SG DevCo agrees to pay on or before the date that is 30 days after receipt of such notice by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of SG Holdings an amount equal to the Actual Quarterly Expenses less the Estimated Quarterly Expenses. In the event the Estimated Quarterly Expenses exceed the Actual Quarterly Expenses, the shortfall will be deducted from the calculation of the Estimated Quarterly Expenses and Actual Quarterly Expenses for the succeeding fiscal quarter.

(c) Each Party agrees to maintain, and to cause its applicable Affiliates to maintain, books and records arising from or related to any Shared Services provided hereunder that are accurate and complete in all material respects during the term of each Shared Service and for a period of four (4) years following the termination or expiration of such Shared Service, including but not limited to accounting records and documentation produced in connection with the rendering of any Shared Service and in the calculation of any compensation payable pursuant hereto (the “Records”).

SG DevCo shall pay or cause to be paid the costs of conducting such audit, unless the results of an audit reveal an overpayment of the applicable audited Shared Service of 7.5% or more, in which case, SG Holdings shall pay or cause to be paid the lesser of the pro-rata portion of the audit fees for auditing such Shared Service or an amount equal to the amount of the overpayment. If the audit concludes that an overpayment or underpayment has occurred during the audited period, such payment shall be remitted by the Party or its Affiliate responsible for such payment to the other Party or its Affiliate to whom such payment is owed within thirty (30) days after the date such auditor’s written report identifying the overpayment or underpayment is delivered to the Party who is, or whose Affiliate is, responsible for such payment.

SG DevCo shall promptly deliver to SG Holdings an original receipt from the applicable taxing authorities evidencing the amount of tax withheld. Further, if SG Holdings is denied a foreign tax credit due to the failure of SG DevCo to provide the original receipt, SG DevCo shall pay to SG Holdingsa n additional amount, so that the amount that SG Holdings receives hereunder is the same that it would have received had withholding taxes not applied. SG DevCo shall provide SG Holdings with any cooperation or reasonable assistance as may be necessary to enable SG Holdings to claim exemption from, or a reduction in the rate of, any withholding taxes (including, without limitation, pursuant to any applicable double taxation or similar treaty), to receive a refund of such withholding taxes or to claim a tax credit therefor.

Section 7.15. Specific Performance. Each Party hereto agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement was not performed by the other Party in accordance with the specific terms hereof or was otherwise breached, and that money damages or legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Therefore, it is accordingly agreed that each Party hereto shall be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other Party, in any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief shall be granted in connection therewith. Each Party, in seeking an injunction, a decree or order of specific performance, shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection therewith and any such remedy shall be in addition and not in substitution for any other remedy to which each Party is entitled at law or in equity.

Section 7.16. Outside Activities. SG DevCo hereby acknowledges and agrees that one or more of the SG Holdings Parties have had, and from time to time may have, outside activities or interests that conflict or may conflict with the best interests of SG DevCo Parties or any of their Affiliates (collectively, “Outside Activities”), including (without limitation) investment opportunities or investments in, ownership of, or participation in entities that are or could be complementary to, or competitive with, the SG DevCo Parties or any of their Affiliates. SG DevCo hereby consents to all such Outside Activities, and none of the SG Holdings Parties shall be liable to the SG DevCo Parties or any of their Affiliates for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise), including without limitation any fiduciary duties, by reason of any such activities or of such Person’s participation therein. In the event that any of the SG Holdings Parties acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for both the SG DevCo Parties or any of their Affiliates, on the one hand, and any of the Holdings Parties, on the other hand, or any other Person, none of the SG Holdings Parties shall have any duty (contractual or otherwise), including without limitation any fiduciary duties, to communicate, present or offer such corporate opportunity to SG DevCo Parties or any of their Affiliates and, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shall not be liable to the SG DevCo Parties or any of their Affiliates for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise), including without limitation any fiduciary duties, by reason of the fact that any of the SG Holdings Parties directly or indirectly pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another Person, or does not present or communicate such opportunity to the SG DevCo Parties or any of their Affiliates, even though such corporate opportunity may be of a character that, if presented to the SG DevCo Parties or any of their Affiliates, could be taken by the SG DevCo Parties or any of their Affiliates, as applicable. SG DevCo hereby renounces any interest, right, or expectancy in any such opportunity not offered to it by the SG Holdings Parties to the fullest extent permitted by law. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 7.16 shall not limit in any respect the provisions of ‎Section 4.02 of this Agreement.
