(ii) in any way bind or restrict the Manager or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors or employees from buying, selling or trading any securities or commodities for their own accounts or for the account of others for whom the Manager or
any of its Affiliates, officers, directors or employees may be acting. While information and recommendations supplied to the Company shall, in the Manager’s reasonable and good faith judgment, be appropriate under the circumstances and in light
of the investment objectives and policies of the Company, they may be different from the information and recommendations supplied by the Manager or any Affiliate of the Manager to other investment companies, funds and advisory accounts. The Company
shall be entitled to equitable treatment under the circumstances in receiving information, recommendations and any other services, but the Company recognizes that it is not entitled to receive preferential treatment as compared with the treatment
given by the Manager or any Affiliate of the Manager to any investment company, fund or advisory account other than any fund or advisory account which contains only funds invested by the Manager, its Affiliates (and not any
funds of any of their clients or customers) or their officers and directors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(b), the Manager hereby agrees that, during the term of this Agreement set forth in Section 13
hereof, neither the Manager nor any entity controlled by the Manager shall raise, sponsor or advise any new REIT that invests primarily in domestic mortgage backed securities in the United States. The Company shall have the benefit of the
Manager’s best judgment and effort in rendering services hereunder and, in furtherance of the foregoing, the Manager shall not undertake activities that, in its good faith judgment, will adversely affect the performance of its obligations under
this Agreement.

(d)    The Manager is authorized, for and on behalf, and at the sole cost and expense of the Company, to employ such
securities dealers for the purchase and sale of investment assets of the Company as may, in the good faith judgment of the Manager, be necessary to obtain the best commercially available net results for the Company taking into account such factors
as the policies of the Company, price, dealer spread, the size, type, timing and difficulty of the transaction involved, the firm’s general execution and operational facilities and the firm’s risk in positioning the securities involved.

performance of its investment advisory functions for the Company.

or transferor of investment assets to the Company to make such representations and warranties regarding such assets as may, in the reasonable judgment of the Manager, be necessary and appropriate or as advised by the Board of Directors and
consistent with standard industry practice. In addition, the Manager shall take such other action as it deems necessary or appropriate or as advised by the Board of Directors and consistent with standard industry practice with regard to the
protection of the Investments. 
 (b)    The Manager shall refrain from any action that, in its sole judgment made in
good faith, (i) is not in compliance with the Guidelines, (ii) would adversely affect the status of the Company as a REIT under the Code or the Company’s status as an entity excluded from investment company status under the Investment
Company Act or (iii) would violate any law, rule or regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company or any Subsidiary or that would otherwise not be permitted by the Company’s Governing Instruments. If
the Manager is ordered to take any such action by the Board of Directors, the Manager shall promptly notify the Board of Directors of the Manager’s judgment that such action would adversely affect such status or violate any such law, rule or
regulation or the Governing Instruments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager, its directors, officers, stockholders and employees shall not be liable to the Company or any Subsidiary, the Board of Directors, or the Company’s or any
Subsidiary’s stockholders or partners, for any act or omission by the Manager, its directors, officers, stockholders or employees except as provided in Section 11 of this Agreement. 

(c)    The Company shall not invest in joint ventures with the Manager or any affiliate thereof, unless (i) such
Investment is made in accordance with the Guidelines and (ii) such Investment is approved in advance by a majority of the Independent Directors. 

(d)    The Manager shall not (i) consummate any transaction which would involve the acquisition by the Company of an
asset in which the Manager or any Affiliate thereof has an ownership interest or the sale by the Company of an asset to the Manager or any Affiliate thereof, or (ii) under circumstances where the Manager is subject to an actual or potential
conflict of interest, in the reasonable judgment of the Manager or the Board of Directors, because it manages both the Company and another Person (not an Affiliate of the Company) with which the Company has a contractual relationship, take any
action constituting the granting to such Person of a waiver, forbearance or other relief, or the enforcement against such Person of remedies, under or with respect to the applicable contract, unless such transaction or action, as the case may be and
in each case, is approved by a majority of the Independent Directors. 

