Upon a sale of Units to the Access Fund, the Access Fund will pass its voting rights in the Fund through to the Access Fund LPs pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision set forth herein, the Members shall constitute a single class or group of

Members for purposes of this Agreement, Section 18-302 of the Delaware Act and any other provision of the Delaware Act that requires or permits class or group voting. The Managing Members shall cause the Schedule to be amended from time to time to reflect the admission of any Member to the Fund, the removal or withdrawal of any Member for any reason or the receipt by the Fund of notice of any change of name of a Member. The Schedule shall be filed with the records of the Fund.

SECTION 3.2. Process for Required Approvals

Any Member approval that is regulated or required by the Investment Company Act will be required to be approved in accordance with the requirements of the Investment Company Act.

For such approvals, the Access Fund will be permitted to vote its Units in proportion to the voting instructions received from Access Fund LPs. Each Access Fund LP has the right to vote an amount equal to the number of Units to which its interest in the Access Fund corresponds. To the extent the Access Fund does not receive specific voting instructions from any Access Fund LP the vote in question, then the Access Fund will vote the corresponding pro rata share of Units of those Access Fund Investors in the same manner and proportion as the Units of those Access Fund Investors for which it has received specific instructions for the vote in question.

Any Member vote that is not required by the Investment Company Act (a “Non-Investment Company Act Vote”), including as specifically set forth in or as provided for in this Agreement, will require the approval of the independent directors of the Company and will be deemed approved by the Members unless a majority of the Access Fund LPs affirmatively vote to reject the item.

No Member (or former Member) shall have any liability for the debts or obligations of the Fund except as expressly provided in the Delaware Act.

SECTION 3.4. Most Favored Nation.

Further, the Access Fund shall be entitled to receive substantially the same benefits and rights granted with respect to the Fund to any other Member or (or any affiliate or associate thereof) in any such other agreement other than any affiliates, officers, partners or employees of the Investment Manager. The term “agreement” shall be deemed to include any Subscription Agreement that differs from the Subscription Agreement entered into between the Access Fund and the Fund.

(ii) A quorum of the Board shall consist of a majority of the exact number of directors fixed from time to time in accordance with 4.1(a)(i). At each meeting of the Board at which a quorum is present, all questions and business shall be determined by a vote of a majority of the directors present, unless a different vote is required by law or by this Agreement. Directors may participate in a meeting by means of conference telephone or other communication equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, unless as required otherwise by the Investment Company Act.

(iii) Each Director will hold office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. The names of each Director shall be listed on Schedule B, which shall be updated as necessary.

(iv) The majority of the Directors will at all times consist of the Independent Directors.

(v) A Director may resign from the Board at any time. If a Director is determined to have committed an act that constitutes Cause, such Director may be removed from his position by a vote of the Members who hold a majority of the outstanding Units entitled to vote. In addition, any Director may be removed from his position by a vote at a duly called meeting of the Board of at least 80% of the Directors then seated.

(vi) Any and all vacancies on the Board as a result of resignation or removal may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors in office, even if the remaining Directors do not constitute a quorum, and any Director elected to fill a vacancy will serve until a successor is duly elected and qualifies, subject to any applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act.

(vii) A majority of the Directors have the authority to form committees of the Board from time to time to the extent that it determines that it is appropriate to do so. The Board shall have an audit committee, which will be responsible for selecting, engaging and discharging the Fund’s independent accountants, reviewing the plans, scope and results of the audit engagement with the Fund’s independent accountants, approving professional services provided by the Fund’s independent accountants (including compensation therefor), reviewing the independence of the Fund’s independent accountants, reviewing the adequacy of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting, establishing guidelines and making recommendations to the Board regarding the valuation of the Fund’s loans and investments, and taking any other actions consistent with the audit committee charter or as may be authorized by the Board.

Pursuant to the Investment Company Act, the Board shall consider and determine whether the compensation of the Chief Compliance Officer is fair and reasonable. The names of each Officer and such Officer’s position shall be listed on Schedule B, which shall be updated as necessary.

(iii) The Officers shall perform such duties and may exercise such powers as may be assigned to them by the Board.

(iv) Unless the Board decides otherwise, if the title of any person authorized to act on behalf of the Fund under this 4.1(b) is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such person of the authority and duties that are normally associated with that office, subject to any specific delegation of, or restriction on, authority and duties made pursuant to this 4.1(b). Any number of titles may be held by the same person. Any delegation pursuant to this 4.1(b) may be revoked at any time by the Board.

(v) The Board may authorize any Person, including any Officer, to sign on behalf of the Fund. Unless authorized to do so by the Board, no Officer shall have any power or authority to bind the Fund in any way, to pledge its credit, or to render it liable for any purpose.

Such authorization shall not be deemed a restriction on the power of the Board to cause the Fund to enter into other documents.

(d) Management by the Managing Members. The Fund shall be managed by the Managing Members. No other Member shall participate, or have the right or power to participate, in the control of the business of the Fund, nor shall any other Member have any right or authority to act for or bind the Fund.

(e) Management Agreement. The Fund will enter into a management agreement with Solar Capital Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Investment Manager” or “SCP”), in the form of Exhibit A (the “Management Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Fund in the Private Placement Memorandum has delegated or will delegate to the Investment Manager full and exclusive discretion to invest, reinvest and dispose of the Fund’s assets, and (together with the Administrative Coordinator) to manage the day-to-day operations of the Fund and the Investment Manager has agreed or will agree to provide the Fund with certain investment advisory and related services.

The Investment Manager is authorized to delegate all, or any such part as it deems appropriate, of its discretionary management and investment advisory authority and responsibility to any Affiliates of the Investment Manager. The Investment Manager may take any and all actions that in its sole discretion are necessary or incidental to any such delegation and/or assignment as determined by the Investment Manager in its sole discretion (as applicable), including (w) the assignment of the Management Agreement to any such investment adviser, (x) causing the Fund to enter into a new investment management agreement with any such investment adviser that is substantially similar to the Management Agreement in all material respects (provided that any material amendment, supplement or other modification of any such investment management agreement shall be made by the Investment Manager with the approval of the Independent Directors and the required majority (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of holders of the Fund’s units), (y) delegating all or part of the Investment Manager’s duties under the Management Agreement to any such investment adviser and/or (z) causing such replacement investment adviser or an Affiliate thereof to execute and deliver to the Fund a guaranty of the obligations of the Investment Manager as contemplated by Section 6.2(c).

Notwithstanding the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Investment Manager shall be entitled to any accrued but unpaid amounts owed under the Management Agreement through the date of termination or expiration, regardless of the reason for termination.

SECTION 4.3. Investments.

(a) Investment Strategy. The Fund shall make, hold and dispose of such Portfolio Investments as the Investment Manager, pursuant to the Management Agreement determines to be suitable for the Fund (taking into account the purpose of the Fund and the investment strategy, objective, any guidelines described in the Private Placement Memorandum and SCP’s allocation policy). The Fund will use commercially reasonable efforts to not, and the Investment Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Fund will not, make any investments or conduct any activities outside of the United States.

(b) ERISA Matters. The Investment Manager shall use its best efforts to restrict admission of Members and transfer of the Units so that ERISA Members will beneficially hold less than 25% of the total value of each class of equity units of the Fund, determined in accordance with ERISA and the DOL Regulations.

(d) Competition Matters. If the Access Fund, or any alternative investment vehicle established by the general partner of the Access Fund or an affiliate of the Access Fund (“Access Alternative Vehicle”), individually or collectively, based on the ownership of the Access Fund and any Access Alternative Vehicles of equity interests in the Fund or any alternative investment vehicle, constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute the ultimate parent entity (the “Ultimate Parent Entity”) for purposes of the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx

Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, “HSR”), or the party otherwise obligated or required to submit a filing (including any Ultimate Parent Entity, a “Filing Party”) under any other antitrust or competition law outside the United States (“Foreign Competition Laws” and, collectively with the HSR or other antitrust or competition laws, “Competition Laws”), with respect to any proposed investment of the Fund or any alternative investment vehicle, then the Investment Manager:

(i) will provide to (or cause to be provided to) the Access Fund prompt written notice of the determination by the Fund, any alternative investment vehicle or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Fund or any alternative investment vehicle to pursue a transaction that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any filing obligation on the part of the Fund or Access Alternative Vehicle pursuant to any Competition Law (an “Access Investment”), together with the basis for the Investment Manager’s or Fund’s determination that the Access Fund or Access Alternative Vehicle may constitute the Filing Party under any Competition Law with respect to the proposed transaction;

(ii) will prepare and provide (or cause to be prepared and provided) to the Access Fund a draft of any such required filing containing all information required to be included in such filing that is within the knowledge of any of the Investment Manager or any alternative investment vehicle; and

(iii) for any proposed investment requiring a pre-merger notification under HSR or any other prior notice or approval under any other applicable Competition Law, will not consummate any such proposed investment until the applicable waiting periods have expired or been terminated or approvals have been obtained unless (A) so doing would not have any adverse effect on any of the Competition Indemnified Parties (as defined below), the Fund, any alternative investment vehicle or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Fund or any alternative investment vehicle and (B) the Investment Manager and the Fund promptly notify the Competition Indemnified Parties that the proposed investment will be consummated prior to the expiration of the applicable waiting periods or the obtainment of the necessary approvals.

