(d) to the extent required by the Investment Company Act, the right to ratify the appointment of the independent accountants of the Company by the affirmative vote of more than 50% of the Units then outstanding and represented in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote; provided, however, that such appointment is approved by a majority of the Disinterested Managers;

3.16 Limitations on Requirements for Consents. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, but subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act, in the event that counsel for the Company or counsel designated by Members holding not less than 10% of the Units owned by all Members shall have delivered to the Company an opinion to the effect that either the existence of a particular consent right or particular consent rights, or the exercise thereof, will violate the provisions of the Act or the laws of the other jurisdictions in which the Company is then formed or qualified, will adversely affect the limited liability of the Members, or will adversely affect the classification of the Company as a partnership for federal or state income tax purposes, then notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Members shall no longer have such right, or shall not be entitled to exercise such right in the instant case, as the case may be.

(e) Such Member shall notify the Company immediately if any representations or warranties made herein or in any Subscription Agreement should be or become untrue; and

MANAGEMENT OF COMPANY

4.1 Board of Managers. The governing body of the Company shall be the Board of Managers, which shall have the power to control the management and policies of the Company. The maximum number of Managers shall initially be set at six, and may be increased or decreased by action of the Board of Managers provided that at no time shall the number of Managers be set at less than three or more than ten. The Managers shall be set forth in Schedule A hereto or in the official records of the Company. The Managers shall hold office until their successors are approved and elected, unless they are sooner removed pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof, or sooner resign pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof or sooner are incapacitated pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof, as the case may be. Managers may succeed themselves in office. No reduction in the number of Managers shall have the effect of removing any Manager from office unless specially removed pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof at the time of such decrease. Subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act, the Board of Managers may designate successors to fill vacancies created by an authorized increase in the number of Managers, the resignation of a Manager pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, the removal of a member of the Board of Managers pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof or the incapacity of a Manager pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof. In the event that no Managers remain, the Management Company shall continue the business of the Company and shall perform all duties of the Managers under this Agreement and shall as soon as practicable call a special meeting of Members for the purpose of approving and electing Managers. When Managers are subject to election by Members, Managers are elected by a plurality of the Units voting at the meeting. Managers may, but need not be, admitted to the Company as Members to act in their capacity as Managers.

4.2 Resignation by a Manager. A Manager may voluntarily resign from the Board of Managers upon the giving of notice thereof to the Company, such resignation to take effect upon receipt of such notice by the Company or such later date as set forth in such notice.

4.3 Removal of a Manager; Designation of a Successor Manager.

(a) Any Manager may be removed either: (i) for Cause by the action of at least two-thirds of the remaining Managers; (ii) by failure to be re-elected by the Members at a meeting of Members duly called by the Managers for such purpose; or (iii) for Cause by the affirmative vote of a Supermajority of Members. In addition to the foregoing, a Manager who is not a Disinterested Manager may be removed by a majority of the remaining Managers in the event such Manager is no longer an employee or officer of the Management Company or an Affiliate thereof. The removal of a Manager shall in no way derogate from any rights or powers of such Manager, or the exercise thereof, or the validity of any actions taken pursuant thereto, prior to the date of such removal.

(b) The remaining Managers shall designate a successor Manager to fill any vacancy existing in the number of Managers fixed pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof resulting from removal of a Manager, provided, however, that in the case of a Disinterested Manager, only the remaining Disinterested Managers may designate a successor Disinterested Manager. Any such successor Manager shall hold office until his or her successor has been approved and duly elected.

(c) Any removal of a Manager shall not affect any rights or liabilities of the removed Manager that matured prior to such removal.

4.4 Incapacity of a Manager.

(a) In the event of the Incapacity of a Manager, the business of the Company shall be continued by the remaining Managers. The remaining Managers shall, within 90 days, call a meeting of the Board of Managers for the purpose of designating a successor Manager. Any such successor Manager shall hold such office until his or her successor has been approved and elected by the Members. The Managers shall make such amendments to the certificate of formation and execute and file for recordation such amendments or other documents or instruments as are necessary and required by the Act or this Agreement to reflect the fact that such Incapacitated Manager has ceased to be a Manager and the appointment of such successor Manager.

