Assumption and Retention of Liabilities; Related Assets (a) As of the Distribution Date, except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, EWS shall, or shall cause one or more members of the EWS Group to, assume or retain and EWS hereby agrees to pay, perform, fulfill and discharge, in due course in full (i) all Liabilities under all EWS Benefit Plans (provided, that as between EWS and SNI, SNI shall be responsible for certain of those Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of this Agreement), (ii) all Liabilities with respect to the employment, retirement, service, termination of employment or termination of service of all EWS Employees, Former EWS Employees, their dependents and beneficiaries and other service providers (including any individual who is, or was, an independent contractor, temporary employee, temporary service worker, consultant, freelancer, agency employee, leased employee, on-call worker, incidental worker, or nonpayroll worker of any member of the EWS Group or in any other employment, non-employment, or retainer arrangement or relationship with any member of the EWS Group), in each case to the extent arising in connection with or as a result of employment with or the performance of services for any member of the EWS Group, and (iii) any other Liabilities expressly assumed by or retained by EWS or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates under this Agreement. For purposes of clarification and the avoidance of doubt, (x) the Liabilities assumed or retained by the EWS Group as provided for in this Section 2.01(a) are intended to be EWS Liabilities as such term is defined in the Separation Agreement, and (y) the Parties intend that such Liabilities assumed or retained by the EWS Group include the retirement benefits and health and welfare plan benefits under the EWS Benefit Plans for all EWS Employees, Former EWS Employees, their dependants, beneficiaries, alternate payees and surviving spouses.
Labor Agreements and Actions; Employee Compensation (a) Neither the Company nor the Subsidiary is bound by or subject to (and none of its assets or properties is bound by or subject to) any written or oral, express or implied, contract, commitment or arrangement with any labor union other than those provisions of general agreements between the Federation of Labor Unions (the “Histadrut”) and the Coordination Bureau of Economic Organizations which may be applicable to certain classes of employees by virtue of extension orders, and no labor union has requested or has sought to represent any of the employees, representatives or agents of the Company or the Subsidiary. There is no strike or other labor dispute involving the Company or the Subsidiary pending, or to the best knowledge of the Company, that is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor is the Company aware of any labor organization activity involving the Company or the Subsidiary. The Company is not aware that any officer or key employee, or that any group of key employees, intends to terminate their employment with the Company or the Subsidiary, nor does the Company or the Subsidiary have a present intention to terminate the employment of any of the foregoing. Schedule 2.24 sets forth the names of each of the Company’s and the Subsidiary’s employees and consultants. The Company and the Subsidiary are or at the Closing will be a party to an employment agreement with each employee of the Company and the Subsidiary, as applicable. The employment of each officer and employee of the Company or the Subsidiary is terminable at the will of the Company or the Subsidiary, subject to the payment of severance and other payments as provided by law and/or pursuant to any applicable employment agreements. The Company and the Subsidiary have complied in all material respects with all applicable laws related to employment. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.24(a) below, the Company and the Subsidiary are not parties to or bound by any currently effective employment deferred compensation agreement, bonus plan, incentive plan, profit sharing plan, retirement agreement, or other employee compensation agreement. Schedule 2.24(a) contains a list of all written and material oral promises, agreements, arrangements and understandings, with officers, directors, employees and consultants (other than attorneys and accountants) of the Company and the Subsidiary, which are presently in effect, detailing the name, title or position, annual salary/compensation (including bonuses, commissions, and deferred compensation), pensions (including those required by all applicable laws), retirement benefits, company cars, profit sharing, and any interests in any incentive compensation plan. A copy of the written (and a summary description of any material oral) agreements described in this Section 2.24 was delivered to Wellington prior to the date hereof. The severance pay to the employees of the Company and the Subsidiary is fully funded or provided for in the Financial Statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principals. All liabilities of the Company in connection with its employees (excluding illness pay and advance notice of termination) were adequately accrued in the Financial Statements and the Company is not aware of any circumstance whereby any employee might demand any claim for compensation on termination of employment beyond the amount of statutory or contractual severance pay to which such employee may be entitled. All obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary with respect to statutorily required severance payments have been fully satisfied or have been funded by contributions to appropriate insurance funds.
Organizational Expenses; Liabilities of the Holders (a) The Servicer shall pay organizational expenses of the Issuer as they may arise.
Employee Liabilities All Liabilities with respect to employees which -------------------- relate primarily to the Company Business.
