as set forth in the Pre-emptive Rights Notice, all or any portion of the Pre-emptive Securities commensurate with its Class A Pro Rata Share. In any Exercise Notice, the Member electing to exercise its pre-emptive rights pursuant to this Section 3.3 (each, an “Electing Member”) shall specify the number of Pre-emptive Securities, up to its Class A Pro Rata Share, that it desires to purchase. Any Member who fails to give the Company an Exercise Notice during the Exercise Period shall be deemed to have forfeited such Member’s right to acquire the Pre-emptive Securities offered pursuant to such Pre-emptive Rights Notice but, for the avoidance of doubt, any such failure shall not affect such Member’s pre-emptive rights pursuant to this Section 3.3 with respect to any future issuances or sales of Pre-emptive Securities.

(e)The rights set forth in this Section 3.3 shall not apply in respect of any issuance of any Class B Interests in accordance with this Agreement.

(a)In order for the Company to determine the Members entitled to (i) notice of or to vote at any meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, (ii) express consent to action in writing without a meeting, (iii) receive payment of any distribution, or (iv) exercise any rights or fulfill any obligations hereunder and in order to determine the allocation of votes, rights, or obligations based on the Interests held by the Members, the Board may fix a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board and shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting.

(b)Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, to the extent that the vote of Members holding Class B Interests may be required hereunder or pursuant to a non-waivable provision of Applicable Law (if any), Class A Members and Class B Members shall vote as a single class for all purposes and the act of holders owning a majority of the issued and outstanding Capital Interests shall be the act of the Members. Each such Member shall be entitled to one vote for each Capital Interest held by such Member and to a fractional vote for any fractional Capital Interest held by such Member. For the purposes of clarity, other than as provided in this Section 3.4(b) (i.e., pursuant to a non-waivable provision of Applicable Law (if any)) and Section 19.1, holders of Class B Interests do not have any voting rights with respect to such Class B Interests.

After the Effective Date, a person may be admitted to the Company as an additional or substituted Member only upon compliance with all the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement applicable thereto (including this Section 3.5) and only upon furnishing to the Company (a) an Accession Agreement and (b) such other documents or instruments as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board to effect such person’s admission as a Member. Such admission shall become effective on the date on which the Board determines that such conditions have been satisfied and when any such admission is shown on the books and records of the Company.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and/or the Act, no Member (or former Member) shall be obligated to make any contribution of capital (or lend any funds) to the Company. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Act (and without limitation of any capital contribution obligations expressly specified in this Agreement and/or the Act), no Member (or former Member) shall have any liability for the debts and/or obligations of, or any obligation to make any capital contribution or loan to, the Company. This Section 3.6 is in furtherance of, and not in limitation of, Section 18-303(a) of the Act. For avoidance of doubt, in the event that, from time to time after the Effective Date, the Company or any Subsidiary is required to provide credit support in the form of one or more letters of credit, guarantees, equity commitment letters or other similar instruments or agreements to support obligations under any Project Document (a “Support Obligation”), no Member shall be obligated to provide any such Support Obligation unless agreed to by that Member.

(a)Prior to the Additional Contributions Effective Date, each of the Investor and Blue Bird agrees to pay or cause to be paid fifty percent (50%) of all reasonable, necessary and documented costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Company as mutually agreed from time to time by the Investor and Blue Bird, and on the Additional Contributions Effective Date such payments shall be treated as deemed Capital Contributions of such Member to the extent of any such payments actually made; provided that to the extent the Investor and Blue Bird agree from time to time to reimburse each other for any such costs and expenses to the extent of any imbalance thereof prior to the Additional Contributions Effective Date, any such amounts reimbursed shall not be deemed Capital Contributions of the relevant Member. If (i) an Event of Default occurs with respect to a Member, (ii) a Member terminates its obligations to make any Capital Contributions in accordance with Section 4.4, or (iii) the Company is otherwise dissolved pursuant to Section 11, in each case prior to the Additional Contributions Effective Date, then each of the Investor and Blue Bird shall prepare and deliver to each other a statement showing the aggregate amount of costs and expenses that were agreed pursuant to this clause (b) and were actually paid or caused to be paid by such Member, and, to the extent of any imbalance between the parties, the party in deficit shall promptly reimburse the other party upon receipt of an invoice from such other party.

(b)On the Additional Contributions Effective Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to each Member a statement showing the aggregate amount of costs and expenses that were agreed pursuant to clause (b) above, and were actually paid or caused to be paid by each Member from the Effective Date until the Additional Contributions Effective Date. The cash amount of each Member’s initial Capital Contribution to be made on or following the Additional Contributions Effective Date shall then be adjusted by the amount of such net balance, such that any Member who has paid or caused to be paid more than its proportionate share of costs and expenses shall make a lower cash Capital Contribution, and any Member who has paid or caused to be paid less than its proportionate share of costs and expenses shall make a higher cash Capital Contribution, in order to equalize the aggregate Capital Contributions of the Members as of the initial Capital Contribution to be made on or following the Additional Contributions Effective Date.

(a)Class A Additional Capital Contributions

(i)After the Additional Contributions Effective Date and otherwise in accordance with the Capital Contribution Timeline or as determined by the Board based on cash flow needs from time to time, the Board shall (i)(x) determine the Company’s cash-on-hand and (y) estimate the amount of the anticipated and actual aggregate cash expenditures of the Company in respect of Corporate Expenses coming due and payable during the following three months, which amount together with amounts previously expended in respect of Corporate Expenses shall not exceed one hundred and ten percent (110%) of such amounts as set forth in the then-current Budget, and (ii) promptly thereafter, cause the Company, by written notice to the Members (a “Capital Call Notice”), to make a call for Capital Contributions from the Class A Members in an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of the amounts described in clause (i)(y) over the amount described in clause (i)(x).

(ii)All Capital Contributions pursuant to this Section 4.2(a) will be made (i) by the Class A Members in accordance with their Drawdown Percentage, and (ii) within thirty (30) days of delivery of the corresponding Capital Call Notice unless a later date is specified

by the Board in the subject Capital Call Notice, in which case such Capital Contributions shall be made by that date.

(iii)Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Class A Member shall be obligated to make any Capital Contribution pursuant to this Section 4.2(a) to the extent that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions in respect of such Class A Member’s Class A Interests, made by such Class A Member would exceed its respective Class A Commitment Amount.

(iv)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in respect of any call for a Capital Contribution under this Section 4.2(a), if any Class A Member has previously satisfied, or as a result of partially funding the requested amount under the relevant Capital Call Notice will satisfy, its Class A Commitment Amount, and declines to fund additional Capital Contributions in excess of its Class A Commitment Amount, then in such case the other Class A Member may make none, all, or any part of the Capital Contributions requested in such Capital Call Notice above its Drawdown Percentage (including disproportionate Capital Contributions in respect of the relevant Capital Call Notice inconsistent with its Drawdown Percentage).

(b)Class B Additional Capital Contributions

(i)After the Additional Contributions Effective Date, in connection with the approval by the Board of any new Company Project and otherwise in accordance with the Capital Contributions Timeline or as determined by the Board based on cash flow needs from time to time from, the Board shall (i)(x) determine the Company’s cash-on-hand and (y) estimate the amount of the anticipated and actual aggregate cash expenditures of the Company in respect of Asset Expenses in accordance with the applicable budget for such Company Project and (ii) promptly thereafter cause the Company to issue a Capital Call Notice to the Members to make a call for Capital Contributions from the Class B Members in an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of the amounts described in clause (i)(y) over the amount described in clause(i)(x).

