The Book Values of all Company assets shall be adjusted to equal their respective fair market values, as determined by the Board of Managers, and the amount of such adjustment shall be treated as Net Income or Net Loss and allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Members pursuant to Paragraph 6.3 below, as of the following times: (A) the date the Company is liquidated within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g); and (B) the termination of the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

(iv)

The Book Values of the Company's assets shall be increased or decreased to the extent required under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) in the event that the adjusted tax basis of the Company's assets is adjusted pursuant to Code Section 732, 734 or 743.

(b)

Capital Account. An account maintained by the Company with respect to each Member in accordance with the following provisions:

The Capital Account of each Member shall be increased by:

(i)

the amount of money and the fair market value of any property contributed to the Company by such Member (in the case of a contribution of property, net of any liabilities secured by such property that the Company is considered to assume or hold subject to for purposes of Section 752 of the Code),

(ii)

such Member's share of Net Income (or items thereof) pursuant to this Agreement, and

(iii)

any other amounts required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b), provided the Board of Managers determines that such increase is consistent with the economic arrangement among the Members as expressed in this Agreement;

and shall be decreased by:

(i)

the amount of money and the fair market value of any property distributed by the Company (determined as of the date of distribution) to such Member pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement (net of any liabilities secured by such property that such Member is considered to assume or hold subject to for purposes of Section 752 of the Code),

(ii)

such Member's share of Net Loss (or items thereof) pursuant to this Agreement, and

(d)

Interim Period. If any interest in the Company is transferred, the Percentage Interest of any Member changes, a Member withdraws, a new Member is admitted to the Company other than on the first day of any fiscal quarter or if the Board of Managers shall so elect, the date of such event or election shall commence an Interim Period.

The net book income or loss of the Company shall be computed, inter alia, by:

(i)

including as income or deductions, as appropriate, any tax-exempt income and related expenses that are neither properly included in the computation of taxable income nor capitalized for federal income tax purposes;

(ii)

including as a deduction when paid or incurred (depending on the Company's method of accounting) any amounts utilized to organize the Company or to promote the sale of (or to sell) an interest in the Company, except that amounts for which an election is properly made by the Company under Section 709(b) of the Code shall be accounted for as provided therein;

(iii)

including as a deduction any losses incurred by the Company in connection with the sale or exchange of property notwithstanding that such losses may be disallowed to the Company for federal income tax purposes under the related party rules of Code Section 267(a)(1) or 707(b); and

(iv)

calculating the gain or loss on disposition of Company assets and the depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deductions, if any, with respect to the Company's assets by reference to their Book Value rather than their adjusted tax basis.

All Member Interests shall be treated as fully vested for all purposes until, if ever, forfeited. A Member who forfeits the Unvested Percentage will have no obligation to return previously received distributions with respect to such forfeited Unvested Percentage.

6.3. Allocation of Net Income or Loss.

(a)

Net Income. All Net Income, if any, of the Company for each Fiscal Year or Interim Period shall be allocated as follows:

(i)

Net Income shall be allocated to the Members to the extent and in reverse priority that items of Loss of the Company have been

allocated to such Members pursuant to Paragraph 6.3(b) and items of Net Income have not been previously allocated to offset such items of Loss pursuant to this Paragraph 6.3(a)(1).

(ii)

Profit and credit shall then be allocated to each Member in accordance with each Member's Percentage Interest.

(b)

Net Loss. All Net Loss, if any, of the Company for each Fiscal Year or Interim Period shall be allocated as follows:

(i)

Any Net Loss shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with each Member's Percentage Interest; provided, however, that any Net Loss that would cause an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be reallocated to the other Members in proportion to their respective positive Capital Account balances (excluding the Members that would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit) and if no Members have a positive Capital Account balance, any remaining Net Loss shall be allocated to the Members on a pro rata basis based on the liabilities allocated to such Members in accordance with Section 752 and the regulations thereunder.

(c)

Additional Provisions. Notwithstanding the above, the Board of Managers may make any other special allocation in order to more fairly reflect the intended substantial economic effect of such items and each Member's economic interest therein (such as in the case of any receipt of life insurance proceeds and use of such proceeds to redeem the interest of a deceased Member).

ARTICLE VII
EXPENSES

The Company shall pay all costs and expenses that it incurs in connection with its activities. Each of the Members shall be reimbursed by the Company for reasonable and Board of Managers approved expenses incurred by such Member relating to the Company's business; a Member shall not be entitled to reimbursement simply because an expense is related to the Company's business and is a deductible "business expense" as defined in the Code.

ARTICLE VIII
DISTRIBUTIONS

8.1. Interest. No interest shall be paid to any Member on account of his interest in the capital of, or on account of his investment in, the Company.

