Agreement in a manner which is consistent with the terms hereof and of the Indenture and the Collateral Administration Agreement.

     5


     


    

 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 2(b), none of the services performed by the Collateral Manager shall result in or be construed
as resulting in an obligation to perform any of the following: (i) the Collateral Manager acting repeatedly or continuously as
an intermediary in securities or loans for the Issuer; (ii) the Collateral Manager providing investment banking services to the
Issuer; (iii) the Collateral Manager having direct contact with, or actively soliciting or finding, outside investors to invest

in accordance with this Agreement, the Indenture, or any other Transaction Documents or in connection with the acquisition, sale
or disposal of the Issuer’s Assets, it being understood that it is the intention of the parties that the Collateral Manager
not take any action through the power of attorney granted hereby that would cause the Collateral Manager to have custody of the
Issuer’s funds or securities within the meaning of Rule 206(4)-2 under the Advisers Act. Without limitation to the foregoing,
in no event shall the Collateral Manager have authority to cause a disbursement by the Issuer except upon the approval of the Issuer’s
designated manager.


 


(c)           Subject to the provisions concerning its general duties and obligations as set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) above and
the terms of the Indenture, the Collateral Manager shall provide, and is hereby authorized to provide, the following services to
the Issuer:


 


(i)            The Collateral Manager shall perform the investment-related duties and functions (including, without limitation, the furnishing
of Issuer Orders and Responsible Officer’s certificates) as are expressly required hereunder and under the Indenture with
regard to acquisitions, sales or other dispositions of Collateral Obligations, Equity Securities, Eligible Investments and other
assets permitted to be acquired or sold under, and subject to, the Indenture (including any proceeds received by way of Offers,
workouts and restructurings on assets owned by the Issuer) and shall comply with the Investment Criteria and the other requirements
in the Indenture. The Collateral Manager shall have no obligation to perform any other duties other than as expressly specified
herein or in the Indenture and the Collateral Manager shall be subject to no implicit obligations of any kind. The Issuer hereby
irrevocably (except as provided below) appoints the Collateral Manager 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 the performance of its duties provided
for in this Agreement or in the Indenture, but subject in all cases to Section 2(f) herein, including, without limitation, the
following powers: (A) to give or cause to be given any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder,
(B) to make or cause to be made all necessary transfers of the Collateral Obligations, Equity Securities and Eligible Investments
in connection with any acquisition, sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto and the Indenture, (C) to execute (under hand,
under seal or as a deed) and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the Issuer all necessary or appropriate
bills of sale, assignments, agreements and other instruments in connection with any such acquisition, sale or other disposition
and (D) to execute (under hand, under seal or as a deed) and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the Issuer
any consents, votes, proxies, waivers, notices, amendments, modifications, agreements, instruments, orders or other documents in
connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or the Indenture and relating to any Collateral Obligation, Equity Security or Eligible
Investment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that the power of attorney granted herein is in all cases and for all
purposes qualified and limited by the Indenture and other Transaction Documents and, as such, the power of attorney granted hereby
is limited rather than general. The Issuer hereby ratifies and confirms all that such attorney-in-fact (or any substitute) shall
lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto and authorizes such attorney-in-fact to exercise full discretion and act for the Issuer
in the same manner and with the same force and effect as the managers or officers of the Issuer might or could do in respect of
the performance of such services, as well as in respect of all other things the Collateral Manager deems necessary or incidental
to the furtherance or conduct of such services, subject in each case to the other terms of this Agreement. The Issuer hereby authorizes
such attorney-in-fact, in its sole discretion (but subject to applicable law and the provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture),
to take all actions that it considers reasonably necessary and appropriate in respect of the Assets, this Agreement, the Indenture
and the other Transaction Documents. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Collateral Manager or by a purchaser of any Collateral
Obligation, Equity Security or Eligible Investment, the Issuer shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing
and delivering to the Collateral Manager or such purchaser all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases, powers of attorney,
proxies, dividends, other orders and other instruments as may reasonably be designated in any such request. Except as otherwise
set forth and provided for herein, this grant of power of attorney is coupled with an interest, and it shall survive and not be
affected by the subsequent dissolution or bankruptcy of the Issuer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the appointment
herein of the Collateral Manager as the Issuer’s agent and attorney-in-fact shall automatically cease and terminate upon
the effective date of any termination of this Agreement, the resignation of the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 12
or any removal of the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 14. Each of the Collateral Manager and the Issuer shall take
such other actions, and furnish such certificates, opinions and other documents, as may be reasonably requested by the other party
hereto in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and to facilitate compliance with applicable laws and regulations
and the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture.


 






     6


     


    

 


(ii)           The Collateral Manager shall instruct the Issuer with respect to the acquisition of Collateral Obligations by the Issuer
in accordance with the Indenture.


 


(iii)          The Collateral Manager shall monitor the Assets on behalf of the Issuer on an ongoing basis and shall provide or cause to

information required thereby, in reasonably sufficient time for such required reports, schedules and data to be reviewed and delivered
by or on behalf of the Issuer to the parties entitled thereto under the Indenture. Pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Administration
Agreement, the Collateral Administrator shall provide certain reports, schedules and calculations to the Collateral Manager regarding
the Collateral Obligations. The obligation of the Collateral Manager to furnish such information is subject to the Collateral Manager’s
timely receipt of necessary reports and the appropriate information from the Person responsible for the delivery of or preparation
of such reports and such information (including without limitation, Obligors of the Collateral Obligations, the Rating Agency,
the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator) and to any confidentiality restrictions with respect thereto. The Collateral Manager
shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by a Person
that the Collateral Manager has no reason to believe is not duly authorized. The Collateral Manager also may rely upon any statement
made to it orally or by telephone and made by a Person the Collateral Manager has no reason to believe is not duly authorized,
and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Collateral Manager is entitled to rely on any other information furnished
to it by third parties that it reasonably believes in good faith to be genuine.

or a Credit Improved Obligation.

Obligations) shall be purchased if such Assets may give rise to any obligation or liability on the Issuer’s part to take
any action or make any payment other than at the Issuer’s option. Further, the Collateral Manager will not cause or allow
the Issuer to acquire any obligation of a Portfolio Company.


 






     10


     


    

 


(b)           The Collateral Manager will seek to obtain the best execution (but shall have no obligation to obtain the lowest price available)
for all orders placed with respect to any Transaction, in a manner permitted by law and in a manner it believes to be in the best
interests of the Issuer. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Collateral Manager may, in the allocation of business, select brokers
and/or dealers with whom to effect trades on behalf of the Issuer and may open cash trading accounts with such brokers and dealers;
provided that none of the Assets may be credited to, held in or subject to the lien of the broker or dealer with respect
to any such account. In addition, subject to the first sentence of this paragraph, the Collateral Manager may, in the allocation
of business, take into consideration research and other brokerage services furnished to the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates
by brokers and dealers which are not Affiliates of the Collateral Manager; provided that the Collateral Manager in good
faith believes that the compensation for such services rendered by such brokers and dealers complies with the requirements of Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Section 28(e)”), or in the case of principal or fixed
income transactions for which the “safe harbor” of Section 28(e) is not available, the amount of the spread charged
is reasonable in relation to the value of the research and other brokerage services provided. Such services may be used by the
Collateral Manager in connection with its other advisory activities or investment operations. The Collateral Manager may aggregate
sales and purchase orders placed with respect to the Assets with similar orders being made simultaneously for other accounts managed
by the Collateral Manager or with accounts of the Affiliates of the Collateral Manager, if in the Collateral Manager’s reasonable
judgment such aggregation can be expected to result in an overall economic benefit to the Issuer, taking into consideration the
advantageous selling or purchase price, brokerage commission or other expenses, as well as the availability of such Assets on any
other basis. In accounting for such aggregated order price, commissions and other expenses may be apportioned on a weighted average
basis. When a Transaction occurs as part of any aggregate sales or purchase orders, the objective of the Collateral Manager will
be to use commercially reasonable efforts to allocate the executions among the accounts in a manner that is fair and equitable
and over time the Collateral Manager believes, in its reasonable business judgment, to be appropriate and in accordance with its
internal policies and procedures (as such may be amended from time to time, the “Internal Policies”) and applicable
law.




