(i)

the Payee will notify HWIC prior to any such transfer and if HWIC, acting reasonably, objects to the transfer, both HWIC and the Payee will consult in good faith in respect of the negative implications HWIC considers would occur as a result of such transfer occurring and which were the reason for the objection (which may include structuring issues, securities laws filings and limitations under existing shareholder agreements relating to the Affiliated/Strategic Assets) and the transfer shall not be completed unless such implications have been resolved to HWIC's satisfaction, acting reasonably, provided that if the Payee acts reasonably in considering the steps necessary for such resolution and uses its reasonable endeavours to implement any reasonable resolution but HWIC does not so consent to the transfer of Affiliated/Strategic Assets within 15 Business Days of the Payee notifying HWIC pursuant to this Clause 4.1(a)(i), then the Payee shall be entitled to effect such transfer; and

If HWIC fails to deliver an HWIC Notice, the Payee shall be entitled to select those Affiliated/Strategic Assets it requires to be sold so as to deliver proceeds as are at least equal to (but shall exceed by the minimum practicable amount) the amount set out in the Liquidity Event Notice, and will give written notice of its selection to the Promisor and such notice shall be deemed an HWIC Notice.

5.5

On or before 31 December 2022, HWIC on behalf of the Promisor may deliver one or more notices (each a "Call Option Notice") to the Payee requiring it to procure the sale of certain Affiliated/Strategic Assets set out in the Call Option Notice to a Promisor Managed Acquiror at a purchase price (which may either be in cash or, subject to Clause 5.8, investment assets) equal to:

(a)

the Guaranteed Affiliated Asset Value that results from using the date of the applicable Call Option Notice as the date of calculation; LESS

(b)

(c)

The Payee will give consideration to and discuss such proposal with the Promisor, but will be under no obligation to accept payment through the transfer of investment assets in lieu of cash.

5.9

If the Payee reasonably determines that any of the Affiliated/Strategic Assets to be transferred as set out in:

(a)

a Call Option Notice cannot be transferred free from Encumbrances on completion of their transfer under Clause 5.7; or

(b)

an HWIC Notice cannot be transferred free from Encumbrances on completion of their transfer under Clause 5.3,

in each case due to being embargoed or encumbered pursuant to applicable Laws (and the Payee shall in any event use all reasonable endeavours to procure the release of Encumbrances over such assets), the Promisor and the Payee will work in good faith to select alternative Affiliated/Strategic Assets which can be transferred on such completion free from Encumbrances, and in the absence of such agreement the Call Option Notice or the HWIC Notice, as applicable, shall be deemed not to have been given (and completion the of the transfer of those assets set out in the Call Option Notice or HWIC Notice shall not occur).
