Retained Management Fees shall be included in the calculation of Excess Base Case Revenues. Each amount calculated pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Earnout Payment.” The Earnout Payment
shall be allocated among the Assigned Assets on a pro rata basis based upon the allocation of the Base Purchase Price as set forth on Schedule 3(a). The Earnout Payment, if any, will be paid by ATP to Seller in accordance with
Section 3(c), (d), (e), (f) and (g). 
 (c) Seller shall be entitled to a non-refundable estimated payment of the
Earnout Payments in accordance with this Section 3(c). For each three month period during each Measurement Period, including the three months ending May 23, the three months ending August 23, the three months ending November 23
and the three months ending February 23 (each three month period, an “Earnout Quarter”), ATP shall determine the amount, if any, of the aggregate of all revenues from the Assigned Assets, earned and actually received by ATP,
less amounts payable pursuant to the Sandler Sub-Advisory Agreements that exceed the quarterly thresholds listed on Schedule 3(c) hereto, which thresholds shall be adjusted downward for CDO Agreements that are not sold, assigned and
transferred pursuant to this Agreement as of the applicable Earnout Quarter, and the adjustments shall be equal to the dollar amounts allocated to such CDO Agreements as listed on Schedule 3(c) (the “Quarterly Excess”). No
later than fifteen (15) days following the end of each Earnout Quarter, ATP shall calculate 50% of the Quarterly 

  
 11 

 
Excess (the “Seller’s Share”) and report the amount of the Seller’s Share to the Seller in writing. Following the delivery of such written notice, the Seller may review
the calculations. Subject to Section 3(e) and the immediately following sentence, ATP shall pay to Seller (by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated on Schedule 3(c)), as an estimate of the Earnout
Payments, 75% of such Seller’s Share (the “Estimated Earnout Payment” and the remaining 25% of such Seller’s share (the “Holdback Amount”) shall be retained by ATP. If during any Earnout Quarter, the
aggregate revenues from the Assigned Assets (calculated as set forth in the second sentence of this subsection) do not exceed the applicable quarterly threshold listed on Schedule 3(c), then the Seller shall not be entitled to an Estimated
Earnout Payment for such Earnout Quarter. In no event shall the Seller be required to return any portion of the Estimated Earnout Payments. The calculation of each Earnout Payment shall be reported to Seller by delivery of a written notice within
fifteen (15) days after each Measurement Period. Following the delivery of such notice, the Seller may review the calculations. 
 (d) No later than fifteen (15) days following the end of the Seventh Measurement Period, ATP shall calculate: (i) the aggregate Earnout Payment for all Measurement Periods (the “Final
Earnout Amount”) and (ii) the sum of all Estimated Earnout Payments plus the aggregate of the Holdback Amount retained by ATP (the “Prepayment Aggregate”). If the Final Earnout Amount is equal to or greater than
the Prepayment Aggregate, then the Seller shall be entitled to the aggregate of the Holdback Amount retained by ATP, subject to adjustment as described in Section 3(h) hereof. If the Prepayment Aggregate is greater than the Final Earnout
Amount, then the amount by which the Prepayment Aggregate exceeds the Final Earnout Amount (the “Overpayment”) shall reduce the Holdback Amount payable to the Seller pursuant to Section 3(h) hereof. 

(e) If at any time after February 23, 2013, and prior to February 23, 2017, a Regulated Bank prepays the amounts due under the
Applicable Notes, then the Prepayment Credit shall be adjusted as described in Section 1 hereof. No later than fifteen (15) days following the end of an Earnout Quarter, ATP shall deliver the Seller written notice (together with all copies
of relevant work papers, schedules or other documents and records utilized by ATP in its calculation of the Prepayment Credit and the Prepayment Penalty, including details regarding the prepayment) of the Prepayment Credit and the Prepayment Penalty
(if any) as of such Earnout Quarter end. 
 (f) To facilitate Seller’s review of ATP’s calculations in accordance with
Sections 3(c), (d) and (e), at the written request of the Seller, ATP shall make available (as soon as reasonably practicable following any request therefor) copies of relevant work papers, schedules and other documents and records utilized by
ATP in connection with its calculation; provided, however, that Seller and its affiliates shall maintain the confidentiality of such information and shall not disclose such information to a Third Party (other than Seller’s
accountants, attorneys and advisors) without ATP’s prior written consent. 
 (g) If there should be any disagreement
between the Seller and ATP as to the proper calculation of any Estimated Earnout Payment, Earnout Payment, the Prepayment Penalty or the Prepayment Penalty Amount, ATP’s independent accountants and Seller’s independent accountants shall
undertake to reach agreement as to the Earnout Payment or the Prepayment Penalty, as the case may be, in dispute and shall notify ATP and the Seller in writing as to such 

  
 12 

 
agreement. Any agreement by such accountants shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. If within ten (10) days after the matter is referred to them, such accountants are unable to
agree as to the calculation, such accountants shall jointly and promptly select a third independent certified public accounting firm (the “Third Accountant”). The Third Accountant shall, within fifteen (15) days after the
matter is referred to it, notify ATP and Seller in writing as to its determination of the Earnout Payment, the Prepayment Penalty, or Prepayment Penalty Amount, as the case may be. Any such determination by the Third Accountant shall be conclusive
and binding on the Parties. The fees and expenses of the Third Accountant and all costs associated with the Third Accountant shall be paid equally by the Seller and Cohen on the one hand and ATP on the other hand. ATP and Seller shall be responsible
for their own attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees and other expenses incurred in connection with the dispute. 
 (h)
Subject to this Section 3(h), ATP shall pay the Holdback Amount (i) less the Overpayment (if any), and (ii) less the Prepayment Penalty Amount (if any), by wire transfer within ninety (90) days following the end of the Seventh
Measurement Period, which amount shall include any undisputed portion of the Holdback Amount. If there is a dispute as to the proper computation of an Earnout Payment or the Prepayment Penalty Amount and such dispute is resolved pursuant to
Section 3(g) in favor of Seller, ATP shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of such deficiency within three (3) Business Days following the final determination of such dispute. In the event an Estimated
Earnout Payment or the Holdback Amount, or any portion thereof, is not paid as and when due, interest shall accrue on the unpaid amount at a rate of 1% per month. In no event shall Seller or Cohen be responsible to pay ATP any amounts by which
the Overpayment or the Prepayment Penalty Amount exceed the Holdback Amount.

