(b)               The Collateral Manager shall monitor the Assets on behalf of the Issuer on an ongoing basis and will further agree to provide or cause to be provided to the Issuer all reports, schedules and other data reasonably available to the Collateral Manager that the Issuer is required to prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered under the Indenture, in such forms and containing such information required thereby, in reasonably sufficient time for such required reports, schedules and data to be reviewed and delivered by or on behalf of the Issuer to the parties entitled thereto under the Indenture. The obligation of the Collateral Manager to furnish such reports, schedules and other data is subject to the Collateral Manager’s timely receipt of necessary information, reports, schedules and other data from the Person responsible for the delivery or preparation thereof (including without limitation, Obligors of the Collateral Obligations, the Rating Agency, the Trustee and the Collateral Administrator) and to any confidentiality restrictions with respect thereto.

(c)               Without limiting the foregoing, the Issuer authorizes the Collateral Manager to, at any time and subject to and in accordance with this Agreement, the Indenture and the Loan Sale Agreements: (i) direct the Trustee to dispose of any or all Assets in the open market or otherwise, (ii) direct the Trustee to acquire or retain, as security for the Secured Notes in substitution for or in addition to any Collateral Obligations, Eligible Investments or other Assets, one or more Collateral Obligations, Eligible Investments or other Assets, and (iii) as agent of the Issuer, direct the Trustee to take the following actions with respect to any Asset:

(A)             tender such Assets pursuant to an Offer;

(B)              consent or object to any proposed amendment, modification or waiver with respect to such Asset, including pursuant to an Offer;

(C)              retain or dispose of any securities or other property (if other than Cash) received pursuant to an Offer or with respect to any Asset;

(D)             waive any default with respect to any Asset;

(E)              vote to accelerate, or to rescind the acceleration of, the maturity of any Asset; or

(F)              exercise any other rights or remedies with respect to such Asset as provided in the related Underlying Document or take any other action consistent with the terms of the Indenture and the standard of care set forth in Section 2(f).

(d)               The Issuer hereby irrevocably (except as provided below) appoints the Collateral Manager as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the performance of its duties provided for in this Agreement or in the Indenture. The Issuer hereby ratifies and confirms all that such attorney-in-fact (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto and authorizes such attorney-in-fact to exercise full discretion and act for the Issuer in the same manner and with the same force and effect as the managers or officers of the Issuer might or could do in respect of the performance of such services, as well as in respect of all other things the Collateral Manager deems necessary or incidental to the furtherance or conduct of such services, subject in each case to the other terms of this Agreement. The Issuer hereby authorizes such attorney-in-fact, in its sole discretion (but subject to applicable law and the provisions of this Agreement and the Indenture), to take all actions that it considers reasonably necessary and appropriate in respect of the Assets, this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents. This grant of power of attorney is coupled with an interest, and it shall survive and not be affected by the subsequent dissolution or bankruptcy of the Issuer, except that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the appointment herein of the Collateral Manager as the Issuer’s agent and attorney-in-fact shall automatically cease and terminate upon the effective date of any termination of this Agreement, the resignation of the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 12 or any removal of the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 14.

(e)               The Collateral Manager and the Issuer shall take such other action, and furnish such certificates, opinions and other documents, as may be reasonably requested by the other party hereto in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and to facilitate compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the terms of this Agreement.

(f)                The Collateral Manager will perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture and the Fiscal Agency Agreement with reasonable care and in good faith using a degree of skill and attention no less than that which the Collateral Manager exercises with respect to comparable assets that it may manage for itself and its other clients and which is consistent with what the Collateral Manager reasonably believes to be the customary and usual collateral management practices that a prudent collateral manager of national recognition in the United States would use to manage comparable assets for its own account and for the account of others, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the Indenture and the Fiscal Agency Agreement or under applicable law; provided that the Collateral Manager shall not be liable for any losses or damages resulting from any failure to satisfy the foregoing standard of care except to the extent that such failure would result in liability pursuant to Section 10. Without prejudicing the preceding, the Collateral Manager shall follow its customary standards, policies and procedures in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Indenture and the Fiscal Agency Agreement.

3.                  Brokerage.

If the Collateral Manager chooses to effect a transaction for the purchase or sale of an Asset through a broker-dealer, the Collateral Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the best execution for all orders placed with respect to the Assets, considering all circumstances (but, for the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the foregoing, with no obligation to obtain the lowest price) and in a manner permitted by law. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Collateral Manager may, in the allocation of business, take into consideration research and other brokerage services furnished to the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates by brokers and dealers which are not Affiliates of the Collateral Manager. Such services may be furnished to the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates in connection with its other advisory activities or investment operations. Transactions may be executed as part of concurrent authorizations to purchase or sell the same investment for other accounts served by the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates. When these concurrent transactions occur, the objective of the Collateral Manager (and any of its Affiliates involved in such transactions) shall be to allocate the executions among the accounts in an equitable manner. A more complete description of the Collateral Manager’s policies with respect to the placement of orders is set forth in the Collateral Manager’s most recent Form ADV, a copy of which has been made available to the Issuer and to the Trustee.

