Representations and Warranties
Unless otherwise defined in the Assumption Agreement, the terms which are capitalized herein shall have the meaning as set forth in each of the Note Agreements. The Successor Corporation represents and warrants to each Noteholder as follows:
1. Organization; Power and Authority. The Successor Corporation is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Successor Corporation has the corporate power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver the Assumption Agreement and the Replacement Notes, as the case may be, and to perform the provisions thereof. The Successor Corporation is and will continue to be registered as a non‑diversified, closed‑end investment management company as such term is used in the 1940 Act.
2. Authorization, Etc. The Assumption Agreement and the Replacement Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Successor Corporation, and the Assumption Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery thereof each Replacement Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Successor Corporation enforceable against the Successor Corporation in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
3. No Subsidiaries. The Successor Corporation has no Subsidiaries as of the date hereof.
4. Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, Etc. The execution, delivery and performance by the Successor Corporation of the Assumption Agreement and the Replacement Notes will not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of the Successor Corporation under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or by‑laws, or any other Material agreement or instrument to which the Successor Corporation is bound or by which the Successor Corporation or any of its properties may be bound or affected, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to the Successor Corporation or (iii) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Successor Corporation, including, without limitation, the Securities Act and the 1940 Act.
Exhibit B
(to Assumption Agreement)
5. Governmental Authorizations, Etc. No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Successor Corporation of the Assumption Agreement or the Replacement Notes.
6. Existing Indebtedness. (a) Except as described therein, Exhibit C sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding indebtedness of the Successor Corporation as of June 20, 2014 (including a description of the obligors and obligees, principal amount outstanding and collateral therefor, if any, and Guaranty thereof, if any), since which date there has been no Material change in the amounts, interest rates, sinking funds, installment payments or maturities of the indebtedness of the Successor Corporation. The Successor Corporation is not in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any indebtedness of the Successor Corporation, and no event or condition exists with respect to any indebtedness of the Successor Corporation the outstanding principal amount of which exceeds $10,000,000 that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such indebtedness to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment.
(b) The Successor Corporation is not a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument evidencing indebtedness of the Successor Corporation, any agreement relating thereto or any other agreement (including, but not limited to, its charter or other organizational document) which limits the amount of, or otherwise imposes restrictions on the incurring of, indebtedness of the Successor Corporation, except as specifically indicated in Exhibit C.
7. Status under Certain Statutes. The Successor Corporation is in material compliance with the 1940 Act, including, but not limited to, all leverage provisions specified in the 1940 Act.
8. Pari Passu Ranking. The Successor Corporation’s payment obligations under the Assumption Agreement and the Replacement Notes will, upon issuance of the Replacement Notes, rank pari passu, without preference or priority, with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Successor Corporation and senior to any Preferred Stock issued by the Successor Corporation.