(b) In the event of the Incapacity of all Managers, an Appropriate Officer shall as promptly as practicable convene a meeting of Members for the purpose of electing new Managers nominated by the Management Company. Upon the Incapacity of a Manager, the Manager shall immediately cease to be a Manager.

(c) Any such termination of a Manager shall not affect any rights or liabilities of the Incapacitated Manager that matured prior to such Incapacity.

4.5 Continuation. In the event of the withdrawal, removal, Incapacity or retirement of a Manager, the Company shall not be dissolved and the business of the Company shall be continued by the remaining Managers.

Subject to the terms hereof, the Board of Managers shall have full and complete discretion in the management and control of the affairs of the Company, shall make all decisions affecting Company affairs and shall have all of the rights, powers and obligations of a managing member of a limited liability company under the Act and otherwise as provided by law.

ARTICLE VII.

CAPITAL COMMITMENTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS

7.1 Capital Commitments. Each Member, upon admission to the Company, shall be deemed to have made a “Capital Commitment” to the Company equal to the amount specified as such in, or otherwise determined in accordance with, the Subscription Agreement relating to such Member. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Capital Commitment of a Member: (i) shall represent the maximum aggregate amount of cash and property that such Member shall be required to contribute to the capital of the Company; and (ii) shall not be changed during the term of the Company.

7.2 Payments at Closings. The Company shall have one or more closings (each a “Closing”) at which time Persons may be admitted as Members of the Company pursuant to the terms hereof and existing Members may be offered the opportunity to increase their Capital Commitments. The first Closing (the “Initial Closing”) shall occur on such date as determined by the Managers in their sole discretion and all subsequent Closings (each an “Additional Closing”) shall occur on such date(s) as may be determined by the Managers in their sole discretion (the “Additional Closing Dates”); provided, however, that the last Closing shall occur no later than one year after the date of the Initial Closing, which date may be accelerated or extended by the Managers in their sole discretion (the “Final Closing Date”). The books and records of the Company shall be amended following each Closing to reflect the identity of the Members and their respective Capital Contributions.

7.3 Capital Contributions.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Management Company may call for contributions to the capital of the Company at such times and in such amounts (not to exceed the amount of each Member’s Capital Commitment to the Company) as the Management Company determines in its sole discretion, provided, that, the Company will give each Member at least ten Business Days’ prior written notice (which may be given by e-mail) as to the due date for and amount of each such capital contribution. Capital Contributions by the Members shall be made in dollars by wire transfer of federal funds to an account or accounts of the Company as specified by the Company or in such other manner as the Company may direct. No Member shall be entitled to any interest or compensation by reason of his, her or its Capital Contribution or by reason of being a Member. No Member shall be required to lend any funds to the Company.

(b) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, a Member may not make less than the full amount of its Capital Contribution called by the Management Company pursuant to Section 7.3(a) hereof. In the event any Member fails to pay any amount which it is required to pay to the Company on or before the date when such amount is due and payable, a written notice of default shall be given to such Member by the Company. If the full amount of the required contribution to the capital of the Company is not received by the Company within 20 days after the giving of such notice of default, such Member shall be deemed to be in default hereunder (a “Defaulting Member”) and the Company will, to the extent allocable and permitted under applicable law, allocate expenses, penalties, costs, liabilities or obligations incurred by the Company, as a result of the Member defaulting, to the Defaulting Member pursuant to Section 8.10 hereof. In addition, the Company (or the Management Company as its delegate) may, at its discretion, take other actions with respect to a Defaulting Member, including, without limitation, (i) borrowing funds to cover the amount of the defaulted Capital Contribution at a rate established with a third-party lender or using the Company’s internal capital at a rate of 8% per annum, and causing the Defaulting Member to bear such interest and other costs associated with such borrowing, (ii) excluding a Defaulting Member from future capital calls, (iii) charging the Capital Account of the Defaulting Member management fees on the full amount of such Defaulting Member’s Capital Commitment, (iv) causing the Defaulting Member to bear any losses incurred by the Company in disposing of assets in order to fund the defaulted amount and/or (v) any other actions as may be available under applicable law.

