Identification of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts If any Advance made with respect to any Mortgage Loan on or before the date on which such Mortgage Loan becomes (or, but for the making of three monthly payments under its modified terms, would then constitute) a Corrected Mortgage Loan, together with (to the extent theretofore accrued and unpaid) Advance Interest thereon, is not pursuant to the operation of the provisions of Section 3.05(a)(I) reimbursed to the Person who made such Advance on or before the date, if any, on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan (or, but for the making of three monthly payments under its modified terms, would constitute a Mortgage Loan that is a Corrected Mortgage Loan), such Advance, together with such Advance Interest, shall constitute a “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount” to the extent that such amount has not been determined to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. All references herein to “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount” shall be construed always to mean the related Advance and (to the extent theretofore accrued and unpaid) any Advance Interest thereon, together with (to the extent it remains unpaid) any further Advance Interest that accrues on the unreimbursed portion of such Advance from time to time in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement. That any amount constitutes all or a portion of any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount shall not in any manner limit the right of any Person hereunder to determine that such amount instead constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (A) shall be required to approve, execute or deliver any documentation in connection with any such Financing that, in each case, is not effective or conditioned, as applicable, upon the Closing or that would not terminate without liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Significant JV Entities, Representatives or Affiliates upon the termination of this Agreement, (B) shall be required to incur any liability or obligation (including any indemnification obligation) in connection with any such Financing that is not contingent on the Closing or pay any commitment or other fee in connection with any Financing prior to the Closing, (C) shall be obligated to provide any financial (or other) information that (1) is not produced in the ordinary course of business or (2) cannot be produced or provided without unreasonable cost or expense, (D) shall be required to take any action other than at Parent’s request and with reasonable prior notice, (E) shall be required to take any action that would conflict with, violate or result in a breach of or default under its organizational documents or any material contract or Law to which it or its property is bound, (F) shall be required to adopt resolutions or implement other authorizations approving any financing arrangement pursuant to this Section 5.20 or pledge any collateral with respect to such financing arrangement or otherwise encumber its assets prior to Closing (and, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) the post-Closing board of directors or other governing bodies, as applicable, shall enter into or provide any resolutions as may be required and (y) the post-Closing officers shall provide any officer certificates as may be required, in each case, in connection with any financing arrangement at, or as of, the Closing Date), (G) shall be required to take any action that could subject any director, manager, officer or employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries to any actual or potential personal liability, (H) shall be required to provide access to or disclose information that the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with counsel) would jeopardize any attorney client privilege of, or conflict with any confidentiality requirements applicable to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Significant JV Entities, Representatives or Affiliates, (I) shall be required to take any action that it determines in good faith would unreasonably interfere with the ongoing commercial operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Significant JV Entity, (J) shall be required to take any action to the extent it could cause any representation or warranty in this Agreement to be breached, cause any condition to the Closing set forth in Article VI to fail to be satisfied or otherwise cause any breach of this Agreement or (K) shall be required to deliver or cause the delivery of any legal opinions or accountants’ comfort letters or reliance letters in connection with any such Financing. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent acknowledges and agrees that compliance with this Section 5.20(a) is not a condition to Closing (including for the purposes of Section 6.3(b)), the consummation of a Financing is not a condition to the Closing, and if any Financing has not been obtained, Parent shall continue to be obligated, until such time as the Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VII and subject to the waiver or fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Article VI, to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Termination Assistance If the Agreement or a Service terminates or expires, in whole or in part, for any reason (including termination by BNY Mellon due to breach by Voya or rejection of the Agreement under applicable bankruptcy Law), Voya may require BNY Mellon, during the Termination Assistance Period, to: (1) continue to perform the terminated or expired Services (or portion thereof), wherein Voya shall continue to pay for such Services that BNY Mellon performs as set forth in Article 8; (2) reasonably cooperate with Voya or another supplier designated by Voya in the transfer of the Services to Voya or such other supplier in order to facilitate the transfer of the Services to Voya or such other supplier; and (3) perform any other services reasonably required to transfer the provision of the terminated or expired Services to Voya or another supplier, including the services set forth in the Exit Plan and Exhibit 13 (the services in clauses (1) through (3), the “Termination Assistance Services”). The Termination Assistance Services shall be considered “Services” and shall be performed in accordance with the Agreement. If there are no established rates for the services in clause (3), the Parties shall negotiate rates for such services consistent with the Fees (e.g., comparable discounts). There shall be no additional Fees for providing the cooperation described in clause (2) unless such cooperation requires additional resources over and above those used to provide the Services without causing disruption in the Services. During a Termination Assistance Period, the Termination Assistance Services shall be of the same quality, level of performance and scope required under the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that BNY Mellon is no longer providing accounting services (under a separate accounting agreement) to any Voya Fund(s), BNY Mellon’s obligations pursuant to this Section shall be limited with respect to such Voya Funds to clauses (2)-(3) of this Section.

For such services, the Fund will make the following payments to the Distributor:
