into account all amounts required to be paid pursuant to the Priority of Payments on
the subsequent Payment Date prior to distributions to the Holders of the Interests, unless such expenses shall have been paid (including from proceeds of any additional issuance of Interests) or shall be adequately provided for by an entity other
than the Issuer. 
 (e) If notice has been received by the Trustee from the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer,
confirming that the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing 

  
 -155- 

 
Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, has received written commitments to purchase all Notes of the Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting Holders, notice of a Re-Pricing shall be given by the
Trustee by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 3 Business Days prior to the proposed Re-Pricing Date, to each Holder of Notes of the Re-Priced Class at the address in the Register (with a copy to the Collateral Manager),
specifying the applicable Re-Pricing Date and Re-Pricing Rate. Notice of Re-Pricing shall be given by the Trustee at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give a notice of Re-Pricing, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Re-Priced Class shall
not impair or affect the validity of the Re-Pricing or give rise to any claim based upon such failure or defect. Any notice of a Re-Pricing may be withdrawn by a Majority of the Interests on or prior to the fourth Business Day prior to the scheduled
Re-Pricing Date by written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee, and the Collateral Manager for any reason. Upon receipt of such notice of withdrawal, the Trustee shall send such notice to the Holders of Notes and each Rating Agency. 

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

ARTICLE X 
 ACCOUNTS,
ACCOUNTINGS AND RELEASES 
 Section 10.1 Collection of Money. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee may
demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all Money and other property payable to or receivable by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture,
including all payments due on the Assets, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Assets. The Trustee shall segregate and hold all such Money and property received by it in trust for the Holders of the Notes and shall apply it as
provided herein. Each Account shall be established and maintained (a) with a federal or state-chartered depository institution rated at least “P-1” and “A1” by Moody’s and (to the extent that Fitch is rating any Notes
then Outstanding) that has a short-term credit rating of at least “F1” and a long-term credit rating of at least “A” by Fitch, and if such institution’s rating falls below such ratings, the assets held in such Account shall
be moved within 30 calendar days to another institution that has such ratings or (b) in segregated trust accounts with the corporate trust department of a federal or state-chartered depository institution rated at least “P-1” and
“A1” by Moody’s and (to the extent that Fitch is rating any Notes then Outstanding) that has a short-term credit rating of at least “F1” and a long-term credit rating of at least “A” by Fitch (and if such
institution’s rating falls below such ratings, the assets held in such 

  
 -156- 

 
Account shall be moved within 30 calendar days to another institution that has such ratings) and is subject to regulations regarding fiduciary funds on deposit similar to Title 12 of the Code of
Federal Regulation Section 9.10(b). Such institution shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$200,000,000. All Cash deposited in the Accounts shall be invested only in Eligible Investments or Collateral Obligations in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture. To avoid the consolidation of the Assets of the Issuer with the general assets of the Bank under any circumstances, the Trustee shall comply, and shall cause the Custodian to comply, with all law
applicable to it as a national bank with trust powers holding segregated trust assets in a fiduciary capacity. 
 Section 10.2
Collection Account. (a) In accordance with this Indenture and the Securities Account Control Agreement, the Issuer shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, cause the Trustee to establish at the Custodian two segregated trust accounts, one
of which will be designated the “Interest Collection Subaccount” and one of which will be designated the “Principal Collection Subaccount” (and which together will comprise the Collection Account), each held in the name of the
Issuer subject to the Lien of this Indenture and each of which shall be maintained with the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. Until such time, if any, as the Trustee shall exercise its rights to direct Obligors
to make payments directly to the Collection Account, the Collateral Manager shall direct all obligors and loan agents to make all payments or other distributions on the Collateral Obligations to, and any proceeds received from the disposition of any
Collateral Obligations will be remitted to, a central collection account (the “Concentration Account”) maintained by a bank selected by NewStar for that purpose, and the Collateral Manager will be required to transfer all Proceeds
relating to the Collateral Obligations from the Concentration Account to the Principal Collection Subaccount or the Interest Collection Subaccount, as applicable, within two Business Days after receipt thereof in the Concentration Account. In the
event that NewStar decides to change the bank that maintains the Concentration Account, the Collateral Manager shall direct obligors and loan agents to make all payments or other distributions on the Collateral Obligations directly to the Collection
Account. The Trustee shall from time to time deposit into the Interest Collection Subaccount, in addition to the deposits required pursuant to Section 10.7(a), immediately upon receipt thereof or upon transfer from the Payment Account,
all Interest Proceeds (unless simultaneously reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations in accordance with Article XII). The Trustee shall deposit immediately upon receipt thereof or upon transfer from the Revolver Funding Account all
other amounts remitted to the Collection Account into the Principal Collection Subaccount, including in addition to the deposits required pursuant to Section 10.7(a), (i) any funds designated as Principal Proceeds by the Collateral
Manager in accordance with this Indenture, (ii) the net proceeds from the issuance of any additional Notes and (iii) all other Principal Proceeds (unless simultaneously reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations in accordance with
Article XII or in Eligible Investments). The Issuer may, but under no circumstances shall be required to, deposit from time to time into the Collection Account, in addition to any amount required hereunder to be deposited therein, such Monies
received from external sources for the benefit of the Secured Parties or the Issuer (other than payments on or in respect of the Collateral Obligations, Eligible Investments or other existing Assets) as the Issuer deems, in its sole discretion, to
be advisable and to designate them as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds. All Monies deposited from time to time in the Collection Account pursuant to this Indenture shall be held by the Trustee as part of the Assets and shall be applied to the
purposes herein provided. Subject to Section 10.2(d), amounts in the Collection Account shall be reinvested pursuant to Section 10.7(a). 

  
 -157- 

 (b) The Trustee, within one Business Day after receipt of any distribution or other proceeds in
respect of the Assets which are not Cash, shall so notify the Issuer and the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, within five Business Days after receipt of such notice from the
Trustee (or as soon as practicable thereafter), sell such distribution or other proceeds for Cash in an arm’s length transaction and deposit the proceeds thereof in the Collection Account; provided that the Issuer (i) need not sell
such distributions or other proceeds if it delivers an Issuer Order or an Officer’s certificate to the Trustee certifying that such distributions or other proceeds constitute Collateral Obligations, Equity Securities or Eligible Investments or
(ii) may otherwise retain such distribution or other proceeds for up to two years from the date of receipt thereof if it delivers an Officer’s certificate to the Trustee certifying that (x) it will sell such distribution within such
two-year period and (y) retaining such distribution is not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. 
 (c) At any time when reinvestment
is permitted pursuant to Article XII, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may by Issuer Order direct the Trustee to, and upon receipt of such Issuer Order the Trustee shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection
Subaccount representing Principal Proceeds (together with any Principal Financed Accrued Interest and Principal Financed Capitalized Interest) and reinvest (or invest, in the case of funds referred to in Section 7.18) such funds in
additional Collateral Obligations, in each case in accordance with the requirements of Article XII and such Issuer Order. At any time, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may by Issuer Order direct the Trustee to, and upon receipt
of such Issuer Order the Trustee shall, withdraw funds on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount representing Principal Proceeds and deposit such funds in the Revolver Funding Account to meet funding requirements on Delayed Drawdown
Collateral Obligations or Revolving Collateral Obligations. 
 (d) The Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may by Issuer Order direct
the Trustee to, and upon receipt of such Issuer Order the Trustee shall, pay from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account on any Business Day during any Interest Accrual Period (i) any amount required to purchase additional Collateral
Obligations or to exercise a warrant or right to acquire securities held in the Assets in accordance with the requirements of Article XII and such Issuer Order, and (ii) from Interest Proceeds only, any Administrative Expenses (such
payments to be counted against the Administrative Expense Cap for the applicable period and to be subject to the order of priority as stated in the definition of Administrative Expenses); provided that the aggregate Administrative Expenses
paid pursuant to this Section 10.2(d) during any Collection Period shall not exceed the Administrative Expense Cap for the related Payment Date; provided, further, that the Trustee shall be entitled (but not required)
without liability on its part, to refrain from making any such payment of an Administrative Expense pursuant to this Section 10.2 on any day other than a Payment Date if, in its reasonable determination, the payment of such amount is
likely to leave insufficient funds available to pay in full each of the items described in Section 11.1(a)(i)(A) as reasonably anticipated to be or become due and payable on the next Payment Date, taking into account the Administrative
Expense Cap. 

  
 -158- 

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

Section 10.3 Transaction Accounts. 

