Issuances of Additional Partnership Interests (a) The Partnership may issue additional Partnership Interests and options, rights, warrants, appreciation rights, tracking and phantom interests, and other economic interests relating to the Partnership Interests (including pursuant to Section 7.4(c)) for any partnership purpose at any time and from time to time to such Persons for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as the General Partner shall determine, all without the approval of any Limited Partners.
(b) Each additional Partnership Interest or other security authorized to be issued by the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.6(a) or Section 7.4(c) may be issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any such classes, with such designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties (which may be senior to existing classes and series of Partnership Interests or other securities), as shall be fixed by the General Partner, including (i) the right to share in Partnership profits and losses or items thereof; (ii) the right to share in Partnership distributions; (iii) the rights upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (iv) whether, and the terms and conditions upon which, the Partnership may or shall be required to redeem the Partnership Interest (including sinking fund provisions) or other security; (v) whether such Partnership Interest or other security is issued with the privilege of conversion or exchange and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange; (vi) the terms and conditions upon which each Partnership Interest or other security will be issued, evidenced by certificates and assigned or transferred; (vii) the method for determining the Percentage Interest as to such Partnership Interest; and (viii) the right, if any, of each such Partnership Interest to vote on Partnership matters, including matters relating to the relative rights, preferences and privileges of such Partnership Interest.
(c) The General Partner shall take all actions that it determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection with (i) each issuance of Partnership Interests and options, rights, warrants, appreciation rights, tracking and phantom interests, and other economic interests in the Partnership or relating to Partnership Interests pursuant to this Section 5.6 or Section 7.4(c), (ii) the conversion of the Combined Interest into Units pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) the issuance of Common Units pursuant to Section 5.11, (iv) the admission of Additional Limited Partners and (v) all additional issuances of Partnership Interests.

(d) No fractional Units shall be issued by the Partnership.
Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, may raise all or any portion of the Additional Funds by accepting additional Capital Contributions of cash. The General Partner may also accept additional Capital Contributions of real property or any other non-cash assets. In connection with any such additional Capital Contributions (of cash or property), the General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership from time to time to issue to Partners (including the General Partner) or other Persons (including, without limitation, in connection with the contribution of tangible or intangible property, services, or other consideration permitted by the Act to the Partnership) additional Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests, which may be Common Units or other Partnership Units issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any of such classes, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional, conversion, exchange or other special rights, powers, and duties, including rights, powers, and duties senior to then existing Limited Partner Interests, all as shall be determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion subject to Maryland law, including without limitation, (i) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit to such class or series of Partnership Interests; (ii) the right of each such class or series of Partnership Interests to share in Partnership distributions; (iii) the rights of each such class or series of Partnership Interests upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; and (iv) the right to vote, including, without limitation, the Limited Partner approval rights set forth in Section 11.2.A; provided, that no such additional Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests shall be issued to the General Partner unless either (a)
(1) the additional Partnership Interests are issued in connection with the grant, award, or issuance of shares of the General Partner pursuant to Section 4.3.C below, which shares have designations, preferences, and other rights (except voting rights) such that the economic interests attributable to such shares are substantially similar to the designations, preferences and other rights of the additional Partnership Interests issued to the General Partner in accordance with this Section 4.3.B, and (2) the General Partner shall make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in an amount equal to any net proceeds raised in connection with such issuance, or (b) the additional Partnership Interests are issued to all Partners holding Partnership Interests in the same class in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in such class or (c) the additional Partnership Interests are issued pursuant to a Stock Plan. The General Partner’s determination that consideration is adequate shall be conclusive insofar as the adequacy of consideration relates to whether the Partnership Interests are validly issued and paid. In the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests pursuant to this Section 4.3.B, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Agreement (including but not limited to the revisions described in Section 5.4, Section 6.2.B, and Section 8.6) as it determines are necessary to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests.
