Distributions to Record Holders (a) Subject to the applicable provisions of the Delaware Act and except as otherwise provided herein, the Manager may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, declare, make and pay distributions of cash or other assets of the Company to the Members. Subject to the terms of any Share Designation (including, without limitation, the preferential rights, if any, of holders of any other class of Shares of the Company) and of Article XIII, distributions shall be paid to the holders of Common Shares on an equal per-Share basis as of the Record Date selected by the Manager. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to make a distribution to any Member on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution would violate the Delaware Act or other applicable law. (b) Notwithstanding Section 4.1(a), in the event of the termination and liquidation of the Company, all distributions shall be made in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 8.3(a). (c) Each distribution in respect of any Shares of the Company shall be paid by the Company, directly or through its Transfer Agent, if any, or through any other Person or agent, only to the Record Holder of such Shares as of the Record Date set for such distribution. Such payment shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the Company’s liability in respect of such payment, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such payment by reason of an assignment or otherwise.
Transition to Retirement 24.1 An Employee may advise their Employer in writing of their intention to retire within the next five years and participate in a retirement transition arrangement. 24.2 Transition to retirement arrangements may be proposed and, where agreed, implemented as: (a) a flexible working arrangement (see clause 16 (Flexible Working Arrangements)); (b) in writing between the parties; or (c) any combination of the above. 24.3 A transition to retirement arrangement may include but is not limited to: (a) a reduction in their EFT; (b) a job share arrangement; or (c) working in a position at a lower classification or rate of pay. 24.4 The Employer will consider, and not unreasonably refuse, a request by an Employee who wishes to transition to retirement: (a) to use accrued Long Service Leave (LSL) or Annual Leave for the purpose of reducing the number of days worked per week while retaining their previous employment status; or (b) to be appointed to a role which that has a lower hourly rate of pay or hours (post transition role), in which case: (i) the Employer will preserve the accrual of LSL at the time of reduction in salary or hours; and (ii) where LSL is taken or paid out in lieu on termination, the Employee will be paid LSL hours at the applicable classification and grade, and at the preserved hours, prior to the post transition role until the preserved LSL hours are exhausted.
Obligations and Compensation of Dealer Manager 3.1. The Company hereby appoints the Dealer Manager as its agent and principal distributor for the purpose of selling for cash up to a maximum of $2,975,000,000 in Shares (or such other amount as the Company allocates to the primary Offering of Shares as described in the first paragraph of this Agreement) through the dealers selected to participate in the distribution of Shares in the Offering who have executed Selected Dealer Agreements with the Dealer Manager (each, a “Dealer” and, collectively, the “Dealers”), all of whom shall be members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). The Dealer Manager may also sell Shares for cash directly to its own clients and customers at the public offering price and subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Prospectus. The Dealer Manager hereby accepts such agency and distributorship and agrees to use its best efforts to sell the Shares on said terms and conditions. The Dealer Manager represents to the Company that (i) it is a member of FINRA; (ii) it and its employees and representatives have all required licenses and registrations to act under this Agreement; and (iii) it has established and implemented anti-money laundering compliance programs in accordance with applicable law, including applicable FINRA rules, SEC rules, and the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, reasonably designed to detect and cause the reporting of suspicious transactions in connection with the sale of Shares of the Company. 3.2. The Dealer Manager and the Dealers shall commence the offering of the Shares for cash to the public only in jurisdictions in which the Shares are registered or qualified for sale or in which such offering is otherwise permitted. The Dealer Manager and the Dealers will suspend or terminate offering of the Shares upon request of the Company at any time and will resume offering the Shares upon subsequent request of the Company. 