All such items in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 4.2 shall be allocated first to Members who would not have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, pro rata in proportion to their Capital Account balances as adjusted in accordance with the definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.

Section 4.3 Tax Allocations. Except as provided in Section 4.5, for income tax purposes, Company income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or any item thereof) for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated to and among the Members in order to reflect the allocations made pursuant to the provisions of this Article 4 for such Fiscal Year (other than allocations of items that are not deductible or are excluded from taxable income).

Section 4.4 Special Allocations. Prior to any allocation of Net Profit or Net Loss pursuant to Section 4.1, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

4.4.1 Minimum Gain Chargeback. To the extent required by Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, if there is a net decrease in “partnership minimum gain” (within the meaning of Section 1.704-2(b)(2) of the Regulations) in a Fiscal Year, then each Member will be allocated items of income and gain that Fiscal Year, before any other allocation of Net Profit or Net Loss, equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in partnership minimum gain.

4.4.2 Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. If a Member suffers a net decrease in “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” (within the meaning of Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations) in any Fiscal Year, then that Member will be allocated items of income and gain to the extent required by Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations.

4.4.3 Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.4.3 shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.4.3 were not in the Agreement.

4.4.4 Nonrecourse Deductions. If there are any “nonrecourse deductions” (within the meaning of Sections 1.704-2(b)(1) and 1.704-2(c) of the Regulations) in a Fiscal Year, then such deductions shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in proportion to their relative aggregate Capital Contributions.

4.4.5 Member Nonrecourse Deductions. If there are any “partner nonrecourse deductions” (within the meaning of Section 1.704-2(i)(1) of the Regulations) in a Fiscal Year, then such deductions will be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss for the “partner nonrecourse liability” (within the meaning of Section 1.704-2(b)(4) of the Regulations) to which the deductions are attributable.

Section 4.5 704(c) Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any gain or loss and any depreciation and cost recovery deductions recognized by the Company for income tax purposes in any Fiscal Year with respect to all or any part of the Company’s property that is required or permitted to be allocated among the Members in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and any Regulations promulgated thereunder so as to take into account the variation, if any, between the adjusted tax basis of such property and the initial fair market value of such property at the time of its contribution to the Company shall be allocated to the Members for income tax purposes pursuant to the “traditional method” as defined in Section 1.704-3(b) of the Regulations. If and when the Capital Accounts of the Members are required to be adjusted pursuant to Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) or (g) of the Regulations with respect to a revaluation of any asset of the Company, then subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction, including depreciation or deductions for cost recovery with respect to such asset, shall take into account any variation between the then existing adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and the agreed value of such asset, as such computations may be required under Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code and Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i). Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion.

If the Company withholds or incurs any obligation to pay to any Taxing Authority any amount in respect of any Tax imposed on allocation or distributions made to any Member or former Member (“Withholding Advances”), any Withholding Advances so required to be withheld or paid by the Company with respect to such Person shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as if such amounts had been distributed to such Person pursuant to Section 4.6 at the time of such Withholding Advance, and the Board shall cause the Company to give prompt written notice to such Person of the date and amount of such deemed distribution. Any Withholding Advances shall be withheld at the maximum applicable statutory rate under the applicable tax law unless the Board shall have received an opinion of counsel or other evidence, satisfactory to the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, to the effect that a lower rate is applicable or that no withholding is applicable.

4.7.2 Repayment of Withholding. Any Withholding Advance made by the Company to a Taxing Authority on behalf of a Member that is not used to offset the amount of a distribution to that Member shall:

(a) be promptly repaid to the Company by the Member on whose behalf the Withholding Advance was made (which repayment by the Member shall not constitute a Capital Contribution, but shall credit the Member’s Capital Account if the Board shall have initially charged the amount of the Withholding Advance to the Capital Account); or

(b) with the consent of the Board, be repaid by reducing the amount of the next succeeding distribution or distributions to be made to such Member (which reduction amount shall be deemed to have been distributed to the Member, but which shall not further reduce the Member’s Capital Account if the Board shall have initially charged the amount of the Withholding Advance to the Capital Account).

4.7.3 Indemnification. Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from and against any liability with respect to Taxes, interest or penalties which may be asserted by reason of the Company’s failure to deduct and withhold Tax on amounts distributable or allocable to such Member. The provisions of this Section 4.7.3 and the obligations of a Member pursuant to Section 4.7.2 shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company and the withdrawal of such Member from the Company or transfer of all or a portion of its Units. The Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Member under this Section 4.7.3, including bringing a lawsuit to collect repayment with interest of any Withholding Advances.

4.7.4 Overwithholding. Neither the Company, the Board, the Managers nor the members of any committee established by the Board shall be liable for any excess Taxes withheld in respect of any distribution or allocation of income or gain to a Member. In the event of an overwithholding, a Member’s sole recourse shall be to apply for a refund from the appropriate Taxing Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4.7.4 shall prevent the Board from making such correction to any overwithholding as deemed appropriate in its sole discretion.

