Delaware Law and Certain Limited Liability Company Agreement Provisions
Organization and Duration
We were formed as a Delaware limited liability company on June 27, 2022 with the name “OHA Senior Private Lending Fund (U) LLC”. We will remain in existence until dissolved in accordance with the LLC Agreement or pursuant to Delaware law. At the direction of a majority vote of all outstanding Shares, the Board will use its commercially reasonable efforts to wind down, sell and/or liquidate and dissolve the Fund in an orderly manner.
Purpose
Under the LLC Agreement, we are permitted to engage in any business activity that lawfully may be conducted by a limited liability company organized under Delaware law and, in connection therewith, to exercise all of the rights and powers conferred upon it pursuant to the agreements relating to such business activity.
Agreement to be Bound by the LLC Agreement; Power of Attorney
By executing the Subscription Agreement (which signature page constitutes a counterpart signature page to the LLC Agreement), each investor accepted by the Fund is agreeing to be admitted as a member of the Fund and bound by the terms of the LLC Agreement. Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, each holder of a Share and each person who acquires Shares from another holder of a Share grants to certain of our officers (and, if appointed, a liquidator) a power of attorney to, among other things, execute and file documents required for our qualification, continuance or dissolution. The power of attorney also grants the Board the authority to make certain amendments to, and to make consents and waivers under and in accordance with, the LLC Agreement.
Resignation and Removal of Board Members; Procedures for Vacancies
Any Board member may resign at any time by submitting his or her written resignation to the Board or secretary of the Fund. Such resignation will take effect at the time of its receipt by the Fund unless another time be fixed in the resignation, in which case it will become effective at the time so fixed. The acceptance of a resignation is not required to make it effective. Any or all of the Board members may be removed by the affirmative vote of a majority of the full Board or by an affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding Shares.
Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, including the 1940 Act, any newly created directorship on the Board that results from an increase in the number of Board members, and any vacancy occurring in the Board that results from the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal of a Board member or other cause, will be filled by the appointment and affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining members of the Board in office, although less than a quorum (with a quorum being a majority of the total number of members of the Board), or by a sole remaining member of the Board. Any Board member elected to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship will
hold office for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his or her death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.
Action by Members
Under the LLC Agreement, Member action can be taken only at a meeting of Members or by written consent in lieu of a meeting by Members representing at least the number of Shares required to approve the matter in question.
Only our Board, the Chair of the Board or our Chief Executive Officer may call a meeting of Members. Only business specified in our notice of meeting (or supplement thereto) may be conducted at a meeting of Members.
Amendment of the LLC Agreement; No Approval by Holders of Shares
Except as otherwise provided in the LLC Agreement, the terms and provisions of the LLC Agreement may be amended with the consent of the Board (which term includes any waiver, modification, or deletion of the LLC Agreement) during or after the term of the Fund, together with the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Shares.
Certain limited amendments, as set forth in the LLC Agreement, may be made with the consent of the Board and without the need to seek the consent of the Members.
Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial
Pursuant to Section 13.6(e) of the LLC Agreement, Members irrevocably accept the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the specified federal and state courts in New York and waive the right to a jury trial for any claim or cause of action directly or indirectly based upon or arising out of the LLC Agreement.
