(b) Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx each shall be an original “Designated Member.” The Designated Members may designate any one or more other

Members as successor or additional Designated Members, which successor or additional Designated Members shall exercise all rights and duties of the Designated Members hereunder. A Designated Member shall cease to be a Designated Member only if he (A) Withdraws or (B) consents in his sole discretion to resign as a Designated Member, but does not Withdraw. Except as specified in the preceding sentence, a Designated Member may not be removed without his consent.

(c) Any action by the Designated Members pursuant to this Agreement shall require the unanimous approval of all the then-serving Designated Members. Upon any Designated Member ceasing to be a Designated Member pursuant to Section 3.1(b), the remaining Designated Members shall exercise all rights and duties of the Designated Members hereunder. At any time when there shall not be any Designated Members, all of the powers vested in the Designated Members pursuant to this Agreement and the LLC Act shall be exercised by a Majority in Interest of Class A Members, including all matters relating to the governance of the Company and the establishment of a new management structure.

(d) All decisions and determinations (howsoever described herein) to be made by the Designated Members or Class A Members pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in their discretion. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise applicable provision of law or equity, whenever in this Agreement the Designated Members or Class A Members are permitted or required to make a decision in their “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, such Designated Members or Class A Members shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as they desire, including their own interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or the Members. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Class A Members have no authority to bind the Company.

3.2 Class B Members Class B Members shall have no right to participate in the management of the Company or to receive any information concerning the affairs of the Company and shall not have any other rights of a Member under this Agreement other than to cause Foreign Voting Interests held by any Affiliate of the Company or the Issuer to be voted in accordance with the directions provided by such Class B Members pursuant to Section 3.3(m). The Company will ensure that there are not less than 12 Class B Members at all times. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Class B Members have no authority to bind the Company.

3.3 Board of Directors.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction of a committee of the Company (the “Board”) consisting of one or more natural persons designated as directors of the Company as provided below (“Directors”). A Director shall be a “manager” within the meaning of the LLC Act. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, no Member, by virtue of its status as such, shall have any management power over the business and affairs of the Company or actual or, to the fullest extent permitted by law, apparent, authority to enter into, execute or deliver contracts on behalf of, or to otherwise

bind, the Company. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the authority and functions of the Board shall be identical to the authority and functions of the board of directors of a corporation organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law. In addition to the powers that now or hereafter can be granted to managers under the LLC Act and to all other powers granted under any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Board shall have full power and authority to do all things and on such terms as it determines to be necessary or appropriate to conduct the business of the Company and to exercise all powers and effectuate the purposes set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, the Board shall not be responsible for the day-to-day business, operations and affairs of the Subsidiaries and Advised Entities, including transactions entered into by a Subsidiary or an Advised Entity in the ordinary course.

(b) A Majority in Interest of Class A Members shall have full authority unilaterally to determine the number of Directors to constitute the Board (which number of Directors may be increased or decreased by a Majority in Interest of Class A Members) and the term of office in connection thereto. A Majority in Interest of Class A Members shall have full authority unilaterally to appoint such individuals to be Directors as they shall choose in their discretion, and to remove and replace any Director, with or without cause, at any time and for any reason or no reason, and to fill any positions created by the Board as a result of an increase in the size of the Board or vacancies. So long as the Company shall serve as the general partner of the Issuer, a majority of the Directors shall be “independent” as that term is defined in the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the “NYSE”) from time to time (the “Independent Directors”). Each Director appointed shall hold office until a successor is appointed and qualified or until such Director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. Directors need not be Members.

(c) Any Director may resign at any time by giving notice of such Director’s resignation in writing or by electronic transmission to the Designated Members or any Chairman or Co-Chairman of the Board or the Secretary of the Board. Any such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if the time when it shall become effective shall not be specified therein, then it shall take effect immediately upon its receipt by the Company. Unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

(d) The Board shall have the authority to fix the compensation of Directors or to establish policies for the compensation of Directors and for the reimbursement of expenses of Directors, in each case, in connection with services provided by Directors to the Company. The Directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at such meeting of the Board and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board or a stated salary as Director. No such payment shall preclude any Director 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, or their service as committee members may be compensated as part of their stated salary as a Director.