7.4 Return of Capital. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Member shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Contribution, to receive interest or other earnings on its Capital Contributions, or to receive any distributions from the Company, nor shall any Member have priority over any other Member either as to the return of such Member’s capital or as to profits, losses or distributions.

7.5 Recycling.

(a) To the extent the Company is authorized to retain or recall for reinvestment proceeds received by the Company from the Underlying Funds, the Company may retain or recall such amounts as the Management Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to facilitate such reinvestment (which may include the payment of fees or expenses of the Company, as well as investment in Underlying Funds).

(b) Amounts retained pursuant to Section 7.5(a) hereof in respect of a Member shall not reduce such Member’s unfunded Capital Commitment. Separate from and in addition to any amounts retained or recalled for reinvestment by the Company, in the event that amounts are distributed to the Members as a result of funds being returned to the Company by an Underlying Fund which are subject to reinvestment in such Underlying Fund, each Member’s unfunded Capital Commitment will be increased by the amount of funds so returned.

7.6 Liability of the Members and the Managers. Except for the obligations set forth hereunder and under the Subscription Agreements, the liability of the Members shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by the Act. If a Member is required under the Act to return to the Company or pay, for the benefit of creditors of the Company, amounts previously distributed to such Member, the obligation of such Member to return or pay any such amount to the Company shall be the obligation of such Member and not the obligation of the Managers. The liability of the Managers shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by the Act.

ARTICLE VIII.

DISTRIBUTIONS, CAPITAL ACCOUNTS AND ALLOCATIONS

8.1 Percentage Interests. There shall be established for each Member on the books of the Company a percentage interest, which shall be determined by (i) dividing the amount of such Member’s Capital Contributions by the sum of the Capital Contributions of all the Members and (ii) multiplying such quotient by 100 (the “Percentage Interest”). The sum of the Percentage Interests shall equal 100. The Percentage Interests of the Members shall be set forth on the books and records of the Company, as adjusted from time to time by the Managers to reflect the Members’ Capital Contributions.

8.2 Distributions.

(a) The Company shall make distributions of available cash (net of reserves that the Managers deem reasonable) or other net investment proceeds to the Members at such times and in such amounts as determined by the Managers in their sole discretion in accordance with the Members’ respective Percentage Interests at the time of such distribution. Subject to Section 13.2 hereof regarding liquidating distributions, 100% of such distributions will be paid to the Members (including the Special Member) pro rata in accordance with their respective Capital Contributions.

(b) The Board of Managers may, in its sole discretion, cause the Company to make distributions to the Special Member equal to tax liability of the Special Member (or its owners) for each Fiscal Year (“Tax Distributions”). Tax Distributions (a) shall be made on a quarterly basis or at such other times as the Board of Managers deems appropriate, (b) shall be treated as advances against future distributions under this Section 8.2 (as determined by the Board of Managers) and (c) shall be reduced by previous distributions made pursuant to this Section 8.2 that are made in the same Fiscal Year (as determined by the Board of Managers). The Special Member shall not be obligated to repay any previously received Tax Distributions to the Company. In determining the amount of any Tax Distribution, it shall be assumed that the items of income, gain, deduction, loss and credit in respect of the Company were the only such items entering into the computation of tax liability of the Special Member for the Fiscal Year in respect of which the Tax Distribution was made and that the Member was subject to the highest combined marginal federal, state and local tax rates applicable at the time of the relevant allocation to an individual or corporate resident of New York City, New York, whichever is higher. No account shall be taken of any items of deduction or credit attributable to an interest in the Company that may be carried back or carried forward from another Fiscal Year.

8.3 Valuation. The value of any asset of the Company shall be determined in good faith in the sole discretion of the Board of Managers based upon all available relevant information. The Board of Managers shall be entitled to rely on any valuations provided to it by the Underlying Funds and/or the Management Company, but shall not be bound by such valuations.