  
 11 








 (e)    The Board of Directors periodically reviews the Guidelines and the
Company’s portfolio of Investments but will not review each proposed investment, except as otherwise provided herein. If a majority of the Independent Directors determines in the periodic review of transactions by the Independent Directors,
that a particular transaction does not comply with the Guidelines (including as a result of violation of the provisions of Section 7(d) above), then a majority of the Independent Directors will consider what corrective action, if any, can
be taken. The Manager shall be permitted to rely upon the direction of the Secretary of the Company to evidence the approval of the Board of Directors or the Independent Directors with respect to a proposed investment. 

(f)    The Manager shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (including the Current Term and any Renewal
Term) maintain a tangible net worth equal to or greater than $1,000,000. The Manager shall at all times during the term of this Agreement maintain “errors and omissions” insurance coverage and other insurance coverage which is
customarily carried by property, asset and investment managers performing functions similar to those of the Manager under this Agreement with respect to assets similar to the assets of the Company, in an amount which is comparable to that
customarily maintained by other managers or servicers of similar assets. 
 SECTION 8.    COMPENSATION. 

(a)    During the term of this Agreement (including the Current Term and any Renewal Term), the Company shall pay the
Manager the Base Management Fee monthly in arrears. Any Base Management Fee paid prior to the date of this Agreement for any month ended after October 1, 2017 shall be adjusted, as necessary, in accordance with the definition of “Base
Management Fee” set forth in this Agreement, and such additional amount, if any, shall be paid by the Company promptly after the date hereof. 

(b)    The Manager shall compute each installment of the Base Management Fee within fifteen (15) business days after
the end of the calendar month with respect to which such installment is payable. A copy of the computations made by the Manager to calculate such installment shall thereafter, for informational purposes only and subject in any event to
Section 13(a) of this Agreement, promptly be delivered to the Board of Directors and, upon such delivery, payment of such installment of the Base Management Fee shown therein shall be due and payable no later than the date which is twenty
(20) business days after the end of the calendar month with respect to which such installment is payable. 

(c)    The Base Management Fee is subject to adjustment pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of
Section 13(a) of this Agreement. 
 (d)    In addition to the Base Management Fee otherwise payable hereunder,
the Company shall pay the Manager quarterly Incentive Compensation. The Incentive Compensation calculation and payment shall be made for each fiscal quarter in arrears. 

(e)    The Manager shall compute each installment of the Incentive Compensation within 30 days after the end of each
fiscal quarter with respect to which such installment is payable. A copy of the computations made by the Manager to calculate such installment shall thereafter, subject to Section 13(a) of this Agreement, promptly be delivered to the Board
of Directors and payment of such Incentive Compensation, or such other amount as may be determined pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 8(e), shall be due and payable no later than the date which is five (5) business days after
the date of delivery to the Board of Directors of such computations. The amount of Incentive Compensation may be increased or decreased, if the Manager agrees and if a majority of the Independent Directors determines in the exercise of reasonable
discretion that the amount so calculated is not equitable based upon facts and circumstances that may include, without limitation, dividend payments, market conditions, managerial performance or other factors not reflected in Core Earnings. 

  
 12 








 (f)    Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Incentive Compensation shall (subject
to the remaining provisions of this Section 8(f) and the provisions of Sections 8(g), 8(h) and 8(i)) be payable to the Manager in Common Shares, and the remainder thereof shall be paid in cash; provided, the Manager may (subject
to the remaining provisions of this Section 8(f) and the provisions of Sections 8(g), 8(h) and 8(i)) elect, by so indicating in the installment calculation delivered to the Board of Directors, to receive more than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Incentive Compensation in the form of Common Shares; provided, however, the Manager may not receive payment of any portion of the Incentive Compensation in the form of Common Shares, either automatically or by
election, if such payment would result in the Manager directly or indirectly through one or more subsidiaries owning in the aggregate more than 9.8% of the outstanding Common Shares. For purposes of this computation, Common Shares include shares
issued and outstanding (whether vested or unvested or forfeitable or non-forfeitable) and shares to be issued upon exercise of outstanding stock options (whether such options are exercisable or
nonexercisable). The Manager’s receipt of Common Shares in accordance herewith shall be subject to all applicable securities exchange rules and securities laws (including, without limitation, prohibitions on transfers and insider trading). All
Common Shares paid to the Manager as Incentive Compensation will be fully vested upon issuance, provided that the Manager hereby agrees not to sell such shares prior to the date that is one year after the date such shares are due and payable.
Notwithstanding such restriction and subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, prohibitions on insider trading), the Manager shall have the right to allocate such shares in its sole and absolute
discretion to its officers, employees and other individuals who provide services to it at any time. In addition, the foregoing restriction regarding the sale of such shares shall terminate upon termination of this Agreement. 