 


(c)           The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that (i) the determination by the Collateral Manager of any benefit to the Issuer will
be subjective and will represent the Collateral Manager’s evaluation at the time that the Issuer can be expected to be benefited
by relatively better purchase or sales prices, lower brokerage commissions, lower transaction costs and expenses and beneficial
timing of transactions or any combination of any of these and/or other factors and (ii) the Collateral Manager shall be fully protected
with respect to any such determination to the extent the Collateral Manager acts in accordance with Section 2(a). The Issuer
acknowledges and agrees that one or more Affiliates of the Collateral Manager will hold or beneficially own all of the Outstanding
Subordinated Notes on and potentially after the Closing Date and that accounts advised or sub-advised by the Collateral Manager
or its Affiliates may acquire other Notes and that such investments may give rise to conflicts of interest between the Collateral
Manager’s duties to the Issuer under this Agreement and the interests of the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates or its Related
Persons. The Issuer hereby acknowledges that various potential and actual conflicts of interest do or may exist with respect to
the Collateral Manager, including in its capacity as investment adviser for both the Issuer and the BDC, as described in this Agreement
and in the Final Offering Circular.


 


(d)           Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations and subject to the Indenture and the Collateral Manager’s
execution obligations described in Sections 3(a), 3(b) and 3(e) and the covenants set forth in Section
5, the Collateral Manager is hereby authorized to effect client cross-transactions where the Collateral Manager causes a Transaction
to be effected between the Issuer and another account advised by it or any of its Affiliates; provided that, if and to the
extent required by the Advisers Act, such authorization is terminable prior to the initiation of such cross-transaction at the
Issuer’s option without penalty. Such termination shall be effective upon receipt by the Collateral Manager of written notice
from the Issuer. Subject to the Collateral Manager’s execution obligations described in Sections 3(a), 3(b)
and 3(e) and the covenants set forth in Section 5, the Collateral Manager is hereby authorized to effect principal
transactions and transactions where the Issuer may invest in securities of issuers in which the Collateral Manager and/or its Affiliates
have a debt, equity or participation interest, in each case in accordance with applicable law.


 






     11


     


    

 


(e)           The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates may acquire or sell obligations
or securities, for its own account or for the accounts of its customers, without either requiring or precluding the acquisition
or sale of such obligations or securities for the account of the Issuer. Such investments may be the same or different from those
made on behalf of the Issuer as to direction, amount, timing or other terms. The Issuer acknowledges that the Collateral Manager
and its Affiliates may enter into, for their own accounts or for the accounts of others, credit default swaps relating to obligors
with respect to the Collateral Obligations included in the Assets.


 


Section 4.               Additional Activities of the Collateral Manager.


 


Nothing herein shall
prevent the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses, or from rendering services of any kind
to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Initial Purchaser, any holder or beneficial owner of a Note or their respective Affiliates or any
other Person or entity regardless of whether such business is in competition with the Issuer or otherwise. Without prejudice to
the generality of the foregoing, partners, members, shareholders, directors, managers, officers, employees and agents of the Collateral
Manager, Affiliates of the Collateral Manager, and the Collateral Manager may:


 


(a)           serve as managers or directors (whether supervisory or managing), officers, employees, partners, agents, nominees or signatories
for the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof, or for any obligor in respect of any of the Collateral Obligations, Equity Securities
or Eligible Investments or any Affiliate thereof, to the extent permitted by their respective Organizational Instruments and Underlying
Instruments, as from time to time amended, or by any resolutions duly adopted by the Issuer, its Affiliates or any obligor in respect
of any of the Collateral Obligations, Eligible Investments or Equity Securities (or any Affiliate thereof) pursuant to their respective
Organizational Instruments;


 


(b)           receive fees for services of whatever nature rendered to the obligor in respect of any of the Collateral Obligations, Eligible
Investments or Equity Securities or any Affiliate thereof;


 


(c)           be retained to provide services unrelated to this Agreement to the Issuer or its Affiliates, and be paid therefor, on an
arm’s-length basis;


 


(d)           be a secured or unsecured creditor of, or hold a debt obligation of or equity interest in, the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof
or any obligor of any Collateral Obligation, Eligible Investment or Equity Security or any Affiliate thereof;


 






     12


     


    

 


(e)           subject to Section 3(b), Section 5 and applicable law sell any Collateral Obligation or Eligible Investment
to, or purchase or acquire any Collateral Obligation, Equity Security or Eligible Investment from the Issuer while acting in the
capacity of principal or agent;


 


(f)            underwrite, arrange, structure, originate, syndicate, act as a distributor of or make a market in any Collateral Obligation,
Equity Security or Eligible Investment;


 


(g)           serve as a member of any “creditors’ board”, “creditors’ committee” or similar creditor
group with respect to any Collateral Obligation, Defaulted Obligation, Eligible Investment or Equity Security; or


 


(h)           act as collateral manager, portfolio manager, investment manager and/or investment adviser or sub-adviser in collateralized
bond obligation vehicles, collateralized loan obligation vehicles and other similar warehousing or financing vehicles or other
investment vehicles.


 


As a result, such individuals
may possess information relating to obligors of Collateral Obligations that is (a) not known to or (b) known but restricted as
to its use by the individuals at the Collateral Manager responsible for monitoring the Collateral Obligations and performing the
other obligations of the Collateral Manager under this Agreement. Each of such ownership and other relationships may result in
securities laws restrictions on transactions in such securities by the Issuer and otherwise create conflicts of interest for the
Issuer. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that, in all such instances, the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates may in their
discretion make investment recommendations and decisions that may be the same as or different from those made with respect to the
Issuer’s investments and they have no duty, in making or managing such other investments, to act in a way that is favorable
to the Issuer.


 


The Issuer acknowledges
that there are generally no ethical screens or information barriers among the Collateral Manager and certain of its Affiliates
of the type that many firms implement to separate Persons who make investment decisions from others who might possess material,
non-public information that could influence such decisions. The officers or Affiliates of the Collateral Manager may possess information
relating to obligors of Collateral Obligations that is not known to the individuals at the Collateral Manager responsible for monitoring
the Collateral Obligations and performing the other obligations under this Agreement. The Collateral Manager may from time to time
come into possession of material nonpublic information that limits the ability of the Collateral Manager to effect a transaction
for the Issuer, and the Issuer’s investments may be constrained as a consequence of the Collateral Manager’s inability
to use such information for advisory purposes or otherwise to effect transactions that otherwise may have been initiated on behalf
of its clients, including the Issuer.


