Accordingly, the Advisor hereby exercises its right to extend the Advisory Agreement for the next successive ten-year term, which will commence immediately upon the expiration of the current term and continue through January 24, 2037, on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Advisory Agreement, subject to Section 6.6.
For the avoidance of doubt, this notice is timely and effective under Section 12.2, and all terms, conditions, rights, and obligations under the Advisory Agreement will remain in full force and effect during the extended term, subject to the Parties’ rights under Section 6.6 of the Advisory Agreement. This notice is delivered in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 13 of the Advisory Agreement.
For the further avoidance of doubt, nothing in this notice shall abrogate, modify, limit, waive, or otherwise affect in any way the rights, obligations, or agreements of the parties under (i) that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of August 26, 2025, by and among the Company and Advisor (the “Letter Agreement”), or (ii) that certain Amendment to Letter Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2025, by and among the Company and Advisor (the “Amendment”), each of which shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms, notwithstanding the exercise of the extension right set forth herein.
