(a) Assignment, Transfer, Suspension or Early Termination of any Management or Advisory Agreement. Such G2 Partner shall not Knowingly take any action within his control or Knowingly fail to act in a manner within his control, without the prior written consent of the Buyer, if such action or failure to act (i) directly or indirectly amends, modifies, waives, assigns, transfers, suspends, fails to renew or extend the term of, or terminates any management or investment advisory agreement by and between the Company, on the one hand, and any FP Fund or GP Entity, on the other hand, listed on Schedule 4(a) hereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, each Investment Contract) and (ii) results, as of the time of such action or failure to act, with the passage of time or both, in the reduction of management or investment advisory fees payable to the Company under the agreements referred to in clause (i) of this Section 4(a) (a “Management Fee Reduction”). “Knowingly” shall mean, with respect to the subject Person, (i) as it relates to taking any action, such Person takes the action with actual knowledge following due inquiry that such action would reasonably result in the specified conduct and (ii) as it relates to failing to act, such Person intentionally fails to act with actual knowledge that such failure would reasonably result in the specified conduct.