8.4 Capital Accounts. A capital account (“Capital Account”) shall be established and maintained on the Company’s books with respect to each Member, in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), including the following:

(a) Each Member’s Capital Account shall be increased by: (i) the amount of money and the Gross Asset Value of any property contributed by that Member to the Company; (ii) the amount of income or gain allocated to that Member; and (iii) any other increases required by the Treasury Regulations.

(b) Each Member’s Capital Account shall be decreased by: (i) the amount of loss or deduction allocated to that Member; (ii) all cash amounts distributed to that Member pursuant to this Agreement, other than any amount required to be treated as a payment for property or services for federal income tax purposes; (iii) the Gross Asset Value of any property distributed in kind to that Member (net of any liabilities secured by such distributed property that such Member is considered to assume or take subject to for federal income tax purposes); and (iv) any other decreases required by the Treasury Regulations.

(c) All provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such law. The Managers shall make any necessary modifications to this Section 8.4 in the event unanticipated events occur that might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with such law or any changes thereto.

8.5 Negative Capital Accounts. Except as may be required by law, no Member shall be required to reimburse the Company for any negative balance in such Member’s Capital Account.

8.6 Allocations to Capital Accounts.

(a) Subject to other provisions of this Article VIII, for each fiscal year, the Company’s items of income, gain, loss, and deduction comprising Net Profit and Net Loss shall be allocated among the Members in such a manner that, immediately after giving effect to such allocations, each Member’s Target Capital Account balance, taking into account all contributions by such Member and distributions to such Member, equals, as nearly as possible, the amount of cash, if any, that would be distributed to such Member if (i) all the Company’s assets were sold for cash equal to their respective Gross Asset Values, reduced, but not below zero, by the amount of nonrecourse debt to which such assets are subject, (ii) all the Company’s liabilities (other than nonrecourse liabilities) were paid in full, and (iii) all the remaining cash were distributed to the Members under Section 8.2(a).

(b) Nonrecourse deductions (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704‑2(b)(1)), tax credits, and other items the allocation of which cannot have economic effect shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Capital Contributions.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 8.6 to the contrary, in the event that a Member withdraws all or part of its Capital Account (including by reason of death), the Board of Managers may, in its sole discretion, specially allocate items of Company gain or loss to that Member for tax purposes to reduce the amount, if any, by which the amount distributable to the Member upon the withdrawal differs from that Member’s tax basis for its withdrawn interest, or otherwise reduce any discrepancy between amounts previously allocated to the Member’s Capital Account and amounts previously allocated to that Member for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(d) Regulatory Allocations. The provisions of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704(b) relating to qualified income offset, minimum gain chargeback, minimum gain chargeback with respect to partner nonrecourse debt, allocations of nonrecourse deductions, allocations with respect to partner nonrecourse debt, limitations on allocations of losses to cause or increase a Capital Account deficit, and forfeiture allocations with respect to substantially nonvested partnership interests are hereby incorporated by reference and shall be applied to the allocation of income, gain, loss, or deduction in the manner provided in the Treasury Regulations. The Board of Managers may, in its discretion, adjust the subsequent allocations of income, gain, losses, or deduction to prevent distortion of the economic arrangement of the Members, as otherwise described in this Agreement, due to allocations resulting from the preceding sentence.

(e) Transfer of or Change in Units. The Managers are authorized to adopt any convention or combination of conventions likely to be upheld for federal income tax purposes regarding the allocation and/or special allocation of items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to newly issued Units, transferred Units and withdrawn Units. Upon admission as a Substituted Member, a transferee of Units shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor Member to the extent it relates to the transferred Units.

(f) Certain Expenses. Syndication and organization expenses, as defined in Section 709 of the Code (and, to the extent necessary as determined in the sole discretion of the Managers, any other items) shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Members so that, as nearly as possible, the cumulative amount of such syndication and organization expenses (and other items, if relevant) allocated with respect to each dollar of Capital Contribution for each Member is the same amount.

8.7 Tax Allocations.

(a) Items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and expense shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in the same manner as the Net Profit (and items thereof) and Net Loss (and items thereof) of which such items are components were allocated pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof; provided, however, that tax allocations shall be made in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent so required thereby. In the sole discretion of the Board of Managers, the Company may aggregate realized gains and losses in any manner permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3.