 


Unless the Collateral
Manager determines in its sole discretion that a Transaction complies with the provisions of Section 5, the Collateral Manager
will not direct the Trustee to acquire or sell securities issued by (i) Persons of which the Collateral Manager, any of its Affiliates
or any of its officers, directors or employees are directors or officers, (ii) Persons of which the Collateral Manager, or any
of its respective Affiliates act as principal or (iii) Persons about which the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates have
material non-public information which the Collateral Manager deems would prohibit it from advising as to the trading of such securities
in accordance with applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee will have no obligation or duty to ensure compliance
with the foregoing.


 






     13


     


    

 


It is understood that
the Collateral Manager and any of its Affiliates may engage in any other business and furnish investment management and advisory
services to others, including Persons which may have investment policies similar to or different from those followed by the Collateral
Manager with respect to the Assets and which may own securities or debt obligations of the same class, or which are of the same
type, as the Collateral Obligations or the Eligible Investments or other securities or debt obligations of the obligors of the
Collateral Obligations or the Eligible Investments as well as other assets that are the same or similar to other assets owned by
the Issuer. The Collateral Manager will be free, in its sole discretion, to make recommendations to others, or effect transactions
on behalf of itself or for others, which may be the same as or different from those effected with respect to the Assets. Nothing
in the Indenture or this Agreement shall prevent the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates, acting either as principal or
agent on behalf of others, from buying or selling, or from recommending to or directing any other account to buy or sell, at any
time, securities or obligations of the same kind or class, or securities or obligations of a different kind or class of the same
obligor, as those directed by the Collateral Manager to be purchased or sold on behalf of the Issuer. It is understood that, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Manager, its Owners, their Affiliates or their respective Related Persons
or any member of their families or a Person or entity advised by the Collateral Manager may have an interest in a particular transaction
or in securities or obligations of the same kind or class, or securities or obligations of a different kind or class of the same
obligor, as those whose acquisition or sale the Collateral Manager may direct hereunder. If, in light of market conditions and
investment objectives, the Collateral Manager determines that it would be advisable to purchase the same item of Collateral Obligation
both for the Issuer, and either the proprietary account of the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate of the Collateral Manager or
another client of the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager will allocate such investment opportunities across such entities
for which such opportunities are appropriate consistent with (i) its Internal Policies, as the same may be amended from time to
time, (ii) any applicable requirements of the Advisers Act and (iii) any allocation and/or co-investment policy or agreement entered
into with any such entity. The Collateral Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allocate such investment opportunities
in a manner that will be fair and equitable over time. The Issuer agrees that, in the course of managing the Collateral Obligations
held by the Issuer, the Collateral Manager may consider its relationships with other Clients (including obligors and issuers) and
its Affiliates. The Collateral Manager may decline to make a particular investment for the Issuer in view of such relationships.


 


The Issuer acknowledges
that the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates or their other clients may make and/or hold investments in an obligor’s obligations
or securities that may be pari passu, senior or junior in ranking to an investment in such obligor’s obligations or
securities made and/or held by the Issuer, or otherwise have interests different from or adverse to those of the Issuer.

Section 5.               Conflicts of Interest.


 


Subject to compliance
with applicable laws and regulations and subject to this Agreement and the Indenture, the Collateral Manager is hereby authorized
to effect client cross-transactions where the Collateral Manager may cause the Issuer and direct the Trustee to acquire a Collateral
Obligation or Eligible Investment from, or sell a Collateral Obligation, Equity Security or Eligible Investment to, any client
advised by the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates for market value (or, in the case of a sale to any such client or its
Affiliate, for at least market value) or, in the absence of a readily ascertainable market value, at an amount that is equal to
 “fair value” (or, in the case of a sale to any such client or its Affiliate, for an amount that is at least equal to
 “fair value”) as reasonably determined by the Collateral Manager in accordance with its relevant policies and procedures.
Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations and subject to this Agreement and the Indenture, the Collateral Manager
may effect principal transactions where the Collateral Manager may cause the Issuer and direct the Trustee to acquire a Collateral
Obligation or Eligible Investment from, or sell a Collateral Obligation, Equity Security or Eligible Investment to, the Collateral
Manager or any of its Affiliates for market value (or, in the case of a sale to the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates, for at
least market value) or, in the absence of a readily ascertainable market value, at an amount that is equal to “fair value”
(or, in the case of a sale to the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates, for an amount that is at least equal to “fair value”)
as reasonably determined by the Collateral Manager in accordance with its relevant policies and procedures; provided that
the Collateral Manager shall obtain consent to such transaction from the Independent Review Party following written disclosure
thereto prior to settlement of such transaction which shall constitute the consent of the Issuer required under Section 206(3)
of the Advisers Act (an “Affiliate Transaction”). The Issuer understands and acknowledges that, solely for the
purposes of compliance with the U.S. Risk Retention Rules, the Collateral Manager shall, with the consent of a majority of the
directors of the BDC who are not “interested persons” (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of the BDC,
enter into the Closing Date Master Loan Sale Agreement with the BDC and the Issuer pursuant to which the Issuer shall acquire Collateral
Obligations from the BDC, as seller, through the Collateral Manager, as closing date seller, on the Closing Date in a series of
transactions occurring immediately following one another.  The Issuer further understands and acknowledges that the Collateral
Manager will not receive any compensation for effectuating, or achieve any profits or losses as a result of its entry into the
Closing Date Master Loan Sale Agreement and that, at the time of the transactions referenced in the Closing Date Master Loan Sale
Agreement, the Collateral Manager will not be insolvent, and the Collateral Obligations transferred through the Collateral Manager
in such transactions would not be encumbered by any lien solely by virtue of such transactions. Subject to compliance with applicable
laws and regulations and subject to this Agreement and the Indenture, the Collateral Manager is hereby authorized to effect agency
cross-transactions where the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates may act as broker for the Issuer or for the other party
in connection with the acquisition of a Collateral Obligation or Eligible Investment or disposition or exchange of a Collateral
Obligation, Equity Security or Eligible Investment and receive compensation therefor; provided that, if and to the extent
required by the Advisers Act, such authorization is terminable prior to the completion of such agency cross-transaction at the
Issuer’s option without penalty, such termination to be effective upon receipt by the Collateral Manager of written notice
from the board of directors of the BDC, as designated manager of the Issuer. The Collateral Manager and its Affiliates so acting
have a potentially conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities to both parties to such transactions. The Issuer understands
and expects that the Collateral Manager will engage in a significant amount of client cross-transactions. The Issuer understands
that Collateral Obligations or Equity Securities that are fair valued in accordance with the Collateral Manager’s valuation
policies generally will not have readily ascertainable market values and that the fair value assigned to such Collateral Obligations
or Equity Securities, as determined in good faith by the Collateral Manager in accordance with its policies and procedures, may
not match the next available and reliable market price or, in retrospect, have been the price at which the Collateral Obligation
or Equity Security could have been purchased or sold. The Issuer acknowledges that the Collateral Manager or an Affiliate thereof
may hold or beneficially own a portion of the outstanding Notes. In certain circumstances, the interests of the Issuer and/or the
holders with respect to matters as to which the Collateral Manager is advising the Issuer may conflict with the interests of the
Collateral Manager and its Affiliates. The Issuer hereby acknowledges that various potential and actual conflicts of interest may
exist with respect to the Collateral Manager as described in this Agreement, the Indenture, the Offering Circulars provided by
the Issuer for the Notes or the Form ADV of the Collateral Manager; provided that nothing in this Section 5 shall
be construed as altering the duties of the Collateral Manager as set forth herein, in the Indenture or under applicable law. With
respect to the approval of Affiliate Transactions, the Issuer hereby appoints the independent directors of the BDC, the Issuer’s
designated manager, to act on the Issuer’s behalf by majority vote (a majority of such directors, the “Independent
Review Party”).


