In entering into this Agreement, Seller acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article IV, none of SPV, CPPIB, CPPIB Feeder or any of their respective Affiliates nor any other Person on behalf of any of them, makes or shall be deemed to make any representation or warranty to the Seller or any other Person with respect to the Transaction, express or implied, at law or in equity (including as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information provided or made available to the Seller or any of its agents, representatives, or Affiliates prior to the execution of this Agreement) and the Seller hereby disclaims any such representation or warranty, whether by SPV, CPPIB, CPPIB Feeder, their respective Affiliates or any other Person, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to the Seller or any of its or its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives or any other Person, of any documentation or other with respect to the foregoing.

Article V

COVENANTS

Section 5.01 Tax Matters. All Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with the consummation of the Transaction shall be borne equally by Seller and the SPV.

Section 5.02 Post-Closing Covenants. Following the Closing, Seller agrees that for so long as any of the Acquired Assets are indirectly owned by CPPIB or a permitted transferee thereof in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, except as permitted pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, without the prior written consent of CPPIB:

(a) it will not, and will not permit any of its wholly-owned direct or indirect Subsidiaries with respect to the Acquired Assets (excluding any actions or transactions by any GCM Fund, provided such actions or transactions do not disproportionately and adversely affect the SPV’s economic entitlements in the Acquired Assets), to:

(i) modify the governing documents of any GCM Fund or of any Intermediate Vehicle that receives distributions of carried interest from any of the GCM Funds, in each case, so as to adversely impact the SPV’s economic entitlements in the Acquired Assets, including any modification that would result in a material delay in the distribution of cash which is due to SPV to which SPV is or would be entitled as a result of its ownership of the Acquired Assets (in each case, except in the ordinary course or in accordance with past practice);

(ii) seek to delay or withhold (for a period of 60 days or more), or reduce, any distributions attributable to any of the Acquired Assets in an aggregate amount at any time in excess of $1,000,000 except (A) for the establishment of reasonable reserves for expenses and liabilities of SPV and its Subsidiaries, (B) as required by the governing documents of a GCM Fund, (C) to the extent failing to do so would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the duties of a GCM Entity to a GCM Fund or (C) in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; or

(iii) take or fail to take any action, an intended purpose of which is to deprive SPV of its economic entitlements in the Acquired Assets;

(b) it shall not permit any Intermediate Vehicle through which the entitlement to proceeds in respect of the Acquired Assets would be distributed or would flow through to (x) incur any Indebtedness or (y) create any mortgage, charge, pledge or other encumbrance securing all or any of the assets of such Intermediate Vehicle as security for the repayment of such Indebtedness, in each case other than (i) in respect of borrowings or any activities of the GCM Funds in the ordinary course as set out in the GCM Funds’ governing documents or (ii) in the ordinary course and consistent with GCM LLLP’s prior practice in respect of carried interest arrangements or in respect of borrowings pursuant to the Term Loan, and provided further that the Indebtedness as permitted in clause (ii) above and any related mortgage, charge, pledge or other encumbrance securing all or any of the assets of an Intermediate Vehicle (whether with respect to the Acquired Assets or otherwise) has no adverse effect on the distributions, including but not limited to the delay, deferral or forfeiture, that the SPV is entitled to receive from or by reference to the Acquired Assets nor is the SPV allocated any costs, expenses or liabilities solely in respect of such Indebtedness; and

(c) shall, or shall cause another GCM Entity to, commit to invest, or invest, at least $10,000,000 of additional funds to GCM Funds in respect of Future GP Commitments (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) in excess of those committed to as of the date hereof as set forth on Section 5.02(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules.

Section 5.03 Assignment of Underlying Assets. Seller agrees to cause its Affiliates to approve an assignment and assumption of interests in GCM Entities with respect to the Acquired Assets to the SPV at the Closing and to cause the admission of the SPV as a limited partner of such entities at the Closing.

Section 5.04 Prepayment. Seller shall, immediately upon receiving the Consideration, make the Prepayment such that any Liens over the Acquired Assets (or any part thereof) which relate to the indebtedness of Seller are released on the Closing Date.

