absolute discretion, upon notice to all Directors. The initial number of Directors shall be three (3). Each Director elected, designated or appointed shall hold office until a successor is elected and qualified or until such Director’s earlier
death, resignation or removal. Each Director shall execute and deliver the Management Agreement. A director need not be a Member. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Manager shall not be considered to be a member of the Board of Directors,
nor shall they be a “Director” as the term is used in this Agreement.

this Agreement, the
-3-
Company shall have at least one Independent Manager. To the fullest extent permitted by law, including Section 18‑1101(c) of the Act, the
Independent Manager shall consider only the interests of the Company, including its respective creditors, in acting or otherwise voting on the matters referred to in Section 4.1(b). Except for duties to the Company as set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence (including duties to the Member and the Company’s creditors solely to the extent of their respective economic interests in the Company but excluding (i) all other interests of the Member, (ii) the interests of other Affiliates of
the Company, and (iii) the interests of any group of Affiliates of which the Company is a part), the Independent Managers shall not have any fiduciary duties to the Member, any Officer or any other Person bound by this Agreement; provided, however,
the foregoing shall not eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. To the fullest extent permitted by law, including Section 18-1101(e) of the Act, the Independent Manager shall not be liable to the Company, the
Member or any other Person bound by this Agreement for breach of contract or breach of duties (including fiduciary duties), unless the Independent Manager acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct. An Independent Manager is hereby
designated as a "manager" within the meaning of Section 18-101(12) of the Act. All right, power and authority of the Independent Manager shall be limited to the extent necessary to exercise those rights and perform those duties specifically set forth
in this Agreement and the Independent Manager shall otherwise have no authority to bind the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Independent Manager, in its capacity as an Independent Manager, may only
act, vote or otherwise participate in those matters referred to in Section 4.1(b) or as otherwise specifically required by this Agreement. No resignation or removal of an Independent Manager, and no appointment of a successor Independent Manager,
shall be effective until such successor shall have accepted his or her appointment as an Independent Manager by a written instrument, which may be a counterpart signature page to the Management Agreement. Upon the resignation, death or other event
whereby the Independent Manager ceases to be a manager or independent from the Company, a new Independent Manager shall be promptly appointed. The Independent Manager shall execute and deliver the Management Agreement. The initial Independent
Manager is [INDEPENDENT MANAGER].
(c) Officers. The Officers of the Company shall be appointed by the Board and shall have the duties and responsibilities customarily associated with such
office and as set forth in Article V. All Officers shall be subject to the supervision and direction of the Board. Any Officer appointed by the Board may be removed by the Board at any time with or without cause. Any Officer may resign at any
time upon written notice to the Secretary or Board. The resignation shall be effective upon receipt thereof or at such subsequent time as may be specified in the notice of resignation.

request of any one or more of the Directors or of the Member.

business and, except as otherwise provided in any other provision of this Agreement, the act of a majority of the Directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board. Each Director present at a meeting and
entitled to participate in such meeting shall be entitled to one vote with respect to any action. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board, the Directors present at such meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without
notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be 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 written
consents, setting forth the action so taken, are executed by members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, representing the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or to take such action at a meeting of the Board or
committee permitted to vote were present and voted. Written consent includes consent by means of facsimile or electronic mail or any other electronic means, and the evidence of consent shall be filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or
committee, as the case may be.
Section 3.5 Electronic Communications. Members of 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
-5-
conference or similar communications equipment, the Meeting shall be deemed to be held at the principal place of business of the Company.
Section 3.6 Committees of Directors.
(a) Designation. The Board may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one
or more of the Directors of the Company. The Board may designate one or more Directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee.
(b) Voting. 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.
(c) Power and Authority. Any such committee, to the extent provided in a resolution of the Board, 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.
(d) Executive Committee. Not in limitation of the powers granted to the Directors of the Company under this Agreement but in furtherance thereof, a
subset of the Directors appointed by the Board, acting as a committee of the Board (the “Executive Committee”) may exercise all of the right, power and authority vested in the Board by this Agreement or the Act to manage, operate and control
the business and affairs of the Company, other than with respect to actions by the Company for which this Agreement expressly requires the unanimous consent or approval of the Directors or the consent and approval of the Member.
Section 3.7 Removal/Appointment of Directors. Unless otherwise restricted by law, any Director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or
without cause, at any time and from time to time by the Member and, subject to Section 5.1, any vacancy caused by any such removal or otherwise (including the death, incapacity or resignation of a Director) may be filled by action of the
Member.
Section 3.8 Directors as Agents; Interests of Certain Persons. To the extent of their powers set forth in this Agreement, and subject to Section 4.1,
the Directors are agents of the Company for the purpose of the Company’s business, and the actions of the Directors taken in accordance with such powers set forth in this Agreement shall bind the Company. Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section
18-402 of the Act, except as provided in this Agreement, no individual Director may bind the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by law, including Section 18-1101(c) of the Act, the Directors shall be required, in the exercise of their