Section 4.8 Tax Distributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Article 4 and subject to Section 4.9, to the extent such funds are legally available for distribution the total distributions to a Member for each Fiscal Year (and the 90-day period following such Fiscal Year) shall not be less than such Member’s Tax Liability Amount, and such distributions will be made on a quarterly basis. Any amount distributed pursuant to this Section 4.8 shall be treated as an advance against future distributions, and to the extent that such minimum distributions requirement increases the amount of distributions beyond the amount to which a Member would be entitled in the absence thereof, the excess portion shall be considered a prepayment of future distributions allocable to such Member; provided that adjustments to any such future distributions to that Member shall not decrease such Member’s aggregate distributions below an amount necessary to meet the Tax Liability Amount for such Member for subsequent Fiscal Years.

Section 4.9 Prohibited Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no distribution shall be made to any Member if, and to the extent that, such distribution would not be permitted under the Act or other applicable law.

Although each of FNHC, Crosswinds and TransRe acknowledges and agrees that each party’s reporting obligations are its alone, each agrees to use reasonable efforts to ensure that all descriptions of the Company’s results, business and operations are consistent to the extent possible under applicable law. Any copies of reports provided pursuant to this Section are confidential and shall be maintained as such in accordance with Section 12.14 hereof.

ARTICLE 6

MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY

Section 6.1 Management of the Company.

6.1.1 Management of the Company by Board. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Business, property and affairs of the Company shall be managed and all powers of the Company shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board.

6.1.2 Designation of Managers.

(a) Number and Election of Managers. The number of Managers constituting the Board shall be fixed at six for the six month period following the Effective Date. The Board initially shall consist of three natural Persons appointed by Crosswinds (the “Crosswinds Designees”), and three natural Persons appointed by FNHC (the “FNHC Designees”). No later than six months from the Effective Date, Crosswinds and FNHC will agree upon one natural Person who is not a director or officer of Crosswinds or FNHC or their Affiliates, and who has not acted in such capacity within the prior five years, to act as the seventh Manager (the “Independent Designee”). The Members hereby agree that the initial Board will consist of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, who will act as the Crosswinds Designees; and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. Prygelski, III, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, who will act as the FNHC Designees. Crosswinds and FNHC shall each retain the right to appoint the number of Manager designees set forth in this Section 6.1.2(a), subject to the termination of such rights set forth in Section 6.1.2(b). The initial term for each Manager shall be for two years beginning on the Effective Date (and beginning on the date of appointment for the Independent Designee), and the Managers shall continue to be elected to two-year terms thereafter; but, in the event Crosswinds and FNHC cannot agree on a new Independent Designee at the end of an Independent Designee’s term, then such Independent Designee’s term on the Board will be extended for a further two years. Each Manager shall serve until the earlier of (i) the appointment of such Manager’s successor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the removal of such Manager in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (iii) such Manager’s resignation, and (iv) such Manager’s death or Disability. A Manager may, but need not be, a Member.

(b) Loss of Designation Right. Each of Crosswinds’ and FNHC’s right to designate, appoint and remove Manager(s), including the Independent Designee, shall terminate at such time as their Ownership Percentage falls below the Minimum Control Threshold Amount for such Member. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event either of Crosswinds’ or FNHC’s Ownership Percentage falls below the Minimum Control Threshold Amount applicable to such Member, then the Managers appointed by the Member whose Ownership Percentage falls below the Minimum Control Threshold Amount applicable to such Member may be removed at such time by the Member still possessing an Ownership Percentage equal to or greater than the Minimum Control Threshold Amount applicable to such Member; and such Member may appoint the successors of such removed Managers.

(c) Resignation. Any Manager may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Members and the remaining Managers. The resignation of any Manager shall take effect upon receipt of that notice or at such later time as shall be specified in the notice. Unless otherwise specified in the notice, the acceptance of the resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Upon the resignation of any Manager, but subject to Section 6.1.2(b), the Member who appointed such resigning Manager may appoint a successor. In the event of the Independent Designee’s resignation, Crosswinds and FNHC will mutually agree upon a replacement for the Independent Designee within six months of notice of such resignation; but in the interim, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will be deemed appointed as joint Chairpersons without further action required by the Board.

(d) Disability. A Manager may be removed by the Board upon the determination of the Board of such Manager’s Disability. The determination of Disability of a Manager is to be made in good faith by the Board, with such determination being binding on the Manager and may be set aside by a court or arbitrator only on a showing of bad faith of the Board by clear and convincing evidence. Upon the removal of a Manager for Disability, but subject to Section 6.1.2(b), the Member who appointed such Disabled Manager may appoint a successor. In the event of the Independent Designee’s resignation, Crosswinds and FNHC will mutually agree upon a replacement for the Independent Designee.

(e) Removal. Subject to Section 6.1.2(b), any Manager may be removed at any time and with or without cause only by the Member who appointed such Manager. Upon the removal of any Manager, the Member who appointed such removed Manager may appoint a successor. Crosswinds and FNHC may mutually agree in writing to remove the Independent Designee on the condition that they have first identified a Person to replace the Independent Designee as Manager.