(b) Allocations pursuant to this Section 8.7 are solely for federal, state and local income tax purposes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Profit (and items thereof) or Net Loss (and items thereof).

(c) The Members are aware of the tax consequences of the allocations made by this Section 8.7 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 8.7 in reporting their shares of items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and expense.

8.8 Determinations by the Managers. All matters concerning the computation of Capital Accounts, the allocation of Net Profit (and items thereof) and Net Loss (and items thereof), the allocation of items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and expense for tax purposes, including the application of certain estimates and simplifying conventions intended to ensure that the Company’s Net Profits and Net Losses (and items thereof) are properly allocated among the Members in a manner that reflects their beneficial interests in such tax items while permitting timely delivery of Schedule K-1s to Members, and the adoption of any accounting procedures not expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by the Managers in their sole discretion. Such determination shall be final and conclusive as to all the Members. Notwithstanding anything express or implied to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event the Managers shall determine, in their sole discretion, that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto, are computed in order to effectuate the intended economic sharing arrangement of the Members as reflected in this Article VIII, the Managers may make such modification without the approval of Members.

8.9 Tax Matters Partner. The Special Member shall act as “tax matters partner” of the Company within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code or, after the effective date of Section 1101 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (or any successor or similar provision of U.S. federal, state or local law), the “partnership representative” of the Company and in any similar capacity under applicable state or local tax law (the “Tax Matters Partner”), and shall have sole discretion to make or refrain from making any election or otherwise act on behalf of the Company in any audit proceeding involving the Company. All expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Partner shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company. Each Member agrees not to treat, without the prior written consent of the Special Member (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), on its U.S. federal income tax return or in any claim for a refund, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit in a manner inconsistent with the treatment of such item by the Company as reflected in the information furnished to such Member by the Company. A Member shall promptly notify the Tax Matters Partner of any intention to: (i) file a request for administrative adjustment of Company items; (ii) file a petition with respect to any Company item or other tax matters involving the Company; or (iii) enter into a settlement agreement with the Secretary of the Treasury with respect to any Company items.

8.10 Allocation of Expenses/Defaulting Members. The Company will, to the extent allocable and permitted under applicable law, and as determined by the Managers, allocate expenses incurred by the Company, as a result of Members defaulting in their Capital Commitments, to those Members that caused the Company to incur such expenses. Pursuant to Section 7.3(b) hereof, the Company may also allocate any interest and other expenses incurred as a result of the Company borrowing funds to cover defaults by Members, to those Members that have defaulted on their Capital Commitments to the Company.

(c) The Company shall bear its organizational expenses, and expenses relating to the offering and sale of Units; provided that to the extent such organizational and offering expenses exceed $1,500,000, the excess amount over $1,500,000 shall be borne by the Management Company.

ARTICLE X.

INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Indemnification.

(a) None of the Managers, the Special Member, the Management Company or any of their respective Affiliates, principals, members, shareholders, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall have any liability, responsibility or accountability in damages or otherwise to any Member or the Company for, and the Company agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify, pay, protect and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all reasonable costs and expenses of attorneys, defense, appeal and settlement of any and all suits, actions or proceedings instituted or threatened against the Indemnified Persons or the Company) and all costs of investigation in connection therewith which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnified Persons or the Company in any way relating to or arising out of, or alleged to relate to or arise out of, any action or inaction on the part of the Company, on the part of the Indemnified Persons when acting on behalf of the Company or otherwise in connection with the business or affairs of the Company, or on the part of any agents when acting on behalf of the Company (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the Company shall not be liable to any Indemnified Person for any portion of any Indemnified Liabilities which results from such Indemnified Person’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of his, her or its duties or by reason of his, her or its reckless disregard of his, her or its obligations and duties. The indemnification rights provided for in this Section 10.1(a) shall survive the termination of the Company or this Agreement. Any indemnification rights provided for in this Section 10.1(a) shall be retained by any removed, resigned or withdrawn Manager, Special Member or Management Company or agent and its constituent Indemnified Persons. Any indemnification rights provided for in this Section 10.1(a) shall also be retained by any Person who has acted in the capacity of officer, director, partner, employee, agent, stockholder or Affiliate of an Indemnified Person after such Persons shall have ceased to hold such positions.

