(i) CSCM appointed ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, an interested director, to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “CSCM non-Independent Director”) until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify or until his earlier resignation, removal from office, death or incapacity; provided, however, Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors shall always be the CSCM non-Independent Director, and

(ii) LLSC appointed ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, an interested director, to serve as Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “LLSC non-Independent Director”), to serve until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify or until his earlier resignation, removal from office, death or incapacity; provided, however, Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors shall always be the LLSC non-Independent Director.

The total number of Directors shall never be fewer than the minimum number required by the Act and, as of the Effective Date, shall be five (5); except for a period of up to sixty (60) days after the death, removal resignation or incapacitation of a Director pending the appointment or election of such Director’s successor in accordance with the provisions Article V, and provided, further, however, that, as of the Effective Date and subject to this Section 5.2(a) and Section 5.2(d), at all times there shall be one more Independent Director than non-Independent Directors.

(b) The names and addresses of the Directors who shall serve on the Board of Directors are set forth in the books and records of the Company.

(e) The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III, as nearly equal in number as possible, and the term of office of Directors of one class shall expire at each annual meeting of Members, and in all cases as to each Director such term shall extend until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify or until his or earlier resignation, removal from office, death or incapacity. Additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of Directors shall be apportioned among the classes as equally as possible. Class I initially shall consist of one Independent Director, Class II initially shall consist of one Independent Director and one non-Independent Director, and Class III initially shall consist of one Independent Director and one non-Independent Director.

Each Director may be reelected to an unlimited number of succeeding terms in accordance with these provisions. At each annual election, Directors chosen to succeed those whose terms then expire shall be of the same class as the Directors they succeed, unless by reason of any intervening changes in the authorized number of Directors, the Board of Directors shall designate one or more directorships whose term then expires as directorships of another class in order to more nearly achieve equality of number of Directors among the classes. Notwithstanding the rule that the three classes shall be as nearly equal in number of Directors as possible, in the event of any change in the authorized number of Directors, each Director then continuing to serve as such shall nevertheless continue as a Director of the class of which such Director is a member until the expiration of his or her current term, or his or her prior failure to stand for re-election, death, resignation, removal or incapacitation. If any newly created directorship may, consistently with the rule that the three classes shall be as nearly equal in number of Directors as possible, be allocated to any class, the Board of Directors shall allocate it to that of the available class whose term of office is due to expire at the earliest date following such allocation.

Only the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Company or such other committee with similar responsibilities shall have the right to object to any CSCM Nominee or LLSC Nominee.

- 37 -

Section 9.2 Distributions.

(a) From time to time and not less than monthly, the Board of Directors shall review the Company’s accounts to determine whether the Company has available cash which is not necessary to retain and can be distributed to its Members. The Board of Directors shall cause the Company to set aside adequate reserves for normal replacements and contingencies (but not for the payment of fees payable to the Manager). The Company shall make Distributions to the Members pursuant to this Section 9.2(a) as follows:

(i) First, subject to the rights of any holders of Preferred Shares specified in any Share Designation, distributions shall be allocated among the Class A Shares, the Class T Shares, the Class I Shares, the Class D Shares, the Class S Shares and the Class FA Shares (as well as any subsequently authorized Class) pro rata in proportion to the outstanding shares of each Class, if any;

(ii) Second, the Distributions allocable to any given Class pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) shall be distributed among the respective holders of Shares of such Class pro rata based on their Percentage Interests of such Class (with (x) the amount of the Distribution Fee payable by the Company with respect to Class T Shares being deducted from the Distributions available to Class T Shares pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) and reserved by the Company for payment or paid by the Company to the Managing Dealer which amounts shall be deemed distributed to such holders of Class T Shares, (y) the amount of the Distribution Fee payable by the Company with respect to Class D Shares being deducted from the Distributions available to Class D Shares pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) and reserved by the Company for payment or paid by the Company to the Managing Dealer which amounts shall be deemed distributed to such holders of Class D Shares and (z) the amount of the Management Fee and Incentive Fee payable by the Company with respect to each Class of Shares being deducted from the Distributions available to each such Class of Shares pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) and reserved by the Company for payment or paid by the Company to the Manager).

Section 9.3 Allocation of Profit and Loss.

