(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the conditions to Purchase set forth in ARTICLE III), the Transferor hereby agrees to (i) sell, transfer and otherwise convey (collectively, “Sell” and any such sale, transfer and/or other conveyance, a “Sale”), from time to time, to the Purchaser, without recourse (except to the extent specifically provided herein), and the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase, all right, title and interest of the Transferor (whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and wherever located) in and to certain Sale Portfolio designated by the Transferor and (ii) transfer, or cause the deposit into, the Collection Account of all Available Collections received by the Transferor on account of any Sale Portfolio hereunder on and after the Purchase Date with respect to such Sale Portfolio, in each case, within two (2) Business Days of the receipt thereof. The Transferor hereby acknowledges that each Sale to the Purchaser hereunder is absolute and irrevocable, without reservation or retention of any interest whatsoever by the Transferor.

(b) The Transferor shall on any Business Day prior to a Transferor Termination Event (each a “Purchase Date”) execute and deliver to the Purchaser a proposed Loan Assignment identifying the Sale Portfolio to be Sold by the Transferor to the Purchaser on such Purchase Date. From and after such Purchase Date, such Sale Portfolio shall be deemed to be listed on Schedule I hereto and constitute part of the Sale Portfolio hereunder.

(d) On and after each Purchase Date hereunder and upon payment of the Purchase Price therefor, the Purchaser shall own the Sale Portfolio Sold by the Transferor to the Purchaser on such Purchase Date, and the Transferor shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership and shall not claim any ownership interest in such Sale Portfolio.

(e) Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Sale and Purchase of the Sale Portfolio under this Agreement shall be without recourse to the Transferor; it being understood that the Transferor shall be liable to the Purchaser for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by the Transferor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all of which obligations are limited so as not to constitute recourse to the Transferor for the credit risk of the Obligors.

(f) The Purchaser and any assignee of the Purchaser shall have the funding obligations to Obligors pursuant to the terms of the applicable Underlying Instrument for Delayed Draw Loan Assets and any other obligation or liability to Obligors required of the Purchaser or such assignee as lender of record. The Purchaser and any assignee of the Purchaser shall not have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or client of the Transferor (including any obligation to perform any obligation of the Transferor, including with respect to any other related agreements) in respect of the Sale Portfolio other than those obligations and liabilities set forth in the preceding sentence. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability pursuant to the terms of the applicable Underlying Instrument, no such obligation or liability is intended to be assumed by the Secured Parties and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sale of the Sale Portfolio by the Transferor to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or assumption by the Purchaser or the Secured Parties of any obligation of the Transferor, as lead agent, collateral agent or paying agent under any Loan Asset.

(g) In connection with each Purchase of Sale Portfolio hereunder, the Transferor shall cause to be delivered to the Collateral Custodian (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), no later than 4:00 p.m. on the related Purchase Date, an e-mailed copy of the duly executed original promissory notes of the Loan Assets (or, in the case of any Noteless Loan, a fully executed assignment agreement or credit agreement (as applicable)); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Transferor shall cause the Loan Asset Checklist and the other Required Loan Documents with respect to such Loan Assets to be in the possession of the Collateral Custodian not later than (A) five (5) Business Days if the Servicer or its Affiliate is the agent with respect to such Loan Asset and (B) otherwise, thirty (30) days in each case after the related Purchase Date as to any Loan Assets.

(h) In accordance with the Loan and Servicing Agreement, certain documents relating to the Sale Portfolio shall be delivered to and held in trust by the Collateral Custodian for the benefit of the Purchaser and its assignees, and the Purchaser hereby instructs the Transferor to cause such documents to be delivered to the Collateral Custodian. Such delivery to the Collateral Custodian of such documents and the possession thereof by the Collateral Custodian is at the will of the Purchaser and its assignees and in a custodial capacity for their benefit only.

(i) The Transferor shall provide all information, and any other reasonable assistance, to the Collateral Custodian and the Collateral Agent necessary for the Collateral Custodian and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to conduct the management, administration and collection of the Sale Portfolio Purchased hereunder in accordance with the terms of the Loan and Servicing Agreement.

(j) In connection with each Purchase of Sale Portfolio hereunder, the Transferor hereby grants to each of the Purchaser and its assigns, the Administrative Agent, the Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by the Transferor to account for the Sale Portfolio, to the extent necessary to administer the Sale Portfolio, whether such software is owned by the Transferor or is owned by others and used by the Transferor under license agreements with respect thereto; provided that, should the consent of any licensor of such software be required for the grant of the license described herein to be effective or for the Purchaser to assign such licenses to the Transferor or any successor, the Transferor hereby agrees that upon the request of the Purchaser or its assignees, the Administrative Agent, the Lender, the Collateral Custodian or the Collateral Agent, the Transferor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until the Collection Date and shall terminate on the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms. The Transferor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each of the Purchaser (and its assignees), the Administrative Agent, the Lender, the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Custodian and the Transferor (or any successor) has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for the Sale Portfolio and/or to recreate the related Loan Files.