(ii) by ATP in writing if (i) the Seller or Cohen shall have breached or failed to perform any of their respective
representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8, and (B) cannot be or has not been
cured on or prior to the applicable End Date; provided, however, that ATP is not then in breach of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, (ii) if, as of any date, an event or condition shall have occurred

agreements contained in this Agreement; or

 27 

  
 Section 11.
Indemnification. 
 (a) Indemnification. 

(i) The Seller and Cohen jointly and severally agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless ATP and its Affiliates and all
of their respective officers, managers, directors, members, partners, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the “ATP Indemnified Persons”) from and against any Losses actually incurred by such ATP Indemnified Persons arising
out of or resulting from (i) any breach by the Seller or Cohen of any representation or warranty of the Seller contained in this Agreement or any other Contract executed by the Parties in connection with any related Transaction, (ii) any
breach by the Seller or Cohen of any covenant contained in this Agreement or any other Contract executed by the Parties in connection with the related Transactions, (iii) any related Retained Liabilities or (iv) the Issuer (A) having
income that is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (B) being subject to United States federal income tax under Section 882(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or a branch tax under Section 884 of the Code or (C) reporting any item of income on any tax return that would be treated as effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or
business of the Issuer in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 
 (ii) ATP agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller, Cohen and their respective Affiliates and all of their respective officers, managers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, trustees, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the
“Seller Indemnified Persons”) from and against any Losses actually incurred by the Seller Indemnified Persons arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach by ATP of any representation or warranty of ATP contained in this
Agreement, (ii) any breach by ATP of any covenant contained in this Agreement or any other Contract executed by the Parties in connection with the related Transactions or (iii) any related Assumed Liabilities. 

(iii) For the purposes of determining the amount of any Losses related to any claim for indemnification pursuant to
Section 11(a)(i) or Section 11(a)(ii) and any limitations on indemnification pursuant to Section 11(c), such Losses shall be considered without regard to any “material,” “Material Adverse Effect,” or similar
qualifications set forth herein. 
 (b) Procedures for Indemnification. 

(i) If any ATP Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall claim
indemnification hereunder for any claim (other than a Third Party Claim) for which indemnification is provided in Section 11(a), the Indemnified Person shall promptly, and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days, after such
Indemnified Person first becomes aware of facts that give rise to the basis for such claim, give written notice (a “Notice of Claim”) to the Seller and Cohen or ATP, as applicable, setting forth the basis for such claim and the
nature and estimated amount of the claim (which estimated amount shall include, without limitation, an 

  
 28 

 
estimate of the Losses that may be incurred in connection with defending any such claim), all in reasonable detail. The failure to give a Notice of Claim to the Indemnifying Person shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability hereunder unless the Indemnifying Person was actually prejudiced by such failure and then only to the extent of such prejudice. If the Seller and Cohen or ATP, as applicable, disputes any claim set
forth in the Notice of Claim, it shall deliver to such Indemnified Person that has given the Notice of Claim a written notice indicating its dispute of such Notice of Claim in reasonable detail (an “Objection Notice”) within thirty
(30) days after the date the Notice of Claim is given (the “Response Period”). 
 (ii) If
an Indemnified Person shall make a Third Party Claim for which indemnification is provided in Section 11(a), the Indemnified Person shall promptly, and in any event within ninety (90) days, after such Indemnified Person first becomes aware
of facts which give rise to the basis for such claim, give written notice (a “Third Party Notice”) to the Seller and Cohen or ATP, as applicable (each, an “Indemnifying Person”), of the basis for such claim, setting
forth the nature of the claim or demand in reasonable detail, and the estimated amount of the claim (which estimated amount shall include, without limitation, an estimate of the Losses that may be incurred in connection with defending any such
claim). The failure to give a Third Party Notice to the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability hereunder unless the Indemnifying Person was actually prejudiced by such failure and then only to the extent of
such prejudice. The Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes (but subject to the consent of the Indemnified Person), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Person so long as the Indemnifying Person notifies the Indemnified Person in writing within sixty (60) days after the Indemnified Person has given a Third Party Notice to the Indemnifying Person that the Indemnifying Person will
indemnify the Indemnified Person from and against the entirety of any Losses the Indemnified Person may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the claim, and the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of
the Proceeding. If the Indemnifying Person (with the consent of the Indemnified Person) assumes the defense of such claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person under such section for any fees of other counsel or any
other expenses, incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that in the event that the interests of the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person are, or may reasonably become, in
conflict with or adverse to one another with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person may retain its own counsel at the Indemnifying Person’s expense with respect to such Third Party Claim. If an Indemnifying Person assumes the
defense of such an action, (i) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (A) there
is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Person and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid
in full by the Indemnifying Person and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If
notice is given to an Indemnifying Person of the 

  
 29 

 
commencement of any action and it does not, within sixty (60) days after the Indemnified Person’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the
defense thereof (or the Indemnifying Person does not consent to the election by the Indemnifying Person to assume the defense thereof), the Indemnified Person shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Person, undertake the defense of (with counsel
selected by the Indemnified Person and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Person) such claim, liability or expense, and shall have the right to compromise or settle such claim, liability or expense with the consent of the Indemnifying Person.