(a) Payment Account. In accordance with this Indenture and the Securities Account Control Agreement, the Issuer shall, prior to the
Closing Date, cause the Trustee to establish at the Custodian a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account held in the name of U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall be designated
as the Payment Account, which shall be maintained with the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. Except as provided in Section 11.1(a), the only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on
deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Payment Account shall be to pay amounts due and payable on the Notes in accordance with their terms and the provisions of this Indenture and the Interests in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture and, upon Issuer Order, to pay Administrative Expenses, fees and other amounts due and owing to the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement and other amounts specified herein, each in accordance with the Priority of
Payments. The Issuer shall not have any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Payment Account other than in accordance with this Indenture (including the Priority of Payments) and the Securities Account Control Agreement. Amounts in the
Payment Account shall remain uninvested. 
 (b) Custodial Account. In accordance with this Indenture and the Securities Account
Control Agreement, the Issuer shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause the Trustee to establish at the Custodian a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account held in the name of the Issuer, subject to the Lien of this Indenture, which
shall be designated as the Custodial Account, which shall be maintained with the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. All Collateral Obligations shall be credited to the Custodial Account. The only permitted
withdrawals from the Custodial Account shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee agrees to give the Issuer immediate notice if (to the actual knowledge of a Trust Officer of the Trustee) the Custodial Account or
any assets or securities on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Custodial Account, shall become subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. The Issuer shall not have any legal, equitable
or beneficial interest in the Custodial Account other than in accordance with this Indenture and the Priority of Payments. 
 (c) Ramp-Up
Account. In accordance with this Indenture and the Securities Account Control Agreement, the Issuer shall, prior to the Closing Date, cause the Trustee to establish at the Custodian a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account held in
the name of the Issuer, subject to the Lien of this Indenture, which shall be designated as the Ramp-Up Account, which shall be maintained with the Custodian in accordance with the Securities Account Control Agreement. The Issuer shall direct the
Trustee to deposit the amount specified in Section 3.1(k)(i) to the Ramp-Up Account on the Closing Date. In connection with any purchase of an additional Collateral Obligation, the Trustee will apply amounts held in the Ramp-Up Account
as provided by Section 7.18(b) and Section 7.18(f). Any income earned on amounts deposited in the Ramp-Up Account will be deposited in the Interest Collection Subaccount. All other amounts on

  
 -159- 

 
deposit in the Ramp-Up Account will be deemed to represent Principal Proceeds. On the Effective Date or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event (and excluding any
proceeds that will be used to settle binding commitments entered into prior to such date), the Trustee will deposit any remaining amounts in the Ramp-Up Account into the Principal Collection Subaccount as Principal Proceeds and the Ramp-Up Account
will be closed. 
 Section 10.4 The Revolver Funding Account. Upon the purchase or acquisition of any Delayed Drawdown
Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation identified by written notice to the Trustee, funds in an amount equal to the undrawn portion of such obligation shall be withdrawn first from the Ramp-Up Account (if prior to the Effective
Date) and, if necessary, from the Principal Collection Subaccount and deposited in a single, segregated trust account established (in accordance with this Indenture and the Securities Account Control Agreement) in the name of the Issuer subject to
the Lien of this Indenture (the “Revolver Funding Account”). Upon initial purchase or acquisition of any such obligations, funds deposited in the Revolver Funding Account in respect of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or
Revolving Collateral Obligation will be treated as part of the purchase price therefor. Amounts on deposit in the Revolver Funding Account will be invested in overnight funds that are Eligible Investments selected by the Collateral Manager pursuant
to Section 10.7 and earnings from all such investments will be deposited in the Interest Collection Subaccount as Interest Proceeds. All other amounts held in the Revolver Funding Account will be deemed to represent Principal
Proceeds. 
 The Issuer shall, at all times, maintain sufficient funds on deposit in the Revolver Funding Account such that the sum of the
amount of funds on deposit in the Revolver Funding Account shall be equal to or greater than the sum of the unfunded funding obligations under all such Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligations and Revolving Collateral Obligations then included in the
Assets. Funds shall be deposited in the Revolver Funding Account upon the purchase of any Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation or Revolving Collateral Obligation and upon the receipt by the Issuer of any Principal Proceeds with respect to a
Revolving Collateral Obligation as directed by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer. In the event of any shortfall in the Revolver Funding Account, the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer) may direct the Trustee to, and the Trustee
thereafter shall, transfer funds in an amount equal to such shortfall from the Principal Collection Subaccount to the Revolver Funding Account. 

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

  
 -160- 

 Section 10.5 The Interest Reserve Account. The Issuer will, on or prior to the
Closing Date, cause the Trustee to establish a single, segregated non-interest bearing trust account in the name of the Issuer subject to the lien of this Indenture which will be designated as the “Interest Reserve Account.” On the
Closing Date, the Issuer will deposit an amount equal to the Interest Reserve Amount into the Interest Reserve Account. On or before the Determination Date in the first Collection Period, the Collateral Manager may direct that any portion of the
Interest Reserve Amount be transferred to the Collection Account and included as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds for such Collection Period. On the first Payment Date, all amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account will be
transferred to the Payment Account and applied as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds (as directed by the Collateral Manager) in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and the Trustee will close the Interest Reserve Account. 

Section 10.6 Capital Contributions. At any time the holders of the Interests may, but shall not be required to, make capital
contributions of cash, Eligible Investments and Collateral Obligations to the Issuer (for the avoidance of doubt, other than deemed capital contributions from the Retention Holder as provided in the Transaction Documents, each, a
“Contribution” and each such Person who makes a Contribution, a “Contributor”), provided that no Contribution of Collateral Obligations may be made unless either (A) each requirement or test, as the case
may be, of the Concentration Limitations and the Collateral Quality Test will be satisfied or (B) if any such requirement or test was not satisfied immediately prior to such Contribution, such requirement or test will be maintained or improved
after giving effect to the Contribution; and provided further that any Contribution received after a Determination Date and prior to the related Payment Date will not be taken into account when calculating compliance with the Coverage Tests
on such Payment Date. Contributions of cash or Eligible Investments may only be used for a Permitted Use or Permitted Uses as directed by the applicable Contributor at the time such Contribution is made, so long as the Collateral Manager consents to
such Permitted Use or Permitted Uses (or, if no direction is given by the Contributor, at the Collateral Manager’s reasonable discretion). 

Section 10.7 Reinvestment of Funds in Accounts; Reports by Trustee. (a) By Issuer Order (which may be in the form of standing
instructions), the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall at all times direct the Trustee to, and, upon receipt of such Issuer Order, the Trustee shall, invest all funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the
Ramp-Up Account and the Revolver Funding Account, as so directed in Eligible Investments having stated maturities no later than the Business Day preceding the next Payment Date (or such shorter maturities expressly provided herein). If prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Issuer shall not have given any such investment directions, the Trustee shall seek instructions from the Collateral Manager within three Business Days after transfer of any funds to such accounts. If the

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

Act”), requires that all holders of the outstanding securities of the Issuer be “Qualified Purchasers” (“Qualified Purchasers”) as defined in Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the 1940 Act and related rules. Under the
rules, the Issuer must have a “reasonable belief” that all holders of its outstanding securities, including transferees, are Qualified Purchasers. Consequently, all sales and resales of the Notes must be made solely to purchasers that are
Qualified Purchasers. Each purchaser of a Note (such Note a “Restricted Note”) will be deemed (or required, as the case may be) to represent at the time of purchase that: (i) the purchaser is a Qualified Purchaser who is either
(x) solely in the case of Notes issued as Certificated Notes, an institutional accredited investor (“IAI”) within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), (y) a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“QIB”), or (z) except for with respect to the Class E Notes, a non-U.S. person acquiring such notes
in an offshore transaction (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S under the Securities Act; (ii) the purchaser is acting for its own account or the account
of another Qualified Purchaser and QIB/IAI/non-U.S. person (as applicable); (iii) the purchaser is not formed for the purpose of investing in the Issuer; (iv) the purchaser, and each account for which it is purchasing, will hold and
transfer at least the Minimum Denominations of the Notes specified herein; (v) the purchaser understands that the Issuer may receive a list of participants holding positions in securities from one or more book-entry depositories; and
(vi) the purchaser will provide written notice of the foregoing, and of any applicable restrictions on transfer, to any subsequent transferees. The Restricted Notes may only be transferred to another Qualified Purchaser and QIB/IAI/non-U.S.
person (as applicable) and all subsequent transferees are deemed to have made representations (i) through (vi) above.”

Collateral Obligation at any time when the Issuer is obligated to do so under the Master Loan Sale Agreement. 
 (j) Material Covenant
Defaults; Maturity Amendments. The Collateral Manager may direct the Trustee at any time without restriction to sell any Collateral Obligation that (i) has a Material Covenant Default or (ii) becomes subject to a proposed Maturity
Amendment; provided the Collateral Manager either would not be permitted to, or would not elect to recommend that the Issuer, enter into such Maturity Amendment pursuant to the Collateral Manager Standard or any provision of this Indenture or
the Collateral Management Agreement. 
 (k) Stated Maturity. The Collateral Manager may direct the Trustee to sell any Collateral
Obligation in order to repay the Notes at their Stated Maturity. 
 Section 12.2 Purchase of Additional Collateral Obligations.
On any date during the Reinvestment Period, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer may, subject to the other requirements in this Indenture and compliance with the Portfolio Acquisition and Disposition Requirements, direct the Trustee to
invest Principal Proceeds, proceeds of additional notes issued pursuant to Section 2.13 and 3.2, amounts on deposit in the Ramp-Up Account, Principal Financed Accrued Interest and Principal Financed Capitalized Interest, and the
Trustee shall invest such Principal Proceeds and other amounts in accordance with such direction. After the Reinvestment Period, the Collateral Manager shall not direct the Trustee to invest any such amounts on behalf of the Issuer; provided
that in accordance with Section 12.2(d), Cash on deposit in any Account (other than the Payment Account) may be invested in Eligible Investments following the Reinvestment Period. 