 






     15


     


    

 


Section 6.               Records; Confidentiality.


 


The Collateral Manager
shall maintain or cause to be maintained appropriate books of account and records relating to its services performed hereunder,
and such books of account and records shall be accessible for inspection by representatives of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Holders,
and the Independent accountants appointed by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer pursuant to Article X of the Indenture
at any time during normal business hours and upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice. The Collateral Manager
shall keep confidential any and all information obtained in connection with the services rendered hereunder and shall not disclose
any such information to non-affiliated third parties (excluding any Holders and beneficial owners of Notes) except (a) with the
prior written consent of the Issuer, (b) such information as a Rating Agency shall reasonably request in connection with its rating
of the Secured Notes or supplying credit estimates on any obligation included in the Assets, (c) in connection with establishing
trading or investment accounts or otherwise in connection with effecting Transactions on behalf of the Issuer, (d) as required
by (i) applicable law, regulation, court order, or a request by a governmental regulatory agency with jurisdiction over the Collateral
Manager or any of its Affiliates, (ii) the rules or regulations of any self-regulating organization, body or official having jurisdiction
over the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates or (iii) the rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which the Notes
may be listed, (e) to its professional advisors (including, without limitation, legal, tax and accounting advisors), (f) such information
as shall have been publicly disclosed other than in known violation of this Agreement or the provisions of the Indenture or shall
have been obtained by the Collateral Manager on a non-confidential basis, (g) such information as is necessary or appropriate to
disclose so that the Collateral Manager may perform its duties hereunder, under the Indenture or any other Transaction Document
or (h) general performance information which may be used by the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates or Owners in connection with
their marketing activities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed that the Collateral Manager may disclose (a) that it is
serving as collateral manager of the Issuer, (b) the nature, aggregate principal amount and overall performance of the Issuer’s
assets, (c) the amount of earnings on the Assets, (d) such other information about the Issuer, the Assets and the Notes as is customarily
disclosed by managers of collateralized loan obligations and (e) each of its respective employees, representatives or other agents
may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. federal income tax treatment and U.S. federal income
tax structure of the transactions contemplated by the Indenture, this Agreement and the related documents and all materials of
any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to them relating to such U.S. federal income tax treatment
and U.S. income tax structure. For purposes of this Section 6, the Holders shall not be considered “non-affiliated
third parties.”


 






     16


     


    

 


Nothing in this Section
6 prohibits any Person from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity,
including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the United States Congress, and
any agency inspector general, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law
or regulation. There is no prior authorization necessary hereunder to make any such reports or disclosures and there is no requirement
hereunder to notify the Collateral Manager that any such reports or disclosures have been made.


 


Section 7.               Obligations of Collateral Manager.


 


In accordance with
the performance standard set forth in Section 2(a), the Collateral Manager shall take care to avoid taking any action that
would (a) materially adversely affect the status of the Issuer for purposes of United States federal or state law, or other law
applicable to the Issuer, (b) not be permitted by the Issuer’s Organizational Instruments, copies of which the Collateral
Manager acknowledges the Issuer has provided to the Collateral Manager, (c) violate any law, rule or regulation of any governmental
body or agency having jurisdiction over the Issuer, including, without limitation, actions which would violate any United States
federal, state or other applicable securities law that is known by the Collateral Manager to be applicable to it and, in each case,
the violation of which would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Issuer or have a material adverse effect on the ability of the
Collateral Manager to perform its obligations hereunder, (d) require registration of the Issuer or the pool of Assets as an “investment
company” under Section 8 of the 1940 Act or (e) knowingly and willfully adversely affect the interests of the Holders in
the Assets in any material respect (other than (i) as expressly permitted hereunder or under the Indenture or (ii) in connection
with any action taken in the ordinary course of business of the Collateral Manager in accordance with its fiduciary duties to its
clients). If the Collateral Manager is ordered by the designated manager of the Issuer or the requisite Holders or beneficial owners
of Notes to take any action which would, or could reasonably be expected to, in each case in its reasonable business judgment,
have any such consequences, the Collateral Manager shall promptly notify the Issuer that such action would, or could reasonably
be expected to, in each case in its reasonable business judgment, have one or more of the consequences set forth above and shall
not take such action unless the designated manager of the Issuer then request the Collateral Manager to do so and both a Majority
of the Controlling Class and a Majority of the Subordinated Notes have consented thereto in writing. Notwithstanding any such request,
the Collateral Manager shall not take such action unless (1) arrangements satisfactory to it are made to insure or indemnify the
Collateral Manager, Affiliates of the Collateral Manager and shareholders, partners, directors, members, managers, officers or
employees of the Collateral Manager or such Affiliates from any liability and expense it may incur as a result of such action and
(2) if the Collateral Manager so requests in respect of a question of law, the Issuer delivers to the Collateral Manager an Opinion
of Counsel (from outside counsel satisfactory to the Collateral Manager) that the action so requested does not violate any law,
rule or regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Issuer or over the Collateral Manager. Neither
the Collateral Manager nor its Affiliates, shareholders, partners, directors, members, managers, officers or employees shall be
liable to the Issuer or any other Person, except as provided in Section 10. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement
to the contrary, any indemnification or insurance by the Issuer provided for in this Section 7 or Section 10 shall
be payable out of the Assets in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and the Collateral Manager may take into account such
Priority of Payments in determining whether any proposed indemnity arrangements contemplated by this Section 7 are satisfactory.


 






     17


     


    

 


Section 8.               Compensation.


 


(a)           As compensation for its performance of its obligations as Collateral Manager under this Agreement, the Collateral Manager
will be entitled to receive on each Payment Date (in accordance with the Priority of Payments) a fee (the “Collateral
Management Fee”). The Collateral Management Fee shall be payable on each Payment Date to the extent of the funds available
for such purpose in accordance with the Priority of Payments.


 


The Collateral Management
Fee is payable to the Collateral Manager in arrears, on each Payment Date (prorated for the related Interest Accrual Period) in
an amount equal to 0.35%, per annum (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable Collection Period
divided by 360) of the Fee Basis Amount at the beginning of the Collection Period relating to such Payment Date; provided
that the Collateral Management Fee payable on any Payment Date shall not include any such fee (or any portion thereof) that has
been waived or deferred by the Collateral Manager pursuant to this Section 8 no later than the Determination Date immediately
prior to such Payment Date.