(e) The Board may hold meetings, both regular and special, within or outside the State of Delaware. Regular meetings of the Board may be held without notice at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the Board. Special

meetings of the Board may be called by any Chairman or Co-Chairman of the Board or, in the absence of a Chairman or Co-Chairman of the Board, by any Director on at least twenty-four (24) hours’ (or less in times of emergency) notice to each Director, either personally or by telephone or by mail, telegraph, telex, cable, wireless or other form of communication at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the Board. Notice of any such meeting need not be given to any Director, however, if waived by such Director in writing or by telegraph, telex, cable, wireless or other form of communication, or if such Director shall be present at such meeting. A Majority in Interest of Class A Members may appoint a “Chairman,” “Co-Chairman,” “Vice Chairman” and “Secretary” of the Board. At each meeting of the Board, any Chairman or Co-Chairman of the Board or, in the absence of a Chairman or Co-Chairman of the Board, a Director chosen by a majority of the Directors present, shall act as chairman of the meeting. In case the Secretary of the Board shall be absent from any meeting of the Board, a Director chosen by a majority of the Directors present shall act as secretary of the meeting.

(f) At all meetings of the Board, a majority of the then total number of Directors 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 then total number of Directors shall be the act of the Board. 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.

(g) Any potential conflict of interest that could result in a direct or indirect financial or personal benefit to a Director must be disclosed in good faith or known to the Board or committee authorizing a contract, transaction or other matter. A Director shall not be obligated to abstain from voting on any matter (or vote in any particular manner) because of any interest (or conflict of interest) of such Director in such matter; provided that the interest (or conflict of interest) of such Director is disclosed to the other Directors prior to any vote thereon. If such Director abstains from voting on such matter, the act of a majority of the then total number of disinterested Directors shall be the act of the Board.

(h) Except as expressly set forth herein, the Board may, by resolution or resolutions passed by a majority of the then total number of members of the Board, designate one (1) or more committees, each committee to consist of one (1) or more of the Directors of the Company, which, to the extent provided in such resolution or resolutions, shall have and may exercise, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the powers and authority of the Board granted hereunder. A majority of all the members of any such committee may determine its action and fix the time and place, if any, of its meetings and specify what notice thereof, if any, shall be given, unless the Board shall otherwise provide. The Board shall have power to change the members of any such committee at any time, to fill vacancies and to discharge any such committee, either with or without cause, at any time. The Board may designate one (1) or more Directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. 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. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board when required.

(iv) the Board shall have an Executive Committee of the Board; such committee shall be comprised of the Chairman or Co-Chairmen of the Board and any other Director or Directors selected by the Chairman or Co-Chairmen from time to time; and such committee shall have and exercise such power and authority as the Board shall specify from time to time; provided that, the Executive Committee shall not be authorized or empowered to take actions that have been specifically delegated to other Board committees or to take actions with respect to (A) the declaration of distributions on the common units of the Issuer; (B) a merger, sale or combination of the Issuer with or into another person; (C) a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets, taken as a whole, of the Issuer; (D) a liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer; (E) any action that must be submitted to a vote of the holder’s of the Company’s Shares or the common units of the Issuer; or (F) any action that may not be delegated to a Board committee under this Agreement or the LLC Act.

(j) Directors, or members of any committee designated by the Board, may participate in meetings of the Board, or any committee thereof, 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.

(k) Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting by the Board or any committee thereof, as the case may be, may be taken without a meeting if a consent thereto is signed or transmitted electronically, as the case may be, by all members of the Board or of such committee, as the case may be, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or such committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

(l) To the extent of their powers set forth in this Agreement, 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.