4.                  Additional Activities of the Collateral Manager.

Nothing herein shall prevent the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates from engaging in its customary businesses, or from rendering services of any kind to the Issuer and its Affiliates, the Trustee, the Holders or beneficial owners of the Securities or any other Person or entity to the extent permitted by applicable law and not expressly prohibited under the Indenture. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates and any directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates may, among other things, and subject to any limits specified in the Indenture:

(a)               serve as directors (whether supervisory or managing), partners, officers, employees, agents, nominees or signatories for the Issuer, its Affiliates or any issuer of any obligations included in the Assets, to the extent permitted by their Governing Instruments, as from time to time amended, or by any resolutions duly adopted by the Issuer, its Affiliates or any issuer of any obligations included in the Assets, pursuant to their respective Governing Instruments;

(b)               receive fees for services of any nature rendered to the issuer of any obligations included in the Assets;

(c)               be retained to provide services to the Issuer or its Affiliates that are unrelated to this Agreement, and be paid therefor;

(d)               be a secured or unsecured creditor of, or hold an equity interest in, the Issuer, its Affiliates or any issuer of any obligation included in the Assets;

(e)               make a market in any Collateral Obligations or in any Notes; and

(f)                serve as a member of any “creditors’ committee” or informal workout group with respect to any obligation included in the Assets which is, has become, or, in the Collateral Manager’s opinion, may become a Defaulted Obligation.

It is understood that the Collateral Manager and any of its Affiliates have engaged (and expect to continue to engage) in other business and have furnished (and expect to continue to furnish) investment management and advisory services to others, including Persons which may have investment policies similar to those followed by the Collateral Manager with respect to the Assets and which may own obligations or securities of the same class, or which are of the same type, as the Collateral Obligations or the Eligible Investments or other obligations or securities of the Obligors or issuers of the Collateral Obligations or the Eligible Investments. The Collateral Manager will be free, in its sole discretion, to make recommendations to others, or effect transactions on behalf of itself or for others, which may be the same as or different from those effected with respect to the Assets and the Issuer. Nothing in the Indenture or this Agreement shall prevent the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates, acting either as principal or agent on behalf of others, from buying or selling, or from recommending to or directing any other account to buy or sell, at any time, obligations or securities of the same kind or class, or obligations or securities of a different kind or class of the same Obligor or issuer, as those directed by the Collateral Manager to be purchased or sold on behalf of the Issuer.

It is understood that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates or their respective Related Persons or any member of their families or a Person advised by the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates may have an interest in a particular transaction or in obligations or securities of the same kind or class, or obligations or securities of a different kind or class of the same Obligor or issuer, as those whose purchase or sale the Collateral Manager may direct under this Agreement. If, in light of market conditions and investment objectives, the Collateral Manager determines that it would be advisable to purchase or sell the same Collateral Obligation both for the Issuer, and either the proprietary account of the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate of the Collateral Manager or another client of the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate, the Collateral Manager will allocate such investment opportunities across such Persons for which such opportunities are appropriate in a manner it deems fair and equitable over time in accordance with (i) its internal conflicts of interest and allocation policies (as such policies and procedures may change from time to time in the sole discretion of the Collateral Manager) and (ii) any applicable requirements of the Advisers Act. The Issuer agrees that, in the course of managing the Collateral Obligations held by the Issuer, the Collateral Manager may consider its relationships with other clients (including Obligors and issuers) and its Affiliates. The Collateral Manager may decline to make a particular investment for the Issuer in view of such relationships.

Unless the Collateral Manager determines in its sole discretion that such purchase or sale may be appropriate, the Collateral Manager may refrain from directing the purchase or sale hereunder of securities or obligations of (i) Persons of which the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates or any of its or their officers, directors, partners or employees are directors or officers, (ii) Persons for which the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates acts as financial adviser or underwriter or (iii) Persons about which the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates has information which the Collateral Manager deems confidential or non-public or otherwise might prohibit it from trading such securities or obligations in accordance with applicable law. The Collateral Manager shall not be obligated to utilize with respect to the Assets any particular investment opportunity of which it becomes aware or to pursue any particular investment strategy.

5.                  Acquisitions from or Dispositions to the Collateral Manager and Related Parties.

Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations and subject to this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the Loan Sale Agreements and the Indenture, the Collateral Manager may direct the Trustee to acquire a Collateral Obligation from, or sell a Collateral Obligation, Eligible Investment or Equity Security to, the Collateral Manager, any of its Affiliates or any client for whom the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates serve as investment advisor. Any such acquisition by the Issuer shall be for Fair Market Value or as otherwise specified in the Indenture.

6.                  Records; Confidentiality.

(a)               The Collateral Manager shall maintain appropriate books of account and records relating to services performed hereunder, and such books of account and records shall be accessible for inspection by a representative of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Independent accountants appointed by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer pursuant to Article X of the Indenture at any time during normal business hours and upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice. The Collateral Manager shall provide the Issuer with sufficient information and reports to maintain the books and records of the Issuer.

(b)               The Collateral Manager shall keep confidential any and all information obtained in connection with the services rendered hereunder and shall not disclose any such information to non-affiliated third parties except (i) with the prior written consent of the Issuer, (ii) such information as any Rating Agency shall reasonably request in connection with its rating of the Notes, (iii) in connection with establishing trading or investment accounts or otherwise in connection with effecting transactions on behalf of the Issuer, (iv) as required by law, regulation, court order or the rules or regulations of any self-regulating organization, regulatory authority, body or official having jurisdiction over the Collateral Manager, (v) to its professional advisers or (vi) such information as shall have been publicly disclosed other than in violation of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Manager (a) may present summary data with respect to the performance of the Assets in conjunction with presentation of performance statistics of other funds managed or to be managed by the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates, and may aggregate data with respect to the performance of one or more categories of Assets with similar data of such other funds and (b) may disclose such other information about the Issuer, the Assets and the Securities as is customarily disclosed by managers of collateralized loan obligations. For purposes of this Section 6, the Holders and beneficial owners of the Securities shall in no event be considered “non-affiliated third parties.”