(b) The right of any Indemnified Person to the indemnification provided herein shall be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Indemnified Person may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Indemnified Person’s successors, assigns and legal representatives.

(c) The provision of advances from Company funds to an Indemnified Person for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action or proceeding is permissible if (i) such suit, action or proceeding relates to or arises out of, or is alleged to relate to or arise out of, any action or inaction on the part of the Indemnified Person in the performance of its duties or provision of its services on behalf of the Company or otherwise in connection with the business or affairs of the Company; and (ii) the Indemnified Person undertakes to repay any funds advanced pursuant to this Section 10.1(c) in any case in which such Indemnified Person would not be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.1(a) hereof. If advances are permissible under this Section 10.1(c), the Indemnified Person shall furnish the Company with an undertaking as set forth in clause (ii) of this paragraph and shall thereafter have the right to xxxx the Company for, or otherwise request the Company to pay, at any time and from time to time after such Indemnified Person shall become obligated to make payment therefor, any and all amounts for which such Indemnified Person believes in good faith that such Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification under Section 10.1(a) hereof. The Company shall pay any and all such bills and honor any and all such requests for payment within 60 days after such xxxx or request is received by the Company, and the Company’s rights to repayment of such amounts shall be secured by the Indemnified Person’s interest in the Company, if any, or by such other security as the Managers may require.

ARTICLE XI.

WITHDRAWALS OF MEMBERS; TRANSFERS OF UNITS

11.1 Withdrawals of Members.

(a) A Member may not sell, withdraw, assign or transfer its Units without the prior written consent of the Managers, which the Managers may withhold in their sole discretion.

(b) The Board of Managers may (but shall not be required to) terminate the membership of any Member and cause that Member to withdraw from the Company at any time upon at least five Business Days prior written notice upon a determination by the Managers that the continued participation of that Member in the Company might adversely affect the Company by jeopardizing the treatment of the Company as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, or subject the Company to restrictions or other adverse consequences as a result of applicable laws or regulations. In the event that the Board of Managers terminates a Member, that Member shall immediately withdraw from the Company and cease to be a Member of the Company. Such withdrawal shall occur automatically upon termination without the necessity of any further act by the Member or any other Person. The date of termination shall be the effective date of withdrawal of the terminated Member.

(c) The Company shall pay to the terminated Member 90% of the amount of the terminated Member’s Capital Account balance (determined in accordance with the next sentence) within 90 days of termination or as soon thereafter as the Company shall have sufficient funds available and shall pay the remainder upon completion of that year’s audit. The amount of the terminated Member’s Capital Account shall be determined not more than three days prior to the date of termination. Such amounts paid to a terminated Member shall not be entitled to interest for any period after the date of termination.

(d) From and after the effective date of withdrawal of a Member, such withdrawn Member shall cease to be a Member of the Company for all purposes and the Units of a withdrawn Member shall not be included in calculating the Units of the Members required to take any action under this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 11.2(a) hereof, the Board of Managers will not unreasonably withhold its consent to the Transfer of a Member’s Units to a family member, trust, or other similar Person or entity for estate planning purposes.

(c) Conditions to Transfers. The Board of Managers may condition its consent to a Transfer under Section 11.2(a) hereof on the Transfer meeting each of the following conditions:

(i) such Transfer, itself or together with any other Transfers, would not cause the Company to be terminated under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code or result in the Company being treated as a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code (or failing any safe harbor to avoid such treatment under such Code section or the regulations promulgated thereunder) or otherwise being treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes;

(ii) such Transfer does not require the registration or qualification of such Units pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities or “blue sky” laws;

(iii) such Transfer does not result in a violation of the Investment Company Act or other laws ordinarily applicably to such transactions;

(iv) the transferor and purported transferee each shall have represented to the Managers in writing that such Transfer was not effected through a broker-dealer or matching agent that makes a market in Units or that provides a readily available, regular and ongoing opportunity to Members to sell or exchange their Units;

(v) the transferor shall reaffirm, and the purported transferee shall affirm, in writing his, her or its agreement to indemnify as described in Section 11.4 hereof;

(vi) no facts are known to the Managers that cause the Managers to conclude that such transfer will have a material adverse effect on the Company; and

(vii) the transferee has agreed in writing to become a party to, “member” under and subject to all of the terms, obligations and limitations of this Agreement.

