(d) Quorum: Acts of the Board. At all meetings of the Board, a majority of the Managers shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and, except as otherwise provided in any other provision of this Agreement, the act of a majority of the Managers present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board, the Managers present at such meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, and without prior notice, if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee, as the case may be.
(e) Electronic Communications. Managers on the Board, or any committee designated by the Board, may participate in meetings of the Board, or any committee, by means of telephone conference or similar communications equipment that allows all Persons participating in the meeting to hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting. If all the participants are participating by telephone conference or similar communications equipment, the meeting shall be deemed to be held at the principal place of business of the Company.
(f) Committees of Managers.
(i) | The Board may, by resolution passed by a majority of the members of the Board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the Managers of the Company; provided, however, no committee may take any action requiring the consent of the Independent Managers unless (A) all Independent Managers are members of such committee, and (B) all Independent Managers vote affirmatively or consent to such action. The Board may designate one or more Managers as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. |
(ii) | In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. |
(iii) | Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board, and subject to, in all cases, Section 9 and Section 8(j), shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Company. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board when required. |
4

The Managers may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at meetings of the Board, which may be a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board or a stated salary as Manager. No such payment shall preclude any Manager from serving the Company in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.
(h) Removal of Managers. Unless otherwise restricted by law and subject to the provisions of Section 8(j), any Manager or the entire Board may be removed or expelled, with or without cause, at any time by the Member, and any vacancy caused by any such removal or expulsion may be filled by action of the Member.

No resignation or removal of an Independent Manager, and no appointment of a successor Independent Manager, shall be effective until such successor (i) has accepted his or her appointment as an Independent Manager by a written instrument, and (ii) has executed a counterpart to this Agreement as required herein. In the event of a vacancy in the position of an Independent Manager, the Member shall, as soon as practicable, elect or designate a successor Independent Manager.

(e) The Company’s obligation hereunder, if any, to indemnify its directors and officers, members, or managers, as applicable, is hereby fully subordinated to each of the Loan and the Loan Documents, and will not constitute a claim against it in the event that the cash flow in excess of the amount required to pay the amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents is insufficient to pay such obligation; and no indemnity payment from funds of the Company (as distinct from funds from other sources, such as insurance) of any indemnity hereunder, if any, shall be payable from amounts allocable to any other person pursuant to the Loan Documents.

As used herein, the term “Rating Agency” or “Rating Agencies” shall have the meanings ascribed to those terms in the Loan Documents.
9
(h) Neither the exercise by the Lender of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents, nor the transfer to the Lender or its successor or assign of title to any interests in the Company, shall constitute a default or breach, or give rise to any right of first refusal or option to purchase under the Certificate of Formation or this Agreement of the Company.
(i) For so long as the Loan shall remain outstanding, no owners of equity interests in the Company shall be entitled to resign from the Company or assign, encumber, or convey any interest in the Company (except in favor of Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents), without the prior written consent of the Lender.