 


The Collateral Management
Fee is payable on each Payment Date only to the extent that sufficient Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds are available. To
the extent the Collateral Management Fee is not paid on a Payment Date due to insufficient Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds
(and such fee was not voluntarily deferred or waived by the Collateral Manager), the unpaid portion of the Collateral Management
Fee due on such Payment Date (the “Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amount”) will be automatically deferred
for payment on the succeeding Payment Date, with interest, in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Interest on Collateral
Management Fee Shortfall Amounts shall accrue at the Prime Rate for the period beginning on the first Payment Date on which the
related Collateral Management Fee was due (and not paid) through the Payment Date on which such Collateral Management Fee Shortfall
Amount (including accrued interest) is paid.


 


At the option of the
Collateral Manager, by written notice to the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator, no later than the Determination Date immediately
prior to such Payment Date, on each Payment Date, (i) all or a portion of the Collateral Management Fees or the Collateral Management
Fee Shortfall Amount (including accrued interest) due and owing on such Payment Date may be deferred for payment on a subsequent
Payment Date, without interest (the “Current Deferred Management Fee”) and (ii) all or a portion of the previously
deferred Collateral Management Fees or Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amounts (collectively, the “Cumulative Deferred
Management Fee”) may be declared due and payable (to the extent there are sufficient Interest Proceeds and Principal
Proceeds therefor).


 






     18


     


    

 


At such time as the
Secured Notes are redeemed in connection with an Optional Redemption, a Tax Redemption or Clean-Up Call Redemption without duplication,
all accrued and unpaid Collateral Management Fees, Current Deferred Management Fees, Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amounts
(including accrued interest) and Cumulative Deferred Management Fees (the “Aggregate Collateral Management Fee”)
shall be due and payable to the Collateral Manager.


 


(b)           The Collateral Manager may, in its sole discretion (but shall not be obligated to), elect to waive all or any portion of
the Collateral Management Fee payable to the Collateral Manager on any Payment Date, notwithstanding that the Collateral Manager
may be entitled to such Collateral Management Fee. Any such election shall be made by the Collateral Manager delivering written
notice thereof to the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator no later than the Determination Date immediately prior to such Payment
Date. Any election to waive the Collateral Management Fee may also be made by written standing instructions to the Trustee and
the Collateral Administrator; provided that such standing instructions may be rescinded by the Collateral Manager at any
time.


 


(c)           Except as otherwise set forth herein and in the Indenture, the Collateral Manager will continue to serve as collateral manager
under this Agreement notwithstanding that the Collateral Manager will not have received amounts due to it under this Agreement
because sufficient funds were not then available hereunder to pay such amounts in accordance with the Priority of Payments.


 


(d)           If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, or the Collateral Manager resigns or is removed, (i) any Collateral Management
Fees calculated as provided in Section 8(a) shall be prorated for any partial period elapsing from the last Payment Date
on which such Collateral Manager received the Collateral Management Fee to the effective date of such termination, resignation
or removal and (ii) any unpaid Cumulative Deferred Management Fees and Collateral Management Fee Shortfall Amounts (including related
interest) shall be determined as of the effective date of such termination, resignation or removal and, in each case, shall be
due and payable on each Payment Date following the effective date of such termination, resignation or removal in accordance with
the Priority of Payments until paid in full; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision contained
herein, in the event the Collateral Manager’s services terminate other than by reason of an involuntary termination not for
cause, then the terminating Collateral Manager shall not be entitled to any deferred Collateral Management Fee on any Payment Date
following the date of such termination. Otherwise, such Collateral Manager shall not be entitled to any further compensation hereunder
for further services but shall be entitled to receive any expense reimbursement accrued to the effective date of termination, resignation
or removal and any indemnity amounts owing (or that may become owing) under Section 10. Any Aggregate Collateral Management
Fee expense reimbursement and indemnities owed to such Collateral Manager or owed to any successor Collateral Manager on any Payment
Date shall be paid pro rata based on the amount thereof then owing to each such Person, subject to the Priority of Payments.


 






     19


     


    

 


Section 9.               Benefit of the Agreement.


 


The Collateral Manager
shall perform its obligations hereunder and under the Indenture in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the terms of
the Indenture applicable to it. The Collateral Manager agrees and consents to the provisions contained in Section 15.1(f) of the
Indenture. In addition, the Collateral Manager acknowledges the pledge under the granting clause of the Indenture.


 


Section 10.           
 Limits of Collateral Manager Responsibility.


 


(a)           None of the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates, its Owners or their respective Related Persons assumes any responsibility
under this Agreement except that the Collateral Manager agrees to render the services required to be performed by it hereunder
and under the terms of the Indenture applicable to it. The Collateral Manager shall not be responsible for any action or inaction
of the Issuer or the Trustee in following or declining to follow any advice, recommendation or direction of the Collateral Manager
including as set forth in Section 7. The Indemnified Parties shall not be liable to the Issuer or the Trustee, any Holder,
any beneficial owner of Notes, the Initial Purchaser, any of their respective Affiliates, Owners or Related Persons or any other
Persons for any act, omission, error of judgment, mistake of law, or for any claim, loss, liability, damage, judgment, assessment,
settlement, cost, or other expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) arising out of any investment,
or for any other act or omission in the performance of the Collateral Manager’s obligations under or in connection with this
Agreement or the terms of any other Transaction Document applicable to the Collateral Manager, incurred as a result of actions
taken or recommended or for any omissions of the Collateral Manager, or for any decrease in the value of the Assets, except for
liability to which the Collateral Manager would be subject (i) by reason of acts or omissions constituting bad faith, willful misconduct
or gross negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder and under the terms of the Indenture or (ii) with respect to the
CM Information in each Offering Circular, as of the date made, containing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
(the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 10 as “Collateral Manager
Breaches”). The Collateral Manager shall not be liable for any consequential, indirect, special, punitive, exemplary
or treble damages or lost profits hereunder or under the Indenture. The Collateral Manager and any of its Affiliates may consult
with counsel, independent accountants or any other experts selected by them and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken by them in accordance with their advice. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to waive any liability which cannot
be waived under applicable state or federal law or any rules or regulations adopted thereunder.


 


(b)           The Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates and Owners and their respective Related
Persons (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, assessments,
costs or other liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) and will promptly reimburse each such Indemnified Party
for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party with respect thereto (including reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel) (collectively, “Expenses”) arising out of or in connection with the issuance of the Notes (including,
without limitation, any untrue statement of material fact contained in each Offering Circular, or omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, other than CM Information), the transactions contemplated by the applicable Offering Circular,
the Indenture, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, any Underlying Instruments and the performance of the Assets and
any acts or omissions of any such Indemnified Party; provided that such Indemnified Party shall not be indemnified for any
Losses or Expenses incurred as a result of any Collateral Manager Breach. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
the obligations of the Issuer under Section 10 to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any Losses or Expenses are non-recourse
obligations of the Issuer payable solely out of the Assets in accordance with the Priority of Payments set forth in the Indenture.

(c)           The
Collateral Manager shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its duties and obligations
under this Agreement and/or the Indenture arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including,
without limitation, strikes, pandemics, epidemics, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances,
nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer
(software and hardware) services.