(ii)Each call for Capital Contributions from Class B Members in respect of their Class B Commitment Amount must be for a minimum of $1,000,000 per Class B Member and may be made no more frequently than once per month.

(iii)All Capital Contributions pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) will be made (i) by the Class B Members in accordance with their Drawdown Percentage, and (ii) within thirty (30) days of delivery of the corresponding Capital Call Notice unless a later date is specified by the Board in the subject Capital Call Notice, in which case such Capital Contributions shall be made by that date.

(iv)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(A)No Class B Member shall be obligated to make any Capital Contribution pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) to the extent that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions in respect of such Class B Member’s Class B Interests, made by such Class B Member would exceed its respective Class B Commitment Amount;

(B)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in respect of any call for Capital Contributions pursuant to this Section 4.2(b), if any Class B Member has previously satisfied, or as a result of partially funding the requested amount under the relevant Capital Call Notice will satisfy, its applicable Class

B Commitment Amount, and declines to fund additional Capital Contributions in excess of its Class B Commitment Amount, then in such case each other Class B Member may make none, all, or any part of the Capital Contributions requested in such Capital Call Notice above its Drawdown Percentage (including disproportionate Capital Contributions in respect of the relevant Capital Call Notice inconsistent with its Drawdown Percentage);

(C)No Class B Member shall be obligated to make any Capital Contribution in respect of its Class B Interests prior to the satisfaction or waiver of each Class B Capital Call Condition; and

(D)No Class B Member shall be obligated to make any Capital Contribution in respect of Class B Interests after the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Blue Bird shall not be obligated to make any Capital Contribution pursuant to this Section 4.2 to the extent it would cause the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made by Blue Bird in any Fiscal Year to exceed $10,000,000 without its prior written consent (the “Annual Limit”). To the extent the Company issues Capital Call Notices that would cause Blue Bird to exceed the Annual Limit and Blue Bird declines to fund Capital Contributions in accordance with its Drawdown Percentage, the Investor may, but shall not be obligated to, extend a Member Loan to cover such amounts in accordance with the terms of Section 4.3 below; provided that such Member Loan shall initially be extended to the Company, and shall convert to a Member Loan extended to Blue Bird as the Non-Contributing Member for purposes of Section 4.3 upon the end of the Fiscal Year in which such Member Loan was made (being such time as the relevant Annual Limit no longer applies).

(d)All Capital Contributions (other than in kind Capital Contributions) shall be made in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer or other direct funds transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account of the Company specified in writing by the Company.

(e)The Board may from time to time, in its discretion, request or accept funding by way of subordinated loans from the Members in lieu of Capital Contributions on terms to be determined at such time.

(f)The Members shall not have any right to make additional Capital Contributions to the Company except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(a)If a Member fails to make all or part of any Capital Contribution (such amount its “Unfunded Contribution”) requested under Section 4.2 within thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice from the Board of such request (a “Non-Contributing Member”), the other Member(s) will have the option, but not be obligated, to contribute to the Company all or part of the Unfunded Contribution (each such Member who funds any part of an Unfunded Contribution, a “Contributing Member”). If the proposed contributions by the Contributing Members exceed the Unfunded Contribution, then each Contributing Member may fund a portion of the Unfunded Contribution on a pro rata basis according to the respective Class A Pro Rata Share or Class B Pro Rata Share (as applicable) of such Contributing Members in place of such Non-Contributing Member. The amount contributed by any Contributing Member in accordance with the foregoing sentence is deemed a “Member Loan”, which will be treated as loaned by such Contributing Member to the Non-Contributing Member (or as applicable under Section 4.2(c), to the Company), and in turn, contributed by the Non-Contributing Member to the Company.

The Non-Contributing Member hereby agrees that the proceeds of the Member Loan may be paid directly to the Company by such Contributing Member.

(b)Any such Member Loan shall bear interest at a rate equal to (i) if such Member Loan is made prior to the satisfaction of the Non-Contributing Member’s applicable Commitment Amount for the relevant period, [REDACTED] per annum, accruing monthly in arrears or (ii) if such Member Loan is made after the satisfaction of the Non-Contributing Member’s applicable Commitment Amount, [REDACTED] per annum, accruing monthly in arrears.

(c)If the Non-Contributing Member fails to repay such Member Loan within (i) if such Member Loan is made prior to the satisfaction of the Non-Contributing Member’s applicable Commitment Amount for the relevant period, one-hundred twenty (120) days of the date on which such Member Loan was made or (ii) if such Member Loan is made after the satisfaction of the Non-Contributing Member’s applicable Commitment Amount for the relevant period, one-hundred twenty (120) days from the end of the Fiscal Year in which such Member Loan was made, then an Event of Default shall occur in respect of such Non-Contributing Member and the Contributing Member shall have the right, at its discretion, to:

(i)continue to extend such Member Loan, in which case until such time as the Member Loan has been repaid in full by the Non-Contributing Member, all distributions pursuant to this Agreement that would otherwise be paid (whether in cash or in kind) to the Non-Contributing Member shall be deemed to be paid to such Non-Contributing Member but shall actually be paid directly to the Contributing Member(s) in proportion to the percentage of the total amount funded that such Contributing Member funded and any such distributions actually and irrevocably received by such Contributing Member shall be credited towards and be deemed to constitute repayment of any Member Loan (including principal and interest) actually made by such Contributing Member (“Distribution Diversion”); and/or

(ii)convert such Member Loan at the Conversion Rate into equity, in which case the Non-Contributing Member’s Class A Pro Rata Share or Class B Pro Rata Share (as applicable) will be decreased and the Class A Pro Rata Share or Class B Pro Rata Share (as applicable) of all Contributing Members shall be increased to reflect their respect percentages of Capital Contributions to the Company, and any then-current Distribution Diversion in favor of such Contributing Member shall cease.

If any of the milestone events listed in Exhibit 4 (each a “Milestone”) fail to occur by the corresponding milestone date for such event described in Exhibit 4 (each such date, a “Milestone Date”), any Capital Member may, by written notice to the other Members within 120 days following the failure to achieve such Milestone by the applicable Milestone Date, terminate its respective obligations to make any Capital Contributions under this Section 4 or to otherwise fund the Company. Following such notice by any Capital Member, the Capital Members shall cooperate in good faith to determine a plan for the continued operation or transfer of any existing Company Projects and eventual wind down and dissolution of the Company following runoff or transfer of such Company Projects.

At any time following the Effective Date, and from time to time, the Board shall have the right to redeem the Class B Interests in whole or in part (a “Voluntary Redemption”) for an amount, paid in cash, equal to [REDACTED]% of the Liquidation Preference for such Class B Interests (the “Voluntary Redemption Amount”). Whenever the Board has elected to exercise a Voluntary Redemption pursuant to this Section 4.5, the Company shall provide the Class B Members with written notice of its intention

to exercise such Voluntary Redemption, and such purchase shall be consummated not earlier than ten (10) and not later than twenty (20) Business Days following the date that such notice is delivered to Class B Members.