(c)               Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, the Collateral Manager, the Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders and beneficial owners of the Securities (and each of their respective employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure (in each case, under applicable federal, state or local law) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to them relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure; provided that such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure shall be kept confidential to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with applicable U.S. federal or state laws.

7.                  Obligations of the Collateral Manager.

Unless otherwise specifically required by any provision of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or applicable law, the Collateral Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no action is taken by it, and shall not intentionally or with reckless disregard take any action, which would (a) materially adversely affect the Issuer for purposes of Cayman Islands law, United States federal or state law or any other law known to the Collateral Manager to be applicable to the Issuer, (b) not be permitted under the Issuers’ Governing Instruments, (c) violate in any material respect any law, rule or regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Issuer, including, without limitation, any Cayman Islands or United States federal, state or other applicable securities law, (d) require registration of the Issuer or the pool of Assets as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act or (e) result in the Issuer or the Co-Issuer violating the terms of the Indenture. In connection with the foregoing, but without prejudice to Section 2 hereof, the Collateral Manager will not be required to make any independent investigation of any facts or laws in connection with its obligations under this Agreement or the conduct of its business generally. If the Collateral Manager is ordered to take any such action by the Issuer, the Collateral Manager shall promptly notify the Issuer, the Trustee and the Rating Agency of the Collateral Manager’s judgment that such action would, or would reasonably be expected to, have one or more of the consequences set forth above and need not take such action unless (i) the action would not have the consequences set forth in clause (c) above and (ii) the Issuer again requests the Collateral Manager to do so and a Majority of each Class of Notes have consented thereto in writing. Notwithstanding any such request, the Collateral Manager need not take such action unless arrangements satisfactory to it are made to insure or indemnify the Collateral Manager from any liability it may incur as a result of such action. The Collateral Manager, its partners, their respective partners, and the Collateral Manager’s directors, officers, stockholders and employees shall not be liable to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Holders or any other Person, except as provided in Section 10 of this Agreement. Any indemnification or insurance pursuant to this Section 7 that is payable out of the Assets shall be payable only in accordance with the priorities set forth in Article XI of the Indenture.

8.                  Compensation.

(a)               The Issuer shall pay to the Collateral Manager, for services rendered and performance of its obligations under this Agreement, a fee, payable in arrears on each Payment Date (including any Redemption Date, other than a Redemption Date in connection with a redemption of Secured Notes in part by Class not occurring on a regularly scheduled Payment Date) in accordance with the Priority of Payments that consists of (i) an amount equal to 0.15% per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed during the related Interest Accrual Period) of the Fee Basis Amount measured as of the first day of the Collection Period relating to such Payment Date (the “Base Management Fee”) and (ii) an amount equal to 0.25% per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed during the related Interest Accrual Period) of the Fee Basis Amount measured as of the first day of the Collection Period relating to such Payment Date (the “Subordinated Management Fee” and, together with the Base Management Fee, the “Management Fees”). If any portion of any Management Fee payable on any Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments is not paid in full for any reason, such portion shall be deferred and remain due and payable on subsequent Payment Dates.

(b)               The Collateral Manager may, in its sole discretion, waive its rights to receive any portion of the Management Fees payable on any Payment Date. The Collateral Manager hereby waives its rights to receive all Management Fees until such date as the Collateral Manager notifies the Issuer and the Trustee that it is revoking such waiver.

(c)               If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, or if the Collateral Manager resigns or is removed, the Base Management Fee and the Subordinated Management Fee will each be prorated for any partial period elapsing from the last Payment Date on which such Collateral Manager was entitled to receive the Base Management Fee and the Subordinated Management Fee to the effective date of such termination, resignation or removal and shall be immediately due and payable on each Payment Date following the effective date of such termination, resignation or removal in accordance with the Priority of Payments until paid in full. Otherwise, such Collateral Manager shall not be entitled to any further compensation for further services but shall be entitled to receive any expense reimbursement accrued to the effective date of termination, resignation or removal and any indemnity amounts owing (or that may become owing) under this Agreement. Any Management Fee, expense reimbursement and indemnities owed to such Collateral Manager or owed to any successor Collateral Manager on any Payment Date shall be paid pro rata based on the amount thereof then owing to each such Person, subject to the Priority of Payments.