(k) In connection with the Purchase by the Purchaser of Sale Portfolio as contemplated by this Agreement, the Transferor further agrees that it shall, at its own expense, indicate clearly and unambiguously in its computer files on or prior to each Purchase Date, and its financial statements, that such Sale Portfolio has been purchased by the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement.

(l) The Transferor further agrees to deliver to the Purchaser on or before each Purchase Date a computer file containing a true, complete and correct list of all Loan Assets to be Sold hereunder on such Purchase Date, identified by Obligor’s name and Outstanding Balance as of the related Cut-Off Date. Such file or list shall be delivered to the Purchaser as confidential and proprietary, and is hereby incorporated into and made a part of Schedule I to this Agreement, as such Schedule I may be supplemented and amended from time to time.

(m) The Transferor shall, at all times, continue to fulfill its obligations under, and in strict conformance with, the terms of all Underlying Instruments (other than with respect to funding obligations to Obligors pursuant to the terms of the applicable Underlying Instrument for Delayed Draw Loan Assets and any other obligations to Obligors or other third parties pursuant to the terms of the applicable Underlying Instrument required of the Purchaser as lender of record under such Underlying Instrument) related to any Sale Portfolio purchased hereunder, including without limitation any obligations pertaining to any Retained Interest.

(n) The Transferor and the Purchaser each acknowledge with respect to itself that the representations and warranties of the Transferor in Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 hereof and of the Purchaser in Section 4.3 hereof, and the covenants and agreements of the Transferor herein, including without limitation, in ARTICLE V and ARTICLE VI hereof, will run to and be for the benefit of the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) and the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), upon the occurrence of a Transferor Termination Event, may enforce directly (without joinder of the Purchaser when enforcing against the Transferor) the obligations of the Transferor or the Purchaser, as applicable, with respect to breaches of such representations, warranties, covenants and all other obligations, as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 2.2. Purchase Price.

The purchase price for each item of Sale Portfolio (other than Non-Levered Loan Assets) Sold to the Purchaser hereunder (the “Purchase Price”) shall be the fair market value of such Loan Asset. The Purchase Price for any Non-Levered Loan Asset Sold by the Transferor to the Purchaser on any Purchase Date shall be the fair market value thereof.

Section 2.3. Payment of Purchase Price.

(a) The Purchase Price for any Sale Portfolio Sold by the Transferor to the Purchaser on any Purchase Date shall be paid in a combination of: (i) immediately available funds; and (ii) if the Purchaser does not have sufficient funds to pay the full amount of the Purchase Price (after taking into account the Advances the Purchaser expects to receive pursuant to the Loan and Servicing Agreement), by means of a capital contribution by the Transferor to the Purchaser.

(b) The portion of such Purchase Price to be paid in immediately available funds shall be paid by wire transfer on the applicable Purchase Date to an account designated by the Transferor on or before such Purchase Date or by means of proper accounting entries being entered upon the accounts and records of the Transferor and the Purchaser on the applicable Purchase Date.

(c) In connection with each delivery of a Loan Assignment (other than with respect to any Non-Levered Loan Asset), the Transferor hereunder shall be deemed to have certified, with respect to the Sale Portfolio to be Sold by it on such day, that its representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 are true, complete and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any representation and warranty that is already qualified by materiality, subject to the materiality standard set forth therein) on and as of such day, with the same effect as though made on and as of such day (other than any representation or warranty that is made as of a specific date), that no Event of Default has occurred or would result therefrom and no Unmatured Event of Default exists or would result therefrom.

(d) Upon the payment of the Purchase Price for any Purchase, title to the Sale Portfolio included in such Purchase shall vest in the Purchaser, whether or not the conditions precedent to such Purchase and the other covenants and agreements contained herein were in fact satisfied; provided that the Purchaser shall not be deemed to have waived any claim it may have under this Agreement for the failure by the Transferor in fact to satisfy any such condition precedent, covenant or agreement.

Section 2.4. Nature of the Sales.

