Thanks Devon. Looks like a very preliminary draft which still needs a bit of tidying up. As a general comment, the agreement needs more specificity. We want to keep things simple and we want to clearly define the parameters of the representation, e.g., the agreement should pertain solely to the SOE Fund, the fee arrangement should be result-oriented and be based on amounts actually received pursuant to relevant agreements entered into with Investor Prospects, as such term is defined in the agreement), the exclusivity should be limited to an agreed term during which certain milestones must be achieved. Subject to any thoughts you guys might have and without going into the specifics of the draft, any agreement with Burnham or any other partner should be guided by the following principles: 1. the partnership and its exclusive nature pertains solely to the SOE Fund and will be subject to an agreed Term (see below) 2. the objective of Fund is to achieve closing within 3 months with at least US$300mm in committed capital (including non-U.S. subscriptions) 3. Term of exclusive partnership of 3 months, extendable for a further 2 months at the discretion of the GP (if viable leads are established within 3 months, GP shall have discretion to extend by 2 months in order to finalise subscription and to close the Fund). If closing is not achieved during the Term, exclusivity would terminate upon expiry of agreed Term whereupon GP would be entitled to work with other placement agents 4. GP will not bear any expenses (this is consistent with the arrangement we have with our other fundraising partners) 5. Fees to Burnham will consist of: (A) 20% of all management fees collected at 1.5% per annum, plus (B) 80% of all management fees collected in excess of 1.5% per annum (e.g., if an investor pay 2% per annum in management fees, Burnham will be entitled to receive 20% of the portion of management fees up to and including 1.5% + 80% of the portion of management fee between 1.5% and 2%); plus (C) 20% of carried interest, in each case, on the basis of the relevant management fees and carried interest actually received by GP and affiliates solely in relation to the SOE Fund from Investors successfully introduced by Burnham pursuant to the terms of governing agreements including the LPA and any side letters in relation thereto; For the avoidance of doubt, no fees shall be payable to Burnham for any investments made to any of the GP and/or its affiliates other funds unless otherwise agreed in writing. As you are aware, the placement fees unanimously approved by the BHR board is 20% of fees received by BHR (on the terms specified in the SOE Fund pitchbook) and such is the agreement we have tabled to our other fundraising partners. In addition to the board approved fees, we are prepared to offer higher fees for any management fees in excess of 1.5%. Timing is also of the essence on the SOE Fund and we want to work with Burnham and our other fundraising and placement partners in the most expeditious manner possible. A one-year exclusive arrangement with Burnham without specified milestones will put us in a difficult position if a few months later we are unable to achieve a first closing of the Fund. 6. "Covered Investors" as defined in the agreement (i.e., non-U.S. investor prospects) should be identified to GP prior to solicitation to avoid conflicts with our other fundraising partners (any multinational institutions with branches or presence outside of the U.S. that might be potential investors should be identified as well for the same reason). Ideally, Burnham should also provide a list of U.S. potential investors promptly upon entering into the partnership agreement We are procuring quotes from both U.S. and U.K. law firms for the SOE Fund to ensure that our fundraising exercises are conducted in a compliant manner and do not run afoul any applicable regulations.