(a) For each Accounting Period of the Company, (i) after adjusting each Member's Capital Account for all special allocations pursuant to Section 9.3(b) and Section 9.4 and (ii) subject to the rights of any holders of Preferred Shares specified in any Share Designation, all Profits and Losses (other than Profits and Losses (or items thereof) specially allocated pursuant to Section 9.3(b) or Section 9.4) shall be allocated to the Members' Capital Accounts pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors may make such allocations as it deems necessary to give economic effect to Section 9.2 and Section 19.3(c)(v), taking into account facts and circumstances as the Board of Directors deems reasonably necessary for this purpose, including the timing and amounts of distributions pursuant to Section 9.2, if any.

(b) Distribution Fees, Management Fees and Incentive Fees shall be allocated to the Classes of Shares in accordance with how such fees are attributable to particular Classes of Shares as determined by the Board of Directors.

Section 9.4 Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.3:

(a) Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members, pro rata in proportion to the value of their respective interests in the Company, as determined by the Board of Directors. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any taxable year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of taxable income or gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g) (subject to the exceptions thereunder). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(6). This paragraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any taxable year, each Member that has a share of each Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated items of taxable income or gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable years) in an amount equal to that Member's share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (subject to the exceptions thereunder). Items to be allocated pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This paragraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) If any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of taxable income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit (determined according to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)) created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This paragraph is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirements in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

- 39 -

(d) No allocation of Loss shall be made pursuant to Section 9.3 to the extent that it causes or increases a deficit balance in any Member's Adjusted Capital Account. To the extent any allocation of Loss would cause the Adjusted Capital Account balance of any of the Members to have a deficit balance, such Loss shall be allocated to the Members with positive balances in their Adjusted Capital Accounts in proportion with such relative positive Adjusted Capital Account balances.

(e) The allocations set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704.

(f) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations.

Each Member hereby agrees to provide the Company with all information necessary to give effect to an election made under Section 754 of the Code if the Board of Directors determines to make such an election; provided, that the cost associated with such an election shall be borne by the Company as a whole. With respect to such election:

(i) Any change in the amount of the depreciation deducted by the Company and any change in the gain or loss of the Company, for federal income tax purposes, resulting from an adjustment pursuant to Section 743(b) of the Code shall be allocated entirely to the transferee of the Shares so transferred. Neither the Capital Contribution obligations of, nor the Membership Interest of, nor the amount of any cash distributions to, the Members shall be affected as a result of such election, and except as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the making of such election shall have no effect except for federal and (if applicable) state and local income tax purposes.

(ii) Solely for federal and, if applicable, state and local income tax purposes and not for the purpose of maintaining the Members' Capital Accounts (except as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)), the Company shall keep a written record for those assets, the bases of which are adjusted as a result of such election, and the amount at which such assets are carried on such record shall be debited (in the case of an increase in basis) or credited (in the case of a decrease in basis) by the amount of such basis adjustment. Any change in the amount of the depreciation deducted by the Company and any change in the gain or loss of the Company, for federal and (if applicable) state and local income tax purposes, attributable to the basis adjustment made as a result of such election shall be debited or credited, as the case may be, on such record.

- 40 -

(g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 9.4 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Profits and Losses among Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Profits and Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations (including Regulatory Allocations that, although not yet made, are expected to be made in the future) to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

Section 9.5 Amounts Withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to Section 9.11 from any distribution to a Member or otherwise withheld or paid with respect to a Member by the Company or withheld from any payment to the Company shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Member pursuant to Section 9.2 for all purposes under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if any amount required to be withheld or paid with respect to a Member is not associated with a distribution to or by the Company or there are insufficient distributable amounts to pay the withholding taxes with respect to such Member, the Board of Directors is authorized in its sole discretion to treat such amount (or balance, as applicable) as a loan, which loan shall bear interest at a rate reasonably determined by the Board of Directors if not repaid within ten (10) days of notice from the Company. Each Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any liability with respect to its allocable share of any taxes withheld pursuant to Section 9.11.

Section 9.6 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c).

(a) The income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses of the Company shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, the Company's subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses shall be allocated among the Members so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocations set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.