(iv) Following receipt by the Access Fund of the notice described in Section 14(a) above, the Competition Indemnified Parties will reasonably cooperate with the Investment Manager to cause the applicable HSR filing and any other filing under any other Competition Law to be made; provided, however, that the Investment Manager acknowledges and agrees that, in consideration of the foregoing cooperation and filing, the Investment Manager and/or an alternative investment vehicle shall advance to the Access Fund and/or the Filing Party any and all HSR and other applicable filing fees for which the Access Fund or the Filing Party is responsible with respect to the proposed Access Investment (or pay any such filing fees directly to the applicable governing body on behalf of the Filing Party) and shall promptly, and in any event within fifteen (15) days of receipt of a written request accompanied by invoices or other supporting documentation, reimburse the Access Fund and the Filing Party for all other out

of pocket fees, legal and other expenses, and any other costs reasonably incurred by the Access Fund or the Filing Party in connection with completing and making any HSR or other Competition Law filing or otherwise complying with any Competition Law with respect to any proposed Access Investment (an “Access Competition Obligation”). Without limiting the foregoing, the Investment Manager acknowledges and agrees that the Access Fund and the Filing Party jointly will be permitted to retain and consult with their own legal counsel in order to assist them with Access Competition Obligations and Competition Law-related matters relating to an Access Investment and the reasonable fees and expenses of that legal counsel will constitute reimbursable costs of the Access Fund and the Filing Party.

(v) The Investment Manager, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless, and will cause any applicable alternative investment vehicle to similarly indemnify and hold harmless, the Access Fund, the Filing Party and their respective Affiliates (each, a “Competition Indemnified Party”) against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities whatsoever arising out of or based upon any:

(A) inaccurate or omitted information regarding the Access Investment or any of the Investment Manager or their Affiliates included in (or omitted from) any filings made by, or any information provided to government or regulatory authorities or representatives pursuant to any Competition Law on behalf of, any Competition Indemnified Party in respect of the Access Investment to the extent that the inclusion or omission of such information is based upon or in conformity with the draft filing, or other information provided by the Investment Manager or any an alternative investment vehicle in connection with such filing;

(B) failure on the part of the Investment Manager to provide the Access Fund with the prior notice and cooperation described above, including but not limited to preparing and providing the Access Fund a draft of any required filing, in connection with any investment made by the Fund or an alternative investment vehicle that gives rise to any Competition Law filing obligations on the part of the Access Fund or any Access Alternative Vehicle; or

(C) consummation of any transaction prior to the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period or the receipt of any applicable approvals under any Competition Law if so doing results in a fine, penalty or any other liability, obligation or requirement imposed on any Competition Indemnified Party.

SECTION 4.4. Certain Tax Matters.

(a) The Fund intends to make an election to cause it to be classified as an association that is taxable as a corporation. The Fund will make an election effective no later than the date of the Initial Closing to be treated as a RIC. The Fund intends to operate in a manner so that it satisfies the requirements of Section 851 and Section 852(a) of the Code for each taxable year beginning with the first taxable year for which it makes an election to be treated as a RIC in accordance with the preceding sentence. The Fund will direct the investment of the Capital Contributions and otherwise operate in a manner that complies with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a RIC.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Investment Manager may take such actions as it determines necessary or appropriate to comply with FATCA. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Member agrees to provide promptly any information, waivers, documentation and certifications (including information about such Member’s direct and indirect owners) that may be requested by the Fund or the Investment Manager in order for the Fund or any investment vehicle through which the Fund invests (and any member of any “expanded affiliated group” (as defined in Section 1471(e)(2) of the Code) of which such entities are members and any “related entity” pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement) to comply with FATCA. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Member shall indemnify the Fund for any taxes and expenses arising pursuant to FATCA as a result of the failure of such Member to provide sufficient information, documentation and representations to establish that the Member is exempt from FATCA and related taxes and that distributions from the Fund are not subject to FATCA-related taxes.

SECTION 4.5. Borrowings.

The Fund shall be permitted to borrow money, including through the use of a credit facility, and to issue guarantees in connection with Portfolio Investments and the other activities of the Fund to guarantee or otherwise become liable with respect to obligations of the Fund, any SPV or any Portfolio Investment, to secure any such borrowing or guarantee by a pledge of the assets of the Fund or the rights of the Fund or the Managing Members contained herein (including the Fund’s right, title and interest in the Remaining Capital Commitments and the obligation of the Members to make Capital Contributions, the right to issue a Funding Notice, the Fund’s account into which the payment by Members of their Capital Contributions are to be made and the right to exercise the remedies set forth in this Agreement or in law or equity upon a default by any Member in the payment of its Capital Contribution) and to enter into any instrument or arrangements in connection therewith, in each case as the Investment Manager determines to be desirable, taking into account the investment strategy, objective and any guidelines described in the Private Placement Memorandum. In connection with any such credit facility, each Member understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Members shall be absolutely and unconditionally obligated to fund Capital Contributions called, subject to the terms of this Agreement, by the Investment Manager or the applicable lender to repay such indebtedness without setoff, counterclaim or defense, including any defense of fraud or mistake or any defense under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, including Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; provided, that no ERISA Member will be required to fund a Capital Contribution called by a lender if the payment of such Capital Contribution would constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

The Fund confirms that, in connection with any borrowings incurred by or lines of credit entered into by the Fund, the Access Fund will not be required to provide any non-publicly available information (including financial information about the Access Fund and information about any of the Access Fund’s beneficial owners), any letter of credit (or similar document), or any legal opinion.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for so long as the Fund operates as a BDC, the Fund will comply with the requirements of Section 18 of the Investment Company Act.

(iii) at any time, for the purpose of satisfying accrued and/or anticipated Organizational Expenses, Fund Expenses, Management Fees, Administration Fees and other liabilities and obligations of the Fund, including amounts owing or which may become due under any borrowings by, or other extensions of credit to, the Fund and the SPVs, to the extent not satisfied from assets of the Fund (regardless of whether such borrowings were incurred prior to or after the Investment Period).

Any of the limitations set forth in this Section 5.1(a) may be amended or waived by the Investment Manager upon approval of the Fund’s independent directors and the approval of Members, which approval will be obtained through a Non-Investment Company Act Vote pursuant to Section 3.2, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including Article XV hereof) to the contrary.

(b) Funding Notices; Method of Payment; Issuance of Units.

(i) Following the initial Drawdown with respect to any Member (both of its initial Capital Commitment and of any aggregate increased Capital Commitment following a Subsequent Closing), the Investment Manager shall deliver to such Member a notice (a “Funding Notice”) requiring Capital Contributions to be made to the Fund (a “Drawdown”) no later than ten Business Days prior to the date of such Drawdown (the “Drawdown Due Date”). The Funding Notice for the initial Drawdown with respect to any Member (both of its initial Capital Commitment and of any aggregate increased Capital Commitment following a Subsequent Closing) shall be provided by the Investment Manager to such Member at least two Business Days prior to the date of such initial Drawdown.

(ii) Each Funding Notice shall specify:

(A) the date of the Drawdown;

(B) the bank account of the Fund to which Capital Contributions are to be paid;

(C) in general terms, the purpose of such Drawdown (e.g., to fund Management Fees, Administration Fees, Fund Expenses, Organizational Expenses, Portfolio Investments or a combination thereof); and

(D) the U.S. dollar amount of such Member’s proportionate share of such Drawdown determined as set forth in paragraph (d) below.

(iii) Each Member shall contribute to the Fund by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in U.S. dollars, to the bank account of the Fund designated in the Funding Notice for such Drawdown, on or prior to the date of the Drawdown as specified in such Funding Notice.

(iv) Following the Capital Contribution by a Member in respect of a Drawdown, on the Drawdown Due Date, Units will be issued to the Member. For the avoidance of doubt, the issuance of Units will not occur earlier than the Drawdown Due Date, notwithstanding that a Member contributed amounts prior to the Drawdown Due Date.

(v) At any time between the delivery of a Funding Notice and the Drawdown Due Date, the Investment Manager or the Company may cancel the Funding Notice and related Drawdown. In such event, (i) no Units will be issued to any Member in respect of such Funding Notice and (ii) any amounts contributed by a Member in respect of such Funding Notice will be returned to the Member.

(i) in respect of any Portfolio Investment, such Capital Contribution shall be equal to such Member’s Remaining Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount required for the Fund to make such Portfolio Investment;

(ii) in respect of Management Fees (subject to Section 4.1(f)(iii)), such Capital Contribution shall be equal to such Member’s Invested Capital Percentage of the aggregate amount required by the Fund to pay such Management Fees;

(iii) in respect of Administration Fees (subject to Section 4.1(g)(iii)), such Capital Contribution shall be equal to such Member’s Cost Basis Percentage of the aggregate amount required by the Fund to pay such Administration Fees;

(iv) in respect of Fund Expenses that are attributable to a particular Portfolio Investment, such Capital Contribution shall be made by the Participating Members pro rata in accordance with the respective Capital Contributions that the Participating Members will make or have made (or will be, or are, deemed under Section 10.2(g) to have made) in respect of such Portfolio Investment; and

(v) in respect of Fund Expenses that are not attributable to a particular Portfolio Investment and in respect of Organizational Expenses, such Capital Contribution shall be equal to such Member’s Capital Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount required by the Fund to pay such Fund Expenses or Organizational Expenses.