3.4 Approval of Certain Matters. Notwithstanding Section 3.3 (other than Section 3.3(m)) and this Section 3.4, the Board shall not authorize, approve or ratify any of the following actions or any plan with respect thereto without the prior approval of a Majority in Interest of Class A Members, which approval may be in the form of an action by written consent of a Majority in Interest of Class A Members:

(a) entry into a debt financing arrangement by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, in an amount in excess of 10% of the then existing long-term indebtedness of the Issuer (other than the entry into of a debt financing arrangement between or among any of the Issuer and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries);

(b) the issuance by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of any Securities that would (i) represent, after such issuance, or upon conversion, exchange or exercise, as the case may be, at least 5% on a fully diluted, as converted, exchanged or exercised basis, of any class of equity Securities of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) have designations, preferences, rights, priorities or powers that are more favorable than those of the common units of the Issuer; provided that no such approval shall be required for issuance of Securities that are issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Securities that were issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement;

(d) the amendment of the Issuer Limited Partnership Agreement or the Group Partnership Agreements;

(e) the exchange or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, taken as a whole, of the Issuer or any Group Partnership in a single transaction or a series of related transactions;

(k) the withdrawal, removal or substitution of the Company as the general partner of the Issuer or any person as the general partner of a Group Partnership, or the direct or indirect transfer of beneficial ownership of all or any part of a general partner interest in the Issuer or a Group Partnership to any Person other than a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Issuer.

3.5 Officers. A Majority in Interest of Class A Members may, from time to time as they deem advisable, select one or more natural persons who are members, partners or employees of the Company or its Affiliates and designate them as the “Chief Executive Officer” or “Co-Chief Executive Officers” of the Company. Such Chief Executive Officer or Co-Chief Executive Officers may, from time to time as they deem advisable, select natural persons who are members, partners or employees of the Company or its Affiliates and designate them as officers of the Company (together with the Chief Executive Officer or Co-Chief Executive Officers, the “Officers”) and assign titles to any such persons, including “Chief Operating Officer,” “Chief Financial Officer,” “General Counsel,” “Chief Administrative Officer,” “Chief Compliance Officer,” “Principal Accounting Officer,” “President,” “Vice President,” “Treasurer,” “Assistant Treasurer,” “Secretary,” “Assistant Secretary,” “General Manager,” “Senior Managing Director,” “Managing Director,” “Director” or “Principal.”

Unless the Board decides otherwise, if the title is one commonly used for officers of a corporation formed under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such person of the authorities and duties that are normally associated with that office. The Board may delegate to any Officer any of the Board’s powers under this Agreement, including the power to bind the Company. Any delegation pursuant to this Section 3.5 may be revoked at any time by the Board. Subject to Section 3.4, an Officer may be removed with or without cause by the Board. The Officers, to the extent of their powers set forth in this Agreement or otherwise vested in them by action of the Board not inconsistent with this Agreement, are agents of the Company for the purpose of the Company’s business and the actions of the Officers taken in accordance with such powers shall bind the Company.

3.6 Authorization. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company, and any Officer on behalf of the Company, is hereby authorized, without the need for any further act, vote or consent of any Member or other person (directly or

indirectly through one or more other entities, in the name and on behalf of the Company, on its own behalf or in its capacity as general partner of the Issuer, or as general or limited partner, member or holder of any other equity interest of any KKR Entity) (i) to execute and deliver, and to perform the Company’s obligations under, the Issuer Limited Partnership Agreement, including serving as a general partner thereof, (ii) to execute and deliver, and to cause the Issuer to perform its obligations under, the governing agreement, as amended, restated and/or supplemented (each a “KKR Entity Governing Agreement”), of any other partnership, limited liability company or other entity (each a “KKR Entity”) of which the Issuer is or is to become a general or limited partner, member or other equity owner, including serving as a general or limited partner, member or other equity owner of each KKR Entity, and (iii) to take any action, in the applicable capacity, contemplated by or arising out of this Agreement, the Issuer Limited Partnership Agreement or each KKR Entity Governing Agreement (and any amendment, restatement or supplement of any of the foregoing).

ARTICLE IV

EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

4.1 Duties; Liability of Members; Exculpation.

(a) This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on any of the Members (including the Designated Members) or on their respective Affiliates. Further, the Members hereby waive any and all fiduciary duties that, absent such waiver, may exist at or be implied by law or in equity, and in doing so, recognize, acknowledge and agree that their duties and obligations to one another and to the Company are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(b) To the extent that, at law or in equity, any Member (including a Designated Member) has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to another Member, the Members (including the Designated Members) acting under this Agreement will not be liable to the Company or to any such other Member for their good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities relating thereto of any Member (including a Designated Member) otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace to that extent such other duties and liabilities of the Members relating thereto (including the Designated Members).