(d)               The Collateral Manager shall be responsible for expenses incurred in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, the Issuer will pay or reimburse the Collateral Manager for expenses including fees and out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Collateral Manager in connection with the services provided under this Agreement with respect to (i) the costs and expenses of the Collateral Manager incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and all other agreements and matters related to the issuance of any Securities; (ii) any transfer fees necessary to register any Collateral Obligation in accordance with the Indenture; (iii) any fees and expenses in connection with the acquisition, management or disposition of Assets or otherwise in connection with the Securities or the Issuer (including (a) investment related travel, communications and related expenses, (b) loan processing fees, accounting and legal fees and expenses (including internally allocated expenses) and other expenses of professionals retained by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer and (c) amounts in connection with the termination, cancellation or abandonment of a potential acquisition or disposition of any Assets that is not consummated); (iv) any and all taxes, regulatory and governmental charges that may be incurred or payable by the Issuer; (v) any and all insurance premiums or expenses incurred in connection with the activities of the Issuer by the Collateral Manager; (vi) any and all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the rating of the Secured Notes or obtaining ratings or credit estimates on Collateral Obligations, and communications with the Rating Agency; (vii) any and all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Collateral Manager's communications with the Holders (including charges related to annual meetings and for preparation of reports); (viii) costs, fees and expenses of one or more firms that provide software databases and applications for the purpose of modeling, evaluating and monitoring the Assets and the Securities pursuant to a licensing or other agreement; (ix) fees and expenses for services to the Issuer in respect of the Assets relating to asset pricing and rating services; (x) any and all expenses incurred to comply with any law or regulation related to the activities of the Issuer and, to the extent relating to the Issuer and the Assets, the Collateral Manager; (xi) the fees and expenses of any independent advisor employed to value or consider Collateral Obligations; (xii) any and all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with any amendment or supplemental indenture effected (or proposed to be effected) pursuant to the Indenture; (xiii) in the event the Issuer is included in the consolidated financial statements of the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates, costs and expenses associated with the preparation of such financial statements and other information by the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates to the extent related to the inclusion of the Issuer in such financial statements; (xiv) any and all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and audit of the Issuer’s financial statements; (xv) any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by the Collateral Manager in connection with complying with applicable law; and (xvi) as otherwise agreed upon by the Issuer and the Collateral Manager, to be paid in accordance with the Indenture. In addition, the Issuer will pay or reimburse the costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants) of the Collateral Manager and the Issuer incurred in connection with or incidental to the entering into of this Agreement or any amendment hereto.

9.                  Benefit of the Agreement.

The Collateral Manager shall perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Indenture applicable to it and shall use all reasonable endeavors, in the course of carrying out such obligations, to protect the interests of the Holders as a group. The Collateral Manager agrees that such obligations shall be enforceable at the instance of the Issuer, the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, or the requisite percentage of Holders as provided in the Indenture.

10.              Limits of Collateral Manager Responsibility.

(a)               The Collateral Manager assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder and under the terms of the Indenture applicable to it in good faith and shall not be responsible for any action or inaction of the Issuer or the Trustee in following or declining to follow any advice, recommendation or direction of the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Manager, its Affiliates, and their respective Related Persons shall not be liable to the Issuers, the Trustee, any Holder of Securities, any holder of the Issuer’s ordinary shares, the Placement Agent, any of their respective Affiliates or Related Persons or any other Person for any act, omission, error of judgment, mistake of law, or for any claim, loss, liability, damage, judgements, assessments, settlement cost, or other expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) arising out of any investment, or for any other act or omission in the performance of the Collateral Manager’s obligations under or in connection with this Agreement or the terms of any other Transaction Document applicable to the Collateral Manager, incurred as a result of actions taken or recommended or for any omissions of the Collateral Manager, or for any decrease in the value of the Assets, except the Collateral Manager will be liable (i) by reason of acts or omissions constituting bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement and under the terms of the Indenture or (ii) with respect to the Collateral Manager Information, as of the date made, containing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements in the Offering Circular, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) collectively referred to as “Collateral Manager Breaches”).

(b)               The Collateral Manager shall not be liable for any consequential, punitive, exemplary or special damages or lost profits under this Agreement or under the Indenture. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to waive any liability which cannot be waived under applicable state or federal law or any rules or regulations thereunder.

(c)               Indemnity by the Issuer. The Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless (the Issuer in such case, the “Indemnifying Party”) the Collateral Manager, its Affiliates, and their respective Related Persons (such parties collectively in such case, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, assessments, costs or other liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) (as Administrative Expenses) and will promptly reimburse each such Indemnified Party for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party with respect thereto (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and costs of collection) (collectively, “Expenses”) (as Administrative Expenses) arising out of or in connection with the issuance of the Securities (including, without limitation, any untrue statement of material fact or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Offering Circular, or any omission or alleged omission to state in the Offering Circular a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, other than Collateral Manager Information), the transactions contemplated by the Offering Circular, the Indenture or this Agreement and any acts or omissions of any such Indemnified Party; provided that such Indemnified Party shall not be indemnified for any Losses or Expenses incurred as a result of any Collateral Manager Breach or any information contained under the headings “U.S. Credit Risk Retention” and “EU Risk Retention Requirements—The Retention Holder” in the Offering Circular as of the date made containing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements in the Offering Circular, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(d)               Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the obligations of the Issuer under this Section 10 shall be limited-recourse obligations of the Issuer, payable solely out of the Assets in accordance with the priorities set forth in Article XI of the Indenture and shall be subject to the terms of Section 22 hereof.

(e)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed so as to provide for the exculpation of the Collateral Manager or the indemnification of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager for any liability (including liability under U.S. federal securities laws), to the extent (but only to the extent) that such liability may not be waived, modified or limited under applicable law or such indemnification may not be demanded under applicable law, but shall otherwise be construed so as to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(f)                In providing services under this Agreement, the Collateral Manager may rely in good faith upon and will be fully protected and incur no liability for acting at the direction of the Issuer (where such direction has been given without direct advice from the Collateral Manager) or for relying upon advice of nationally recognized counsel, accountants or other advisers as the Collateral Manager determines, in its sole discretion, is reasonably appropriate in connection with the services provided by the Collateral Manager under this Agreement.

