Management by Members Management of the Company shall be vested in its members. The members shall have the exclusive right, power and authority to manage and operate the business and affairs of the Company and to authorize any act or transaction on behalf of the Company. The members may from time to time appoint and delegate authority to act on behalf of the Company to such officers as the members deem appropriate. Any deed, agreement or other instrument, whether or not for apparently carrying on in the usual way the business or affairs of the Company, shall be binding on the Company and may be relied upon by any person or entity which is supplied with such executed deed, agreement or other instrument, if the same is executed on behalf of the Company by a member.
Management by Manager i) The Member hereby elects Charter Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as CCH I, LLC) (“CCI”), or its successor-in-interest, as the Company’s manager (the “Manager”). CCI shall be the Manager until a simple majority of the Votes elects otherwise. No additional person may be elected as Manager without the approval of a simple majority of the Votes (for purposes of this Agreement, to the extent the context requires, the term “person” refers to both individuals and entities). Except as otherwise required by applicable law and as provided below with respect to the Manager’s board of directors (the “Board”), the powers of the Company shall at all times be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business, property and affairs of the Company shall be managed by, or under the direction of, the Manager. The Manager is a “manager” of the Company within the meaning of the Act. Any person appointed as Manager shall accept its appointment by execution of a consent to this Agreement. ii) The Manager shall be authorized to elect, remove or replace directors and officers of the Company, who shall have such authority with respect to the management of the business and affairs of the Company as set forth herein or as otherwise specified by the Manager in the resolution or resolutions pursuant to which such directors or officers were elected. iii) Except as otherwise required by this Agreement or applicable law, the Manager shall be authorized to execute or endorse any check, draft, evidence of indebtedness, instrument, obligation, note, mortgage, contract, agreement, certificate or other document on behalf of the Company without the consent of any Member or other person. iv) No annual or regular meetings of the Manager or the Members are required. The Manager may, by written consent, take any action which it is otherwise required or permitted to take at a meeting. v) The Manager’s duty of care in the discharge of its duties to the Company and the Members is limited to discharging its duties pursuant to this Agreement in good faith, with the care a director of a Delaware corporation would exercise under similar circumstances, in the manner it reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Company and its Members. vi) Except as required by the Act, no Manager shall be liable for the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company, including without limitation any debts, liabilities and obligations under a judgment, decree or order of a court, solely by reason of being a manager of the Company.

The Manager accepts such employment and agrees to provide or coordinate the provision of the non-investment advisory services specified above in this Section 3 for the compensation provided in Section 5. The Manager is not required at its own expense to provide non-investment advisory services to the Fund under this Agreement except as specified in this Section 3.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Acquiror shall give the Company prompt written notice: (i) of any breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could give rise to any breach or default) by any party to any Subscription Agreement known to Acquiror; (ii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any party to any Subscription Agreement with respect to any actual, potential, threatened or claimed expiration, lapse, withdrawal, breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Subscription Agreement or any provisions of any Subscription Agreement; (iii) of any amendment, waiver or modification to any Subscription Agreement entered into by Acquiror that such Party was permitted to make without the prior written consent of the Company in accordance with this Section 8.04(d), it being understood that such amendment, waiver or modification is not conditioned on delivery of such notice and (iv) if Acquiror does not expect to receive all or any portion of financing proceeds on the terms, in the manner or from the applicable PIPE Investors as contemplated by the Subscription Agreements.

The Advisor may not sell these shares while the Advisory Agreement is in effect, although the Advisor may transfer such shares to Affiliates. The restrictions included above shall not apply to any Equity Shares, other than the Equity Shares acquired through the Initial Investment, acquired by the Advisor or its Affiliates. The Advisor shall not vote any Equity Shares it now owns, or hereafter acquires, in any vote for the removal of Directors or any vote regarding the approval or termination of any contract with the Advisor or any of its Affiliates.

With respect to the portion of the investments of the Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock, bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the Sub-Advisor may select.