(g)    Common Shares payable as Incentive Compensation shall be valued as follows: 

(i)    if such shares are traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the average of
the closing prices of the shares on such exchange over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the issuance of such shares; 

(ii)    if such shares are actively traded
over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sales price as applicable over the thirty (30) day period ending three
(3) days prior to the issuance of such shares; and 
 (iii)    if there is no active public market
for such shares, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. 

(h)    If at any time the Manager shall, in connection with a determination of fair market value made by the Board of
Directors, (i) dispute such determination in good faith by more than five percent (5%), and (ii) such dispute cannot be resolved between the Independent Directors and the Manager within ten (10) business days after the Manager
provides written notice to the Company of such dispute (the “Valuation Notice”), then the matter shall be resolved by an independent appraiser of recognized standing selected jointly by the Independent Directors and the Manager
within not more than twenty (20) days after the Valuation Notice. In the event the Independent Directors and the Manager cannot agree with respect to such selection within the aforesaid twenty (20) day time-frame, the Independent Directors
shall select one such independent appraiser and the Manager shall select one independent appraiser within five (5) business days after the expiration of the twenty (20) day period, with one additional such appraiser (the “Last
Appraiser”) to be selected by the appraisers so designated within five (5) business days after their selection. Any valuation decision made by the appraisers shall be deemed final and binding upon the Board of Directors and the
Manager and shall be delivered to the Manager and the Company within not more than fifteen (15) days after the selection of the Last Appraiser. The expenses of the appraisal shall be paid by the party with the estimate which deviated the
furthest from the final valuation decision made by the appraisers. 

  
 13 








 (i)    The Company agrees to register the resale of the stock portion of the
Incentive Compensation in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit B. 
 (j)    Not later than seventy-five
(75) days after the end of each fiscal year, the Company shall pay to the Manager an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between (i) the Incentive Compensation payable for the prior fiscal year before
deducting paid or accrued TRS Directly Paid Fees, less (ii) the sum of (A) the Incentive Compensation actually paid in the prior fiscal year plus (B) the TRS Directly Paid Fees actually paid for the prior fiscal year. 

(k)    In addition to the compensation set forth above in this Section 8, the Company shall pay CVC Credit Partners,
LLC (f/k/a Apidos Capital Management, LLC) such fees as are set forth in that certain Services Agreement dated as of February 24, 2011, among Resource Capital Asset Management, LLC (a subsidiary of the Company) and Apidos Capital Management,