Delivery of Additional Collateral If at any time the Custodian shall notify a Fund by Written Notice that the fair market value of the Collateral securing any Overdraft Obligation of one of such Fund's Portfolios is less than the amount of such Overdraft Obligation, such Fund, on behalf of the applicable Portfolio, shall deliver to the Custodian, within one (1) Business Day following the Fund's receipt of such Written Notice, an additional Pledge Certificate describing additional Collateral. If such Fund shall fail to deliver such additional Pledge Certificate, the Custodian may specify Collateral which shall secure the unsecured amount of the applicable Overdraft Obligation in accordance with Section 3 of this Appendix C.
SALE/PURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL LOANS AND SUBSTITUTION OF SUBSTITUTED LOANS (A) Requirements Relating to Additional Loans From time to time during the Supplemental Purchase Period, SLM ECFC may, but shall not be obligated to, sell Eligible Loans to Funding, and Funding may (but only to the extent that the Eligible Loans are contemporaneously sold to the Eligible Lender Trustee on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the Sale Agreement and the related Additional Sale Agreement) purchase such Additional Loans from SLM ECFC at the related Additional Loans Purchase Price set forth in the related Additional Purchase Agreement. In addition, at any time, SLM ECFC may transfer Substituted Loans to Funding in satisfaction of any Loan repurchase obligations hereunder. The sale and purchase (or substitution) of Additional Loans (or Substituted Loans) pursuant to an Additional Purchase Agreement shall be consummated as set forth in this Section 3.2.
Possession of Collateral Agent and Secured Parties appoint each Lender as agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties) for the purpose of perfecting Liens in any Collateral held or controlled by such Lender, to the extent such Liens are perfected by possession or control. If any Lender obtains possession or control of any Collateral, it shall notify Agent thereof and, promptly upon Agent’s request, deliver such Collateral to Agent or otherwise deal with it in accordance with Agent’s instructions.
Types of Collateral None of the Collateral consists of, or is the Proceeds of, As-Extracted Collateral, Consumer Goods, Farm Products, Manufactured Homes or standing timber.
Transfer of Collateral 3.1 On or prior to the receipt of the Loaned Securities, Borrower shall transfer to Lender Collateral in an amount (the “Required Value”) equal to the percentage (the “Margin Percentage”) of the market value of the Loaned Securities as agreed to by the parties (which shall not be less than 100% of the market value of the Loaned Securities) and shall be equal to the percentage specified in Annex I hereto for particular types of loans.
3.2 All transfers of Collateral consisting of securities (including those made pursuant to Section 8) shall be effected in the same manner as that provided in Section 2 for Loaned Securities. All transfers of Collateral consisting of cash (including those made pursuant to Section 8) shall be made by (a) wire transfer in immediately available, freely transferable funds or (b) such other means as the parties hereto may agree. All transfers of Collateral consisting of a letter of credit from Borrower to Lender shall be made by delivery to Lender of an irrevocable performance letter of credit issued by a bank (not affiliated with Borrower) which is acceptable to Lender and is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or is a foreign bank that has filed an agreement with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on Form FR T-2 (or any successor). Transfer of a letter of credit from Lender to Borrower shall be made by causing such letter of credit to be returned or, through the written consent of Lender, causing the amount of such letter of credit to be reduced to the amount required after such transfer.
3.3 The Collateral transferred by Borrower to Lender, as adjusted pursuant to Section 8, shall be security for Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loan and for any other obligations of Borrower to Lender, and Borrower hereby pledges with, assigns to, and grants Lender a continuing security interest in, and a lien upon, the Collateral (other than letters of credit), which shall attach upon the delivery of the Collateral to Lender and which shall cease upon the redelivery of the Collateral to Borrower.
3.4 Lender may use or invest the Collateral, if such consists of cash, at its own risk and for its own benefit and shall be entitled to retain all income and profits therefrom and shall bear all losses with respect thereto. If the Collateral consists of securities, Lender may pledge, repledge, hypothecate, rehypothecate, lend, relend, sell or otherwise transfer the Collateral and commingle, with other collateral or with its own assets, the Collateral. Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender to be the attorney-in-fact of Borrower for the purpose of doing or performing any act or thing (including, without limitation, executing any document) and to take all other steps as may be required to enable Lender to effect transfer thereof to a third party or to otherwise realize upon any Collateral which has been transferred to it pursuant to any Loan.
