Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment and, upon receipt by wire transfer of the Custodial Funds in accordance with Section 3 below, agrees to hold, invest and disburse the Custodial Funds in accordance with this Agreement.

3. Deposit of Custodial Funds. (i) Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this

1

Agreement, Depositor will transfer funds in the amount equal to the Initial Deposit Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account designated by Escrow Agent (such account, the “Escrow Account”), (ii) on the date additional Notes are issued pursuant to the Underlying Agreement in connection with the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, Depositor will, with advance written notice to Escrow Agent, deliver cash in an amount determined by Depositor sufficient to pay all required payments of interest (excluding Additional Interest, if any) through the Second Payment Date to Holders of Notes issued pursuant to the terms of the Underlying Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the Escrow Account, and (iii) if additional Notes are issued pursuant to the Underlying Agreement prior to the Second Payment Date, Depositor will, with advance written notice to Escrow Agent, transfer additional funds, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to Escrow Agent (collectively, the “Custodial Funds”).

4. Disbursement of Custodial Funds upon Written Direction. Following the Second Payment Date, Escrow Agent shall disburse Custodial Funds at any time and from time to time, upon receipt of, and in accordance with, a Written Direction. Such Written Direction shall contain complete payment instructions, including complete wiring instructions or an address to which a check shall be sent. Depositor shall have full responsibility for the accuracy and sufficiency of payment instructions and Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility therefor. The form of Written Direction directing the disbursement of funds may be substantially in the form of Schedule A hereto; provided, however, that other forms of Written Direction may be acceptable to Escrow Agent in its reasonable discretion. Prior to any disbursement, Escrow Agent shall have received reasonable identifying information regarding the recipient such that Escrow Agent may comply with its regulatory obligations and reasonable business practices, including without limitation a completed United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable. All disbursements of funds from the Custodial Funds shall be subject to the fees and claims of Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 11 and Section 12 below.

5. Regular Interest Payments. On each of November 1, 2016 and the Second Payment Date, Escrow Agent, upon receipt of a Written Direction from the Company in the form of Schedule A hereto, shall disburse Custodial Funds to the Trustee in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate amount of interest (excluding any Additional Interest) to be paid on the Notes on such date; provided, however that if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 6.01 of the Indenture and the Notes have become due and payable by acceleration under Section 6.02 of the Indenture, the Escrow Agent shall, upon receipt of a written notice from the Trustee (unless each of the Trustee and the Escrow Agent are U.S. Bank National Association, in which case no such written notice shall be required), disburse all of the Custodial Funds to the Trustee. The scheduled interest payments due on the Notes through and including the Second Payment Date are to be made from (1) amounts held in the Escrow Account in accordance with the procedures set forth herein and (2) if required, other sources of funds available to Depositor; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed as limiting Depositor’s obligation to make all interest payments due on the Notes at the times and in the amounts required under the Notes. The Written Direction delivered by the Depositor to the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 5 shall include complete payment instructions, including the identity of the Trustee, complete wiring instructions and the amount of such payment to be made to the Trustee. Depositor shall have full responsibility for the accuracy and sufficiency of payment instructions and Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility therefor.

6. Suspension of Performance; Disbursement into Court. If, at any time, (a) there shall exist any dispute with respect to the holding or disposition of all or any portion of the Custodial Funds or any other obligations of Escrow Agent hereunder, (b) Escrow Agent is unable to determine, to Escrow Agent’s sole satisfaction, the proper disposition of all or any portion of the Custodial Funds or Escrow Agent’s proper actions with respect to its obligations hereunder, or (c) Depositor has not, within thirty (30) calendar days of the furnishing by Escrow Agent of a notice of resignation pursuant to Section 8 hereof, appointed a successor Escrow Agent to act hereunder, then Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion, take either or both of the following actions: (i) suspend the performance of any of its obligations (including without limitation any

2

disbursement obligations) under this Agreement until such dispute or uncertainty shall be resolved to the sole satisfaction of Escrow Agent or until a successor Escrow Agent shall have been appointed, and (ii) petition (by means of an interpleader action or any other appropriate method) any court of competent jurisdiction, in any venue convenient to Escrow Agent, for instructions with respect to such dispute or uncertainty, and to the extent required or permitted by law, pay into such court, for holding and disposition in accordance with the instructions of such court, all Custodial Funds, after deduction and payment to Escrow Agent of all fees and expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees) payable to, incurred by, or expected to be incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties and the exercise of its rights hereunder. Escrow Agent shall have no liability to Depositor or any other person with respect to any such suspension of performance or disbursement into court, specifically including any liability or claimed liability that may arise, or be alleged to have arisen, out of or as a result of any delay in the disbursement of the Custodial Funds or any delay in or with respect to any other action required or requested of Escrow Agent.