 SECTION
13.    TERM; TERMINATION. 
 (a)    Until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its
terms, this Agreement shall be in effect until March 31, 2018 (the “Current Term”) and shall be automatically renewed for a one-year term on that date and each anniversary date thereafter
(a “Renewal Term”) unless at least two-thirds of the Independent Directors or the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Common Shares agree not to automatically renew because
(i) there has been unsatisfactory performance by the Manager that is materially detrimental to the Company or (ii) the compensation payable to the Manager hereunder is unfair; provided, that the Company shall not have the right to
terminate this Agreement under clause (ii) above if the Manager agrees to continue to provide the services under this Agreement at a fee that at least two-thirds of the Independent Directors determines to
be fair pursuant to the procedure set forth below. If the Company elects not to renew this Agreement at the expiration of the Current Term or any Renewal Term as set forth above, the Company shall deliver to the Manager prior written notice (the
“Termination Notice”) of the Company’s intention not to renew this Agreement based upon the terms set forth in this Section 13(a) not less than 180 days prior to the expiration of the then existing term. If the
Company so elects not to renew this Agreement, the Company shall designate the date (the “Effective Termination Date”), not less than 180 days from the date of the notice, on which the Manager shall cease to provide services under
this Agreement and this Agreement shall terminate on such date; provided, however, that in the event that such Termination Notice is given in connection with a determination that the compensation payable to the Manager is unfair, the
Manager shall have the right to renegotiate such compensation by delivering to the Company, no fewer than forty-five (45) days prior to the prospective Effective Termination Date, written notice (any such notice, a “Notice of Proposal
to Negotiate”) of its intention to renegotiate its compensation under this Agreement. Thereupon, the Company (represented by the Independent Directors) and the Manager shall endeavor to negotiate in good faith the revised
compensation payable to the Manager under this Agreement. Provided that the Manager and at least two-thirds of the Independent Directors agree to the terms of the revised compensation to be payable to the
Manager within 45 days following the receipt of the Notice of Proposal to Negotiate, the Termination Notice shall be deemed of no force and effect and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect on the terms stated in this Agreement,
except that the compensation payable to the Manager hereunder shall be the revised compensation then agreed upon by the parties to this Agreement. The Company and the Manager agree to execute and deliver an amendment to this Agreement setting forth
such revised compensation promptly upon reaching an agreement regarding same. In the event that the Company and the Manager are unable to agree to the terms of the revised compensation to be payable to the Manager during such 45 day period, this
Agreement shall terminate, such termination to be effective on the date which is the later of (A) ten (10) days following the end of such 45 day period and (B) the Effective Termination Date originally set forth in the Termination
Notice. 
 (b)    In the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions of
Section 13(a) of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Manager, on the date on which such termination is effective, a termination fee (the “Termination Fee”) equal to the amount of four times the sum of the
average annual Base Management Fee and the average annual Incentive Compensation earned by the Manager during the two 12-month periods immediately preceding the date of such termination, calculated as of the
end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the date of termination. The obligation of the Company to pay the Termination Fee shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 17 








 (c)    No later than 180 days prior to the expiration of the Current Term or
any Renewal Term, the Manager may deliver written notice to the Company informing it of the Manager’s intention to decline to renew this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall not be renewed and extended and this Agreement shall terminate
effective upon expiration of the then current term. 
 (d)    If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this
Section 13, such termination shall be without any further liability or obligation of either party to the other, except as provided in Sections 6, 9, 10, 13(b) and 16 of this Agreement. In addition, Sections 8(i) (including the
provisions of Exhibit B) and 11 of this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement. 
 SECTION
14.    ASSIGNMENT. 
 (a)    Except as set forth in Section 14(b) of this
Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment, in whole or in part, by the Manager, unless such assignment is consented to in writing by the Company with the consent of a majority of the Independent
Directors. Any such permitted assignment shall bind the assignee under this Agreement in the same manner as the Manager is bound, and the Manager shall be liable to the Company for all errors or omissions of the assignee under any such assignment.
In addition, the assignee shall execute and deliver to the Company a counterpart of this Agreement naming such assignee as Manager. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company without the prior written consent of the Manager, except in the
case of assignment by the Company to another REIT or other organization which is a successor (by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets) to the Company, in which case such successor organization shall be bound under this Agreement and by
the terms of such assignment in the same manner as the Company is bound under this Agreement. 
 (b)    Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement, the Manager may subcontract and assign any or all of its responsibilities under Sections 2(b), 2(c) and 2(d) of this Agreement to any of its Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
applicable to any such subcontract or assignment, and the Company hereby consents to any such assignment and subcontracting. In addition, provided that the Manager provides prior written notice to the Company for informational purposes only, nothing
contained in this Agreement shall preclude any pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of any amounts payable to the Manager under this Agreement. 

SECTION 15.    TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. 