 (c) Limitations on Indemnification. 
 (i) No ATP Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11(a)(i), unless and until the aggregate Losses incurred by all ATP Indemnified Persons in respect of all claims
under Section 11(a) collectively exceed $50,000 whereupon ATP Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder (subject to the other provisions of this Section 11) from the Seller or Cohen for all such Losses incurred by
ATP Indemnified Persons in excess of such $50,000 deductible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in this Section 11(c)(i) shall not apply to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 11(a)(i) that relate to the
representations and warranties contained in Section 4(n) or pursuant to Section 11(a)(i)(ii). 
 (ii)
No Seller Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii), unless and until the aggregate Losses incurred by all Seller Indemnified Persons in respect of all claims under Section 11(a) collectively
exceed $50,000 whereupon Seller Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder (subject to the other provisions of this Section 11) from ATP for all such Losses incurred by Seller Indemnified Persons in excess of such
$50,000 deductible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in this Section 11(c)(ii) shall not apply to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 11(a)(i) that relate to the representations and warranties contained
in Section 5(f) or pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii)(ii). 
 (iii) No Party shall be
entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11(a)(i)(i) or Section 11(a)(ii)(i), as the case may be, unless the party seeking indemnification notifies the other party of a claim specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable
detail on or before the fifth (5th) anniversary of
the initial Closing hereunder, in which case, the survival period shall continue until such claim is fully resolved. 
 (iv) Except as set forth in (vi) and (vii) below, the maximum aggregate liability of the Seller to ATP and ATP Indemnified Persons for indemnification under Section 11(a)(i)(i) of this
Agreement shall not exceed the sum of (A) the aggregate Base Purchase Price paid for the Assigned CDO Agreements, (B) the amount of the Service Fees and (C) the aggregate of Losses that constitute out-of-pocket costs of such ATP
Indemnified Persons. 

  
 30 

  
 (v)
Except as set forth in (vi) and (vii) below, the maximum aggregate liability of Cohen to ATP and ATP Indemnified Persons for indemnification under Section 11(a)(i) of this Agreement shall not exceed the then applicable Cohen
Indemnification Limit. 
 (vi) The maximum aggregate liability of the Seller and Cohen to ATP and ATP Indemnified
Persons for indemnification under (A) Section 11(a)(i)(ii) in connection with a breach of Section 6(b) of this Agreement or (B) Section 11(a)(i)(iv) of this Agreement shall not exceed the then applicable Tax Indemnification Limit.

 (vii) Each of the Seller, Cohen and ATP hereby agrees that the liability of the Seller and Cohen to ATP and
ATP Indemnified Persons if this Agreement is terminated by ATP and the transactions contemplated hereby are abandoned as described in Section 10(a)(ii)(i) as a result of breach or failure by the Seller or Cohen of any of their respective
representations or warranties prior to the initial Closing under this Agreement, be deemed to be equal to ATP’s out-of-pocket expenses. 
 (viii) ATP and ATP Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to indemnification in connection with a claim under Section 11(a)(i)(iv) of this Agreement, if such Loss arises out of or relates to a
change, following a Closing Date, by ATP or in the business of managing the Assigned CDO Agreements or a change, following a Closing Date, by ATP in the United States federal income tax reporting positions heretofore taken by or on behalf of the
Issuer or Issuers, in question, but only to the extent such change in operations or reporting is not required or permitted under the Assigned CDO Agreements. 
 (d) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided for under this Agreement shall be (i) reduced by any amounts actually realized as a result of any indemnification, contribution or
other payment by any Third Party, (ii) reduced by any insurance proceeds or other amounts actually recovered or received from third parties with respect to such Losses; provided that the amount of any insurance proceeds received by an
Indemnified Person shall be equal to the difference between (A) the actual after-tax amount of such proceeds less any deductible paid by the applicable Indemnified Person and (B) the net present value (as determined by the applicable
Indemnified Person in good faith) of the aggregate incremental premium costs which are incurred by an Indemnified Person as a consequence of the Loss or event which gives rise to the payment of insurance proceeds and (iii) reduced by any Net
Tax Benefit actually realized in the year of the Loss from the incurrence or payment of any such Losses. For purposes of this Section 11, a Net Tax Benefit is actually realized in the year of the Loss only if it results in a reduction of the
amount of Taxes actually paid by the Indemnified Person in the taxable year in which the Loss occurs. 
 (e) If an Indemnified
Person recovers any amount with respect to any Loss that was previously satisfied by the Indemnifying Person such Indemnified Person shall promptly pay such amount to such Indemnifying Person. 

(f) An action for Losses under this Section 11 constitutes the sole and exclusive monetary remedy with respect to this Agreement.

  
 31 

  
 (g) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Seller, Cohen and ATP shall have any obligation to indemnify any other party or their respective Indemnified Persons from and against special, indirect consequential, or punitive
damages, lost profits or loss of or diminution in value.

expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other Parties have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other
things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 12.