11.3 Effect of Transfers. Upon any Transfer approved by the Board of Managers, the transferee of the transferred Units shall be entitled to receive the distributions and allocations to which the transferring Member would be entitled with respect to such transferred Units, but shall not be entitled to exercise any of the other rights of a Member with respect to such transferred Units, including, without limitation, the right to vote, unless and until such transferee is admitted to the Company as a Substituted Member pursuant to Section 11.5 hereof.

11.4 Transfer Indemnity. Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Special Member, the Managers, and each other Member (and any successor or assign of any of the foregoing) from and against all taxes, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, losses and expenses (including losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses of any judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement), joint or several, to which those persons may become subject by reason of or arising from any Transfer made in contravention of the provisions of this Agreement or any misrepresentation made by such Member in connection with any purported Transfer.

11.5 Substituted Members. No transferee of transferred Units shall be admitted as a Member (each such transferee, a “Substituted Member”) until each of the following conditions has been satisfied:

(a) the written consent of the Board of Managers, which may be withheld or granted in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board of Managers;

(b) the execution and delivery to the Company of a counterpart of this Agreement by the Substituted Member or its agent or attorney-in-fact;

(c) receipt by the Company of other written instruments that are in form and substance satisfactory to the Board of Managers (as determined in its sole discretion), including, without limitation, an opinion of counsel regarding the tax or regulatory effects of such admission;

(d) payment by the Substituted Member to the Company of an amount determined by the Board of Managers to be equal to the costs and expenses incurred in connection with such assignment, including, without limitation, costs incurred in preparing and filing such amendments to this Agreement as may be required;

(e) the updating of the books and records of the Company to reflect the Person’s admission as a Substituted Member; and

11.6 Effect of Death, Etc. The death, retirement, withdrawal, expulsion, disability, Incapacity, incompetency, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of a Member, or the occurrence of any other event under the Act that terminates the continued membership of a Member as a member of the Company, shall not cause the Company to be dissolved and its affairs to be wound up so long as the Company has at least one Member at all times. Upon the occurrence of any such event, the business of the Company shall be continued without dissolution. The legal representatives, if any, of a Member shall succeed as assignee to the Member’s Units upon death, Incapacity, incompetency, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of a Member, but shall not be admitted as a Substituted Member except under the provisions of Section 11.5 hereof and with the written consent of the Board of Managers, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion. The Units held by such legal representative of a Member shall not be included in calculating the Units of the Members required to take any action under this Agreement.

11.7 Transfers by Special Member. Notwithstanding Section 11.2(a) hereof, the Board of Managers will not unreasonably withhold its consent to the Transfer of the Special Member’s Units, including the assignment of any distributions, to an Affiliate.

In compliance with Section 31 of the Investment Company Act, the books and records of the Company, and a list of the names and residence, business or mailing addresses and Units of all Members, shall be maintained at the principal executive offices of the Company or such other location as the Board of Managers may approve. The Company shall not be required to provide any documentation or other information to Members except that which it is required to provide under the Investment Company Act, the Act or other applicable law. Each Member shall have the right to obtain from the Company from time to time upon reasonable demand for any proper purpose reasonably related to the Member’s interest as a Member of the Company, and upon paying the costs of collection, duplication and mailing, the documents and other information which the Company is required to provide under the Investment Company Act, the Act or other applicable law. Any demand by a Member pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall be in writing and shall state the purpose of such demand. The Company may maintain such other books and records and may provide such financial or other statements as the Managers or the Appropriate Officers in their discretion deem advisable. The books and records of the Company shall be audited by the Company’s independent accountants as of the end of each Fiscal Year, commencing with the first partial Fiscal Year, of the Company.