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

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

(iii) (A) in the case of an additional Collateral Obligation purchased with the proceeds from the sale of a Credit Risk
Obligation or a Defaulted Obligation, either (1) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all additional Collateral Obligations purchased with the proceeds from such sale will at least equal the Sale Proceeds from such sale, (2) the
aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Collateral Obligations will be maintained or increased (when compared to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Collateral Obligations immediately prior to such sale) or (3) the
Adjusted Collateral Principal Amount (excluding the Collateral Obligation being sold but 

  
 -186- 

 
including, without duplication, the Collateral Obligation being purchased and the anticipated cash proceeds, if any, of such sale that are not applied to the purchase of such additional
Collateral Obligation) will be greater than the Reinvestment Target Par Balance and (B) in the case of any other purchase of additional Collateral Obligations purchased with the proceeds from the sale of a Collateral Obligation, either
(1) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Collateral Obligations will be maintained or increased (when compared to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Collateral Obligations immediately prior to such sale) or
(2) the Adjusted Collateral Principal Amount (excluding the Collateral Obligation being sold but including, without duplication, the Collateral Obligation being purchased and the anticipated cash proceeds, if any, of such sale that are not
applied to the purchase of such additional Collateral Obligation) will be greater than the Reinvestment Target Par Balance; 

(iv) either (A) each requirement or test, as the case may be, of the Concentration Limitations and the Collateral Quality
Test will be satisfied or (B) if any such requirement or test was not satisfied immediately prior to such investment, such requirement or test will be maintained or improved after giving effect to the investment; 

(v) if the Weighted Average Life Test is not satisfied immediately prior to the purchase of an additional Collateral
Obligation, the Average Life of such additional Collateral Obligation shall be less than or equal to the level of the Weighted Average Life Test in effect as of the date of such purchase; and 

(vi) the date on which the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) commits to purchase such Collateral Obligation
occurs during the Reinvestment Period. 
 If the Issuer has entered into a written trade ticket or other written binding commitment to purchase a Collateral
Obligation during the Reinvestment Period which purchase is not scheduled to settle prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period (such Collateral Obligation, a “Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligation”), such Post-Reinvestment
Period Settlement Obligation shall be treated as having been purchased by the Issuer prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period for purposes of the Investment Criteria, and Principal Proceeds received after the end of the Reinvestment Period may be
applied to the payment of the purchase price of such Post-Reinvestment Period Settlement Obligation. Not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the end of the Reinvestment Period, the Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Trustee a
schedule of Collateral Obligations purchased by the Issuer with respect to which purchases the trade date has occurred but the settlement date has not yet occurred and shall certify to the Trustee that sufficient Principal Proceeds are available
(including for this purpose, cash on deposit in the Principal Collection Subaccount as well as any Principal Proceeds received by the Issuer from the sale of Collateral Obligations for which the trade date has already occurred but the settlement
date has not yet occurred) to effect the settlement of such Collateral Obligation. 
 (b) Trading Plan Period. For purposes of
calculating compliance with the Investment Criteria, at the election of the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion and with prior notice to the Trustee, any proposed investment (whether a single Collateral Obligation or a group of Collateral
Obligations) identified as such in such notice by the Collateral Manager at the time 

  
 -187- 

 
when compliance with the Investment Criteria is required to be calculated (a “Trading Plan”) may be evaluated after giving effect to all sales and reinvestments proposed to
be entered into within the ten Business Days following the date of determination of such compliance (such period, the “Trading Plan Period”); provided that (v) no Trading Plan may result in the purchase of Collateral
Obligations having an Aggregate Principal Balance that exceeds 5% of the Collateral Principal Amount as of the first day of the Trading Plan Period, (w) no Trading Plan Period may include a Determination Date, (x) no more than one Trading
Plan may be in effect at any time during a Trading Plan Period, (y) no proposed investment identified by the Collateral Manager for acquisition as part of any Trading Plan shall have a stated maturity within the six-month period beginning on
the effective date of such Trading Plan Period and (z) if the Investment Criteria are satisfied prospectively after giving effect to a Trading Plan but are not satisfied upon the expiry of the related Trading Plan Period, notice will be given
to each Rating Agency for each subsequent Trading Plan until a subsequent Trading Plan is successfully completed. Notice of any Trading Plan from the Collateral Manager shall include the details of such Trading Plan (including the proposed
amendments and/or proposed investments identified by the Collateral Manager for acquisition or entry, as applicable, as part of such Trading Plan). The Collateral Manager will provide notice to the Trustee promptly after a Trading Plan is executed,
and the Trustee will post such notice on the Trustee’s website, and the Trustee will report the details of any such Trading Plan provided by the Collateral Manager (including the proposed amendments and/or proposed investments identified by the
Collateral Manager for acquisition or entry, as applicable, as part of such Trading Plan) on a dedicated page of the Monthly Report pursuant to Section 10.8(a) hereof. 

(c) Certification by Collateral Manager. Not later than the Settlement Date for any Collateral Obligation purchased in accordance with
this Section 12.2, the Collateral Manager shall deliver by e-mail or other electronic transmission to the Trustee a Responsible Officer’s certificate of the Collateral Manager certifying that such purchase complies with this
Section 12.2 and Section 12.4. The Trustee hereby agrees to post any notice received from the Collateral Manager of any Trading Plan entered into by the Issuer and provided to the Trustee by the Collateral Manager pursuant to
Section 12.2(b) on the Trustee’s website. 
 (d) Investment in Eligible Investments. Cash on deposit in any Account
(other than the Payment Account) may be invested at any time in Eligible Investments in accordance with Article X. 

Section 12.3 Optional Repurchase or Substitution of Collateral Obligations. 

(a) Optional Substitutions. 

(i) With respect to any Collateral Obligation as to which a Substitution Event has occurred, subject to the limitations set
forth in this Section 12.3, the Transferor may (but shall not be obligated to) either (x) convey to the Retention Holder (and cause the Retention Holder to contemporaneously convey to the Issuer) one or more Collateral Obligations
in exchange for such Collateral Obligation or (y) deposit into the Principal Collection Subaccount the Transfer Deposit Amount with respect to such Collateral Obligation and then, prior to the expiration of the Substitution Period, convey to
the Retention Holder (and cause the Retention Holder to contemporaneously convey to the Issuer) one or more Collateral Obligations in exchange for the funds so deposited or a portion thereof. 

  
 -188- 

 (ii) Any substitution pursuant to this Section 12.3(a) shall be
initiated by delivery of written notice in the form of Exhibit E hereto (a “Notice of Substitution”) by the Transferor to the Trustee, the Retention Holder, the Issuer and the Collateral Manager that the Transferor intends to
substitute a Collateral Obligation pursuant to this Section 12.3(a) and shall be completed prior to the earliest of: (x) the expiration of 90 days after delivery of such notice; (y) delivery of written notice to the Trustee
from the Transferor stating that the Transferor does not intend to convey any additional Substitute Collateral Obligations through the Retention Holder to the Issuer in exchange for any remaining amounts deposited in the Principal Collection
Subaccount under clause (a)(i)(y); or (z) in the case of a Collateral Obligation which has become subject to a Specified Amendment, the effective date set forth in such Specified Amendment (such period described in clause (ii)(x), (y) or
(z), as applicable, being the “Substitution Period”). 
 (iii) Each Notice of Substitution shall specify the
Collateral Obligation to be substituted, the reasons for such substitution and the Transfer Deposit Amount with respect to the Collateral Obligation. On the last day of any Substitution Period, any amounts previously deposited in accordance with
clause (a)(i)(y) above which relate to such Substitution Period that have not been applied to purchase one or more Substitute Collateral Obligations or to fund the Revolver Funding Account if necessary with respect thereto shall be deemed to
constitute Principal Proceeds; provided that prior to the expiration of the related Substitution Period any such amounts shall not be deemed to be Principal Proceeds and shall remain in the Principal Collection Subaccount until applied to
acquire Substitute Collateral Obligations or to fund the Revolver Funding Account if necessary with respect thereto. To the extent any cash or other property received by the Issuer from the Retention Holder and by the Retention Holder from the
Transferor in connection with a Substitution Event pursuant to this Section 12.3 exceeds the fair market value of the replaced Collateral Obligation, such excess shall be deemed a capital contribution from the Transferor to the Retention
Holder and from the Retention Holder to the Issuer. 
 (iv) The substitution of any Substitute Collateral Obligation will be
subject to the satisfaction of the Substitute Collateral Obligations Qualification Conditions as of the related Cut-Off Date for each such Collateral Obligation (after giving effect to such substitution). 

(v) Prior to any substitution of a Collateral Obligation, the Collateral Manager must provide written notice thereof to
each Rating Agency. The Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer will present each Substitute Collateral Obligation proposed to be included in the Assets to Moody’s within 10 Business Days of the acquisition thereof so that Moody’s may
provide a rating and a recovery rate with respect to such Collateral Obligation; provided that (a) such Collateral Obligation may become a part of the Assets prior to the Collateral Manager’s presentment of the Collateral Obligation
to Moody’s as described herein, (b) the Collateral Manager’s failure to present a Collateral Obligation to Moody’s as described herein shall not constitute an independent breach of, or default 

  
 -189- 

 
under, any Transaction Document, and (c) the Collateral Manager shall have no obligation to present a Substitute Collateral Obligation to Moody’s if (1) a Moody’s Rating for
such Collateral Obligation has been determined by reference to Moody’s RiskCalc, (2) such Collateral Obligation has a public rating from Moody’s, or (3) such Collateral Obligation has a Moody’s credit estimate. 

(b) Repurchases. In addition to the right to substitute for any Collateral Obligations that become subject to a Substitution Event, the
Transferor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase from the Retention Holder and cause the Retention Holder to repurchase from the Issuer and convey to the Transferor any such Collateral Obligation subject to the Repurchase and
Substitution Limit. In the event of such a repurchase, the Transferor shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Transfer Deposit Amount for such Collateral Obligation (or applicable portion thereof) as of the date of such
repurchase (with the amount of the Transfer Deposit Amount representing the outstanding principal balance of the repurchased Collateral Obligation being deposited into the Principal Collection Subaccount and the amount of the Transfer Deposit Amount
representing accrued interest being deposited into the Interest Collection Subaccount, regardless of whether such amounts are deemed to be capital contributions). The Issuer and, at the written direction of the Issuer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments, consents or other documents and perform all acts reasonably requested by the Transferor or by the Collateral Manager in order to effect the transfer and release of any of the Issuer’s interests in the Collateral
Obligations (together with the Assets related thereto) that are being repurchased and the release thereof from the lien of this Indenture. To the extent any cash or other property received by the Issuer from the Retention Holder in connection with
such a repurchase exceeds the fair market value of the repurchased Collateral Obligation, such excess shall be deemed a capital contribution from the Retention Holder to the Issuer, and to the extent any cash or other property received by the
Retention Holder from the Transferor in connection with such a repurchase exceeds the fair market value of the repurchased Collateral Obligation, such excess shall be deemed a capital contribution from the Transferor to the Retention Holder. 