York County.) The action, titled Riverside National Bank of Florida v. The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Fitch, Inc., Taberna Capital Management, LLC, Cohen & Company Financial Management, LLC f/k/a
Cohen Bros. Financial Management LLC, FTN Financial Capital Markets, Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Citigroup Global Markets,
Credits Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, ABN Amro, Inc., Cohen & Company, and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., asserts claims for common law fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract in connection
with Riverside’s purchase of certain CDO securities, including, but not limited to, securities from the Alesco I, II, VII, IX, X and XIII CDOs. Riverside alleges that offering materials issued in connection with the CDOs it purchased did not
adequately disclose the process by which the rating agencies rated each of the securities. Riverside also alleges, among other things, that the offering materials should have disclosed an alleged conflict of interest of the rating agencies as well
as the role that the rating agencies played in structuring each CDO. Riverside seeks damages in excess of $132 million, rescission of its purchases of the securities at issue, an accounting of certain amounts received by the defendants together with
the imposition of a constructive trust, and punitive damages of an unspecified amount. On December 11, 2009, the defendants moved to dismiss all of Riverside’s claims. Riverside filed an opposition to the defendants’ motion on
February 19, 2010, voluntarily dismissing its contract causes of action and opposing the remainder of defendants’ motion to dismiss. 
 (ii) Alesco Preferred Funding X, Ltd. is named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Leawood Bancshares, Inc. (“Leawood”) and CrossFirst Holdings, LLC (“CrossFirst”) on July 23,
2010 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The action, titled Leawood Bancshares, Inc. and CrossFirst Holdings, LLC v. Alesco Preferred Funding X, Ltd. alleges that Alesco breached a March 1, 2010 letter
agreement between Leawood and Alesco by failing to sell $4 million of trust preferred securities to Leawood for $1 million on or before June 7, 2010. The complaint alleges that Leawood was a party to an Asset Contribution Agreement with
CrossFirst and other parties, which agreement contained a pre-condition that the trust preferred securities be sold to Leawood. The complaint alleges that the failure by Alesco Preferred Funding X, Ltd. to complete such sale prevented Leawood and
CrossFirst from closing the Asset Contribution Agreement, thereby depriving the plaintiffs from the benefits thereof.

year on Subordinate Fees earned, but not paid, in the calendar year for which such revocation was effective.

 4. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of the following:

 5. Duties of the Escrow Agent. 
 5.1 Duties Limited. The Escrow
Agent shall perform only the duties expressly set forth herein and shall not be liable, except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no further duties or responsibilities shall be
implied. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the provisions of any agreement other than this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Services Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any
payments that may be due it hereunder. 
 5.2 Reliance. The Escrow Agent may rely upon, and shall be protected in acting
or refraining from acting upon, any written notice, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to
inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document. 
 5.3 Good Faith. The Escrow Agent
shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct was the cause of any loss
to the Collateral Manager or the Service Provider. The Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through agents or attorneys (and shall be liable only for the careful selection of any such agent
or attorney) and may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice or
opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any party hereto which, in its
opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Escrow Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be directed otherwise in writing
by all of the other parties hereto or by a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential
loss or damage of any kind whatsoever 

  
 7 

 
(including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

5.4 Indemnification of Escrow Agent. The Service Provider shall indemnify the Escrow Agent and hold it harmless against any loss,
liability or expense arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including the costs and expenses incurred in defending and analyzing any such claim or potential claim of liability, except to the extent incurred as a result of gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may consult with its own counsel, and shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken or suffered in good faith and in
accordance with the opinion of such counsel. 
 6. Resignation and Termination of the Escrow Agent. 

6.1 Resignation. The Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice of such resignation
to the Collateral Manager and the Service Provider. Thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation hereunder, except to hold the Escrow Fund as depository. In such event the Escrow Agent shall not take any action until the Collateral
Manager and the Service Provider have jointly designated a banking corporation, trust company, attorney or other person as successor Escrow Agent. Upon receipt of such joint instructions, the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the Escrow Fund to
such successor Escrow Agent and shall thereafter have no further obligations hereunder. 
 6.2 Termination. The
Collateral Manager and the Service Provider together may terminate the appointment of the Escrow Agent hereunder upon a joint written notice specifying the date upon which such termination shall take effect. In the event of such termination, the
Collateral Manager and the Service Provider shall within thirty (30) days of such notice jointly appoint a successor Escrow Agent (the “Successor Escrow Agent”). Upon the Successor Escrow Agent’s execution of this
Agreement (or an agreement substantially similar to this Agreement), the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to such Successor Escrow Agent the Escrow Fund and Escrow Income and the Successor Escrow Agent shall thereupon be bound by all of the
provisions hereof.

deduct from, or charge against, the Escrow Fund any fees for the performance of its duties hereunder. 
 7.2 Taxpayer

obligation of Cohen, enforceable against Cohen in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, conservatorship, arrangement, moratorium or other laws affecting or relating to the rights of

 4.2 ATP hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Company as follows: ATP is a limited liability company duly organized

principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
 5. Termination. This
Agreement and the Proxy delivered in connection herewith and all obligations of Cohen hereunder and thereunder, shall automatically terminate and shall have no further force or effect as of the Expiration Date. 