 


(d)           It
is understood that certain provisions of this Agreement may serve to limit the potential liability of the Collateral Manager. The
Issuer has had the opportunity to consult with the Collateral Manager as well as, if desired, its professional advisors and legal
counsel as to the effect of these provisions. It is further understood that certain applicable laws, including applicable federal
or state securities laws, may impose liability or allow for legal remedies even where the Collateral Manager has acted in good
faith and that the rights under those laws may be non-waivable. Nothing in this Agreement shall, in any way, constitute a waiver
or limitation of any rights which may not be so limited or waived in accordance with applicable law, including with respect to
the breach of any fiduciary duty owed under Section 206 of the Advisers Act.


 


Section 11.            
No Joint Venture.


 


The Issuer and the
Collateral Manager are not partners or joint venturers with each other and nothing herein shall be construed to make them such
partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them. The Collateral Manager shall be deemed, for all
purposes herein, an independent contractor and shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the Indenture or authorized
by the Issuer from time to time, have no authority to act for or represent the Issuer in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent
of the Issuer. It is acknowledged that neither the Collateral Manager nor any of its Affiliates has provided or shall provide any
tax, accounting or legal advice or assistance to the Issuer or any other Person in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby.


 






     21


     


    

 


Section 12.            
Term; Termination.


 


(a)           This Agreement shall commence as of the date first set forth above and shall continue in force until the first of the following
occurs: (i) the final liquidation of the Assets and the final distribution of the proceeds of such liquidation to the Holders,
(ii) the payment in full of the Notes, and the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture in accordance with its terms or (iii)
the early termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 12(b) or (e) or Section 14.


 


(b)           Subject only to clause (c) below, the Collateral Manager may resign, upon 90 days’ prior written notice to
the Issuer (or such shorter notice as is acceptable to the Issuer), the Holders, and the Trustee; provided that the Collateral
Manager shall have the right to resign immediately upon the effectiveness of any material change in applicable law or regulations
which renders the performance by the Collateral Manager of its duties hereunder or under the Indenture to be a violation of such
law or regulation.


 


(c)           Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (b) above, no resignation or removal of the Collateral Manager or termination
of this Agreement pursuant to such clause shall be effective until the date as of which a successor Collateral Manager shall have
been appointed and approved in accordance with Section 12(d) and has accepted all of the Collateral Manager’s duties
and obligations pursuant to this Agreement in writing (an “Instrument of Acceptance”) and has assumed such duties
and obligations.


 


(d)           Promptly after notice of any removal under Section 14 or any resignation of the Collateral Manager that is to take
place while any of the Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer shall transmit copies of such notice to the Trustee (which shall forward
a copy of such notice to the Holders) and the Rating Agency and shall appoint an institution as Collateral Manager, at the direction
of a Majority of the Subordinated Notes, which institution (i) has demonstrated an ability, whether as an entity or by its principals
or employees, to professionally and competently perform duties similar to those imposed upon the Collateral Manager hereunder,
(ii) is legally qualified and has the capacity to assume all of the responsibilities, duties and obligations of the Collateral
Manager hereunder and under the applicable terms of the Indenture, (iii) does not cause or result in the Issuer becoming, or require
the pool of Assets to be registered as, an investment company under the 1940 Act, (iv) with respect to which the S&P Rating
Condition has been satisfied and (v) has been approved by a Majority of the Controlling Class.


 


(e)           If (i) a Majority of the Subordinated Notes fails to nominate a successor within 30 days of initial notice of the resignation
or removal of the Collateral Manager or (ii) a Majority of the Controlling Class does not approve the proposed successor nominated
by the Holders of the Subordinated Notes within ten days of the date of the notice of such nomination, then a Majority of the Controlling
Class shall, within 60 days of the failure described in clauses (i) or (ii) of this sentence, as the case may be,
nominate a successor Collateral Manager that meets the criteria set forth in Section 12(d). If a Majority of the Subordinated
Notes approves such Controlling Class nominee, such nominee shall become the Collateral Manager. If no successor Collateral Manager
is appointed within 90 days (or, in the event of a change in applicable law or regulation which renders the performance by the
Collateral Manager of its duties under this Agreement or the Indenture to be a violation of such law or regulation, within 30 days)
following the termination or resignation of the Collateral Manager, any of the Collateral Manager, a Majority of the Subordinated
Notes and a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor
Collateral Manager, in either such case whose appointment shall become effective after such successor has accepted its appointment
and without the consent of any holder or beneficial owner of any Notes.


 






     22


     


    

 


(f)            The successor Collateral Manager shall be entitled to the Collateral Management Fee set forth in Section 8(a) and
no compensation payable to such successor Collateral Manager shall be greater than as set forth in Section 8(a) without
the prior written consent of 100% of the Holders of each Class of Notes voting separately by Class, including Collateral Manager
Notes. Upon the later of the expiration of the applicable notice periods with respect to termination specified in this Section
12 or in Section 14 and the acceptance of its appointment hereunder by the successor Collateral Manager, all authority
and power of the Collateral Manager hereunder, whether with respect to the Assets or otherwise, shall automatically and without
action by any person or entity pass to and be vested in the successor Collateral Manager. The Issuer, the Trustee and the successor
Collateral Manager shall take such action (or the Issuer shall cause the outgoing Collateral Manager to take such action) consistent
with this Agreement and as shall be necessary to effect any such succession.


 


(g)           If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12, such termination shall be without any further liability
or obligation of either party to the other, except as provided in clause (h) below.


 


(h)           Sections 6, 7 (with respect to any indemnity or insurance provided thereunder), 10, 12(h), 15,
17, 21, 22, 23 and 25 shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section
12 or Section 14.


 


Section 13.            
Assignments.


 


(a)           Except as otherwise provided in this Section 13, the Collateral Manager may not assign or delegate (except as provided
in Section 2(e)) its rights or responsibilities under this Agreement unless (i) the S&P Rating Condition has been satisfied
with respect thereto, (ii) the consent of the Issuer has been obtained with respect thereto and (iii) such assignment or delegation
has not been disapproved in writing by (A) a Majority of the Subordinated Notes and (B) for an assignment to any person who is
not an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager that is a Registered Investment Adviser, a Majority of the Controlling Class within
30 days’ notice of such assignment. The Collateral Manager shall not be required to obtain such consents or satisfy such
condition with respect to a change of control transaction that is deemed to be an assignment within the meaning of Section 202(a)(1)
of the Advisers Act at the time of any such transaction; provided that, if the Collateral Manager is a Registered Investment
Adviser, the Collateral Manager shall obtain the consent of the Issuer to such assignment, in a manner consistent with SEC Staff
interpretations of Section 205(a)(2) of the Advisers Act.


 


(b)           The Collateral Manager may without satisfaction of the S&P Rating Condition, without obtaining the consent of any holder
or beneficial owner of any Note and, so long as such assignment or delegation does not constitute an “assignment” for
purposes of Section 205(a)(2) of the Advisers Act during such time as the Collateral Manager is a Registered Investment Adviser,
without obtaining the prior consent of the Issuer, (1) assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate;
provided that such Affiliate (i) has demonstrated an ability to professionally and competently perform duties similar to
those imposed upon the Collateral Manager pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) has the legal right and capacity to act as Collateral
Manager under this Agreement and (iii) shall not cause the Issuer or the pool of Assets to become required to register under the
provisions of the 1940 Act or (2) enter into (or have its parent enter into) any consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger
with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity; provided further that, at the time
of such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or transfer the resulting, surviving or transferee entity assumes all the obligations
of the Collateral Manager under this Agreement generally and the other entity is solely a continuation of the Collateral Manager
in another corporate or similar form and has substantially the same staff; provided further that such action does not cause
the Issuer to be subject to tax in any jurisdiction outside of its jurisdiction of organization; provided further that the
Collateral Manager shall deliver prior notice to the Rating Agency of any assignment, delegation or combination thereof made pursuant
to this sentence. Upon the execution and delivery of any such assignment by the assignee, the Collateral Manager will be released
from further obligations pursuant to this Agreement except with respect to its obligations and agreements arising under Sections
10, 12(g), 17, 21 through 24, and 26 in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to
such assignment and except with respect to its obligations under Section 15 after such assignment.