(a)A Capital Account shall be maintained for each Member in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). The Capital Account of each Member shall be credited with (i) the amount of any Capital Contribution made in cash by such Member, (ii) the Agreed Value (net of any liabilities the Company is considered to assume under or take subject to Section 752 of the Code) of any Capital Contribution made in property other than cash by such Member, (iii) allocations to such Member of Net Income pursuant to Section 5.2, and (iv) any other item required to be credited for proper maintenance of capital accounts by the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code. A Member’s Capital Account shall be debited with (w) the amount of any cash distributed to such Member, (x) the Agreed Value (net of liabilities that such Member is considered to assume under or take subject to Section 752 of the Code) of any property other than cash distributed to such Member, (y) allocations to such Member of Net Loss pursuant to Section 5.2, and (z) any other item required to be debited for proper maintenance of capital accounts by the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code. Each Member’s Capital Account shall be adjusted as required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect a revaluation of Company Property at Agreed Value upon the occurrence of any event described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(5) based upon the manner in which gain or loss upon a sale of all the assets of the Company for Agreed Value would be allocated. A Member that has more than one class or series of Interests shall have a single Capital Account that reflects all such Interests; provided, however, that the Capital Accounts shall be maintained in such manner as will facilitate a determination of the portion of each Capital Account attributable to each class or series of Interests.

(b)In the event that all or any portion of any Member’s Interests are transferred in accordance with this Agreement, the transferee(s) of such Interests shall succeed to all or the corresponding portion, as the case may be, of the transferor’s Capital Account.

(a)Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5.2(b) through (h) and (k), Net Income or Net Loss for any Fiscal Year, and to the extent that the Members determine it is necessary or appropriate, individual items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company shall be allocated among the Members so as to cause each Member’s Adjusted Capital Account balance to equal as nearly as possible (i) the amount of the distribution pursuant to Section 11.1(b)(iv) which such Member would receive if, at the end of such Fiscal Year, each Company asset were sold for an amount of cash equal to such asset’s Book Value, each liability of the Company were satisfied in cash in accordance with its terms (limited, with respect to each Nonrecourse Liability, to the Book Value of any asset or assets securing such Nonrecourse Liability), and all remaining cash of the Company were distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 11.1(b) minus (ii) such Member’s shares of Company Minimum Gain and Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.

(b)If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during a Company taxable year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in proportion to, and to the extent of, an amount equal to the portion of such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during such year (which share of such net decrease shall be determined under Treasury Regulation Section

1.704-2(g)(2)). This Section 5.2(b) is intended to be a “minimum gain chargeback” described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and is to be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(c)If there is a net decrease during a Company taxable year in the Minimum Gain Attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt (as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(3)), any Member with a share of Minimum Gain Attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt at the beginning of such year shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in proportion to, and to the extent of, an amount equal to the portion of such Member’s share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain Attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt (as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)(2)), during such year. This Section 5.2(c) is intended to be a “partner minimum gain chargeback” described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and is to be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

(d)Items of Company loss, deduction or Section 705(a)(2)(B) Expenditure that are attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated among the Members who bear the Economic Risk of Loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt. This provision is to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

(e)The Nonrecourse Deductions for each taxable year of the Company shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their Pro Rata Capital Shares.

(f)In the event that any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Company income and gain shall be specifically allocated to such member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the deficit balance, if any, in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This provision is intended to be a “qualified income offset” described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and is to be interpreted in a matter consistent therewith.

(g)To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company Property pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as a result of a distribution to a Member, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the Company Property) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis of the Company Property), and such gain or loss shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), as the case may be.

(h)In the event that any item of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or Section 705(a)(2)(B) Expenditure is allocated pursuant to Section 5.2(b) through (g), subsequent items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or Section 705(a)(2)(B) Expenditure (as determined for purposes of computing Net Income or Net Loss) shall, to the extent consistent with Section 5.2(b) through (g), be allocated between the Members so as to eliminate as quickly as possible on a proportionate basis, with respect to each Member, any disparity between (i) the sum of (x) such Member’s Capital Account balance and (y) such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debts determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g) and (i)(5) and (ii) the Capital Account which such Member would have had if all Company Minimum Gain and Minimum Gain Attributable to any Member Nonrecourse Debt had been realized and all allocations of Net Income and Net Loss

had been made pursuant to Section 5.2(a) (without giving effect to the reference therein to Section 5.2(b) through (h)).

(i)In the event that any item or items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Company or any Member (or any person related to a Member) is reallocated between the Company and any Member (or any person related to a Member) pursuant to Code Section 482, then the allocation of the income, gain, loss or deduction of the Company for the year in which such reallocation occurs shall be made in such a fashion that the Capital Accounts of all Members, after taking into account any deemed contributions or distributions arising in connection with such reallocation, shall be equal to what they would have been if no reallocation had occurred.

(j)In the event that the Pro Rata Capital Shares of the Members shall change pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, there shall be an interim closing of the books of the Company as of the close of the day of such change (the “Interest Change Date”) and the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be revalued pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) revalued effective immediately prior to the event giving rise to the interim closing of the books of the Company. The Net Income or Net Loss of the Company for the period ending on the Interest Change Date shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Capital Shares in effect prior to the Interest Change Date. The Net Income or Net Loss of the Company for any period commencing after the Interest Change Date shall be allocated to the members in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Capital Shares in effect after the Interest Change Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Interest Change Date is not the last day of a month, Net Income or Net Loss of the Company for the month in which the Interest Change Date occurs shall be prorated on a daily basis between the portion of the month ending on the Interest Change Date and the remainder of such month.

(k)In the event that any Member contributes any services to the Company, or such member otherwise provides or makes available such services to the Company and in connection therewith the Company is entitled to a current tax deduction (including depreciation and amortization allowed in any current year) in excess of the amount paid for such services by the Company in cash or property (other than an interest in the Company) or otherwise taken into account as part of the Agreed Value of such Member’s Capital Contributions contributed to the Company on the Execution Date, the amount of such excess shall be treated as a Capital Contribution by such Member and a corresponding amount of the Company’s deductions shall be specially allocated to such Member, with no net effect on such Member’s Capital Account.

For income tax purposes, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated among the Members in the manner set forth in Section 5.2; provided, however, that (a) all items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the Company by a Member or revalued pursuant to the second to last sentence of Section 5.1(a) shall, as determined by the Board, be allocated for income tax purposes so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such property and its Agreed Value at the time of contribution (or the event requiring revaluation) in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code (and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)) and the traditional or remedial method described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d), (b) any gain arising from a disposition of Company Property that is characterized as ordinary income pursuant to Section 1245 or 1250 or any other applicable provision of the Code shall, to the extent that other items can be allocated in such a way that this provision does not affect the total amount of taxable income or loss allocable to any Member for tax purposes, be allocated to the Members who were allocated the depreciation or other deductions giving rise to such ordinary income in proportion to the deductions allocated to such Members (treating any such deductions allowable to any Member or Affiliate thereof for any period during which the Company Property was held by such Member or Affiliate as deductions

allocable to such member), and (c) creditable foreign taxes shall be allocated in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(4)(viii). Any increase (or decrease) in taxable income or loss resulting from adjustments to the basis of the assets of the Company made pursuant to Section 743 of the Code shall be taken into account by the Member or Members to which such adjustment is attributable.