3.5 Except as provided in Section 12, Lender shall be obligated to return the Collateral to Borrower upon tender to Lender of the Loaned Securities on termination of the Loan.
3.6 If, on any Business Day corresponding to the commencement date for a Loan, Borrower transfers the Collateral and Lender does not transfer the Loaned Securities, Borrower shall have the absolute right to the immediate return of the Collateral; and if, on any such Business Day, Lender transfers Loaned Securities and Borrower does not transfer Collateral hereunder, Lender shall have the absolute right to the immediate return of the Loaned Securities.
3.7 Borrower may, upon reasonable notice to Lender and with Lender’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), substitute Collateral for Collateral securing any Loan; provided, however, that such substituted Collateral shall (a) consist only of cash, securities or other property that the parties agreed would be acceptable Collateral prior to the commencement of the Loan or Loans and (b) have a market value such that the aggregate market value of such substituted Collateral shall equal or exceed the agreed upon Margin Percentage of the market value of the Loaned Securities. Substituted Collateral shall constitute Collateral hereunder for all purposes.
3.8 A transfer of Loaned Securities or Collateral may be effected on any day except (i) a day on which the intended transferee is closed for business (which transferee may be a designee or agent) or (ii) a day on which a Clearing Organization or wire transfer system is closed, if the facilities of such Clearing Organization or wire transfer system are required to effect such transfer.
(a) Except as provided in the following sentence, upon receipt of Collateral for a Loan, such Collateral shall be allocated to such Loan; provided that if Collateral is received on the same day for more than one Loan, the Lender shall allocate such Collateral to each Loan then being made so that each such Loan is secured by not less than the Required Value of Collateral. Any Collateral received by Lender with respect to a Loan in excess of the Required Value for such Loan may be held by Lender as collateral security for all Loans made to Borrower at any time without being allocated to any one Loan or, in the sole discretion of Lender, may be allocated at any time to any Loan or Loans then outstanding hereunder. All allocations of Collateral shall be marked in Lender’s books, which shall be conclusive evidence of such allocations.
(b) Lender shall have the right, at its sole election, at any time and from time to time, to allocate and/or reallocate any Collateral held by it hereunder to or among any outstanding Loan or Loans.
(c) It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that any allocation of Collateral to any Loan or liabilities due to any Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall in no way affect the ability of Lender to apply such Collateral to the satisfaction of any obligation of Borrower hereunder upon any default hereunder, regardless of the Loan or Account to which such obligation relates, and that all Collateral at any time given hereunder shall constitute collateral security for all the Borrower’s obligations to Lender hereunder without distinction of any kind and upon any default hereunder may be applied to any such obligation or obligations as Lender in its sole discretion may elect.
Disposition of Collateral Such Grantor will not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral owned by it except for dispositions specifically permitted pursuant to Section 6.05 of the Credit Agreement.
Application of Proceeds of Collateral Except as provided in subsection 2.4B(iii)(a) with respect to prepayments from Net Asset Sale Proceeds, all proceeds received by Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral under any Collateral Document may, in the discretion of Administrative Agent, be held by Administrative Agent as Collateral for, and/or (then or at any time thereafter) applied in full or in part by Administrative Agent against, the applicable Secured Obligations (as defined in such Collateral Document) in the following order of priority:
(a) To the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, including reasonable compensation to Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Administrative Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which Administrative Agent is entitled to indemnification under such Collateral Document and all advances made by Administrative Agent thereunder for the account of the applicable Loan Party, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under such Collateral Document, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Collateral Document;
(b) thereafter, to the extent of any excess such proceeds, to the payment of all other such Secured Obligations for the ratable benefit of the holders thereof; and
(c) thereafter, to the extent of any excess such proceeds, to the payment to or upon the order of such Loan Party or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