Section 5.05 Excluded Tax Amount. Following Seller’s receipt of all Internal Revenue Service Schedule K-1s in respect of the Acquired Assets for the 2019 taxable year, Seller shall deliver to the SPV a computation of the amount of the Excluded Tax Amount with respect to each Acquired Asset. The Excluded Tax Amounts shall not be distributed to the SPV in respect of the Acquired Assets and instead shall be distributed by the applicable GCM Entity to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Seller has not received such Excluded Tax Amounts within ten (10) Business Days of the SPV’s receipt of the computation of the Excluded Tax Amount described above with respect to any applicable GCM Entity and Seller reasonably demonstrates that the SPV has incorrectly received a distribution of any such Excluded Tax Amount, the SPV will promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days), pay to Seller such Excluded Tax Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Seller. The parties agree to treat any Excluded Tax Amount as distributed by the applicable GCM Entity to Seller as a distribution under Section 731 of the Code and any payment by the SPV to Seller in relation to an Excluded Tax Amount as a purchase price adjustment for all U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent such amounts have not been treated as having been distributed directly by the applicable GCM Entity to Seller under Section 731 of the Code.

Article VI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.01 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the applicable limitations and other provisions of this Article VI, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the SPV and its Related Parties (the “SPV Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses asserted against, incurred, sustained or suffered by any of them to the extent as a result of, arising out of or relating to (a) any breach or violation of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by Seller and contained in this Agreement, (b) any failure by Seller to perform any of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement, (c) any Excluded Obligations, (d) an injunction preventing distributions in respect of Acquired Assets to the SPV, or by the SPV to CPPIB Feeder, or by GP Entity to SPV, or by Newco Subsidiary to SPV or GP Entity, as a result of, arising out of or relating to any breach or violation of, or inaccuracy in, Section 3.03, and/or (e) (i) any fraud or willful and wanton misconduct of (A) GCM LLLP or any successor general partner which is an Affiliate of it, in respect of its obligations and duties as general partner of SPV, (B) Lakeshore Investments GP, LLC or any successor general partner which is an Affiliate of it, in respect of its obligations and duties as general partner of CPPIB Feeder, (C) CFIG Holdings, LLC or any successor general partner which is an Affiliate of it, in respect of its obligations and duties as general partner of GP Entity, or (D) GP Entity, or any successor general partner which is an Affiliate of it, in respect of its obligations and duties as general partner of Newco Subsidiary, in each case of this clause (i) resulting in a Loss to the SPV or (ii) any material breach by (A) GCM LLLP or any successor general partner which is an Affiliate of it, of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in the Partnership Agreement, (B) Lakeshore Investments GP, LLC or any successor general partner which is an Affiliate of it, of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in the Feeder Partnership Agreement, (C) CFIG Holdings, LLC or any successor general partner which is an Affiliate of it, of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in the GP Entity Partnership Agreement, or (D) GP Entity, or any successor general partner which is an Affiliate of it, of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in the Newco Subsidiary Partnership Agreement, in each case of this clause (ii) arising out of its gross negligence or bad faith and resulting in a material Loss to the SPV.

Section 6.02 Indemnification by SPV. Subject to the applicable limitations and other provisions of this Article VI, SPV shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Related Parties (the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses asserted against, incurred, sustained or suffered by any of them to the extent as a result of, arising out of or relating to any failure by the SPV to perform any of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement.

Section 6.03 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

(a) All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement will survive the Closing for the periods set forth in this Section 6.03.

(b) With respect to any claim or claims for breaches of representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, or a claim or claims for indemnification for Excluded Obligations, no Indemnifying Party will be liable with respect thereto unless written notice of a possible claim for indemnification with respect to such matter is given by the Indemnified Party to such Indemnifying Party on or before the applicable Survival Date, it being understood that so long as such written notice is given on or prior to the Survival Date, such representation, warranty, covenant or claim for indemnification for Excluded Obligations shall continue to survive until such matter is resolved, but only with respect to the matter(s) identified in such notice(s) of possible claim(s). It is the express intent of the Parties that, if an applicable Survival Date as contemplated by this Section 6.03(b) relating to a claim is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such claim, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations relating to that claim shall be reduced to the shortened Survival Date contemplated hereby. Any investigation or other examination that may be made at any time by or on behalf of a Party to which representations and warranties are made shall not limit, diminish or in any way affect the specific representations and warranties in this Agreement, and the parties may rely on the specific representations and warranties in this Agreement (as qualified by the Seller Disclosure Schedules), irrespective of any information obtained by them by any investigation, examination or otherwise.