6. Miscellaneous. 
 6.1 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of
this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement

6.2 Binding Effect and Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement
shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, ATP may, in its sole discretion, assign its rights and obligations hereunder
to any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ATP or to a purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of ATP or an assignee by merger or reorganization. Any assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void. Subject to
the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Indemnified Person that is not required to be performed or permitted under the terms of this Agreement (the occurrences of the events described in subsections (i) through (v) above are collectively referred to for

  
 8 

 
purposes of this Section 7 as “Service Provider Breaches”). For avoidance of doubt, the indemnification obligations of the Service Provider set forth in this Agreement shall
be in addition to the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 11(a)(i) of that certain Master Transaction Agreement dated as of July __, 2010, by and among Cohen & Company, Inc., the Collateral Manager and the Service
Provider, and shall in no way limit amend, or modify the obligations set forth therein. In addition, the CM Indemnified Persons shall not be liable to the Adviser Indemnified Persons for any Liabilities incurred by the Service Provider that arise
out of or in connection with any action by an Adviser Indemnified Person that is not required to be performed or permitted under the terms of this Agreement. 
 (b) The Collateral Manager shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Service Provider and each of its Affiliates and all of their respective officers, managers, directors, members, partners,
employees, agents, successors and assigns thereof (“Advisor Indemnified Person”) from and against any Liabilities, and shall promptly reimburse the Service Provider or each Affiliate thereof for all reasonable fees and expenses
(including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) as such fees and expenses are incurred in investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any claim, action, proceeding or investigation with respect to any pending or threatened litigation caused
by, arising out of or in connection with (i) any liability, obligation or commitment, or any act or omission of the Collateral Manager, under the Agreements or the Indentures with respect to any period after the date hereof, or (ii) any
action taken by, or any failure to act by, the Service Provider or any Affiliate thereof, and in each such case to the extent not constituting a Service Provider Breach; provided, however, that in no case shall the Collateral Manager be required to
indemnify any Advisor Indemnified Person to the extent such Liabilities are the result of (x) the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of an Advisor Indemnified Person or (y) any action by an Advisor Indemnified Person that is not
required to be performed or permitted under the terms of this Agreement. 
 (c) The Service Provider shall defend, indemnify and
hold harmless the Collateral Manager and each of its Affiliates (the “CM Indemnified Persons”) from and against any Liabilities, and shall promptly reimburse the Collateral Manager or each Affiliate thereof for all reasonable fees
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses) as such fees and expenses are incurred in investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any claim, action, proceeding or investigation with respect to any
pending or threatened litigation, in each case, to the extent and only to the extent that such Liabilities, fees, expenses and other amounts are caused by, arise out of or in connection with a Service Provider Breach or an action by an Adviser
Indemnified Person that is not required to be performed or permitted under the terms of this Agreement. 
 (d) Procedures for
Indemnification. 
 (i) For purposes of this Agreement (A) “Third Party Claim” means
any claim, demand, commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, or other assertion of liability by any person or entity arising from the claim, demand, commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, or other assertion of Liability of another
person or entity and (B) “Net Tax Benefit” means the tax benefit of any liability reduced by the tax detriment associated with the receipt of any amount for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement. 

(ii) If any CM Indemnified Person or Advisor Indemnified Person (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall
claim indemnification hereunder for any claim (other than a Third Party Claim) for which indemnification is provided in Section 7, the Indemnified Person shall promptly, and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days, after such
Indemnified Person first becomes aware of facts that give rise to the basis for such claim, give written notice (a “Notice of Claim”) to the Service Provider or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, setting forth the basis for such
claim and the nature and estimated amount of the claim (which estimated 

  
 9 

 
amount shall include, without limitation, an estimate of the Liabilities that may be incurred in connection with defending any such claim), all in reasonable detail. The failure to give a Notice
of Claim to the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability hereunder unless the Indemnifying Person was actually prejudiced by such failure and then only to the extent of such prejudice. If the Service Provider or
the Collateral Manager, as applicable, disputes any claim set forth in the Notice of Claim, it shall deliver to such Indemnified Person that has given the Notice of Claim a written notice indicating its dispute of such Notice of Claim in reasonable
detail (an “Objection Notice”) within thirty (30) days after the date the Notice of Claim is given (the “Response Period”). 

(iii) If an Indemnified Person shall make a Third Party Claim for which indemnification is provided in Section 7
hereof, the Indemnified Person shall promptly, and in any event within ninety (90) days, after such Indemnified Person first becomes aware of facts which give rise to the basis for such claim, give written notice (a “Third Party
Notice”) to the Service Provider or the Collateral Manager, as applicable (each, an “Indemnifying Person”), of the basis for such claim, setting forth the nature of the claim or demand in reasonable detail, and the
estimated amount of the claim (which estimated amount shall include, without limitation, an estimate of the Liabilities that may be incurred in connection with defending any such claim). The failure to give a Third Party Notice to the Indemnifying
Person shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability hereunder unless the Indemnifying Person was actually prejudiced by such failure and then only to the extent of such prejudice. The Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes (but subject to the consent of the Indemnified Person), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person so long as the Indemnifying Person notifies
the Indemnified Person in writing within sixty (60) days after the Indemnified Person has given a Third Party Notice to the Indemnifying Person that the Indemnifying Person will indemnify the Indemnified Person from and against the entirety of
any Liabilities the Indemnified Person may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the claim, and the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of the Proceeding. If the Indemnifying Person (with the consent
of the Indemnified Person) assumes the defense of such claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses, incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the
defense thereof; provided, however, that in the event that the interests of the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person are, or may reasonably become, in conflict with or adverse to one another with respect to such Third Party
Claim, the Indemnified Person may retain its own counsel at the Indemnifying Person’s expense with respect to such Third Party Claim. If an Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of such an action, (A) no compromise or settlement thereof
may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (1) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of
the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Person and (2) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person and (B) the Indemnifying
Person shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If notice is given to an Indemnifying Person of the commencement of
any action and it does not, within sixty (60) days after the Indemnified Person’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense thereof (or the Indemnifying Person does not consent to the
election by the Indemnifying Person to assume the defense thereof), the Indemnified Person shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Person, undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by the Indemnified Person and reasonably acceptable to the
Indemnifying Person) such claim, liability 

  
 10 

 
or expense, and shall have the right to compromise or settle such claim, liability or expense with the consent of the Indemnifying Person. 

