No Officer shall at any time serve as trustee in bankruptcy for any Affiliate of the Company.

Neither the Manager, nor any officer or employee, shall have any obligation hereunder or as a result of any duty expressed or implied by law to present business opportunities to the Company that may become available to Affiliates of such Person. None of any Member or any other Person shall have any rights by virtue of the Manager’s or any officer’s or employee’s or any Affiliates of such Manager, officer or employee duties as the Manager, officer or employee or this Agreement in any business ventures of the Manager or any officer or employee or any Affiliates of such Manager, officer or employee.

2.4 Members.

(a) A Person shall be admitted as a Member and shall become bound by, and shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by, the terms of this Agreement if such Person purchases or otherwise lawfully acquires any Unit, and such Person shall become the Record Holder of such Unit, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. A Person may not become a Member without acquiring a Unit.

(b) The name and mailing address of each Member or such Member’s representative shall be listed on the books and records of the Company maintained for such purpose by the Company or the Transfer Agent.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in the Delaware Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and the Members shall not be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member of the Company.

(d) Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement: (i) no Member shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of any Capital Contribution, except to the extent, if any, that distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon dissolution of the Company may be considered as such by law and then only to the extent provided for in this Agreement; (ii) no Member shall have priority over any other Member either as to the return of Capital Contributions or as to profits, losses or distributions; (iii) no interest shall be paid by the Company on Capital Contributions; and (iv) no Member, in its capacity as such, shall participate in the operation or management of the Company’s business, transact any business in the Company’s name or have the power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the Company by reason of being a Member.

(e) Any Member shall be entitled to and may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Company, including business interests and activities in direct competition with the Company. Neither the Company nor any of the other Members shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any such business interests or activities of any Member.

2.5 Membership Interests. The total of the Membership Interests in the Company shall be represented by a number of units (each a “Unit”) all of which shall have the same rights, powers and duties, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. All of the Units issued and outstanding at any time shall constitute 100% of the Membership Interests of the Company. The Units and corresponding Membership Interests of the Members shall be as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, which may be updated as set forth herein. The Manager may issue or sell Units for consideration as the Manager may deem adequate or necessary in its sole discretion. The Manager may issue Units to the officers, employees, vendors and agents of the Company for compensatory purposes in the amounts and subject to the terms and conditions as determined by the Manager in its sole discretion. The name and mailing address of each Member or such Member’s representative shall be listed on the books and records of the Company maintained for such purpose by the Company or the Transfer Agent.

2.6 Certificates and Representations of Units.

(a) Units may be recorded in book entry form or may be evidenced by certificates or electronic or crypto tokens or coins, or in any other form, as determined by the Manager as may be permitted by the Delaware Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless the Manager shall determine otherwise in respect of one or more classes of Units or as may be required by the Depository with respect to any specific class of Units, Units shall not be evidenced by physical Certificates. No Member shall have the right to require the Company to issue physical Certificates representing Units for any reason, except as may be required by applicable law. If the Manager authorizes the issuance of Units to any Person in the form of physical Certificates, the Company shall issue one or more Certificates in the name of such Person evidencing the number of such Units being so issued. Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any the Manager. If and to the extent a Transfer Agent has been appointed with respect to any class or series of Units, no Certificate representing such class or series of Units shall be valid for any purpose until it has been countersigned by the Transfer Agent; provided, however, that if the Manager elects to issue Units in global form, the Certificates representing Units shall be valid upon receipt of a certificate from the Transfer Agent certifying that the Units have been duly registered in accordance with the directions of the Company. Any or all of the signatures required on the Certificate may be by facsimile. If any officer or Transfer Agent who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature shall have been placed upon any such Certificate shall have ceased to be such officer or Transfer Agent before such Certificate is issued by the Company, such Certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Company with the same effect as if such Person were such officer or Transfer Agent at the date of issue. Certificates for any class or series of Units shall be consecutively numbered and shall be entered on the books and records of the Company as they are issued and shall exhibit the holder’s name and number and type of Units.

(b) If any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Company or the Transfer Agent, the appropriate officers on behalf of the Company shall execute, and the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Certificate evidencing the same number and class or series of Units as the Certificate so surrendered. The appropriate officers on behalf of the Company shall execute, and the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver, a new Certificate in place of any Certificate previously issued if the Record Holder of the Certificate: (i) makes proof by affidavit, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that a previously issued Certificate has been lost, destroyed or stolen; (ii) requests the issuance of a new Certificate before the Company has notice that the Certificate has been acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of an adverse claim; (iii) if requested by the Company, delivers to the Company a bond, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, with surety or sureties and with fixed or open penalty as the Company may direct to indemnify the Company and the Transfer Agent against any claim that may be made on account of the alleged loss, destruction or theft of the Certificate; and (iv) satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Company. If a Member fails to notify the Company within a reasonable time after he has notice of the loss, destruction or theft of a Certificate, and a Transfer of the Units represented by the Certificate is registered before the Company or the Transfer Agent receives such notification, the Member shall be precluded from making any claim against the Company or the Transfer Agent for such Transfer or for a new Certificate. As a condition to the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) reasonably connected therewith.

2.7 Legends.

(a) In the event the Units become certificated Units, any certificate representing Units shall be endorsed with the following legend, as well as with any legends as may be required by applicable federal and state securities laws:

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND NO INTEREST MAY BE SOLD, DISTRIBUTED, ASSIGNED, OFFERED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (A) THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS COVERING ANY SUCH TRANSACTION INVOLVING SAID SECURITIES, (B) THIS COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES SATISFACTORY TO THIS COMPANY STATING THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, OR (C) THIS COMPANY OTHERWISE SATISFIES ITSELF THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.

THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER OF THE UNITS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE REGISTERED HOLDERS OF THE UNITS OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE UNITS). SUCH AGREEMENT RESTRICTS THE TRANSFER OF UNITS AND GRANTS TO THE OTHER HOLDERS OF UNITS CERTAIN RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL UPON AN ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF THE UNITS. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.

BY ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH UNITS THE PERSON ACCEPTING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH AGREEMENT.

(b) Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legends shall also bear such legends, unless the Units represented thereby are no longer subject to the provisions of this Agreement or, in the opinion of the Company (with advice from counsel to the Company, as the Company may deem appropriate), the restrictions imposed under the Securities Act or state securities laws are no longer applicable, in which case the applicable legend (or legends) may be removed.

2.8 Record Holders. The Company shall be entitled to recognize the Record Holder as the owner of a Unit and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Unit on the part of any other Person, regardless of whether the Company shall have actual or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by law or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which such Units are listed for trading. Without limiting the foregoing, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity for another Person in acquiring and/or holding Units, as between the Company on the one hand, and such other Persons on the other, such representative Person shall be the Record Holder of such Units.

2.9 Initial Units. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Initial Member shall be issued one thousand Units which shall, as of such time, constitute all of the Membership Interests of the Company.

2.10 Voting.

(a) Each Unit shall have one vote on any matter submitted to the Members for a vote or any matter on which the Members are entitled to vote on hereunder or on which the Members are required to vote pursuant to the Delaware Act.

(b) In determining any action or other matter to be undertaken by or on behalf of the Company, each Member shall be entitled to cast a number of votes equal to the number of Units that such Member holds, with the power to vote, at the time of such vote. Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, or otherwise required by the Delaware Act, the taking of any action by the Company which required a vote of the Members as set forth above shall be authorized by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Units, subject to any approval of the Manager as required herein.

2.11 Removal or Replacement of the Manager. The Manager, as selected by the Initial Member, may only be removed or replaced by a vote of the Members holding a majority of the Units.

ARTICLE 3

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; CAPITAL ACCOUNT;

DISTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS

3.1 Capital Contributions. Persons seeking to become a member shall be required to purchase or acquire Units and make capital contributions in such forms and in such amounts and at such times as the Manager may require, if any, in its sole discretion (any, a “Capital Contribution”) whereupon a capital account for a new Member will be established, and, if applicable, accreted, in the amount of such Member’s Capital Contribution or based upon the fair market value of property contributed, and the new Member shall be issued a number of Units as determined by the Manager, and the Manager shall update Exhibit A attached hereto accordingly. The provisions of this Section 3.1 are solely intended for the benefit of the Members and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be construed as conferring any benefit upon any creditor of the Company (and no such creditor shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement). The Members shall have no duty or obligation to any creditor of the Company to make any contribution to the Company.

3.2 Capital Account

(a) There shall be established for each Member on the books of the Company a Capital Account in accordance with Section 704 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(b) At the close of each Fiscal Year, and at certain other periods, as in the case of a withdrawal, there shall be determined for each Member, such Member’s closing Capital Account which shall be determined by adjusting such Member’s opening Capital Account for such period, as the case may be as follows: Net Income or Net Loss of the Company will be allocated to all Members in proportion to their respective Membership Interests.

(c) In the event the Company is terminated during any period in accordance with ARTICLE 6, the closing Capital Accounts of the Members for such Fiscal Year then completed will be determined as of the date of termination of the Company in the manner provided in this Section 3.2.

(d) In the event that property (other than cash) is contributed (or deemed contributed pursuant to the provisions of Section 708 of the Code) by a Member to the Company, the computation of Capital Accounts shall be adjusted as follows:

(i) the contributing Member’s Capital Account shall be increased by the fair market value of the property contributed to the Company by the Member, net of liabilities taken or accrued by the Company in respect to such capital contributed; and

(ii) the adjustments required by Treas. Reg. Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(a) and 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) shall be made to such Member’s Capital Account.

(e) In the event that property is distributed (or deemed distributed pursuant to the provisions of Section 708 of the Code) by the Company to a Member, the following special rules shall apply:

(i) the Capital Account of the Member receiving a distribution shall be adjusted as provided in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss and deduction inherent in such property (that has not already been reflected in the Member’s Capital Account) would be allocated to such Member if there were a taxable disposition of such property for its fair market value on the date of distribution; and

(ii) the Capital Account of the Member receiving the distribution from the Company shall be charged with the fair market value of the property at the time of distribution (net of liabilities taken or accrued by such Member with respect to such property is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code).

(f) In the event the value of Company’s assets is adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Capital Accounts of all Members shall be adjusted simultaneously to reflect the aggregate net adjustment as if the Company recognized gain or loss equal to the amount of such aggregate net adjustment.

(g) For each Fiscal Period, items of income, deduction, gain, loss or credits shall be allocated for tax purposes among the Members in such manner as to reflect equitably amounts credited or debited to each Member’s Capital Account pursuant to this Section 3.2 for the current and prior Fiscal Year. Such allocation shall be made pursuant to the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code, and in conformity with Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) promulgated thereunder, or the successor provisions to such Section and Regulations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, there shall be allocated to the Members such gains or income as shall be necessary to satisfy the “qualified income offset” requirement of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

(h) In the event a Member withdraws part or all of its Capital Account from the Company, the Manager, in its sole discretion, may make a special allocation to said Member for federal income tax purposes of the net capital gains or losses recognized by the Company in such a manner as will reduce the amount, if any, by which such Member’s Capital Account differs from such Member’s federal income tax basis in such Member’s Membership Interest before such allocation.