 






     23


     


    

 


(c)           This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Issuer without (i) the prior written consent of (A) the Collateral Manager,
(B) a Majority of the Subordinated Notes and (C) a Majority of each Class of Secured Notes (voting separately) and (ii) satisfaction
of the S&P Rating Condition, except in the case of assignment by the Issuer (1) to an entity which is a successor to the Issuer
permitted under the Indenture, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment
in the same manner as the Issuer is bound thereunder or (2) to the Trustee as contemplated by the granting clause of the Indenture.
The Issuer has assigned its rights, title and interest in (but not its obligations under) this Agreement to the Trustee pursuant
to the Indenture; and the Collateral Manager by its signature below agrees to, and acknowledges, such assignment. Upon assignment
by the Issuer, the Issuer shall use reasonable efforts to cause such assignee to execute and deliver to the Collateral Manager
such documents as the Collateral Manager shall consider reasonably necessary to effect fully such assignment.


 


(d)           The Issuer shall provide the Rating Agency and the Trustee (who shall provide a copy of such notice to the Controlling Class)
with notice of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.


 


Section 14.            
Removal for Cause.


 


(a)           The Collateral Manager may be removed for Cause upon 30 Business Days’ prior written notice by the Issuer (“Termination
Notice”) at the direction of a Supermajority of the Controlling Class or a Majority of the Subordinated Notes. Simultaneous
with its direction to the Issuer to remove the Collateral Manager for Cause, a Majority of the Subordinated Notes or a Supermajority
of the Controlling Class, as applicable, shall give to the Issuer a written statement setting forth the reason for such removal
(“Statement of Cause”). The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (who shall deliver a copy of such notice to
the Holders) a copy of the Termination Notice and the Statement of Cause within five Business Days of receipt. No such removal
shall be effective (A) until the date as of which a successor Collateral Manager shall have been appointed in accordance with Sections
12(d) and (e) and delivered an Instrument of Acceptance to the Issuer and the removed Collateral Manager and the successor
Collateral Manager has effectively assumed all of the Collateral Manager’s duties and obligations and (B) unless the Statement
of Cause has been delivered to the Issuer as set forth in this Section 14(a). “Cause” means any of the
following:






     24


     


    

  


(i)            the Collateral Manager shall willfully and intentionally violate, or takes any action that it actually knows breaches, any
material provision of this Agreement or the Indenture applicable to it (not including a willful and intentional breach that results
from a good faith dispute regarding reasonable alternative courses of action or interpretation of instructions);


 


(ii)           the Collateral Manager shall breach any material provision of this Agreement or any terms of the Indenture applicable to
it (other than as covered by clause (i) and it being understood that failure to meet any Concentration Limitation, Collateral
Quality Test or Coverage Test is not a breach for purposes of this clause (ii)), which breach would reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect on any Class of Holders and shall not cure such breach (if capable of being cured) within 30
days after the earlier to occur of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager receiving notice or having actual knowledge
of such breach, unless, if such breach is remediable, the Collateral Manager has taken action commencing the cure thereof within
such 30 day period that the Collateral Manager believes in good faith will remedy such breach within 60 days after the earlier
to occur of a Responsible Officer receiving notice or having actual knowledge thereof;


 


(iii)          the failure of any representation, warranty, certification or statement made or delivered by the Collateral Manager in or
pursuant to this Agreement or the Indenture to be correct in any material respect when made which failure (A) would reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on any Class of Holders and (B) is not corrected by the Collateral Manager within
45 days of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager receiving notice of such failure, unless, if such failure is remediable,
the Collateral Manager has taken action commencing the cure thereof within such 45 day period that the Collateral Manager believes
in good faith will remedy such failure within 75 days after the earlier to occur of a Responsible Officer receiving notice thereof
or having actual knowledge thereof; provided that the delivery of a certificate or other report which corrects any inaccuracy
contained in a previous report or certification shall be deemed to cure such inaccuracy as of the date of delivery of such updated
report or certificate and any and all inaccuracies arising from continuation of such initial inaccurate report or certificate and
the sale or other disposition of any asset that did not satisfy clause (a) of the Investment Criteria shall cure any breach or
failure arising therefrom as of the date of such failure;


 






     25


     


    

  


(iv)          the Collateral Manager is wound up or dissolved or there is appointed over it or a substantial part of its assets a receiver,
administrator, administrative receiver, trustee or similar officer; or the Collateral Manager (A) ceases to be able to, or admits
in writing its inability to, pay its debts as they become due and payable, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of, or
enters into any composition or arrangement with, its creditors generally; (B) applies for or consents (by admission of material
allegations of a petition or otherwise) to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, assignee, custodian, liquidator or sequestrator
(or other similar official) of the Collateral Manager or of any substantial part of its properties or assets in connection with
any winding up, liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, or authorizes
such an application or consent, or proceedings seeking such appointment are commenced without such authorization, consent or application
against the Collateral Manager and continue undismissed for 60 days; (C) authorizes or files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy,
or applies for or consents (by admission of material allegations of a petition or otherwise) to the application of any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, insolvency, dissolution, or similar law, or authorizes such application or consent,
or proceedings to such end are instituted against the Collateral Manager without such authorization, application or consent and
are approved as properly instituted and remain undismissed for 60 days or result in adjudication of bankruptcy or insolvency or
the issuance of an order for relief; or (D) permits or suffers all or any substantial part of its properties or assets to be sequestered
or attached by court order and the order (if contested in good faith) remains undismissed for 60 days;




 


(v)           the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.1(a) under the Indenture that results primarily
from any material breach by the Collateral Manager of its duties under this Agreement or under the Indenture which breach or default
is not cured within any applicable cure period; or


 


(vi)          (A) the occurrence of an act by the Collateral Manager that constitutes fraud or criminal activity in the performance of
its obligations under this Agreement (as determined pursuant to a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction) or the
Collateral Manager being indicted for a criminal offense materially related to its business of providing asset management services,
or (B) any Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager primarily responsible for the performance by the Collateral Manager of
its obligations under this Agreement (in the performance of his or her investment management duties) is indicted for a criminal
offense materially related to the business of the Collateral Manager providing asset management services and continues to have
responsibility for the performance by the Collateral Manager under this Agreement for a period of 30 days after such indictment;
provided that any indictment arising from practices that have become the subject of contemporaneous actions against multiple
investment advisers shall not constitute “Cause” for purposes of this clause (vi) if the Collateral Manager enters
into an agreement or settlement with any authority that has commenced an indictment, which agreement is entered into without prejudice
within 90 days following such indictment.