(e) The amount of any Liabilities for which indemnification is provided for under this Agreement shall be (i) reduced by any amounts
actually realized as a result of any indemnification, contribution or other payment by any Third Party, (ii) reduced by any insurance proceeds or other amounts actually recovered or received from third parties with respect to such Liabilities;
provided that the amount of any insurance proceeds received by an Indemnified Person shall be equal to the difference between (A) the actual after-tax amount of such proceeds less any deductible paid by the applicable Indemnified Person
and (B) the net present value (as determined by the applicable Indemnified Person in good faith) of the aggregate incremental premium costs which are incurred by an Indemnified Person as a consequence of the Liabilities or event which gives
rise to the payment of insurance proceeds and (iii) reduced by any Net Tax Benefit actually realized in the year of the Liabilities from the incurrence or payment of any such Liabilities. 

(f) If an Indemnified Person recovers any amount with respect to any Liabilities that were previously satisfied by the Indemnifying
Person such Indemnified Person shall promptly pay such amount to the Indemnifying Person. 
 Section 8. Term and
Termination. 
 This Agreement shall remain in force and effect until the earlier of (i) February 22, 2013 (the
“Term”), and (ii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9 hereof. 
 Section 9.
Termination. 
 (a) This Agreement may be terminated by the Collateral Manager upon a Final Determination (in accordance
with this Section 9) of Cause. For purposes of determining “Cause”, such term shall mean a material breach by the Service Provider of its obligations to deliver the Reports under Section 2 hereof; provided however that the
Service Provider fails within 30 days of its receiving written notice from the Collateral Manager to cure such breach (the “Cure Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that if at the end of a Cure Period, with
respect to a termination under Section 9(a), the Service Provider reasonably believes it has cured any alleged material breach, the matter shall be submitted to an independent mediator, selected in accordance with the American Arbitration
Association Rules, who shall finally determine if (i) the Service Provider has materially breached Section 2 of this Agreement, and (ii) has failed to cure such breach within the Cure Period (such a determination, the “Final
Determination”). 
 (b) If a Final Determination has been made that “Cause” exists and this Agreement is
terminated (in accordance with (a) above) by the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager shall deliver written instructions to the Escrow Agent, along with a copy of the Final Determination, directing that the Escrow Fund shall be delivered
to the Collateral Manager. 
 Section 10. Independent Contractor. 

The Service Provider is and will hereafter act as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the Collateral Manager, and nothing
in this Agreement may be interpreted or construed to create an employment, partnership, joint venture or other relationship between the Service Provider and the Collateral Manager. For the avoidance of doubt, the Service Provider’s sole client
under this Agreement shall be the Collateral Manager and not the Issuer.

relief in equity and the Service Provider hereby waives any and all defenses that could exist in its favor in connection with such enforcement and waives any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with such enforcement.

prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. 
 Section 14. Amendment;
Waiver. Except as provided otherwise herein, this Agreement may not be amended, nor may any rights hereunder be waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by the party sought to be charged with such amendment or waiver and, in each case,
the written approval of the parties hereto. 
 Section 15. Assignment. The Service Provider shall not assign or
delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to a third party without the prior written consent of the Collateral 

  
 13 

 
Manager. The Collateral Manager shall assign this Agreement to any purchaser of its rights under the Agreements without the prior consent of the Service Provider, provided that such purchaser
agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. 
 Section 16. Services Not Exclusive. The Service
Provider and each Affiliate thereof may engage, simultaneously with their activities hereunder, in other businesses and make investments for their own accounts, and may render services similar to those described in this Agreement for other
individuals, companies, trusts or persons, and shall not by reason of such engaging in other businesses, making such investments, or rendering of services for others, be deemed to be acting in conflict with the interests of the Collateral Manager,
or the Issuer. 
 Section 17. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by
the laws of the State of New York. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (a) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and (b) the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each party to this Agreement agrees to commence any such action, suit or
proceeding either in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or if such suit, action or other proceeding may not be brought in such court for jurisdictional reasons, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New
York County. Each party to this Agreement further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any action,
suit or proceeding in New York with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 16. Each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any
action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in (i) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, or (ii) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York, and hereby and thereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 

Section 18. Parties in Interest. Except as specifically set forth in Section 7 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, any right,
benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 Section 19. Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed either directly or by an attorney-in-fact, in any number of counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which upon delivery when taken together shall constitute a single contract. 

Section 20. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it
may have to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each party hereto (i) certifies that no representative, agent or
attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other Parties have been induced to
enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 20. 

Section 21. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced
by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or 

  
 14 

 
other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as
closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. 

Section 22. Survival. The provisions of Sections 4, 6(d), 6(e), 7, 9, 12, 17 and 20 hereof shall survive the termination of
this Agreement. 
 Section 23. Miscellaneous. No failure on the part of either party to exercise, and no delay on
its part in exercising, any right or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or
remedy. 
 Section 24. Headings. The section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference only
and are not intended to describe, interpret, define or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

Section 25. Gender and Number. Whenever required by the context hereof, the singular shall include the plural and the plural
shall include the singular. The neuter gender shall include the feminine and masculine genders.

 Exhibit 10.2 

SERVICES AGREEMENT 
 THIS SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 29th day of July, 2010, by and between ATP Management LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State
of Delaware (the “Collateral Manager”), and Cohen & Company Financial Management LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Service Provider”). 

