Retention of Adviser The Company hereby appoints the Adviser to act as the investment adviser to the Company and to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Company, subject to the supervision of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”), for the period and upon the terms herein set forth in accordance with:
COMPENSATION OF ADVISER The Manager will pay the Adviser an advisory fee with respect to the Allocated Portion as specified in Appendix A to this Agreement. Payments shall be made to the Adviser on or about the fifth day of each month; however, this advisory fee will be calculated daily for the Allocated Portion based on the net assets of the Allocated Portion on each day and accrued on a daily basis.
Compensation of Advisor For services to be provided by the Advisor pursuant to this Agreement, the Fund will pay to the Advisor, and the Advisor agrees to accept as full compensation therefor, an investment advisory fee consisting of a base fee plus a performance adjustment at the rates specified in Schedule A to this Agreement, payable quarterly in arrears.
COMPENSATION OF THE MANAGER BY FUND For all services to be rendered and payments made as provided in Sections 1, 2 and 4 hereof, the Fund will accrue daily and pay the Manager monthly, or at such other intervals as the Fund and Manager may agree, a fee based on the average of the values placed on the net assets of each Series of the Fund as of the time of determination of the net asset value on each trading day throughout the month in accordance with Schedule 1 attached hereto. Net asset value shall be determined pursuant to applicable provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Fund. If pursuant to such provisions the determination of net asset value is suspended, then for the purposes of this Section 5 the value of the net assets of the Fund as last determined shall be deemed to be the value of the net assets for each day the suspension continues. The Manager may, at its option, waive all or part of its compensation for such period of time as it deems necessary or appropriate.
Retention and Termination of Servicer The Servicer hereby covenants and agrees to act as such under this Agreement for an initial term, commencing on the Closing Date and ending on _______________ which term shall be extendible by [the Note Insurer] for successive quarterly terms ending on each successive June 30, September 30, December 31, and March 31 (or, pursuant to revocable written standing instructions from time to time to the Servicer and the Trust Collateral Agent, for any specified number of terms greater than one), until the termination of the Issuer. Each such notice (including each notice pursuant to standing instructions, which shall be deemed delivered at the end of successive quarterly terms for so long as such instructions are in effect) (a "Servicer Extension Notice") shall be delivered by [the Note Insurer] to the Trust Collateral Agent and the Servicer. The Servicer hereby agrees that, as of the date hereof and upon its receipt of any such Servicer Extension Notice, the Servicer shall become bound, for the initial term beginning on the date hereof and for the duration of the term covered by such Servicer Extension Notice, to continue as the Servicer subject to and in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement. [Until such time as a Note Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing,] the Trust Collateral Agent agrees that if as of the fifteenth day prior to the last day of any term of the Servicer, the Trust Collateral Agent shall not have received any Servicer Extension Notice from [the Note Insurer], the Trust Collateral Agent will, within five days thereafter, give written notice of such non-receipt [to the Note Insurer], the Back-up Servicer (or any alternate successor servicer appointed by the Note Insurer pursuant to Section 8.5) and the Servicer and the Servicer's terms shall not be extended unless a Servicer Extension Notice is received on or before the last day of such term.

Employment of Advisors The TMP shall employ experienced tax advisors to represent the Partnership in connection with any audit or investigation of the Partnership by the Internal Revenue Service and in connection with all subsequent administrative and judicial proceedings arising out of such audit.