(a)At all times, Reserves shall be maintained and/or (with respect to Subsidiaries of the Company) caused to be maintained in amounts sufficient (determined in a reasonable and prudent manner, taking into account funds reasonably anticipated to be paid, contributed or loaned to the Company and its Subsidiaries) to provide for all reasonably possible and foreseeable present and future cash needs of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including (in each case in respect of the Company and its Subsidiaries) to provide for all reasonably possible and foreseeable present and future working capital requirements, capital expenditures, contingent liabilities and operating shortfalls, and to pay all reasonably possible and foreseeable present and future taxes, insurance, debt service and other costs, fees or expenses incident to the conduct of the business of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries. Without limitation of the preceding sentence, the Board shall review the Reserves periodically, and if any Manager requests, once every quarter.

(b)The Board shall determine in good faith as of each Quarterly Payment Date if Excess Cash exists, and if so, the Board shall (unless otherwise agreed by Unanimous Member Consent in any instance) cause the Company to distribute such Excess Cash to the Members in accordance with this Section 5.4 (including for this purpose by causing its Subsidiaries to make a prior corresponding distribution to the Company). The Board in its discretion may determine in good faith more frequently than quarterly if Excess Cash exists, and if so, the Board may cause the Company to distribute such Excess Cash to the Members in accordance with this Section 5.4.

(c)Subject to the other provisions of this Section 5.4 and Section 4.3(c), any distribution of Excess Cash shall be distributed to the Members as follows:

(i)Prior to the dissolution of the Company in accordance with Section 11:

(A)First, to the Class B Members, pro rata in accordance with their respective Class B Pro Rata Shares, until the aggregate amount distributed in respect of the Class B Interests of such Class B Member is equal to 100% of the Quarterly Distribution due and payable to such Class B Member on such Quarterly Payment Date;

(B)Second, to the Class B Members, pro rata in accordance with their respective Class B Pro Rata Shares, (x) until their respective Unreturned Class B Contributions are reduced to zero; or (y) in the event of a Voluntary Redemption, until the Voluntary Redemption Amount is reduced to zero; and

(C)The remainder, to the extent a distribution in respect of the Class A Interests is approved by the Board in accordance with Section 6.1(f), to the Class A Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Class A Pro Rata Shares.

(ii)On or after the date of dissolution of the Company in accordance with Section 11:

(A)First, to the Class B Members, pro rata in accordance with their respective Class B Pro Rata Shares, until the aggregate amount distributed in respect of the Class B Interests of such Class B Member is equal to 100% of its Liquidation Preference; and

(B)The remainder, to the Class A Members, pro rata in accordance with their respective, Class A Pro Rata Shares.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 4.3(c), if Excess Cash is insufficient to pay the Quarterly Distribution due and payable on any Quarterly Payment Date, the resulting payment shortfall in respect of the Quarterly Distribution (the “PIK Amount”) shall be paid in kind by adding such amount to the amount on which the Quarterly Distribution will be calculated thereafter (a “PIK Event”); provided, however, that once the Excess Cash becomes sufficient to pay such PIK Amount, and before any Excess Cash may be used to make the payments as per Sections 5.4(c), the Board shall cause the Company to pay such unpaid Quarterly Distribution amount to the Class B Members as part of the then-current Quarterly Distribution. The Board shall notify the Members of any such PIK Event, including details of the amount of the deficiency and the calculation of the in kind amount, on or before the Quarterly Payment Date in respect of which such PIK Event occurs.

(e)The Company shall, to the extent required by Applicable Law, withhold taxes from distributions made to any Member or pay taxes on behalf of any Member pursuant to Sections 1441 through 1446 and 1471 through 1474 of the Code or any similar provision of federal, state, local, or foreign Applicable Law. The Company shall to the extent practicable give a Member advanced notice prior to withholding any taxes from distributions made to such Member or paying taxes on behalf of such member. Any taxes so withheld shall be timely remitted to the appropriate taxing authority and shall be deemed to have been distributed to such member or, to the extent that any such tax is not withheld from a distribution, such member shall promptly reimburse the Company therefor. If any imputed underpayment (including associated interest, penalties, or additions to tax) is required to be paid by the Company pursuant to Section 6225 of the Code or other Applicable Law with respect to income allocable to a Member or former Member, such member or former Member (and, in the case of a former Member, its transferee) shall promptly (and in any event within 90 days) reimburse the Company therefor. Any amount due from a Member or a former Member to the Company pursuant to the two preceding sentences shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus 5% from the time of payment by the Company of the tax or imputed underpayment to the time of payment by the Member or former Member, and the Company may offset such amounts against distributions or other amounts due from the Company to such Member. A Member’s obligations pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall continue even if such member ceases to be a Member.

(f)The Company shall not make any distribution to its Members (other than to the Class B Members) if there shall be, at the time of any such contemplated distribution, accrued and unpaid dividends or other payments owed to any Class B Members.

(g)No distribution shall be made by the Company except as specified in, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Section 5.4 or Section 11.1(b), unless such distribution shall have been authorized by the affirmative vote of the Board or unanimous consent of the Members.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, the Board may, subject to Excess Cash amounts, cause the Company to make cash distributions to each Capital Member on the Tax Distribution Date with respect to each Fiscal Year to the extent of the required Tax Distribution, if any, of such Capital Member for such Fiscal Year; provided, however, that the Company may, upon election by the Board, make such cash distributions on a quarterly basis based upon estimates of the required Tax Distribution in a manner sufficient to permit the Members to satisfy their respective quarterly estimated tax payment obligations. All quarterly Tax Distributions to a Capital Member shall be treated as an advance of, and shall offset, the cash distribution payable to the Capital Member (pursuant to this

Section 5.5) on the next Tax Distribution Date. Any distributions made pursuant to this Section 5.5 to a Capital Member shall be treated as an advance payment of, and shall reduce, the amounts otherwise distributable to such Member pursuant to Section 5.4 in subsequent distributions.

Subject to (and without limitation of) Sections 5.4 and Section 11, (a) no interest shall be payable on the Capital Contributions or in respect of the Capital Accounts of the Members, and (b) no Member shall have the right to require that any portion of its Capital Contributions or Capital Account be returned or otherwise paid over to it.

No Member shall be required to pay to any other Member or the Company any deficit or negative balance which may exist from time to time in such Member’s Capital Account (including upon and after dissolution of the Company).

(a)There is hereby established a board of managers of the Company (the “Board”). Each member of the Board (a “Manager”) shall be considered a “manager” of the Company within the meaning of the Act, provided that the Board (and the Managers) may only act as set forth in this Agreement. All matters relating to the business of the Company shall be decided upon, carried-out and managed by the Board, except as otherwise set forth herein.

(b)Each Class A Member shall be entitled to appoint three Managers. Each Class A Member may freely appoint such Managers per their entitlement, and Managers will serve at such Class A Member’s will, provided that such Managers shall not be Disqualified Persons. For the avoidance of doubt, no Member who is not a Class A Member shall have any right to appoint one or more Managers to the Board.

(c)Each person appointed as a Manager shall serve on the Board until their successor shall be duly appointed or until their death, disability, retirement or resignation, or their removal or replacement as specified in the following sentence. Any Manager may be removed by the Member that appointed them, at any time (with or without cause), upon written notice to each other Member, the Secretary (on behalf of the Board) and the Company.

The Managers shall consider such objection in good faith and shall endeavor to resolve such objection within five (5) Business Days. The documents evidencing the adoption of resolutions shall be filed by the Secretary in the minute book of the Company to be kept on a digital platform selected by the Board and accessible at the Principal Office and remotely by the Managers and Members.

(h)On any matter that is to be voted on, consented to or approved by the Board, the Board may take such action without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if consented to or approved, in writing, by electronic transmission or by any other means permitted by law, by each of the Managers.

