(b) To the extent that the Trusts’ Representative exercises its rights on behalf of the Trust (PI) under the Share Issuance Agreement and the Section 524(g) Shares are issued and delivered to the Trust (PI) (or its permitted successors or assigns), the amount of the remaining Deferred Payments (PI) shall automatically be reduced, in the order directed by Xxxxx, by the Fair Market Value of the portion of the Section 524(g) Shares allocated to the Trust (PI) pursuant to Section 4 of the Intercreditor Agreement (as such Section 4 of the Intercreditor Agreement, together with any defined terms used (directly or indirectly) in such Section 4 of the Intercreditor Agreement are in effect as of the date hereof, or as amended or modified from time to time with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) of Grace and the Parent Guarantor after the date hereof).
3. Payments.
(a) All payments to be made hereunder or in respect hereof shall be made in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Permitted Holder (or, if the Permitted Holder directs in writing, to one or more other Permitted Payees pursuant to such written direction received by Xxxxx pursuant to Section 16) in accordance with wire transfer instructions provided by the Permitted Holder or Permitted Payees in writing from time to time. Upon request by the Permitted Xxxxxx, Xxxxx shall provide, or cause to be provided, the Federal Reserve Bank wire reference numbers and other wire information related to any payments hereunder.

(d) All payments made hereunder or in respect hereof (i) during the existence of an Event of Default shall be applied, first to pay any fees, costs and expenses payable by Xxxxx pursuant to Section 16(h) and Section 19, second, to any unpaid interest accrued on the Deferred Payments (PI) and, third, to the Deferred Payments (PI) in direct order of maturity, and (ii) at any other time, as directed by the Permitted Payor.
(e) If, after giving effect to (y) any Disposition Transaction or any assignment, delegation or transfer by Xxxxx of its rights or obligations under this Deferred Payment Agreement (PI) or (z) any election to have a Permitted Payor make any payment on behalf of Grace pursuant to Section 4(a), Grace, any successor Entity to Grace or such Permitted Payor shall be required by applicable Law to withhold any Taxes from any payments of Deferred Payments (PI) or interest at the Default Rate hereunder, and if such requirement would not have been imposed by such applicable Law but for such Disposition Transaction, assignment or transfer, then (i) the sum payable on account of Deferred Payments (PI) or interest at the Default Rate shall be increased as necessary so that after making all withholdings required by applicable Law (including withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3(e)) the Permitted Payee receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received on account of Deferred Payments (PI) or interest at the Default Rate had no such withholdings been made, (ii) Grace or such successor Entity, shall, or shall cause such Permitted Payor to, make such withholdings; and (iii) Grace or such successor Entity shall, or shall cause such Permitted Payor to, timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

This Section 3(f) shall survive the termination of this Deferred Payment Agreement (PI) pursuant to Section 11.
(g) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in any Law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of Law), in each case adopted after the date hereof, Grace or a Permitted Payor shall be required to withhold any Taxes from any payments of Deferred Payments (PI) or interest at the Default Rate hereunder, then the obligation of Grace or the Permitted Payor to make the relevant payment of a Deferred Payment (PI) or interest at the Default Rate hereunder shall be discharged by making such payment net of such Taxes. This Section 3(g) shall survive the termination of this Deferred Payment Agreement (PI) pursuant to Section 11.
4. Permitted Payor; Prepayments.
(a) The obligation of Grace to make all or any portion of any Deferred Payment (PI) may be satisfied by direct payment of such amounts by a Permitted Payor.

5. Representations and Warranties. Xxxxx xxxxxx represents and warrants to the Trust (PI) that as of the Effective Date:
(a) Xxxxx is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Connecticut.
(b) Xxxxx has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver each Deferred Payment Document (PI) to which it is a party. Each Deferred Payment Document (PI) to which Xxxxx is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of Grace and has been duly executed and delivered by Xxxxx.
(c) Each Deferred Payment Document (PI) to which Xxxxx is a party is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Grace, enforceable against Grace in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, by the discretion of the court in which enforcement is sought, and/or by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings at law or in equity).
(d) The execution, delivery and performance by Xxxxx of each Deferred Payment Document (PI) to which it is party does not conflict with, result in a breach of any of the provisions of, or violate the Governing Documents of Grace.