(g)               An Indemnified Party shall (or with respect to an Indemnified Party other than the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager shall cause such Indemnified Party to) promptly notify the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnified Party receives a complaint, claim, compulsory process or other notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Section 10 and give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of such claim within ten (10) days after such claim is made or threatened, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and the amount (or an estimate of the amount) of the claim but failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party (i) shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from its obligations under paragraph (a) above unless and to the extent that it did not otherwise learn of such action or proceeding and to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) shall not, in any event, relieve the Indemnifying Party for any obligations to any Person entitled to indemnity pursuant to paragraph (a) above other than the indemnification obligations provided for in paragraph (a) above.

(h)               With respect to any claim made or threatened against an Indemnified Party, or compulsory process or request served upon such Indemnified Party for which such Indemnified Party is or may be entitled to indemnification under this Section 10, such Indemnified Party shall (or with respect to an Indemnified Party other than the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager shall cause such Indemnified Party to), at the Indemnifying Party’s expense:

(i)                 provide the Indemnifying Party such information and cooperation with respect to such claim as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably require, including, but not limited to, making appropriate personnel available to the Indemnifying Party at such reasonable times as the Indemnifying Party may request;

(ii)              cooperate and take all such steps as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request to preserve and protect any defense to such claim;

(iii)            in the event suit is brought with respect to such claim, upon reasonable prior notice, afford to the Indemnifying Party the right, which the Indemnifying Party may exercise in its sole discretion and at its expense, to participate in the investigation, defense and settlement of such claim;

(iv)             neither incur any material expense to defend against nor release or settle any such claim or make any admission with respect thereto (other than routine or incontestable admissions or factual admissions the failure to make which would expose such Indemnified Party to unindemnified liability) without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall have advised such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified hereunder with respect to such claim; and

(v)               upon reasonable prior notice, afford to the Indemnifying Party the right, in its sole discretion and at its sole expense, to assume the defense of such claim, including, but not limited to, the right to designate counsel and to control all negotiations, litigation, arbitration, settlements, compromises and appeals of such claim; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such claim, it shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for any Indemnified Party incurred thereafter in connection with such claim except that if such Indemnified Party reasonably determines that counsel designated by the Indemnifying Party has a conflict of interest, such Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its own counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances; and provided further, that prior to entering into any final settlement or compromise, such Indemnifying Party shall seek the consent of the Indemnified Party and use its best efforts in the light of the then prevailing circumstances (including, without limitation, any express or implied time constraint on any pending settlement offer) to obtain the consent of such Indemnified Party as to the terms of settlement or compromise. If an Indemnified Party does not consent to the settlement or compromise within a reasonable time under the circumstances, the Indemnifying Party shall not thereafter be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any amount in excess of such proposed settlement or compromise.

(i)                 No Indemnified Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle or compromise any claim giving rise to a claim for indemnity hereunder, or permit a default or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant to the Indemnifying Party of a release from liability substantially equivalent to the release given by the claimant to such Indemnified Party in respect of such claim.

(j)                 In the event that any Indemnified Party waives its right to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to appoint counsel to represent such Indemnified Party nor shall the Indemnifying Party reimburse such Indemnified Party for any costs of counsel to such Indemnified Party.

(k)               Indemnity by Collateral Manager. The Collateral Manager shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer and its Related Persons from and against any and all Losses and shall reimburse each such Person for all Expenses in investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any claim, action, proceeding or investigation with respect to any pending or threatened litigation against the Issuer or any such Related Person (collectively, “Actions”), to the extent that such Action is caused by, or is a direct consequence of, any Collateral Manager Breach; provided that no such indemnity shall be paid to the extent that such Action was caused by, or arose out of or in connection with, bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the Issuer or any Related Person.

11.                No Partnership or Joint Venture.

The Issuer and the Collateral Manager are not partners or joint venturers with each other and nothing herein shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them. The Collateral Manager’s relation to the Issuer shall be deemed to be solely that of an independent contractor.

12.               Term; Termination.

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

(b)               This Agreement may be terminated without cause by the Collateral Manager, and the Collateral Manager may resign upon 90 days’ prior written notice (or such shorter notice as is acceptable to the Issuer) to the Issuer, the Trustee (who will forward such notice to each Holder), and the Rating Agency; provided, however, that the Collateral Manager shall have the right to resign immediately upon the effectiveness of any material change in applicable law or regulations which renders the performance by the Collateral Manager of its duties under the Collateral Management Agreement or under the Indenture to be a violation of such law or regulation. No such termination or resignation shall be effective until the date as of which a successor collateral manager shall have been appointed in accordance with this Agreement and delivered an instrument of acceptance to the Issuer and the resigned Collateral Manager and the successor collateral manager has effectively assumed all of the Collateral Manager’s duties and obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

(c)               If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12, such termination shall be without any further liability or obligation of either party to the other, except as provided in Sections 8(c), 10, 15 and 22 of this Agreement, which provisions shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(d)               Promptly after notice of any removal for Cause pursuant to Section 14 hereof or resignation of the Collateral Manager pursuant to this Section 12 while any Securities are Outstanding, the Issuer shall:

(i)                 transmit copies of such notice to the Trustee (who shall forward a copy of such notice to the Holders), the Fiscal Agent and the Rating Agency; and

(ii)              at the direction of a Majority of the Preferred Shares appoint as a successor collateral manager any institution that (A) has demonstrated an ability to professionally and competently perform duties similar to those imposed upon the Collateral Manager hereunder, (B) is legally qualified and has the capacity to assume all of the duties, responsibilities and obligations of the Collateral Manager hereunder and under the applicable terms of the Indenture, (C) does not cause the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or the pool of Assets to become required to register under the Investment Company Act, (D) has been approved by a Majority of the Controlling Class and a Majority of the Preferred Shares (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that if a Majority of the Controlling Class or a Majority of the Preferred Shares has nominated such successor, it shall be deemed to have approved of such successor) and (E) does not by its appointment cause the Issuer or the Co-Issuer to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax on a net income basis (including any tax liability imposed under Section 1446 of the Code).

