For the purposes of calculating Combined EBITDA for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters (each, a “Reference Period”) pursuant to any determination of the Combined Leverage Ratio, (i) if at any time during such Reference Period the Obligors or any subsidiary shall have made any Material Disposition, the Combined EBITDA for such Reference Period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Combined EBITDA (if positive) attributable to the property that is the subject of such Material Disposition for such Reference Period or increased by an amount equal to the Combined EBITDA (if negative) attributable thereto for such Reference Period and (ii) if during such Reference Period the Obligors or any subsidiary shall have made a Material Acquisition, Combined EBITDA for such Reference Period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Material Acquisition occurred on the first day of such Reference Period; provided that, with respect to any such Material Disposition or Material Acquisition, Combined EBITDA shall be adjusted to take into account compensation expense, occupancy costs, rental expenses and other reasonably identifiable and supportable cost and expense items that will be eliminated as a result of consummating such Material Disposition or Material Acquisition (“Disposition/Acquisition Addbacks”); provided further that (x) calculations of Disposition/Acquisition Addbacks shall be made in good faith by a Senior Financial Officer and (y) Disposition/Acquisition Addbacks shall not exceed 10% of Combined EBITDA for any Reference Period. As used in this definition, “Material Acquisition” means any acquisition of property or series of related acquisitions of property that (a) constitutes assets comprising in excess of 51% of an operating unit of a business or constitutes in excess of 51% of the common stock of a Person and (b) involves the payment of consideration by the Obligors and their respective subsidiaries in excess of $250,000,000; and “Material Disposition” means any disposition of property or series of related dispositions of property that yields gross proceeds to one or more of the Obligors and their respective subsidiaries in excess of $250,000,000.

the income (or deficit) of any CLO Subsidiary of any of the Obligors, except to the extent that any such income is actually received by such Obligor or such subsidiary in the form of dividends or similar distributions and (c) the undistributed earnings of any subsidiary of the Obligors to the extent that the declaration or payment of dividends or similar distributions by such subsidiary is not at the time permitted by the terms of any Contractual Obligation, Organizational Document or Requirement of Law applicable to such subsidiary. For the avoidance of doubt, Combined Net Income is prior to the allocation of income with respect to preferred equity interests of the Obligors.

“Combined Total Debt” means, at any date, the difference between (1) the combined principal amount of all Indebtedness of the type described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (f) (to the extent the underlying Indebtedness is of the types otherwise enumerated in this definition of Combined Total Debt), (g) (to the extent the underlying Indebtedness is of the types otherwise enumerated in this definition of Combined Total Debt), (h), (i) and (j) (to the extent of drawings thereunder) thereof of the Obligors and their respective consolidated subsidiaries at such date, determined in accordance with GAAP; provided that Combined Total Debt shall exclude (x) Non-Recourse CLO Subsidiary Indebtedness and (y) Indebtedness among the Obligors, the Subsidiaries of any Obligor or any of them, minus (2) Cash and Cash Equivalents that are not subject to any Liens (other than bankers’ Liens and rights of setoff and inchoate Liens) at such date; provided, further, that the contribution to Combined Total Debt of a subsidiary that is not a wholly owned subsidiary shall be calculated in proportion to the Obligors’ aggregate direct or indirect economic interests in such subsidiary.

“GAAP” means generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time in the United States of America, except any requirement for the consolidation of investment funds or CLOs advised or managed by any of the Obligors, their Subsidiaries, AIFM and any member of 17Capital Group and other entities that may be required by FASB ASC 810-20 or similar and subsequent authoritative accounting pronouncements. For purposes of clarification, the term “investment funds” hereunder includes entities held by an Obligor (or any of its subsidiaries) that hold investments that an Obligor, a subsidiary or an Affiliate thereof manages or intends to manage as part of an investment fund or CLO,

including entities formed for the purpose of holding investments in connection with seeding a new investment portfolio or strategy.

Section 9.7, the foregoing shall exclude any agreements with respect to a Lien permitted under Sections 10.5(d), 10.5(e) and 10.5(f); provided further that the foregoing shall exclude indebtedness among the Obligors, the Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries or any of them. For the avoidance of doubt, a Credit Facility of any Person that is not an Obligor or a Subsidiary shall not constitute a Material Credit Facility.

For the avoidance of doubt, “Subsidiary” shall include a CLO Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) neither AIFM nor any member of 17Capital Group that would otherwise be a “Subsidiary” shall be a “Subsidiary” unless and until the date on which such Person is required to be consolidated with the Obligors in accordance with GAAP (the “Consolidation Date”); provided that in the case of a member of 17Capital Group that would otherwise be a “Subsidiary”, if the Obligors have delivered a 17C Certificate (as defined below) on or before the 15th Business Day following the Consolidation Date to each holder of a Note (other than a Competitor) that is an Institutional Investor, such member shall not be a “Subsidiary” for purposes of Section 9.7 (Affiliate Guarantors) and Section 10.5 (Liens) (the “Permitted Covenants”) until the date that is the six month anniversary of the Consolidation Date with respect to such member.

Except as expressly set forth herein, all of the representations, warranties, terms, covenants and conditions of the Note Purchase Agreement shall remain unamended and in full force and effect.