(b) Negative Covenant. Grace shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and Controlled Affiliates (each, a “Transferor”) to not, sell, assign, transfer, license, lease or otherwise dispose of (each, a “Transfer”) any property and/or other assets and/or enter into any transaction or obligation, whether constituting or by way of merger, consolidation, sale of assets or other disposition, reorganization, recapitalization, dividend, other distribution, or otherwise, or any related series of the foregoing (any such Transfer other than Ordinary Dividends, Bona Fide Compensation Transactions and other Transfers in the ordinary course of business, a “Disposition Transaction”), if the Transferor (taken together with all of its direct and indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries) would (1) receive (directly or indirectly) less than a reasonably equivalent value in such Disposition Transaction, (2) become or be rendered Insolvent as a result of such Transfer and/or such Disposition Transaction, or (3) be engaged in business and/or transactions, and/or would be about to engage in business and/or transactions, for which the Transferor’s (taken together with all of its direct and indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries) remaining property and other assets would be unreasonably small capital; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, a Transferor:
(i) that is a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Grace may make a Transfer to or engage in a Disposition Transaction exclusively with Grace or any other direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Grace;
(ii) may engage in a Disposition Transaction whereby such Transferor (A) pays or makes (directly or indirectly) dividends or distributions (whether in cash, securities or other property) with respect to any of its Capital Stock (including by way of a spin-off or spinout of any of its assets), or (B) repurchases its Capital Stock, provided that, in the case of any Disposition Transaction under subclause (A) or (B) above, all of the following conditions are satisfied:
1. | no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of, or would result from, such Disposition Transaction; |
2. | as of the Transaction Date of such Disposition Transaction, the Post-Transaction Pro Forma Valuation of (x) the Parent Guarantor or (y) Grace shall equal or exceed the Threshold Amount; and |
3. | if such Disposition Transaction exceeds $15,000,000 and is not publicly disclosed at least 10 days prior to the consummation of such Disposition Transaction, then Grace shall provide the Permitted Holder with at least 10 days prior to the consummation of such Disposition Transaction, a written notice describing in reasonable detail the material terms of such Disposition Transaction and setting forth the Post-Transaction Pro Forma Valuation of Grace as of the Transaction Date of such Disposition Transaction; and |
(iii) other than as set forth in Section 6(b)(ii) above, shall not enter into any Disposition Transaction with a Related Party to the Transferor in which the aggregate value of the assets or other property Transferred in such Disposition Transaction to such Related Party exceeds $15,000,000 if the Transferor (taken together with all of its direct and indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries) would (1) receive (directly or indirectly) less than a reasonably equivalent value in such Disposition Transaction, as determined by a reputable investment bank or valuation firm jointly selected by Xxxxx and the Permitted Holder, (2) become or be rendered Insolvent as a result of such Transfer and/or such Disposition Transaction or (3) be engaged in business and/or transactions, and/or would be about to engage in business and/or transactions, for which the Transferor’s (taken together with all of its direct and indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries) remaining property and other assets would be unreasonably small capital; provided, that if the aggregate value of the assets or other property Transferred to such Related Party in such Disposition Transaction exceeds $15,000,000 and the existence of such Disposition Transaction is not publicly disclosed at least 10 days prior to the consummation of such Disposition Transaction, then Grace shall provide the Permitted Holder with at least 10 days’ prior to the consummation of such Disposition Transaction, a written notice describing in reasonable detail the material terms of such Disposition Transaction and setting forth the Post-Transaction Pro Forma Valuation of Grace as of the Transaction Date of such Disposition Transaction;
provided further that if Xxxxx is not the surviving or succeeding Entity as a result of any Disposition Transaction (but in the case of a sale of assets, only if such sale involves a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Grace) otherwise permitted by the exceptions to this Section 6(b), such Disposition Transaction shall be permitted under this Section 6(b) only if Grace and the Parent Guarantor shall comply with the requirements of Section 16(g).
7. Subordination Terms. Any and all obligations of Xxxxx in respect of Deferred Payments (PI) and this Deferred Payment Agreement (PI) shall be subordinated and otherwise junior at all times in right of payment and in all other respects, in the manner and to the extent set forth herein, to any and all present and future obligations of Grace in respect of any Senior Indebtedness.
(a) Blockage of Deferred Payments (PI).
(iv) If any payment default occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable grace period pursuant to the terms and conditions of any Senior Indebtedness (a “Senior Payment Default”), then subject to Section 7(g), no payment or distribution of cash, securities or any other assets shall be made by Grace with respect to any Deferred Payments (PI) or pursuant to the Deferred Payment Documents (PI) for as long as such Senior Payment Default is continuing.