(b) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the time of contribution using any reasonable method (including the “Traditional Method”) provided for in the Treasury Regulations as selected by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

(c) If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 8.5, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c). Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Board of Directors in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intent of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 9.6 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or Distributions pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

- 41 -

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Agreement, the Board of Directors in its sole discretion shall make such allocations as may be needed to ensure that allocations are in accordance with the interests of the Members, within the meaning of the Code and Treasury Regulations. The Board of Directors shall determine all matters concerning allocations for tax purposes not expressly provided for herein in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the proper administration of the Company and for preservation of uniformity of Shares within a particular class or series (i.e., Class A Shares, Class T Shares, Class I Shares, Class D Shares, Class S Shares and Class FA Shares), the Board of Directors may (i) amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate (1) to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) or Section 704(c) of the Code or (2) otherwise to preserve or achieve uniformity of Shares within each respective class or series, and (ii) adopt and employ or modify such conventions and methods the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate for (1) the determination of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Company and the allocation of such items among Members and between transferors and transferees under this Agreement pursuant to the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, including without limitation adopting a monthly or weekly convention, (2) the determination of the identities and tax classifications of Members, (3) the valuation of the Company’s assets and the determination of tax basis, (4) the allocation of asset values and tax basis, (5) the adoption and maintenance of accounting methods, and (6) taking into account differences between the Book Values of the assets of the Company and adjusted tax basis pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

The Board of Directors shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all returns with respect to Company income, gains, deductions, losses and other items required of the Company for federal and state income tax purposes and shall use all reasonable effort to furnish the tax information reasonably required by Members for federal and state income tax reporting purposes pursuant to Section 12.3.

Section 9.8 Tax Elections. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Board of Directors shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine whether to make any available election pursuant to the Code.

Any Member who enters into a settlement agreement with the Internal Revenue Service with respect to Company items shall notify the Tax Matters Partner of such settlement agreement and its terms within thirty (30) days after the date of such settlement.

(c) The Tax Matters Partner shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the financial burden of any partnership adjustment to each Member and former Member that held Shares during the reviewed taxable year, through the application of the procedures established pursuant to Section 6225(c) of the Code, or through an election and the furnishing of statements pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code, in each case as applicable to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017.

(ii) to any Person if, in the opinion of counsel, such Assignment would result in the termination of the Company for federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that the Company may permit such Assignment to become effective if and when, in the opinion of counsel, such Assignment would no longer result in the termination of the Company for federal income tax purposes;

(iii) at all times prior to a Listing, to any Person if the Company determines that such transfer or Assignment would result in the Company being classified as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code;

The assignment agreement and Prospectus of the Company shall provide that the Assignor's management, if applicable, shall have fiduciary responsibility for the safekeeping and use of all funds and assets of the Assignees, whether or not in the Assignor management's possession or control, and that the management of the Assignor shall not employ, or permit another to employ, such funds or assets in any manner except for the exclusive benefit of the Assignees. In addition, the agreement shall not permit the Assignees to contract away the fiduciary duty owed to the Assignees by the Assignor's management under the common law of agency.

Failure or refusal of the Board of Directors to admit an Assignee as a Substitute Member shall in no way affect the right of such Assignee to receive distributions of cash and the share of the Profits or Losses for tax purposes to which his or her predecessor in interest would have been entitled in accordance with Section 8.

(a) No Member shall make any transfer or assignment of all or any part of his Membership Interest or Economic Interest if said transfer or assignment, when considered with all other transfers during the same applicable 12 month period, would, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, result in the termination of the Company's status as a partnership for federal or state income tax purposes.

(ii) The Indemnitee was acting on behalf of or performing services for the Company.

(iii) Such liability or loss was not the result of (A) negligence or misconduct in the case that the Indemnitee is a Director (other than an Independent Director), or a Manager or their respective Affiliates or (B) gross negligence or willful misconduct in the case the Indemnitee is an Independent Director.

(iv) Such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of the Company's assets and not from the Members.

Section 16.3 Indemnification.

(a) The Company may indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company), by reason of the fact that the Person is or was a Director, officer, employee, Tax Matters Partner or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if the Person acted in good faith and in a manner the Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the Person's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the Person's conduct was unlawful.

- 67 -

To the extent that a present or former Director or officer of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in this Section 16.3(a), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection therewith.

Each of the Persons entitled to be indemnified for expenses and liabilities as contemplated above may, in the performance of his, her or its duties, consult with legal counsel and accountants at the Company's expense, and any act or omission by such Person on behalf of the Company in furtherance of the interests of the Company in good faith in reliance upon, and in accordance with, the advice of such legal counsel or accountants will be full justification for any such act or omission, and such Person will be fully protected for such acts and omissions; provided, that such legal counsel or accountants were selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company.