At any time (with or without cause), the Board may revoke any appointment, or modify, limit or amend the powers, duties or responsibilities, of any such Officer or the General Manager; provided that, if a Removal Event occurs in respect of any Officer or the General Manager, then in such case any Capital Member may by notice to the Company request the revocation of any appointment of any such Officer or the General Manager (as applicable) and the Company shall promptly revoke the appointment of such Officer or the General Manager (as applicable).

No notice of any meeting of the Members need be given to any Member if such Member waives such notice, or if such Member attends the meeting without protesting prior thereto or at its commencement the lack of notice to them. Nothing contained herein shall limit the ability of the Members to agree in advance to a schedule of regular meetings pursuant to this Section 6.6(d) and no special or further notice of any such agreed scheduled meeting need be provided to the Members.

(a)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no Member or Manager and (ii) no Affiliate, director, officer, employee, holder of any equity interests, partner, trustee, member, manager, representative or agent of a Member (each of the foregoing described in (i) or (ii), together with any Officer, an “Indemnified Person”), will be liable to the Company or any other Member for any loss, damage, liability, obligation, fine, claim, action, suit, proceeding, demand, expense, tax or similar item, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, or any attorney fees relating to any of the foregoing (collectively, “Damages”), suffered or incurred by any person on account or by reason of (including on account or by reason of any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding (a “Proceeding”) based on or arising from) any act taken or omitted to be taken in good faith in the course of representing or acting for or on behalf of or performing

services for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise in its capacity as a Member (or Partnership Representative) or Manager, as the case may be (or, in the case of a Manager, in his or her capacity as a member of the board of managers (or similar governing body with a different name or any committee thereof) of any Subsidiary of the Company), or (without limitation of the foregoing) otherwise in good-faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, except to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication (in each case which is not subject to appeal) adverse to such person establishes that his, her or its acts or omissions constituted gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, (x) each Member, will, to the maximum extent permitted by law, including Section 18-1101(d) of the Act, owe no fiduciary duties to the Company, any other Member or any other person bound by this Agreement as long as such Member acts in accordance with the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and (y) no Manager (in his or her capacity as such) appointed by a particular Member will owe any fiduciary duties to the Company, any other Member or any other person (other than the Member that appointed such Manager). Without limiting the foregoing, neither a Member, nor any Manager appointed by such Member, shall be liable to the Company or to any other Member for any mistake of fact or error in judgment or for any act or omission believed in good faith to be within the scope of authority conferred by law. Without limiting the foregoing, each Member recognizes, acknowledges and agrees that each other Member has substantial financial interests in the Company to preserve and that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the exercise by any Member of its rights under this Agreement (including, exercise of a Member of any right to direct the Managers appointed by it to authorize or approve (or refrain from authorizing or approving) any transaction to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may be a party) shall not be deemed to constitute a lack of good faith, breach of fiduciary duty or unfair dealing. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the preceding sentences of this Section 6.7(a) is in addition to, and not in limitation of, each of the other such preceding sentences.

(b)The Company will indemnify any Indemnified Person and hold them harmless from and against all Damages suffered or incurred by them (i) relating to or arising out of any act taken or omitted to be taken by such Indemnified Person in good faith in the course of serving in any office of, or otherwise representing or acting for or on behalf of or performing services for, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise in its capacity as a Member (or Partnership Representative), Manager or Officer, as the case may be (or, in the case of a Manager, in his or her capacity as a member of the board of managers (or similar governing body with a different name or any committee thereof) of any Subsidiary of the Company), or (without limitation of the foregoing) otherwise in good-faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) otherwise solely by reason of the fact that such Indemnified Person (or any other Indemnified Person in relation to the same Member) is or was a Member, the Partnership Representative, a Manager or an Officer, except to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication (in each case which is not subject to appeal) adverse to them establishes that (x) their acts constituted gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud, (y) in the case of any Member, to the extent constituting a breach of this Agreement, or (z) in the case of any Officer (or former Officer), they did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, as applicable, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, they had reasonable cause to believe they conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that (A) the Company shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Person with respect to (1) any Proceeding initiated by such Indemnified Person (unless such Proceeding was authorized by the Members (by Unanimous Member Consent)) other than directly in connection with a prior Proceeding not initiated by such Indemnified Person (or any other Indemnified Person in relation to the same Member) or (2) any Proceeding by a Member (or former Member) or any Affiliate thereof, against an Indemnified Person that is or was a Manager appointed by such Member (or former Member), with respect to any act(s) or omission(s) of such Indemnified Person in his or her capacity as such a Manager, and (B) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,

any such indemnification will be solely from the net assets of the Company, and no Member will be required to make any Capital Contribution or otherwise pay any amount from its own assets as a result thereof. Upon making a claim for indemnification, an Indemnified Person may request in writing that the Company advance to them the expenses of defending the Proceeding giving rise to such indemnification claim or appearing as a witness or other participation in a Proceeding involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the Company will advance such expenses; provided, however, that such Indemnified Person furnishes the Company with such assurances and security as may be reasonably requested by the Company to assure repayment of the amounts advanced by the Company in the event that a judgment or other final adjudication (in each case which is not subject to appeal) is rendered holding that they were not entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. The Indemnified Person shall agree to return to the Company amounts advanced by the Company in the event that a judgment or other final adjudication (in each case which is not subject to appeal) is rendered holding that they were not entitled to be indemnified by the Company in accordance with this Agreement. The indemnification provided by this Section 6.7(b) shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which each Indemnified Person may be entitled under any agreement, or as a matter of law, or otherwise, both as to any action in such Indemnified Person’s official capacity and to any action in another capacity, and shall continue as to such Indemnified Person who has ceased to have an official capacity for acts or omissions, during such official capacity or otherwise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and administrators of such Indemnified Person.

(c)In the event that any Proceeding shall be instituted or asserted or any Damages shall arise in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 6.7(b), such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company thereof in writing. Failure to provide notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations hereunder except to the extent the Company is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. The Company shall have the right to control the defense of any such Proceeding for which a claim for indemnification is sought by an Indemnified Person. In connection therewith, the Company shall have the right to retain counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, at the Company’s expense, to represent each Indemnified Person and any others the Company may designate in such Proceeding. The Company shall keep the Indemnified Person advised of the status of such Proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Indemnified Person with respect thereto. In any such Proceeding, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of such Indemnified Person’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company if (i) the Company and such Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the Company shall have failed, within a reasonable time after being notified by the Indemnified Person of the existence of an indemnified claim, to assume the defense of such indemnified claim or (iii) the defendants to any such Proceeding include both the Company and such Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel may involve the Company in a material conflict of interest. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is seeking indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of each such Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of each such Indemnified Person from all liability and claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding. The Company and each such Indemnified Person shall reasonably cooperate in the execution and delivery of agreements, instruments and other documents and in the provision of access to witnesses, documents and property, consistent with this Agreement.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly required by law, no Member, solely by reason of being a Member, shall have any liability in excess of (i) the amount of its aggregate Capital Contributions, (ii) its share of any undistributed profits and assets of the Company and (iii) the amount of any distributions wrongfully distributed to it.

