DUTIES OF THE MASTER MANAGER
Section 2.1. Nature of Services.
(a) Master Management Services.
(i) The Transaction Manager hereby appoints the Master Manager, as manager, to provide, and the Master Manager hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the following services: (A) monitoring industry conditions and advising the Issuer Subsidiaries regarding the adoption of practices (including revisions to collection and servicing policies) to meet changing needs of Customers and (B) advising the Securitization Entities regarding business strategy and the continued development and expansion by the Contract Holder of its Customer base and the products and services offered to such Customers, including causing adequate capital, to the extent available, to be expended in connection therewith; and
(ii) The Master Manager shall cause each of the Securitization Entities and the Employee Company to comply with and to perform, its respective obligations under each of the Related Documents and the Collateral Bulk Gases Business Documents to which it is a party
The afore-described services in clauses (i) and (ii) (the “Master Management Services”) shall be performed by the Master Manager in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 2.1(b) hereof and as agent for and on behalf of the Transaction Manager. The list of Management Services may be amended from time to time by mutual agreement of the Master Manager and the Transaction Manager; provided, that any amendment to reduce the scope of existing Master Management Services shall require the prior consent of the Control Party.
(b) Master Manager’s Standard of Performance for Master Management Services. The Master Manager shall perform the Master Management Services in a manner that (i)(A) is in accordance with the practices of the Master Manager immediately prior to the Closing Date and (B) to the extent of changed circumstances, practices, technologies, strategies or implementation methods, procedures and degrees of care, is at least equal or superior to that employed by third parties generally recognized as competent managers of businesses and assets of a nature reasonably similar to those managed hereunder; (ii) would enable the Master Manager to cause compliance by the Securitization Entities in all material respects with all of the duties and obligations of the Securitization Entities under the Related Documents and the Collateral Bulk Gases Business Documents; (iii) is in compliance in all material respects with the Customer
Contracts, Third Party IP License Agreements, Delivery Truck Leases, Real Estate Leases, Supply Contracts and other agreements and arrangements with Customers and other parties; and (iv) is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law (collectively, the “Master Management Standard”). To the extent that the Master Management Standard is modified as a result of a change described in sub-clause (i)(B) of the definition thereof, such change will be described in the next following Monthly Manager’s Certificate.
(c) Discretionary Powers. The Master Manager shall exercise all discretionary powers involved in connection with the Master Management Services, subject to the terms hereof, and shall be required to, except as may otherwise be provided herein, pay at its sole cost and expense all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith that may be necessary or advisable for the carrying out of the transactions contemplated by this Master Management Agreement. The Master Manager may, for its own account, seek the assistance of other Persons in carrying out any and all of its duties hereunder and may enter into sub-management agreements in connection therewith; provided, that the Master Manager will at all times remain liable for the performance of the Master Management Services provided herein.
(d) No Financial Liability. No provision of this Master Management Agreement will require the Master Manager to expend or risk its funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its rights or powers hereunder, if the Master Manager has reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds, or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability, is not compensated by the payment of the Master Management Fee or the reimbursement of the expenses incurred in the course of performance of the Master Management Services, and is otherwise not reasonably assured or provided to it. Further, the Master Manager will not be obligated to perform any services not enumerated or otherwise contemplated hereunder, unless the Master Manager determines that it is more likely than not that it will be reimbursed for all of its expenses incurred in connection with such performance.
(e) Approvals. The Master Manager shall consult with and obtain approval from the Transaction Manager for any action that is not within the scope of the Master Management Services. The Master Manager shall not take any action pursuant to this Master Management Agreement on behalf of the Transaction Manager, the Master Issuer, the Contract Holder, the Equipment Holder or the IP Holder, as the case may be, which is inconsistent with, or would cause the Transaction Manager, the Master Issuer, the Contract Holder, the Equipment Holder or the IP Holder, as the case may be, to be in breach of, a provision of any of the Related Documents or any applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent not expressly delegated to the Master Manager hereunder or to the Replacement Manager pursuant to Section 6(c) of the Replacement Management Agreement, the Member of the Transaction Manager retains full power and authority (subject to Section 6(c) of the Replacement Management Agreement) to direct the management of the Transaction Manager in accordance with its Organizational Documents and the laws of the State of Delaware.