Capital Contributions shall be deemed to be made in respect of clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) above solely to the extent so specified in the Funding Notice.

(d) Cancellation of Funding Notices. If the Investment Manager, in its sole discretion, deems it advisable, it may proportionately reduce the amount of, or cancel, the amount of Capital Contributions required to be made to the Fund in any Funding Notice by giving notice to each Member, and any amount not so contributed shall not be deducted from the Members’ Remaining Capital Commitments.

(e) Expiration of Investment Period. Subject to Section 3.2(b), at the end of the Investment Period, each Member will be released from any further obligation to make Capital Contributions other than as contemplated by Section 5.1(a).

SECTION 5.2. Defaulting Member.

(a) General. If any Member fails to contribute, when due, all or any portion of any Capital Contribution or any other amount required to be funded by such Member hereunder, and such failure continues for ten Business Days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Managing Members (a “Default”), then such Member may be designated by the Managing Members as in default under this Agreement (a “Defaulting Member”) and shall thereafter be subject, without further consent of such Member, to the provisions of this Section 5.2. The Managing Members may choose not to designate any Member as a Defaulting Member and may agree to waive or permit the cure of any Default by a Member, subject to such conditions as the Managing Members and such Member may agree upon; provided that the Managing Members shall not be entitled to waive any Default committed by any Related Person in such Related Person’s capacity as a Member without the approval of the Independent Directors and consent of the Members.

(b) Funding of Defaulted Amount. Upon the occurrence of a Default and as promptly as practicable thereafter, the Investment Manager may deliver an amended Funding Notice (which shall include notice of such Default) to the non-Defaulting Members subject to the original Funding Notice increasing, subject to Section 3.2(b) and in the applicable proportion set forth in Section 5.1(c), depending upon the purpose for which the Capital Contribution or other amount was to be used, the Capital Contributions to be made by the non-Defaulting Members by up to an aggregate amount equal to the Capital Contribution or other amounts which the Defaulting Member failed to make (the “Defaulted Amount”). Payment of such additional Capital Contributions shall be made within five Business Days after such amended Funding Notice has been given. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.2(b) shall require a Member to contribute any amount in excess of its Remaining Capital Commitment.

(c) Defaulted Capital Commitment. With respect to the Remaining Capital Commitment of any Defaulting Member, the Investment Manager may (i) admit to the Fund, including in connection with the sale of a Defaulting Member’s Units in accordance with Section 5.2(d), a Substitute Member to assume all or any portion of such Remaining Capital Commitment on the terms and conditions (to the extent applicable) set forth in Section 10.2 without the consent of any other Member, or (ii) offer to the non-Defaulting Members, subject to such timing and other conditions as the Investment Manager may impose, the opportunity to increase their respective Remaining Capital Commitments in proportion to their relative Capital Commitment Percentages (with a similar proportionate right to further increase their respective Remaining Capital Commitments in the event that one or more non-Defaulting Members declines such offer), up to an aggregate amount equal to such Defaulting Member’s Remaining Capital Commitment. The Investment Manager shall revise the Schedule to reflect the admission of any Substitute Member or change in Capital Commitments contemplated by this Section 5.2(c).

(d) Sale of Units. Subject to Applicable Law and Section 10.3 of this Agreement, the Managing Members may sell all or any portion of the Defaulting Member’s Units to any one or more of (i) the Fund (which Units may or may not be cancelled by the Investment Manager in its sole discretion), (ii) the other Members (other than any Defaulting Members), such offer to be shared among such Members to the extent that they wish to participate in such purchase in proportion to their respective Capital Commitment Percentages, (iii) the Managing Members or (iv) a third party or parties designated by the Managing Members (which third party or parties may be Affiliates of the Managing Members or any Member), in each case, at a purchase price equal to such price as the Managing Members determine, in their sole discretion, is fair and reasonable under the circumstances; provided that

any such sale shall not be for a purchase price less than current net asset value (“NAV”) and provided further that prior to any sale to the Managing Members or any such third party pursuant to this Section 5.2(d), all non-Defaulting Members shall have first been offered an opportunity in writing to purchase the Defaulting Member’s Units as aforesaid, and such sale to the Managing Members or such third party shall only be made to the extent of the portion of the Defaulting Member’s Units that such Members have not purchased or as to which they have not indicated their acceptance of such offer to the Managing Members, in either case, within ten Business Days after receipt of such offer. Any purchase price to be paid to the Defaulting Member for its Units under this Section 5.2(d) may be offset by the aggregate amount of all costs and expenses for which such Member may be liable pursuant to Section 5.2(g) and interest pursuant to Section 5.2(e)(iii) and such amounts shall be retained by the Fund.

(e) Interest Charge; Offset. In addition to the foregoing, the Managing Members may:

(i) apply amounts otherwise distributable to such Defaulting Member in satisfaction of all amounts payable by such Defaulting Member; and/or

(ii) charge such Defaulting Member interest on the Defaulted Amount and any other amounts not timely paid at the Default Rate from the date such amounts were due and payable through the date that full payment of such amounts is actually made or, if such amounts are not paid, through the end of the Term, and to the extent not paid, such interest charge may be deducted from amounts otherwise distributable to such Defaulting Member.

In addition, as may be determined by the Managing Members in any case, such Defaulting Member shall have no further right to make Capital Contributions to the Fund to participate in any Portfolio Investment and such Defaulting Member shall, to that extent, be treated for purposes of Section 5.1 as no longer a Member.

(f) Contribution of Capital Commitment. Following a Default, the Managing Members may require a Defaulting Member to contribute the entirety of its Remaining Capital Commitment to the Fund or to an account for the benefit of, and under the control of, the Fund.

(g) Other Remedies; Payment of Expenses. The Managing Members shall have the right to pursue all remedies at law or in equity available to it with respect to the Default of a Defaulting Member, who shall be liable for and pay on demand (to the extent not satisfied pursuant to Section 5.2(d)) all fees, costs, expenses and liabilities (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf of the Fund in connection with the enforcement against it of this Agreement sustained as a result of a Default by such Member, which payment shall not constitute a Capital Contribution to the Fund. No right, power or remedy conferred upon the Managing Members in this Section 5.2 shall be exclusive, and each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power or remedy whether conferred in this Section 5.2 or now or hereafter available at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise with respect to the Default of a Defaulting Member. No course of dealing between the Managing Members and any Defaulting Member and no delay in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred in this Section 5.2 or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall operate as a waiver or otherwise prejudice any such right, power or remedy.

(h) Obligations of Defaulting Member Not Extinguished. Other than as provided in this Section 5.2, the obligations of any Defaulting Member to the Fund hereunder shall not be extinguished as a result of the existence of the rights, or the occurrence of one or more of the transactions, contemplated by this Section 5.2.

(i) Interest Payable. If a Member fails to make, when due, all or any portion of any Capital Contribution or any other payment required to be made hereunder by such Member and either the Managing Members does not designate such Member a Defaulting Member or such Member fully pays the unpaid balance of such Capital Contribution or other payment within ten Business Days of receipt of notice from the Managing Members as set forth in Section 5.2(a), the Managing Members may, in its sole discretion, charge such Member interest on the unpaid balance of any such Capital Contribution or other payment at the Default Rate from the date such balance was due and payable through the date full payment for such balance is actually made, and failure of such Member to pay such interest amount will subject such Member to all the provisions of this Section 5.2, including all remedies available to the Fund pursuant to Section 5.2(g).

(j) Pre-Estimate of Loss. Without prejudice to the foregoing, it is agreed that the provisions of this Section 5.2 in relation to the Units of any Defaulting Member (including any abrogation of rights in respect of allocations, distributions or withdrawals, and any right of sale or forfeiture in respect of a Defaulting Member’s Units) constitutes a good faith pre-estimate of the loss likely to be suffered by the Fund as a result of the Defaulting Member’s default.

(k) Several Unit Treatment. If an Access Fund LP does not satisfy its obligations under a capital call by the Access Fund, giving rise to a portion of a capital call made by the Fund upon the Access Fund being under-funded, then, if the Fund determines to enforce any default remedies against the Access Fund, the Fund agrees that it shall enforce such remedies only on a proportionate and several basis (i.e., the Access Fund’s Units shall be treated as if they were held by more than one member of the Fund and remedies shall be applied solely with respect to a portion of the Access Fund’s Units that corresponds to the amount of the capital contribution shortfall that corresponds to the interest of the particular defaulting Access Fund LP). For illustrative purposes only, if the Access Fund contributes only 95% of a required capital contribution to the Fund due to the default of an Access Fund LP holding a 5% interest in the Access Fund, then only 5% of the Access Fund’s Units shall be subject to the Fund’s available default remedies and 95% of the Access Fund’s Units shall be treated as separate Units that shall maintain their full rights and entitlements under this Agreement. With respect to each capital call made by the Fund for which there is a shortfall in the capital contribution of the Access Fund due to a Access Fund LP not satisfying in full its obligations under a capital call by the Access Fund, a portion of the Access Fund’s Units corresponding to the interests in the Access Fund of Access Fund LPs defaulting on their capital contribution to the Access Fund shall be moved to a separate account for each defaulting Access Fund LP and the sole remedy of the Fund against the Access Fund with respect to the shortfall attributable to a defaulting Access Fund LP shall be with regard to such newly created accounts.

