Related to Rules Relating to Managers

• Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts (a) If any Affected Person requests compensation under Section 5.01, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Affected Person or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Affected Person pursuant to Section 5.03, then such Affected Person shall (at the request of the Borrower) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the related Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate (or cause to be assigned and delegated) such Affected Person’s rights and obligations hereunder to another office, branch or Affiliate of such Affected Person if, in the judgment of such Affected Person, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.03, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Affected Person to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Affected Person. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Affected Person in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation. (b) If (i) any Affected Person requests compensation under Section 5.01, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Affected Person or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Affected Person pursuant to Section 5.03, (iii) any Affected Person has become a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any Affected Person has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that requires the consent of all Lenders and with respect to which the other Lenders shall have or would have granted their consent, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, require the Administrative Agent to cause the related Affected Person to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to all applicable transfer restrictions), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to another appropriate Person (which, in the case of a Lender, shall be an Eligible Assignee) that shall acquire such interest or assume such commitment; provided that (a) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (b) such Affected Person, if a Lender, shall have received payment of an amount equal to its outstanding Capital and, if applicable, accrued Interest and Fees thereon and all other amounts then owing to it hereunder from the assignee or the Borrower, (c) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.03, such assignment is expected to result in a reduction in such compensation or payments for future periods and (d) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the failure of an Affected Person to provide a consent, the assignee shall have given such consent and, as a result of such assignment and delegation and any contemporaneous assignments and delegations and consents, the applicable amendment, waiver, discharge or termination can be effected. An Affected Person shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Affected Person or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply.

• Procedures Relating to Indemnification (a) In order for an Indemnitee to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Separation Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any person who is not an Indemnitee against such Indemnitee (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnitee must notify the party who may become obligated to provide indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim reasonably promptly, and in any event within 10 Business Days after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced in its ability to successfully defend the matter giving rise to such claim as a result of such failure. After any required notification (if applicable), the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim. (b) If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party), with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof solely to assert any additional defenses and to employ counsel, at its own expense, except as set forth below, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnitee shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (and shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnitee in defending such Third Party Claim, except for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee) if the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnitee which the Indemnitee reasonably determines, after conferring with its counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. If such equitable or other relief portion of the Third Party Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages. (c) The indemnification required by Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be, shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or the Indemnifiable Loss is incurred. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim (i) all the parties hereto reasonably necessary or appropriate for such defense or prosecution shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof, which cooperation shall include the retention in accordance with this Separation Agreement and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and in such party’s control, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably informed of all significant developments in connection with the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim and (iii) the Indemnitee will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party may recommend (after representing to the Indemnitee that such settlement is reasonably likely to be acceptable to the parties to the Third Party Claim) and which by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of liability in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that, without the Indemnitee’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (x) that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnitee or its properties or (y) that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability with respect to such claim; provided, further, however, that if the Indemnitee does not consent to any settlement recommended by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to subclause (iii) above (after representing to the Indemnitee that such settlement is reasonably likely to be acceptable to the parties to the Third Party Claim) then the Indemnifying Party (1) shall not in any event be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee, or otherwise be responsible, for any amount in excess of the amount of the settlement so recommended by the Indemnifying Party and (2) shall be entitled to reimbursement of the fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnifying Party after the date on which the recommendation was made to the Indemnitee in the event the final and unappealable judgment in such Third Party Claim exceeds the amount of the settlement so recommended. If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying Party does not or is not entitled to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee may defend the same in such manner as it may deem appropriate; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. (d) In order for an Indemnitee to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Separation Agreement in respect of a claim that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall deliver notice of such claim (in reasonably sufficient detail to enable the Indemnifying Party to evaluate such claim) with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any Indemnitee to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced in its ability to successfully defend the matter giving rise to such claim as a result of such failure. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnitee within 20 Business Days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such claim under Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be, the claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnitee on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, as provided above, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 7.11.

• Definitions of Key Terms Relating to Additional Rent As used in this Article 4, the following terms shall have the meanings hereinafter set forth:

• Covenants Relating to Rule 144 For so long as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15 of the Securities Act, the Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder. If the Company ceases to be so required to file such reports, the Company covenants that it will upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities (a) make publicly available such information as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (b) deliver such information to a prospective purchaser as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and it will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, and (c) take such further action that is reasonable in the circumstances, in each case, to the extent required, from time to time, to enable such Holder to sell its Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, (ii) Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or (iii) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act), a copy of the most recent annual and quarterly report(s) of the Company, and such other reports, documents or stockholder communications of the Company, and take such further actions consistent with this Section 8(a), as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing a Holder to sell any such Registrable Securities without registration.

• OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES

• Certain Matters Relating to the Determination of LIBOR LIBOR shall be calculated by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the definition of LIBOR. Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Securities Administrator will at all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of determining LIBOR with respect to each LIBOR Determination Date. The Securities Administrator initially shall designate the Reference Banks (after consultation with the Depositor). Each “Reference Bank” shall be a leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be under common control with, the Securities Administrator and shall have an established place of business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable to act as such or if the Securities Administrator should terminate its appointment as Reference Bank, the Securities Administrator shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference Bank (after consultation with the Depositor). The Securities Administrator shall have no liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank for purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least four Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control. The Interest Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Securities Administrator on each LIBOR Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are outstanding on the basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement. The Securities Administrator shall not have any liability or responsibility to any Person for its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain quotations from the Reference Banks or to determine the arithmetic mean referred to in the definition of LIBOR, all as provided for in this Section 4.04 and the definition of LIBOR. The establishment of LIBOR and each Interest Rate for the LIBOR Certificates by the Securities Administrator shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.

• COMMUNICATIONS RELATING TO FOREIGN SECURITIES The Custodian shall transmit promptly to the Fund written information with respect to materials received by the Custodian via the Foreign Sub-Custodians from issuers of the foreign securities being held for the account of the Portfolios (including, without limitation, pendency of calls and maturities of foreign securities and expirations of rights in connection therewith). With respect to tender or exchange offers, the Custodian shall transmit promptly to the Fund written information with respect to materials so received by the Custodian from issuers of the foreign securities whose tender or exchange is sought or from the party (or its agents) making the tender or exchange offer. The Custodian shall not be liable for any untimely exercise of any tender, exchange or other right or power in connection with foreign securities or other property of the Portfolios at any time held by it unless (i) the Custodian or the respective Foreign Sub-Custodian is in actual possession of such foreign securities or property and (ii) the Custodian receives Proper Instructions with regard to the exercise of any such right or power, and both (i) and (ii) occur at least three business days prior to the date on which the Custodian is to take action to exercise such right or power.

• General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon the Company's order or at the Registrar's request.

• Remedies Relating to Accounts Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, whether or not the Administrative Agent has exercised any or all of its rights and remedies hereunder, (i) each Grantor will promptly upon request of the Administrative Agent instruct all account debtors to remit all payments in respect of Accounts to a mailing location selected by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to enforce any Grantor’s rights against its customers and account debtors, and the Administrative Agent or its designee may notify any Grantor’s customers and account debtors that the Accounts of such Grantor have been assigned to the Administrative Agent or of the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein, and may (either in its own name or in the name of a Grantor or both) demand, collect (including without limitation by way of a lockbox arrangement), receive, take receipt for, sell, xxx for, compound, settle, compromise and give acquittance for any and all amounts due or to become due on any Account, and, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, file any claim or take any other action or proceeding to protect and realize upon the security interest of the holders of the Secured Obligations in the Accounts. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the Proceeds of its Accounts remitted to or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be solely for the Administrative Agent’s own convenience and that such Grantor shall not have any right, title or interest in such Accounts or in any such other amounts except as expressly provided herein. The Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations shall have no liability or responsibility to any Grantor for acceptance of a check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend “payment in full” or words of similar import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement or be responsible for determining the correctness of any remittance. Each Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured Obligations from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, actions, claims, judgments, costs, expenses, charges and reasonable attorneys’ fees suffered or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations (each, an “Indemnified Party”) because of the maintenance of the foregoing arrangements except as relating to or arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party or its officers, employees or agents. In the case of any investigation, litigation or other proceeding, the foregoing indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Grantor, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any other Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto.

• Special Provisions Relating to Euro Each obligation hereunder of any party hereto that is denominated in the National Currency of a state that is not a Participating Member State on the date hereof shall, effective from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State, be redenominated in Euro in accordance with the legislation of the European Union applicable to the European Monetary Union; provided that, if and to the extent that any such legislation provides that any such obligation of any such party payable within such Participating Member State by crediting an account of the creditor can be paid by the debtor either in Euros or such National Currency, such party shall be entitled to pay or repay such amount either in Euros or in such National Currency. If the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in this Agreement with respect to an Agreed Foreign Currency of any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the date on which such currency becomes an Agreed Foreign Currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest or fees in respect of the Euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State; provided that, with respect to any Borrowing denominated in such currency that is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect at the end of the Interest Period therefor. Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders and the Lenders to the Borrower under or pursuant to this Agreement, each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time, in consultation with the Borrower, reasonably specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction or changeover to the Euro in any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the date hereof; provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower and the Lenders with prior notice of the proposed change with an explanation of such change in sufficient time to permit the Borrower and the Lenders an opportunity to respond to such proposed change.
