Valid Tender In order for a tendering Limited Partner to participate in the Offer, its Units must be validly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the Expiration Date. To validly tender Units, a properly completed and duly executed Assignment of Partnership Interest and any other documents required by the Assignment of Partnership Interest must be received by the Depositary, at its address set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase, on or prior to the Expiration Date. A Limited Partner may tender any or all of the Units owned by that Limited Partner; provided, however, that because of restrictions in the Limited Partnership Agreement, in order for a partial tender to be valid, after a sale of Units pursuant to the Offer, the tendering Limited Partner must continue to hold a minimum of five Units. Accordingly, any Limited Partner that owns five or fewer Units must tender all or none of its Units. Tenders of fractional Units will not be permitted, except by a Limited Partner who is tendering all of the Units owned by that Limited Partner. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, CIG shall have the right to extend the Tender Offer beyond the Tender Offer Initial Expiration Date for: (1) any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof applicable to the Tender Offer or (2) any period required by applicable Law, and upon the Company’s request, CIG shall extend the Tender Offer beyond the Tender Offer Initial Expiration Date for one period of up to 30 days for the purpose of satisfying (x) the requirements under any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof applicable to the Tender Offer or (y) the waiting period requirements applicable to the Tender Offer under the HSR Act.

Agreement to Tender Subject to the terms of this Agreement, unless and until this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.02, each Stockholder agrees to validly and irrevocably tender or cause to be validly and irrevocably tendered in the Offer all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, free and clear of all Encumbrances (as defined below) except for Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, promptly after the Tender Notice (as defined below), but in no event later than the last time at which the depositary can accept tenders prior to the expiration of the Offer, each Stockholder shall validly and irrevocably tender or cause to be validly and irrevocably tendered in the Offer all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares free and clear of all Encumbrances except for Permitted Encumbrances, including by delivering pursuant to the terms of the Offer (a) a letter of transmittal with respect to all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares complying with the terms of the Offer, (b) a certificate representing all such Subject Shares that are certificated or, in the case of a book-entry share of any uncertificated Subject Shares, written instructions to such Stockholder’s broker, dealer or other nominee that such Subject Shares be tendered, and requesting delivery of an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) and (c) all other documents or instruments reasonably required to be delivered by other Company stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Offer. Each Stockholder agrees that, once any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares are tendered, such Stockholder will not withdraw such Subject Shares from the Offer, unless and until this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.02. In the event this Agreement has been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.02, Parent shall promptly return to the Stockholder all Subject Shares such Stockholder tendered in the Offer. At all times commencing with the date hereof and continuing until the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, each Stockholder shall not tender any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares into any tender or exchange offer commenced by a Person other than Parent or any Parent Subsidiary. For purposes hereof, a “Tender Notice” means a written notice, delivered by Parent to each Stockholder on the date of the expiration of the Offer (as soon as practicable following 10:00 a.m. New York City time on such expiration date but in no event later than one hour prior to the last time at which the depositary can accept tenders prior to the expiration), specifying that (i) all of the conditions to the Offer have been satisfied (or are reasonably expected to be satisfied as of the expiration of the Offer) or waived by Parent (to the extent permitted by the Business Combination Agreement) (it being understood that such written notice can only be validly delivered by Parent to the extent that all of the conditions to the Offer have, in fact, been satisfied (or are reasonably expected to be satisfied as of the expiration of the Offer) or otherwise waived by Parent (to the extent permitted by the Business Combination Agreement)); provided that, for purposes of the Tender Notice only, the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition shall be tested assuming that all shares of Company Common Stock to be tendered pursuant to Section 1.01 of this Agreement are tendered prior to the expiration of the Offer and that the consummation of the Offer occurs contemporaneously with the delivery of the Tender Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 1.01 shall obligate Parent to deliver a Tender Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Stockholder shall have any obligation under this Section 1.01 to tender any Subject Shares into the Offer if that tender would cause such Stockholder to violate any applicable Law.
Company is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (iii) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) of the Securities Act) made any offer relating to the Notes in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 of the Securities Act, and (iv) as of the Execution Time, the Company was and is a “well known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, that automatically became effective not more than three years prior to the Execution Time; the Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Securities Act objecting to use of the automatic shelf registration statement form and the Company has not otherwise ceased to be eligible to use the automatic shelf registration form.
Broker/Dealer Relationships Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries (i) is required to register as a “broker” or “dealer” in accordance with the provisions of the Exchange Act or (ii) directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is a “person associated with a member” or “associated person of a member” (within the meaning set forth in the FINRA Manual).

Broker-Dealer Selection The Sub-Adviser is authorized to make decisions to buy and sell securities and other investments for each Series’ portfolio, broker-dealer selection, and negotiation of brokerage commission rates in effecting a security transaction. The Sub-Adviser’s primary consideration in effecting a security transaction will be to obtain the best execution for the Series, taking into account the factors specified in the prospectus and/or statement of additional information for the Trust, and determined in consultation with the Manager, which include price (including the applicable brokerage commission or dollar spread), the size of the order, the nature of the market for the security, the timing of the transaction, the reputation, the experience and financial stability of the broker-dealer involved, the quality of the service, the difficulty of execution, and the execution capabilities and operational facilities of the firm involved, and the firm’s risk in positioning a block of securities. Accordingly, the price to a Series in any transaction may be less favorable than that available from another broker-dealer if the difference is reasonably justified, in the judgment of the Sub-Adviser in the exercise of its fiduciary obligations to the Trust, by other aspects of the portfolio execution services offered. Subject to such policies as the Trust’s Board of Trustees or Manager may determine and consistent with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Sub-Adviser shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused a Series to pay a broker-dealer for effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker-dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker-dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Sub-Adviser’s or the Manager’s overall responsibilities with respect to the Series and to their respective other clients as to which they exercise investment discretion. The Sub-Adviser will consult with the Manager to the end that portfolio transactions on behalf of a Series are directed to broker-dealers on the basis of criteria reasonably considered appropriate by the Manager. To the extent consistent with these standards, the Sub-Adviser is further authorized to allocate the orders placed by it on behalf of a Series to the Sub-Adviser if it is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC, to an affiliated broker-dealer, or to such brokers and dealers who also provide research or statistical material, or other services to the Series, the Sub-Adviser, or an affiliate of the Sub-Adviser. Such allocation shall be in such amounts and proportions as the Sub-Adviser shall determine consistent with the above standards, and the Sub-Adviser will report on said allocation regularly to the Trust’s Board of Trustees indicating the broker-dealers to which such allocations have been made and the basis therefor.
Inactivity Timeout Transfer Agent shall employ access and password controls as well as inactivity timeouts of no longer than fifteen (15) minutes on laptops, desktops and mobile devices managed by Transfer Agent and used by Transfer Agent’s personnel.