(v) If any default other than a Senior Payment Default occurs pursuant to the terms and conditions of any Designated Senior Indebtedness that would allow the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof (a “Senior Non-Payment Default”), then subject to Section 7(g), no payment or distribution of cash, securities or, any other assets shall be made by Grace with respect to any Deferred Payments (PI) or pursuant to the Deferred Payment Documents (PI) during the period (the “Payment Blockage Period”) (x) beginning on the date that the Permitted Holder receives from the Entity entitled to give notice under any document evidencing such Designated Senior Indebtedness (or from Grace acting at the direction or request of such Entity) a written notice (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) that such a Senior Non-Payment Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) ending on the earliest to occur of (1) 180 days from the date the Permitted Holder shall have received the Payment Blockage Notice, (2) the date such Senior Non-Payment Default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist and (3) the date such Payment Blockage Period shall have been terminated by written notice to the Permitted Holder from the Entity initiating such Payment Blockage Period.
(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) in no event will a Payment Blockage Period extend beyond 180 days from the date the Payment Blockage Notice in respect thereof was received by the Permitted Holder, (B) there shall be a period of at least 180 consecutive days in each period of 360 consecutive days when no Payment Blockage Period is in effect, and (C) no Senior Non-Payment Default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice (whether or not such Senior Non-Payment Default is with respect to the same issue of Designated Senior Indebtedness) may be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice, unless such Senior Non-Payment Default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive calendar days.
(vii) The making of Deferred Payments (PI) or other payments pursuant to this Deferred Payment Agreement (PI) shall resume, and any Deferred Payments (PI) or other payments pursuant to this Deferred Payment Agreement (PI) not paid due to a suspension thereof pursuant to clause (i) or clause (ii) of this Section 7(a) shall be paid, together with accrued interest thereon at the Default Rate, when such suspension is no longer in effect (either due to cure or waiver of the relevant Senior Payment Default or the expiration or termination of the Payment Blockage Period pursuant to clause (i) or clause (ii) of this Section 7(a)) unless a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice has been delivered in accordance with clause (iii) of this Section 7(a) and is not prohibited from being delivered by clause (iii) of this Section 7(a).
(viii) The failure of Grace to make any Deferred Payments (PI) or to pay any other amounts under this Deferred Payment Agreement (PI) by reason of the operation of this Section 7(a) shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default or from characterizing any Deferred Payments (PI) as “past due” for purposes of Section 9(c).
(b) Proceedings. Upon any payment made by Grace, or any distribution of cash, securities or other assets of any kind of Grace (other than securities issued in substitution for the obligation to make Deferred Payments (PI) that are subordinated to at least the extent described herein for Deferred Payments (PI), which Securities the Permitted Holder (or any Permitted Payee, if applicable) is specifically authorized to receive notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7), to creditors in any Proceeding with respect to Grace or its properties, all obligations due on all Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution is made on account of any Deferred Payments (PI) or otherwise pursuant to the Deferred Payment Documents (PI).
(c) Improper Payments Held in Trust. Any payments or property received by the Permitted Holder or any Permitted Payee in breach of this Section 7 shall be held by the Permitted Holder or such Permitted Payee in trust and promptly delivered in the form received to the holder of Senior Indebtedness entitled to receive the same (any such payment or property delivered by the Permitted Holder or such Permitted Payee to any holder of Senior Indebtedness, a “Turnover Payment”). To the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law, Xxxxx agrees that any Turnover Payment shall be treated as a payment by Xxxxx on account of such Senior Indebtedness and shall not satisfy Xxxxx’s obligation with respect to any amount due to the Permitted Holder or such Permitted Payee under this Deferred Payment Agreement (PI). If, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, it is determined (by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise) that a Turnover Payment is a payment by Xxxxx on account of, and satisfies any obligation of Grace with respect to, any amount due to the Permitted Holder or any Permitted Payee under this Deferred Payment Agreement (PI), then, to the extent of the amount of such Turnover Payment, the portion of the obligation which has been determined to be paid and satisfied by such Turnover Payment shall be reinstated and shall continue to be in full force and effect as of the time immediately preceding the initial payment thereof by Xxxxx to the Permitted Holder or such Permitted Payee. If, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any portion of an obligation of Grace in respect of such Turnover Payment is not reinstated and continued to the extent of the amount of the relevant Turnover Payment, then the Permitted Holder or the applicable Permitted Payee shall, upon the payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness owed to the holder thereof to whom the Permitted Holder or such Permitted Payee delivered such Turnover Payment, be subrogated to the rights of such holder to receive payments or distributions applicable to such Senior Indebtedness, and for the purpose of such subrogation such Turnover Payment shall not, as between Grace and the Permitted Holder or such Permitted Payee, be deemed to be payment by Xxxxx to or on account of such Senior Indebtedness.
