Upon the reasonable request by BAM, from time to time, for Client Information, the Company shall promptly provide such Client Information to BAM or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be.

For greater certainty, the Company will reimburse BAM only for the annual cash compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Investment Officer by BAM (not including the costs associated with any equity compensation or long-term incentive compensation received by them) that is proportionate to the time they have spent serving as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, respectively, of, and providing services to, the Company.

The Services Fees shall be approved by the Company. The Services Fees will be calculated and paid in accordance with this Article 4 and, for greater certainty, will not include a profit component for BAM.

BAM shall prepare an invoice for the Services Fees as soon as practicable following the end of the Quarter with respect to which such Services Fees are payable, but in any event no later than 15 calendar days following the end of such Quarter.

BAM and its Subsidiaries and associates (including the individuals serving as Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Investment Officer during the portion of time they act on behalf of BAM) and their respective directors, officers and employees shall have the right independently to engage in and receive the full benefits from business activities whether or not similar to or competitive with the affairs of the Company or its Subsidiaries, without consulting the Company.

BAM shall not be considered to be a fiduciary of the Company by reason of performing the BAM Services provided hereunder and will only have the obligations provided for expressly in this Agreement, and no other obligations, duties or standard of care shall be implied and no different standard shall be imposed by any Applicable Law (to the fullest extent permitted by the same) or otherwise in respect of such BAM Services and the Company agrees that it shall not seek to have any different standard imposed in respect hereof.

In the event of any conflict of interest between BAM, or any Subsidiary or associate thereof, and the Company in respect of any matter relating to this Agreement, a Party shall give prompt written notice to the other Parties prior to taking any action in respect of such matter setting forth the reason for such conflict. The Party receiving such notice shall take all such actions or make all such decisions relating to the matters giving rise to the conflict of interest, and for this purpose the Company shall be entitled to perform the applicable BAM Services itself or engage a third party to do so on its behalf, if necessary.