(e)               If (i) a Majority of the Preferred Shares fails to nominate a successor within 30 days of initial notice of the resignation or removal of the Collateral Manager or (ii) a Majority of the Controlling Class does not approve the proposed successor nominated by the holders of the Preferred Shares within 10 days of the date of the notice of such nomination, then a Majority of the Controlling Class shall, within 60 days of the failure described in clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence, as the case may be, nominate a successor Collateral Manager that meets the criteria set forth in clause (d)(ii) above. If a Majority of the Preferred Shares approves such proposed successor nominated pursuant to the preceding sentence, such nominee shall become the Collateral Manager. If no successor Collateral Manager is appointed within 90 days (or, in the event of a change in applicable law or regulation which renders the performance by the resigning Collateral Manager of its duties under this Agreement or the Indenture to be a violation of such law or regulation, within 30 days) following the termination or resignation of the Collateral Manager, any of the Collateral Manager, a Majority of the Preferred Shares and the Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral Manager, in either such case whose appointment shall become effective after such successor has accepted its appointment and without the consent of any Holder of any Securities.

(f)                Any successor Collateral Manager shall be entitled to the Base Management Fee and the Subordinated Management Fee accruing from the effective date of its appointment. No compensation payable to such successor Collateral Manager shall be greater than such components of the Management Fee without the prior written consent of 100% of the Holders of each Class of Securities, including Collateral Manager Securities.

(g)               The Issuer, the Trustee and the successor collateral manager shall take such action (or cause the outgoing Collateral Manager to take such action) consistent with this Agreement and the terms of the Indenture applicable to the Collateral Manager, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Promptly following the appointment of a successor collateral manager in accordance with the foregoing, the Issuer shall provide written notice thereof to the Rating Agency.

(h)               In the event of removal of the Collateral Manager pursuant to this Agreement by the Issuer, the Issuer shall have all of the rights and remedies available with respect thereto at law or equity, and, without limiting the foregoing, the Issuer may by notice in writing to the Collateral Manager as provided under this Agreement terminate all the rights and obligations of the Collateral Manager under this Agreement (except those that survive termination pursuant to Section 12(c) above). Upon expiration of the applicable notice period with respect to termination specified in this Section 12 or Section 14 of this Agreement, as applicable, all authority and power of the Collateral Manager under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Assets or otherwise, shall automatically and without further action by any person or entity pass to and be vested in the successor collateral manager upon the appointment thereof. Nevertheless, the Collateral Manager shall take such steps as may be reasonably necessary to transfer such authority and power.

13.                Delegation; Assignments; Succession.

(a)               Except as provided in this Agreement, the Collateral Manager may not assign or delegate its rights or responsibilities under this Agreement without obtaining the consent of the Issuer and the consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class and a Majority of the Preferred Shares (voting separately).

(b)               The Collateral Manager may, without obtaining the consent of any Holder of Securities, but subject to any consent of the Issuer required for an assignment under the Advisers Act, assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager, to the surviving entity of a merger, consolidation or restructuring of the Collateral Manager, or to any other entity to which all or substantially all of the assets, or at the time of such transfer, the collateral management business, of the Collateral Manager has been transferred; provided that such Affiliate, successor or transferee (i) has demonstrated an ability to professionally and competently perform duties similar to those imposed upon the Collateral Manager pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) has the legal right and capacity to act as Collateral Manager under this Agreement, (iii) shall not cause any of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the pool of Assets to become required to register under the provisions of the 1940 Act and (iv) by its appointment will not cause the Issuer or Co-Issuer to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax on a net income basis (including any tax liability imposed under Section 1446 of the Code). The Collateral Manager shall deliver prior notice to the Rating Agency of any such assignment or combination.

(c)               In addition, the Collateral Manager may, without the consent of any Person, delegate to third parties (including without limitation its Affiliates) the duties assigned to the Collateral Manager under this Agreement, and employ third parties (including without limitation its Affiliates) to render advice (including investment advice), to provide services to arrange for trade execution and otherwise provide assistance to the Issuer, and to perform any of the Collateral Manager's duties under this Agreement; provided that the Collateral Manager shall not (i) delegate investment advice responsibilities, including (without limitation) asset selection, credit review and the negotiation and determination of the acquisition price of a Collateral Obligation to non-affiliates; (ii) be relieved of any of its duties under this Agreement regardless of the performance of any services by third parties; or (iii) by its appointment cause the Issuer or the Co-Issuer to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax on a net income basis (including any tax liability imposed under Section 1446 of the Code).

(d)               Any assignment by the Collateral Manager consented to by the Issuer and the required Holders shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same manner as the Collateral Manager is bound. In addition, the assignee shall execute and deliver to the Issuer and the Trustee an appropriate agreement naming such assignee as a Collateral Manager. Upon the execution and delivery of such a counterpart by the assignee, the Collateral Manager shall be released from further obligations pursuant to this Agreement, except with respect to its obligations under Section 10 of this Agreement arising prior to such assignment and except with respect to its obligations under Sections 15 and 22 hereof.

