Any determination to enter into a Future Funding Transaction shall be made in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion. If Buyer determines to enter into a Future Funding Transaction, upon Buyer’s satisfaction in its good faith discretion that the Future Funding Transaction Conditions have been satisfied, Buyer shall advance the requested Future Funding Amount in accordance with clause (iii) below. If Buyer determines that the Future Funding Transaction Conditions have not been satisfied and does not advance the requested Future Funding Amount with respect to any such Future Funding Transaction, Seller shall promptly satisfy all future funding obligations with respect thereto as and when required pursuant to the related Purchased Asset Documents, together with the terms of this Agreement.