Assets and Liabilities Belonging to Series or Class (a) Separate and distinct records shall be maintained by the Trust for each Series. All consideration received by the Trust for the issue or sale of Shares of a particular Series, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be, shall be held in such separate and distinct records (directly or indirectly, including through a nominee or otherwise) and accounted for in such separate and distinct records separately from the other assets of the Trust and of every other Series and may be referred to herein as “assets belonging to” that Series. The assets belonging to a particular Series shall belong to that Series for all purposes, and to no other Series, subject only to the rights of creditors of that Series. In addition, any assets, income, earnings, profits or funds, or payments and proceeds with respect thereto, which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series shall be allocated by the Trustees between and among one or more of the Series in such manner as the Trustees deem fair and equitable. If there are Classes of Shares within a Series, the assets belonging to the Series shall be further allocated to each Class in the proportion that the “assets belonging to” the Class (calculated in the same manner as with determination of “assets belonging to” the Series) bears to the assets of all Classes within the Series. Each such allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all Series and Classes for all purposes, and such assets, income, earnings, profits or funds, or payments and proceeds with respect thereto shall be assets belonging to that Series or Class, as the case may be. The assets belonging to a particular Series and Class shall be so recorded upon the books of the Trust and shall be held by the Trustees in trust for the benefit of the holders of Shares of that Series or Class, as the case may be.
Litigation and Contingent Liabilities No litigation (including derivative actions), arbitration proceeding or governmental investigation or proceeding is pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against any Loan Party which might reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in Schedule 9.6. Other than any liability incident to such litigation or proceedings, no Loan Party has any material contingent liabilities not listed on Schedule 9.6 or permitted by Section 11.1.
Compensation; Allocation of Costs and Expenses In full consideration of the provision of the services of the Administrator, the Company shall reimburse the Administrator for the costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations and providing personnel and facilities hereunder, it being understood and agreed that, except as otherwise provided herein or in that certain Investment Advisory Agreement, by and between the Company and the Administrator (the Administrator, in its capacity as adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the “Adviser”), as amended from time to time (the “Advisory Agreement”), the Administrator shall be solely responsible for the compensation of its employees and all overhead expenses of the Administrator (including rent, office equipment and utilities).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company will bear its allocable portion of the costs of the compensation, benefits and related administrative expenses (including travel expenses) of the Company’s officers who provide operational and administrative services hereunder, their respective staffs and other professionals who provide services to the Company (including, in each case, employees of the Adviser or an affiliate) who assist with the preparation, coordination, and administration of the foregoing or provide other “back office” or “middle office” financial or operational services to the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall reimburse the Adviser (or its affiliates) for an allocable portion of the compensation paid by the Adviser (or its affiliates) to such individuals (based on a percentage of time such individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to the business affairs of the Company and in acting on behalf of the Company). For the avoidance of doubt, the Adviser shall be solely responsible for any placement or “finder’s” fees payable to placement agents engaged by the Company or its affiliates in connection with the offering of securities by the Company.
Indemnification; Contribution (a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its respective officers and directors, and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and any agents, representatives or advisers thereof against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and reasonable costs of investigation) incurred by such party pursuant to any actual or threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or a preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances then existing) not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of any United States federal, state or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company and relating to action required of or inaction by the Company in connection with any such registration except in each case insofar as the same arise out of or are based upon, any such untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with written information with respect to the Holders furnished in writing to the Company by the Holders or their counsel expressly for use therein. In connection with an Underwritten Offering, the Company shall indemnify the underwriters thereof, their officers, directors and agents and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders.
Assets and Liabilities of Series All consideration received by the Trust for the issue or sale of Shares of a particular Series, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof (including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be), shall be held and accounted for separately from the assets of every other Series and are referred to as "assets belonging to" that Series. The assets belonging to a Series shall belong only to that Series for all purposes, and to no other Series, subject only to the rights of creditors of that Series. Any assets, income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, funds, or payments which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series shall be allocated by the Trustees between and among one or more Series as the Trustees deem fair and equitable. Each such allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all Series for all purposes, and such assets, earnings, income, profits or funds, or payments and proceeds thereof shall be referred to as assets belonging to that Series. The assets belonging to a Series shall be so recorded upon the books of the Trust, and shall be held by the Trustees in trust for the benefit of the Shareholders of that Series. The assets belonging to a Series shall be charged with the liabilities of that Series and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable to that Series, except that liabilities and expenses allocated solely to a particular Class shall be borne by that Class. Any general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves of the Trust which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series or Class shall be allocated and charged by the Trustees between or among any one or more of the Series or Classes in such manner as the Trustees deem fair and equitable. Each such allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all Series or Classes for all purposes. Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the right of the Trustees to allocate general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves as herein provided, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Series shall be enforceable against the assets of such Series only, and not against the assets of any other Series. Notice of this contractual limitation on liabilities among Series may, in the Trustees' discretion, be set forth in the certificate of trust of the Trust (whether originally or by amendment) as filed or to be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the Delaware Act, and upon the giving of such notice in the certificate of trust, the statutory provisions of Section 3804 of the Delaware Act relating to limitations on liabilities among Series (and the statutory effect under Section 3804 of setting forth such notice in the certificate of trust) shall become applicable to the Trust and each Series. Any person extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against any Series may look only to the assets of that Series to satisfy or enforce any debt, with respect to that Series. No Shareholder or former Shareholder of any Series shall have a claim on or any right to any assets allocated or belonging to any other Series.