SECTION 5.3. Subsequent Closings.

(a) Certain Conditions to Admission. In addition to the admission of Members at the Initial Closing, the Investment Manager may, without the consent of any of the Members on any date not later than the Final Admission Date, schedule one or more Subsequent Closings for any Person seeking admission to the Fund as an additional Member or a Member wishing to increase the amount of its Capital Commitment (each, a “Subsequent Closing Member”) and admit such Subsequent Closing Member to the Fund as a member or increase such Member’s Capital Commitment, subject, in the case of each such admission or increase, to satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) The Subsequent Closing Member shall have executed and delivered such instruments and shall have taken such actions as the Investment Manager shall deem necessary or desirable to effect such admission or increase, including the execution of a Subscription Agreement pursuant to which the Subsequent Closing Member agrees to adhere to and be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Such admission or increase shall not be reasonably likely to result in a violation of any Applicable Law, including the United States federal securities laws, or any term or condition of this Agreement.

(b) Payments to the Fund by Subsequent Closing Members. Members admitted to the Fund after the initial closing will participate in all Portfolio Investments, including those held by the Fund prior to the time of their admission, and will bear a pro rata share of the Organizational Expenses and other Fund expenses incurred prior to their admission. Such Members will be required to pay to the Fund in connection with such closing an amount equal to their proportionate share of all funded Commitments made prior to their admission (including amounts called to fund Portfolio Investments, Organizational Expenses, Management Fees, Administration Fees and other Fund expenses).

(c) Admission as Member. A Subsequent Closing Member shall be deemed admitted to the Fund as a Member upon acceptance by the Managing Members of such Subsequent Closing Member’s Capital Commitment (or increase in such Subsequent Closing Member’s Capital Commitment) and its agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. The Managing Members shall revise the Schedule to reflect the admission of each Subsequent Closing Member (or any increase in a Subsequent Closing Member’s Capital Commitment).

ARTICLE VI

DISTRIBUTIONS

SECTION 6.1. No Right to Withdraw Capital or Other Funds.

No Member shall have the right to withdraw capital or demand or receive distributions or other returns of any amount in its Capital Account, except as expressly provided in this Article VI and Sections 10.3, 10.4 and 12.3.

SECTION 6.2. Distributions.

(a) Timing. Subject to availability and Section 6.4, the Fund shall cause Distributable Cash to be paid to the Investment Manager as an Incentive Fee and distributed to the Members as provided hereunder at such times as the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion by designating amounts of Distributable Cash as available for distribution. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.2(a), it is expected that any such Distributable Cash shall be distributed within 15 Business Days after such designation. All calculations with respect to distributions shall be made on a Portfolio Investment by Portfolio Investment basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fund shall make distributions to the Members in accordance with the requirements of Section 852(a) of the Code and in a manner that seeks to eliminate or minimize, when appropriate, the imposition of U.S. federal income tax under Section 852(b) of the Code and U.S. federal excise tax under Section 4982 of the Code.

(b) Distributions of Distributable Cash. Subject to the requirements of Section 852(a) of the Code, the Fund will make payments of the Incentive Fee and distributions out of two categories: Current Proceeds and Disposition Proceeds (collectively referred to as “Investment Proceeds”). Investment Proceeds shall be divided between and distributed to all Members, on the one hand, and paid to the Investment Manager as an Incentive Fee, on the other hand, in the following amounts and order of priority:

(i) Disposition Proceeds apportioned to Members shall be divided between and distributed to Members, on the one hand, and paid to the Investment Manager as an Incentive Fee, on the other hand, in the following amounts and order of priority:

(A) Return of Capital Contributions. First, 100% to such Member until such Member has received cumulative distributions of Investment Proceeds pursuant to this clause (i)(A) equal to such Member’s total Capital Contributions to the Fund (including amounts contributed to pay Management Fees, Administration Fees, Organizational Expenses and other Fund Expenses);

(B) Member Preferred Return. Second, 100% of all remaining Disposition Proceeds to Members until they have each received cumulative distributions of Investment Proceeds, without duplication, pursuant to this clause (B) and clause (D) below and pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(ii)(A) and Section 6.2(b)(ii)(C) below equal to a 6% per annum, compounded annually, on Member’s unreturned capital contributions to the Fund (including amounts contributed to pay Management Fees, Administration Fees, Organizational Expenses and other Fund Expenses) (the “Preferred Return”);

(C) Investment Manager Catch Up to 15%. Third, 80% of all remaining Disposition Proceeds paid to the Investment Manager as an Incentive Fee until the Investment Manager has received payments of Investment Proceeds with respect to Members pursuant to this clause (C) and Section 6.2(b)(ii)(B) equal to 15% of the total amounts distributed to Members and paid to the Investment Manager pursuant to clause (B) above and this clause (C) and pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(ii)(A) and Section 6.2(b)(ii)(B); and

(D) 85%/15% Shares. Thereafter, 85% to Members and 15% paid to the Investment Manager as an Incentive Fee.

(ii) Current Proceeds apportioned to Members shall be divided between and distributed to Members, on the one hand, and paid to the Investment Manager as an Incentive Fee, on the other hand, in the following amounts and order of priority:

(A) Member Preferred Return. First, 100% of all Current Proceeds to Members until Members have received cumulative distributions of Investment Proceeds, without duplication, pursuant to this clause (A) and clause (C) below and pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(i)(B) and Section 6.2(b)(i)(D) equal to the Preferred Return;

(B) Investment Manager Catch Up to 15%. Second, 80% of all remaining Current Proceeds paid to the Investment Manager as an Incentive Fee until the Investment Manager has received payments of Investment Proceeds with respect to Members pursuant to this clause (B) and Section 6.2(b)(i)(C) equal to 15% of the total amounts distributed to Members and paid to the Investment Manager pursuant to clause (A) above and this clause (B) and pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(i)(B) and Section 6.2(b)(i)(C); and

In no event will the Investment Manager receive amounts attributable to Investment Proceeds that, as of any distribution or payment date, exceeds 20% of cumulative realized capital gains net of all cumulative realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Investment Manager shall have the right with respect to all Members, upon approval of the Independent Directors, to waive or reduce the Incentive Fee to which it is entitled. The Investment Manager may also elect not to receive all or any portion of the Incentive Fee that would otherwise be paid to it, and may cause any or all amounts subsequently available for distribution to the Members to be paid to the Investment Manager until it has received the same aggregate amount of Incentive Fees had it not previously waived receipt of Incentive Fees.

For purposes of this Agreement, the “Incentive Fees” means the amounts payable to the Investment Manager pursuant to Sections 6.2(b)(i)(C) and (D), Sections 6.2(b)(ii)(B) and (C), Section 6.3 and Section 12.3(b). All Incentive Fees payable or paid to the Investment Manager shall be treated as the payment of a fee for services and not as a distribution with respect to Units for all applicable purposes including U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.

(c) Clawback. In connection with, but in no event more than 30 days after, the distribution to the Members pursuant to Section 12.3(b), the Investment Manager shall return to the Fund, for distribution to the Members, in each case, an aggregate amount of cash so that:

(i) the Members shall have received cumulative distributions from the Fund pursuant to Sections 6.2(b)(i)(A), (B) and (D), Sections 6.2(b)(ii)(A) and (C), this Section 6.2(c), Section 6.3, and Section 12.3(b) equal to the aggregate Capital Contributions made by the Members, plus the Preferred Return thereon; and

(ii) the aggregate amount paid to the Investment Manager in respect of the Members pursuant to Sections 6.2(b)(i)(C) and (D), Sections 6.2(b)(ii)(B) and (C), Section 6.3 and Section 12.3(b) shall not exceed 15% of the excess of (x) the amount of the cumulative distributions made to the Members and to the Investment Manager in respect of the Members pursuant to Section 6.2(b), this Section 6.2(c), Section 6.3 and Section 12.3(b) over (y) the aggregate Capital Contributions made by the Members.

Additionally, as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of each fiscal year of the Fund, the Investment Manager shall determine the amount, if any, of its Interim Clawback Obligation with respect to the Members as of such dates. If an Interim Clawback Obligation exists, then amounts which would otherwise be paid to the Investment Manager and distributed to the Members pursuant to Section 6.2(b) thereafter shall instead be paid to the Investment Manager as an Incentive Fee and distributed to the Members in such proportions as are necessary to eliminate such Interim Clawback Obligation and any such distribution to Members shall reduce the Interim Clawback Obligation; provided, however, that the Interim Clawback Obligation shall be reduced to reflect any subsequent increase in the Fair Value of the Fund’s assets (either realized or unrealized), but only to the extent any such increase in Fair Value would result in a reduced Interim Clawback Obligation if such increase had been taken into account in the determination of the Interim Clawback Obligation pursuant to this Section 6.2(c) when originally calculated. Any distribution made to Members under this Section 6.2(c) shall for all purposes of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 6.2(c), be counted as a distribution under Section 6.2(b) for purposes of calculating subsequent distributions to be made under Section 6.2(b) and any amount required to be returned by the Investment Manager pursuant to this Section 6.2(c), and the Investment Manager will recharacterize distributions as it determines to be necessary in order to implement such intent.