3.3. Except as provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, as compensation for the services rendered by the Dealer Manager, the Company agrees that it will pay to the Dealer Manager selling commissions in the amount of 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Class A Shares sold and 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Class T Shares sold, plus a dealer manager fee in the amount of 2.0% of the gross proceeds of the Shares sold to the public; provided, however, that there shall be no selling commissions and no dealer manager fees paid for sales of Shares under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. In addition, the Company agrees that it will pay to the Dealer Manager a monthly distribution and stockholder servicing fee that will accrue daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 0.8% of the Company’s per share NAV of Class T Shares sold, excluding Class T Shares sold pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan. The Company will cease paying the distribution and stockholder servicing fee with respect to Class T Shares sold in the Offering at the earliest of (i) the end of the month in which the transfer agent, on behalf of the Company, determines that total selling commissions and distribution and stockholder servicing fees paid by a stockholder within his or her individual account would be equal to 7.0% of the stockholder’s total gross investment amount at the time of the purchase of the primary Class T shares held in such account; (ii) the date on which the aggregate underwriting compensation from all sources equals 10.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Shares, excluding Shares sold pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan; (iii) the fifth anniversary of the last day of the month in which the Offering (excluding the offering of shares pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan offering) terminates; (iv) the date such Class T share is no longer outstanding; and (v) the date the Company effects a liquidity event. The distribution and stockholder servicing fee relates to the share or shares sold. Payments to the Dealer Manager shall be made by the end of the week following the week in which Shares are sold by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Dealer Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Dealer Manager will reallow all of the selling commissions to Dealers. The Dealer Manager also may reallow all or a portion of the dealer manager fee and the distribution and stockholder servicing fee to Dealers; provided, however, that with respect to any individual investment, the Dealer Manager will not re-allow the related distribution and stockholder servicing fee to a Dealer if such Dealer ceases to hold the account related to such investment. In addition, the Dealer Manager will not reallow the distribution and stockholder servicing fee to any Dealer if such Dealer has not executed a Participating Dealer Agreement with the Dealer Manager or if the Dealer’s previously executed Selected Dealer Agreement with the Dealer Manager is terminated. In any instance in which the Dealer Manager does not re-allow the distribution and stockholder servicing fee to a Dealer, the Dealer Manager will return such fee to the Company. If, for any reason, a sale is cancelled or rescinded, the Dealer Manager shall return to the Company the selling commission, the dealer manager fee and the distribution and stockholder servicing fee paid to it with respect to such sale. The Company will not be liable or responsible to any Dealer for direct payment of commissions to such Dealer, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer Manager to make payment of commissions to Dealers. Notwithstanding the above, at its discretion, the Company may act as agent of the Dealer Manager by making direct payment of commissions to such Dealers without incurring any liability therefore. 3.4. The Dealer Manager shall use and distribute, in conjunction with the offer and sale of any Shares, only the Prospectus and such sales literature and advertising as shall have been previously approved in writing by the Company. 3.5. The Dealer Manager acknowledges that the Company may reimburse its advisor for underwriting expenses not covered by the selling commissions, dealer manager fee and distribution and stockholder servicing fee set forth in Section 3.3, but only to the extent that the total of such reimbursements for underwriting expenses and the selling commissions, dealer manager fee and distribution and stockholder servicing fee set forth in Section 3.3 is no more than 10.0% of the gross offering proceeds of the Shares sold in the Offering, excluding proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan. In no event will total underwriting compensation exceed 10.0% of the gross proceeds of the Shares sold in the Offering, excluding proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan.
Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement except for Section 27, to the extent that Indemnitee was or is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding, the Company also shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses reasonably incurred in connection with a claim, issue or matter related to any claim, issue, or matter on which Indemnitee was successful. For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

As used in this Agreement, “Virtual Foreign Exchange Traffic” or “V/FX Traffic” is defined as calls in which an Onvoy Customer is assigned a telephone number with an NXX Code (as set forth in the LERG) associated with an exchange that is different than the exchange (as set forth in the LERG) associated with the actual physical location of such Customer’s station. For the avoidance of any doubt, Onvoy shall pay Frontier’s originating access charges for all V/FX Traffic originated by a Frontier Customer, and Onvoy shall pay Frontier’s terminating access charges for all V/FX Traffic originated by an Onvoy Customer.