(e)               This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Issuer without the prior written consent of the Collateral Manager, except that the Collateral Manager agrees and consents to the assignment by the Issuer of this Agreement pursuant to Section 15.1(f) of the Indenture.

(f)                In the event of any assignment by the Issuer, the Issuer shall (x) use its best efforts to cause its successor to execute and deliver to the Collateral Manager such documents as the Collateral Manager shall consider reasonably necessary to effect fully such assignment and (y) provide written notice thereof to the Issuer, each Holder, the Trustee and the Rating Agency.

14.              Termination by the Issuer for Cause.

This Agreement may be terminated, and the Collateral Manager may be removed for Cause (as defined below) upon 30 Business Days’ prior written notice by the Issuer (a “Termination Notice”) at the direction of either (i) a Majority of the Controlling Class or (ii) a Majority of the Preferred Shares; provided that Collateral Manager Securities shall be disregarded and have no voting rights with respect to any vote in respect of removal of the Collateral Manager for Cause.

Simultaneous with its direction to the Issuer to so remove the Collateral Manager, either (i) a Majority of the Controlling Class or (ii) a Majority of the Preferred Shares (as applicable) shall give to the Issuer a written statement setting forth the reason for such removal (a “Notice of Removal”) and the Issuer shall deliver a copy of the Termination Notice and the Notice of Removal to the Trustee (who shall deliver a copy of such notice to the Holders) within five Business Days of receipt of such written notice.

(b)               the Collateral Manager breached any provision of this Agreement or any terms of the Indenture applicable to it (other than as covered by clause (a) above and it being understood that failure to meet any Concentration Limitation, Collateral Quality Test or Coverage Test is not a breach for purposes of this clause (b)), which breach would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any Class of Secured Notes and shall not cure such breach (if capable of being cured) within 60 days after the earlier to occur of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager receiving notice or having actual knowledge of such breach, unless, if such breach is remediable, the Collateral Manager has taken action commencing the cure thereof within such 60 day period that the Collateral Manager believes in good faith will remedy such breach within 90 days after the earlier to occur of a Responsible Officer receiving notice or having actual knowledge thereof;

(c)               the failure of any representation or warranty of the Collateral Manager in Section 16 hereof to be correct in any material respect when such representation or warranty is made, which failure (i) would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any Class of Secured Notes and (ii) if capable of being corrected, is not corrected by the Collateral Manager within 45 days of a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager receiving notice of such failure, unless if such failure is remediable, the Collateral Manager has taken action commencing the cure thereof within such 45-day period that the Collateral Manager believes in good faith will remedy such failure within 90 days after the earlier to occur of a Responsible Officer receiving notice thereof or having actual knowledge thereof;

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

(e)               the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default specified under clause (a), (b) or (c) of the definition of such term that results primarily from any material breach by the Collateral Manager of its duties under this Agreement or under the Indenture which breach or default is not cured within any applicable cure period (excluding any such Event of Default relating to a good faith dispute with respect to reasonable alternative courses of action or the meaning of any relevant provision under the Transaction Documents or any matter that is in the process of being reconciled in accordance with the applicable Transaction Documents); or

(f)                (i) the occurrence of an act by the Collateral Manager that constitutes fraud or felony criminal activity in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (as determined pursuant to a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction) or the Collateral Manager being indicted for a felony criminal offense materially related to its business of providing asset management services or (ii) any Responsible Officer of the Collateral Manager primarily responsible for the performance by the Collateral Manager of its obligations under this Agreement (in the performance of his or her investment management duties) is indicted for a felony criminal offense materially related to the business of the Collateral Manager providing asset management services and continues to have responsibility for the performance by the Collateral Manager under this Agreement for a period of thirty (30) days after such indictment.

Prior to the effective appointment of any successor collateral manager in accordance with this Agreement, the event or circumstance giving rise to the removal of the Collateral Manager for Cause described above (other than pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof) may be waived by a written approval of both a Majority of the Controlling Class and a Majority of the Preferred Shares (voting separately) as a basis for termination of this Agreement and removal of the Collateral Manager hereunder; provided that Collateral Manager Securities shall be disregarded and have no voting rights for purposes of this waiver, it being understood that if all of the Securities of either such Class are Collateral Manager Securities, the approval of a Majority of such Class shall not be required for such waiver.

If any of the events specified in clauses (a) through (f) of this Section 14 shall occur, the Collateral Manager shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Trustee (who shall forward such notice to the Holders) and the Rating Agency; provided that if the events specified

in clause (d) above shall occur, the Collateral Manager shall give written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Trustee (who will forward such notice to the holders of the Securities) and the Rating Agency immediately upon the Collateral Manager’s becoming aware of the occurrence of such event. In no event will the Trustee be required to determine whether or not Cause exists to remove the Collateral Manager.

15.               Action Upon Termination.

(a)               From and after the effective date of termination of this Agreement, the Collateral Manager shall not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder, but shall be paid all compensation to which it is entitled, and shall receive all other amounts for which it is entitled to reimbursement, all as provided in and subject to Section 8 hereof, and shall be entitled to receive any amounts owing under Sections 7 and 10 hereof. Upon such termination, the Collateral Manager shall as soon as practicable:

(b)               The Collateral Manager agrees that, notwithstanding any termination, it shall reasonably cooperate in any Proceeding arising in connection with this Agreement, the Indenture or any of the Assets (excluding any such Proceeding in which claims are asserted against the Collateral Manager or any Affiliate of the Collateral Manager) upon receipt of appropriate indemnification and expense reimbursement.