(i) If all or a portion of a Membership Interest in the Company is Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the Membership Interest so transferred.

3.3 Compliance with Internal Revenue Code and Regulatory Allocations. All adjustments to the Capital Accounts and allocations of the taxable and economic elements of the Company shall comply with applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations, including Section 704 of the Internal Revenue Code and its corresponding Treasury Regulations, including, but not limited to, those respective to the following (the “Regulatory Allocations”): (a) qualified income offsets; (b) minimum gain chargebacks; (c) deductions attributable to nonrecourse debt; and (d) non-deductible expenditures. This Agreement shall be interpreted as if each such Regulatory Allocations, and all of the penultimate provisions of Section 704 and its corresponding Treasury Regulations and any other applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations, were expressly recited within this Agreement.

3.4 Distributions. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.5, the Company, in the sole discretion of the Manager, in the event there are Available Funds, may make distributions thereof (“Distributions”) to Members on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Members’ Membership Interests at any time. “Available Funds” means the Company’s gross cash receipts from operations, including the excess of Net Income, less the sum of: (1) payments of principal, interest, charges and fees pertaining to any of the Company’s indebtedness; (2) costs and expenses incurred in the conduct of the Company’s business; and (3) amounts reserved to meet the reasonable needs of the Company’s business. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Member may receive a Distribution to the extent that, after giving effect to the Distribution, all liabilities of the Company (other than to a Member on account of its Membership Interests and liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to specific property of the Company) exceed the fair market value of the assets of the Company (except that property that is subject to a liability for which the recourse of the creditors is limited to such property shall be included in the assets of the Company only to the extent the Fair Market Value of such property exceeds that liability) or, other than Distributions pursuant to Section 3.6, if such Distributions are likely to result in the estimated market value of all the Company’s assets being less than the aggregate outstanding principal balances of the Notes in the calendar year in which the Distributions pursuant to this Section 3.4 are made. In the event of a Distribution to a Member that would be deemed violative of applicable law, the applicable Member may be required to return such Distribution to the Company. Each distribution in respect of any Units shall be paid by the Company, directly or through the Transfer Agent or through any other Person or agent, only to the Record Holder of such Units as of the Record Date set for such distribution. Such payment shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the Company’s liability in respect of such payment, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such payment by reason of an assignment or otherwise.

3.5 Limitations on Distributions. Provided that the value of the Company’s real estate portfolio is at least 70% of outstanding amounts owned under the Notes, as reasonably determined by the Company, then the Company may make distributions to the Members as it determines, subject to the other terms and conditions herein. At any time that the value of Company’s real estate portfolio is less than 70% of outstanding amounts owned under the Notes, the Company shall not make any distributions to its members, other than distributions pursuant to Section 3.6 or as otherwise required by law.

3.6 Tax Distributions. Notwithstanding Section 3.4, within ninety (90) days of the end of each Fiscal Year, the Company may, at the discretion of the Manager, make a Distribution to each holder of Units out of any Available Funds of an amount equal to the excess of (A) the sum of (i) the product of (x) the amount of net income and gain taxable at ordinary tax rates allocated with respect to such Units (as shown on Schedule K-1 to the Company’s IRS Form 1065) for such Fiscal Year and all prior Fiscal Years and (y) the maximum marginal rate of federal, state and local income tax applicable to an individual subject to tax in the Bellevue, WA (the “Designated Jurisdiction”) with respect to such income or gain, (ii) the product of (x) the amount of net income and gain taxable at long-term capital gains rates allocated with respect to such Unit (as shown on Schedule K-1 to the Company’s IRS Form 1065) for such Fiscal Year and all prior Fiscal Years and (y) the maximum marginal rate of federal, state and local income tax applicable to an individual subject to tax in the Designated Jurisdiction with respect to such income or gain and, (iii) in the event of allocation by the Company of net income or gain taxable at a rate other than the ordinary or long-term capital gains rates contemplated in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the product of (x) the amount of such net income and gain taxable at such other rate allocated with respect to such Unit (as shown on Schedule K-1 to the Company’s IRS Form 1065) for such Fiscal Year and all prior Fiscal Years and (y) the maximum marginal rate of federal, state and local income tax applicable to an individual subject to tax in the Designated Jurisdiction with respect to such income or gain, over (B) the cumulative cash Distributions previously made with respect to such Units pursuant to this Section 3.6 and Section 3.4 during such Fiscal Year and all prior Fiscal Years. The determination of the tax rates to be used for purposes of the preceding sentence shall be made by the Manager in its good faith discretion after consulting with the Company’s tax advisors, taking into account among other things changes in applicable tax rates over the relevant period, the deductibility of state and local taxes and any limitations on the ability of an individual to deduct any items of expense or loss under United States federal income tax principles. For the avoidance of doubt, the references to “net income and gain” in clauses (A)(i)(x), (A)(ii)(x), and (A)(iii)(x) above shall mean that amount of such gross income and gain of the Company allocated with respect to such Units for all such Fiscal Years reduced by the gross amount of loss and deduction allocated with respect to such Units for all such Fiscal Years that is available as an offset to such income and gain. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Company may make a Distribution out of any available cash of the Company (as determined by the Manager) to each holder of Units as soon as practicable following the close of each Estimated Tax Period (each an “Estimated Tax Distribution”) of each Fiscal Year in amounts equal to the estimated tax liability of each holder of Units relating to such Estimated Tax Period (as estimated by the Manager in its good faith discretion after consulting with the Company’s tax advisors and based on the results of such quarter and using the methodology and assumptions described in the preceding sentences). Estimated Tax Distributions made during a Fiscal Year shall be treated as advances and shall reduce the Distributions otherwise distributable in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 3.6 for such Fiscal Year, and upon prior written notice, if the amount of Estimated Tax Distributions for a Fiscal Year exceed the amount otherwise distributable in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 3.6, the excess distributed to such Member shall be credited against and reduce Distributions that would otherwise be made to such Member pursuant to this Section 3.6 with respect to subsequent Fiscal Years, and if the amount of Estimated Tax Distributions for a Fiscal Year is less than the amount otherwise distributable in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 3.6, the Company may distribute the shortfall to the Members within sixty (60) days of the end of such Fiscal Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall not be available to a Member with respect to any guaranteed payment under Code Section 707(c) or any payment to a Member not in his, her or its capacity as a Member under Code Section 707(a). Distributions effected pursuant to this Section 3.6 with respect to each Unit shall be applied to, treated as included in, and reduce the next succeeding Distribution(s) (without double counting) to be made with respect to each such Unit pursuant to this Agreement as necessary to ensure that, over the period of time since such Unit was issued and outstanding, the aggregate amount distributed respect to each such Unit under this Agreement shall be equal to the amount which such Unit would have been distributed under this Agreement had there been no Distributions pursuant to this Section 3.6 and had this Section 3.6 not been part of this Agreement, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Manager.