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Member or any of such Member’s representatives or agents or any Director, Officer, employee, trustee, fiduciary, partner, member, representative or agent of the Company or any of its Affiliates or any person who is or was serving at the request of a Member or the Board as a director, officer, employee, trustee, fiduciary, partner, member, representative, agent or advisor of another person (individually, a “Covered Person” and collectively, the “Covered Persons”) shall be liable to the Company or any other Member for any losses, claims, demands, damages, liabilities (joint or several), expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising as a result of any act or omission (in relation to the

Company, this Agreement, any related document or any transaction or investment contemplated hereby or thereby) of a Covered Person, or for any breach of contract (including breach of this Agreement) or any breach of duties (including breach of fiduciary duties) whether arising hereunder, at law, in equity or otherwise, unless there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter in question, the Covered Person acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud or willful misconduct; provided that a person shall not be a Covered Person by reason of providing, on a fee-for-services basis or similar arm’s-length compensatory basis, agency, advisory, consulting, trustee, fiduciary or custodial services.

(d) Each Covered Person shall be entitled to rely in good faith on the advice of legal counsel to the Company, accountants, other experts and financial or professional advisors, and no act or omission taken or suffered by any Covered Person on behalf of the Company or in furtherance of the interests of the Company in good faith in reliance upon and in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants, other experts and financial or professional advisors will be full justification for any such act or omission, and each Covered Person will be fully protected in so acting or omitting to act so long as such counsel, accountants, other experts and financial or professional advisors were selected with reasonable care.

4.2 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify any person (including such person’s heirs, executors or administrators) who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, claim or proceeding (brought in the right of the Company or otherwise), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, including appeals, by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person was the legal representative, is or was a Covered Person for and against all loss and liability suffered and expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit, claim or proceeding, including appeals; provided that such person shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder only to the extent such person’s conduct constituted fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.2(c), the Company shall be required to indemnify a person described in such sentence in connection with any action, suit, claim or proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such person only if (x) the commencement of such action, suit, claim or proceeding (or part thereof) by such person was authorized by a Majority in Interest of Class A Members or (y) it is determined that such person was entitled to indemnification by the Company pursuant to Section 4.2(c). The indemnification of a Covered Person who is or was serving at the request of the General Partner or Partnership as a director, officer, employee, trustee, fiduciary, partner, member, representative, agent or advisor of another Person (but not with respect to any other type of Covered Person) shall be secondary to any and all indemnification to which such Person is entitled from, firstly, the relevant corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company, nonprofit entity or other enterprise, and from, secondly, the relevant Fund, and will only be paid to the extent the primary indemnification is not paid and the proviso set forth in

the first sentence of this Section 4.2(a) does not apply; provided that such corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company, nonprofit entity or other enterprise and such Fund shall not be entitled to contribution or indemnification from or subrogation against the Partnership, unless otherwise mandated by applicable law. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Partnership makes an indemnification payment or advances expenses to a Person entitled to primary indemnification, the Partnership shall be subrogated to the rights of such Person against the entity or entities responsible for the primary indemnification. The Partnership shall not impose any additional conditions, other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement, to indemnification or the advancement of expenses and shall not seek or agree to any judicial or regulatory bar order that would prohibit a Person entitled to indemnification or the advancement of expenses hereunder from enforcing such Person’s rights to such indemnification or advancement of expenses. “Fund” means any fund, investment vehicle or account whose investments are managed or advised by the Issuer (if any) or an affiliate thereof.

(b) Advancement of Expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall promptly pay expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by any person described in Section 4.2(a) in appearing at, participating in or defending any action, suit, claim or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, claim or proceeding, including appeals, upon presentation of an undertaking on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 4.2 or otherwise. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.2(c), the Company shall be required to pay expenses of a person described in Section 4.2(a) in connection with any action, suit, claim or proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such person only if (x) the commencement of such action, suit, claim or proceeding (or part thereof) by such person was authorized by a Majority in Interest of Class A Members or (y) it is determined that such person was entitled to indemnification by the Company pursuant to Section 4.2(c).