(e)The Members hereby agree and acknowledge that the Investor (together with its Affiliates) (each, a “Professional Investment Organization”) is a professional investment organization, and as such reviews the business plans and related proprietary information of many enterprises, some of which may compete directly or indirectly with the Company’s business (as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted). Subject in all cases to the Investor’s obligations under Section 10.1(e), nothing in this Agreement shall preclude or in any way restrict the Professional Investment Organization from evaluating or purchasing securities, including publicly traded securities, of a particular enterprise, or investing or participating in any particular enterprise whether or not such enterprise has products or services that compete with those of the Company except as set forth in Section 10.1(e); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not contravene the confidentiality obligations in this Agreement or relieve the Investor (or its Affiliates) from liability associated with the unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information obtained pursuant to this Agreement.

No Company Property shall be deemed to be owned by any Member individually, but shall be owned by, and title shall be vested solely in, the Company, and legal title to all assets of the Company shall be taken and at all times held in the name of the Company.

Each Member shall have the right to make decisions (including with respect to directing its Managers, in their capacity as such, to act or refrain from acting), including whether to grant or withhold approval or consent, in its sole and absolute discretion, taking into account only such Member’s own views, self-interest, objectives and strategic concerns, and it is acknowledged that the Members may require corporate approvals in connection with its decisions regarding some or all of such decisions. Similarly, each Manager, in his or her capacity as such, may act (or refrain from acting) solely according to the interests (or the perceived interests) or instructions of the Member that appointed such Manager and none of the foregoing shall be deemed to breach any fiduciary duty that, pursuant to this Agreement or at law or in equity, such Manager otherwise would be deemed to have to the Company or any other Member. Neither a particular Member, nor any Manager appointed by such Member, shall have any obligation or duty to the Company or any other Member to decide any matter in a particular manner, and neither the Company nor any such other Member shall have any claim (whether relating to the fact of such decision, any delay in rendering any such decision, or the consequences thereof) by reason of such particular Member, or any Manager appointed by such particular Member, having failed to decide any matter in a particular manner.

(a)The Company shall keep or cause to be kept complete and accurate books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and supporting documentation of the transactions with respect to the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The records shall include complete and accurate information regarding the state of the business and financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries, a copy of the Certificate of Formation and this Agreement and all amendments to the Certificate of Formation and this Agreement; a current list of the names and last known business, residence, or mailing addresses of all Members; and the Company’s (and its Subsidiaries’ respective) federal, state, or local Tax Returns. The books and

records shall be maintained in accordance with GAAP, on a digital platform and access thereto shall be available (including at the Principal Office) for examination by any Member or the Member’s duly authorized representative at any time (which in the case of access from the Principal Office shall be during normal business hours) for any purpose reasonably related to such Member’s interest as a Member.

(b)The Board shall determine the annual accounting period of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their taxable year (unless a specific taxable year is otherwise required by Section 706 of the Code, in which case the taxable year shall be that which is required by Section 706 of the Code).

(c)The Board shall from time to time appoint the Company’s auditors and determine their term and compensation. The Board shall review the appointment of the auditors at least annually and if the Board shall not have reached agreement by March 31 of each Fiscal Year to appoint or replace the auditors, the appointment of the auditors of the previous year shall be considered renewed. Any auditors appointed for the Company shall be registered with the PCAOB and shall be engaged to perform all services in compliance with applicable PCAOB standards.

(d)The Members shall procure that the Company prepare and maintain (in each case on the basis of the accounting policies) at the Principal Office, and deliver to the Board and to each Member:

(i)quarterly unaudited management financial statements for the Company, containing such information as the Members shall agree from time to time, within a period determined by the Board from time to time;

Such right of access and audit should only be exercised, other than in the case of access to the digital platform where books and records are stored, with reasonable prior written Notice to the Company, to verify and authenticate any issue, including any transaction, revenue, purchase, income or expense item. Upon the exercise of such right of audit and request for provisions of information by any Member, the Members shall procure that the Company shall deliver to each Member the requested information as soon as reasonably practicable.

(g)The Members agree that the annual financial statements and/or the quarterly unaudited management financial statements of the Company shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(a)If the Managers entitled to vote or consent with respect to any matter before the Board fail to agree on the outcome of such matter with sufficient voting power as required by this Agreement, after consideration (or failure to establish a quorum) at any three (3) consecutive meetings of the Board (occurring within a period of not fewer than ninety (90) days) called to consider such matter (a “Deadlock Event”), any Capital Member may submit a written notice of such Deadlock Event (a “Deadlock Notice”) to the other Members within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of such Deadlock Event requiring that the Deadlock Event be referred to mediation, and the Members shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the Deadlock Event as follows:

(v)the Capital Members shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the Deadlock Event, in consultation with the mediator and with reference to the mediator’s recommendations, by no later than forty-five (45) days after the date on which the Deadlock Notice is given.

(b)If the Capital Members are unsuccessful at resolving the Deadlock Event through mediation then, within 30 days following the conclusion of the mediation procedure, any member of the Board may give written notice to the other Members requesting that the Deadlock Event be referred to arbitration in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 20(b). Any resulting arbitral award shall be binding and final on the Members.

(a)No Member shall Transfer any of its Interests in the Company (and each Member shall procure that no Transfer of any of such Member’s Interest occurs), except pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 8. Any Transfer, or purported Transfer, in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio and the transferee, or purported transferee, in any such Transfer, or purported Transfer, shall not become a Member or obtain any rights under this Agreement.

(b)Each (i) Class A Member may Transfer all (but not less than all) of its Class A Interests in the Company, and (ii) Class B Member may Transfer all or any portion of its Class B Interests in the Company or its Class B Commitment, in each case together with its rights or obligations under this Agreement to a Permitted Transferee of such Capital Member without the consent of the other Member. If either Capital Member Transfers its Capital Interests in accordance with the foregoing sentence to a Permitted Transferee, the Permitted Transferee shall execute and deliver to the Company an Accession Agreement upon consummation of the Transfer.

(c)In the event of a Transfer of Interests or any Class B Commitment otherwise in accordance with this Agreement, the Transferring Capital Member shall continue to be liable for all of its obligations associated with such Interests or such Class B Commitment (as applicable) arising under this Agreement, unless the Transferee is a Creditworthy Transferee (as defined below), in which case the Transferring Capital Member shall be released from such obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Interests or Class B Commitment so Transferred which arise from and after the date of the Permitted Transferee’s execution of such Accession Agreement. In the case of any Transfer of Interests or Class B Commitment by a Capital Member to a Transferee that is not a Creditworthy Transferee, the Capital Member shall deliver to the Company, simultaneously with consummation of the Transfer, Equity Commitment Support in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Capital Member. For the purposes of this paragraph, “Creditworthy Transferee” means that such person [REDACTED] [REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED]

(d)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) no Member may Transfer any of its Class A Commitment independent of its corresponding Class A Interests without the prior written consent of the other Member, and (ii) no Member may Transfer any of its unsatisfied Class B Commitment (including, for avoidance of doubt, such Member’s obligation to purchase and subscribe for Class B Interests to the extent of its unfunded Class B Commitment Amount) prior to the date that is [REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED] [REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED] [REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED]

(e)No Capital Member shall, except to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with Section 8.1(b) or with the prior written consent of the other Capital Member, directly or indirectly Transfer any or all of [REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED] [REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED] [REDACTED][REDACTED] (each such anniversary, as applicable, a “Lock-Up Date”).