(f) Vacancies. Upon the vacancy of any Manager for any reason, but subject to Section 6.1.2(b), the Member(s) who appointed the Manager whose position has been vacated may appoint a successor.

(g) Failure to Designate. In the event any Member entitled to designate a Manager pursuant to this Agreement chooses not to designate a Manager (i) such Manager position(s) shall remain vacant, (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the case of Crosswinds, the existing Crosswinds Designee(s) shall have the right to cast votes or grant consents for three Managers even if there are less than three Crosswinds Designees, and in the case of FNHC, the existing FNHC Designee(s) shall have the right to cast votes or grant consents for three Managers even if there are less than three FNHC Designees.

(h) Absence of Controlling Members. In the event that no Member has an Ownership Percentage meeting the Minimum Control Threshold Amount, the Managers may be selected by the vote of the majority of the Ownership Percentage of the Class A Members.

(i) Member Actions. Subject to Section 6.1.2(a), each of the Members and the Company shall take all action within their respective power (including having their Interest in the Company represented in person or by proxy at all meetings of the Members, voting their Interest, acting by written consent, and using all reasonable efforts to cause any Manager designated by such Member, if any, not to take any action inconsistent with this Agreement) required to cause the Board at all times to consist of the number of Managers set forth in this Section 6.1.2 and to elect the Crosswinds Designees and the FNHC Designees, if any.

(j) Chairperson of the Board.

(i) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will act as joint Chairpersons of the Board of Managers (the “Chairpersons”), until the appointment of the Independent Designee in accordance with Section 6.1.2(a), upon which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will be deemed to have resigned as Chairpersons and the Independent Designee will be deemed appointed as Chairperson without further action required by the Board.

(ii) The Chairperson(s) shall preside at all meetings of the Board.

(k) Compensation of Managers.

(i) The Company shall compensate the Independent Designee for such Manager’s service to the Company in such amount as shall be set forth in the Annual Budget. The compensation of the initial Independent Designee shall be agreed upon by Crosswinds and FNHC and shall be ratified at the first meeting of the Managers after the Effective Date.

(ii) Any Manager who is not an executive officer of either Crosswinds or FNHC may be compensated by the Company for such Manager’s service to the Company if and in such amount as the Board so determines.

6.1.3 Meetings of the Board.

(a) Notice and Call of Meetings. Meetings of the Board may be called by any Manager. All meetings shall be held upon at least five Business Days written notice, accompanied by the proposed agenda for such meeting (with confirmed receipt). Notice of a meeting need not be given to any Manager who signs a waiver of notice or a consent to holding the meeting (which waiver or consent need not specify the purpose of the meeting) or an approval of the minutes thereof, whether before or after the meeting, or who attends the meeting, except when such Manager attends for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. All such waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed with the Company records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

(b) Place. Meetings of the Board will be held at the offices of FNHC or such other place within or without the State of Delaware that has been designated in the notice of the meeting as may be approved by the Board; and meetings of the Board may be held via teleconference.

(c) Quorum. The presence of Managers sufficient to approve a matter pursuant to this Agreement constitutes a quorum of the Board for the transaction of business with respect to such matter. Managers may participate in a meeting through use of conference telephone, electronic video screen communication, or other communications equipment, so long as all Managers participating in such meeting can hear one another. Participation in a meeting in such manner constitutes a presence in person at such meeting.

(d) First Meeting; Annual Meetings. As soon as practicable, and in no event later than two weeks following the Effective Date, the Board will hold its first meeting. Meetings of the Board must be held at least once annually.

6.1.4 Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board may be taken by the Board without a meeting if such number of Managers sufficient to approve such action pursuant to the terms of this Agreement consent thereto in writing. Such action by written consent shall have the same force and effect as if taken at a meeting of the Board.

6.1.5 Reliance. The Board (without any Member Approval) is hereby authorized by all Members to designate any Manager to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Company, any and all documents, contracts, certificates, agreements, promissory notes, guarantees, mortgages, deeds, and instruments, and to take any action of any kind and to do anything and everything the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the business of the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and applicable law.

(b) Officers. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 6.2.4(a), the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, may, from time to time, designate one or more Persons to be officers of the Company (an “Officer”). The initial Officers of the Company shall be ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, Chief Executive Officer and President, and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. Prygelski, III, Chief Financial Officer. No Officer need be a resident of the State of Delaware or a Manager. Any Officers so designated shall have such authority and perform such duties as the Board may, from time to time, delegate to them. The Board may assign titles to particular Officers. Unless the Board decides otherwise, if the title 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 Officer of the authority and duties that are normally associated with that office, subject to any specific delegation of authority and duties made to such Officer by the Board pursuant to the third sentence of this Section 6.2.4(b). Each Officer shall hold office until his successor shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until his death or Disability or until he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided. The same Person may hold any number of offices.

(c) Resignation or Removal of Officers. Any Officer may resign as such at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the Board.

The Board may fill any vacancy occurring in any office of the Company.