3.7 Allocations. The Members acknowledge and agree that the Company’s compliance with the Treasury Regulations, as provided for in, or integrated by reference into, this Agreement, has the potential under certain circumstances to result in special Regulatory Allocations to the Capital Accounts that are not intended by the Members. If any Regulatory Allocations cause unintended and material net adjustments to the Capital Accounts, the Company shall attempt, based on the good faith determination of the Members and in a manner consistent with this Agreement, to restore the Capital Account balances that would have existed for all Members in the absence of the Regulatory Allocations. Any such restoration of Capital Account balances shall be achieved through additional and offsetting allocations of the Company’s Net Income and Net Losses, and such other elements as would be contemplated by the Treasury Regulations as elements of income, gain, profits, losses, expenses, deductions or other economic items (as applicable).

ARTICLE 4

LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

4.1 Liability of a Member. The liability of each Member shall be limited as provided in the Delaware Act and as set forth in this Agreement. No Member shall be obligated to restore by way of Capital Contribution or otherwise any deficits in its Capital Account (if such deficits occur).

4.2 Exculpation and Indemnification.

(a) No Protected Person shall be liable to the Company or the Manager or any other Member for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or by other Person with respect to the Company, including any negligent act or failure to act, except in the case of a liability resulting from such Protected Person’s own actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty, reckless disregard of duty or any intentional and material breach of this Agreement or conduct that is subject of a criminal proceeding (where such Protected Person has reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful). With the prior consent of the Manager, any Protected Person may consult with legal counsel and accountants with respect to Company affairs (including interpretations of this Agreement) and shall be fully protected and justified in any action or inaction which is taken or omitted in good faith, in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel or accountants. In determining whether a Protected Person acted with the requisite degree of care, such Protected Person shall be entitled to rely on written or oral reports, opinions, certificates and other statements of the directors, officers, employees, consultants, attorneys, accountants and professional advisors of the Company selected with reasonable care; provided, that no such Protected Person may rely upon such statements if it believed that such statements were materially false.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless, protect and defend each Protected Person against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, including reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses incurred in investigating or defending against any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or in enforcing a Protected Person’s right to indemnification under this Agreement, and any amounts expended in respect of settlements of any claims approved by the Manager (collectively, “Liabilities”), to which any Protected Person may become subject:

(i) by reason of any act or omission or alleged act or omission (even if negligent) arising out of or in connection with the activities of the Company;

(ii) by reason of the fact that it is or was acting in connection with the activities of the Company in any capacity or that it is or was serving at the request of the Company as a partner, shareholder, member, director, officer, employee, or agent of any Person;

unless, such Liability results from such Protected Person’s own actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty, reckless disregard of duty or intentional and material breach of this Agreement or conduct that is subject of a criminal proceeding (where such Protected Person has reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful). The termination of any proceeding by settlement, judgment, order, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, by itself, create a presumption that such Protected Person’s conduct constituted actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty, reckless disregard of duty or any material breach of this Agreement or the commission of a crime, except a judgment, order or conviction that expressly provides that such Protected Person’s conduct constituted actual fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, breach of fiduciary duty, reckless disregard of duty or any material breach of this Agreement or the commission of a crime.

(c) The Manager may, on behalf of the Company, reimburse (and/or advance to the extent reasonably required) each Protected Person for reasonable legal or other costs and expenses (as incurred) of such Protected Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any claim, lawsuit or other proceeding relating to any Liabilities for which the Protected Person may be indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.2 and for all costs and expenses, including fees, expenses and disbursements of attorneys, reasonably incurred by such Protected Person in enforcing the indemnification provisions of this Section 4.2; provided, that such Protected Person executes a written undertaking to repay the Company for such reimbursed or advanced costs and expenses if it is finally judicially determined that such Protected Person is not entitled to the indemnification provided by this Section 4.2. Upon any liquidation of the Company, such reimbursements or advancement of expenses shall be reimbursed by the Company to the Manager prior to any other distributions hereunder.

(d) The provisions of this Section 4.2 shall continue to afford protection to each Protected Person regardless of whether such Protected Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Protected Person became entitled to indemnification under this Section 4.2 and regardless of any subsequent amendment to this Agreement; provided, that, no such amendment shall reduce or restrict the extent to which these indemnification provisions apply to actions taken or omissions made prior to the date of such amendment.

(e) Any indemnification under this Section 4.2 or otherwise shall be paid out of and to the extent of the Company’s assets or insurance maintained by the Company for such purposes.