(a) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Sale of the Sale Portfolio by the Transferor to the Purchaser hereunder be, and be treated for all purposes as an absolute and true sale by the Transferor (free and clear of any Lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance other than Permitted Liens) of such Sale Portfolio. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such Sale be deemed a pledge of the Sale Portfolio by the Transferor to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Transferor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Sale Portfolio is held to continue to be property of the Transferor, then the parties hereto agree that: (i) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be, and hereby is, a “security agreement” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC; (ii) the transfer of the Sale Portfolio provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by the Transferor to the Purchaser of a first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in all of the Transferor’s right, title and interest in and to the Sale Portfolio and all amounts payable to the holders of the Sale Portfolio in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including, without limitation, all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Controlled Accounts, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of the Sale Portfolio together with all of the other obligations of the Transferor hereunder; (iii) the possession by the Purchaser or the Collateral Agent (or the Collateral Custodian on behalf of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of Sale Portfolio and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be, subject to clause (iv), for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC; and (iv) acknowledgements from Persons holding such property shall be deemed acknowledgements from custodians, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under Applicable Law. The parties further agree in such event that any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Sale Portfolio, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority (subject only to Permitted Liens) under Applicable Law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Purchaser shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other Applicable Law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

(b) It is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the Sale Portfolio Sold by the Transferor to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute assets owned by the Purchaser and shall not be part of the Transferor’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Transferor under any bankruptcy or similar law.

(c) The Purchaser agrees to treat, and shall cause the Transferor to treat, for all purposes, the transactions effected by this Agreement as sales of assets to the Purchaser. The Transferor agrees to reflect in the Transferor’s financial records and to include a note in its publicly filed annual and quarterly financial statements indicating that: assets that have been sold hereunder are owned by the Purchaser and that while the Purchaser is consolidated in the financial statements of the Transferor, the creditors of the Purchaser have received ownership and/or security interests in such assets and such assets are not available to the creditors of the Transferor (or any creditors of its affiliates).

In the event of the occurrence of a Transferor Purchase Event, the Transferor will within ten (10) Business Days of the discovery by or notice (from any Person) to the Transferor of the Transferor Purchase Event, (i) purchase each Loan Asset hereunder which is affected by or related to such Transferor Purchase Event from the Purchaser, and the Transferor shall pay to the Purchaser (by means of a deposit to the Collection Account) the Repurchase Price of such Loan Asset as of the date of the purchase thereof from the Purchaser or (ii) with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 6.2, substitute for such Loan Asset, a Substitute Eligible Loan Asset. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Transferor to purchase the Loan Assets or substitute a Substitute Eligible Loan Asset for the Loan Assets which are affected by or related to such Transferor Purchase Event is not intended to, and shall not, constitute a guaranty of the collectability or payment of any Loan Asset which is not collected, not paid or uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or financial inability to pay of the related Obligor. Upon deposit in the Collection Account of the Repurchase Price for any Loan Asset purchased by the Transferor, the Purchaser shall, automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer, assign and set over such Loan Asset to the Transferor, without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind, except as to the absence of Liens, charges or encumbrances created by or arising solely as a result of actions of the Purchaser or the Collateral Agent. Such Sale shall be a sale outright, and not for security, of all the right, title and interest of the Purchaser, in, to and under such Loan Asset and all future monies due or to become due with respect thereto, the Related Collateral, all Proceeds of such Loan Asset and recoveries related thereto, all rights to security for such Loan Asset and all Proceeds and products of the foregoing. The Purchaser shall (and shall request the Collateral Agent to), at the sole expense of the Transferor, execute such documents and instruments of transfer as may be prepared by the Transferor and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Transferor in order to effect the transfer of such Loan Asset pursuant to this Section 6.1.

Section 6.2. Substitution of Loan Assets.

(a) The Transferor shall have the right, but not the obligation, subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser, in their sole discretion, to substitute one or more Eligible Loan Assets (“Substitute Eligible Loan Asset”) for a Loan Asset (each such act, a “Substitution”).

(b) The Substitution shall not occur unless the following conditions are satisfied as of the date of such Substitution:

(i) the Transferor has recommended to the Purchaser and the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Custodian) in writing that the Loan Asset to be replaced should be replaced (each, a “Replaced Loan Asset”);

(ii) no event has occurred, or would result from such Substitution, which constitutes an Event of Default and no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Substitution, which constitutes an Unmatured Event of Default or a Borrowing Base Deficiency; provided that a Borrowing Base Deficiency (and any Unmatured Event of Default arising therefrom) shall not impair the right of the Transferor to effect an otherwise permitted substitution as necessary to facilitate a cure of such Borrowing Base Deficiency (and any Unmatured Event of Default arising therefrom) so long as immediately after giving effect to such substitution and any other sale or transfer substantially contemporaneous therewith, such Borrowing Base Deficiency shall be cured, the Transferor shall cause a Substitute Eligible Loan Asset to be transferred to the Purchaser;

(iii) each Substitute Eligible Loan Asset is an Eligible Loan Asset on the date of Substitution;

(iv) all representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 shall be true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the date of Substitution (or, in the case of any representation and warranty that is already qualified by materiality, subject to the materiality standard set forth therein) (other than any representation and warranty that is made as of a specific date);

(v) no selection procedures adverse to the interests of the Purchaser, the Administrative Agent, the Lender or the other Secured Parties were utilized by the Transferor in the selection of the Loan Asset to be replaced by the Substitute Eligible Loan Asset. The Loan Assets were selected for sale, repurchase or substitution in a manner consistent with and pursuant to the change to policies and procedures or the Transferor; and

(vi) after giving effect to such substitution, each of the limitations on sales and substitutions set forth in Section 2.07(e) of the Loan and Servicing Agreement is satisfied (and such substitution pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) shall be deemed to be a sale under Section 2.07(a) of the Loan and Servicing Agreement, without duplication, for purposes of calculating compliance with Section 2.07(e) of the Loan and Servicing Agreement).

