The Management Fee will be reduced, but not below zero, by the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s proportionate share of any management fees the Manager receives in connection with any investment vehicle in which the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, invests, based on the percentage of equity the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, holds in such vehicle.” |