 


(b)           If any of the events specified in clauses (a)(i) through (vi) of this Section 14 shall occur, the Collateral Manager
shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Holders, the Trustee, and the Rating Agency; provided that if
any of the events specified in Section 14(a)(iv) shall occur, the Collateral Manager shall give written notice thereof to
the Issuer, the Trustee and the Rating Agency immediately upon the Collateral Manager’s becoming aware of the occurrence
of such event. A Majority of each Class of Notes, voting separately by Class, may waive any event described in Section 14(a)(i),
(ii), (iii), (v) or (vi) as a basis for termination of this Agreement and removal of the Collateral
Manager under this Section 14. In no event will the Trustee be required to determine whether or not Cause exists for the
removal of the Collateral Manager.


 






     26


     


    

 


(c)           Unless all Notes of the applicable Class are Collateral Manager Notes, Collateral Manager Notes will be disregarded and
have no voting rights with respect to any vote in respect of (i) the removal of the Collateral Manager for “cause”
under this Section 14 and (ii) the waiver of any event constituting “cause” as a basis for termination of this
Agreement and removal of the Collateral Manager, and such Notes will be deemed not to be Outstanding in connection with any such
vote, except that only Notes that a trust officer of the Trustee actually knows to be Collateral Manager Notes shall be so disregarded.
Collateral Manager Notes will have voting rights with respect to all other matters as to which the holders of the Notes of the
applicable Classes are entitled to vote.


 


(d)           If the Collateral Manager is removed pursuant to this Section 14, the Issuer shall have, in addition to the rights
and remedies set forth in this Agreement, all of the rights and remedies available with respect thereto at law or equity.


 


Section 15.            
Obligations of Resigning or Removed Collateral Manager.


 


(a)           On, or as soon as practicable after, the date any resignation or removal is effective, the Collateral Manager shall (at
the Issuer’s expense):


 


(i)            deliver to the Issuer or to such other Person as the Issuer shall instruct all property and documents of the Issuer or otherwise
relating to the Assets then in the custody of the Collateral Manager;


 


(ii)           deliver to the Trustee an accounting with respect to the books and records delivered to the Trustee or the successor Collateral
Manager appointed pursuant to Section 12; and


 


(iii)          agree to cooperate with all reasonable requests related to any proceedings, even after its resignation or removal, which
arise in connection with this Agreement or the Indenture, assuming the Collateral Manager has received an indemnity in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Manager from an entity reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Manager, and expense reimbursement
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Manager.


 


(b)           Notwithstanding such resignation or removal, the Collateral Manager shall remain liable for its obligations under Section
10 and its acts or omissions giving rise thereto and for any expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims
of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in respect of or arising out of a Collateral Manager Breach,
subject to the limitations of liability set forth in Section 10.

(i)            The Issuer is a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware, has the full power and authority to own its assets and the securities proposed to be owned by it and included
in the Assets and to transact the business in which it is presently engaged and is duly qualified under the laws of each jurisdiction
where its ownership or lease of property, the conduct of its business or the performance of this Agreement, the Indenture and the
Notes require such qualification, except for those jurisdictions in which the failure to be so qualified, authorized or licensed
would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Issuer.


 


(ii)           The Issuer has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, the
Indenture and the Notes and has taken all necessary action to authorize this Agreement and the execution and delivery of this Agreement

and the performance of all obligations imposed upon it hereunder or thereunder. No consent of any other Person including, without
limitation, members and creditors of the Issuer, and no license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, notice or
report to, or registration, filing (other than any filings pursuant to the UCC required under the Indenture and necessary to perfect
any security interest granted thereunder) or declaration with, any governmental authority is required by the Issuer in connection
with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Indenture or the Notes or the obligations
imposed upon the Issuer hereunder and thereunder. This Agreement has been, and each instrument and document to which the Issuer
is a party required hereunder or under the Indenture or the Notes will be, executed and delivered by a Responsible Officer of the

or similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights as such laws would apply in the event of any bankruptcy,
receivership, insolvency, winding-up or similar event applicable to the Issuer and (B) to general equitable principles (whether
enforceability of such principles is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).


 


(iii)          The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the documents and instruments required hereunder and under
the Indenture will not violate any provision of any existing law or regulation binding on the Issuer, or any order, judgment, award
or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority binding on the Issuer, or the Organizational Instruments of, or any
securities issued by, the Issuer or of any mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement, instrument or undertaking to
which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its assets may be bound, the violation of which would have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Issuer, and will not result in or require the creation or imposition of any lien on any of its property,
assets or revenues pursuant to the provisions of any such mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement, instrument or
undertaking (other than the lien of the Indenture).


 






     28


     


    

 


(iv)          The Issuer is not in violation of its Organizational Instruments or in breach or violation of or in default under any contract
or agreement to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property may be bound, or any applicable statute or any rule,
regulation or order of any court, government agency or body having jurisdiction over the Issuer or its properties, the breach or
violation of which or default under which would have a material adverse effect on the validity or enforceability of this Agreement
or the provisions of the Indenture applicable to the Issuer, or the performance by the Issuer of its duties hereunder or thereunder.


 


(v)           The Issuer acknowledges that it has received Part 2A, and relevant Part 2B, of the Collateral Manager’s Form ADV filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as required by Rule 204-3 under the Advisers Act, prior to execution of this Agreement.


 


(b)           The Collateral Manager hereby represents and warrants to the Issuer, as of the date hereof, as follows:


 


(i)            The Collateral Manager is a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Delaware and has full power and authority to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is currently
engaged, and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the performance
of this Agreement would require such qualification, except for those jurisdictions in which the failure to be so qualified, authorized
or licensed would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations under
this Agreement and the provisions of the Indenture applicable to the Collateral Manager, or on the validity or enforceability of
this Agreement and the provisions of the Indenture applicable to the Collateral Manager.


 


(ii)           The Collateral Manager has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform all of its obligations
required hereunder and under the provisions of the Indenture applicable to the Collateral Manager, and has taken all necessary

The Collateral Manager
hereby agrees that it shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under United States federal or state or other
bankruptcy or similar laws until at least one year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) plus one day
after payment in full of all Notes issued under the Indenture (and any other debt obligations of the Issuer that have been rated
upon issuance by any Rating Agency at the request of the Issuer); provided that nothing in this Section 17 shall
preclude the Collateral Manager from (A) taking any action prior to the expiration of such applicable preference period in (x)
any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or (y) any insolvency proceeding filed or commenced against
the Issuer by any Person other than the Collateral Manager or (B) commencing against the Issuer or any of its properties any legal
action that is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceeding. The Collateral
Manager hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer’s obligations hereunder will be solely the limited liability company
obligations of the Issuer, and that the Collateral Manager will not have any recourse to any of the authorized persons, managers,
officers, employees, members or Affiliates of the Issuer with respect to any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, indemnities
or other obligations in connection with any Transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof or of
any other transaction document, recourse in respect of any obligations of the Issuer to the Collateral Manager hereunder or thereunder
will be limited to the Assets as applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments pursuant to the Indenture and, on the exhaustion
of the Assets, all claims against the Issuer arising from this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any Transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby shall be extinguished and shall not revive. This Section 17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement

and binding on it in every respect. If for any reason such agent shall cease to be available to act as such, then the Issuer shall
promptly designate a new agent in the City of New York.