WHEREAS, the Collateral Manager is a party to those Collateral Management Agreements (the “Collateral Management
Agreements” and Collateral Administration Agreements (“Collateral Administration Agreements”) listed on Exhibit A hereto (which Exhibit A may be amended by the parties from time to time (collectively, the
“Agreements”)) by and among the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and the Trustee identified in each such Agreement; 
 WHEREAS, the Service Provider has experience in preparing certain Reports (as defined herein) related to the Issuers and the Collateral, which will assist the Collateral Manager in fulfilling its
obligations under the Agreements; 
 WHEREAS, each of the Collateral Manager and the Service Provider desires that the
Collateral Manager retain the services of the Service Provider to deliver the Reports for the benefit of the Collateral Manager; and 
 WHEREAS, the Collateral Manager has deposited the amounts identified on Exhibit B hereto as the Escrowed Amount (which amount shall be increased by the applicable amounts on Exhibit C to
reflect any amendments to Exhibit A to include any additional Agreements (such amount, the “Escrow Fund”)) with TD Bank, N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”) to secure the payment of the Service Fees (as defined
herein). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

Section 1. General. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings specified in those indentures listed on Exhibit D hereto (which Exhibit D may be amended by the parties from time to time) (each such indenture, an “Indenture” and
together, the “Indentures”) or, if not defined therein, as defined in the Agreements. 
 Section 2.

Indemnified Person that is not required to be performed or permitted under the terms of this Agreement. 
 (b) The Collateral
Manager shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Service Provider and each of its Affiliates and all of their respective officers, managers, directors, members, partners, employees, agents, successors and assigns thereof (“Advisor

expenses are incurred in investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any claim, action, proceeding or investigation with respect to any pending or threatened litigation caused by, arising out of or in connection with (i) any liability,
obligation or commitment, or any act or omission of the Collateral Manager, under the Agreements or the Indentures with respect to any period after the date hereof, or (ii) any action taken by, or any failure to act by, the Service Provider or
any Affiliate thereof, and in each such case to the extent not constituting a Service Provider Breach; provided, however, that in no case shall the Collateral Manager be required to indemnify any Advisor Indemnified Person to the extent such
Liabilities are the result of (x) the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of an Advisor Indemnified Person or (y) any action by an Advisor Indemnified Person that is not required to be performed or permitted under the terms of this
Agreement. 
 (c) The Service Provider shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Manager and each of its
Affiliates (the “CM Indemnified Persons”) from and against any Liabilities, and shall promptly reimburse the Collateral Manager or each Affiliate thereof for all reasonable fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and
accountants’ fees and expenses) as such fees and expenses are incurred in investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any claim, action, proceeding or investigation with respect to any pending or threatened litigation, in each case, to the
extent and only to the extent that such Liabilities, fees, expenses and other amounts are caused by, arise out of or in connection with a Service Provider Breach or an action by an Adviser Indemnified Person that is not required to be performed or
permitted under the terms of this Agreement. 
 (d) Procedures for Indemnification.

 9 

  
 (ii) If
any CM Indemnified Person or Advisor Indemnified Person (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall claim indemnification hereunder for any claim (other than a Third Party Claim) for which indemnification is provided in Section 7, the
Indemnified Person shall promptly, and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days, after such Indemnified Person first becomes aware of facts that give rise to the basis for such claim, give written notice (a “Notice of
Claim”) to the Service Provider or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, setting forth the basis for such claim and the nature and estimated amount of the claim (which estimated amount shall include, without limitation, an estimate of the
Liabilities that may be incurred in connection with defending any such claim), all in reasonable detail. The failure to give a Notice of Claim to the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability hereunder unless the
Indemnifying Person was actually prejudiced by such failure and then only to the extent of such prejudice. If the Service Provider or the Collateral Manager, as applicable, disputes any claim set forth in the Notice of Claim, it shall deliver to
such Indemnified Person that has given the Notice of Claim a written notice indicating its dispute of such Notice of Claim in reasonable detail (an “Objection Notice”) within thirty (30) days after the date the Notice of Claim
is given (the “Response Period”). 
 (iii) If an Indemnified Person shall make a Third Party
Claim for which indemnification is provided in Section 7 hereof, the Indemnified Person shall promptly, and in any event within ninety (90) days, after such Indemnified Person first becomes aware of facts which give rise to the basis for
such claim, give written notice (a “Third Party Notice”) to the Service Provider or the Collateral Manager, as applicable (each, an “Indemnifying Person”), of the basis for such claim, setting forth the nature of
the claim or demand in reasonable detail, and the estimated amount of the claim (which estimated amount shall include, without limitation, an estimate of the Liabilities that may be incurred in connection with defending any such claim). The failure
to give a Third Party Notice to the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability hereunder unless the Indemnifying Person was actually prejudiced by such failure and then only to the extent of such prejudice. The
Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes (but subject to the consent of the Indemnified Person), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person so
long as the Indemnifying Person notifies the Indemnified Person in writing within sixty (60) days after the Indemnified Person has given a Third Party Notice to the Indemnifying Person that the Indemnifying Person will indemnify the Indemnified
Person from and against the entirety of any Liabilities the Indemnified Person may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the claim, and the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of the Proceeding. If
the Indemnifying Person (with the consent of the Indemnified Person) assumes the defense of such claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses, incurred by such
Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that in the event that the interests of the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person are, or may reasonably become, in conflict with or adverse to one
another with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person may retain its own counsel at the Indemnifying Person’s expense with respect to such Third Party Claim. If an 