(c) Repurchase and Substitution Limit. At all times, (i) the Aggregate Principal Balance of all Substitute Collateral Obligations
owned by the Issuer at any time since the Closing Date plus (ii) the Aggregate Principal Balance related to all Collateral Obligations that have been repurchased by the Transferor pursuant to its right of optional repurchase or
substitution since the Closing Date and not subsequently applied to purchase a Substitute Collateral Obligation may not exceed an amount equal to 15% of the Net Purchased Loan Balance; provided that clause (ii) above shall not include
(A) the Principal Balance related to any Collateral Obligation that is repurchased by the Transferor in connection with a proposed Specified Amendment to such Collateral Obligation so long as (x) the Transferor certifies in writing to the
Collateral Manager and the Trustee that such purchase is, in the commercially reasonable business judgment of the Transferor, necessary or advisable in connection with the restructuring of such Collateral Obligation and such restructuring is
expected to result in a Specified Amendment to such Collateral Obligation, and (y) the Collateral Manager certifies in writing to the Trustee that the Collateral Manager either would not be permitted to or would not elect to enter into such
Specified Amendment pursuant to the Collateral Manager Standard or any provision of this Indenture or the Collateral Management Agreement, (B) the purchase price of any Collateral Obligations or, for the avoidance of doubt, any Equity
Securities sold by and at 

  
 -190- 

 
the option of the Issuer to the Transferor pursuant to Section 12.1(d) or Section 12.1(g) as determined as described in Section 12.1(g)(i) or (C) the
Principal Balance related to any Ineligible Collateral Obligation that is repurchased or substituted by the Transferor in connection with a mandatory repurchase or substitution thereof pursuant to the Master Loan Sale Agreement. The foregoing
provisions in this paragraph constitute the “Repurchase and Substitution Limit.” 
 (d) Third Party Beneficiaries.
The Issuer and the Trustee agree that the Transferor shall be a third party beneficiary of this Indenture solely for purposes of this Section 12.3, and shall be entitled to rely upon and enforce such provisions of this
Section 12.3 to the same extent as if it were a party hereto. 
 Section 12.4 Conditions Applicable to All Sale and
Purchase Transactions. (a) Any transaction effected under this Article XII or in connection with the acquisition, disposition or substitution of any Asset shall be conducted on an arm’s length basis and, if effected with a
Person Affiliated with the Collateral Manager (or with an account or portfolio for which the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates serves as investment adviser), shall be effected in accordance with the requirements of Section 5 of the
Collateral Management Agreement on terms no less favorable to the Issuer than would be the case if such Person were not so Affiliated, provided that the Trustee shall have no responsibility to oversee compliance with this clause (a) by
the other parties. Any sale of a Collateral Obligation or an Equity Security to the Collateral Manager, an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager, or an Affiliate of the Issuer shall be at fair market value (or as otherwise required in connection with
the repurchase or substitution of a Collateral Obligation by the Transferor under the Master Loan Sale Agreement but in no event for less than fair market value) determined as follows: the Collateral Manager shall obtain either (x) bids for
such Collateral Obligation or Equity Security from three unaffiliated loan market participants (or, if the Collateral Manager is unable to obtain bids from three such participants, then such lesser number of unaffiliated loan market participants
from which the Collateral Manager can obtain bids using efforts consistent with the Collateral Manager Standard), or (y) if the Collateral Manager is unable to obtain any bids for such Collateral Obligation or Equity Security from an
unaffiliated loan market participant, the value determined as the bid side market value of such Collateral Obligation or Equity Security either (A) as reasonably determined by the Collateral Manager (so long as the Collateral Manager is a
Registered Investment Adviser) consistent with the Collateral Manager Standard, which value shall be consented to by the Issuer through the Independent Review Party, if any, as required pursuant to Section 5 of the Collateral Management
Agreement and certified by the Collateral Manager to the Trustee or (B) as determined by a Valuation obtained by the Collateral Manager with respect thereto, and in either case such Affiliate acquires such Collateral Obligation or Equity
Security for a price equal to the value so determined (or, in connection with a repurchase or substitution by the Transferor pursuant to the Master Loan Sale Agreement at the price required therein but in no event less than fair market value). 

(b) Upon any acquisition of a Collateral Obligation pursuant to this Article XII, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest to
the Asset or Assets shall be Granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, such Asset or Assets shall be Delivered to the Custodian, and, if applicable, the Custodian shall receive such Asset or Assets. The Trustee shall also receive, not later
than the Settlement Date, an Officer’s certificate of the Issuer containing the statements set forth in 

  
 -191- 

 
Section 3.1(h); provided that such requirement shall be satisfied, and such statements shall be deemed to have been made by the Issuer, in respect of such acquisition by the
delivery to the Trustee of a trade ticket in respect thereof that is signed by a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XII or Article V to the contrary, but subject to the Portfolio Acquisition and Disposition Requirements, the Issuer shall have the right to effect any sale of any Asset or purchase of
any Collateral Obligation and the Transferor shall have the right to exercise any optional repurchase or substitution rights (1) with the consent of Noteholders evidencing at least (i) with respect to purchases, optional repurchases or
substitutions during the Reinvestment Period and sales during or after the Reinvestment Period, 75% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each Class of Notes and (ii) with respect to purchases, optional repurchases or substitutions after the
Reinvestment Period, 100% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each Class of Notes and (2) of which each Rating Agency and the Trustee have been notified. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XII or Article V to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Enforcement Event, the Issuer shall not have the right to effect any sale of any Asset or purchase of any Collateral Obligation and the Transferor shall not exercise any optional repurchase or substitution rights, in each case,
without the consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, any acquisition, disposition
or substitution of any Collateral Obligation shall satisfy the Portfolio Acquisition and Disposition Requirements. 
 Section 12.5
Hedging. The Issuer will not enter into any hedging transaction or derivatives without (a) first obtaining an Opinion of Counsel that (i) such action will not cause the Issuer to be deemed a “covered fund” under the
Volcker Rule and (ii) such hedging or derivatives transaction will not require the Collateral Manager or the Trustee to register as a “commodity pool operator” with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission with respect to the Issuer,
(b) first obtaining a certification from the Collateral Manager that (i) the written terms of the derivative directly relate to the Collateral Obligations and the Notes and (ii) such derivative reduces the interest rate and/or foreign
exchange risks related to the Collateral Obligations and the Notes, and (c) for so long as any Class A Notes are Outstanding, the consent of a Majority of the Class A Notes. 

ARTICLE XIII 

NOTEHOLDERS’ RELATIONS 

Section 13.1 Subordination. (a) Anything in this Indenture or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holders of each
Class of Notes that constitute a Junior Class agree for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes of each Priority Class with respect to such Junior Class that such Junior Class shall be subordinate and junior to the Notes of each such Priority Class
to the extent and in the manner expressly set forth in the Priority of Payments. 

  
 -192- 

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

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

ARTICLE XIV 

MISCELLANEOUS 

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

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

  
 -193- 

 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, then notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer’ right 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(d). 

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

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

  
 -194- 

 (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 reasonably deems sufficient. 
 (c) The principal amount or face amount, as the case may be, and
registered numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of such Person’s holding the same, shall be proved by the Register. 
 (d)
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder (and any transferee thereof) of such and of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note will have the right to receive access
to reports on the Trustee’s website and will be entitled to exercise rights to vote, give consents and directions which holders of the related Class of Notes are entitled to give under this Indenture upon delivery of a beneficial ownership
certificate (a “Beneficial Ownership Certificate”) to the Trustee which certifies (i) that such Person is a beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note, (ii) the amount and Class of Notes so owned, and (iii) that
such Person will notify the Trustee when it sells all or a portion of its beneficial interest in such Class of Notes. A separate Beneficial Ownership Certificate must be delivered each time any such vote, consent or direction is given;
provided that, nothing shall prevent the Trustee from requesting additional information and documentation with respect to any such beneficial owner.

delivery or by facsimile in legible form, to the Irish Listing Agent addressed to it at Maples and Calder, 75 St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin 2, Ireland, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the other parties hereto by the
Irish Listing Agent, of if to be published on the Irish Stock Exchange website, by e-mail to dublindebtlisting@maplesandcalder.com (such notices to be sent in Microsoft Word format to the extent possible). 

  
 -196- 

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

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

(d) Unless the parties hereto otherwise agree, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed
received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgment), and (ii) notices or
communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication
is available and identifying the website address therefor, provided, that if any such notice or other communication is not sent or posted during normal business hours, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the
opening of business on the next Business Day; provided, further, that if in any instance the intended recipient declines or opts out of the receipt acknowledgment, then such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been received
on the Business Day sent or posted, if sent or posted during normal business hours on such Business Day, or if otherwise, at the opening of business on the next Business Day. 