6.2.5 No Limitation of Power. The expression of any power or authority of the Board in this Agreement shall not in any way limit or exclude any other power or authority permitted under the Act that is not specifically or expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Section 6.3 Liability for Conduct. No (a) Member (in such Member’s capacity as a Member), (b) Manager (in such Manager’s capacity as a Manager) or (c) officer, director, manager, partner, member, authorized person, employee, advisor and agent of the Company or any of its Affiliates (in their respective capacities as such), shall be personally liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company, any third party or to any Member for (a) any error of judgment, (b) any mistake of fact or of law, or (c) any action or omission taken or suffered in connection with the Company, unless, in any such case, a Final Determination is made that such Person is liable for a Culpable Act. Furthermore, no Member or Manager or any Affiliate, officer, director, manager, partner or employee thereof shall be personally liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company, any third party or to any Member for any act or omission of any agent, consultant or broker of the Company selected, engaged or retained by such Person in good faith.

Section 6.4 Indemnity of Officers and Managers.

6.4.1 Neither the Company nor any Member shall have any claim against any Manager or Officer by reason of any act or omission of such Manager or Officer of the Company (each a “Released Party”), provided that such act or omission did not involve a Culpable Act by such Released Party, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH ACT OR OMISSION CONSTITUTED THE SOLE, PARTIAL OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OF A RELEASED PARTY. Notwithstanding the above, a Released Party shall have no liability hereunder for failing to act if such act required the consent of some or all of the Members and the required consent to such action was not granted. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.4.1 or any provision in this Section 6.4.1 shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on a Released Party’s liability to the Company and the Members under this Section 6.4.1 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when claims relating to such matters may arise or be asserted.

6.4.2 The Company shall indemnify its employees, Officers and Managers and its Affiliates’ officers, managers and employees (each, an “Indemnified Party,” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts (each a “Claim”) arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of the Company as set forth in this Agreement in which an Indemnified Party may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise (a “Proceeding”), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ARISING FROM ANY ACT OR OMISSION WHICH CONSTITUTED THE SOLE, PARTIAL OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER ACTIVE OR PASSIVE) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY, unless it is established that: (a) the act or omission of such Indemnified Party was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (b) such Indemnified Party actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; (c) such Indemnified Party did not reasonably believe that it was acting in the best interests of the Company; or (d) in the case of any criminal Proceeding, such Indemnified Party had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that an Indemnified Party did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 6.4.2. The termination of any Proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that an Indemnified Party acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section 6.4.2. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be made only out of the assets of the Company.

6.4.3 The Company shall reimburse such Indemnified Party on a monthly basis for reasonable expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party who is a party to a Proceeding in advance of the Final Determination of the Proceeding upon receipt by the Company of a written affirmation by such Indemnified Party of such Indemnified Party’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company as authorized in this Section 6.4 has been met; provided that such Indemnified Party provides the Company with a written undertaking to repay to the Company all amounts that have been reimbursed to such Indemnified Party by the Company in the event such Indemnified Party has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to not be entitled to indemnification under Section 6.4.2.

6.4.4 The Company shall indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against all Claims arising from or related to appearing as a witness, or other participation, in a Proceeding that involves, relates to, or affects the Company.

6.4.5 The indemnification provided by Section 6.4 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnified Party may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law or otherwise.

6.4.6 The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its Managers, an Officer or an employee, as the Board shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by a Manager, an Officer or an employee in connection with the Company’s activities, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify a Manager, an Officer or an employee against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement; and the Company shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and other insurance in such amounts and with such coverage as are appropriate and typical for a company operating in the Company’s industry.

6.4.7 In no event may any Indemnified Party subject the Members to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

6.4.8 No Indemnified Party shall be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 6.4 because such Indemnified Party had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was appropriately approved and otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

6.4.9 The provisions of this Section 6.4 are for the benefit of any Indemnified Party and their respective successors and assigns and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

If a Class B Member wishes to purchase less than all of the Class B Units, such notice shall so state and shall expressly state the maximum number of Class B Units that such Class B Member is willing to purchase. If a Class B Member gives such written notice within the Class B Participation Rights Notice Period, it shall be bound to purchase such Class B Units on the same terms and pursuant to the same conditions as the other purchasers of securities, if any, and it shall do all things necessary to consummate the transaction, including executing and delivering the same documentation that is to be executed and delivered by the other purchasers of such securities, at the same time as the other purchasers of such securities.

8.3.1 Disposition of Interests in Subsidiary Generally.

The Company shall have the first right for 10 days after it receives the Bankruptcy Notice from the Bankrupt Member to elect to purchase such Interest and if it notifies the Bankrupt Member and the Class A Members of its intent to do so within such 10 day period, it shall complete the purchase within 30 days of its receipt of the Bankruptcy Notice. In the event the Company fails to give timely notice of its intent to purchase such Interest of the Bankrupt Stockholder, or fails to complete such purchase timely, the Class A Members may purchase such Interest.

