Accounting and Financial Reporting 7.1 The Trustee shall maintain separate records and ledger accounts in respect of the Contributions deposited in the Trust Fund account and disbursements to Partner Entities made therefrom. 7.2 The Trustee shall furnish to the Donors current financial information relating to receipts, disbursements and fund balance in United States dollars of the Trust Fund with respect to the Contributions via the World Bank’s Trust Funds Donor Center secure website. Within six (6) months after all commitments and liabilities under the Trust Fund have been satisfied and the Trust Fund has been closed, the final financial information relating to receipts, disbursements and fund balance in United States dollars of the Trust Fund with respect to the Contributions will be made available to the Donors via the World Bank’s Trust Funds Donor Center secure website. 7.3 The Trustee shall provide to the Donors, within six (6) months following the end of each Trustee fiscal year, an annual single audit report, comprising: (a) a management assertion together with an attestation from the Trustee’s external auditors concerning the adequacy of internal control over cash-based financial reporting for all cash-based trust funds as a whole; and (b) a combined financial statement for all cash-based trust funds together with the Trustee’s external auditor’s opinion thereon. The cost of the single audit shall be borne by the Trustee. 7.4 If a Donor wishes to request, on an exceptional basis, a financial statement audit by the Trustee’s external auditors of the Trust Fund, the Donor and the Trustee shall first consult as to whether such an external audit is necessary. The Trustee and the Donor shall agree on the appropriate scope and terms of reference of such audit. Following agreement on the scope and terms of reference, the Trustee shall arrange for such external audit. The costs of any such audit, including the internal costs of the Trustee with respect to such audit, shall be paid by the requesting Donor. 7.5 The Trustee shall furnish the Steering Committee and each Donor with: (a) copies of all unaudited or audited financial reports; and (b) any other relevant financial information received from the Partner Entities.
Profitability The Board reviewed detailed information regarding revenues received by XXXX under the Agreement. The Board considered the estimated costs to XXXX, and pre-tax profits realized by XXXX, from advising the DWS Funds, as well as estimates of the pre-tax profits attributable to managing the Fund in particular. The Board also received information regarding the estimated enterprise-wide profitability of DIMA and its affiliates with respect to all fund services in totality and by fund. The Board and the Fee Consultant reviewed XXXX’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Fund. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the pre-tax profits realized by XXXX in connection with the management of the Fund were not unreasonable. The Board also reviewed certain publicly available information regarding the profitability of certain similar investment management firms. The Board noted that, while information regarding the profitability of such firms is limited (and in some cases is not necessarily prepared on a comparable basis), DIMA and its affiliates’ overall profitability with respect to the DWS Funds (after taking into account distribution and other services provided to the funds by XXXX and its affiliates) was lower than the overall profitability levels of most comparable firms for which such data was available. Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund and whether the Fund benefits from any economies of scale. The Board noted that the Fund’s investment management fee schedule includes fee breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee schedule represents an appropriate sharing between the Fund and DIMA of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the Fund at current asset levels.
Financial Reporting (i) Borrower shall keep and maintain or shall cause to be kept and maintained on a Fiscal Year basis in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, books, records and accounts reflecting in reasonable detail all of the financial affairs of Borrower and all items of income and expense in connection with the operation of the Mortgaged Property and ownership of the Mortgaged Property and in connection with any services, equipment or furnishings provided in connection with the operation of the Mortgaged Property, whether such income or expense may be realized by Borrower or by any other Person whatsoever.

(vi) Borrower shall furnish to Lender, within fifteen (15) Business Days after request, such further information with respect to the operation of the Mortgaged Property and the financial affairs of Borrower as may be reasonably requested by Lender, including all business plans prepared for Borrower. (vii) Borrower shall furnish to Lender, within fifteen (15) Business Days after request, such further information regarding any Plan or Multiemployer Plan and any reports or other information required to be filed under ERISA as may be reasonably requested by Lender in writing.

Such Operating Budget may allow for a ten percent (10%) line item variance. Until so approved by Lender for the subsequent Fiscal Year in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 5.1(r)(ix) below, the Operating Budget approved by Lender for the preceding Fiscal Year shall remain in effect for purposes of Section 2.12; provided, that for so long as such prior Operating Budget remains in effect, amounts set forth in the prior Operating Budget with respect to Property Expenses shall be deemed increased with respect to actual increases in Basic Carrying Costs and non-discretionary utility expenditures and shall be deemed increased by three percent (3%) with regard to discretionary items. Promptly following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall submit or cause to be submitted to Lender a Working Capital Budget for the remainder of the Fiscal Year during which such Event of Default occurs and by not later than the end of each of Borrower’s Fiscal Years with respect to the subsequent Fiscal Year. (ix) Borrower shall submit any proposed Operating Budget in writing sent by recognized overnight delivery service or by registered or certified mail (and simultaneously shall contact the Lender by telephone and by electronic mail) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “First Notice”), requesting Lender’s approval of such Operating Budget. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrower its written approval or disapproval of the proposed Operating Budget within ten (10) Business Days after Lender shall have received the First Notice. Unless Lender shall have approved the Operating Budget contained in the First Notice, Lender’s approval shall be deemed to be withheld. If Borrower does not receive Lender’s response at the end of such ten (10) Business Days period, Borrower may resubmit its written request to Lender (the “Second Notice”). The Second Notice shall make reference to the First Notice and shall bear the following legend in capital letters: “LENDER’S FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING RECEIPT SHALL BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE LENDER’S CONSENT TO THE OPERATING BUDGET DESCRIBED HEREIN.” If Lender does not approve or disapprove the proposed Operating Budget within ten (10) Business Days after Lender shall have received Borrower’s Second Notice, Lender shall be deemed to have approved the proposed Operating Budget. (x) Together with the financial statements, rent rolls, operating statements and other documents and information provided to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower under this Section, Borrower also shall deliver to Lender a certification in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, executed on behalf of Borrower by its chief executive officer or chief financial officer (or by the individual Guarantor if the Guarantor is an individual) stating that, to such officer’s or individual’s knowledge, such financial statements, rent rolls, operating statements and other documents and information are true and complete in all material respects. (xi) For purposes of this Section 5.1(r), all of the financial reporting requirements may be satisfied by the Borrower posting the required deliveries on a secure website reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and sending to the Lender and its servicer each month an electronic mail communication notifying the Lender and its servicer of the linkage to such website; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Lender includes the Loan in a Secondary Market Transaction in which Securities are issued or otherwise changes the identity of its servicer to a Person other than the initial servicer identified to the Borrower as of the Closing Date, then the Lender may require that such deliveries be made to Lender and its servicer in hard copy and on diskette or through electronic mail (including Microsoft Excel format), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender.