(f)At any time after the applicable Lock-Up Date, (i) a Class A Member may Transfer all (but not less than all) of its Class A Interests in the Company, or (ii) a Class B Member may Transfer all or any portion of its Class B Interests in the Company, in each case to a person that is not a Permitted Transferee (a “Non-Permitted Transferee”) subject to the provisions of Section 8.1(h) and 8.1(h).

(g)A direct or indirect holder of equity interests in a Member may Transfer Interests held indirectly through the Member (i) to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with Section 8.1(b); (ii) to any person so long as such Transfer does not constitute a Change of Control of such Member; or (iii) otherwise in accordance with Section 8.1(h) as if such holder were the Member and such Transfer were a direct Transfer.

(h)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Member may Transfer any of its Interests in the Company, and each Member shall procure that no such Transfer of any of its Interests in the Company shall occur, if:

(i)such Transfer would require the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by the Company or would otherwise violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Company;

(ii)such Transfer would result in the Company being treated as anything other than a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes;

(iii)such Transfer could cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder;

(iv)such Transfer would result in the Company being regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; or

(i)If either Class A Member wishes to Transfer all or any portion of its Class A Interests in one or a series of related transactions at any time in accordance with the other terms of this Agreement (a “Tag-Along Sale”), then such Class A Member as the transferring Capital Member (in such case, the “Tag-Along Seller”) shall deliver a written notice (a “Tag-Along Notice”) to the Company, which shall provide the other Class A Member (in each such instance, the “Tag-Along Holder”) with a copy of such notice which shall offer each such Tag-Along Holder the opportunity to participate in such Transfer of Class A Interests. The Tag-Along Notice shall identify (i) the Class A Interests proposed to be sold by the Tag-Along Seller (the “Tag-Along Securities”), (ii) the fraction expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the number of Class A Interests to be purchased from the Tag-Along Seller in such Tag-Along Sale by the total number of Class A Interests held by such Tag-Along Seller (the “Tag-Along Sale Percentage”), (iii) the purchase price for the Tag-Along Securities, (iv) the name and address of each proposed transferee, (v) the proposed Transfer date and (vi) all other material terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Sale.

(j)The Tag-Along Holder shall have the right to request that the Tag-Along Seller include in the proposed Transfer a number of Interests of the same class of Interests as the Tag-Along Securities held by such Tag-Along Holder (such number of Interests shall not in any event exceed the Tag-Along Sale Percentage of the total number of Interests of the specified class of Tag-Along Securities held by such Tag-Along Holder) by delivering written notice to each of the Company and the Tag-Along Seller within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of the Tag-Along Notice (such time period, the “Tag-Along Notice Period”), and such notice shall include wire transfer instructions for payment of the purchase price for the Interests of such Tag-Along Holder to be included in the Tag-Along Sale and a limited power-of-attorney authorizing the Tag-Along Seller to Transfer such Interests on the terms set forth in the Tag-Along Notice (the “Tag-Along Response Notice”). If the Tag-Along Holder has elected to participate in such Tag-Along Sale, the Tag-Along Seller and the Tag-Along Holder (each, a “Tagging Person”) will each be entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms, with respect to the Interests to be Transferred. If at the termination of the Tag-Along Notice Period, the Tag-Along Holder has not elected to participate in the Tag-Along Sale by validly delivering a Tag-Along Response Notice, such Tag-Along Holder shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this Section 8.4 with respect to, and only with respect to, the Transfer of its Interests pursuant to such Tag-Along Sale. At the termination of the Tag-Along Notice Period, the Tag-Along Seller may Transfer its Interests pursuant to a Tag-Along Sale provided that (i) the Interests elected to be sold by the Tag-Along Holder prior to the termination of the Tag-Along Notice Period, if any, are purchased at the same time, and on the same terms, or (ii) if such prospective transferee declines to allow the participation of any Tagging Person (or to purchase all the Interests that a Tagging Person has validly elected to Transfer in connection with such Tag-Along Sale) but the Tag-Along Seller wishes to proceed with the Tag-Along Sale then the Tag-Along Seller may do so provided that simultaneously with such Tag-Along Sale, the Tag-Along Seller purchases the aggregate number of Interests from such Tagging Person which such Tagging Person is otherwise entitled to Transfer pursuant to this Section 8.4 on terms no more or less favorable to the Tag-Along Seller as set forth herein.

(k)Each participating Tagging Person shall (i) pay its pro rata share of the third party costs and expenses (together with any applicable Taxes) incurred by the Tag-Along Seller in connection with such Tag-Along Sale, to the extent that such expenses are not paid or reimbursed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) grant the same representations and warranties as the Tag-Along Seller, including in respect of identity, due authorization, solvency, non-

contravention and free and clear title on the same terms as such warranties are given by the Tag-Along Seller and (iii) be obligated to join on a several (and not joint and several) pro rata basis in the funding of any indemnification in respect of representations and warranties or otherwise or other monetary obligations that the Tag-Along Seller itself agrees to undertake in connection with such Tag-Along Sale, except that this clause (iii) shall not apply to any representations or warranties given by the Tag-Along Seller relating to identity, due authorization, non-contravention and free and clear title given by the Tag-Along Seller solely in respect of its own interests.

(l)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8.4, there shall be no liability on the part of the Tag-Along Seller to the Tag-Along Holder or any other person if the Tag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 8.4 is not consummated for any reason. Whether to effect a Tag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 8.4 by the Tag-Along Seller is in the sole and absolute discretion of the Tag-Along Seller.

(a)At any time within sixty (60) Business Days after receipt of notice by another Member, or such other Member otherwise having actual knowledge of, the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to a Member (such Member and any other Members who are Affiliates of such Member, the “Defaulting Member”, and all other Members, collectively, the “Non-Defaulting Member”), the Non-Defaulting Member may request a determination of the Fair Market Value of its Interests and the Interests of the Defaulting Member by giving the Defaulting Member written notice of such request (the “Valuation Notice”). The Non-Defaulting Member may withdraw the Valuation Notice at any time after the delivery thereof. It is understood and agreed that once a Valuation Notice has been delivered, the Members shall have the rights and obligations set forth below in this Section 8.5 regardless of whether the Defaulting Member subsequently cures the relevant Event of Default.

(b)After the delivery of a Valuation Notice, the Members shall follow the FMV Determination Procedure.

(c)Subject to Section 17.1(c)(i), the Non-Defaulting Member shall have the irrevocable option to (i) require the Defaulting Member to purchase all of the Interests of the Non-Defaulting Member, at a [REDACTED] premium over the Fair Market Value of such Interests (the “Event of Default Put Right”), or (ii) (either through itself or by way of an Affiliate) purchase from the Defaulting Member all of the Interests of the Defaulting Member, subject to Section 17.1(c)(i), at a [REDACTED] discount off of the Fair Market Value of such Interests (the “Event of Default Call Right”), each such option being exercisable by the Non-Defaulting Member giving the Defaulting Member written notice of such exercise (an “Event of Default Put Exercise Notice” or a “Event of Default Call Exercise Notice”, as applicable) within 30 days after a final determination of the Fair Market Value of such Interests pursuant to the FMV Determination Procedure.