ARTICLE 5

ACCOUNTING; FINANCIAL AND TAX MATTERS

5.1 Accounting Basis. The Company shall use such method of accounting as may be determined by the Manager that is consistent with United States generally accepted accounting principles or such other accounting methods and conventions as the Manager may from time to time determine to be used in the preparation of the Company’s tax returns.

5.2 Tax Matters.

(a) The Manager is hereby designated the initial partnership representative for purposes of 6223 of the Code (“Partnership Representative”), and subject to the possible advice of the Company Accountants, is responsible for acting as the liaison between the Company and the Internal Revenue Service (“Service”). The Partnership Representative shall have the exclusive authority and discretion to make any elections required or permitted to be made by the Company under any provisions of the Code or any other applicable laws and has the sole authority under the Code to deal with the Internal Revenue Service regarding any audit of or assessment against the Company under the BBA to the exclusion of all Members. At any time during an audit by the Internal Revenue Service of the Company, the Manager shall have the authority to remove, with or without cause, the Partnership Representative and appoint a replacement Partnership Representative. The Partnership Representative shall be reimbursed by the Company for all out of pocket expenses, costs and liabilities expended or incurred by the Partnership Representative in acting as the Company’s Partnership Representative.

(b) The Manager may as soon as reasonably practicable after date hereof, undertake to identify a potential replacement Partnership Representative having credentials including experience and familiarity with matters of partnership taxation under the provisions of Subchapter K of the Code as well as with the mechanics and scope of the centralized partnership audit regime imposed by the BBA. The Partnership Representative may be, but is not required to be, a Member or the Company’s tax preparer, provided such candidate possesses the aforesaid credentials.

(c) Each of the Members consents to and agrees to become bound by all actions of the Partnership Representative, including any contest, settlement or other action or position which the Partnership Representative may deem proper under the circumstances. The Members specifically acknowledge, without limiting the general applicability of this Section 5.2, that the Partnership Representative will not be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company or any Member with respect to any action taken by it in its capacity as a Partnership Representative, except for bad faith, fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty. All reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Partnership Representative in such capacity will be considered expenses of the Company for which the Partnership Representative will be entitled to full reimbursement.

(d) The Partnership Representative shall, to the extent available and advisable, make a valid small partnership election for each taxable year of the Company. The Partnership Representative shall covenant in writing to undertake its function in such capacity in good faith and with reasonable diligence. The Manager is hereby authorized, but not required, to cause the Company to indemnify the Partnership Representative for acts or omissions in discharging said function except any that result from the Partnership Representative’s gross negligence or bad faith.

(e) Respective to any taxable year of the Company, reasonably in advance of the date on which a BBA small partnership election must be made for such taxable year, the Partnership Representative shall, as and if applicable, consult with the Company’s tax advisor, and, if the tax advisor so advises.

(i) The Partnership Representative shall determine on a timely basis that the Company is so qualified.

(ii) The Partnership Representative shall make a timely small partnership election for the Company for that taxable year.

In such event, the Partnership Representative shall provide prompt written notice to the Members that the Partnership Representative has done so.

(f) If, for any Company taxable year, the Partnership Representative determines that the Company cannot qualify for a small partnership election, the Partnership Representative shall, either independently or in consultation with the Company’s tax preparer, determine the advisability of making, and if so advisable shall notify the Manager and shall make a push-out election under BBA Section 6226(b).

(g) In connection with any BBA audit of the Company, the Partnership Representative shall resolve each issue in the audit only in accordance with the affirmative accession of the Manager to the advice of the Partnership Representative made, either independently or in consultation with the Company’s tax preparer, after appropriately articulating to it the issues involved and the dynamics of the impact upon the Company and the Members respective to any such proposed posture.

(h) If, in connection with a BBA audit, the IRS assesses a tax against the Company, the Partnership Representative, acting under BBA Section 6225(c), may require all of the Members, or Persons who were previously Members as to an applicable Reviewed Year but not as of an applicable Adjustment Year, and the Persons signing this Agreement as a condition to becoming a Member hereby agree in such case, to file amended tax returns for the Reviewed Year and to pay their share of such assessed tax for such applicable period, in proportion to the share of partnership income or loss ascribed to each for such year, or, as necessary, upon such substantially similar allocation basis as the former basis of allocation may under then existing circumstances be required to be modified to address in a case in which the obligated Person would not as of such an applicable Adjustment Year then be a Member. This provision shall survive each Person’s cessation as a Member of the Company or any amendment or termination of this Agreement for so long as a return of a Reviewed Year of the Company as to which any Person was a Member would be open to audit, and each Person signing this Agreement as a Member hereby agrees to indemnify the Company and the other Members from and against any amounts of assessed taxes as they would be otherwise obligated to pay in accordance with this Section 5.2, in a case in which such Person would not do so, as well as against all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs that would be incurred by the Company or such other one or more Members in the event undertakings, including legal proceedings, to enforce such obligation hereunder against such Person were commenced.

(i) The Manager reserves the authority to, at any time, and from time to time, consider adopting a prohibition against the Company’s admission of any Person as a Member whose admission would disqualify the Company from making a small partnership election. In such a case, the Company shall admit no Person as a Member if such Person’s admission as a Member would disqualify the Company from making a valid small partnership election. Upon the Manager’s resolution to prohibit admission of such Persons as would disqualify the Company’s election as a small partnership, no Member shall Transfer all or any part of a Member’s Membership Interests in the Company to any Person in a case in which such Transfer would disqualify the Company from making a small partnership election, and in such event, the Manager shall provide notice thereof to all Members.