8.2. Tax Distributions. The Company shall distribute to the Members cash sufficient to pay each Member's federal, state and local tax liability in respect of the allocation to such Member of Net Income for that Fiscal Year in excess of Net Losses and items of loss and deduction previously allocated to such Member (to the extent such Losses and items of loss and deduction have not offset a previous year's allocation of Net Income) pursuant to this Agreement

(computed taking into account the effect of allocations under Paragraphs 6.3(a) and 6.3(b)), determined using the highest marginal federal and state tax rates of any of the Members (such distributions being referred to herein as "Tax Distributions"); subject, in all events, to the Company having cash available for distribution, taking into account reasonable reserves, and subject to any restrictions in any loan agreements, credit agreements, or other financing documents of the Company or any subsidiary. Partial Tax Distributions made to the Members under this Paragraph 8.2 will be made in proportion to their respective amounts calculated under the preceding sentence. Subject to the foregoing, the Board of Managers will use reasonable efforts to cause the Company to make Tax Distributions on an estimated basis with respect to each of the four calendar quarters of each calendar year within fifteen (15) days of the end of such calendar quarter, and a final Tax Distribution on or before the April 15 next following the close of each calendar year.

8.3. Additional Distributions. The Board of Managers may, from time to time, make additional distributions of cash or Securities held by the Company among the Members in proportion to the positive balances of the each Member's Capital Account provided that:

(a)

Immediately prior to any distribution in kind of Securities (or other assets) pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the difference between the fair market value and the Book Value of any Securities (or other assets) distributed shall be allocated to the Capital Accounts of the Members as Net Income or Net Loss pursuant to Article VI.

(b)

Securities distributed in kind pursuant to this Paragraph 8.3 shall be subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Board of Managers determines are legally required.

(c)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any distributions of cash and Securities that would otherwise be made to a Member may, in the discretion of the Board of Managers, be retained by the Company and applied to reduce the balance of any obligation owed by the Member to the Company.

8.4. Limitations on Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (a) the Company will not make a distribution to any Member in respect of such Member's ownership of a Member Interest if such distribution would violate the Delaware Act or other applicable law, and (b) the Company will not make any distribution to the extent prohibited by any loan agreement or any other financing agreement with any lender to the Company.

8.5. Withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that the Company is required pursuant to applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, either (a) to pay tax (including estimated tax) on a Member's allocable share of Company Net Income or items of income or gain, whether or not distributed, or (b) to withhold and pay over to any tax authority any portion of a distribution otherwise distributable to a Member, the Company may pay over such tax or such withheld amount to the relevant tax authority, and such amount will be treated for all purposes hereof as a distribution to such Member at the time it is paid to the tax authority and will reduce the amount of the next distribution(s) to which the Member would otherwise be entitled.

8.6. Guaranteed Payments to Members. For as long as and to the extent a Member provides services to the Company and receives payments in exchange for such services, such payments for services made without regard to the gross income or Net Income of the Company will be characterized for income tax purposes as "guaranteed payments" governed by Code Section 707(c).

9.3. Substitute Members. No transferee of a Member Interest may be admitted to the Company as a substitute Member without the consent of the Board of Managers, which consent shall be subject to the sole discretion of the Board of Managers and shall not be subject to challenge by any transferor or transferee.

The exculpation under this Paragraph 12.11 shall not extend to any action that constitutes fraud or gross negligence. The Board of Managers and officers may consult with counsel and accountants in respect of Company affairs and be fully protected and justified in any action or inaction that is taken in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel or accountants, provided that they shall have been selected with reasonable care. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this Paragraph 12.11 and of Paragraph 12.12 hereof shall not be construed so as to relieve (or attempt to relieve) any person of any liability by reason of recklessness or intentional wrongdoing or to the extent (but only to the extent) that such liability may not be waived, modified or limited

under applicable law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate the provisions of this Paragraph 12.11 and of Paragraph 12.12 to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12.12. Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify, out of the assets of the Company only, any Member and his agents, to the fullest extent permitted by law and to save and hold them harmless from and in respect of all (a) reasonable fees, costs, and expenses paid in connection with or resulting from any claim, action or demand against the Member, the Company or their agents that arise out of or in any way relate to the Company, its properties, business or affairs and (b) such claims, actions and demands and any losses or damages resulting from such claims, actions and demands, including amounts paid in settlement or compromise (if recommended by attorneys for the Company) of any such claim, action or demand; provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply to any conduct adjudged to constitute fraud or gross negligence. Any person receiving an advance with respect to expenses shall be required to agree to return such advance to the Company in the event it is subsequently determined that such person was not entitled to indemnification hereunder. Any indemnified party shall promptly seek recovery under any other indemnity or any insurance policies by which such indemnified party may be indemnified or covered or from any portfolio company in which the Company has an investment, as the case may be. No payment or advance may be made under this Paragraph 12.12 to any person who may have a right to any other indemnity (by insurance or otherwise) unless such person shall have agreed, to the extent of any other recovery, to return such payments or advances to the Company.

(a)

For periods beginning prior December 31, 2017, Xxxxxx shall be the Company's Tax Matters Partner under the Code ("TMP").