In the event that the Company and the Class A Members do not elect to purchase all of such Interest of the Bankrupt Member, the Bankrupt Member (or its legal representative) may proceed to distribute the remaining portion of such Bankrupt Member’s Interest to the successors in interest entitled to receive the same as a result of the Bankrupt Member’s Bankruptcy, so long as (a) such successors in interest provide the Board such documentation as requested by the Board to evidence the rightful ownership interest of that Interest, and (b) the successors in interest execute and deliver a written agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Board, that states that the successor in interest is an “Assignee” of that Interest, and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 8.5 Change of Control Call Right.

8.5.1 Within the later of (i) 90 days following the occurrence of a Change of Control, and (ii) 30 days following the determination of Fair Market Value pursuant to Section 8.8 (pursuant to which the COC Exercising Member will be designated as the “Purchaser” and the COC Selling Member will be designated as the “Seller”), the COC Exercising Member shall have the right and option to purchase (a “Call Right”) all, and not less than all, of the Units owned by the COC Selling Member (such Units, the “Call Units”) in the manner, for the price and on the terms and conditions contained in Section 8.5 and set forth in the written notice of such exercise (the “Call Option Notice”) to the COC Exercising Member.

8.5.2 The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of any Unit pursuant to the exercise of a Call Right shall be, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8.5.5, set forth in the Call Option Notice.

8.5.3 The Purchase Price with respect to any Call Units purchased by the COC Exercising Member shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the COC Selling Member (or, in the event that the COC Selling Member shall fail to timely designate an account to receive such wire transfer, to an escrow account established pursuant to Section 8.5.5) promptly upon delivery of the documents reasonably required for the Closing under Section 8.5.4.

8.5.4 Any purchase of Units pursuant to Section 8.5 shall be consummated (the “Call Closing”) at the Company’s principal office at 10:00 a.m., prevailing business time, on the date (the “Call Closing Date”) which is the 120th day after the date of the Call Option Notice or such earlier date as Crosswinds and FNHC may agree upon; but, if any approval or waiting period of any Governmental Authority is required in connection with any such purchase, then such 120-day period shall be extended by the number of days necessary to satisfy such regulatory requirement plus two days, but in no event shall such period be extended by more than 60 days. If such date is not a Business Day, the Call Closing shall occur at the same time and place on, and the Call Closing Date shall be, the next succeeding Business Day. At the Call Closing, the COC Selling Member shall deliver to the COC Exercising Member duly executed written instruments of transfer of such Units to be sold by it in connection with the Call Right, in form and substance satisfactory to the COC Exercising Member, and such Units being free and clear of any Encumbrances, together with any documents reasonably required to be executed in connection with such sale.

8.5.5 In the event the COC Selling Member fails to designate an account to receive a wire transfer or fails to deliver such Units, in proper form for Transfer, on the Call Closing Date, the COC Exercising Member may elect to deposit the cash representing the Purchase Price (minus any escrow fees) with an escrow agent. From and after the deposit of such adjusted Purchase Price, such Units shall be deemed for all purposes (including the right to vote, receive payment of distributions and exercise rights under this Agreement) to have been transferred to the purchaser(s) thereof, and the Units registered in the name of the COC Selling Member shall be deemed to have been canceled and to represent solely a right to receive payment of the Purchase Price (minus any escrow fees), without interest, from the escrow account. If the proceeds of sale have not been claimed by the COC Selling Member (by delivery of duly executed written instruments of transfer of such Units, in proper form for transfer) prior to the fourth anniversary of the Call Closing Date, the escrow deposits, and all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to the COC Exercising Member, and the COC Selling Member shall look solely to the COC Exercising Member for payment of the Purchase Price. The escrow agent shall not be liable for any action or inaction taken by him in good faith.

8.5.6 Upon the delivery of the Call Option Notice, the COC Selling Member’s respective rights under Section 6.1.2 and Section 7.9 shall terminate; but, if the Call Closing shall not have occurred on or before the applicable Call Closing Date (other than due to a failure of the COC Selling Member to comply with its obligations under Section 8.5), then the COC Selling Member’s respective rights under Section 6.1.2 and Section 7.9 shall be reinstated.

Section 8.6 Tag-Along Rights.