7. Investment of Funds. Based upon Depositor’s prior review of investment alternatives, in the absence of further specific written direction to the contrary, Escrow Agent is directed to invest and reinvest the Custodial Funds in the investment indicated on Schedule B hereto. Depositor may provide Written Direction changing the investment of the Custodial Funds; provided, however, that no investment may be made except in the following: (i) direct obligations of the United States of America or obligations the principal of and the interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United State of America; (ii) U.S. dollar denominated demand and time deposit accounts with a national bank or banking association (including Escrow Agent) which has a rating on its short-term deposits on the date of investment of “A-1” or “A-l+” by Standard &Poor’s and “P-1” by Moody’s and maturing no more than 360 days after the date of investment (ratings on holding companies are not considered as the rating of the bank); or (iii) money market funds, including funds managed by Escrow Agent or any of its affiliates, rated on the date of investment “AAAm” by Standard &Poor’s or “Aaa-mf” by Moody’s; provided, however, that Escrow Agent will not be directed to invest in investments that Escrow Agent in its sole discretion determines are not consistent with Escrow Agent’s policy or practices. Depositor acknowledges that Escrow Agent does not have a duty nor will it undertake any duty to provide investment advice. To the extent that Depositor directs Escrow Agent to invest in a money market fund as described in clause (iii) of this Section 7, Depositor acknowledges that it has received from Escrow Agent, either directly or via access to a relevant website, a current copy of the prospectus for the investment it has authorized, prior to providing such authorization.

All investments shall be made in the name of Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Escrow Agent may, without notice to Depositor, sell or liquidate any of the foregoing investments at any time for any disbursement of Custodial Funds permitted or required hereunder. All investment earnings shall become part of the Custodial Funds and investment losses shall be charged against the Custodial Funds. Escrow Agent shall not be liable or responsible for loss in the value of any investment made pursuant to this Agreement, or for any loss, cost or penalty resulting from any sale or liquidation of the Custodial Funds. With respect to any Custodial Funds received by Escrow Agent after twelve o’clock, p.m., St. Paul, Minnesota, local time, Escrow Agent shall not be required to invest such funds or to effect any investment instruction until the next day upon which banks in St. Paul, Minnesota and the New York Stock Exchange are open for business.

8. Resignation of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from the performance of its duties hereunder at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to Depositor specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. Upon any such notice of resignation, Depositor shall appoint a successor Escrow Agent hereunder prior to the effective date of such resignation. If Depositor fails to appoint a successor Escrow Agent within such time, Escrow Agent shall have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Escrow Agent, and all costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees) related to such petition shall be paid by Depositor. The retiring Escrow Agent shall transmit all records pertaining to the Custodial Funds and shall pay all Custodial Funds to the successor Escrow Agent, after making copies of such records as the retiring Escrow Agent deems advisable and after deduction and payment to the retiring Escrow Agent of all fees and expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees)

3

payable to, incurred by, or expected to be incurred by the retiring Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties and the exercise of its rights hereunder. After any retiring Escrow Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Escrow Agent under this Agreement.

9. Binding Effect; Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon the respective parties hereto and their heirs, executors, successors or assigns. If Escrow Agent consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business (including the escrow contemplated by this Agreement) to another corporation, the successor or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Escrow Agent.

10. Liability of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein and no duties shall be implied. Escrow Agent has no fiduciary or discretionary duties of any kind. Escrow Agent shall have no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the provisions of any agreement other than this Agreement, including without limitation any other agreement between the parties hereto or other persons even though reference thereto may be made herein. In no event shall Escrow Agent have any responsibility to determine, investigate or monitor whether any action it is requested to take hereunder fulfills or complies with Depositor’s obligations with respect to the Underlying Agreement or to any third party. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the sole cause of any loss to Depositor. Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility shall be for the safekeeping of the Custodial Funds in accordance with Escrow Agent’s customary practices and disbursement thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of any fact or circumstance not specifically set forth herein. Escrow Agent may rely upon any notice, instruction, request or other instrument, not only as to its due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall believe to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the person or parties purporting to sign the same. In no event shall Escrow Agent be liable for incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages or penalties (including, but not limited to lost profits), even if Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such damages or penalty and regardless of the form of action. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control, including without limitation acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war or terror, epidemics, governmental regulations, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any legal action or commence any proceeding in connection with the Custodial Funds, any account in which Custodial Funds are deposited, this Agreement or the Underlying Agreement, or to appear in, prosecute or defend any such legal action or proceeding. Escrow Agent may consult legal counsel selected by it in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions hereof or of any other agreement or of its duties hereunder, or relating to any dispute involving any party hereto, and shall incur no liability and shall be fully indemnified from any liability whatsoever in acting in accordance with the advice of such counsel. Depositor shall promptly pay, upon demand, the reasonable fees and expenses of any such counsel. Depositor agrees to perform or procure the performance of all further acts and things, and execute and deliver such further documents, as may be required by law or as Escrow Agent may reasonably request in connection with its duties hereunder.

Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to comply with final orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to the Custodial Funds, without determination by Escrow Agent of such court’s jurisdiction in the matter. If any portion of the Custodial Funds is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order, or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part thereof, then and in any such event, Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree which it is advised by legal counsel selected by it is binding upon it without the need for appeal or other action; and if Escrow Agent

4

complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

11. Indemnification of Escrow Agent. From and at all times after the date of this Agreement, Depositor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent and each director, officer, employee, attorney, agent and affiliate of Escrow Agent (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any and all actions, claims (whether or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, costs and expenses of any kind or nature (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or in any way relating to the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or failure of performance in connection with this Agreement or any transactions contemplated herein, whether or not any such Indemnified Party is a party to any such action, proceeding, suit or the target of any such inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any liability finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to no further appeal, to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Depositor further agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party for all costs, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the enforcement of Depositor’s indemnification obligations hereunder. Each Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to select and employ separate counsel with respect to any action or claim brought or asserted against it, and the reasonable fees of such counsel shall be paid upon demand by Depositor. The obligations of Depositor under this Section 11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent.

12. Compensation of Escrow Agent. Depositor agrees to compensate Escrow Agent on demand for its services hereunder in accordance with Schedule C hereto. The obligations of Depositor under this Section 12 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent is authorized to, and may disburse to itself from the Custodial Funds, from time to time, the amount of any compensation and reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses due and payable hereunder (including any amount to which Escrow Agent or any Indemnified Party is entitled to seek indemnification hereunder). Escrow Agent shall notify Depositor of any disbursement from the Custodial Funds to itself or any Indemnified Party in respect of any compensation or reimbursement hereunder and shall furnish Depositor copies of related invoices and other statements. Depositor hereby grants to Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Parties a security interest in, lien upon and right of offset against the Custodial Funds with respect to any compensation or reimbursement due any of them hereunder (including any claim for indemnification hereunder). If for any reason the Custodial Funds are insufficient to cover such compensation and reimbursement, Depositor shall promptly pay such amounts to Escrow Agent or any Indemnified Party upon receipt of an itemized invoice.

13. Representations and Warranties. Depositor makes the following representations and warranties to Escrow Agent: (a) it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; and this Agreement has been duly approved by all necessary action and constitutes its valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms; and (b) each of the applicable persons designated on Schedule D hereto have been duly appointed to act as authorized representatives hereunder and individually have full power and authority to execute and deliver any Written Direction, to amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement and to take any and all other actions as authorized representatives under this Agreement, all without further consent or direction from, or notice to, it or any other party, provided that any change in designation of such authorized representatives shall be provided by written notice delivered to each party to this Agreement.

14. Identifying Information. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

5

entity. Escrow Agent may ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation. Depositor acknowledges that a portion of the identifying information set forth herein is being requested by Escrow Agent in connection with the USA Patriot Act, Pub.L.107-56 (the “Act”), and each agrees to provide any additional information requested by Escrow Agent in connection with the Act or any other legislation or regulation to which Escrow Agent is subject, in a timely manner.

15. Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. In the event that any party hereto commences a lawsuit or other proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to the personal jurisdiction by and venue in the state and federal courts in the State of New York and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue.

17. Optional Security Procedures. In the event funds transfer instructions, address changes or change in contact information are given (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Agreement), whether in writing, by facsimile or otherwise, Escrow Agent is authorized but shall be under no duty to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on Schedule D hereto, and Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in writing actually received and acknowledged by Escrow Agent and shall be effective only after Escrow Agent has a reasonable opportunity to act on such changes. If Escrow Agent is unable to contact any of the designated representatives identified in Schedule D, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized but shall be under no duty to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to any one or more of Depositor’s executive officers (“Executive Officers”), as the case may be, which shall include the titles of Chief Executive Officer, President, Vice President, Treasurer, General Partner and Managing Partner, as Escrow Agent may select. Such Executive Officer shall deliver to Escrow Agent a fully executed incumbency certificate, and Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be any such officer.

Escrow Agent in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by Depositor to identify (a) the beneficiary, (b) the beneficiary’s bank, or (c) an intermediary bank. Escrow Agent may apply any of the Custodial Funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even when its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank or an intermediary bank designated.

No course of conduct shall constitute a waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, unless such waiver is specified in writing, and then only to the extent so specified. A waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement on one occasion shall not constitute a waiver of the other terms of this Agreement, or of such terms and conditions on any other occasion. Except as provided in Section 9 hereof and as permitted by the Underlying Agreement, this Agreement may not be assigned by any party without the written consent of the other parties.

19. Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

20. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

25. Brokerage Confirmation Waiver.
