NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and mutual provisions and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Exclusivity Agreement.
2. The Exclusivity Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
a. By adding “Subject to Section 1.3 hereof” at the beginning of Section 1.1.
b. By adding the following as Section 1.3 thereto:
“1.3 ROFR. (a) In the case of a Liquidation (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) from and after the later of: (a) two years from the announcement of such Liquidation by the Company; or (b) the date on which the Company has paid aggregate dividends sufficient to reduce the Hurdle (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) to $104,980,468, in lieu of the obligations set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, Xxxxxx, unless and until the Advisory Agreement has been terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) with respect to the Advisor, or by the Advisor for Cause with respect to the Company, shall instead be obligated solely to offer to the Company a right of first refusal with respect to any Business Opportunity in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.3.
(b) At such time as Xxxxxx has a Business Opportunity, Xxxxxx shall provide written notice (the “ROFR Notice”) to the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Company containing a description of the Business Opportunity and all of the material terms and conditions relating to the Business Opportunity reasonably required to make an informed decision by the Company.
