Limitations on Services (a) Each Service furnished pursuant to this Agreement shall be in all material respects equivalent to and limited to the same type, quality, quantity and timeliness of such service that the Provider provides to its own organization and personnel, and to those of the other members of the Provider's Group. Each party acknowledges that the other may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services if such Provider is making similar changes for itself, any member of its Group, or its respective business. Each party further acknowledges that such Services will be performed by those employees of such Provider who perform similar services for such Provider in the normal course of their employment. Accordingly, except as otherwise agreed upon by the parties, neither party shall be obligated to make available any incremental Services to the extent that doing so would unreasonably interfere with the performance of any employee of such party in connection with his or her responsibilities to the other, require additional staff or otherwise cause an unreasonable burden to the other, any member of the its Group, or their respective business. Each party acknowledges and agrees that duly authorized agents of the other shall have the right to enter their premises to the extent reasonably necessary or convenient to provide the Services.
(b) If a Provider ceases to provide any of the Services to its own business units or if the level of such Services is reduced for any reason, such Provider may also cease to provide or reduce the level of such Services provided to the Recipient under this Agreement. Each party agrees to provide the other as promptly as practicable notice of any substantial change in the level of such Services provided under this Agreement, but in no event shall such Provider provide less than ninety (90) days advance notice of such date of any Service discontinuance.
(c) Neither party shall be required to provide any Service to the extent the performance of such Service becomes "impracticable" as a result of a cause or causes outside the reasonable control of such party, including unfeasible technological requirements, or to the extent the performance of such Services would require such party to violate any applicable laws, rules or regulations or would result in the breach of any license, lease or other applicable contract.

Such duties or obligations shall be the sole responsibility of the Fund.
(b) Puts, Calls and Futures Traded on Commodities Exchanges

(ii) The responsibilities of the Bank as to futures, puts and calls traded on commodities exchanges, any Futures Commission Merchant account and the Segregated Account shall be limited as set forth in subparagraph (a)(ii) of this Section 6.9 as if such subparagraph referred to Futures Commission Merchants rather than brokers, and Futures and puts and calls thereon instead of options.

Upon the request of any Holder in connection with that Holder’s sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

Limitations on Asset Sales The Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale unless:
(1) the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets included in such Asset Sale; and
(2) at least 75% of the total consideration received in such Asset Sale or series of related Asset Sales consists of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of clause (2), the following shall be deemed to be cash:
(a) the amount (without duplication) of any Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary that is expressly assumed by the transferee in such Asset Sale and with respect to which the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is unconditionally released by the holder of such Indebtedness,
(b) the amount of any obligations received from such transferee that are within 60 days converted by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary to cash (to the extent of the cash actually so received), and
(c) the Fair Market Value of any assets (other than securities, unless such securities represent Equity Interests in an entity engaged solely in a Permitted Business, such entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary acquires voting and management control of such entity) received by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary to be used by it in the Permitted Business. If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is repaid or converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then the date of such repayment, conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute the date of an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.09. If the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset Sale, the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary shall, no later than 360 days following the consummation thereof, apply all or any of the Net Available Proceeds therefrom to:
(1) repay any Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities and, in the case of any such Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility, effect a permanent reduction in the availability of such revolving credit facility;
(2) repay any Indebtedness which was secured by the assets sold in such Asset Sale; and/or
(3) invest all or any part of the Net Available Proceeds thereof in the purchase of assets (other than securities, unless such securities represent Equity Interests in an entity engaged solely in a Permitted Business, such entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary acquires voting and management control of such entity) to be used by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in the Permitted Business. The amount of Net Available Proceeds not applied or invested as provided in this paragraph will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $10.0 million, the Issuer shall be required to make an Offer to Purchase from all Holders and, if applicable, redeem (or make an offer to do so) any Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Issuer the provisions of which require the Issuer to redeem such Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Sales (or offer to do so), in an aggregate principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness equal to the amount of such Excess Proceeds as follows:
(1) the Issuer shall (a) make an Offer to Purchase (a “Net Proceeds Offer”) to all Holders, and (b) redeem (or make an offer to do so) any such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, pro rata in proportion to the respective principal amounts of the Notes and such other Indebtedness required to be redeemed, the maximum principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be redeemed out of the amount (the “Payment Amount”) of such Excess Proceeds;
(2) the offer price for the Notes shall be payable in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date such Net Proceeds Offer is consummated (the “Offered Price”), and the redemption price for such Pari Passu Indebtedness (the “Pari Passu Indebtedness Price”) shall be as set forth in the related documentation governing such Indebtedness;
(3) if the aggregate Offered Price of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by Holders thereof exceeds the pro rata portion of the Payment Amount allocable to the Notes, Notes to be purchased shall be selected on a pro rata basis; and
(4) upon completion of such Net Proceeds Offer in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the amount of Excess Proceeds with respect to which such Net Proceeds Offer was made shall be deemed to be zero. To the extent that the sum of the aggregate Offered Price of Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer and the aggregate Pari Passu Indebtedness Price paid to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness is less than the Payment Amount relating thereto (such shortfall constituting a “Net Proceeds Deficiency”), the Issuer may use the Net Proceeds Deficiency, or a portion thereof, for general corporate purposes, subject to the provisions of this Indenture. The Issuer shall comply with applicable tender offer rules, including the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.09, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.09 by virtue of this compliance.
