Invested Capital Commitments.  From and after the Closing, except as required by Law (other than the Volcker Rule, in respect of which clause (c) of this Section 6.19 shall apply), with respect to each Fund set forth on Exhibit F that is a USAA Fund, Seller Parent hereby commits to cause its applicable Affiliate(s) not to withdraw any Invested Capital from such Fund below an amount equal to the minimum Invested Capital Amount set forth opposite such Fund’s name on Exhibit F under the column “USAA Capital Commitment” prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date (each such date, a “Commitment Period Expiration Date”); provided,  however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to any Tax distributions or other incidental distributions generally applicable to investors in the relevant Funds.  Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, (a)(i) Seller and its Affiliates are permitted to withdraw any amounts from any Fund so long as Seller and its Affiliates substantially concurrently replace such amounts so that after such replacement the Invested Capital in such Fund equals the minimum Invested Capital Amount for such Fund, and (ii) nothing in this Section 6.19 shall bind any foundation sponsored by Seller or its Affiliates so long as, if such foundation withdraws any amounts from a Fund, Seller and its Affiliates substantially concurrently replace such amounts so that after such replacement the Invested Capital in such Funds equals the minimum Invested Capital Amount for such Fund, (b) on and after a Commitment Period Expiration Date with respect to any Fund or from and after the occurrence of a Fund Trigger Event with respect to any Fund, (x) the restrictions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be of no further force and effect with respect to such Fund and any Invested Capital in such Fund and (y) Seller and its Affiliates shall be permitted to withdraw all or a portion of the aggregate amount of any and all Invested Capital in respect of such Fund in accordance with such Fund’s withdrawal and redemption procedures upon delivering a notice of such withdrawal to Buyer and/or Adviser in respect thereof, and (c) Seller and its Affiliates shall be permitted to withdraw all or a portion of the aggregate amount of any and all Invested Capital with respect to any Fund set forth on Exhibit F in accordance with such Fund’s withdrawal and redemption procedures upon delivering a notice of such withdrawal to Buyer and/or Adviser in respect thereof solely to the extent necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Volcker Rule; provided, that (i) Seller and its Affiliates substantially concurrently reinvest any such withdrawn amount in one or more other Funds that are USAA Funds as of the Closing Date as selected by Buyer, (ii) if Buyer selects two or more such other Funds, then the allocation of such withdrawn amount to be reinvested by Seller and its Affiliates among such other Funds shall be determined by Buyer, (iii) if such other Fund was not listed on Exhibit F prior to such withdrawal, then the amount so reinvested in such other Fund shall be the minimum Invested Capital Amount for such other Fund and such other Fund shall automatically

12

 

be deemed listed on Exhibit F for all purposes under this Agreement (including the other provisions of this Section 6.19) without further action by the Parties, and (iv) if such other Fund was already set forth on Exhibit F prior to such withdrawal, then the minimum Invested Capital Amount for such other Fund set forth on Exhibit F shall be automatically increased by such amount reinvested pursuant to this clause (c) without further action by the Parties.