12.2 Annual Reports to Current Members(a). As soon as practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Company shall prepare and distribute to the Members, at the expense of the Company, an annual report containing a summary of the year’s activity and such financial statements and schedules as may be required by law or as the Managers may otherwise determine.

12.3 Filing of Tax Returns. The Company will furnish to Members, as soon as practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year, information that is necessary for Members to complete their income tax or information returns along with any other tax information required by law, including Schedule K-1. The Appropriate Officers shall prepare and file, or cause the Company’s accountants to prepare and file, a federal information tax return and any required state and local income tax and information returns for each taxable year of the Company. The Managers have sole and absolute discretion regarding the preparation and filing of such tax and information returns, including whether or not to prepare and file (or cause its accountants to prepare and file) composite, group or similar state, local and foreign tax returns on behalf of the Members where and to the extent permissible under applicable law. Any taxes paid by the Company in connection with any such composite, group or similar filing shall be treated as an advance to the relevant Members (with interest being charged thereon) and shall be recouped by the Company out of any distributions subsequently made to such relevant Members. Such advances may be funded by Company borrowing. Both the deduction for interest payable by the Company with respect to any such borrowing, and the corresponding income from interest received by the Company from the relevant Members, shall be specifically allocated to such Members.

12.4 Certain Tax Information. Each Member shall execute any relevant document, furnish any information and documentation (including an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8, as applicable) or otherwise take any action as the Board of Managers determines necessary for the Company to comply with any tax accounting, withholding or reporting obligation.

12.5 Determinations Binding. Any determination made or position taken by the Managers with respect to tax filing or accounting matters shall be final and binding upon the Members and their respective legal representatives and the Members agree to file consistently with such determinations or positions of the Managers.

ARTICLE XIII.

DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION

13.1 Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(a) the expiration of the term of the Company, except to the extent extended pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof;

(b) the election by the Managers to dissolve the Company prior to the expiration of its term, subject to the consent of a Supermajority of Members and any requirements under the Investment Company Act;

(d) a decree of dissolution entered against the Company under the Act.

Dissolution of the Company shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Company shall not terminate until the assets of the Company have been distributed as provided in Section 13.2 hereof and the Certificate of Formation of the Company has been canceled.

13.2 Liquidation. On dissolution of the Company, a liquidator (who shall be selected by the Board of Managers, if still constituted, and otherwise shall be a Person proposed and approved by a Majority in Interest of the Members) shall cause to be prepared a statement setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the date of dissolution, and such statement shall be furnished to all of the Members. Then, those Company assets that the liquidator determines should be liquidated shall be liquidated as promptly as possible, but in an orderly and business-like manner to maximize proceeds. Assets that the liquidator determines to distribute in kind shall be so distributed in a manner consistent with applicable law. If the liquidator determines that an immediate sale at the time of liquidation of all or part of the Company’s assets would be unduly disadvantageous to the Members, the liquidator may either defer liquidation and retain the assets for a reasonable time, or distribute the assets to the Members in kind. The liquidator shall then wind up the affairs of the Company and distribute the proceeds of the Company by the end of the calendar year of the liquidation (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation) in the following order or priority:

(a) to the payment of the expenses of liquidation and to creditors (including Members who are creditors, to the extent permitted by law) in satisfaction of liabilities of the Company other than liabilities for distributions to Members, in the order of priority as provided by law; then

(b) to the setting up of any reserves that the liquidator may deem necessary or appropriate for any anticipated obligations or contingencies of the Company or of the liquidator arising out of or in connection with the operation or business of the Company. Such reserves may be paid over by the liquidator to an escrow agent or trustee proposed and approved by the liquidator to be disbursed by such escrow agent or trustee in payment of any of the aforementioned obligations or contingencies and, if any balance remains at the expiration of such period as the liquidator shall deem advisable, to be distributed by such escrow agent or trustee in the manner hereinafter provided; and then

(c) to the Members or their legal representatives in accordance with the distribution priority set forth in Section 8.2(a).

13.3 Termination. The liquidator shall comply with any requirements of the Act or other applicable law pertaining to the winding up of a limited liability company, at which time the Company shall stand terminated.