(c) Unpaid Claims. If a claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of such action, suit, claim or proceeding) or advancement of expenses under this Section 4.2 is not paid in full within thirty (30) days after a written claim therefor by any person described in Section 4.2(a) has been received by the Company, such person may file proceedings to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Company shall have the burden of proving that such person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

(d) Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person described in Section 4.2(a) against any liability asserted against such person, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Section 4.2 or otherwise.

(e) Enforcement of Rights. The provisions of this Section 4.2 shall be applicable to all actions, claims, suits or proceedings made or commenced on or after the date of this Agreement, whether arising from acts or omissions to act occurring on, before or after

its adoption. The provisions of this Section 4.2 shall be deemed to be a contract between the Company and each person entitled to indemnification under this Section 4.2 (or legal representative thereof) who serves in such capacity at any time while this Section 4.2 and the relevant provisions of applicable law, if any, are in effect, and any amendment, modification or repeal hereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or any action, claim, suit or proceeding then or theretofore existing, or any action, suit, claim or proceeding thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part on any such state of facts. The rights of indemnification provided in this Section 4.2 shall neither be exclusive of, nor be deemed in limitation of, any rights to which any person may otherwise be or become entitled or permitted by contract, this Agreement, insurance or as a matter of law, both as to actions in such person’s official capacity and actions in any other capacity, it being the policy of the Company that indemnification of any person whom the Company is obligated to indemnify pursuant to Section 4.2(a) shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(f) Benefit Plans. For purposes of this Section 4.2, references to “persons” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries.

(g) Non-Exclusivity. This Section 4.2 shall not limit the right of the Company, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to, and purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of, persons other than persons described in Section 4.2(a).

If the parties to the dispute fail to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the request for arbitration, the International Chamber of Commerce shall make the appointment.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), the Designated Members may bring, or may cause the Company to bring, on behalf of the Designated

Members or the Company or on behalf of one or more Members, an action or special proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of compelling a party to arbitrate, seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration hereunder, or enforcing an arbitration award and, for the purposes of this paragraph (b), each Member (i) expressly consents to the application of paragraph (c) of this Section 9.1 to any such action or proceeding, (ii) agrees that proof shall not be required that monetary damages for breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate, and (iii) irrevocably appoints the Designated Members as such Member’s agents for service of process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees that service of process upon any such agent, who shall promptly advise such Member of any such service of process, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Member in any such action or proceeding.

(c) Each Member, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) irrevocably agrees that any claims, suits, actions or proceedings arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement (including any claims, suits or actions to interpret, apply or enforce this Section 9.1 or any judicial proceeding ancillary to an arbitration or contemplated arbitration arising out of or relating to or concerning this Agreement) shall be exclusively brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, any other court in the State of Delaware with subject matter jurisdiction; (ii) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in connection with any such claim, suit, action or proceeding; (iii) irrevocably agrees not to, and waives any right to, assert in any such claim, suit, action or proceeding that (A) it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts or any other court to which proceedings in such courts may be appealed, (B) such claim, suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, or (C) the venue of such claim, suit, action or proceeding is improper; (iv) expressly waives any requirement for the posting of a bond by a party bringing such claim, suit, action or proceeding; (v) consents to process being served in any such claim, suit, action or proceeding by mailing, certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices hereunder, and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof; provided, that nothing in clause (v) hereof shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law; and (vi) irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any such claim, suit, action or proceeding.

C. § 5701 et seq.) (the “Delaware Arbitration Act”). If, nevertheless, it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision or wording of this Section 9.1, including any rules of the International Chamber of Commerce, shall be invalid or unenforceable under the Delaware Arbitration Act, or other applicable law, such invalidity shall not invalidate all of this Section 9.1. In that case, this Section 9.1 shall be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it valid or enforceable within the requirements of the Delaware Arbitration Act or other applicable law, and, in the event such term or provision cannot be so limited, this Section 9.1 shall be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable provision.

9.2 Amendments and Waivers.

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder (other than a failure or delay beyond a period of time specified herein) 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. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

(c) Each Member hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights that it may have to maintain an action for judicial accounting or for partition of any of the Company’s property.