(f) Principal Place of Business. All activities hereunder by the Master Manager shall be conducted from the Master Manager’s principal place of business identified in Section 8.1 hereof, or at such other location, provided the Transaction Manager, the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Manager are provided 30 days’ prior written notice with respect to such other location.
(g) Leadership Team. The Master Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that at all times the Leadership Team (including replacements of members thereof) in the aggregate has sufficient experience to enable the Master Manager to perform the Master Management Services, and any replacement member of the Leadership Team will have at least ten years of general business experience (including at least five years of management experience), or, in the case of the general counsel, eight years of experience as a lawyer. To the extent that a member of the Leadership Team is replaced, notice of such replacement will be provided in the Monthly Manager’s Certificate.
(h) Sub-license Grant. (i) The Transaction Manager grants to the Master Manager a non-exclusive, royalty-free sub-license in and right to use the Securitization IP to the extent reasonably necessary for the Master Manager to perform its obligations hereunder. The Master Manager shall use the Securitization IP sub-licensed pursuant to this Section 2.1(h) subject to the terms of the Related Documents and any other agreements relating to the Securitization IP. The foregoing sub-license grant shall extend to the Master Manager’s employees, agents and, solely to the extent the same are permitted to perform obligations of the Master Manager hereunder, independent contractors. Such sub-license shall terminate on the date this Master Management Agreement is terminated.
(ii) The Master Manager acknowledges that it is not the owner of the Securitization IP and that its right to use the Securitization IP is derived solely from this Master Management Agreement. The Master Manager acknowledges that the IP Holder is the owner of the Securitization IP and that the IP Holder granted a license to the Transaction Manager and the Transaction Manager is granting a sub-license to the Master Manager in accordance with and subject to the license granted by the IP Holder in favor of the Transaction Manager. The Master Manager acknowledges that it shall not acquire or claim adversely to the IP Holder any right, title or interest in and to any of the Securitization IP or any of the goodwill related thereto. The Master Manager acknowledges that each and every use of the Securitization IP by the Master Manager under this Master Management Agreement and any and all goodwill resulting from the Master Manager’s use of the Securitization IP shall at all times inure to the benefit of the IP Holder, and the Master Manager agrees to execute any and all documents that may be submitted to the Master Manager reasonably necessary to carry out the intention of this covenant. This covenant shall survive termination of this Master Management Agreement for any reason.
(iii) The Master Manager shall immediately notify the Transaction Manager of any apparent infringement of, challenge to the Master Manager’s use of, or adverse claim of rights to, the Securitization IP, and the Master Manager shall not communicate with any Person other than the IP Holder and the Transaction Manager and its counsel or the Master Manager’s counsel in connection with any such infringement, challenge or claim.
(iv) The Master Manager acknowledges that, to the fullest extent allowed by law, all Copyrights included in any After-Acquired IP Assets created as a result of the Master Manager’s services hereunder shall be considered a “work made for hire,” as that term is defined in Section 101 of the United States Copyright Act, as amended, and shall vest in the IP Holder as author. Any right, title and interest in and to the After-Acquired IP Assets, whether copyrightable or not, including any works which may be deemed by competent authority not to be “works made for hire” created pursuant to this Master Management Agreement, is hereby assigned by the Master
Manager to the IP Holder. The Master Manager shall, at its own expense, execute, and secure the execution or other written authorization from the applicable authors retained by the Master Manager, of all Copyrights or other transfer or conveyance of ownership in any such After-Acquired IP Assets to the IP Holder.
Section 2.2. Master Management Fee and Reimbursement of Expenses.
(a) As compensation for the performance of the Master Management Services, the Master Manager, or any Person operating on its behalf, shall be entitled to receive and accrue to its benefit, the Master Management Fee. In addition, the Master Manager, or any Person operating on its behalf, shall be entitled to reimbursement of all expenses incurred by the Master Manager, or any Person operating on its behalf, in the course of its performance of the Master Management Services. The Master Management Fee will be adjusted annually based on the CPI. The Master Management Fee and the reimbursement of expenses shall be payable solely from amounts received by the Transaction Manager, or any Person operating on its behalf, pursuant to the terms of, and only to the extent amounts are available for payment under, Section 5.13 of the Base Indenture. Upon a Master Manager Default of the type described in Section 7.1(j) or (k) hereof and during the Hot Replacement Manager Phase (as defined in the Replacement Management Agreement), the Master Manager acknowledges that the Master Management Fee may be reduced, in whole or in part, by an amount necessary to pay the Replacement Manager as provided for and in accordance with the Replacement Management Agreement.