For purposes of this Section 6.2(c), the “Interim Clawback Obligation” of the Investment Manager means the aggregate amount, if any, that the Investment Manager would be required to contribute to the Fund under Sections 6.2(c)(i) and 6.2(c)(ii) for distribution to Members if at the time such Interim Clawback Obligation is calculated all of the assets of the Fund were sold for their Fair Value, and the net proceeds (after payment of Fund liabilities) were distributed to the Members in dissolution of the Fund in accordance with Section 12.3 at the end of the applicable fiscal year (adjusted to reflect the Investment Manager’s estimate of taxes actually paid or payable with respect to distributions of Incentive Fees on or prior to such date).

The aggregate liability of the Investment Manager to the Members pursuant to this Section 6.2(c) shall not exceed the aggregate amount of Incentive Fee paid to the Investment Manager relative to Members pursuant to Sections 6.2(b)(i)(C) and (D), Sections 6.2(b)(ii)(B) and (C), Section 6.3 and Section 12.3(b), net of taxes in respect thereof at the Assumed Income Tax Rate.

The Investment Manager shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, cause SCP, or one or more appropriately capitalized Affiliates of SCP, as the case may be, to execute and deliver to the Fund a guaranty of the obligations of the Investment Manager under this Section 6.2(c) in the form set forth on Exhibit B (it being understood and agreed that any such obligation of the Investment Manager and of the guarantors shall be several and not joint).

(d) Transaction Fees. If the Investment Manager or any of its subsidiaries receives any Transaction Fees, or if the Fund receives any Transaction Fees and distributes such Transaction Fees to the Investment Manager or any of its subsidiaries (other than as a result of a distribution by the Fund to the Members generally pursuant to the distribution mechanics described above), Management Fees for the period or periods following the receipt of such Transaction Fees will be reduced by an amount equal to 100% of such Transaction Fees. In determining the Fund’s portion of any Transaction Fees, the Fund may take into account its proportionate ownership of a Portfolio Investment’s entire capital structure (including both debt and equity). The Investment Manager or any of its subsidiaries may take actions to give effect to the above arrangement other than reducing Management Fees (e.g., rebating or waiving Transaction Fees at the Portfolio Investment level), in which case Transaction Fees will not reduce Management Fees as described above. The provisions of this Section 6.2(d) may be amended or waived upon approval of the Fund’s independent directors and the approval of Members, which approval will be obtained through a Non-Investment Company Act Vote pursuant to Section 3.2.

(e) U.S. GAAP. The Fund (or its designee) will use reasonable best efforts to ensure that quarterly net asset value or Member capital account calculations (and any calculations or underlying transactions that comprise such quarterly net asset value calculations) are carried out in a manner consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Fund (or its designee) will indicate in writing to the Members if the Fund plans on deviating from U.S. GAAP in the future, provide details as to why the Fund is planning to deviate from U.S. GAAP, and provide a quarterly reconciliation of net asset value to the U.S. GAAP net asset value on an Access Fund-level basis.

SECTION 6.3. Distributions in Kind.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.3(c) or Article X, distributions prior to the dissolution of the Fund shall only take the form of cash. In connection with the winding-up of the Fund in accordance with Section 12.3, distributions may also include Securities. Other than a distribution on a withdrawal pursuant to Article X, each class or type of Securities so distributed (and each portion of such class or type of Securities that has a different holding period or separately identifiable cost basis per share or other unit) shall be treated as a separate distribution under this Section 6.3. No distribution of property other than cash shall be made if such distribution would violate any contract or agreement to which the Fund is then a party or Applicable Law.

SECTION 6.4. Restrictions on Distributions; Reinvestment of Proceeds, Reserves, Etc.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VII, Distributable Cash may (and in certain circumstances, shall) be retained by the Fund as provided in the following provisions of this Section 6.4:

(a) Violations. No distribution shall be made if such distribution would violate any contract or agreement to which the Fund is then a party, the Delaware Act or any other Applicable Law.

(b) Reinvestment of Proceeds.

(i) Subject to the requirements of Section 852(a) of the Code, Recyclable Proceeds received during the Investment Period (or to the extent the Fund has entered into a binding contract to receive Recyclable Proceeds during the Investment Period, such contracted proceeds) may be used to pay down outstanding debt or may be reinvested to the extent received (or contracted to be received), or if distributed, will be added to the Members’ Remaining Capital Commitments and will be subject to drawdown in accordance with Section 5.1. Such Recyclable Proceeds received after the Investment Period may only be reinvested (x) (A) to make “follow-on” investments as determined by the Investment Manager in its sole discretion in order to enhance, preserve or protect the Fund’s existing Portfolio Investments (subject to a maximum amount of 15% of aggregate Capital Commitments), (B) to make Portfolio Investments which were in process (e.g., investments in respect of which a non-disclosure or similar agreement has been entered into or for which the Fund has submitted a binding or non-binding bid or indication of interest) but which were not yet consummated as of the end of the Investment Period, (C) to adjust any hedging positions as the Investment Manager may deem to be advisable, (D) in Securities in connection with the maintenance of reserves pursuant to Section 6.4(c) or pending the making of investments or transactions contemplated by this Section 6.4(b)(i), or (E) to sell an existing Portfolio Investment and purchase a new Portfolio Investment to the extent such transaction does not materially increase the overall risk profile of the Fund or materially reduce the liquidity of the Fund, all as determined by the Investment Manager in its sole discretion or (y) to the extent such proceeds constitute amounts received by the Fund pursuant to the sale of a Portfolio Investment to the Offshore Fund, other Parallel Investment Vehicles, co-investors and/or to third parties. The Fund may engage in transactions giving rise to leverage with respect to particular investments (including by refinancing or securitizing an investment) throughout the Fund’s Term (including after the Investment Period), which transactions will not constitute reinvestment or be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.4(b).

(ii) Recyclable Proceeds permitted to be reinvested in accordance with Section 6.4(b)(i) that have been distributed in whole or in part to the Members shall be added to the Members’ Remaining Capital Commitments and be subject to Drawdowns in accordance with Section 5.1.

(c) Establishment of Reserves. Subject to the requirements of Section 852(a) of the Code, to the extent that the Investment Manager, in its discretion, determines that any amount should be retained by the Fund, reasonable reserves may be established to (i) pay, or provide for the payment of, any existing or anticipated liability or obligation of the Fund, whether liquidated, fixed, contingent or otherwise (including Management Fees and Administration Fees, which shall be borne by the Members consistent with the manner provided under Sections 5.1(c)(ii) through (v), as applicable) or (ii) provide working capital consistent with good fiscal operating policy and management and for such other needs as the Investment Manager shall reasonably deem appropriate.

(d) Distribution Information. The Fund agrees, for distributions made by the Fund, to prepare and send to Members annually, a detailed break-out showing that portion of the total distribution proceeds attributable to return of Capital Contributions, recoupment of realized losses, Organizational Expenses that exceed the Organizational Expense Cap, if any, return of expenses, return of management fees, distribution of profits and Incentive Fee distributions as well as a separate breakout for each of such items between distributions to the Members and distributions to the Investment Manager which includes the tax characteristics of each distributable item. In addition, the Fund agrees to prepare and send to the Members within 45 days of the end of the third quarter of each year, in draft form (subject to change), high level estimates of the annual information requested in this Section 6.4(d).

SECTION 6.5. Withholding.

The Fund and the Investment Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts to structure the investments of the Fund in a manner that minimizes the extent to which the income of the Fund would be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax upon distribution to a person that is not a “United States person” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Fund and the Investment Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts to structure any incurrence of indebtedness by the Fund in a manner that will not cause any direct or indirect investor that is a tax exempt organization for U.S. federal income tax purposes to be treated as earning “unrelated business taxable income” on account of its ownership of a direct or indirect interest in the Fund. Such efforts may preclude the Fund from participating in an investment that otherwise fits the investment objective of the Fund.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the Investment Manager or the Fund is required by law (including under circumstances where the Investment Manager or the Fund is unable to rely conclusively on any withholding certification provided by a Member) to withhold or to make tax payments, including any interest or penalties, on behalf of or with respect to any Member or Members, the Investment Manager or the Fund may withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required.

The Fund will use commercially reasonable efforts to not, and the Investment Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Fund will not, make any investments or conduct any activities outside of the United States.

SECTION 6.6. Record Holders.

Any distribution of the assets belonging to the Fund, whether pursuant to this Article VI or otherwise, shall be made only to Persons who were the holders of record of interests in the Fund on the books and records of the Fund on the date which the Investment Manager shall have determined that such Persons became entitled thereto.

SECTION 6.7. Final Distribution.

ARTICLE VII

CONCERNING ACTIVITIES OF THE MANAGING MEMBERS, INVESTMENT MANAGER, ETC.

SECTION 7.1. Other Investment Activities; Conflicts of Interest.