8.6.1 General. If, subject to the terms of this Agreement, any or all of the Class A Members (whether one or more, the “Transferor”) propose to sell any Class A Units owned by such Transferor, to any Person other than an Affiliate of a Member or another Member (a “Proposed Purchaser”), then the Transferor will promptly provide the Class B Members written notice (a “Sale Notice”) of such proposed Transfer (a “Proposed Sale”) and the material terms of the Proposed Sale as of the date of such Sale Notice. Each Class B Member shall have the right to sell for a price per Class B Unit, determined in accordance with Section 8.8, up to the number of Class B Units equal to (a) the total number of Class B Units held by such Class B Member multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class A Units to be Transferred in the Proposed Sale and the denominator of which is the number of all Class A Units then outstanding. A Class B Member shall exercise its right to participate in the Proposed Sale by delivering the Transferor written notice within ten Business Days of the receipt of the Sale Notice (a “Sale Request”) that shall set forth the number of Class B Units the Class B Member desires to include in the Proposed Sale. If the Transferor has not received the Sale Request in the required time, the Class B Members shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its rights under this Section 8.6.1 with respect to such Proposed Sale, and the Transferor shall thereafter be free, for a period of 180 days from the date of the Sale Notice, to Sell the Class A Units specified in the Sale Notice upon the same terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Notice. Except as set forth in this Section 8.6, any Sale Request delivered by a Class B Member shall be irrevocable, and once received by the Transferor, such Class B Member shall be obligated to sell to the Proposed Purchaser its Class B Units in accordance with this Section 8.6.1, provided, that if the Proposed Sale shall not have occurred on or before the 120th day following the date of the Sale Notice (other than due to a failure of the Class B Member to comply with its obligations under Section 8.6), then the Sale Request shall be deemed revoked. In connection with the delivery of the Sale Request, the Class B Member shall deliver to the Transferor duly executed written instruments of transfer of such Class B Units, in form and substance satisfactory to the Transferor, to warrant that such Class B Units shall be surrendered free and clear of any Encumbrances, together with any other documents reasonably required to be executed in connection with such sale. If the Class B Member should fail to so deliver such documents to the Transferor, (i) the Transferor shall have the right to complete the Proposed Sale on the terms that would have applied had the Class B Member not provided the Sale Notice, and the Class B Member shall be deemed to have revoked its Sale Request and to have irrevocably waived its rights under this Section 8.6.1 with respect to such Proposed Sale or (ii), if the Transferor does not exercise its right set forth in clause (i) of this sentence, the Company shall cause its books and records to show that such Class B Units are bound by the provisions of this Section 8.6.1 and that such Class B Units shall be transferred to the Proposed Purchaser immediately upon surrender for transfer by the Class B Member; but, the foregoing shall not preclude the Transferor from seeking any remedy to which it may otherwise be entitled as a result of the Class B Member’s failure to so deliver such documents. The Transferor shall not consummate any Proposed Sale without compliance with this Section 8.6.1, and the Company shall not recognize or give effect to any purported transfer of Units not made in compliance with this Section 8.6.1. If there is more than one Transferor, the Transferor will designate, in the Sale Notice, one Person for notice purposes under this Section 8.6, and delivery of notice to such Person by the Class B Members will be as effective as if delivered to each Transferor; and the Class B Member ▇▇▇▇ rely upon such notice, and such notice shall be as effective, as if delivered to each Transferor.

8.6.2 Terms. Units subject to a Sale Request will be included in a Proposed Sale pursuant hereto and to any agreement with the Proposed Purchaser relating thereto, on the same terms and subject to the same conditions applicable to the Units which the Transferor propose to sell in the Proposed Sale. Such terms and conditions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Transferor, and shall include (i) the form of consideration and (ii) the provision of information, representations, warranties, covenants and requisite indemnifications; but, (x) if the terms set forth in such definitive documents differ in any material respect from the material terms set forth in the Sale Notice with respect to such Proposed Sale, then notwithstanding the delivery of a Sale Request with respect to such Proposed Sale, a Class B Member shall have the right to rescind such Sale Request by delivering written notice of such rescission to the Transferor within two Business Days of receipt of such definitive documents, and (y) any representations and warranties relating specifically to any Member shall only be made by that Member and any indemnification provided by such Member shall be on a several, not joint, basis and shall be based on the number of Units being sold by each Member in the Proposed Sale (determined on a fully diluted basis calculated using the treasury method). In addition, such Class B Member shall reimburse the Transferor for its proportionate share (based on consideration received) of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Transferor in connection with any such Proposed Sale.

Section 8.7 Drag-Along Rights.

8.7.1 General. If, subject to the terms of this Agreement, at any time any or all of the Class A Members, (whether one or more, the “Drag-Along Seller”) proposes to sell any Class A Units to any Person other than an Affiliate of a Member or another Member (the “Drag-Along Purchaser”) in an arm’s-length transaction (a “Drag-Along Sale”), the Drag-Along Seller may, at its option, require each, but not less than all, of the Class B Members (each, a “Drag-Along Member”) to sell in such transaction on the terms and conditions set forth below the number of Units (the “Drag-Along Units”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Units held by such Drag-Along Member by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class A Units that the Drag-Along Seller proposes to Transfer in the Drag-Along Sale and the denominator of which is the number of all Class A Units then outstanding.

8.7.2 Written Notice. The Drag-Along Seller shall provide written notice of such Drag-Along Sale to the other Members (a “Drag Notice”) and a draft of the agreement pursuant to which such Units are proposed to be transferred. The purchase price per Class B Unit included in the Drag-Along Sale shall be determined in accordance with Section 8.8. The Drag Notice shall state (i) the name and address of the Drag-Along Purchaser, (ii) the material terms and conditions (including price) of the contemplated sale and (iii) the expected closing date of the transaction. Each Member must participate in such Drag-Along Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in the Drag Notice.

