NOW, THEREFORE, and in consideration of the mutual covenants, rights, and obligations set forth in this Agreement, the benefits to be derived therefrom, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and the sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

MSC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Office Space, the Equipment and the Services to be provided to the Company; provided that, MSC shall be under no obligation to (A) provide access to any MSC Service Provider if such person’s employment with MSC has been terminated or such person refuses or is unable to perform Services; (B) provide any Service if MSC determines in good faith that any applicable law or regulation prevents or prohibits MSC from providing such Service or MSC is unable to obtain the requisite consents, approvals or authorizations to provide such Service; (C) provide any Service if a third party contractor ceases to provide Services to MSC
such that MSC can no longer provide such Service, (D) provide any Service if MSC ceases to provide such Service to itself or its affiliated funds or (E) provide access to any Office Space or Equipment if such access would violate applicable law or regulation, a confidentiality or similar obligation of MSC or the terms of MSC’s lease with respect to such Office Space or Equipment; provided, that in each such circumstance described in clauses (A) through (E) of this Section 2(a), each Party shall cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to determine the best alternative approach.