(b) Power of Attorney. Subject to Section 6(c) of the Replacement Management Agreement, so long as this Master Management Agreement is in effect, the Transaction Manager hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Master Manager, or any Person operating on its behalf, and any officer thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act in the place and stead of the Transaction Manager and in the name of the Transaction Manager or in its own name, from time to time in the Master Manager’s discretion, for the purpose of providing the Master Management Services in accordance with the terms of this Master Management Agreement, and will execute the power of attorney in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, which power of attorney shall terminate with respect to the Master Manager in the event that the Master Manager’s rights under this Agreement are terminated as provided for herein but shall be effective for each successor Master Manager.
ARTICLE III.
TERM OF AGREEMENT
The term of this Master Management Agreement shall commence on the date hereof (the “Effective Date”) and, except as provided in Article VII, shall expire on the last day of each calendar month thereafter; provided, however, that the Transaction Manager may renew this Master Management Agreement for the following calendar month if it gives the Master Manager prior written notice of such election (which notice will be included in the Monthly Manager’s Certificate which the Transaction Manager will provide to the Master Manager as provided in Section 4.1(b) of the Base Indenture). Should the Transaction Manager fail to deliver a written notice of renewal, the Transaction Manager may, at any time prior to the end of the next calendar

ARTICLE VI.
COVENANTS OF THE MASTER MANAGER
Section 6.1. Covenants. So long as this Master Management Agreement remains in effect:
(a) Financial Statements. As soon as practicable and in any event within 45 days after the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year (or, within 60 days after the end of the first fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date), the Master Manager shall deliver to the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Rating Agencies an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Master Manager as of the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year and unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Master Manager for such
quarter and for the period commencing at the end of the previous fiscal year and ending with the end of such quarters; and as soon as practicable and in any event within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an audited consolidated balance sheet of the Master Manager as of the end of each fiscal year and audited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the Master Manager for such fiscal year, setting forth in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, prepared in accordance with GAAP and accompanied by an opinion thereon of the Independent Accountants stating that such audited consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the companies being reported on and their results of operations and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the event the Master Manager incurs any Indebtedness greater than $25,000,000 within any one fiscal year, the Master Manager shall, as soon as practicable, and in any event within 90 days after the incurrence of such Indebtedness, deliver to the Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Rating Agencies a stand-alone unaudited unconsolidated balance sheet of the Master Manager setting forth such Indebtedness.
(b) Annual Accountants’ Reports. As soon as practicable after the end of the Master Manager’s fiscal year, the Master Manager shall deliver to the Transaction Manager a separate report, concerning the fiscal year just ended, prepared by the Independent Accountants (the “Annual Accountants’ Reports”), to the effect that their examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and accordingly included such auditing procedures as they considered necessary in the circumstances in accordance with the standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, as such standards may be modified from time to time.
(c) Notice of Defaults. The Master Manager will give prompt notice in a manner consistent with Section 8.1 hereof to the Trustee and the Administrative Agent of (i) an Indenture Event of Default of which the Master Manager has actual knowledge, (ii) a Master Manager Default or Transaction Manager Default of which the Master Manager has actual knowledge, and (iii) any event of which the Master Manager has actual knowledge that the Master Manager reasonably believes will result in the occurrence of an Indenture Event of Default or Master Manager Default or Transaction Manager Default if not cured or waived within any relevant grace period (such notice, a “Notice of Default”).
(d) Company Existence; Governing Documents. The Master Manager will keep in full force and effect its existence and rights as a corporation under the laws of its state of organization and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Master Management Agreement. The Master Manager shall maintain its existence separate and distinct from the Master Issuer and the Issuer Subsidiaries. The Master Manager shall, on the date the audited financials are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(a) hereof, deliver an official Officer’s Certificate attesting that each of the Master Manager, Transaction Manager and each Securitization Entity has complied with the separateness covenants under the Related Documents in all material respects.