The Collateral Manager makes no representation, express or implied, with respect to the Issuer or the disclosure with respect to the Issuer.

17.               Observation Rights.

The Issuer covenants and agrees, if requested in writing by the Collateral Manager and to the extent practicable under the circumstances, to notify the Collateral Manager of each meeting of the Board of Directors of the Issuer following the receipt of such request by the Issuer and to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any materials distributed to the Board of Directors in connection with any such meeting and to afford a representative of the Collateral Manager the opportunity to be present at each such meeting, in person or by telephone at the option of the Collateral Manager.

Any party may alter the address, email address or telecopy number to which communications or copies are to be sent by giving notice of such change of address in conformity with the provisions of this Section 18 for the giving of notice.

19.                Binding Nature of Agreement; Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns as provided herein. The Collateral Manager agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be enforceable, at the instance of the Issuer, on behalf of the Issuer by the Trustee under the Indenture, as provided in the Indenture (subject to the rights and defenses of the Collateral Manager and the provisions of Sections 10 and 15 hereunder). The Collateral Manager agrees and consents to the provisions contained in Article XV of the Indenture.

20.                Entire Agreement; Amendments.

This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that any prior agreement concerning the subject matter hereof has been terminated as of the date hereof and is of no further force or effect (except for provisions in such agreement designated to survive termination). (For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that this Agreement does not govern the relationship of ORCA in its capacity as a Holder.) The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

This Agreement may be amended by the parties thereto to (i) correct inconsistencies, typographical or other errors, defects or ambiguities or (ii) conform the Collateral Management Agreement to the Offering Circular, the Collateral Administration Agreement or the Indenture (as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof), in each case without the consent of the holders of any Securities and without satisfaction of the S&P Rating Condition. The Collateral Manager will provide notice to the Rating Agency of any such amendment.

Any other amendment to this Agreement requires the consent of the parties hereto and the approval of a Majority of the Preferred Shares, with at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Trustee (who shall forward such notice to the Controlling Class), the Fiscal Agent and the Rating Agency; provided that any such amendment to this Agreement that would (i) modify the definition of the term Cause, (ii) modify the Base Management Fee, including any component of the Base Management Fee, the method for calculating any component of the Base Management Fee or any definition used in any component of the Base Management Fee or (iii) modify the Class or Classes or the percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of any Class that has the right to remove the Collateral Manager, consent to any assignment of this Agreement or nominate or approve any successor Collateral Manager shall, in each case, also require the approval of a Majority of the Controlling Class and satisfaction of the S&P Rating Condition.

21.              Conflict with the Indenture.

In the event that this Agreement requires any action to be taken with respect to any matter and the Indenture requires that a different action be taken with respect to such matter, and such actions are mutually exclusive, the provisions of the Indenture in respect thereof shall control.

22.              Subordination; Limited Recourse; Non-Petition.

(a)               The Collateral Manager agrees that the payment of all amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement shall be subordinated to the extent set forth in the Indenture, including Article XI thereof.

(b)               Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are, from time to time and at any time, limited recourse obligations of the Issuer, payable solely from the Assets and only to the extent of funds available from time to time and in accordance with the Priority of Payments, and following exhaustion of the Assets, any claims of the Collateral Manager hereunder shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. The Collateral Manager further agrees (i) not to take any action in respect of any claims hereunder against any officer, director, employee, shareholder, noteholder or administrator of the Issuer and (ii) not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer for the nonpayment of the fees or other amounts payable by the Issuer to the Collateral Manager under this Agreement until the payment in full of all Notes issued under the Indenture and the expiration of a period equal to one year and a day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period, following such payment. Nothing in this Section 22 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Collateral Manager (x) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned period in (A) any case or Proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer, or (B) any involuntary insolvency Proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Collateral Manager, or (y) from commencing against the Issuer or any of its properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceeding. The provisions of this Section 22 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

23.              Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

24.              Indulgences Not Waivers.

Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party hereto to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.

25.              Costs and Expenses.

The reasonable costs and expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants) incurred by the Collateral Manager in connection with the negotiation and preparation of and the execution of this Agreement, and all matters incident thereto, shall be borne by the Issuer and, unless paid on the Closing Date or shortly thereafter by ORCC or from the proceeds of the offering of the Securities (to the extent permitted under the Indenture), shall be subject to the Priority of Payments.

26.              Titles Not to Affect Interpretation.

The titles of paragraphs and subparagraphs contained in this Agreement are for convenience only, and they neither form a part of this Agreement nor are they to be used in the construction or interpretation hereof.

27.              Execution in Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, which may be effectively delivered by facsimile or other electronic means or other written form of communication, each of which shall be deemed to be an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as the signatories.

28.              Provisions Separable.

In case any provision in this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as written, such provision shall be construed in the manner most closely resembling the apparent intent of the parties with respect to such provision so as to be valid, legal and enforceable; provided, however, that if there is no basis for such a construction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability and, unless the ineffectiveness of such provision destroys the basis of the bargain for one of the parties to this Agreement, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

29.              Number and Gender.

Words used herein, regardless of the number and gender specifically used, shall be deemed and construed to include any other number, singular or plural, and any other gender, masculine, feminine or neuter, as the context requires.

30.              Jurisdiction and Venue.

The parties to this Agreement irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Securities or the Indenture, and the parties irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state or federal court. The parties to this Agreement irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may legally do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The parties to this Agreement irrevocably consent to the service of any and all process in any action or proceeding by the mailing or delivery of copies of such process to it in accordance with Section 18. The parties agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.