(c) In addition, in connection with such Substitution, the Transferor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Custodian the related Required Loan Documents as set forth in Section 2.1(g). On the date any such Substitution is completed, the Purchaser shall, automatically and without further action, release and shall transfer to the Transferor, free and clear of any Lien created pursuant to this Agreement, all of the right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under such Replaced Loan Asset, and the Purchaser shall be deemed to represent and warrant that it has the company authority and has taken all necessary company action to accomplish such transfer, but without any other representation and warranty, express or implied.

Section 6.3. Repurchase Limitations. The Transferor and the Purchaser agree that the Transferor and any Affiliate of the Transferor may repurchase any Sale Portfolio from the Purchaser only in the case of a repurchase or Substitution of any Sale Portfolio pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 or in an arm’s-length transaction for fair market value.

Section 8.2. Remedies.

(a) If a Transferor Termination Event has occurred, the Purchaser (and its assignees) shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise all of the rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction and other Applicable Law in respect thereto, which rights shall be cumulative.

(b) The Transferor agrees that, upon the occurrence of a Transferor Termination Event the Purchaser, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent shall have the right to:

(i) require the Transferor to, and the Transferor hereby agrees that it will at the Transferor’s expense and upon request of the Purchaser, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or any part of the Sale Portfolio as directed by the Purchaser, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent and make the same available at a place to be designated by the Purchaser, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent; and

(ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Sale Portfolio or any part thereof in one or more parcels at a public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s, the Purchaser’s or the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, or credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Purchaser, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Transferor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to the Transferor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Purchaser, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Sale Portfolio regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Purchaser, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

Section 8.3. Survival of Certain Provisions.

Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, the Transferor’s and the Purchaser’s representations, covenants and obligations set forth in Articles IV, V, VI, and VII, as applicable, create and constitute the continuing obligation of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Collection Date; provided, that the rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made or deemed made by the Transferor pursuant to Articles III and IV and the provisions of Section 6.1 and Section 6.2, the rights and obligations under ARTICLE VII, the indemnification provisions of ARTICLE IX and the provisions of Section 5.1, Section 10.1, Section 10.7, Section 10.8, Section 10.9, Section 10.11, Section 10.12, Section 10.13 and Section 10.16 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1. Indemnification by the Transferor.

(a) Without limiting any other rights which the Purchaser, any assignee of the Purchaser or any such Persons’ respective shareholders, officers, employees, agents, or Affiliates (each an “Indemnified Party”) may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Transferor hereby agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Party from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims, and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing, being collectively referred to as, “Indemnified Amounts”), awarded against or incurred by such Indemnified Party or other non-monetary damages of any such Indemnified Party or any of them arising out of or as a result of this Agreement excluding, however, any such amounts resulting solely from (x) any gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Indemnified Party as determined in a court of competent jurisdiction by final non-appealable judgment or (y) the uncollectability of any Loan Asset due to the Obligor’s failure to pay any amounts due under the applicable loan agreement in accordance with its terms.

(b) Any Indemnified Amounts shall be paid by the Transferor to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Indemnified Party, within two (2) Business Days following receipt by the Transferor of the Administrative Agent's written demand therefor (and the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amounts).

(c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.1 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then the Transferor shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Transferor on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(d) If the Transferor has made any indemnity payments to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.1 and such Indemnified Party thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, such Indemnified Party will promptly repay such amounts collected to the Transferor, without interest.

(e) Indemnified under this Section 9.1 shall be in an amount necessary to make the Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any Tax consequences to the Indemnified Party of the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder, including the effect of such Tax or refund on the amount of Tax measured by net income or profits that is or was payable by the Indemnified Party.

(f) The obligations of the Transferor under this Section 9.1 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, the Purchaser, the Account Bank or the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

(g) Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall not be payable from the Sale Portfolio.

Section 9.2. Assignment of Indemnities.

The Transferor acknowledges that, pursuant to the Loan and Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser shall assign its rights of indemnity granted hereunder to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Upon such assignment, (a) the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have all rights of the Purchaser hereunder and may in turn assign such rights, and (b) the obligations of the Transferor under this ARTICLE IX shall inure to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Transferor agrees that, upon such assignment, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may enforce directly, without joinder of the Purchaser, the indemnities set forth in this ARTICLE IX.

ARTICLE X.