Subject to any limitations stated herein or in the Management Agreement, each Member expressly agrees that the Managing Members, Investment Manager, other Related Persons and any of their respective members, partners, officers, employees, Affiliates and any of the officers or agents of the Fund will have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those connected with the Fund, whether or not such interests or activities are competitive with those of the Fund, which interests and activities may be similar to or different from those of the Fund and are expected to include purchasing, selling or holding Securities for such Person’s own account and for the accounts of others, and performing investment advisory services and management services for various clients and accounts other than the Fund. The Investment Manager, its employees and any of their respective Affiliates expect to invest for their own accounts and for the accounts of clients in various Securities that are senior, pari passu or junior to, or have interests different from or adverse to, the Portfolio Investments that are owned by the Fund.

The Fund and its investments may contribute assets to, create or otherwise sponsor Structured Investments, in which it and other SCP clients may invest in different and potentially adverse tranches. In conducting business activities or acquiring Securities for other business interests (whether different from or similar to those of the Fund), and subject to the Investment Company Act, the Investment Manager, other Related Persons and any of their respective members, partners, officers, employees, Affiliates and any of the officers or agents of the Fund shall, except as specifically provided to the contrary herein or in the Management

Agreement, be under no duty or obligation to make business opportunities (including any opportunity to acquire Securities) available to the Fund. The Investment Manager and the officers or agents of the Fund are authorized to combine purchase or sale orders on behalf of the Fund together with orders for other accounts managed by the Investment Manager or its Affiliates and to allocate the Securities or other assets so purchased or sold, on an equitable basis, among such accounts.

The Investment Manager and its Affiliates may engage in transactions that arrange for or provide financing of or leverage for the Fund’s investment program and/or investments, and the Fund may pledge or sell assets (including pursuant to reverse repurchase agreements) to the Investment Manager and its Affiliates in connection therewith.

The Fund is expected to hold certain investments and conduct certain activities through SPVs or other structures. The Fund is expected to enter into a credit facility and shall not be prohibited from directly or indirectly entering into a credit facility collateralized by Capital Commitments or other assets. The Investment Manager expects to at certain times be simultaneously seeking to purchase (or sell) investments for the Fund and to sell (or purchase) the same investment for accounts, funds or structured products managed by the Investment Manager or its Affiliates now or in the future, or for its clients or Affiliates, and to enter into cross trades (including similar transactions such as novations of derivatives positions) in such circumstances, including with respect to Securities or other assets that may be illiquid or difficult to value.

The Investment Manager and its Affiliates may source or originate certain investments on behalf of the Fund and later offer a portion of one or more investments to certain other funds or accounts managed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates, in each case subject to their own investment-review process, and to co-investors and/or third parties. The Investment Manager and its Affiliates expect to buy Securities and other investments from or sell Securities and other investments to the Fund, if permitted by and in accordance with Applicable Law.

The Fund may utilize or otherwise engage in transactions with, and to invest in entities that utilize or otherwise engage in transactions with, Service Providers that are owned by, affiliated with or otherwise related to the Fund, other SCP clients, SCP, any Affiliate of SCP or their respective personnel. Each Member further expressly agrees that the Investment Manager, in its sole discretion, may offer individual Members the opportunity, or may permit any other Person to co-invest with the Fund, which may result in conflicts between the Fund and such co-investors. Allocations of co-investment opportunities will be made at the Investment Manager’s sole discretion and may result in investments being made on different terms than those on which the Fund invests. Any Member participating in a co-investment may be required to pay carried interest and fees (including management and administration fees) in connection with such co-investment. Each Member further expressly acknowledges that a Portfolio Investment may engage in activities or take actions that adversely impact the Fund and/or its other Portfolio Investments.

Each Member acknowledges and agrees that, in order to minimize certain conflicts of interest or regulatory issues or obligations, the Fund may avoid making certain investments or taking certain actions, which could have the effect of limiting the Fund’s investment opportunities. Alternatively, the Fund might resolve the conflict or regulatory issue by adopting a particular investment strategy (including disposing of an investment earlier than it otherwise would have if no conflict existed), which could result in a different investment outcome than might arise if the Fund had adopted an otherwise different investment strategy. Each Member further acknowledges and agrees that the Fund may be unable or limited in its ability to acquire a Portfolio Investment or take certain actions with respect to a Portfolio Investment (including taking “active” positions with respect to such Portfolio Investment) due to the Investment Manager’s or its Affiliates’ duties to other clients or under Applicable Law (including the Advisers Act, the Investment Company Act and ERISA) or by the Investment Manager’s or its Affiliates’ intention to avoid certain potential conflicts of interest or regulatory issues or obligations. The Investment Manager and the Fund may be required to take certain actions due to such issues, obligations, duties and potential conflicts or regulatory issues.

Each Member acknowledges and agrees that any and all of the foregoing activities may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time, to which each such Member hereby consents, and that such activities as are expressly authorized or contemplated by this Section 7.1 or any other provision of this Agreement may be engaged in (and, subject to Applicable Law, consented to on behalf of the Fund) by the Investment Manager, other Related Persons and any of their respective members, partners, officers, employees, Affiliates and any of the officers or agents of the Fund and will not, in any case or in the aggregate, be deemed a breach of this Agreement, the Management Agreement or (to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law) any duty that might be owed by any such Person to the Fund or to any Member or any other Person, at law or in equity (including fiduciary duties).

Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Investment Manager shall not be obligated to refer any actual or potential conflict of interest to Members, or to act in accordance with their advice and counsel. However, if the Investment Manager chooses or is required under this Agreement to do so, matters approved by the holders of a majority of the Units will be final and binding on the Fund and the Members.

Each Member acknowledges and agrees that the Investment Manager or its Affiliates expect to come into possession of material non-public information concerning specific issuers that may limit the Investment Manager’s flexibility to buy or sell Securities issued by such issuers or other entities for the Fund or otherwise use such information for the benefit of the Fund (e.g., in situations when the Fund is asked to grant consents, waivers or amendments with respect to loans, the Investment Manager’s ability to assess the desirability of such consents, waivers and amendments may be compromised). Each Member further acknowledges and agrees that the Investment Manager may decline to pursue certain investment opportunities on behalf of the Fund in order to avoid being in possession of material non-public information in respect of an issuer where such possession would limit the Investment Manager’s ability to trade in other Securities of such issuer, and also that the Investment Manager may decline to receive material non-public information even if it may be beneficial to the Fund to receive such information.

ARTICLE VIII

The Investment Manager shall cooperate fully in connection with any such inspection or examination, subject to the Investment Manager’s right to keep information confidential pursuant to Section 15.12 hereunder. The Fund shall promptly furnish, subject to a requirement for the recipient Member to keep such information confidential, a list of names and addresses of all Members to any Member who requests such a list in writing for any such proper purpose, and each Member hereby expressly consents to such disclosure. In addition, each Member will be entitled to receive, upon request, copies of this Agreement and all amendments, supplements and Exhibits hereto as then in effect (exclusive of the Schedule). This Section 9.1 shall be subject in all respects to Sections 9.1(c), 15.2 and 15.12, and shall not limit or otherwise restrict, in any respect, the discretion of the Investment Manager in connection with any actions contemplated in any of said sections.

(c) Access to Information.

(d) Quarterly Capital Statements and RIC Compliance Reports. The Investment Manager, (i) subject to receipt of all necessary information from third parties, shall use its reasonable efforts to cause to be prepared and provided to the Access Fund, within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter, in draft form (subject to change) (x) unaudited information, including loan-level detail and detailed portfolio statistics, (y) quarterly reports, including a qualitative letter that shall include a textual discussion of any material events, undertakings or trends involving the Portfolio Investments, (z) unaudited financial statements and an unaudited capital account statement relating to such Member, (ii) shall cause to be prepared and provided to the Access Fund such other reports as are reasonably requested by the Access Fund or that the Investment Manager may in its sole discretion deem desirable.

The Fund shall promptly provide to the Members copies of all material correspondence with any relevant tax authority regarding any audit, inquiry or other similar administrative proceeding in relation to the Fund.

The Fund and the Investment Manager shall use reasonable best efforts to not knowingly cause the Fund to engage directly or indirectly in a transaction that, as of the date the transaction is entered into by the Fund, is a “listed transaction,” a “prohibited reportable transaction,” or a “subsequently listed transaction” (each as defined in Section 4695(e) of the Code).

In connection with each payment of a distribution (including a deemed distribution) by the Fund, on the date of such distribution, the Fund will provide each Member with a good-faith reasonable estimate (in accordance with the requirements of U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1441-3(c)(2)(ii)(A) and (c)(3)(i)) of the amounts of such distribution constituting a “return of capital distribution,” “interest-related dividend distribution,” “ordinary dividend distribution,” “short term capital gain distribution” and “long term capital gain distribution” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

TRANSFER OF UNITS; SUBSTITUTE

MEMBERS

SECTION 10.1. Withdrawal of Managing Members.