Section 6.04 Indemnification Claims Procedures. Any claim by a Party (the “Indemnified Party”) for indemnification pursuant to this Article VI shall be made by a written notice to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) (and in the case of Section 6.01(a), (b) or (c), prior to the applicable Survival Date), describing such claim in reasonable detail, including (to the extent reasonably ascertainable) the amount or estimated amount of Losses, the basis thereof and the provisions of this Agreement upon which such claim for indemnification is made, and including a copy of all materials and claims received with respect to such claim (a “Claims Notice”). In the event an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a claim made by any third party against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes could result in a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.01 or Section 6.02, as applicable, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim in a Claims Notice; provided, however, that no failure or delay in the serving of such notice shall in any way relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay. Such Claims Notice shall also reasonably summarize, to the extent possible, (i) the basis for the claim for indemnification and any claim or liability being asserted by a third party, (ii) the representation and warranty or covenant or other agreement that is alleged to have been inaccurate or to have been breached and (iii) (to the extent reasonably ascertainable) the aggregate amount of the Losses for which a claim is being made under this Article VI. Following receipt of a Claims Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may, at its option, assume the defense of the Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel selected by it, subject to the Indemnifying Party undertaking, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, to indemnify the Indemnified Party and its Related Parties for any Losses arising therefrom (subject to Section 6.05 and the other provisions of this Article VI). In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided that if the named parties to the Third Party Claim or related litigation include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and in the written opinion of the Indemnified Party’s outside counsel there exists a material conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party may engage separate counsel and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of such separate counsel (subject to consultation in relation to the choice of counsel with the Indemnifying Party) which shall be limited to one counsel to the Indemnified Party. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to any settlement entered into or any judgment consented to without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity and in otherwise defending and resolving such matters, which assistance and cooperation shall include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents reasonably requested relating to such matters. Any indemnification payment shall be treated for tax purposes as an adjustment to the applicable portion of the Consideration, to the extent permitted under applicable Law.

Section 6.05 Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary:

(a) Seller. Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.01 to the contrary, Seller shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless the SPV Indemnitees (i) pursuant to Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Seller Fundamental Representations, if and to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds an amount equal to 115% of $173,327,307; (ii) pursuant to Section 6.01(a) (other than indemnification obligations referred to in the preceding clause (i) or arising from or in connection with a breach of the Seller Representation at Section 3.03), if and to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds $173,327,307; (iii) pursuant to Section 6.01(a), with respect to a breach of the Seller Representation at Section 3.03, if and to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds the Other Cap Amount; (iv) pursuant to Section 6.01(b) or pursuant to Section 6.01(a) with respect to Section 3.10, if and to the extent the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds $173,327,307; (v) pursuant to Section 6.01(c) with respect to Clawback Obligations, if and to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds $173,327,307; (vi) pursuant to Section 6.01(d), if and to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds the Other Cap Amount; and (vi) pursuant to Section 6.01(e)(ii), if and to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds the Other Cap Amount; provided that, in the case of each of clauses (i) to (vi) (inclusive), each such amount shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the aggregate amount paid by Seller to SPV in satisfaction of an obligation to indemnify SPV pursuant to any other clause of Section 6.01. Except with respect to the Seller Fundamental Representations or Section 3.10, Seller shall not be liable in connection with any indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 6.01(a) (x) with respect to any individual claim unless such claim (together with all other claims, if any, resulting from the same or related facts and circumstances) is greater than $173,327 and (y) until the SPV Indemnitees have suffered aggregate Losses arising from one or more breaches of Seller Representations (excluding Losses not indemnifiable pursuant to the preceding clause (x)) in excess of $866,636 (the “Deductible”) in the aggregate (after which point Seller will, subject to the immediately preceding sentence, be obligated to provide indemnification for all such indemnifiable Losses in excess of the Deductible). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.05(a), the SPV Indemnitees shall not be subject to any limitation pursuant to this Section 6.05 or otherwise, and shall be entitled to US dollar for US dollar recovery from the Seller, for Losses arising out of (i) fraud of the Seller, (ii) Excluded Obligations referred to in clause (ii) of the definition of “Excluded Obligations” in this Agreement, and/or (iii) fraud or willful and wanton misconduct of (A) GCM LLLP or any successor general partner which is an Affiliate of it, in respect of its obligations and duties as general partner of SPV, (B) Lakeshore Investments GP, LLC or any successor general partner which is an Affilaite of it, in respect of its obligations and duties as general partner of CPPIB Feeder, (C) CFIG Holdings, LLC or any successor general partner which is an Affiliate of it, in respect of its obligations and duties as general partner of GP Entity, and/or (D) GP Entity, or any successor general partner which is an Affiliate of it, in respect of its obligations and duties as general partner of Newco Subsidiary, in each case of this clause (iii) to the extent resulting in a Loss to the SPV.