(j) Each Person becoming a Member hereby acknowledges that the BBA is new federal tax legislation effective generally as of January 1, 2018, that it replaces conventional prior tax law as it relates to the subject matter within its scope, and that there remain many unresolved issues regarding the implementation of certain of its provisions, whether through IRS Treasury Regulations, case law, or administrative resolutions of applicable governing authorities. Accordingly, the Members acknowledge that the Manager reserves the right to supplement or amend any applicable provisions of this Agreement, including as to this Section 5.2, to address such additional processes or procedures as may be indicated as such unresolved issues are prospectively addressed as to reasonably facilitate the Company’s compliance with the BBA.

(k) The Members shall provide the Company with such information, which may be necessary or desirable in connection with such elections or otherwise in connection with the compliance with applicable tax laws, including providing information in connection with Section 743 of the Code and elections permitted thereunder. The Manager shall cause to be prepared and filed all tax returns of the Company and shall make all determinations as to tax elections by the Company. Unless otherwise required by law, the Manager shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Company within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. Prompt notice shall be given to the Manager upon receipt of advice that the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority intends to examine any income tax return or record or books of the Company. The Manager shall provide the Company with such information, which may be necessary or desirable in connection with such elections or otherwise in connection with the compliance with applicable tax laws, including providing information in connection with Section 743 of the Code and elections permitted thereunder.

ARTICLE 6

DISSOLUTION; WINDING UP; TERMINATION

6.1 Dissolution. The Company shall commence its winding up upon the first to occur of the following (the “Dissolution Event”):

(a) upon the determination of the Members with the approval of the Manager, at any time;

(b) the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company;

(d) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act.

The Dissolution Event shall be effective on the day on which such event occurs and immediately thereafter the Company shall commence the Winding Up Period during which its affairs shall be wound up in accordance with Section 6.2 and Section 6.3.

6.2 Winding Up and Termination.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, the property and business of the Company shall be wound up by the Manager or, in the event of the unavailability of the Manager, by a Person designated as a liquidating trustee by the Manager (the Manager or such liquidating trustee, the “Liquidating Trustee”). Subject to the requirements of applicable law and the further provisions of this Section 6.2, the Liquidating Trustee shall have discretion in determining whether to sell or otherwise dispose of Company assets or to distribute the same in kind and the timing and manner of such disposition or distribution. While the Company continues to hold assets, the Liquidating Trustee may in its discretion expend funds, acquire additional assets and borrow funds. The Liquidating Trustee may also authorize the payment of fees and expenses reasonably required in connection with the winding up of the Company.

(b) Within a reasonable period of time following the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, after allocating all Net Income, Net Loss and other items of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to Section 3.7, the Company’s assets (except for assets reserved pursuant to Section 6.3) shall be applied and distributed in the following manner and order of priority:

(i) the claims of all creditors of the Company (including Members except to the extent not permitted by law) shall be paid and discharged other than liabilities for which reasonable provision for payment has been made; and

(ii) to the Members in the same manner as distributions under Section 3.4.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, liquidating distributions shall be made no later than the last to occur of (x) 90 days after the date of disposition (including pursuant to Section 6.3 of the last remaining asset of the Company and (y) the end of the Company’s taxable year in which the disposition referred to in clause (x) shall occur. This Section 6.2(b) is intended to comply with, and shall be interpreted consistently with, the requirements of Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2).

(c) The Liquidating Trustee shall allocate securities for distribution in kind to the Members. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the amount by which the Fair Value of any property to be distributed in kind to the Members (including property distributed in liquidation and property distributed pursuant to Section 3.4) exceeds or is less than the adjusted basis of such property shall, to the extent not otherwise recognized by the Company, be taken into account in computing income, gains and losses of the Company for purposes of crediting or charging the Capital Account of, and distributing proceeds to, the Members, pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) When the Liquidating Trustee has completed the winding up described in this Section 6.2, the Liquidating Trustee shall cause the Termination of the Company.

6.3 Assets Reserved and Pending Claims.

(a) If, upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, there are any assets that, in the judgment of the Liquidating Trustee, cannot be sold or distributed in kind without sacrificing a significant portion of the value thereof or where such sale or distribution is otherwise impractical at the time of the Dissolution Event, such assets may be retained by the Company if the Liquidating Trustee determines that the retention of such assets is in the best interests of the Members. Upon the sale of such assets or a determination by the Liquidating Trustee that circumstances no longer require their retention, such assets (at their Fair Value) or the proceeds of their sale shall be taken into account in computing Capital Account on winding up and amounts distributable pursuant to Section 6.2(b) and distributed in accordance with such value.

(b) If there are any claims or potential claims (including potential Company expenses in connection therewith) against the Company (either directly or indirectly, including potential claims for which the Company might have an indemnification obligation) for which the possible loss cannot, in the judgment of the Liquidating Trustee, be definitively ascertained, then such claims shall initially be taken into account in computing The Capital Account upon winding up and distributions pursuant to Section 6.2(b) at an amount estimated by the Liquidating Trustee to be sufficient to cover any potential loss or liability on account of such claims (including such potential Company expenses), and the Company shall retain funds (or assets) determined by the Liquidating Trustee in its discretion as a reserve against such potential losses and liabilities, including expenses associated therewith, and for any other Company purpose. The Liquidating Trustee may in its discretion obtain insurance or create escrow accounts or make other similar arrangements with respect to such losses and liabilities. Upon final settlement of such claims (including such potential Company expenses) or a determination by the Liquidating Trustee that the probable loss therefrom can be definitively ascertained, such claims (including such potential Company expenses) shall be taken into account in the amount at which they were settled or in the amount of the probable loss therefrom in computing the Capital Account on winding up and amounts distributable pursuant to Section 6.2(b), and any excess funds retained shall be distributed as such funds would be distributed under Section 6.2(b).