(d)If the Non-Defaulting Member shall timely deliver an Event of Default Put Exercise Notice, the closing of the purchase and sale of the Interest of the Non-Defaulting Member pursuant to the Event of Default Put Right (an “Event of Default Put Right Closing”) shall occur at the offices of the Non-Defaulting Member on the tenth Business Day after the latest to occur of (i) the 90th day after the delivery of such Event of Default Put Exercise Notice, and (ii) the date on which all third party consents required to consummate the transaction, if any, have been obtained, or at such other place, date and time mutually agreed upon by the Members. At such closing, each Member constituting the Non-Defaulting Member shall execute and deliver the Required Transfer Documentation against receipt of the purchase price to be paid in accordance with

Section 8.5(g) below, in an amount equal to (A) if such Member is the sole Member constituting the Non-Defaulting Member, the Fair Market Value of the Interests of the Non-Defaulting Member so acquired (as previously determined pursuant to the FMV Determination Procedure) plus [REDACTED] or (B) if such Member is one of multiple Members constituting the Non-Defaulting Member, such Member’s proportionate share (based on the relative percentage shares of all of the Members constituting the Non-Defaulting Member) of the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Interests of the Non-Defaulting Member so acquired (as previously determined pursuant to the FMV Determination Procedure) plus [REDACTED]

(e)If the Non-Defaulting Member shall timely deliver an Event of Default Call Exercise Notice, the closing of the purchase and sale of the Interest of the Defaulting Member pursuant to the Event of Default Call Right (an “Event of Default Call Right Closing”) shall occur at the offices of the Non-Defaulting Member on the tenth Business Day after the latest to occur of (i) the delivery of such Event of Default Call Exercise Notice, and (ii) the date on which all third party consents required to consummate the transaction, if any, have been obtained, or at such other place, date and time mutually agreed upon by the Members. At such closing, each Member constituting the Defaulting Member shall execute and deliver the Required Transfer Documentation against receipt of the purchase price to be paid in accordance with Section 8.5(g), in an amount equal to (A) if such Member is the sole Member constituting the Defaulting Member, the Fair Market Value of the Interests of the Defaulting Member so acquired (as previously determined pursuant to the FMV Determination Procedure) less [REDACTED] [REDACTED] (subject to Section 17.1(c)(i)) or (B) if such Member is one of multiple Members constituting the Defaulting Member, such Member’s proportionate share (based on the relative percentage shares of all of the Members constituting the Defaulting Member) of the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Interests of the Defaulting Member so acquired (as previously determined pursuant to the FMV Determination Procedure) less [REDACTED] (subject to Section 17.1(c)(i)).

(f)Each Member shall notify the other Member of the existence or occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to itself or any of its Affiliates who are Members.

(g)The purchase price payable at any Event of Default Call Right Closing shall be payable in full on the date of such Event of Default Call Right Closing. The purchase price payable at any Event of Default Put Right Closing will be payable at least [REDACTED] on the date of such Event of Default Put Right Closing, with the balance being paid pursuant to a promissory note (which shall accrue interest at the then-current Prime Rate) that is payable on the one (1) year anniversary of such Event of Default Put Right Closing.

Following delivery of a Valuation Notice indicating the need to determine the Fair Market Value in respect of specified Interests, such determination shall be made as follows (the “FMV Determination Procedure”):

(a)The Members will negotiate in good faith to determine the Fair Market Value of the applicable Interests (including by considering the average of each Member’s initial estimate of Fair Market Value), and will provide each other with reasonable access to appropriate employees and advisors and books and records as may be reasonably requested to assist in the determination of Fair Market Value. If the Members are unable to agree on Fair Market Value within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Valuation Notice, then the Members shall (i) designate a mutually acceptable investment bank or valuation firm of national standing and experience valuing assets in the same industry as the Company Projects to determine the Fair Market Value as provided herein (or, if such Members are unable to agree on such one firm, the firm will be designated by

the American Arbitration Association) (such firm, however selected, the “Appraiser”) and (ii) submit their respective initial estimates of Fair Market Value to the Appraiser.

(b)Within thirty (30) days after appointment, the Appraiser shall determine its own view as to the Fair Market Value and shall deliver such view to each Member. If the Appraiser’s view is in between the range of the higher value claimed by a Member and the lower value claimed by a Member, such view shall be deemed the Fair Market Value. If the Appraiser’s view is outside the range referred to in the preceding sentence, the value claimed by a Member that is closest to the Appraiser’s view shall be deemed the Fair Market Value.

(c)A determination of Fair Market Value made pursuant to Section 8.6(b) shall be final and binding on the Board and all Members and shall constitute Fair Market Value for the relevant purpose under this Agreement.

(d)The Company shall provide reasonable access for the Appraiser to members of management of the Company and to the books and records of the Company so as to allow the Appraiser to conduct a due diligence examination in scope and duration as are customary in valuations of this kind. Each of the Members and any Permitted Transferee agrees to cooperate with the Appraiser and to provide such information as may reasonably be requested. The fees and expenses of the Appraiser shall be borne by the Members equally in proportion to their Interests unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

(a)Following a direct Transfer by a Member of all or part of its Interests permitted or required by this Section 8 (a “Permitted Direct Transfer”), (i) the transferee of such direct Transfer shall constitute a Member from and after the effective date of the Transfer and (ii) without limitation of clause (i), any allocations or distributions previously made to, and any Capital Contributions previously made by, the Member Transferring such Interests with respect to the Interests subject to such Transfer shall be deemed to have been made to or by the transferee (and not to have been made by the transferor) for purposes of this Agreement, and such transferee shall be entitled to receive distributions of cash or other property, and allocations of Net Income, Net Loss and of items of income, deduction, gain, loss, or credit, from the Company attributable to the Interests subject to such Transfer and shall succeed to all economic and other rights and obligations of the Member Transferring such Interests attributable to the Interests subject to such Transfer from and after the effective date of the Transfer, provided for the avoidance of doubt, that, in the case of any Permitted Direct Transfer of only part of a Member’s Interests, this clause (ii) shall be applied in proportion to the fraction of the Pro Rata Capital Share of such transferring Member being transferred.

(b)Upon consummation of a Permitted Direct Transfer of all of the Interests of a Member (other than a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with Section 8.1(b)), the transferring Member shall cease to be a Member or to have any right, title or interest in or to the Company, and this Agreement (other than Sections 12, 15.2 and, to the extent applicable, Sections 18 through 22, which (as in effect on the date of consummation of such Transfer) shall continue to be binding upon such transferring Member) shall terminate with respect to such transferring Member (and all Indemnified Persons in relation to such transferring Member). However, no such Transfer (and no resulting cessation of such transferring Member’s status as a Member or termination of this Agreement with respect to such transferring Member) shall relieve the transferring Member of any of the liabilities and/or obligations of the transferring Member under this Agreement to the extent required under the terms of this Agreement to have been paid and/or performed prior to the consummation of such Transfer (or of any liability the transferring

Member may have arising out of any breach, misrepresentation, violation or default by such transferring Member prior to such consummation).

(c)Promptly upon the consummation of a Permitted Direct Transfer by any Member, Exhibit 1 hereto shall be automatically amended to reflect such Transfer.

Each Capital Member represents and warrants to the other Capital Member as at the date of this Agreement that each of the following statements is correct in respect of itself:

(h)to the knowledge of such Capital Member, no third party has any right, title or interest in, to or under such Capital Member’s Background Proprietary Information or Solely-Owned Proprietary Information (whether contingent or non-contingent) that would limit the rights granted to the other Capital Member under this Agreement.

(i)its entry into this Agreement and performance of its obligations under this Agreement will not violate or conflict with, or exceed any limit imposed by:

(i)any law or regulation to which it is subject;

(ii)its memorandum and articles of association, partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement, or other applicable constitutional documents; or
