 sole discretion, with Blackstone Credit & Insurance able to make corrective allocations should it determine subsequently that such corrections were necessary or advisable. If Blackstone enters into data services arrangements with portfolio companies and receives compensation from such portfolio companies for such data services, the Company will indirectly bear its share of such compensation based on its pro rata ownership of such portfolio companies. Blackstone is expected to receive compensation for such data services, which is expected to include a percentage of the revenues generated through any licensing or sale arrangements with respect to the relevant data, as well as fees, royalties and cost and expense reimbursement (including start-up costs and allocable overhead associated with personnel working on relevant matters (including salaries, benefits and other similar expenses)).