(a)    The Company may terminate this Agreement effective upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of
termination from the Company to the Manager, without payment of any Termination Fee, if (i) the Manager materially breaches any provision of this Agreement and such breach shall continue for a period of 30 days after the Manager’s receipt
of written notice thereof specifying such breach and requesting that the same be remedied in such 30 day period, (ii) the Manager engages in any act of fraud, misappropriation of funds, or embezzlement against the Company, (iii) there is

Control, or (v) there is entered an order for relief or similar decree or order with respect to the Manager by a court having competent jurisdiction in an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter constituted or
under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws; or (vi) the Manager (A) ceases, 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 an composition or arrangement with, creditors; (B) applies for, or consents (by admission of material allegations of a petition or otherwise) to a sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Manager or
of any substantial part of its properties or assets, or authorizes such an application or consent, or proceedings seeking such appointment are commenced without such authorization, consent or application against the 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, liquidation or other similar law of any jurisdiction, or authorizes such application or consent, or proceedings to such end are instituted against the 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 (D) permits or suffers all or any substantial part of its properties or assets to be sequestered or

notice thereof specifying such default and requesting that the same be remedied in such 30 day period. 
 (d)    The
Manager may terminate this Agreement, without the Company being required to pay the Termination Fee, in the event the Company becomes regulated as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act, with such termination deemed to
have occurred immediately prior to such event. 
 SECTION 16.    ACTION UPON TERMINATION. From and after the

 Exhibit A 

RESOURCE CAPITAL MANAGER, INC. 

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST POLICY 

The Manager, by itself and through its affiliates, including Resource America and C-III Capital
Partners LLC and their respective subsidiaries (collectively, “Resource”), provides investment advisory services and manages the assets and day-to-day
operations of various entities, including Resource Capital Corp. (the “Company”). Resource is responsible for all activities relating to the assets and operations of the Company and, in such capacity, hereby sets forth the following
policies with respect to conflicts of interest that might arise among the Company and Resource’s other advisees: 
  

	 	(a)	Except with the approval of a majority of the Independent Directors, the Company will not be permitted to invest in any investment fund, collateralized loan obligation or collateralized debt obligation (each, an
“Investment Vehicle”) structured, co-structured or managed by Resource other than those structured, co-structured or managed primarily on the Company’s
behalf. If the Company does invest in any Investment Vehicle that has other investors, Resource will waive, or refund to the Company, any base asset management fees allocable to the Company in respect of its investment in such Investment Vehicle.


  

	 	(b)	Except with the approval of a majority of the Independent Directors, the Company will not be permitted to enter into any transaction with Resource or any investment entity or fund managed or advised by Resource
(collectively, “Other Clients”), including but not limited to purchasing any investment from, or selling any investment to, Resource or an Other Client, except that the Company may purchase an investment originated by Resource either
(i) within 60 days before such investment is acquired by the Company or (ii) with the specific intent to sell such investment to the Company. 

  

	 	(c)	Investments that may be appropriate for the Company, on the one hand, and one or more of Resource or Other Clients, on the other hand, will be allocated as between the Company, Resource and such Other Clients in
accordance with Resource’s allocation policies and procedures in effect from time to time. 

 Resource may make
exceptions to these general policies when circumstances render the application thereof inequitable or uneconomic.

 Exhibit B 

Registration Rights Agreements 

1.    Piggyback Rights. The Manager and any Permitted Transferee (as hereinafter defined) shall have the
unlimited right to piggyback on to any registration statement of the Company (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor form);
provided, however, that in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters may exclude the shares of the Manager and any Permitted Transferee to the same extent and in the same proportion that shares of holders (other
than the Company) are excluded, if the managing underwriters determine in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be included in such offering. 