Section 14.4 Notices to Holders; Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice
to Holders of any event: 
 (a) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, or
by overnight delivery service (or, in the case of Holders of Global Notes, e-mailed to DTC), to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Register not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the
latest date prescribed for the giving of such notice; 
 (b) for so long as any Notes are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and the
guidelines of the Irish Stock Exchange so require, such notice shall also be sent to the Irish Stock Exchange; and 
 (c) such notice shall
be in the English language. 
 Any such notices shall be delivered to Holders by the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and shall be deemed to
have been given on the date of such mailing or transmission to the Irish Stock Exchange, as applicable. 
 Where this Indenture provides for
notice to holders of Interests, such notice shall be sufficiently given if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, or by overnight delivery service to Issuer, or by electronic mail transmission, at the Issuer’s address pursuant to
Section 14.3 hereof. The Issuer shall forward all notices received pursuant to the preceding sentence to 

  
 -197- 

 
the holders of Interests. The Issuer shall provide notice and a consent solicitation package to each holder of an Interest to the extent that such holder’s consent or approval is required
hereunder. The Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee confirming any such approval or consent obtained from the requisite holders of the Interests. 

Notwithstanding clause (a) above, a Holder may give the Trustee a written notice that it is requesting that notices to it be given
by electronic mail or by facsimile transmissions and stating the electronic mail address or facsimile number for such transmission. Thereafter, the Trustee shall give notices to such Holder by electronic mail or facsimile transmission, as so
requested; provided that if such notice also requests that notices be given by mail, then such notice shall also be given by mail in accordance with clause (a) above. Notices for Holders shall also be posted to the Trustee’s
website. 
 Subject to the requirements of Section 14.15, the Trustee will deliver to the Holders any information or
notice relating to this Indenture requested to be so delivered by at least 25% of the Holders of any Class of Notes (by Aggregate Outstanding Amount), at the expense of the Issuer; provided that the Trustee may decline to send any such notice
that it reasonably determines to be contrary to (i) any of the terms of this Indenture, (ii) any duty or obligation that the Trustee may have hereunder or (iii) applicable law. The Trustee may require the requesting Holders to comply
with its standard verification policies in order to confirm Noteholder status. 
 Neither the failure to mail any notice, nor any defect in
any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity or by
reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail of any event to Holders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then such notification to Holders as shall be made with the
approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder. 
 Where this Indenture
provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be
filed with the Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 

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

Section 14.6 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements herein by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns,
whether so expressed or not. 
 Section 14.7 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Indenture or
the Notes, or the application thereof to any party hereto or any circumstance, is held to be unenforceable, invalid or illegal (in whole or in part) for any reason (in any relevant jurisdiction), the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and
conditions of this Indenture or the Notes, modified by the deletion of the unenforceable, invalid or illegal portion (in any relevant 

  
 -198- 

 
jurisdiction), will continue in full force and effect, and such unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality will not otherwise affect the enforceability, validity or legality of the remaining
terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture or the Notes, as the case may be, so long as this Indenture or the Notes, as the case may be, as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the
parties as to the subject matter hereof and the deletion of such portion of this Indenture or the Notes, as the case may be, will not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical
realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. 
 Section 14.8 Benefits of Indenture. Except as
otherwise expressly set forth in this Indenture, nothing herein or in the Notes, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Collateral Manager, the Holders of the Notes and (to
the extent provided herein) and the other Secured Parties any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 

Section 14.9 Reserved. 

Section 14.10 Governing Law. This Indenture shall be construed in accordance with, and this Indenture and any matters arising out
of or relating in any way whatsoever to this Indenture (whether in contract, tort or otherwise), shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York without reference to its conflicts of laws provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of the New
York General Obligations Law). 
 Section 14.11 Submission to Jurisdiction. With respect to any suit, action or proceedings
relating to this Indenture or any matter between the parties arising under or in connection with this Indenture (“Proceedings”), each party irrevocably: (i) submits to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof; and (ii) waives any objection
which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such
Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party. Nothing herein precludes any of the parties from bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction, nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions
preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 14.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE ISSUER, THE
HOLDERS AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY. Each party hereby (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the other would not, in the event of a Proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and
(ii) acknowledges that it has been induced to enter into this Indenture by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this paragraph.

 Section 14.13 Counterparts. This Indenture (and each amendment, modification and
waiver in respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by e-mail (.pdf) or facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original, and all of which together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an
executed counterpart signature page of this Indenture by e-mail (.pdf) or facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Indenture. 

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

The Issuer agrees to coordinate with the Collateral Manager with respect to any communication to a Rating Agency and to comply with the
provisions of this Section and Section 14.16, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Collateral Manager. 

Section 14.15 Confidential Information. (a) The Trustee and each Holder of Notes will maintain the confidentiality of all
Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Person in good faith to protect Confidential Information of third parties delivered to such Person; provided that such Person may deliver or disclose Confidential
Information to: (i) such Person’s directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this
Section 14.15 and to the extent such disclosure is reasonably required for the administration of this Indenture, the matters contemplated hereby or the investment represented by the Notes; (ii) such Person’s legal advisors,
financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 14.15 and to the extent such disclosure is reasonably required for
the administration of this Indenture, the matters contemplated hereby or the investment represented by the Notes; (iii) any other Holder, or any of the other parties to this Indenture or the Collateral Management Agreement; (iv) except for

or 

  
 -200- 

 
appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under the Notes or this Indenture or (E) in the Trustee’s performance of its obligations under this
Indenture or the other transaction document related thereto; and provided that delivery to the Holders by the Trustee of any report of information required by the terms of this Indenture to be provided to Holders shall not be a violation of
this Section 14.15. Each Holder or beneficial owner of Notes will, by its acceptance of its Note, be deemed to have agreed, except as set forth in clauses (v), (vi) and (ix) above, that it shall use the Confidential Information
for the sole purpose of making an investment in the Notes or administering its investment in the Notes; and that the Trustee shall neither be required nor authorized to disclose to Holders any Confidential Information in violation of this
Section 14.15. In the event of any required disclosure of the Confidential Information by such Holder or beneficial owner such Holder or beneficial owner will, by its acceptance of its Note, be deemed to have agreed to use reasonable

Transferor, the Retention Holder, NewStar, or any of their respective affiliates or the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, information relating to
Obligors); provided that such term does not include information that: (i) was publicly known or otherwise known to the Trustee or such Holder prior to the time of such disclosure; (ii) subsequently becomes publicly known through no
act or omission by the Trustee, any Holder or any Person acting on behalf of the Trustee or any Holder; (iii) otherwise is known or becomes known to the Trustee or any Holder other than (x) through disclosure by the Issuer, the Transferor,
the Retention Holder, NewStar or any of their respective affiliates, as applicable, or (y) to the knowledge of the Trustee or a Holder, as the case may be, in each case after reasonable inquiry, as a result of the breach of a fiduciary duty or
a contractual duty to the Issuer, the Transferor, the Retention Holder, NewStar or any of their respective affiliates, as applicable; or (iv) is allowed to be treated as non-confidential with the prior written consent of the Issuer; and
(B) “Specified Obligor Information” means Confidential Information relating to Obligors that is not otherwise included in the Monthly Reports or Distribution Reports or the disclosure of which would be prohibited by Applicable

Manager may provide information to the Rating Agencies on the Issuer’s behalf without the prior written consent of the Collateral Manager. 

(b) To the extent that any of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the Trustee is required to provide any information to, or communicate
with, any Rating Agency in writing in accordance with its obligations under this Indenture or the Collateral Management Agreement, the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the Trustee, as applicable (or their respective representatives or advisers),
shall promptly post, or cause to be posted, such information or communication to the 17g-5 Website.

the Trustee or the Collateral Manager are engaged in oral communications with any Rating Agency for the purposes of determining the Initial Ratings of the Notes or undertaking credit rating surveillance of the Notes, the party communicating with

(e) Notwithstanding the requirements herein, the Trustee shall have no obligation to engage in or respond to any oral communications, for the
purposes of determining the initial credit rating of the Notes or undertaking credit rating surveillance of the Notes, with any Rating Agency or any of their respective officers, directors or employees.

the 17g-5 Website with this Indenture, Rule 17g-5, or any other law or regulation. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for
the dissemination of any identification numbers or passwords for the 17g-5 Website, including by the Issuer, any Rating Agency, the NRSROs, any of their agents or any other party. The Trustee shall not be liable for the use of any information posted

(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maintenance by NetRoadshow, Inc. of the 17g-5 Website shall not be deemed as
compliance by or on behalf of the Issuer with Rule 17g-5 or any other law or regulation related thereto. 

  
 -202- 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, a breach of this
Section 14.16 shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default. 
 ARTICLE XV 

ASSIGNMENT OF CERTAIN AGREEMENTS 

Section 15.1 Assignment of Collateral Management Agreement. (a) The Issuer hereby acknowledges that its Grant pursuant to the
first Granting Clause hereof includes all of the Issuer’s estate, right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral Management Agreement, including (i) the right to give all notices, consents and releases thereunder,
(ii) the right to give all notices of termination and to take any legal action upon the breach of an obligation of the Collateral Manager thereunder, including the commencement, conduct and consummation of proceedings at law or in equity,
(iii) the right to receive all notices, accountings, consents, releases and statements thereunder and (iv) the right to do any and all other things whatsoever that the Issuer is or may be entitled to do thereunder; provided that
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall not have the authority to exercise any of the rights set forth in (i) through (iv) above or that may otherwise arise as a result of the Grant until the occurrence of an
Event of Default hereunder and such authority shall terminate at such time, if any, as such Event of Default is cured or waived. From and after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Manager shall continue to perform
and be bound by the provisions of the Collateral Management Agreement and this Indenture applicable thereto. 
 (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 the Collateral Management Agreement, nor shall any of the obligations
contained in the Collateral Management Agreement be imposed on the Trustee. 
 (c) Upon the retirement of the Notes, the payment of all
amounts required to be paid pursuant to the Priority of Payments 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 shall cease and
terminate and all the estate, right, title and interest of the Trustee in, to and under the Collateral Management Agreement 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, as of the date hereof, the Issuer has not executed any other assignment of the Collateral Management
Agreement. 
 (e) The Issuer agrees that this assignment is irrevocable, and that it will not take any action which is inconsistent with
this assignment or make any other assignment inconsistent 

  
 -203- 

 
herewith. The Issuer will, from time to time, execute all instruments of further assurance and all such supplemental instruments with respect to this assignment as may be necessary to continue
and maintain the effectiveness of such assignment. 
 (f) The Issuer hereby agrees, and hereby undertakes to obtain the agreement and
consent of the Collateral Manager in the Collateral Management Agreement, to the following: 
 (i) The Collateral Manager
shall consent to the provisions of this assignment and agree to perform any provisions of this Indenture applicable to the Collateral Manager subject to the terms (including the Collateral Manager Standard) of the Collateral Management Agreement.