(b)

For periods after December 31, 2017, Xxxxxx shall be the "partnership representative" within the meaning of as provided in Section 6223 of the Code (and any similar provisions under any applicable state or local or foreign tax laws) (the "Partnership Representative"). In the event any adjustment to any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Company, or any Member's distributive share thereof, for a "reviewed year" (as defined in Code Section 6226(d)(1)) that would result in an imputed underpayment of the Company under Code Section 6225, each of the Company and each Member of the Company for the reviewed year agrees to timely take all actions under Code Section 6225(c) (and any Treasury Regulations or other IRS guidance issued thereunder) necessary (including filing amended tax returns) to eliminate such imputed underpayment. To the extent that the Company is required to pay any tax as a result of an imputed underpayment, the Partnership Representative in

its sole discretion shall allocate such tax in an equitable manner among the Members (including a former Member) who were Members in the reviewed year. At the election of the Board of Managers in its sole discretion, any such tax allocated to a Member (or former Member) shall be treated as (i) a distribution to such Member at the time it is paid to the tax authority and will reduce the amount of the next distribution(s) to which the Member would otherwise be entitled, or (ii) a loan to the Member (or former Member), which loan shall be repaid by the Member (or former Member) within thirty (30) days of the time it is paid to the tax authority; provided that if such loan is not repaid within such thirty (30) days, such loan shall accrue interest at the LIBOR plus 5% retroactive to the date the liability is paid to the tax authority.

(c)

The TMP/Partnership Representative shall employ experienced tax counsel to represent the Company in connection with any audit or investigation of the Company by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and in connection with all subsequent administrative and judicial proceedings arising out of such audit. The fees and expenses of such, and all expenses incurred by the TMP/Partnership Representative in serving as the TMP/Partnership Representative, shall be Company expenses and shall be paid by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be the responsibility of the Members, at their expense, to employ tax counsel to represent their respective separate interests. If the TMP/Partnership Representative is required by law or regulation to incur fees and expenses in connection with tax matters not affecting each of the Members, then the TMP/Partnership Representative may, in his sole discretion, seek reimbursement from or charge such fees and expenses to the Members on whose behalf such fees and expenses were incurred. The TMP/Partnership Representative shall keep the Members informed of all administrative and judicial proceedings and shall furnish a copy of each notice or other communication received by the TMP/Partnership Representative from the IRS to each Member, except such notices or communications as are sent directly to such Member by the IRS.

(d)

The TMP/Partnership Representative shall have the right to resign by giving thirty (30) days' written notice to the Members. Upon the resignation, dissolution or Bankruptcy of the TMP/Partnership Representative, a successor TMP/Partnership Representative shall be elected by the Majority in Interest.

(e)

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company agrees to indemnify the TMP/Partnership Representative and his agents and save and hold them harmless from and in respect to all (i) reasonable fees, costs and expenses in connection with or resulting from any claim, action or demand against the TMP/Partnership Representative or the Company that arise out of or in any way relate to the TMP/Partnership Representative's status as

TMP/Partnership Representative for the Company, and (ii) all such claims, actions and demands and any losses or damages therefrom, including amounts paid in settlement or compromise of any such claim, action or demand; provided that this indemnity shall not extend to conduct by the TMP/Partnership Representative adjudged (i) not to have been undertaken in good faith to promote the best interests of the Company or (ii) to have constituted recklessness or intentional wrongdoing by the TMP/Partnership Representative.

ARTICLE XIII
MISCELLANEOUS TAX COMPLIANCE PROVISIONS

13.1. Substantial Economic Effect. The provisions of Article VI and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts and procedures upon liquidation of the Company are intended to comply generally with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations; and, to the extent the subject matter thereof is otherwise not addressed by this Agreement, the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1 are hereby incorporated by reference unless the Board of Managers shall determine that such incorporation will result in economic consequences inconsistent with the economic arrangement among the Members as expressed in this Agreement.

13.2. Income Tax Allocations.

(a)

Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph or as otherwise required by the Code and the rules and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, Company income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit for income tax purposes shall be allocated in the same manner the corresponding book items are allocated pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)

In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any asset contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated between the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Book Value.

(c)

In the event the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

13.3. Recharacterizations of Certain Transactions. Any income, gain, loss or deduction realized as a direct or indirect result of the issuance of an interest in the Company to a Member or the recharacterization of a distribution as a payment for tax purposes shall be

allocated among the Members so that (after effecting appropriate adjustments to the Capital Accounts of the Members to reflect the tax treatment of the issuance or the recharacterization) the aggregate amount (including any distributions recharacterized as payments for tax purposes and any amounts received upon liquidation of the Company) that each Member is entitled to receive from the Company over the life thereof (and each accounting period thereof) is equal to the aggregate amount that each such Member would have been entitled to receive had the issuance resulted in no income, gain, loss or deduction to either the Company or any of its Members (including the recipient of the Company interest) or had the recharacterization not occurred, as the case may be. In addition, to the extent possible without contravening the preceding sentence, any such recharacterization items shall be allocated in a manner that puts each Member, as soon as possible, in the same after-tax position as the Member would have been in had the issuance resulted in no income, gain, loss or deduction to either the Company or any of its Members (including the recipient of the Company interest) or had the recharacterization not occurred, as the case may be.

13.4. Sharing Arrangement; Interest in Company Items. The Members agree that the allocation and distribution provisions contained in this Agreement represent the sharing arrangement as between the Members and represent their interests in such allocated items and, therefore, in the event that any transaction or relationship between the parties to this Agreement is recharacterized, allocations and adjustments hereunder shall be made in a manner which maintains the Capital Account balances of the Members and the rights of the Members to receive distributions at the same levels they would have been had no such recharacterization occurred.

