(ii)

update the Collateral Database periodically to reflect any purchases or sales or other dispositions of Collateral Obligations, in each case such information regarding purchases, sales or other dispositions being based upon information furnished to the Collateral Administrator by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager as may be reasonably required by the Collateral Administrator from time to time;

(c) The Issuer and the Collateral Manager shall cooperate with the Collateral Administrator in connection with the matters described herein, including calculations relating to the Monthly Reports, the Distribution Reports and any Effective Date Report or as otherwise reasonably requested hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Manager shall supply in a timely fashion any determinations, designations, classifications or selections made by it relating to a Collateral Obligation, including in connection with the acquisition or disposition thereof, and any information maintained by it that the Collateral Administrator may from time to time reasonably request with respect to the Assets and reasonably need to complete the reports required to be prepared by the Collateral Administrator hereunder or reasonably required to permit the Collateral Administrator to perform its obligations hereunder.

(d) The Collateral Administrator shall endeavor to deliver a draft of each such Monthly Report, Distribution Report and Effective Date Report to the Collateral Manager on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which such Monthly Report, Distribution Report or Effective Date Report is to be provided by the Issuer (or such later time as reasonably practicable).

The Collateral Manager shall review and verify the contents of the aforesaid reports, and shall thereafter approve the posting or other distribution of such reports on behalf of the Issuer. To the extent any of the information in such reports conflicts with data or calculations in the records of the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager shall notify the Collateral Administrator of such discrepancy and use reasonable efforts to assist the Collateral Administrator in reconciling such discrepancy. Upon reasonable request by the Collateral Administrator, the Collateral Manager further agrees to provide to the Collateral Administrator from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on a timely basis, any information in its possession relating to the Collateral Obligations and any proposed purchases, sales or other dispositions thereof as to enable the Collateral Administrator to perform its duties hereunder.

(g) In accordance with Section 7.16 of the Indenture, the Issuer hereby appoints the Collateral Administrator to act, and the Collateral Administrator hereby accepts and agrees to act in accordance with such appointment, as Calculation Agent in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The Calculation Agent shall be afforded the same rights, protections, immunities and indemnities that are afforded to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent under the Indenture; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to impose upon the Calculation Agent any of the duties or standards of care (including without limitation any duties of a prudent person) of the Trustee.

Section 2A. Information Agent.

(a) In accordance with Section 14.17 of the Indenture, the Issuer hereby appoints the Collateral Administrator to act as the Information Agent and the Collateral Administrator hereby accepts such appointment.

All e-mails sent to the Information Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the Indenture shall only contain the 17g-5 Information and no other information, documents, requests or communications. Each e-mail sent to the Information Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the Indenture failing to be sent to the Information Agent Address or failing to conform to the foregoing requirements of this paragraph shall be deemed incomplete and the Information Agent shall have no obligations with respect thereto.

(b) The Information Agent shall (i) forward, or cause to be forwarded, via e-mail any 17g-5 Information to the 17g-5 Website’s e-mail address at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@00x0.xxx (the “17g-5 Address”) (or such other e-mail address specified by the Issuer in writing to the Information Agent), but only to the extent such 17g-5 Information is received by the Information Agent at the Information Agent Address in accordance herewith and (ii) if requested, approve such 17g-5 Information for posting on the 17g-5 Website upon receipt of an e-mail from the 17g-5 Website (the “Confirmation Email”) at the Information Agent Address requesting that such information be approved for posting; provided, that the Information Agent may determine in its sole discretion to cause the posting of such 17g-5 Information on the 17g-5 Website in such other manner established or approved by the Information Agent and permitted by the 17g-5 Website. The Information Agent will not be responsible or liable for any failure of the 17g-5 Website to receive forwarded emails, provide Confirmation Emails or for the actual posting of such 17g-5 Information after the Information Agent has approved the same for posting.

(c) In the event that the Information Agent encounters a problem when forwarding the 17g-5 Information to the 17g-5 Address or approving the 17g-5 Information upon receipt of a Confirmation Email, the Information Agent’s sole responsibility shall be to attempt to forward and/or approve such 17g-5 Information an additional time. In the event the Information Agent still encounters a problem, it shall provide notice of such failure to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and such other Person, if applicable, that provided the 17g-5 Information to the Information Agent, at which time the Information Agent shall have no further obligations with respect to such 17g-5 Information; provided, however, that the Information Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, attempt to forward any 17g-5 Information to the 17g-5 Address more than twice; provided, further, that the foregoing shall in no way limit the right of the Issuer or the Collateral Manager to direct the Information Agent to resubmit such 17g-5 Information or additional 17g-5 Information at a later time pursuant to Section 2A(b) above. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other document to the contrary, in no event shall the Information Agent be responsible for forwarding any information other than the 17g-5 Information in accordance herewith.

The Information Agent shall approve for posting the 17g-5 Information on the same Business Day of receipt of any Confirmation Email; provided, that such Confirmation Email is received by 12:00 p.m. (eastern time) or, if received after 12:00 p.m. (eastern time), on the next Business Day. The Information Agent’s “approval” of 17g-5 Information for posting is ministerial in nature only, and the Information Agent shall have no obligation or duty to verify, confirm or otherwise determine whether the 17g-5 Information being delivered is accurate, complete, conforms to the terms of the Indenture or related transaction, conforms to the requirements of Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act or otherwise is or is not anything other than what it purports to be. In the event that any 17g-5 Information is delivered or posted in error, the Information Agent may remove such information from the 17g-5 Website. The Collateral Administrator and the Information Agent have not obtained and shall not be deemed to have obtained actual knowledge of any 17g-5 Information merely by posting such information to the 17g-5 Website to the extent such information was not produced by the Collateral Administrator or the Information Agent, as applicable. Neither the Information Agent nor the Collateral Administrator shall have any obligation to engage in or respond to any oral communications with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, any transaction documents relating hereto or in any way relating to the Debt or for the purposes of determining the initial credit rating of the Debt or undertaking credit rating surveillance of the Debt with any Rating Agency or any of its respective officers, directors or employees. Neither the Information Agent nor the Collateral Administrator will be responsible for maintaining the 17g-5 Website or assuring that the 17g-5 Website complies with the requirements of this Agreement, Rule 17g-5 or any other law or regulation.

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 (except to the extent that such action is caused by the Collateral Administrator’s own willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties hereunder), 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.

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, even if the Collateral Administrator has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of the form of such action. It is expressly acknowledged by the Issuer 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, in part, be based upon, and in reliance upon, data and information provided to it by the Collateral Manager, the Issuer, the related Obligor (or agent, trustee or other similar party on behalf of such Obligor) or other reputable financial reporting sources with respect to each Asset. Notwithstanding anything herein and without limiting the generality of any terms of this Section 4, the Collateral Administrator shall not have any liability to the extent of any expense, loss, damage, demand, charge or claim resulting from or caused by events or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of such party including, without limitation, the interruption, suspension or restriction of trading on or the closure of any securities markets, power or other mechanical or technological failures or interruptions, computer viruses, communications disruptions, work stoppages, natural disasters, fire, war, terrorism, riots, rebellions, or other similar acts.

Section 20. Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any party or any circumstance, is held to be unenforceable, invalid or illegal (in whole or in part) for any reason (in any jurisdiction), the remaining terms of this Agreement, modified by the deletion of the unenforceable, invalid or illegal portion (in any relevant jurisdiction), will continue in full force and effect, and such unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality will not otherwise affect the enforceability, validity or legality of the remaining terms of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement will not substantially impair the respective expectations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Collateral Administration Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the date and year first above written.