  
 10 

 
Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of such an action, (A) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s consent
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (1) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the
Indemnified Person and (2) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person and (B) the Indemnifying Person shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected
without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If notice is given to an Indemnifying Person of the commencement of any action and it does not, within sixty (60) days after the Indemnified Person’s
notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense thereof (or the Indemnifying Person does not consent to the election by the Indemnifying Person to assume the defense thereof), the Indemnified Person
shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Person, undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by the Indemnified Person and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Person) such claim, liability or expense, and shall have the right to
compromise or settle such claim, liability or expense with the consent of the Indemnifying Person. 
 (e) The amount of any
Liabilities for which indemnification is provided for under this Agreement shall be (i) reduced by any amounts actually realized as a result of any indemnification, contribution or other payment by any Third Party, (ii) reduced by any
insurance proceeds or other amounts actually recovered or received from third parties with respect to such Liabilities; provided that the amount of any insurance proceeds received by an Indemnified Person shall be equal to the difference
between (A) the actual after-tax amount of such proceeds less any deductible paid by the applicable Indemnified Person and (B) the net present value (as determined by the applicable Indemnified Person in good faith) of the aggregate
incremental premium costs which are incurred by an Indemnified Person as a consequence of the Liabilities or event which gives rise to the payment of insurance proceeds and (iii) reduced by any Net Tax Benefit actually realized in the year of
the Liabilities from the incurrence or payment of any such Liabilities. 
 (f) If an Indemnified Person recovers any amount with
respect to any Liabilities that were previously satisfied by the Indemnifying Person such Indemnified Person shall promptly pay such amount to the Indemnifying Person. 
 Section 8. Term and Termination. 
 This Agreement shall remain in force
and effect until the earlier of (i) February 22, 2013 (the “Term”), and (ii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9 hereof. 

Section 9. Termination. 
 (a) This Agreement may be terminated by the Collateral Manager upon a Final Determination (in accordance with this Section 9) of Cause. For purposes of determining “Cause”, such term
shall mean a material breach by the Service Provider of its obligations to deliver the Reports under Section 2 hereof; provided however that the Service Provider fails 

  
 11 

 
within 30 days of its receiving written notice from the Collateral Manager to cure such breach (the “Cure Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that if at
the end of a Cure Period, with respect to a termination under Section 9(a), the Service Provider reasonably believes it has cured any alleged material breach, the matter shall be submitted to an independent mediator, selected in accordance with
the American Arbitration Association Rules, who shall finally determine if (i) the Service Provider has materially breached Section 2 of this Agreement, and (ii) has failed to cure such breach within the Cure Period (such a
determination, the “Final Determination”). 
 (b) If a Final Determination has been made that “Cause”
exists and this Agreement is terminated (in accordance with (a) above) by the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager shall deliver written instructions to the Escrow Agent, along with a copy of the Final Determination, directing that the
Escrow Fund shall be delivered to the Collateral Manager. 
 Section 10. Independent Contractor. 

The Service Provider is and will hereafter act as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the Collateral Manager, and nothing
in this Agreement may be interpreted or construed to create an employment, partnership, joint venture or other relationship between the Service Provider and the Collateral Manager. For the avoidance of doubt, the Service Provider’s sole client
under this Agreement shall be the Collateral Manager and not the Issuer.

 Section 12. Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Collateral Manager will be irreparably harmed and that there will be no adequate remedy at law for

relief in equity and the Service Provider hereby waives any and all defenses that could exist in its favor in connection with such enforcement and waives any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with such enforcement.
All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative. 
 Section 13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the matters set forth herein and supersedes any and all
prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. 
 Section 14. Amendment;
Waiver. Except as provided otherwise herein, this Agreement may not be amended, nor may any rights hereunder be waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by the party sought to be charged with such amendment or waiver and, in each case,
the written approval of the parties hereto. 
 Section 15. Assignment. The Service Provider shall not assign or
delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to a third party without the prior written consent of the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Manager shall assign this Agreement to any purchaser of its rights under the Agreements
without the prior consent of the Service Provider, provided that such purchaser agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. 
 Section 16. Services Not Exclusive. The Service Provider and each Affiliate thereof may engage, simultaneously with their activities hereunder, in other businesses and make investments for
their own accounts, and may render services similar to those described in this Agreement for other individuals, companies, trusts or persons, and shall not by reason of such engaging in other businesses, making such investments, or rendering of
services for others, be deemed to be acting in conflict with the interests of the Collateral Manager, or the Issuer. 

Section 17. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New
York. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (a) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and (b) the United States District Court for the Southern District

 14 

 
commence any such action, suit or proceeding either in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or if such suit, action or other proceeding may not be brought in
such court for jurisdictional reasons, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County. Each party to this Agreement further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s
respective address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in New York with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 16. Each of the parties to this
Agreement irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in (i) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New
York County, or (ii) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and hereby and thereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or
proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 Section 18. Parties in Interest.
Except as specifically set forth in Section 7 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns, and nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. 

Section 19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed either directly or by an attorney-in-fact, in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which upon delivery when taken together shall constitute a single contract. 
 Section 20. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation directly or
indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each party hereto (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise,
that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other Parties have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and
certifications in this Section 20. 
 Section 21. Severability. If any term or other provision of this
Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or
other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner
in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. 

Section 22. Survival. The provisions of Sections 4, 6(d), 6(e), 7, 9, 12, 17 and 20 hereof shall survive the termination of
this Agreement. 

  
 15 

  
 Section 23.
Miscellaneous. No failure on the part of either party to exercise, and no delay on its part in exercising, any right or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or
remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. 
 Section 24.
Headings. The section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference only and are not intended to describe, interpret, define or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
