Reports and Other Information (a) Notwithstanding that the Issuer may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, the Issuer shall file with the SEC (and provide the Trustee and Holders with copies thereof, without cost to each Holder, within 15 days after it files them with the SEC):
(i) within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, annual reports on Form 10-K (or any successor or comparable form) containing the information required to be contained therein (or required in such successor or comparable form),

(iii) promptly from time to time after the occurrence of an event required to be therein reported (and in any event within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations), such other reports on Form 8-K (or any successor or comparable form), and
(iv) any other information, documents and other reports which the Issuer would be required to file with the SEC if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be so obligated to file such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filing, in which event the Issuer shall make available such information to prospective purchasers of Securities, including by posting such reports on the primary website of the Issuer or its Subsidiaries in addition to providing such information to the Trustee and the Holders, in each case within 15 days after the time the Issuer would be required to file such information with the SEC if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to determine whether any filings have been made with the SEC or reports have been posted on such website.
(b) In the event that:
(i) the rules and regulations of the SEC permit the Issuer and any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer to report at such parent entity’s level on a consolidated basis, and
(ii) such parent entity of the Issuer is not engaged in any business in any material respect other than incidental to its ownership, directly or indirectly, of the Capital Stock of the Issuer, such consolidated reporting at such parent entity’s level in a manner consistent with that described in this Section 4.02 for the Issuer shall satisfy this Section 4.02.
(c) The Issuer shall make such information available to prospective investors upon request. In addition, the Issuer shall, for so long as any Securities remain outstanding during any period when it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or otherwise permitted to furnish the SEC with certain information pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) of the Exchange Act, furnish to the Holders and to prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will be deemed to have furnished such reports referred to above to the Trustee and the Holders if the Issuer has filed such reports with the SEC via the EXXXX filing system and such reports are publicly available; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to determine whether or not the Issuer has made such filing.
(a) So long as the Parent Guarantee is in effect, or (b) in the event that any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer is or becomes a guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Issuer may satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.02 with respect to financial information relating to the Issuer by furnishing financial information relating to the Parent Guarantor, or to such direct or indirect parent, as applicable; provided that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to the Parent Guarantor, or to such direct or indirect parent, and any of their respective Subsidiaries other than the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the other Subsidiaries of the Issuer on a standalone basis, on the other hand. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates with respect thereto).
Proxies and Other Materials The Custodian shall cause all proxies relating to Securities which are not registered in the name of the Fund to be promptly executed by the registered holder of such Securities, without indication of the manner in which such proxies are to be voted, and shall promptly deliver to the Trust such proxies, all proxy soliciting materials and all notices relating to such Securities. With respect to the foreign Securities, the Custodian will use reasonable commercial efforts to facilitate the exercise of voting and other shareholder rights, subject to the laws, regulations and practical constraints that may exist in the country where such securities are issued. The Trust acknowledges that local conditions, including lack of regulation, onerous procedural obligations, lack of notice and other factors may have the effect of severely limiting the ability of the Trust to exercise shareholder rights.
Delivery and Other Perfection (a) Within ten (10) days after the acquisition by a Loan Party of any Portfolio Investment constituting part of the Collateral as to which physical possession by the Custodian is required in order for such Portfolio Investment to have been “Delivered”, such Loan Party shall take such actions as shall be necessary to effect Delivery of such Portfolio Investment. As to all other Portfolio Investments constituting part of the Collateral, such Loan Party shall cause the same to be Delivered within five (5) Business Days of the acquisition thereof; provided that it shall not be a violation of this Section 7.01(a) if, at any given time, Portfolio Investments constituting part of the Collateral with an aggregate Market Value of 2% or less of the aggregate Market Value of all Portfolio Investments held by the Loan Parties shall not have been Delivered in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.01(a). In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party shall promptly from time to time give, execute, deliver, file, record, authorize or obtain all such financing statements, continuation statements, notices, instruments, documents, account control agreements or any other agreements or consents or other papers as may be necessary or desirable in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Agent to create, preserve, perfect, maintain the perfection and first priority nature of, or validate the security interests granted pursuant hereto, or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such security interest, and without limiting the foregoing, shall:

(b) Without relieving a Loan Party of its obligations set forth in Section 7.01(a), each Loan Party hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file and refile such financing statements, continuation statements, amendments thereto, notices and other documents or instruments (including this Agreement) (and such financing statements, continuation statements, amendments thereto, notices and other documents or instruments may describe the Collateral as “all assets”, “all personal property” or words of similar effect) in such offices as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Agent in order to perfect and preserve the rights and interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereby, and agrees to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such additional assignments, agreements, powers and instruments, as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines to be necessary to carry into effect the purposes of this Agreement or to better assure and confirm unto the Collateral Agent its rights, powers, privileges and remedies hereunder; provided that the foregoing powers on the part of the Collateral Agent shall not impose any affirmative obligation upon the Collateral Agent.