 (ii) The Collateral Manager shall acknowledge that the Issuer is assigning all of its right, title and interest in, to and

Management Agreement are also for the benefit of the Trustee. 
 (iii) The Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Trustee
copies of all notices, statements, communications and instruments delivered or required to be delivered by the Collateral Manager to the Issuer pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement. 

(iv) Neither the Issuer nor the Collateral Manager will enter into any agreement amending, modifying or terminating the
Collateral Management Agreement without satisfaction of the Global Rating Agency Condition and obtaining the consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class and a Majority of the Interests (voting separately by Class); provided that no such
satisfaction or consent will be required in connection with any amendment thereto the sole purpose of which is to (i) correct inconsistencies, typographical or other errors, defects or ambiguities or (ii) conform the Collateral Management
Agreement to the final Offering Circular or this Indenture.  
 (v) Except as otherwise set forth herein and therein
(including pursuant to Section 8 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 in accordance with the Priority of Payments set forth under Section 11.1. 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 by the Issuer 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 one year and a day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect plus one day, following such payment. Nothing in this Section 15.1 shall
preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Collateral Manager (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned period in (A) any case or Proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer, or (B) any involuntary
insolvency Proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Collateral Manager, or (ii) from commencing against the Issuer or any of its properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency,
moratorium or liquidation proceeding. 

  
 -204- 

 (g) The Issuer and the Trustee agree that the Collateral Manager shall be a third party
beneficiary of this Indenture, and shall be entitled to rely upon and enforce such provisions of this Indenture to the same extent as if it were a party hereto.

defined in the Collateral Management Agreement has occurred, the Trustee shall, not later than two Business Days thereafter, forward such notice to the Noteholders (as their names appear in the Register).

Diversity Score Calculation 

The Diversity Score is calculated as follows: 

(a) An “Issuer Par Amount” is calculated for each issuer of a Collateral Obligation, and is equal to the
Aggregate Principal Balance of all Collateral Obligations issued by that issuer and all affiliates. 
 (b) An
“Average Par Amount” is calculated by summing the Issuer Par Amounts for all issuers, and dividing by the number of issuers. 

(c) An “Equivalent Unit Score” is calculated for each issuer, and is equal to the lesser of (x) one and
(y) the Issuer Par Amount for such issuer divided by the Average Par Amount. 
 (d) An “Aggregate Industry
Equivalent Unit Score” is then calculated for each of the Moody’s industry classification groups, shown on Schedule 2, and is equal to the sum of the Equivalent Unit Scores for each issuer in such industry classification
group. 
 (e) An “Industry Diversity Score” is then established for each Moody’s industry
classification group, shown on Schedule 2, by reference to the following table for the related Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score; provided that if any Aggregate Industry Equivalent Unit Score falls between any two such
scores, the applicable Industry Diversity Score will be the lower of the two Industry Diversity Scores:

 Schedule 4 

Moody’s Rating Definitions 

MOODY’S DEFAULT PROBABILITY RATING 
  

	(a)	With respect to any Collateral Obligation (other than a DIP Collateral Obligation): 

  

	 	(i)	if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has a corporate family rating by Moody’s, then such corporate family rating; 

  

	 	(ii)	if not determined pursuant to clause (a)(i) above, if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has one or more senior unsecured obligations publicly rated by Moody’s, then the Moody’s public rating on
any such obligation as selected by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion; 

  

	 	(iii)	if not determined pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, if the obligor of such Collateral Obligation has one or more senior secured obligations publicly rated by Moody’s, then the Moody’s public
rating on any such obligation as selected by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion notched down by one notch; 

  

	 	(iv)	if not determined pursuant to clause (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) above, a credit estimate or a rating based on Moody’s RiskCalc; 

 

	 	(v)	if not determined pursuant to clause (a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iii) or (a)(iv) above, the Moody’s Derived Rating; and 

  

	 	(vi)	if not determined pursuant to clause (a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iii), (a)(iv) or (a)(v) above, then “Caa3.” 

  

	(b)	With respect to a DIP Collateral Obligation, the rating which is one subcategory below the facility rating (whether public or private) of such DIP Collateral Obligation rated by Moody’s. 

provided that, with respect to Collateral Obligations the Moody’s rating of which is determined through application of Moody’s RiskCalc,
(i) such Collateral Obligations, at all times prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period, shall not represent more than 20% of the Collateral Principal Amount and (ii) such Collateral Obligations shall not represent, after the end of the
Reinvestment Period, the greater of (x) 20% of the Collateral Principal Amount and (y) the Aggregate Principal Balance of Collateral Obligations included in the Assets which have a Moody’s rating previously determined through
application of Moody’s RiskCalc; provided, further that the Collateral Manager shall redetermine and report to Moody’s (which report shall include the Moody’s RiskCalc input and output files) the Moody’s rating for
each Collateral Obligation determined through application of Moody’s RiskCalc within 30 days after receipt of the annual audited financial statements from the related Obligor. 

  
 S-4-1 

 For purposes of calculating a Moody’s Default Probability Rating, each applicable rating (i) on credit
watch by Moody’s with positive implications will be treated as having been upgraded by one rating subcategory, (ii) on credit watch by Moody’s with negative implications will be treated as having been downgraded by two rating
subcategories and (iii) on negative outlook by Moody’s will be treated as having been downgraded by one rating subcategory. 

MOODY’S RATING 
  

	(a)	With respect to a Collateral Obligation that (A) is publicly rated by Moody’s, such public rating, or (B) is not publicly rated by Moody’s but for which a rating has been assigned by Moody’s
upon the request of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, such rating. 

  

	(b)	With respect to a Collateral Obligation that is a first-lien loan or Participation Interest in a first-lien loan (if not determined pursuant to clause (a) above), if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has a
corporate family rating by Moody’s, then such corporate family rating notched up by one notch. 

  

	(c)	With respect to a Collateral Obligation, if not determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, if the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation has one or more senior unsecured obligations publicly rated by
Moody’s, then the Moody’s public rating on any such obligation (or, if such Collateral Obligation is a first-lien loan, the Moody’s rating that is two notches higher than the Moody’s public rating on any such senior unsecured
obligation) as selected by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion. 

  

	(d)	With respect to a Collateral Obligation other than a first-lien loan or Participation Interest in a first-lien loan (if not determined pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c) above) if the obligor of such
Collateral Obligation has one or more senior unsecured obligations publicly rated by Moody’s, then the Moody’s Rating on any such obligation; 

  

	(e)	With respect to a Collateral Obligation other than a first-lien loan or Participation Interest in a first-lien loan (if not determined pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) above), if the Obligor of such
Collateral Obligation has a corporate family rating by Moody’s, then such corporate family rating notched down by one notch; 

  

	(f)	With respect to a Collateral Obligation other than a first-lien loan or Participation Interest in a first-lien loan (if not determined pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above), if the Obligor of
such Collateral Obligation has one or more subordinated obligations publicly rated by Moody’s, then the Moody’s public rating on any such obligation notched up by one notch as selected by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion;

  

	(g)	If not determined pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) above, the Moody’s Derived Rating; and 

  

	(h)	If not determined pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) above, then “Caa3.” 

provided that, with respect to Collateral Obligations the Moody’s rating of which is determined through application of
Moody’s RiskCalc, (i) such Collateral Obligations, at all times prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period, shall not represent more than 20% of the Collateral  

  
 S-4-2 

 
Principal Amount and (ii) such Collateral Obligations shall not represent, after the end of the Reinvestment Period, the greater of (x) 20% of the Collateral Principal Amount and
(y) the Aggregate Principal Balance of Collateral Obligations included in the Assets which have a Moody’s rating previously determined through application of Moody’s RiskCalc; provided, further, that the Collateral
Manager shall redetermine and report to Moody’s (which report shall include the Moody’s RiskCalc input and output files) the Moody’s rating for each Collateral Obligation determined through application of Moody’s RiskCalc within
30 days after receipt of the annual audited financial statements from the related Obligor. 
 For purposes of calculating a
Moody’s Rating, each applicable rating (i) on credit watch by Moody’s with positive implications will be treated as having been upgraded by one rating subcategory, (ii) on credit watch by Moody’s with negative implications
will be treated as having been downgraded by two rating subcategories and (iii) on negative outlook by Moody’s will be treated as having been downgraded by one rating subcategory. 