8.7.3 Transfer of Interest. Within ten Business Days following the receipt of the Drag Notice, each Member shall deliver to the Drag-Along Seller, or their representative designated in the Drag Notice, if any, duly executed written instruments of transfer of such Member’s Drag-Along Units, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Drag-Along Seller, such Drag-Along Units to be free and clear of any Encumbrances, together with any other documents reasonably required to be executed in connection with such Drag-Along Sale. If any such Drag-Along Member should fail to deliver such documents to the Drag-Along Seller, the Company shall cause its books and records to show that such Drag-Along Units are subject to the provisions of this Section 8.7.3 and that such Drag-Along Units shall be transferred to the transferee identified in the Drag Notice immediately upon surrender for transfer by such Drag-Along Member.

8.7.4 Consummation of Sale. Promptly after the consummation of the Drag-Along Sale pursuant to Section 8.7, the Drag-Along Seller shall give notice thereof to the other Members, shall direct the purchaser to remit to each such Member who has surrendered its Drag-Along Units the total consideration for the Drag-Along Units, and, in any event, shall furnish such other evidence of the completion and time of completion of such Drag-Along Sale and the terms thereof as may be reasonably requested by such other Members. If within 180 days after the Drag-Along Seller give the Drag Notice, the Sale has not been completed, the Drag-Along Seller will, if applicable, return to each of the other Members any documents delivered for transfer pursuant hereto, together with any documents in their possession executed by the other Members in connection with such proposed transaction, and the Drag-Along Seller shall thereafter be required to re-comply with the provisions of Section 8.7 if they wish to require the other Members to sell Units in any transaction subject to Section 8.7.

8.7.5 Terms. Units subject to Section 8.7 will be included in a Proposed Sale pursuant hereto and be subject to any agreement with the Drag-Along Purchaser relating thereto, on the same terms (other than price per Unit) and subject to the same conditions applicable to the Units which the Drag-Along Seller propose to sell in such transaction. Such terms and conditions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Drag-Along Seller, and shall include (i) the form of consideration and (ii) the provision of information, representations, warranties, covenants and requisite indemnifications; but, any representations and warranties relating specifically to any Member shall only be made by that Member and any indemnification provided by the Members shall be on a several, not joint, basis and shall be based on the number of Units being Transferred by each Member in such transaction. In addition, each Drag-Along Member shall reimburse the Drag-Along Seller for their proportionate share (based on consideration received) of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Drag-Along Seller in connection with any such transaction.

Section 8.8 Sales Price and Terms of Sale. The sales price of each Interest or interest therein to be sold under this Article 8 shall be the Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of such Interest or interest therein. “Fair Market Value” shall mean the amount of distributions that would be received by the holder of the Interest or interest therein to be sold if 100% of the Interests or assets of the Company were sold for their fair market value as of the date of determination of the Fair Market Value and the Company were dissolved and its affairs wound up and distributions were made in accordance with Section 10.5. The Member whose Interest or interest therein is to be sold hereunder (the “Seller”) and the Person purchasing such Interest or interest therein (whether one or more, the “Purchaser”) shall attempt to agree on the Fair Market Value of the Interest or interest therein to be sold. If the Purchaser and the Seller are unable to agree on such Fair Market Value within 10 days after notice is given by the Purchaser or the Seller requesting such an agreement as to Fair Market Value (the date on which such notice is given being referred to herein as, the “Notice Date”), each of Purchaser and Seller will select an independent appraiser, and each such appraiser will estimate the Fair Market Value (each, an “FMV Estimate”). A third qualified independent appraiser (the “Binding Appraiser”) jointly appointed by the Purchaser and Seller will conduct its own appraisal and select one of FMV Estimates which the Binding Appraiser determines is most accurate, and such selection will be binding on the Parties. If the Purchaser and Seller fail to agree on the appointment of the Binding Appraiser, then the two initially selected independent appraisers will mutually agree on and appoint the Binding Appraiser. The Binding Appraiser will make its selection between FMV Estimates within 20 days of such appraiser’s appointment. The fees and expenses of the initial independent appraisers shall be borne by the Member appointing such appraiser, and the fees and expenses of the Binding Appraiser shall be borne equally by the Purchaser and the Seller. Fair Market Value shall be determined as of a date as near as reasonably practicable to the date of the occurrence of the event that results in the sale of the Interest or interest therein hereunder.

ARTICLE 9
ADDITIONAL MEMBER RIGHTS

Section 9.1 Company Valuation. Each Class A Member agrees that within 30 days after the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company shall appoint a qualified independent appraiser to determine the Fair Market Value of all Units (pursuant to which Crosswinds will be designated as the “Purchaser” and the FNHC will be designated as the “Seller”) (such valuation, the “4-Year Valuation”), and the costs and fees of such appraisal shall be borne by the Company. If the Board is unable to select a qualified independent appraiser, then such 4-Year Valuation will be determined pursuant to the appraisal procedures of Section 8.8, including the provisions regarding allocation of costs and expenses.