(b) Any indemnification of a present or former Director, officer, employee or agent of the Company under Section 16.3(a) or (c) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former Director, officer, employee or agent of the Company is proper in the circumstances because the Person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 17.3(a) or pursuant to Section 16.3(c), as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a Person who is a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Company at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the Directors who are not parties to any such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (ii) by a committee of such Directors designated by a majority vote of such Directors, even though less than a quorum, (iii) if there are no such Directors, or if a majority, even though less than a quorum, of such Directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) by the Members. The indemnification, and the advancement of expenses incurred in defending an action, suit or proceeding prior to its final disposition, provided by or granted pursuant to this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, other provision of this Agreement, vote of Members or Independent Directors or otherwise. No repeal, modification or amendment of, or adoption of any provision inconsistent with, this Section 16.3, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any modification of law, shall adversely affect any right or protection of any Person granted pursuant hereto existing at, or with respect to any events that occurred prior to, the time of such repeal, amendment, adoption or modification. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Agreement shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a Person.

- 68 -

(c) The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and rights to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred in defending any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any Person who is or was an employee or agent of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (other than those Persons indemnified pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 16.3) and to any Person who is or was serving at the request of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors, officers, employees, and agents of the Company. The payment of any amount to any Person pursuant to this clause (c) shall subrogate the Company to any right such Person may have against any other Person.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Company in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Section 16.3.

With respect to any Person who is a present or former Director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, any undertaking required by this Section 16.3(d) shall be an unlimited general obligation but need not be secured and shall be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment; provided, however, that such present or former Director, officer, employee or agent of the Company does not transfer assets with the intent of avoiding such repayment.

(e) The indemnification and advancement provided in this Section 16.3 is intended to comply with the requirements of, and provide indemnification and advancement rights substantially similar to those that may be available to directors, officers, employees and agents of corporations incorporated under, the DGCL as it relates to the indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents of a Delaware corporation and, as such (except to the extent greater rights are expressly provided in this Agreement), the parties intend that they should be interpreted consistently with the provisions of, and jurisprudence regarding, the DGCL.

(f) Any notice, request or other communications required or permitted to be given to the Company under this Section 16.3 shall be in writing and either delivered in person or sent by electronic mail, overnight mail or courier service, or certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Secretary and shall be effective only upon receipt by the Secretary, as the case may be.

- 69 -

(g) To the fullest extent permitted by the law of the State of Delaware, each Director, officer, employee and agent of the Company agrees that all actions for the advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this Section 16.3 or under any vote of Members or Independent Directors or otherwise shall be a matter to which Section 18-111 of the Act shall apply and which shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware may summarily determine the Company's obligations to advance expenses (including attorneys' fees) under this Section 16.3.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in paragraphs (a) to (g) above, following the Commencement of the Initial Public Offering, the Company shall not provide indemnification to the Sponsor, a Manager, a Director or any of their Affiliates, or any Person acting as a broker-dealer for any loss, liability or expense arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged material securities law violations as to the Indemnitee, (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the Indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the Indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court of law considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which Securities were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

(i) The Company may not incur the cost of that portion of liability insurance which insures the Manager or its Affiliates for any liability as to which a Manager or its Affiliates is prohibited from being indemnified under this section.

(j) Following the Commencement of the Initial Public Offering, the advancement of Company funds to a Manager or its Affiliates for reasonable legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought is permissible only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) The legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company or its subsidiaries.

(ii) A Manager or its Affiliates undertake to repay the advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which the Manager or its Affiliates are found not to be entitled to indemnification.

(iii) The legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a Member, or the legal action is initiated by a Member and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement.

Section 16.4 Express Exculpatory Clauses in Instruments. Neither the Members nor the Directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company shall be liable under any written instrument creating an obligation of the Company by reason of their being Members, Directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company, and all Persons shall look solely to the Company's assets for the payment of any claim under or for the performance of that instrument. The omission of the foregoing exculpatory language from any instrument shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such instrument and shall not render any Member, Director, officer, employee or agent liable thereunder to any third party, nor shall the Directors or any officer, employee or agent of the Company be liable to anyone as a result of such omission.

(d) which includes provisions that would operate as a material impediment to, or frustration of, the accumulation of Shares by any purchaser of the securities of the Roll-Up Entity (except to the minimum extent necessary to preserve the tax status of the Roll-Up Entity), or which would limit the ability of a Member to exercise the voting rights of its securities of the Roll-Up Entity on the basis of the number of Shares held by that Member;

(e) in which the Member's rights to access of records of the Roll-Up Entity will be less than those provided for under Sections 12.1 and 12.2 herein; or

(f) in which any of the costs of the Roll-Up Transaction would be borne by the Company if the Roll-Up Transaction is not approved by the Members.