(b) SPV. Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.02 to the contrary, the SPV shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees pursuant to Section 6.02 to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds an amount equal to $173,327,307. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.05(b), the Seller Indemnitees shall not be subject to any limitation pursuant to this Section 6.05 or otherwise, and shall be entitled to US dollar for US dollar recovery from SPV, for Losses arising out of fraud or willful and wanton misconduct by the SPV which directly results from any act or omission of SPV taken at the written direction of CPPIB.

Section 6.06 Determination of Damages. With respect to each indemnification obligation contained in this Article VI, all Losses shall be net of any third-party insurance and indemnity proceeds that are actually obtained by the Indemnified Party in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification, less all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with obtaining such insurance proceeds or third-party recovery (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and any deductible) and less any Taxes incurred in respect of the amounts so recovered from any insurer or third party (it being agreed that if third-party insurance or indemnification proceeds in respect of such facts are recovered by the Indemnified Party subsequent to the Indemnifying Party’s making of an indemnification payment in satisfaction of its applicable indemnification obligation, such proceeds less all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with obtaining such insurance proceeds or third-party recovery (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and any deductible) and less any Taxes incurred in respect of the amounts so recovered from any insurer or third party shall be promptly remitted to the Indemnifying Party to the extent of the indemnification payment made). Each Party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses. If an Indemnifying Party makes any payment for any Losses suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses and with respect to the claim giving rise to such Losses.

Section 6.07 Exclusive Remedy. The rights provided in this Article VI shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for each Party with respect to any and all Losses asserted against, incurred, sustained or suffered by such Party as a result of, arising out of or relating to any breach or violation of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.07 shall limit in any way any remedy at law or equity to which a Party may be entitled with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to the extent such breach constitutes fraud.

Article VII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.01 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the Parties agrees to pay the expenses incurred by it in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction, including the fees and expenses of counsel to such Party, save that this section shall not prejudice the right of any party to seek to recover its costs in any litigation or dispute resolution procedure which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

Section 7.04 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective, as soon as reasonably practicable, the Transaction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties shall from time to time execute and deliver all such further documents and do all acts and things as the other Party may reasonably require to effectively carry out or better evidence or perfect the full intent and meaning of this Agreement.

Section 7.05 No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered contemporaneously herewith, and notwithstanding the fact that any Party may be a partnership or limited liability company, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, each Party covenants, agrees and acknowledges that (a) no Person other than the Parties shall have any obligation hereunder and (b) no recourse under this Agreement or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith shall be had against any former, current or future direct or indirect equityholders, controlling Persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, agents, attorneys or other representatives of such Party, or any of its successors or assigns, or any former, current or future direct or indirect equityholders, controlling Persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, agents, attorneys or other representatives or successors or assignees of any of the foregoing (each, a “Related Party” and, collectively, the “Related Parties”), whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable Law, it being agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any Related Party for any obligations of Seller or the SPV, as the case may be, or any of its successors or permitted assigns under this Agreement or any documents or instrument delivered in connection herewith or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith or for any claim (whether at law or equity, in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation, in each case except to the extent of any liability or obligation of a Person pursuant to the terms of a Transaction Document to which it is a party.