ARTICLE 7

MEMBER MEETINGS

7.1 Member Meetings.

(a) There shall be no meetings of the Members unless called by the Manager or as otherwise specifically required by the Delaware Act. No Members or group of Members, acting in its or their capacity as Members, shall have the right to call a meeting of the Members.

(b) All acts of Members to be taken hereunder shall be taken in the manner provided in this Agreement. If authorized by the Manager, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Manager may adopt, if a meeting of the Members is called Members and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of Members may by means of remote communication participate in such meeting and be deemed present in person and vote at such meeting.

(c) A majority of the Units present at such meeting, either in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote thereat, shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of such meeting. The Delaware Court of Chancery may issue such orders as may be appropriate, including orders designating the time and place of such meeting, the record date for determination of Members entitled to vote, and the form of notice of such meeting.

(d) No Members or group of Members, acting in its or their capacity as Members, shall have the right to call a meeting of the Members.

7.2 Notice of Meetings of Members.

(a) Notice, stating the place, day and hour of any meeting of the Members, as determined by the Manager, and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, as determined by the Manager, shall be delivered by the Company not less than 10 calendar days nor more than 60 calendar days before the date of the meeting, in a manner and otherwise in accordance with the terms herein to each Record Holder who is entitled to vote at such meeting. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by Delaware or applicable federal law or any exchange on which any Units are then listed. Only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of Members as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting. Any previously scheduled meeting of the Members may be postponed, and any meeting of the Members may be canceled, by resolution of the Manager upon public notice given prior to the date previously scheduled for such meeting of the Members.

(b) The Manager shall designate the place of meeting for any meeting of the Members. If no designation is made, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of the Company.

7.3 Record Date. For purposes of determining the Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Members, the Manager may set a Record Date, which shall not be less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting (unless such requirement conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Units are listed for trading, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of such exchange shall govern). If no Record Date is fixed by the Manager, the Record Date for determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given. A determination of Members of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members shall apply to any adjournment or postponement of the meeting; provided, however, that the Manager may fix a new Record Date for the adjourned or postponed meeting.

7.4 Adjournment. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting and a new Record Date need not be fixed, if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless such adjournment shall be for more than 30 days. At the adjourned meeting, the Company may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days or if a new Record Date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with this ARTICLE 7.

7.5 Waiver of Notice; Approval of Meeting. Whenever notice to the Members is required to be given under this Agreement, a written waiver, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a Person at any such meeting of the Members shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the Person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Members need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by resolution of the Manager. All waivers and approvals shall be filed with the Company records or made part of the minutes of the meeting.

7.6 Quorum; Required Vote. At any meeting of the Members, the holders of a majority of the Units entitled to vote represented in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum unless any such action by the Members requires approval by holders of a greater percentage of Units entitled to vote, in which case the quorum shall be such greater percentage. The submission of matters to Members for approval shall occur only at a meeting of the Members duly called and held in accordance with this Agreement at which a quorum is present; provided, however, that the Members present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Members to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by the required percentage of Units entitled to vote specified in this Agreement. Any meeting of Members may be adjourned from time to time by the chairman of the meeting to another place or time, without regard to the presence of a quorum.

7.7 Conduct of a Meeting; Member Lists.

(a) The Manager shall have full power and authority concerning the manner of conducting any meeting of the Members, including the determination of Persons entitled to vote, the existence of a quorum, the satisfaction of the requirements of this ARTICLE 7, the conduct of voting, the validity and effect of any proxies and the determination of any controversies, votes or challenges arising in connection with or during the meeting or voting. The Manager shall designate a Person to serve as chairman of any meeting and shall further designate a Person to take the minutes of any meeting. All minutes shall be kept with the records of the Company maintained by the Manager. The Manager may make such other regulations consistent with applicable law and this Agreement as it may deem advisable concerning the conduct of any meeting of the Members, including regulations in regard to the appointment of proxies, the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies and other evidence of the right to vote.

(b) A complete list of Members entitled to vote at any meeting of Members, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each such Member and the number of Units registered in the name of such Member, shall be open to the examination of any Member, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least 10 days before the meeting, at the principal place of business of the Company. The Member list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any Member who is present.

7.8 Action Without a Meeting. On any matter that is to be voted on, consented to or approved by Members, the Members may take such action without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the Members having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Members entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

7.9 Voting and Other Rights.

(a) Only those Record Holders of Units on the Record Date set pursuant to Section 7.3 shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, a meeting of Members or to act with respect to matters as to which the holders of the Units have the right to vote or to act. All references in this Agreement to votes of, or other acts that may be taken by, the Units shall be deemed to be references to the votes or acts of the Record Holders of such Units on such Record Date.

(b) With respect to Units that are held for a Person’s account by another Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation, or an agent of any of the foregoing), in whose name such Units are registered, such other Person shall, in exercising the voting rights in respect of such Units on any matter, and unless the arrangement between such Persons provides otherwise, vote such Units in favor of, and at the direction of, the Person who is the Beneficial Owner, and the Company shall be entitled to assume it is so acting without further inquiry.

7.10 Proxies and Voting.

(a) On any matter that is to be voted on by Members, the Members may vote in person or by proxy, and such proxy may be granted in writing, by means of electronic transmission or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. Any such proxy shall be delivered in accordance with the procedure established for the relevant

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “electronic transmission” means any form of communication not directly involving the physical transmission of paper that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this paragraph may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

(c) The Manager may, and to the extent required by law, shall, in advance of any meeting of Members, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Manager may designate one or more alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of Members, the chairman of the meeting may, and to the extent required by law, shall, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. Every vote taken by ballots shall be counted by a duly appointed inspector or inspectors.