BOARD OF MANAGERS

1. Number; Appointment. The authorized number of members of the Board of Managers (each, a "Board Member") will be four Board Members, and will consist of the following:

a. so long as Xxxxxx is a Member, two members elected by Xxxxxx (the "Xxxxxx Board Members"), who will initially be R. Xxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx;

b. so long as GSV's Percentage Interest is at least 5.0%, one member elected by the GSV Asset Management, LLC (the "GSV Board Member"), who will initially be Xxxxxxx X. Xxx; and

c. so long as Oaktree continues to (i) be committed to fund the BDC and/or (ii) hold shares of common stock of the BDC at least equal to, in the aggregate, $41.66 million, at least one member elected by Oaktree, who will initially be Xxxxx Xxxxxx (the "Oaktree Board Member").

The number of Board Members after the date hereof will be determined from time to time by the Board of Managers. If the Board of Managers consists of an even number of Board Members, tie votes will be decided by the Chairman. The initial Chairman of the Board of Managers will be R. Xxxxx Xxxxxx.

2. Tenure. Except as otherwise provided by law or by this Agreement, each Board Member will hold office until he or she sooner dies or resigns, or is removed by the holders of the Majority in Interest; provided, however, so long as Oaktree and GSV each have the right to elect a member of the Board of Managers, the GSV Board Member and the Oaktree Board Member may only be replaced by GSV or Oaktree, respectively, with such individual being subject to the approval of the Chairman, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

3. Vacancies. Any vacancy on the Board of Managers shall be filled only by the Member entitled to appoint such Board Member in accordance with Section 1, if applicable. If vacant position is not subject to appointment pursuant to Section 1, such vacancy shall be filled by holders of a Majority in Interest. The Board of Managers will have and may exercise all their powers notwithstanding the existence of one or more vacancies in their number, subject to any requirements of law or of this Agreement as to the number of Board Members required for a quorum or for any vote or other actions.

4. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Managers will be held with reasonable notice on a quarterly basis within or without the State of Delaware and at such other times as the Board of Managers may from time to time determine.

Neither notice of a meeting nor a waiver of a notice need specify the purposes of the meeting.

7. Quorum. No action may be taken at a meeting of the Board of Managers or at a meeting of a committee of the Board of Managers unless a quorum is present. Except as may be otherwise required by law, at any meeting of the Board of Managers or a committee thereof a majority of the voting power of the Board of Managers (or with respect to a committee of the Board of Managers, a majority of the voting power of such committee) will constitute a quorum; provided, however, that the Chairman must be present at the meeting for a quorum to be present. Any meeting may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the votes cast upon the question, whether or not a quorum is present, and the meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.

8. Action by Vote. On all matters considered by the Board of Managers, each Board Member will be entitled to one vote. Except as may be otherwise required by law or this Agreement, when a quorum is present at any meeting the vote of a majority of the Board Members will be the act of the Board of Managers.

the making, execution, or delivery on behalf of the Company of any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any confession of judgment,

Any Member who has appointed a Board Member may appoint a designee to participate on behalf of the Board Member appointed by such party at any meeting and such designee shall count for purposes of determining a quorum and shall have all rights of the Board Member at such meeting, including, but not limited to, voting on behalf of such Board Member.

10. Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Managers may be taken without a meeting if reasonable prior written notice (which may include notice by electronic mail) thereof is given (and in no event less than seventy-two (72) hours prior written notice is given absent exigent circumstances) to each of the Board Members, and at least the number of Board Members who would be required to approve or authorize such action at a meeting at which all Board Members entitled to vote thereon were present and voted consent thereto in writing or by electronic communication and such writing or writings are filed with the records of the meetings of the Board of Managers. Such consent will be treated for all purposes as the act of the Board of Managers.

11. Participation in Meetings by Conference Telephone. Board Members may participate in a meeting of the Board of Managers by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other or by any other means permitted by law. Such participation will constitute presence in person at such meeting.

B-3

12. Compensation. Each Board Member will be reimbursed for such Board Member's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of such Board Member's duties as a Board Member and shall receive such compensation for service on the Board of Managers as may be approved by a majority of the disinterested Members of the Board of Managers. Nothing contained in this Section will be construed to preclude any Board Member from serving the Company in any other capacity and receiving reasonable compensation therefor.

13. Committees. The Board of Managers may, by vote of a majority of the Board of Managers, (a) designate, change the membership of or terminate the existence of any committee or committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the Board Members and any other individual as designated by the Board of Managers, (b) designate one or more Board Members or other individuals as alternate members of any such committee who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee and (c) determine the extent to which each such committee will have and may exercise the powers of the Board of Managers in the management of the business and affairs of the Company, excepting, however, such powers that by law or by this Agreement they are prohibited from so delegating; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing Xxxxxx shall be entitled to participate in any committee established by the Board of Managers. In the absence or disqualification of any member of such committee and his or her alternate, if any, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not constituting a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Managers to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Except as the Board of Managers may otherwise determine, any committee may make rules for the conduct of its business, but unless otherwise provided by the Board of Managers or such rules, its business will be conducted as nearly as may be in the same manner as is provided by this Agreement for the conduct of business by the Board of Managers. Each committee will keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board of Managers upon request.

a. Investment Committee(s). The Board of Managers shall at all times have an Investment Committee for each Fund that will review and approve or reject all potential investment opportunities of such Fund.