2.    Demand Rights. The Manager and any Permitted Transferee shall also have the right to require the Company to
prepare, file and maintain at all times such number of registration statements as are specified in the next sentence of this Section 2(a) exclusively for the resale of the stock portion of the Incentive Compensation (the “Incentive
Shares”). The Manager and any Permitted Transferee shall be entitled to (i) an unlimited number of registrations on Form S-3 or any successor or replacement forms and (ii) if the Management
Agreement terminates and the Company is not then eligible to use Form S-3 or any successor or replacement form, a single registration on such other form as the Company is then eligible to use. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the demand rights described herein may only be exercised upon request of the Manager and any Permitted Transferee, in the case of clause (i), who hold in the aggregate at least twenty percent (20%) of all
outstanding Incentive Shares and, in the case of clause (ii), who hold in the aggregate at least one-third of all outstanding Incentive Shares. 

3.    Registration Procedures. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect or cause to be
effected the registration of the Incentive Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to permit the resale of the Incentive Shares by the Manager or any Permitted Transferee. 

4.    Expenses. The Company shall bear all expenses of registration, including its professional fees and
registration and filing fees with the SEC, state securities administrators and applicable stock exchanges, and printing, word processing and delivery and distribution fees with respect to any registration statement, prospectus (preliminary or
final), or any amendments or supplements thereto, and reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel to the Manager and any Permitted Transferees, provided, however, the Company shall not be liable for the underwriting discounts and commissions
associated with the sale of the Incentive Shares. 
 5.    Successors and Assigns; Permitted Transferees. The
agreements in this Exhibit B shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the Company and the Manager. For purposes of this Exhibit B, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall mean each person or
entity to whom the Manager transfers any Incentive Shares. 

  
 27 








 6.    Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Manager and its Permitted Transferees and (ii) each person, if any, who controls the Manager and its Permitted Transferees within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of the Manager and its Permitted Transferees or any person who controls any of the foregoing (each person
referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) are referred to collectively as the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in respect thereof (including, but
not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, judgments, expenses, liabilities or actions relating to purchases and sales of the Incentive Shares) to which each Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, judgments, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement or prospectus,
including any document incorporated by reference therein, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a registration statement, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in a registration statement or prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus
relating to a registration statement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to the Manager or its Permitted Transferees or furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Manager or its Permitted Transferees
specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus relating to a registration statement, the indemnity agreement contained in
this subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit of the Manager or any Permitted Transferee from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Incentive Shares concerned, to the extent that a
prospectus relating to such Incentive Shares was required to be delivered by the Manager or such Permitted Transferee, as the case may be, under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss, claim, damage or liability of the
Manager or such Permitted Transferee results from the fact that there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Incentive Shares to such person, a copy of the final prospectus if the Company
had previously furnished copies thereof to the Manager or such Permitted Transferee; provided further, however, that this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to such Indemnified
Party. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above with respect to the
indemnification of the Manager or any Permitted Transferee if requested by the Manager or such Permitted Transferee. 

(b)    In connection with any registration statement in which the Manager or a Permitted Transferee is participating and
as a condition to such participation, the Manager and such Permitted Transferee, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and investment advisers
and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (the “Company Indemnified Persons”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or any actions in respect
thereof, to which the Company or any such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to the registration statement, or arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to the Manager or such Permitted Transferee or furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Manager or such Permitted Transferee
specifically for inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, shall reimburse, as incurred, the Company or any Company Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
Company or such Company Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Manager or such
Permitted Transferee may otherwise have to the Company or any Company Indemnified Person. 

  
 28 








 (c)    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a governmental investigation), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6,
notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been
materially prejudiced by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or
(b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish,
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who may be counsel to the indemnifying party unless, in the reasonable judgment of the
indemnified party, a potential conflict exists), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this
Section 6 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement
(i) includes any unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to
act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 

  
 29 








 (d)    If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the
indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Company on the one hand or the Manager or such Permitted Transferee or such other indemnified party, as the case may be, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6(d), neither the Manager nor any Permitted
Transferee shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by the Manager or such Permitted Transferee from the sale of the Incentive Shares pursuant to the registration statement exceeds the
amount of damages which the Manager or such Permitted Transferees have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls such
indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such indemnified party and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. 
 (e)    The agreements contained in this
Section 6 shall survive the sale of the Incentive Shares pursuant to a registration statement and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of the Management Agreement or any investigation made by or
on behalf of any indemnified party.