(d) With respect to the use of proxies at any meeting of Members, the Company shall be governed by paragraphs (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 212 of the DGCL and other applicable provisions of the DGCL, as though the Company were a Delaware corporation and as though the Members were shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

(e) In the event that the Company becomes subject to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, pursuant to and subject to the provisions of Rule 14a-16 under the Exchange Act, the Company may, but is not required to, utilize a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as described in such rule, in conjunction with proxy material posted to an Internet site, in order to furnish any proxy or related material to Members pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act.

ARTICLE 8

MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Addresses and Notices. Any notice, demand, request, report or proxy materials required or permitted to be given or made to a Member under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or made when delivered in person or when sent by first class United States mail or by other means of written or electronic communication, including via email with return receipt requested, to the Member at the addresses described below. Any notice, payment or report to be given or made to a Member hereunder shall be deemed conclusively to have been given or made, and the obligation to give such notice or report or to make such payment shall be deemed conclusively to have been fully satisfied, upon sending of such notice, payment or report to the Record Holder of such Units at his address as shown on the records of the Transfer Agent or as otherwise shown on the records of the Company (including on Exhibit A attached hereto), regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such Units by reason of any assignment or otherwise. An affidavit or certificate of making of any notice, payment or report in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.1 executed by the Company, the Manager or the Transfer Agent or the mailing organization shall be prima facie evidence of the giving or making of such notice, payment or report. If any notice, payment or report addressed to a Record Holder at the address of such Record Holder appearing on the books and records of the Transfer Agent or the Company is returned by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver it, such notice, payment or report and any subsequent notices, payments and reports shall be deemed to have been duly given or made without further mailing (until such time as such Record Holder or another Person notifies the Transfer Agent or the Company of a change in his address) if they are available for the Member at the principal office of the Company for a period of one year from the date of the giving or making of such notice, payment or report to the other Members. Any notice to the Company shall be deemed given if received by the Secretary at the principal office of the Company designated pursuant to the terms and conditions herein. The Manager and the Officers may rely and shall be protected in relying on any notice or other document from a Member or other Person if believed by it to be genuine.

8.2 Amendments; Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived only by an instrument in writing executed by the Manager and Members holding a majority of the Membership Interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager may amend this Agreement and the schedules and exhibits hereto, without the approval of the Members (i) to evidence the joinder to this Agreement of a new Member of the Company; (ii) in connection with the Transfer of Membership Interests; or (iii) as otherwise required to reflect Capital Contributions, Distributions and similar actions hereunder. Notwithstanding the forgoing the Manager is authorized to make such amendments to this Agreement as required in order to comply with any applicable law, including, without limitation, any securities law, whether currently in place or promulgated in the future.

8.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the successors and permitted assigns of the Members.

8.4 No Waiver. No failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

8.5 Survival of Certain Provisions. The covenants and agreements set forth in Section 4.1, Section 4.2 and Section 5.2 shall survive the Termination of the Company.

8.6 Corporate Treatment. The Manager shall use its reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to preserve the status of the Company as a partnership for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes. If, however, the Manager determines, in its sole discretion, for any reason (including the proposal, formally or informally, of legislation that could affect the Company’s status as a partnership for U.S. federal and/or applicable state and local income tax purposes) that it is not in the best interests of the Company to be characterized as a partnership, the Manager may take whatever steps, if any, are needed to cause the Company to be or confirm that the Company will be treated as an association or as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event U.S. federal (and/or applicable state and local) income tax laws, rules or regulations are enacted, amended, modified or applied after the date hereof in such a manner as to require or necessitate that the Company no longer be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal (and/or applicable state and local) income tax purposes, then the first sentence of this Section 8.6 shall no longer apply.

8.7 Section 7704(e) Relief. In the event that the Manager determines the Company should seek relief pursuant to Section 7704(e) of the Code to preserve the status of the Company as a partnership for U.S. federal (and applicable state) income tax purposes, the Company and each Member shall agree to adjustments required by the tax authorities, and the Company shall pay such amounts as required by the tax authorities, to preserve the status of the Company as a partnership.

8.8 Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired hereby.

8.9 Interpretation The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. As used herein, masculine pronouns shall include the feminine and neuter, neuter pronouns shall include the masculine and the feminine, and the singular shall be deemed to include the plural. The use of the word “including” herein shall not be considered to limit the provision that it modifies but instead shall mean “including, without limitation.”

8.10 No Third-Party Rights. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any Person other than the parties hereto.

8.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Company, the Initial Member and any Person who becomes a Member hereafter with respect to the matters described herein and supersedes any prior agreement or understanding among them with respect to such subject matter.

8.12 Rule of Construction. The general rule of construction for interpreting a contract, which provides that the provisions of a contract should be construed against the party preparing the contract, is waived by the parties hereto. Each party acknowledges that such party was represented by separate legal counsel in this matter who participated in the preparation of this Agreement or such party had the opportunity to retain counsel to participate in the preparation of this Agreement but elected not to do so.

8.13 Authority. Whenever in this Agreement or elsewhere it is provided that consent is required of, or a demand shall be made by, or an act or thing shall be done by or at the direction of, the Company, or whenever any words of like import are used, all such consents, demands, acts and things are to be made, given or done by the consent of the Manager or Person acting under the authority of the Manager, unless a contrary intention is expressly indicated.

8.14 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

8.15 Facsimile Signatures. The use of facsimile signatures affixed in the name and on behalf of the transfer agent and registrar of the Company on certificates representing Units is expressly permitted by this Agreement.

8.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