DRAG ALONG, TAG ALONG AND PURCHASE OPTION

ARTICLE I
DRAG ALONG RIGHTS

1.1. Drag-Along Rights. In the event a bona fide sale of all Member Interests, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, to a third party that is not the Company (a "Third Party Sale") is approved by the holders of at least 76% of the Percentage Interests, each and every one of the Members agrees to sell in such Third Party Sale all Member Interests held by such Members for the same form and amount of consideration per class or series of Member Interest and otherwise on the same terms and conditions upon which all other Members sell or are deemed to sell their Member Interests.

(a)

Each Member hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all rights to object to or dissent from such Third Party Sale (including without limitation any dissenter's rights, appraisal rights or similar rights under Section 18-210 of the Delaware Act) and hereby agrees to consent to and raise no objections against such Third Party Sale. The Company and the Members hereby agree to cooperate fully in any Third Party Sale and not to take any action prejudicial to or inconsistent with such Third Party Sale.

(b)

The Company shall provide a written notice (the "Drag-Along Notice") of the Third Party Sale to all Members. The Drag-Along Notice must set forth the consideration for each class or series of Member Interest to be paid in such Third Party Sale and the other terms and conditions of the Third Party Sale and include copies of the documents to be executed by the Members (collectively, "Ancillary Documents"), which may include, but not be limited to, transfer agreements, sale agreements, escrow agreements, consents, assignments, releases and waivers, non-solicitation agreements and confidentiality agreements. Not later than ten (10) days after receipt of the Drag-Along Notice, each of the Members shall deliver to the Company an unconditional agreement in writing to sell all of such Member's right, title and interest in such Member Interest pursuant to this Section 1.1 simultaneously with the consummation of such Third Party Sale against delivery to such Members of the consideration therefor and all Ancillary Documents required to be executed in connection with such Third Party Sale (the release of which may be conditioned upon consummation of the Third Party Sale). In the event that any Member receives a Drag-Along Notice pursuant to this Section 1.1, such Member agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts, in good faith and in a timely manner, to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable, under applicable laws and regulations (including, without limitation, to ensure that all appropriate legal and other requirements are met and all consents of third parties are obtained), to consummate the proposed transactions contemplated by this Section 1.1. If any vote is required by applicable

E-1

law, each Member agrees that, in addition to any of the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence, such Member shall vote all of its Member Interest in favor of the transaction (to the extent such Member has voting rights under this Agreement).

(c)

The amount of consideration payable for purposes of this Section 1.1 shall be the Drag-Along Liquidation Value with respect to a Member's Member Interest being sold in the Third Party Sale. The "Drag-Along Liquidation Value" for a Member shall be determined by taking the implied value of the Company's assets (as determined in the good faith, reasonable discretion of the Board of Managers, based on the value the acquirer is willing to pay in the Third Party Sale, such determination to be final and binding on the Members) and treating such amount as if it were distributed to the Members pursuant to Section 10.1(d) of the Agreement.

(d)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Member will not be required to comply with Section 1.1 in connection with any Third Party Third Party Sale unless: (i) any representations and warranties to be made by such Member in connection with the Third Party Sale are limited to representations and warranties related to authority, ownership and the ability to convey title to such Member's Interest; (ii) the Member shall not be liable for the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by any other Person in connection with the Third Party Sale, other than the Company (except to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breach by any Member of any of identical representations, warranties and covenants provided by all Members); (iii) the liability for indemnification, if any, of such Member in the Third Party Sale and for the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by the Company or its Members in connection with such Third Party Sale, is several and not joint with any other Person (except to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breach by any Member of any of identical representations, warranties and covenants provided by all Members), and is pro rata in proportion to, and does not exceed, the amount of consideration paid to such Member in connection with such Third Party Sale; and (iv) upon the consummation of the Third Party Sale, each holder of each class or series of the Company's Interests will receive the same form of consideration for their Interests as is received by other holders in respect of their same class or series of Interests.

(e)

Each Member hereby grants to the person then serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company a power-of-attorney to sign any and all agreements and instruments that are being executed in connection with a Third Party Sale pursuant to Section 1.1 and that are in accordance with

E-2

the provisions of such section on behalf of such Member in its capacity as a Member of the Company.

ARTICLE II

TAG ALONG RIGHTS

2.1. Tag Along Rights. In the event a sale of Member Interests authorized under Article IX by a Member or Members who hold no less than 51% of the Percentage Interests collectively (the "Selling Member") to a third party that is not the Company (the "Tag-along Purchaser") and the Selling Member cannot or has not elected to exercise its drag-along rights set forth in Article I above, each other Member (each, a "Tag-along Member") shall be permitted to participate in such sale (a "Tag-along Sale") on the terms and conditions set forth in this Article II.

