Closing and Termination 26 4.1 Closing Date.........................................................................26
Liquidation and Termination On dissolution of the Company, the Manager shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more Persons as liquidator. The liquidators shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final Distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Company expense. Until final distribution, the liquidators shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Manager. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidators are as follows:
(a) as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidators shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;
(b) the liquidators shall cause the notice described in the Act to be mailed to each known creditor of and claimant against the Company in the manner described thereunder;
(c) the liquidators shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds, or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidators may reasonably determine): first, all expenses incurred in liquidation; and second, all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company;
(d) all remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members (i) first to the Class B Unitholders, in an amount equal to their respective Class B Preferred Return Base Amount plus all outstanding an accrued Class B Preferred Return Amount, pro rata based on their Class B Units, and then (ii) the balance to the Class A Unitholders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests at the end of the Taxable Year during which the liquidation of the Company occurs (or, if later, by ninety (90) days after the date of the liquidation). The distribution of cash and/or property to the Members in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.02 and Section 14.03 below constitutes a complete return to the Members of their Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Members of their interest in the Company and all the Company’s property. To the extent that a Member returns funds to the Company, such returning Member has no claim against any other Member for those funds; and
Redemption and Termination (a) The Board of Directors of the Company may, at its option, at any time prior to such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, redeem all but not less than all the then outstanding Rights at a redemption price of $.01 per Right, as such amount may be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date hereof (such redemption price being hereinafter referred to as the “Redemption Price”) and the Company may, at its option, pay the Redemption Price either in Common Shares (based on the “Current Market Price,” as defined in Section 11(d)(i) hereof, of the Common Table of Contents Shares as of a date determined by the Board) or cash. The redemption of the Rights by the Board of Directors of the Company may be made effective at such time, on such basis and with such conditions as the Board of Directors of the Company, in its sole discretion, may establish.
(b) Immediately upon the action of the Board of Directors of the Company ordering the redemption of the Rights (such action being adopted in the manner required by paragraph (a) above), evidence of which shall have been filed with the Rights Agent and without any further action and without any notice, the Rights will terminate and the only right thereafter of the holders of Rights shall be to receive the Redemption Price for each Right so held. Promptly after the action of the Board of Directors ordering the redemption of the Rights, the Company shall give notice of such redemption to the Rights Agent and the holders of the then outstanding Rights by mailing such notice to all such holders at each holder’s last address as it appears upon the registry books of the Rights Agent or, prior to the Distribution Date, on the registry books of the transfer agent for the Common Shares. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice of redemption will state the method by which the payment of the Redemption Price will be made. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates or Associates may redeem, acquire or purchase for value any Rights at anytime in any manner other than that specifically set forth in this Section 23 or in Section 24 hereof, and other than in connection with the purchase of Common Shares before the Distribution Date.
Dissolution and Termination (a) The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substitute Members or Additional Members. The Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon:

(ii) the sale, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets and properties of the Company;
(iii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware Act; or

If the Forward Purchase Price (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement dated as of May 18, 2018 between FPAC and Party A) is less than the Escrow Deposit, then Party A and Party B shall, no later than the Closing Date, deliver a direction letter (signed by each of them) to Escrow Agent to disburse the amount equal to the excess of the Escrow Deposit over the Forward Purchase Price to Party A on or promptly after the Closing Date. If the Merger Agreement has been terminated (as may be confirmed to Escrow Agent by Party A or Party B), then the Escrow Deposit will be immediately (and in any event, within one (1) Business Day) returned to Party A. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Party A shall have no right to object to any Direction Letter and any objection or other instruction which attempts to prevent or delay the release of any such funds pursuant to any Direction Letter shall be ignored by the Escrow Agent without any liability. Escrow Agent may rely upon the validity, accuracy, and content of the statements contained in any Direction Letter or confirmation delivered pursuant to this Section 3. Party B shall simultaneously provide a copy of any Direction Letter to Party A. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively presume that Party A contemporaneously received each Direction Letter received by Escrow Agent.
(ii) Escrow Agent shall disburse the Escrow Deposit, or any portion thereof, to Party A upon the joint written instruction of both Party A and Party B in substantially the form of Exhibit B annexed hereto (a “Joint Instruction”).

Each Designation of Authorized Representatives shall be signed by a Secretary, any Assistant Secretary or other duly authorized person of the named Party.

Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any Party or other person for refraining from acting upon any instruction for or related to the transfer or distribution of the Escrow Deposit if delivered to any other fax number or email address, including but not limited to a valid email address of any employee of Escrow Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Escrow Agent (i) shall have no obligation to take any action in connection with this Agreement on a non-Business Day and any action Escrow Agent may otherwise be required to perform on a non-Business Day may be performed by Escrow Agent on the following Business Day and (ii) may not transfer or distribute the Escrow Deposit until Escrow Agent has completed its security procedures.

(c) In the event any funds transfer instructions other than the Initial Standing Instructions are set forth in a permitted instruction from a Party or the Parties in accordance with this Agreement (any such additional funds transfer instructions, “Additional Standing Instructions” and, together with the Initial Standing Instructions, the “Standing Instructions”), Escrow Agent will confirm such Additional Standing Instructions by a telephone call-back or email confirmation to an Authorized Representative of such Party or Parties, and Escrow Agent may rely and act upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be that Authorized Representative. No funds will be disbursed until such confirmation occurs. Each Party agrees that after such confirmation, Escrow Agent may continue to rely solely upon such Additional Standing Instructions and all identifying information set forth therein for such beneficiary without an additional telephone call-back or email confirmation. Further, it is understood and agreed that if multiple disbursements are provided for under this Agreement pursuant to any Standing Instructions, only the date, amount and/or description of payments may change without requiring a telephone call-back or email confirmation.

(e) Escrow Agent, any intermediary bank and the beneficiary’s bank in any funds transfer may rely upon the identifying number of the beneficiary’s bank or any intermediary bank included in a funds transfer instruction provided by a Party or the Parties and, if applicable, confirmed in accordance with this Agreement. Further, the beneficiary’s bank in the funds transfer instructions may make payment on the basis of the account number provided in such Party’s or the Parties’ instruction and, if applicable, confirmed in accordance with this Agreement even though it identifies a person different from the named beneficiary.