For purposes of the definitions of “Moody’s Default Probability Rating”, “Moody’s Derived Rating” and
“Moody’s Rating”, any credit estimate assigned by Moody’s and any Moody’s RiskCalc rating obtained by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager shall expire one year from the date such estimate was issued; provided that,
for purposes of any calculation under this Indenture, if Moody’s fails to renew for any reason a credit estimate for a previously acquired Collateral Obligation thereunder on or before such one-year anniversary (which may be extended at
Moody’s option to the extent the annual audited financial statements for the Obligor have not yet been received), after the Issuer or the Collateral Manager on the Issuer’s behalf has submitted to Moody’s all information that the
Issuer or the Collateral Manager believed in good faith was required to provide such renewal, (1) the Issuer for a period of 60 days will continue using the previous credit estimate assigned by Moody’s with respect to such Collateral
Obligation until such time as Moody’s renews the credit estimate for such Collateral Obligation, (2) after 60 days until the earlier to occur of the 120th day or such time as
Moody’s renews the credit estimate for such Collateral Obligation the Collateral Obligation will be treated as having been downgraded by one rating subcategory and (3) after 120 days but before Moody’s renews the credit estimate for
such Collateral Obligation, the Collateral Obligation will be deemed to have a Moody’s rating of “Caa3.” 

  
 S-4-3 

 MOODY’S DERIVED RATING 

With respect to a Collateral Obligation whose Moody’s Rating or Moody’s Default Probability Rating cannot otherwise be determined
pursuant to the definitions thereof, such Moody’s Rating or Moody’s Default Probability Rating shall be determined as set forth below. 
  

	(a)	By using any one of the methods provided below: 

  

	 	(i)	pursuant to the table below: 

  

							
	 Obligation Category

of Rated Obligation
	  	 Rating by S&P

(Public and

Monitored)

	 	(ii)	if such Collateral Obligation is not rated by S&P but another security or obligation of the Obligor has a public and monitored rating by S&P (a “parallel security”), then the rating of such
parallel security will at the election of the Collateral Manager be determined in accordance with the table set forth in subclause (b)(i) above, and the Moody’s Rating or Moody’s Default Probability Rating of such Collateral Obligation
will be determined by treating the parallel security as if it were rated by Moody’s at the rating determined pursuant to this subclause (b)(ii) and adjusting the rating of the related Moody’s rated obligations of the related Obligor by the
number of rating subcategories according to the table below: 

  

					
	 Obligation Category of

Rated Obligation
	  	 Rating of Rated Obligation
	  	 Number of Subcategories
Relative to Rated Obligation

Rating

	 Senior secured obligation
	  	greater than or equal to B2	  	-1

	 Subordinated obligation
	  	greater than or equal to B3	  	+1
	 Subordinated obligation
	  	less than B3	  	0

  

	(b)	If such Collateral Obligation is not rated by Moody’s and no other security or obligation of the issuer of such Collateral Obligation is rated by Moody’s the rating will be the rating estimate determined by
Moody’s and, if one has not been provided but Moody’s has been requested by the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the issuer of such Collateral Obligation to assign a rating or rating estimate with respect to such Collateral Obligation but
such rating or rating estimate has not been received, pending receipt of such estimate, the Moody’s Rating or Moody’s Default Probability Rating of such Collateral Obligation shall be (x) “B3” if the Collateral Manager
certifies to the Trustee that the Collateral Manager believes that such estimate will be at least “B3” and if the Aggregate Principal Balance of Collateral Obligations determined pursuant to this subclause (b)(iii) does not
exceed 15% of the Collateral Principal Amount of all Collateral Obligations, (y) if not determined pursuant to clause (x), “Caa1” if the Aggregate Principal Balance of Collateral Obligations determined pursuant to this clause
(y) does not exceed 15% of the Collateral Principal Amount of all Collateral Obligations, and (z) in either case, if such rating or rating estimate has not been received within fifteen months of the request to Moody’s,
“Caa3”. 

  

	(c)	If not determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, then “Caa3”. 

  
 S-4-4 

 For purposes of calculating a Moody’s Derived Rating, each applicable rating (i) on
credit watch by Moody’s with positive implications will be treated as having been upgraded by one rating subcategory, (ii) on credit watch by Moody’s with negative implications will be treated as having been downgraded by two rating
subcategories and (iii) on negative outlook by Moody’s will be treated as having been downgraded by one rating subcategory. 

  
 S-4-5 

 Schedule 5 

MOODY’S RISKCALC CALCULATION 

“.EDF” means, with respect to any Collateral Obligation, the lowest of (A) the weakest of the 5-year expected default frequencies
for the current year and previous 4 years for such Collateral Obligation as determined by running the current version of Moody’s RiskCalc in the Credit Cycle Adjusted (“CCA”) mode and (B) the 5-year expected default
frequency for such Collateral Obligation as determined by running the current version of Moody’s RiskCalc in the Financial Statement Only (“FSO”) mode. 

“Moody’s Industries” means any one of the Moody’s industrial classification groups as published by Moody’s from time to
time. 
 “Pre-Qualifying Conditions” means, with respect to any Collateral Obligation, conditions that will be satisfied if
the Obligor with respect to the applicable Collateral Obligation satisfies the following criteria: 
 1. an
unqualified, signed, US GAAP audit opinion for the most recent annual statement is the source for model inputs. There should be no explanatory paragraph addressing the Obligor as a going concern or indicating any significant financial concerns;

 2. the Obligor’s EBITDA is equal to or greater than U.S.$5,000,000; 

3. the Obligor’s annual sales are equal to or greater than U.S.$10,000,000; 

4. the Obligor’s book assets are equal to or greater than U.S.$10,000,000; 

5. the Obligor represents not more than 3.0% of the Collateral Principal Amount; 

6. the Obligor is a private company with no public rating from Moody’s; 

7. for the current and prior fiscal year, such Obligor’s: 

(a) EBIT/interest expense ratio is greater than 1.00:1.00 with respect to non-retail and 1.25:1.00 with respect to retail (adjusted for rent
expense); 
 (b) debt/EBITDA ratio is less than 6.0:1.0; 

8. no greater than 25% of the Obligor’s revenue is generated from any one customer of the Obligor; 

9. no financial covenants in the Underlying Documents have been modified or waived within the immediately preceding three month
period; 

  
 S-5-1 

 10. none of the original terms of the Underlying Documents have been modified or
waived within the immediately preceding three month period; and 
 11. the Obligor is a for-profit operating company in any
one of the Moody’s Industries with the exception of (i) Banking, Finance, Insurance & Real Estate (Moody’s industrial classification group #3) and (ii) Sovereign & Public Finance (Moody’s industrial
classification group #25). 
 1. The Collateral Manager shall calculate the .EDF for each of the Collateral Obligations to be rated pursuant
to this Schedule 5 and applicable inputs should be taken directly from signed, unqualified US GAAP full-year audit data. The Collateral Manager shall also provide Moody’s with the .EDF and the information necessary to calculate such
..EDF on an annual basis or more frequently upon request from Moody’s. Moody’s shall have the right (in its commercially reasonable judgment) to (i) amend or modify any of the information utilized to calculate the .EDF and recalculate
the .EDF based upon such revised information, in which case such .EDF shall be determined using the table in paragraph 2 below in order to determine the applicable Moody’s Rating, or (ii) have a Moody’s credit analyst provide a rating
estimate for any Collateral Obligation rated pursuant to this Schedule 5, in which case such rating estimate provided by such credit analyst shall be the applicable Moody’s Rating. 

2. The Moody’s Rating for each Collateral Obligation that satisfies the Pre-Qualifying Conditions shall be the lower of (i) the
Collateral Manager’s internal rating or (ii) the rating based on the .EDF for such Collateral Obligation, as determined in accordance with the table below:

 Schedule 6 

FITCH RATING DEFINITIONS 

“Fitch Rating” means, with respect to any Collateral Obligation, as of any date of determination, the rating determined in
accordance with the following methodology: 
 (a) if Fitch has issued an issuer default rating with respect to the issuer of
such Collateral Obligation, or the guarantor which unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees such Collateral Obligation, then the Fitch Rating will be such issuer default rating (regardless of whether there is a published rating by Fitch on the
Collateral Obligations of such Obligor held by the Issuer); 
 (b) if Fitch has not issued an issuer default rating with
respect to the issuer or guarantor of such Collateral Obligation but Fitch has issued an outstanding long term financial strength rating with respect to such Obligor, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be one sub category below such
rating; 
 (c) if a Fitch Rating cannot be determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b), but 

(i) Fitch has issued a senior unsecured rating on any obligation or security of the issuer of such Collateral Obligation, then
the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will equal such rating; or 
 (ii) Fitch has not issued a senior unsecured
rating on any obligation or security of the issuer of such Collateral Obligation but Fitch has issued a senior rating, senior secured rating or a subordinated secured rating on any obligation or security of the issuer of such Collateral Obligation,
then the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will (x) equal such rating if such rating is “BBB-” or higher and (y) be one sub category below such rating if such rating is “BB+” or lower; or 

(iii) Fitch has not issued a senior unsecured rating or a senior rating, senior secured rating or a subordinated secured rating
on any obligation or security of the issuer of such Collateral Obligation but Fitch has issued a subordinated, junior subordinated or senior subordinated rating on any obligation or security of the issuer of such Collateral Obligation, then the
Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be (x) one sub category above such rating if such rating is “B+” or higher and (y) two sub categories above such rating if such rating is “B” or lower; 

(d) if a Fitch Rating cannot be determined pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c) and 

(i) Moody’s has issued a publicly available corporate family rating for the issuer of such Collateral Obligation, then,
subject to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be the Fitch equivalent of such Moody’s rating; 

(ii) Moody’s has not issued a publicly available corporate family rating for the issuer of such Collateral Obligation but
has issued a publicly available long term issuer rating for such issuer, then, subject to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be the Fitch equivalent of such Moody’s rating; 