(a)

Prior to the consummation of the sale described in Section 2.1, the Selling Member shall deliver to the Company and each other Member a written notice (a "Sale Notice") of the proposed Tag-along Sale no more than ten (10) days after the execution and delivery by all the parties thereto of the definitive agreement entered into with respect to the Tag-along Sale and, in any event, no later than twenty (20) days prior to the closing date of the Tag-along Sale. The Tag-along Notice shall make reference to the Tag-along Members' rights hereunder and shall describe in reasonable detail:

(1)

the Percentage Interest to be sold by the Selling Member;

(2)

the name of the Tag-along Purchaser;

(3)

the purchase price and the other material terms and conditions of the Tag-along Sale, including a description of any non-cash consideration in sufficient detail to permit the valuation thereof;

(4)

the proposed date, time and location of the closing of the Tag-along Sale; and

(5)

a copy of any form of agreement proposed to be executed in connection therewith.

(b)

Each Tag-along Member shall exercise its right to participate in a sale of its Member Interests by the Selling Member by delivering to the Selling Member a written notice (a "Tag-along Notice") stating its election to do so and specifying the amount of its Member Interests to be sold by it no later than ten (10) days after receipt of the Sale Notice (the "Tag-along Period"). The offer of each Tag-along Member set forth in a Tag-along Notice shall be irrevocable, and, to the extent such offer is accepted, such Tag-along Member shall be bound and obligated to sell in the proposed sale on the terms and conditions set forth in this Article II. Each Tag-along Member shall have the right to sell in a Tag-along Sale a percentage of its

E-3

Percentage Interest equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the Percentage Interest held by the Tag-along Member by (y) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is equal to the percentage of the Selling Member's Percentage Interest that the Selling Member proposes to sell or transfer to the Tag-along Purchaser and (B) denominator of which is equal to the Percentage Interest then held by such Selling Member.

(c)

The Selling Member shall use its reasonable efforts to include in the proposed sale to the Tag-along Purchaser all of the Member Interests that the Tag-along Members have requested to have included pursuant to the applicable Tag-along Notices, it being understood that the Tag-along Purchaser shall not be required to purchase any Member Interest in excess of the amount set forth in the Sale Notice. In the event the Tag-along Purchaser elects to purchase less than all of the Member Interest sought to be sold by the Tag-along Members, the amount of Member Interest to be sold to the Tag-along Purchaser by the Selling Member and each Tag-along Member shall be reduced so that each such Member is entitled to sell its pro rata portion of the Member Interest the Tag-along Purchaser elects to purchase (which in no event may be less than the amount of Member Interest set forth in the Sale Notice).

(d)

Each Tag-along Member who does not deliver a Tag-along Notice in compliance with clause (b) above shall be deemed to have waived all of such Tag-along Member's rights to participate in such Tag-along Sale, and the Selling Member shall (subject to the rights of any participating Tag-along Member) thereafter be free to sell to the Tag-along Purchaser its Member Interest at a Tag-Along Price that is no greater than the Tag Along Price set forth in the Sale Notice and on other same terms and conditions which are not materially more favorable to the Selling Member than those set forth in the Sale Notice, without any further obligation to the non-accepting Tag-along Members. The "Tag-Along Price" means the price per 1% percent of the Selling Member's Percentage Interest proposed to be sold to the Tag-along Purchaser, calculated by dividing (A) the total sale price of the proposed sale by (B) the Percentage Interest to be acquired by the third party, each as set forth in the Sale Notice.

(e)

Each Member participating in a Tag-along Sale shall receive the same Tag-Along Price after deduction of such Member's proportionate share of the related expenses in accordance with paragraph (f) below.

(f)

Each Tag-along Member shall make or provide the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Selling Member makes or provides in connection with the Tag-along Sale (except that in the case of representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to the Selling Member, the Tag-along Member shall make the comparable representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to itself);

E-4

provided, that all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities shall be made by the Selling Member and each other Tag-along Member severally and not jointly and any indemnification obligation in respect of breaches of representations and warranties that do not relate to such Tag-along Member shall be in an amount not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received by such Tag-along Member in connection with any sale consummated pursuant to this Article II.

(g)

The fees and expenses of the Selling Member incurred in connection with a Tag-along Sale and for the benefit of all Tag-along Members (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of the Selling Member for its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Tag-along Members), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Tag-along Purchaser, shall be shared by all the Tag-along Members on a pro rata basis, based on the consideration received by each Tag-along Member; provided, that no Tag-along Member shall be obligated to make any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the transaction consummated pursuant to this Article II.

(h)

Each Tag-along Member shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Tag-along Sale, including, without limitation, entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments, in each case, consistent with the agreements being entered into and the certificates being delivered by the Selling Member.

(i)

The Selling Member shall have ninety (90) days following the expiration of the Tag-along Period in which to sell the Member Interest described in the Sale Notice, on terms not more favorable to the Selling Member than those set forth in the Sale Notice (which such ninety (90) day period may be extended for a reasonable time not to exceed one hundred and twenty (120) days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any required regulatory approvals). If at the end of such period the Selling Member has not completed the Tag-along Sale, the Selling Member may not then effect a sale of its Member Interest subject to this Article II without again fully complying with the provisions of this Article II.

