WHEREAS, the Borrower wishes to engage BNYM to act as Collateral Administrator to perform certain administrative duties with respect to the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, BNYM is prepared to perform as Collateral Administrator certain specified obligations of the Borrower, or the Collateral Manager, on its behalf, under the Credit Agreement (and certain other services) as specified herein, upon and subject to the terms of this Agreement (but without assuming the obligations or liabilities of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager under the Credit Agreement);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement. The rules of construction set forth in Section 1.02 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Agreement as if fully set forth herein.

2. Powers and Duties of Collateral Administrator.

(a) The Borrower hereby appoints BNYM as, and BNYM hereby accepts the appointment to act as, the Collateral Administrator pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, until the earlier to occur of (i) BNYM’s resignation or removal as the Collateral Administrator pursuant to Section 7 hereof and (ii) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6 hereof. In such capacity, the Collateral Administrator shall assist the Borrower and the Collateral Manager in connection with maintaining a database of certain characteristics with respect to the Collateral on an ongoing basis as provided herein and in providing to the Borrower and the Collateral Manager certain reports, schedules and calculations, all as more particularly described in Section 2(b) below (in each case, such reports, schedules and calculations shall be prepared in such form and content, and in such greater detail, as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto from time to time and as may be required by the Credit Agreement) based upon information and data received from the Borrower and/or the Collateral Manager, as required to be prepared and delivered (or which are necessary to be prepared and delivered in order that certain other reports, schedules and calculations can be prepared and delivered) under Article VIII of the Credit Agreement. BNYM’s duties and authority to act as Collateral Administrator hereunder are limited to the duties and authority specifically set forth in this Agreement. By entering into, or performing its duties under, this Agreement, the Collateral Administrator shall not be deemed to assume any obligations or liabilities of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager under the Credit Agreement or any other Facility Document, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to release, terminate, discharge, limit, reduce, diminish, modify, amend or otherwise alter in any respect the duties, obligations or Liabilities of the Borrower or the Collateral Manager under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any other Facility Document.

(b) The Collateral Administrator shall perform the following general functions from time to time:

(c) The Borrower and the Collateral Manager shall cooperate with the Collateral Administrator in connection with the matters described herein, including calculations and information relating to the Monthly Reports and the Payment Date Reports or as otherwise reasonably requested hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Manager shall advise in a timely manner the Collateral Administrator of the results of any determinations required or permitted to be made by it or the Borrower (or Collateral Manager on its behalf) under the Credit Agreement and supply the Collateral Administrator with such other information as is maintained by the Collateral Manager that the Collateral Administrator may from time to time request with respect to the Collateral and reasonably needed to complete the reports and certificates required to be prepared by the Collateral Administrator hereunder or required to permit the Collateral Administrator to perform its obligations hereunder (including determinations of Market Value, Aggregate Principal Balance, Concentration Limitations and the Borrowing Base, as applicable) and any other information that may be reasonably required under the Credit Agreement with respect to a Collateral Loan (including as to its designation as a Covenant Lite Loan, Revolving Collateral Loan, Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loan, Defaulted Collateral Loan, DIP Collateral Loan, Noteless Loan, PIK Loan, Partial PIK Loan, Credit Risk Collateral Loan, CCC Collateral Loan, Eligible Loan, Ineligible Collateral Loan, Equity Security, First Lien Obligation, Second Lien Obligation, Floor Obligation, Specified Eligible Investment, Structured Finance Obligation, Certificated Security or Uncertificated Security). Nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Administrator to determine independently the correct characterization or categorization of any item of Collateral under the Credit Agreement (it being understood that any such characterization or categorization shall be based exclusively upon the determination and notification received by the Collateral Administrator from the Collateral Manager). The Collateral Manager shall review and verify the contents of the aforesaid reports. To the extent any of the information in such reports, instructions or certificates conflicts with information, data or calculations in the records of the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager shall notify the Collateral Administrator of such discrepancy and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Collateral Administrator in reconciling such discrepancy. The Collateral Manager further agrees to send such reports, instructions, statements and certificates to the Borrower for execution. In addition, the Collateral Manager shall provide prompt notice to the Collateral Administrator upon the Collateral Manager’s obtaining knowledge of a Collateral Loan becoming a Defaulted Collateral Loan.

(d) If, in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Collateral Administrator is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Collateral Administrator may request written instructions from the Borrower or the Collateral Manager acting on behalf of the Borrower as to the course of action desired by it. If the Collateral Administrator does not receive such instructions within two (2) Business Days after it has requested them, the Collateral Administrator may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action. The Collateral Administrator shall act in accordance with instructions received after such two (2) Business Day period except to the extent it has already taken, or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions. The Collateral Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the advice of legal counsel and independent accountants in performing its duties hereunder and shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if it acts in accordance with such advice.