(d) Remedies Blockage. Subject in any event to the other terms and conditions of this Section 7 (including Section 7(a) and Section 7(g)), and not in abrogation thereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and any Senior Indebtedness is then outstanding, the Permitted Holder hereby agrees for itself and its assigns that it will not (1) exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies against Grace or the Parent Guarantor with respect to such Event of Default or (2) institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure, contest or protest) under any Deferred Payment Document (PI) or any agreement or document relating thereto, or under such Event of Default or otherwise or (3) attempt to do any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Remedies”), for a period commencing on the date that such Event of Default occurs and ending on the earliest to occur of (i) 180 days after the first date on which such Event of Default shall have occurred, (ii) the commencement of a Proceeding with respect to Grace, the Parent Guarantor or their respective properties, (iii) the date that the holder (or any agent or trustee of the holder) of any Senior Indebtedness commences exercising any Senior Remedies with respect to such Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, the acceleration of all or any portion of such Senior Indebtedness) and (iv) the payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, as applied to the Permitted Holder, the term “Remedies” shall not include, and the Permitted Holder shall not be impaired by Section 7(d) from doing, any of the following: (A) exercising rights and remedies for specific performance or injunctive relief to compel Grace or the Parent Guarantor to comply with any non-payment obligations under the Deferred Payment Documents (PI) (including commencing any action contemplated by Section 16(h)), (B) instituting or maintaining any suit or action solely to prevent the running of any applicable statute of limitations, (C) accruing interest on the Deferred Payments (PI) at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 9(c) and (D) giving any notice (including notice of an Event of Default) to Grace under the Deferred Payment Documents (PI).
(f) No Secured Obligation. Except for the Parent Guarantee and the share issuance obligation with respect to the Section 524(g) Shares as and to the extent contemplated in the Share Issuance Agreement, no credit support or security interest shall be granted by Xxxxx, the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with, or otherwise support or secure any obligation set forth in, the Deferred Payment Documents (PI). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Permitted Holder may obtain to the extent permitted under applicable Law a judgment lien on the properties of Grace and/or the Parent Guarantor to secure the payment and performance of a judgment obtained by the Permitted Holder against Xxxxx and/or the Parent Guarantor.
(g) No Impairment of Right to Receive Section 524(g) Shares or Warrant Shares. Nothing in this Section 7 shall impair the rights of the Trust (PI) (or its permitted successor or assigns) (i) acting through the Trusts’ Representative pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, to deliver to the Parent Guarantor a Demand for Issuance of the Section 524(g) Shares and to receive the Trust (PI)’s percentage of the Section 524(g) Shares pursuant to the Share Issuance Agreement or (ii) to exercise all or any portion of the Warrant and to receive the shares of Common Stock in connection therewith.
(h) Further Assurances. At the reasonable request of Xxxxx or the Parent Guarantor, the Permitted Holder will, at the sole expense of Xxxxx and the Parent Guarantor, execute such agreements, documents, certificates and/or other instruments confirming the existence and extent of the subordination terms detailed in this Section.
8. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Deferred. Payment Agreement (PI):
(a) Neither Grace nor any Permitted Payor shall make (i) any Deferred Payment (PI) on any Deferred Payment Date (PI) and such failure shall continue for five (5) Business Days after the relevant Deferred Payment Date (PI) or (ii) any payment of interest at the Default Rate owing under this Deferred Payment Agreement (PI) within seven (7) Business Days after demand therefor by the Permitted Holder (or the Permitted Payee, if applicable) entitled thereto;
(b) Grace or the Parent Guarantor (A) shall institute any proceeding or voluntary case seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking dissolution, liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of it or its debts pursuant to any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for any such Entity or for any substantial part of its property, (B) shall be generally not paying its debts as such debts become due or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally, or (C) shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(c) Any proceeding shall be instituted against Grace or the Parent Guarantor seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking dissolution, liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for any such Entity or for any substantial part of its property, and either such proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days;
(d) Xxxxx shall breach any covenant set forth in Section 6(a)(i), or the Parent Guarantor shall breach any covenant set forth in Section 7(a)(i) of the Parent Guarantee (PI), and in any such case such breach shall continue for thirty (30) days after the earlier of (A) any Authorized Officer of Xxxxx obtains knowledge of such failure and (B) the Permitted Holder’s written notice to Xxxxx and the Parent Guarantor of such failure;
(e) Grace shall breach any covenant set forth in Section 6(a)(iv)(A), or the Parent Guarantor shall breach any covenant set forth in Section 7(a)(iv)(A) of the Parent Guarantee (PI), and in any such case such breach shall continue for ten (10) days after the Permitted Holder’s written notice to Xxxxx and the Parent Guarantor of such breach;
(f) Grace shall breach any covenant set forth in Section 6(b) (other than any notice requirement set forth therein), or the Parent Guarantor shall breach any covenant set forth in Section 7(b) of the Parent Guarantee (PI) (other than any notice requirement set forth therein), and in any such case, as of the Transaction Date of the Disposition Transaction that resulted in such breach, the Post-Transaction Pro Forma Valuation of the Parent Guarantor shall not exceed the Threshold Amount and the Post-Transaction Pro Forma Valuation of Grace shall not exceed the Threshold Amount;
(g) (i) Neither Grace nor the Parent Guarantor shall deliver the written notice required by Section 6(b) of this Deferred Payment Agreement (PI) or Section 7(b) of the Parent Guarantee (PI) with respect to a Disposition Transaction on or prior to the date required by Section 6(b) of this Deferred Payment Agreement (PI) or Section 7(b) of the Parent Guarantee (PI), as applicable, and (ii) as of the four-Fiscal Quarter period ended most recently prior to the consummation of such Disposition Transaction, either (A) if the Transaction Date of a Significant Transaction has occurred during such four-Fiscal Quarter period, the Pro Forma Valuation of Grace and the Pro Forma Valuation of Parent Guarantor were each less than the Threshold Amount, or (B) if the Transaction Date of a Significant Transaction has not occurred during such four-Fiscal Quarter period, the Valuation of Grace and the Valuation of the Parent Guarantor were each less than the Threshold Amount;
(h) Grace or the Parent Guarantor shall assert in writing that any Deferred Payment Document (PI) or any material term thereof is not a legal, valid and binding obligation of Grace or the Parent Guarantor, as the case may be, enforceable in accordance with its terms in any material respect; or
(i) A default occurs under the Deferred Payment Agreement (PD) or the Deferred Payment Agreement (ZAI) that causes any of the Deferred Payments due under either or both the Deferred Payment Agreement (PD) or the Deferred Payment Agreement (ZAI), respectively, to be accelerated and become due prior to its or their stated maturity.
9. Remedies.
(a) Subject to Section 7, the Permitted Holder shall have the right, power and authority to do all things deemed necessary or advisable to enforce the provisions of, and protect its rights under, this Deferred Payment Agreement (PI) and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default the Permitted Holder may institute or appear in such appropriate proceedings permitted and not prohibited under this Deferred Payment Agreement (PI) as the Permitted Holder shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of its rights hereunder, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Deferred Payment Agreement (PI) or to enforce any other proper remedy.
(b) Subject to Section 7, without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Permitted Holder may declare the unpaid Deferred Payments (PI), together with all other amounts payable hereunder, to be immediately due and payable, whereupon such Deferred Payments (PI) and other amounts shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind (except that in the case of an Event of Default of the type described in subsection (b) or (c) under Section 8, such acceleration shall occur without any action of the Permitted Holder or any other Entity).
(c) In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all Deferred Payments (PI) that are past due shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, which, subject to the terms of Section 7, shall be payable to the Permitted Holder on demand until such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, or all remaining Deferred Payments (PI) shall have been paid in full.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the Permitted Holder shall be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Deferred Payment Agreement (PI) to prevent breaches of or enforce compliance with those covenants of Grace set forth in Section 6. Any party’s pursuit of specific performance or injunctive relief at any time will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled, including the right to pursue remedies for liabilities or damages incurred or suffered by such party.
23. Other Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law on such party, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Deferred Payment Agreement (PI) as of the date first written above.