Non-Duplication of Payment or Benefits For purposes of clarity, in the event of a Qualifying Pre-CIC Termination, any severance payments and benefits to be provided to the Executive under Section 3(b) will be reduced by any amounts that already were provided to the Executive under Section 3(a). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is entitled to any cash severance, continued health coverage benefits, or vesting acceleration of any equity awards (other than under this Agreement) by operation of applicable law or under a plan, policy, contract, or arrangement sponsored by or to which any member of the Company Group is a party (“Other Benefits”), then the corresponding severance payments and benefits under this Agreement will be reduced by the amount of Other Benefits paid or provided to the Executive.
Compensation of Executive (a) The Corporation shall pay the Executive as compensation for his services hereunder, in equal semi-monthly or bi-weekly installments during the Term, the sum of $350,000 per annum (as in effect from time to time, the “Base Salary”), less such deductions as shall be required to be withheld by applicable law and regulations. The Corporation shall review the Base Salary on an annual basis and has the right but not the obligation to increase it, but has no right to decrease the Base Salary. (b) In addition to the Base Salary set forth in Section 4(a) above, the Executive shall be entitled to receive an annual cash bonus (“Annual Bonus”) in an amount up to $100,000 if the Corporation meets or exceeds criteria adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) for earning Bonuses, which criteria shall be adopted by the Compensation Committee annually after consultation with the Executive and which criteria must be reasonably likely to be attainable. Annual Bonuses shall be paid by the Corporation to the Executive promptly after the year end, it being understood that the Compensation Committee’s determinations concerning attainment of any financial targets associated with any bonus determination shall not be determined until following the completion of the Corporation’s annual audit, if any, but in no event later than April 15th of the year following the year for which it is being paid (and if the Executive was employed as of last day of the calendar year to which such Annual Bonus relates, then the Executive shall be entitled to the Annual Bonus for such year, even if he is not employed by the Corporation on the date the Annual Bonus is paid for such last year). The Compensation Committee may provide for lesser or greater percentage Annual Bonus payments for Executive upon achievement of partial or additional criteria established or determined by the Compensation Committee from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, if Executive is employed upon expiration of the term of this Agreement, he shall be entitled to the Annual Bonus for such last year on a pro-rata basis through the last date of employment, even if he is not employed by the Corporation on the date the Annual Bonus is paid for such last year. In his sole discretion, the Executive may elect to receive such annual bonus in common stock of the Corporation at the basis determined by the Compensation Committee in good faith. (c) The Corporation shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred or paid by the Executive in the course of his employment, consistent with the Corporation’s policy for reimbursement of expenses from time to time. (d) The Executive shall be entitled to participate in such pension, profit sharing, group insurance, hospitalization, and group health and benefit plans and all other benefits and plans, including perquisites, if any, as the Corporation provides to its senior executives, including group family health insurance coverage, which shall be paid by the Corporation (the “Benefit Plans”). If at any time during the Term, the Corporation does not provide its senior executives with health insurance (including hospitalization) under a Benefit Plan, Executive shall be entitled to secure such health insurance for himself and his immediate family (i.e., spouse and natural born children) and the Corporation shall reimburse Executive for the cost of such insurance promptly after payment by the Executive for such insurance. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive shall be entitled to secure health insurance from high quality companies such as Blue Cross/Blue Shield, United, or Emblem, and the ability to select a no or low deductible plan. If Executive secures such health insurance, such health insurance shall be deemed to be a Benefit Plan hereunder. (e) The Corporation shall execute and deliver in favor of the Executive an indemnification agreement on the same terms and conditions entered into with the other officers and directors of the Corporation. Such agreement shall provide for the indemnification of the Executive for the term of his employment and for a period of at least six (6) years thereafter. The Corporation shall maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance during the Term and for a period of at least six (6) years thereafter. (f) The Corporation shall also maintain (or hire, if applicable) a New York City based executive assistant to assist the Executive with his duties.