(e) The Collateral Administrator shall have no obligation to determine the Market Value or the price of any Collateral in connection with any actions or duties under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall prevent the Collateral Administrator or any of its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or from rendering services of any kind to any Person.

3. Compensation. The Borrower agrees to pay, and the Collateral Administrator shall be entitled to receive, compensation for, and reimbursement for all expenses in connection with, the Collateral Administrator’s performance of the duties called for herein and as provided in the Collateral Agent Fee Letter; provided that such amounts will be payable solely from and pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

4. Limitation of Responsibility of the Collateral Administrator; Indemnification.

(a) The Collateral Administrator will have no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services expressly called for hereunder in good faith and without willful misconduct or gross negligence of its duties hereunder. The Collateral Administrator shall incur no liability to anyone in acting upon any signature, instrument, statement, notice, resolution, request, direction, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine and reasonably believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Collateral Administrator may exercise any of its rights or powers hereunder or perform any of its duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, and the Collateral Administrator shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent (other than an Affiliate of the Collateral Administrator) or attorney appointed hereunder with due care by it. Neither the Collateral Administrator nor any of its affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees will be liable to any other parties hereto, the Borrower, the Collateral Manager or any other Person, except by reason of acts or omissions by the Collateral Administrator constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Collateral Administrator’s duties hereunder. The Collateral Administrator shall in no event have any liability for the actions or omissions of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Custodian (but only if not the same Person as the Collateral Administrator) or any other Person, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in any duty performed by it that results from or is caused by inaccurate, untimely or incomplete information or data received by it from the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Custodian (but only if not the same Person as the Collateral Administrator) or another Person except to the extent that such inaccuracies or errors are caused by the Collateral Administrator’s own bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties hereunder. The Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for failing to perform or any delay in performing its specified duties hereunder which results from or is caused by a failure or delay on the part of the Borrower, the Collateral Manager, the Custodian (but only if not the same Person as the Collateral Administrator) or any other Person in furnishing necessary, timely and accurate information to the Collateral Administrator. The duties and obligations of the Collateral Administrator and its employees or agents shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement and they shall not be under any obligation or duty except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth herein, and no implied covenants shall be read into this Agreement against them.

(b) The Collateral Administrator may rely conclusively on any notice, certificate or other document (including telecopier or other electronically transmitted instructions, documents or information) furnished to it hereunder and reasonably believed by it in good faith to be genuine. The Collateral Administrator shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the discretion or powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed hereunder, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action. The Collateral Administrator shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any certificate, report or other document; provided, however, that, if the form thereof is prescribed by this Agreement, the Collateral Administrator shall examine the same to determine whether it conforms on its face to the requirements hereof. The Collateral Administrator shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of any matter unless actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Administrator responsible for the administration of this Agreement. Under no circumstances shall the Collateral Administrator be liable for indirect, punitive, special or consequential damages under or pursuant to this Agreement, its duties or obligations hereunder or arising out of or relating to the subject matter hereof. It is expressly acknowledged by the Borrower and the Collateral Manager that application and performance by the Collateral Administrator of its various duties hereunder (including recalculations to be performed in respect of the matters contemplated hereby) shall be based upon, and in reliance upon, data and information provided to it by the Collateral Manager (and/or the Borrower) with respect to the Collateral, and the Collateral Administrator shall have no responsibility for the accuracy of any such information or data provided to it by such Persons. Nothing herein shall impose or imply any duty or obligation on the part of the Collateral Administrator to verify, investigate or audit any such information or data, or to determine or monitor on an independent basis whether any obligor under the Collateral is in default or in compliance with the underlying documents governing or securing such securities, from time to time, the role of the Collateral Administrator hereunder being solely to perform certain mathematical computations and data comparisons and to provide certain reports and other deliveries, as provided herein. For purposes of monitoring changes in ratings, the Collateral Administrator shall be entitled to use and rely (in good faith) exclusively upon one or more reputable electronic financial information reporting services, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracies in the information reported by, or other errors or omissions of, any such services.

(c) The Borrower shall, and hereby agrees to, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Administrator and its affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, agents and employees for and from any and all losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges, costs, expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and other experts) and claims of any nature in respect of, or arising from any acts or omissions performed or omitted by the Collateral Administrator, its affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees pursuant to or in connection with the terms of this Agreement, or in the performance or observance of its duties or obligations under this Agreement; provided the same are in good faith and without willful misconduct and/or gross negligence on the part of the Collateral Administrator. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 4(c) shall be payable only in accordance with the order specified in the priorities set forth in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement and shall survive the termination of this Agreement and any earlier resignation or removal of the Collateral Administrator.