  
 S-6-1 

 (iii) Moody’s has not issued a publicly available corporate family rating
for the issuer of such Collateral Obligation but Moody’s has issued a publicly available outstanding insurance financial strength rating for such issuer, then, subject to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral
Obligation will be one sub category below the Fitch equivalent of such Moody’s rating; 
 (iv) Moody’s has not
issued a publicly available corporate family rating for the issuer of such Collateral Obligation but has issued publicly available outstanding corporate issue ratings for such issuer, then, subject to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of
such Collateral Obligation will be (x) if such corporate issue rating relates to senior unsecured obligations of such issuer, the Fitch equivalent of the Moody’s rating for such issue, if there is no such corporate issue ratings relating
to senior unsecured obligations of the issuer then (y) if such corporate issue rating relates to senior, senior secured or subordinated secured obligations of such issuer, (1) one sub category below the Fitch equivalent of such
Moody’s rating if such obligations are rated “Ba1” or above or “Ca” by Moody’s or (2) two sub categories below the Fitch equivalent of such Moody’s rating if such obligations are rated “Ba2” or below
but above “Ca” by Moody’s, or if there is no such publicly available corporate issue rating relating to senior unsecured, senior, senior secured or subordinated secured obligations of the issuer then (z) if such corporate issue
rating relates to subordinated, junior subordinated or senior subordinated obligations of such issuer, (1) one sub category above the Fitch equivalent of such Moody’s rating if such obligations are rated “B1” or above by
Moody’s or (2) two sub categories above the Fitch equivalent of such Moody’s rating if such obligations are rated “B2” or below by Moody’s; 

(v) S&P has issued a publicly available issuer credit rating for the issuer of such Collateral Obligation, then, subject to
subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be the Fitch equivalent of such S&P rating; 

(vi) S&P has not issued a publicly available issuer credit rating for the issuer of such Collateral Obligation but S&P
has issued a publicly available outstanding insurance financial strength rating for such issuer, then, subject to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be one sub category below the Fitch equivalent of such
S&P rating; 
 (vii) S&P has not issued a publicly available issuer credit rating for the issuer of such Collateral
Obligation but has issued publicly available outstanding corporate issue ratings for such issuer, then, subject to subclause (viii) below, the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation will be (x) if such corporate issue rating relates to
senior unsecured obligations of such issuer, the Fitch equivalent of the S&P rating for such issue, if there is no such corporate issue ratings relating to senior unsecured obligations of the issuer then (y) if such corporate issue rating
relates to senior, senior secured or subordinated secured obligations of such issuer, (1) the Fitch equivalent of such S&P rating if such obligations are rated “BBB “ or above by S&P or (2) one sub category below the
Fitch equivalent of such S&P rating if such obligations are rated “BB+” or below by S&P, or if there is no 

  
 S-6-2 

 
such publicly available corporate issue rating relating to senior unsecured, senior, senior secured or subordinated secured obligations of the issuer then (z) if such corporate issue rating
relates to subordinated, junior subordinated or senior subordinated obligations of such issuer, (1) one sub category above the Fitch equivalent of such S&P rating if such obligations are rated “B+” or above by S&P or
(2) two sub categories above the Fitch equivalent of such S&P rating if such obligations are rated “B” or below by S&P; and 

(viii) both Moody’s and S&P provide a public rating of the issuer of such Collateral Obligation or a corporate issue
of such issuer, then the Fitch Rating will be the lowest of the Fitch Ratings determined pursuant to any of the subclauses of this clause (d); and 

(e) if a rating cannot be determined pursuant to clauses (a) through (d) then, (i) at the discretion of the
Collateral Manager, the Fitch Rating may be based on a credit opinion provided by Fitch, and in connection therewith, the Issuer, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer or the Obligor of such Collateral Obligation will, prior to or within
thirty (30) days after the acquisition of such Collateral Obligation, apply to Fitch for a credit opinion (which shall be the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation) and a recovery rating with respect to such Collateral Obligation;
provided that, until the receipt from Fitch of such credit opinion, such Collateral Obligation will have a Fitch Rating of (x) “B-” if the Collateral Manager certifies to the Trustee that it believes that the credit opinion
will be at least equal to such rating, or (y) otherwise, the rating specified as applicable thereto by Fitch pending receipt of such credit opinion; provided, further, that such credit opinion shall expire 12 months after the
acquisition of such Collateral Obligation, following which such Collateral Obligation shall have a Fitch Rating of “CCC” unless, during such 12-month period, the Issuer applies for renewal thereof in accordance with
Section 7.14(b), in which case such credit opinion will continue to be the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation until Fitch has confirmed or revised such credit opinion, upon which such confirmed or revised credit opinion will be
the Fitch Rating of such Collateral Obligation; or (ii) the Issuer may assign a Fitch Rating of “CCC” or lower to such Collateral Obligation which is not in default; 

provided, that (x) on the Closing Date, if any rating described above is (i) on rating watch negative or negative credit watch, the rating
will be the Fitch Rating as determined above adjusted down by one subcategory, or (ii) on outlook negative, the rating will be the Fitch Rating as determined above, and (y) after the Closing Date, if any rating described above is
(i) on rating watch negative or negative credit watch, the rating will be the Fitch Rating as determined above adjusted down by one subcategory, or (ii) on outlook negative, the rating will not be adjusted; provided, further,
that the Fitch Rating may be updated by Fitch from time to time as indicated in the “Global Rating Criteria for CLOs and Corporate CDOs” report issued by Fitch and available at www.fitchratings.com. For the avoidance of doubt, the Fitch
Rating takes into account adjustments for assets that are on rating watch negative or negative credit watch, as well as negative outlook prior to determining the issue rating or in the determination of the lower of the Moody’s and S&P
rating public ratings.

 The following steps are used to calculate the Fitch IDR equivalent ratings: 

 

	1	Public or private Fitch-issued IDR. 

  
 S-6-4 

	2	If Fitch has not issued an IDR, but has an outstanding Long-Term Financial Strength Rating, then the IDR equivalent is one rating lower. 

 

	3	If Fitch has not issued an IDR, but has outstanding corporate issue ratings, then the IDR equivalent is calculated using the mapping in the table above. 

 

	4	If Fitch does not rate the issuer or any associated issuance, then determine a Moody’s and S&P equivalent to Fitch’s IDR pursuant to steps 5 and 6. 

 

	5a	A public Moody’s-issued Corporate Family Rating (CFR) is equivalent in definition terms to the Fitch IDR. If Moody’s has not issued a CFR, but has an outstanding LT issuer Rating, then this is equivalent to
the Fitch IDR. 

  

	5b	If Moody’s has not issued a CFR, but has an outstanding Insurance Financial Strength Rating, then the Fitch IDR equivalent is one rating lower. 

 

	5c	If Moody’s has not issued a CFR, but has outstanding corporate issue ratings, then the Fitch IDR equivalent is calculated using the mapping in the table above. 

 

	6a	A public S&P-issued Issuer Credit Rating (ICR) is equivalent in terms of definition to the Fitch IDR. 

  

	6b	If S&P has not issued an ICR, but has an outstanding Insurance Financial Strength Rating, then the Fitch IDR equivalent is one rating lower. 

 

	6c	If S&P has not issued an ICR, but has outstanding corporate issue ratings, then the Fitch IDR equivalent is calculated using the mapping in the table above. 

7 If both Moody’s and S&P provide a public rating on the issuer or an issue, the lower of the two Fitch IDR equivalent ratings will be used in PCM.
Otherwise the sole public Fitch IDR equivalent rating from Moody’s or S&P will be applied.

provided that the Fitch recovery rating in respect of such DIP Collateral Obligation shall be considered to be “RR3” pending provision by Fitch of such Fitch recovery rating, and the recovery rate applicable to such DIP Collateral
Obligation shall be the recovery rate corresponding to such Fitch recovery rating in the table above; and 
 (c) if such
Collateral Obligation has no public Fitch recovery rating and no recovery rating is assigned by Fitch in the context of provision by Fitch of a credit opinion to the Collateral Manager, the recovery rate applicable will be the rate determined in

 Fitch Test Matrix 

Subject to the provisions provided below, on or after the Effective Date, the Collateral Manager will have the option to elect which of the
cases set forth in the matrix below (the “Fitch Test Matrix”) shall be applicable for purposes of the Maximum Fitch Rating Factor Test, the Minimum Weighted Average Fitch Recovery Rate Test and the Minimum Fitch Floating Spread
Test. For any given case: 
 (a) the applicable value for determining satisfaction of the Maximum Fitch Rating Factor Test
will be the value set forth in the column header (or linear interpolation between two adjacent columns, as applicable) of the row-column combination in the Fitch Test Matrix selected by the Collateral Manager; 

  
 S-7-2 

 (b) the applicable value for determining satisfaction of the Minimum Fitch
Floating Spread Test will be the percentage set forth in the row header (or linear interpolation between two adjacent rows as applicable) of the row-column combination in the Fitch Test Matrix selected by the Collateral Manager; and 

(c) the applicable value for determining satisfaction of the Minimum Weighted Average Fitch Recovery Rate Test will be the
value in the intersection cell (or linear interpolation between two adjacent rows and/or two adjacent columns, as applicable) of the row-column combination in the Fitch Test Matrix selected by the Collateral Manager in relation to (a) and
(b) above. 
 On the Effective Date, the Collateral Manager will be required to elect which case shall apply initially by written
notice to the Issuer and Fitch (with a copy to the Trustee). Thereafter, on two Business Days’ notice to the Issuer and Fitch (with a copy to the Trustee), the Collateral Manager may elect to have a different case apply, provided that the
Maximum Fitch Rating Factor Test, the Minimum Weighted Average Fitch Recovery Rate Test and the Minimum Fitch Floating Spread Test applicable to the case to which the Collateral Manager desires to change are satisfied after giving effect to such
change or, in the case of any tests that are not satisfied, the Issuer’s level of compliance with such tests is improved after giving effect to the application of the different case.