(j)

If the Selling Member sells or otherwise transfers to the Tag-along Purchaser any of its Member Interest in breach of this Article II, then each Tag-along Member shall have the right to sell to the Selling Member, and the Selling Member undertakes to purchase from each Tag-along Member, the amount of Member Interest that such Tag-along Member would have had the right to sell to the Tag-along Purchaser pursuant to this Article II, for a Tag-Along Price in the amount and form of consideration and upon the term and conditions on which the Tag-along Purchaser bought such Member Interest from the Selling Member, but without indemnity being granted by any Tag-along Member to the Selling Member; provided, that nothing contained in this Article II shall preclude any Member from

seeking alternative remedies against such Selling Member as a result of its breach of this Article II.

ARTICLE III

MEMBER INTEREST PURCHASE OPTION

3.1. Option to Purchase Member Interests. With respect to a Member, upon the occurrence of the Member's Bankruptcy, death, disability, dissolution or Termination of Service, or the Member's attempted transfer of a Member Interest or portion thereof in violation of Article IX of the Agreement, the Company shall have the option to purchase the Vested Percentage of the Member's Member Interest pursuant to this Article III and any Unvested Percentage of a Member's Member Interest will be automatically forfeited. A Member whose Member Interest is subject to the option provided in this Section 3.1 is referred to as a "Leaving Member." Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Initial Members only, only Termination of Service for Cause by the Company or voluntary Termination of Service by the Initial Member will result in forfeiture of the Unvested Percentage of the Initial Member's Member Interest. In all other cases, for purposes of this Article III, the Vested Percentage of the Member Interest of a Leaving Member who is an Initial Member will be deemed to be the Leaving Member's Percentage Interest.

3.2. Notification of Exercise of Purchase Option. In connection with any exercise of the option pursuant to this Article III, the Company shall, within thirty (30) business days after the date on which Company first learns of the event triggering the right to exercise the option under Section 3.1, give the Leaving Member written notice (the "Option Exercise Notice") if it will purchase such Leaving Member's Member Interest.

3.3. Purchase Price; Challenge to Purchase Price.

(a)

A Leaving Member's entire Member Interest, if purchased, will be purchased at a price equal to the positive amount (if any) determined as follows (the "Purchase Price"):

(1)

an amount equal to the product of (x) the amount that would be distributed to the Leaving Member in the event that the Company sold all of its assets for the then current fair market value and was liquidated multiplied by (y) of the Leaving Member's Vested Percentage;

(2)

reduced, by an amount determined by the Board of Managers, in good faith (and without limiting any other right or remedy of the Company under this Agreement, at law or in equity), to be the damages to the Company resulting from the Leaving Member's actions constituting "Cause," as determined by the Board of

E-6

Managers (in each case excluding the Leaving Member), whether at the time of the Leaving Member's termination or thereafter, or the Leaving Member's resignation to compete with the Company directly or through other business ventures, as determined by the Board of Managers (in each case excluding the Leaving Member), which reduction may be effected at any time, including retroactively in the case of any such determination being made after a Leaving Member's termination; and

(3)

further reduced by any indebtedness of the Leaving Member to the Company.

(b)

The fair market value of all of the Company's asset's shall be determined by a single, independent appraiser experienced in valuing businesses such as the Company selected by the Board of Managers. The valuation shall be based upon the price which a willing buyer, being under no compulsion to buy, would pay for the assets of the Company and which a willing seller, being under no compulsion to sell, would accept for such assets. The Company will pay the cost of such appraiser and will use reasonable efforts to obtain and provide a written appraisal report within thirty (30) days after selecting the appraiser.

(c)

The Leaving Member will have a period of ten (10) days after receipt of the initial appraisal under Section 3.3(b) to review the appraisal and to object to its use in calculating the Purchase Price of the Leaving Member's Member Interest. If the Leaving Member fails to notify the Company of any objection, then the appraisal value will be used in the calculation under Section 3.3(a). If the Leaving Member provides timely notice of its objection, then the Leaving Member will have ten (10) days from the notice to select a second, single, independent appraiser experienced in valuing businesses such as the Company to establish an alternative substitute valuation for the Company in accordance with the standard set forth above. The Leaving Member will pay the cost of such second appraiser and will use reasonable efforts to obtain and provide a written appraisal report within thirty (30) days after selecting the appraiser.

(d)

If the valuation determined by each of the appraisers is the same, such value will be used in the calculation under Section 3.3(a). If the values are not the same, then the average of the appraisals will be used in the calculation under Section 3.3(a), so long as the higher of the two appraisals is no more than 120% of the lower appraisal.

(e)

If the higher of the two appraisals is more than 120% of the lower appraisal, then the Board of Managers (excluding the Leaving Member) and the Leaving Member shall select a third appraiser who will use reasonable efforts to obtain and provide a third written appraisal within thirty (30) days after selection, and the value to be used in the calculation

E-7

under Section 3.3(a) will be equal to (A) the average of all three appraisals, so long as the highest of the three appraisals is no more than 120% of the lowest of the three appraisals; or (B) if the highest of the three appraisals is more than 120% of the lowest of the three appraisals, then the value with the greatest difference from the middle appraised value will be disregarded and the value used will be the average of the two remaining appraised valuations. The cost of such third appraiser will be born 50% by the Company and 50% by the Leaving Member.