Section 7.06 Complete Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents, constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) CPPIB is an express intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement and may directly enforce the rights of the SPV hereunder and (ii) the Related Parties are express intended third party beneficiaries of Article VI and Section 7.05. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the SPV (a) shall promptly provide to CPPIB copies of all and any notices received by it under or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions, (b) shall comply with any direction given by CPPIB in relation to consents, approvals, variations, waivers, compromises, releases or actions to be taken by SPV under this Agreement to the extent in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and (c) shall not give any consent, approval, variation, waiver, compromise or release, or take any action under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of CPPIB as may be required by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Parties agree that CPPIB may give any consent, approval, variation, waiver, compromise or agreement or take any action which may be given or taken by SPV under this Agreement and that any such action shall be as effective as if taken by the SPV itself. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall require any Party to, or cause any GCM Entity or GCM Fund to, take or fail to take any action which would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the duties of a GCM Entity to a GCM Fund provided that the foregoing provisions of this sentence shall be without prejudice to, and shall not in any way restrict, limit or otherwise affect any of the covenants contained in Articles II and/or V of this Agreement.

Section 7.07 Assignment. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, neither this Agreement nor any interest herein is assignable by any of the Parties or any other Person without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, CPPIB shall have the right to assign its third party beneficiary rights herein to any permitted transferee in a Transfer (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) made in compliance with the Partnership Agreement.

Section 7.08 Interpretation. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the words “hereof,” “herein,” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement, together with any Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement, as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation” (except to the extent the context otherwise provides). The terms defined in the singular shall have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice versa. References herein to a specific Article, Section, subsection or Schedule shall refer, respectively, to Articles, Sections, subsections or Schedules to this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated. Unless otherwise expressly indicated herein, any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including in the case of agreements or instruments by waiver or consent and in the case of statutes by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. References to any Person herein shall be deemed to include the heirs, personal representatives, successors and permitted assignees of such Person. References to a “third party” in this Agreement shall, in relation to a Party, be deemed to exclude any Related Party of that Party. All accounting terms have the meanings given to them by United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. Captions contained in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit or extend the scope or intent of this Agreement or any provision hereof. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. For the purposes of determining whether SPV is aware or has knowledge of any fact, matter or circumstance, there shall only be taken into account such facts, matters or circumstance which the Relevant Persons have actual knowledge of at the relevant time. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “Relevant Persons” shall mean Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx and any replacement or successor investment professional employed or engaged by CPPIB that monitor CPPIB’s indirect investment in the Acquired Assets.

Section 7.09 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law. Upon the determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect their original intent as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that Transaction is fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 7.10 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge that there would be no adequate remedy at law if any Party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, and accordingly agree that each Party, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of any other Party under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement without the necessity of posting any bond or establishing that monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy. Any remedy under this Section 7.10 is subject to certain equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings therefor may be brought.

Section 7.11 Waiver of Jury Trial; Arbitration; Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST IT IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

(b) Except as set forth in this Section 7.11, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof or concerning the provisions of this Agreement or their application to any state of facts or the rights or equities of any of the Parties hereto shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration conducted in English by a panel of three arbitrators in New York City, New York, U.S.A., in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, as amended from time to time, or any successor thereto (the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Section 7.11, under which such arbitration is invoked. One arbitrator shall be selected by Seller and one arbitrator shall be selected by SPV in accordance with the AAA Rules, and such arbitrators shall jointly select the third arbitrator who shall chair the tribunal. The arbitrators shall be reasonably familiar with the operations of private investment funds. The parties shall have the right of limited pre-hearing discovery, in accordance with the U.S. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as then in effect, for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days.