(d) Nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Administrator to determine independently any characteristic of a Collateral Loan, or to evaluate or verify the Collateral Manager’s characterization of any Collateral Loan, including whether any item of Collateral is a Covenant Lite Loan, Revolving Collateral Loan, Delayed Drawdown Collateral Loan, Defaulted Collateral Loan, DIP Collateral Loan, Noteless Loan, PIK Loan, Partial PIK Loan, Credit Risk Collateral Loan, CCC Collateral Loan, Eligible Loan, Ineligible Collateral Loan, Equity Security, First Lien Obligation, Second Lien Obligation, Floor Obligation, Specified Eligible Investment, Structured Finance Obligation, Certificated Security or Uncertificated Security, any such determination being based exclusively upon notification the Collateral Administrator receives from the Collateral Manager or from (or in its capacity as) the Collateral Agent (based upon notices received by the Collateral Agent from the obligor, trustee or agent bank under an underlying governing document, or similar source) and nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Administrator to review or examine any underlying instrument or contract evidencing, governing or guaranteeing or securing any Collateral Loan in order to verify, confirm, audit or otherwise determine any characteristic thereof.

(e) Without limiting the generality of any terms of this Section 4, the Collateral Administrator shall have no liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of the Collateral Manager or the Borrower or the Collateral Agent, if not the same Person as the Collateral Administrator, to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to the Collateral Administrator, or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on the Collateral Administrator’s part of any of its duties hereunder that is caused by or results from any such inaccurate, incomplete or untimely information received by it, or other failure on the part of any such other party to comply with the terms hereof.

5. No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement (a) shall constitute the Borrower, the Collateral Administrator and the Collateral Manager as members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate entity, (b) shall be construed to impose any liability as such on any of them or (c) shall be deemed to confer on any of them any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of the others.

6. Term. This Agreement shall continue in effect so long as the Credit Agreement remains in effect with respect to the Obligations, unless this Agreement has been previously terminated in accordance with Section 7 hereof.

7. Termination.

If at any time, prior to payment in full of all Obligations, the Collateral Administrator shall resign or be removed as Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement, such resignation or removal shall be deemed a resignation or removal of the Collateral Administrator hereunder.

(b) At the option of the Borrower (with the prior written consent or at the direction of the Administrative Agent), this Agreement may be terminated upon ten (10) days’ written notice of termination from the Borrower (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Borrower) to the Collateral Administrator if any of the following events shall occur:

Upon any resignation or removal of the Collateral Administrator hereunder, the Borrower shall promptly, and in any case within thirty (30) days after the related notice of resignation or removal, appoint a qualified successor consented to by the Administrative Agent to act as collateral administrator hereunder and cause such successor collateral administrator to execute and deliver an agreement accepting such appointment as described in the preceding sentence. If the Borrower fails to appoint such a qualified successor which duly accepts its appointment by properly executing and delivering such an agreement within such time, the retiring Collateral Administrator shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor to serve as collateral administrator hereunder and shall be indemnified pursuant to Section 4(c) for the reasonable costs and expenses thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Administrator may resign its duties hereunder without any requirement that a successor collateral administrator be obligated hereunder and without any liability for further performance of any duties hereunder (i) immediately upon the termination (whether by resignation or removal) of BNYM as Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement, or (ii) upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Collateral Manager and the Administrative Agent upon any reasonable determination by BNYM that the taking of any action, or performance of any duty, on its part as the Collateral Administrator pursuant to the terms of this Agreement would be in conflict with or in violation of its duties or obligations as the Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement or (iii) upon at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of termination to the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the following events and the failure to cure such event within such sixty (60) day notice period: (A) failure of the Borrower to pay any of the amounts specified in Section 3 hereof within sixty (60) days after such amount is due pursuant to Section 3 hereof (to the extent not already paid to the Collateral Administrator pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement) or (B) failure of the Borrower to provide any indemnity payment to Collateral Administrator pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as the case may be, within sixty (60) days of the receipt by the Borrower of the written request for such payment or reimbursement (to the extent not already paid to the Collateral Administrator pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement).

(e) Any corporation into which the Collateral Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Administrator shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Collateral Administrator, shall be the successor of the Collateral Administrator hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

The provisions of this Section 20 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

21. Limited Recourse Against Borrower.