(f)

Only good faith, bona fide appraisals, completed in writing and delivered to the Company and the Leaving Member will be considered valid for purposes of Section 3.3. The Company will allow its books, records, and operations to be available for review by all chosen appraisers for the purposes of valuing the Company. In all cases, appraisals will exclude the value of any life insurance proceeds paid or payable to the Company to fund purchases of a Leaving Member's Member Interest.

(g)

In addition to the rights set forth in Section 3.3, a Leaving Member whose Purchase Price was reduced by any amount under Section 3.3(a)(2) will have the right to challenge the reduction (and only the reduction) under such clause at any time within the thirty (30) days following notice of such reduction. Subject to such right, the Purchase Price resulting under Section 3.3, will be final, conclusive and binding, and the Leaving Member and the Company expressly waive the right to challenge the Purchase Price, as established hereunder, judicially or otherwise.

(h)

The reduction called for under Section 3.3(a)(2) is not an exclusive remedy, and shall not (and nothing else herein shall) preclude the Company or any Member from pursuing any other right or remedy available under this Agreement, at law or in equity upon the occurrence of any of the events specified therein.

(i)

The Leaving Member and the Company agree that the Purchase Price shall be treated as a Code Section 736(a) payment to the maximum extent permitted pursuant to the Code.

3.4. Payment. In the case of the death or disability of a Member for which the Company was the beneficiary of a life or disability insurance policy or policies, all of the net proceeds thereof not in excess of the Purchase Price shall be paid to the Member or his or her estate on the closing date provided for in Section 3.5. Any portion of the Purchase Price remaining owed in any such case, and in all other cases, the Purchase Price, shall be paid:

(a)

in full, on the closing date, unless;

(b)

the Board of Managers determines in good faith that the Company is unable to pay such amount out of available funds and that financing for such amount is not available on commercially reasonable terms then it

E-8

shall be paid twenty percent (20%) on the closing date, with the remainder of the unpaid balance paid in equal annual (or monthly or quarterly payments if otherwise agreed to) installments of principal and accrued interest on each anniversary date during the five (5) year period beginning on the closing date; provided, further, that if the Company is unable (either at the start of the payment period or based on obligations that arise after such date) to reasonably amortize the promissory note over the five (5) year period (expressly taking into account obligations to other former Members), the Member and the Company will agree upon a reasonable amortization period for the balance of the payment; and

(c)

provided, however, that all such amounts may be subject to subsequent reduction pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(2).

The unpaid portion of the Purchase Price shall bear simple interest from the closing date at the rate of 4% per annum. Any amount owing pursuant to this Article II may be prepaid without penalty.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that the maximum scheduled obligations of the Company for payments of principal and interest to Leaving Members in any particular Fiscal Year is determined by the Board of Managers, in good faith, to be reasonably likely to cause material harm or jeopardize the financial viability of the Company, then the Company may, in good faith and in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, elect to reduce such payments pro-rata in accordance with the amounts that would otherwise be due and payable during such year. Payments of any amounts subject to reduction under this provision will be made as soon as possible consistent with this Agreement and must again be made pro-rata. All such prior reductions for any given Fiscal Year of the Company must be paid in full before payment of any subsequent Fiscal Year's payment obligations under this Article III can be made. Unless some portion of the payments to a Leaving Member or his or her estate are more than two (2) years in arrears (including payments that would otherwise have been due and payable at the scheduled maturity of the obligation), delay in payments as a result of the operation of the terms of this provision will not, in and of itself, be deemed to be a default of any sort and will not, in and of itself, entitle the Leaving Member or his or her estate to exercise any rights or remedies as a result of such delayed payment.

3.5. Closing Date. The closing of the purchase of the Leaving Member's Member Interest shall occur on a date and time mutually convenient to the Company and the Leaving Member; provided, however, that:

(a)

for all purchases triggered by events other than the Leaving Member's death, the closing will be held not later than sixty (60) days after the Option Exercise Notice is given by the Company under Section 3.1; and,

(b)

for all purchases triggered by a Leaving Member's death, the closing will be held not later than (i) sixty (60) days after the Leaving Member's death; (ii) sixty (60) days after the qualification of the Leaving Member's personal representative; or (iii) if the Company is the beneficiary of an

E-9

insurance policy or policies on the Leaving Member's life, ten (10) days after the proceeds under all such policies are received by the Company.

(c)

All closings will be held at the principal offices of the Company, unless otherwise agreed. On the closing date, the Company and the Leaving Member or the Leaving Member's representative shall execute such documents and instruments of conveyance as may be necessary or appropriate to confirm the redemption of the Leaving Member's Member Interest, the cancellation of any other Member Interest of the Leaving Member, the withdrawal of the Leaving Member as a Member, and the assumption by the Company of all liabilities of the Leaving Member with respect to the Company (and, to the extent the Company is unable, using commercially reasonable efforts, to secure the release of a Leaving Member's personal guarantee with respect to any Company debt, the Company will agree to indemnify and hold the Leaving Member harmless with respect to such Company debt).

3.6. Assignment. The Company may assign its rights pursuant to this Article III to one or more other Persons without notice to or consent of the Leaving Member.