Without the consent of the Board’s independent directors and the Members, which shall be obtained through a Non-Investment Company Act Vote pursuant to Section 3.2, the Managing Members shall not have the right to withdraw from the Fund generally or to sell, transfer, assign, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber all or any part of its Units as the Managing Members of the Fund; provided that, without any consent of the Members, the Managing Members may, at the Managing Member’s expense, be reconstituted as or converted into another form of entity (any such reconstituted or converted entity being deemed to be the Managing Members for all purposes hereof) by merger, consolidation or otherwise, so long as such reconstitution or conversion does not have adverse tax or legal consequences for the Members and a majority of the Members shall not have made a reasonable objection to such transaction prior to the effective date thereof; provided, further, that, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Managing Members may transfer their Units as Managing Members of the Fund to an entity that is not affiliated with the Managing Member or the Investment Manager if the Managing Member, in its sole discretion, deems such transfer necessary or advisable to address Applicable Law to the Fund so long as a majority of the Members shall not, after notice, have made a reasonable objection to such transfer prior to the effective date thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of this Section 10.1 shall not apply with respect to the actions contemplated by Sections 4.1(b) or 4.6 hereof.

In the event of a permitted assignment or other transfer of all of their Units as Managing Members of the Fund in accordance with this Agreement, the Managing Members shall withdraw as managing members of the Fund and each of their assignees or transferees shall be substituted in their place and admitted to the Fund as the managing members of the Fund.

SECTION 10.2. Assignments and Withdrawals by Members.

(a) No Withdrawal. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member may withdraw from the Fund or make a demand for or receive paid-in capital until the dissolution of the Fund.

(b) No Assignment. No Member may sell, transfer, assign, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber all or any part of such Member’s Units (including any right to receive distributions or allocations in respect of such Units), whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law (each, an “Assignment”).

SECTION 10.3. Reliance.

An Indemnitee shall incur no liability in acting in good faith upon any signature or writing believed by such Indemnitee to be genuine, may rely on a certificate signed by an officer of any Person in order to ascertain any fact with respect to such Person or within such Person’s knowledge, and may rely on an opinion of counsel reasonably selected by such Indemnitee with respect to legal matters. Each Indemnitee may act directly or through such Indemnitee’s agents or attorneys. Each Indemnitee may consult with counsel, appraisers, engineers, accountants and other skilled Persons reasonably selected by such Indemnitee and shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith in reliance upon the advice of any of such Persons. No Indemnitee shall be liable to the Fund or any Member for any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer or employee of such Indemnitee; provided that such error does not constitute Disabling Conduct of such Indemnitee.

SECTION 10.4. Indemnification of Indemnitees; Contribution.

(a) General. The Fund shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all liabilities, disputes, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), damages, losses, fines, penalties, fees, interest and judgments, of whatever nature, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated (“Losses”), that may accrue to or be incurred by any Indemnitee in connection with any claim, demand, investigation, suit, proceeding or action (a “Proceeding”), whether civil or criminal, in which any Indemnitee may become involved, as a party or otherwise, or with which any Indemnitee may be threatened, relating to or arising out of the investments or other activities of the Fund, activities undertaken in connection with the Fund, or otherwise relating to or arising out of this Agreement, including amounts paid in compromise or settlement approved by the Managing Members, and attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation for or defense or disposition of any Proceeding (all of such Losses, amounts and expenses referred to in this Section 11.3 are referred to collectively as “Damages”), except to the extent that (i) it shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable judgment, or there has been an admission by such Indemnitee in a settlement or proceeding, that such Damages arose primarily from Disabling Conduct of such Indemnitee, (ii) such Damages consist of economic losses incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnitee’s ownership of Units or an interest in any Portfolio Investment or (iii) such Damages are expenses of the Fund that an Indemnitee has agreed to bear. The termination of any Proceeding by settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that any Damages relating to such settlement or otherwise relating to such Proceeding arose primarily from Disabling Conduct of any Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.3(a) to the contrary, no indemnification under this Section 11.3(a) shall apply to any Damages incurred by any Related Person, or any of their respective employees, partners or members (collectively, the “SCP Persons”), against any other SCP Person. The Investment Manager hereby undertakes that any Indemnitee that is a third party agent or other representative of the Investment Manager or the Fund shall be reasonably selected by the Investment Manager.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if an Indemnitee may be entitled to be indemnified by a portfolio company in which the Fund has invested for any liabilities or other losses as to which such Indemnitee also would be entitled to be indemnified by the Fund pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.3 (or by any Affiliate of the Fund): (i) it is intended that such portfolio company shall be the full indemnitor of first resort for any such liabilities or other losses; (ii) any amount that the Fund (or such Affiliate) is otherwise obligated to pay with respect to indemnification or advancement for such

liabilities or losses will be reduced by the amount such Indemnitee receives in respect of such indemnification or advancement from such portfolio company; (iii) the Indemnitee will not be required first to exhaust rights or remedies with respect to indemnification or advancement provided by such portfolio company before the Fund (or such Affiliate) makes any payment to such Indemnitee; (iv) if the portfolio company does not pay such indemnification or advancement to or on behalf of the Indemnitee for any reason, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to pursue any rights to advancement or indemnification hereunder (subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Section 11.3); and (v) if the Fund (or such Affiliate) indemnifies, or advances payment for expenses, to such Indemnitee with respect to such liabilities or losses, and such Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses from such portfolio company, the Fund (or such Affiliate) may request that such Indemnitee agree with the Fund (or such Affiliate) that (A) the Fund (or such Affiliate) will be fully subrogated to all rights of such Indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of expenses from such portfolio company with respect to such payment; (B) such Indemnitee will assign to the Fund (or such Affiliate) all of the Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses from such portfolio company; and (C) such Indemnitee will execute all documents and take all other actions appropriate to effectuate the foregoing clauses (A) and (B).

(b) Expenses. Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defense or settlement of any Proceeding that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder (other than in defense of a derivative action brought by at least the holders of a majority of the Units) may be advanced by the Fund to such Indemnitee prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable judgment that the Indemnitee was not entitled to be indemnified hereunder. All judgments against the Fund and the Investment Manager, in respect of which the Investment Manager is entitled to indemnification, shall first be satisfied from the assets belonging to the Fund, including Capital Commitments, before the Investment Manager, as the case may be, is responsible therefor.

(c) Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against the Fund, give notice to the Fund of the commencement of such Proceeding; provided that the failure of any Indemnitee to give such notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Fund of its obligations under this Section 11.3 except to the extent that the Fund is actually prejudiced by such failure to give such notice. If any such Proceeding is brought against an Indemnitee (other than a derivative suit in right of the Fund), the Fund will be entitled to participate therein and to assume the defense thereof to the extent that the Fund may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee. After notice from the Fund to such Indemnitee of the Fund’s election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the Fund will not be liable for expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof. The Fund will not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of such Proceeding that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect of such Proceeding and the related Losses.

(d) Survival of Protection. The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall continue to afford protection to each Indemnitee regardless of whether such Indemnitee remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Indemnitee became entitled to indemnification under this Section 11.3 and regardless of any subsequent amendment to this Agreement or termination of the Fund, and no amendment to this Agreement or termination of the Fund shall reduce or restrict the extent to which these indemnification provisions apply to actions taken or omissions made prior to the date of such amendment or termination.

(e) Reserves. If the Investment Manager determines that it is appropriate or necessary to do so, the Investment Manager may cause the Fund to establish reasonable reserves, escrow accounts or similar accounts to fund its obligations under this Section 11.3.

(f) Rights Cumulative. The right of any Indemnitee to the reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Fund under this Section 11.3 shall be cumulative with, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Indemnitee’s successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives.

(g) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnity provided for in Sections 11.3(a) and (b) and to which an Indemnitee is entitled is unavailable to such Indemnitee in respect of any Damages, then the Fund, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Damages in the proportion which the aggregate balances of all Capital Commitments of the Members, exclusive of the amount of the Indemnitee’s Capital Commitment (which, in the case of an Indemnitee which is not a Member, shall for this purpose mean the Investment Manager’s Capital Commitment) bears to the aggregate balances of all the Capital Commitments of the Members of the Fund (including the balance of the Indemnitee’s Capital Commitment), which contribution shall be treated as an expense of the Fund.

(h) Recovery from Third Parties. Whenever the Fund has an obligation to provide indemnification under this Section 11.3 and the subject Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification with respect to the same matter from any third party, whether through insurance, pursuant to contract or otherwise, the Investment Manager shall be subrogated to such indemnity and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery from such third party indemnitor.

(i) Derivative Action. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Member may initiate, assert or maintain any derivative action or claim on behalf of, or seeking relief for, the Fund without first obtaining the affirmative consent of at least the holders of a majority of the Units.

(j) Direct Claim. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Member may initiate, assert or maintain any direct claim for damages or other monetary relief against the Fund, the Investment Manager, or any of their respective Affiliates on behalf of, or seeking relief for, any other Member, whether in the form of a purported class action or otherwise.

(k) Granting of Indemnities. The Investment Manager may grant indemnities to affiliated and non-affiliated parties (including the Administrative Coordinator, the Custodian, the Investment Manager and any consultants, agents, Service Providers or transaction counterparties of the Fund and/or any SPVs) in connection with the Fund’s organization, investment program, ongoing operations and dissolution, and may enter into agreements in connection therewith.