(e) Modification of Customer Contract Origination Practices. The Master Manager agrees that immediately prior to the Effective Date, one of its objectives was the development and maintenance of relationships with Customers pursuant to Customer Contracts that are (i)
written and (ii) of a long term nature. The Master Manager agrees to cause the Equipment Holder or the Contract Holder to maintain the practice, with respect to all or a substantial portion of new and existing Customer Contracts, of (i) having written Customer Contracts and (ii) unless the Master Manager determines, in accordance with the Master Management Standard, that it is not commercially reasonable or practicable to do so, having Customer Contracts of a long term nature. Nothing in this Section 6.1(e) shall prohibit the Master Manager from allowing (subject to the Master Management Standard) the Contract Holder or the Equipment Holder, on a case by case basis, to originate individual new Customer Contracts of a short term nature or modify individual existing Customer Contracts to shorten the term thereof.
(f) Requirements of Law. If the grant by the Master Issuer, Contract Holder, Equipment Holder and IP Holder of the first priority perfected security interests under the Indenture, or any portion or aspect thereof, requires any further approval, perfection or compliance with any Requirements of Law or administrative rule, or shall be prohibited under or in violation of any Requirements of Law or administrative rule, the Master Manager agrees to advise the Transaction Manager as to the action and cause the Master Issuer, Contract Holder, Equipment Holder and IP Holder, as applicable, to do all things reasonably necessary or advisable to obtain all such approvals and to accomplish such perfection or compliance, and/or expeditiously to remove any prohibition and cure any violation, so as to effectuate to the fullest extent permissible by law the entire security interest granted under the Indenture.
(g) No Liens. The Master Manager shall not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any property or assets of any kind of the Transaction Manager, the Master Issuer, the Contract Holder, the Equipment Holder and the IP Holder other than the Lien of the Indenture and any other Related Documents and Permitted Liens.
(h) Inspection. At any time and from time to time, the Master Manager shall permit the Transaction Manager, the Master Issuer, the Contract Holder, the Equipment Holder, the IP Holder, the Administrative Agent, or their respective agents or representatives, during regular business hours and upon five Business Days’ prior written notice (but not more often than two times in any twelve month period so long as no Master Manager Default has occurred and is continuing): (i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from the books and records (financial and corporate) of the Master Manager, insofar as they relate to the assets of the Issuer Subsidiaries or its duties hereunder as Master Manager and (ii) to visit the offices and properties of the Master Manager for the purpose of examining such books and records and to discuss matters relating thereto and to the performance of the Master Manager under this Master Management Agreement with any of the officers or employees of the Master Manager having knowledge of such matters.
(i) The Master Manager Not To Resign; No Assignment.
(i) The Master Manager shall not resign from the duties and obligations hereby imposed on it except upon a determination by the Transaction Manager that by reason of a change in applicable legal requirements, the continued performance by the Master Manager of its duties under this Master Management Agreement would cause it to be in material violation of such legal requirements (i.e., requirements pursuant to law or
regulation, rather than contractual), said determination to be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect.
(ii) The Master Manager may not assign this Master Management Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Transaction Manager.
(iii) Except as provided in this Section 6.1(i) or in Sections 7.2 and 7.3, the duties and obligations of the Master Manager under this Master Management Agreement shall continue until this Master Management Agreement shall have been terminated as provided in Articles III and VII, and shall survive the exercise by the Transaction Manager of any right or remedy under this Master Management Agreement, or the enforcement by the Transaction Manager of any provision of this Master Management Agreement. The Master Manager shall continue to serve as Master Manager hereunder until such time as a successor shall be appointed and assume the duties of Master Manager hereunder.
(j) Taxes. The Master Manager shall (i) pay all Taxes when due or payable, together with any interest or penalty, addition to tax or additional amount imposed thereon or in connection therewith, (ii) file, when due, all tax returns, statements, reports or forms required to be filed with any taxing authority and (iii) except for consolidated tax returns, not become, or permit itself to become, liable for the Taxes of any other Person or entity, whether by contract, operation of law or otherwise.
