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) 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.

All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if such notice is mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, hand delivered, sent by overnight courier service guaranteeing next day delivery or sent by electronic mail or by telecopy (facsimile) in legible form to the address of such party as provided above.

14. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors and assigns of each of the Collateral Manager, the Borrower and the Collateral Administrator; provided, however, that the Collateral Administrator may not assign its rights and obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, except that the Collateral Administrator may delegate to, employ as agent, or otherwise cause any duty or obligation hereunder to be performed by, any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Collateral Administrator or its successors without the prior written consent of the Collateral Manager, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (provided that in such event the Collateral Administrator shall remain responsible for the performance of its duties as the Collateral Administrator hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Administrator consents to the pledge of its rights under this Agreement by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent, as provided in the granting language set forth in Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement.

15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

16. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

17. Conflict with the Credit Agreement. If this Agreement shall require that any action be taken with respect to any matter and the Credit Agreement shall require that a different action be taken with respect to such matter, and such actions shall be mutually exclusive, or if this Agreement should otherwise conflict with the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Administrator shall notify the Collateral Manager and act in accordance with the Collateral Manager’s instructions.

18. Subordination. The Collateral Administrator 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, and the Collateral Administrator agrees to be bound by the provisions of, the Credit Agreement (as if it were a party to the Credit Agreement, in the case of any successor Collateral Administrator that is not also serving as Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement).

19. Survival. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all indemnifications set forth or provided for in this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

20. No Petition in Bankruptcy. The Collateral Administrator agrees not to file or join in the filing of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy against the Borrower for the nonpayment of the Collateral Administrator’s fees or other amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement until the payment in full of all Obligations issued under the Credit Agreement and the expiration of a period equal to one year and one day or, if longer, the applicable preference period under the Bankruptcy Code plus ten (10) days following said payment. The provisions of this Section 20 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

21. Limited Recourse Against Borrower.