(l) Insurance. The Fund may maintain, at the expense of the Fund, (i) insurance policies for the protection of any Indemnitee or potential Indemnitee against any liability incurred in any capacity which results in such Person being an Indemnitee (provided that such Person is serving in such capacity at the request of the Fund or the Board), to the extent such policies are consistent with the Investment Manager’s customary practice in maintaining insurance for its other registered investment vehicles advised by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates and (ii) one or more fidelity bonds that meet the requirements of the Investment Company Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the Fund will not bear the cost of insurance and/or fidelity bonds that are extraordinary for similarly situated BDCs.

The Fund will not withdraw its election to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act without the required majority (as defined by the Investment Company Act) of Members; provided, however, that by signing the Subscription Agreement, each Member is providing the approval required by Section 58 of the Investment Company Act to effectuate the withdrawal of the Fund’s election to be regulated as a business development company pursuant to Section 54 of the Investment Company Act concurrently with the liquidation or dissolution of the Fund, as provided in this Article XII.

SECTION 11.3. Winding-Up.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Dissolution, the Fund shall be dissolved, whereupon the Investment Manager or a liquidator or other representative appointed by the holders of a majority of the Units (the Investment Manager or such liquidator or other representative, the “Liquidation Representative”) shall proceed with the sale or liquidation of all of the assets belonging to the Fund and shall apply and distribute the proceeds of such sale or liquidation in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law:

(a) first, to creditors, including any Member that is a creditor, in satisfaction of the Fund’s liabilities (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof), in accordance with Section 18-804(a)(1) of the Delaware Act; and

(b) second, after the payment (or the provision for payment) of all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Fund in accordance with clause (a) above, to the Members in accordance with Section 6.2.

SECTION 11.4. Distributions In Kind on a Winding-Up.

(a) Upon dissolution, the Liquidation Representative may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine that a sale or liquidation of part or all of the assets of the Fund would cause undue loss to the Fund or otherwise be impractical or unwise. In such event, the Liquidation Representative shall (i) use its best efforts to liquidate such portion of the Fund assets as will suffice to meet the obligations of the Fund set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 12.3 and (ii) hire independent appraisers of national standing to appraise the value of Fund assets not sold or liquidated (the cost of such appraisal to be considered a Fund Expense) and determine the Fair Value of such assets and distribute said assets in the manner set forth in Section 12.3.

(b) The Liquidation Representative may cause certificates evidencing any Securities to be distributed to be imprinted with legends as to such restrictions on transfer that it may deem necessary or appropriate, including legends as to applicable U.S. federal, state or foreign securities laws or other legal or contractual restrictions, and may require any Member to which Securities are to be distributed to agree in writing (i) that such Securities will not be transferred except in compliance with such restrictions and (ii) to such other matters as the Liquidation Representative may deem necessary or appropriate.

(c) If a Member shall, upon the advice of counsel, determine that there is a reasonable likelihood that any distribution in kind of an asset would cause such Member to be in violation of any Applicable Law, such Member and the Investment Manager shall each use its best efforts to make alternative arrangements for the sale or transfer into an escrow account of any such distribution on mutually agreeable terms.

SECTION 11.5. Time for Liquidation.

A reasonable amount of time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets belonging to the Fund and the discharge of liabilities to creditors of the Fund so as to enable the Liquidation Representative to minimize the losses attendant upon such liquidation.

SECTION 11.6. Dissolution.

Upon dissolution of the Fund, the Fund shall wind up the affairs of the Fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Delaware Act. The Liquidation Representative shall execute, acknowledge and cause to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of cancellation of the Fund pursuant to the power of attorney contained in Section 15.11. The provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during the period of winding up and (subject to Section 15.20) until the filing of such certificate of cancellation of the Fund with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

(b) Trade Secrets, Etc. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Investment Manager shall have the right to keep confidential from the Members for such period of time as the Investment Manager shall determine is reasonable (i) any information that the Investment Manager reasonably believes to be in the nature of trade secrets and (ii) any other information (x) the disclosure of which the Investment Manager in good faith believes is not in the best interest of the Fund or could damage the Fund or any of its investments, (y) that the Investment Manager and the Fund is required by law or by any agreement with a third Person to keep confidential or (z) regarding a Portfolio Investment where the Investment Manager reasonably believes a conflict of interest between such Member and such Portfolio Investment exists or may exist.

If, pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Investment Manager does not provide an individual Member with certain information, then the Investment Manager shall promptly provide such Member with notice of such action.

(i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Private Placement Memorandum, the Access Fund may disclose in its information statements and/or reports given to its affiliates and Access Fund LPs (and to such Access Fund LPs’ advisers) the name and strategy of the Fund, the general region(s) and industry focus of the Fund, the name and domicile of the Fund and the Investment Manager, the name of the Key Person(s), amount of distributions received from the Fund, the size of the Access Fund’s commitment to the Fund, the date on which the Access Fund made its commitment to the Fund and amount of aggregate Fund commitments as of such date, the amount of contributions made to the Fund, the amount of the Fund’s unfunded capital, the Fund’s value, the Fund’s internal rate of return, the Fund’s return on investment, the name and a brief description of the Fund’s portfolio companies (including name, strategy, industry, region, and vintage year), the number of portfolio companies in which the Fund has invested, and the performance of the Fund’s portfolio companies (investment date, realization date, total cost, remaining value, total value and TVPI (total value over cost)).

The Access Fund and/or any of its affiliates may include the Fund’s/Investment Manager’s logo in their marketing materials for the sole purpose of indicating that the Access Fund has made an investment in the Fund/the Investment Manager’s fund.

(ii) The Fund and the Managing Members agree that, except as required by law, rule or regulation or otherwise required by a governmental agency or regulatory body, (i) the Access Fund shall not be required to divulge to the Managing Members or any other person the identity of any Access Fund LP or prospective Access Fund LP, whether invested directly or indirectly through other entities or otherwise (ii) the Access Fund shall be permitted to redact any document required to be delivered to the Managing Members for this purpose, and (iii) Access Fund LPs shall not be required to complete separate investor questionnaires for the Fund and the Access Fund shall not have any obligation to disclose to the Managing Members the identity of any actual or prospective Access Fund LP (or information that could be used to discover the identity of any actual or prospective Access Fund LP).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event disclosure of Access Fund LPs’ identity is necessary for the Fund’s compliance

with any disclosure required by a tax or governmental authority, the Access Fund will be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to disclose identities of its investors if they provide such information directly to the appropriate tax or governmental authority, so long as the provision of the information by the Access Fund (rather than the Fund) satisfies the Fund’s obligation to the applicable tax or governmental authority.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, this Agreement, the Subscription Agreement or other operating documents of the Fund, the Fund and the Managing Members agree that none of the Fund, the Managing Members, and their respective Affiliates or any partner or employee of such parties will, without the prior written consent of the Access Fund LPs, (i) use in advertising, publicity, or otherwise (other than Form D filings or other regulatory filings for the Fund) the name of the Access Fund’s general partner, or any partner or employee of such parties, nor any trade name, trademark, trade device, service xxxx, symbol or any abbreviation, contraction or simulation thereof owned by the Access Fund’s general partner, or (ii) represent, directly or indirectly, that any product or any service provided by the Investment Manager has been approved or endorsed by the Access Fund’s general partner.

SECTION 14.21. Cyber Security. Each of the Fund and the Investment Manager represents and warrants that it has administrative, technical and physical safeguards in place that comply with all laws and regulations applicable to the Fund and the Investment Manager and meet or exceed the information security standards and practices that are commonly utilized by similarly sized managers in the asset management industry. In the event that the Fund or the Investment Manager become aware of any actual or suspected network, system and/or data breach with respect to its infrastructure (including, but not limited to, a system intrusion, virus or malicious code attack, loss of data, data theft, unauthorized access to confidential information and/or nonpublic personal information, hacking incident or any acts of data xxxxxx) that results in unauthorized access to and/or use by third parties of the confidential information of Members (the “Breach”), the Fund and Investment Manager agree to report the Breach to the Members immediately and take appropriate steps to contain or mitigate the Breach.

The provisions of Section 9.1, Article XI and Article XV shall remain in effect after the dissolution, winding-up and liquidation of the Fund and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 14.23. Counsel to the Fund.

Counsel to the Investment Manager may also be counsel to the Fund or any Affiliate of the Fund. The Investment Manager may execute on behalf of the Fund and the Members any consent to the representation of the Investment Manager that counsel may request pursuant to the applicable rules of professional conduct in any jurisdiction (the “Rules”). The Fund has initially selected Eversheds Xxxxxxxxxx (US) LLP and Akin Gump Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Xxxx LLP as legal counsel to the Fund (together with any additional or different legal counsel that the Fund may from time to time engage as legal counsel to the Fund, the “Fund Counsel”). Each Member acknowledges that the Fund Counsel does not represent any Member with respect to the Fund in the absence of a clear and explicit agreement to such effect between the Member and the Fund Counsel (and then only to the extent specifically set forth in that agreement), and that in the absence of any such agreement the Fund Counsel shall owe no duties to a Member with respect to the Fund. In the event any dispute or controversy arises between the Fund (or an Affiliate of the Fund) and any Member that the Fund Counsel represents, then each Member agrees that the Fund Counsel shall represent the Fund (or such Affiliate of the Fund) in any such dispute or controversy to the extent permitted by the Rules, and each Member hereby consents to such representation.