Section 9.2 Board Meeting to Determine Exit Strategy. Within 30 days following the determination of the 4-Year Valuation, the Board shall call a special meeting of the Board of the Company for the purpose of reaching a Supermajority of Managers on a proposed exit strategy, including a sale of the Company to a third-party, an initial public offering of Monarch National or Monarch National Holdings or such other transactions as may be proposed by the Board. Prior to such meeting and the determination of the exit strategy, the Class A Members shall (i) disclose the 4-Year Valuation to the Class B Members and (ii) provide the Class B Members the opportunity to submit recommendations for consideration by the Board at the special meeting.

Section 9.3 [Reserved].

Section 9.4 FNHC Right of First Offer. At any time within the 180-day period following the final determination of the 4-Year Valuation, upon the written request of Crosswinds to the Company (the “ROFO Notice”), each of the Members and the Company shall take all action within their respective power (including having all of their Interests represented in person or by proxy at all meetings of Members, voting their Interests, acting by written consent, and using all reasonable efforts to cause any Manager designated by such Member not to take any action inconsistent with this Agreement) required to cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to initiate a bona fide, arm’s-length transaction or series of transactions in order sell all of the equity interests in Monarch National Holdings or Monarch National, or all or substantially all of the businesses and assets of either (such transaction(s), the “ROFO Transaction”). FNHC shall have up to a period of 90 days (the “ROFO Option Period”) after the receipt of the ROFO Notice within which to provide Crosswinds with a Qualifying ROFO Offer. A “Qualifying ROFO Offer” means a bona fide firm written offer by FNHC to consummate the ROFO Transaction, which shall (a) be solely for cash, (b) set forth the material terms and conditions of such offer and the price (such price, the “ROFO Price”), and (c) by its terms be irrevocable within the ROFO Acceptance Period. Crosswinds shall have a period of up to 60 days (the “ROFO Acceptance Period”) after receipt of the Qualifying ROFO Offer within which to notify FNHC in writing that it wishes to accept or reject the Qualifying ROFO Offer. If Crosswinds accepts the Qualifying ROFO Offer, then the each of the Members and the Company shall take all action within their respective power to consummate the ROFO Transaction within 120 days of the expiration of the ROFO Acceptance Period and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Qualifying ROFO Offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if 120 days is not sufficient time to enable FNHC to obtain all necessary consents from any third party or Governmental Authority and enter into any necessary agreements and amendments of existing agreements, such 120 days will be extended for the period reasonably necessary to complete such actions, but not in excess of 60 additional days. If FNHC does not make a Qualifying ROFO Offer within the ROFO Option Period, or if, having made such offer, FNHC fails to consummate the transaction within the requisite 120 days (which may be extended pursuant to the previous sentence, but not beyond an additional 60 days) provided above or Crosswinds rejects the Qualifying ROFO Offer, Crosswinds shall be free to secure a bona fide offer for the ROFO Transaction from a third party (“Third Party Offer”) and, if Crosswinds accepts a Third Party Offer, then each of the Members and the Company shall take all action within their respective power to consummate the ROFO Transaction with such third party, provided that such ROFO Transaction is consummated within 12 months after the expiration of the ROFO Acceptance Period upon substantially the same terms and conditions (other than price, which may be higher, but, unless Crosswinds accepted the Qualifying ROFO Offer and FNHC failed to consummate the ROFO Transaction, may not be less than, the ROFO Price) as set forth in the Qualifying ROFO Offer, including consideration of cash.

Section 9.5 Participation Rights.

9.5.1 Crosswinds Participation Right. For so long as FNHC is a Member, in the event that FNHC or any of its Affiliates solicits, initiates or takes any action to facilitate or encourage any inquiries or the making of any proposal from a Person or group of Persons other than Crosswinds and its Affiliates that may constitute, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an FNHC Alternate Transaction, FNHC shall offer Crosswinds the opportunity, but not the obligation, to invest in such FNHC Alternate Transaction on an equal basis with FNHC and any of its Affiliates, as the case may be. FNHC shall provide Crosswinds with written notice (the “Crosswinds Participation Notice”) of the material terms and conditions of the FNHC Alternate Transaction. Crosswinds shall have a period of up to 60 days (the “Crosswinds Participation Acceptance Period”) after receipt of the Participation Notice within which to notify FNHC that it wishes to exercise its option to participate in the FNHC Alternate Transaction. Crosswinds may participate in the FNHC Alternate Transaction either directly or indirectly through any Person that is an Affiliate of Crosswinds. If Crosswinds exercises its option to participate, then Crosswinds, FNHC and, if applicable, any Affiliate of FNHC shall take all action within their respective power to consummate the FNHC Alternate Transaction within 120 days of the expiration of the Participation Acceptance Period on the terms and conditions set forth in the Participation Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if 120 days is not sufficient time to enable Crosswinds, FNHC and, if applicable, any Affiliate of FNHC to obtain all necessary consents from any third party or Governmental Authority and enter into any necessary agreements and amendments of existing agreements, such 120 days will be extended for the period reasonably necessary to complete such actions, but not in excess of 60 additional days. If Crosswinds does not exercise its right to invest in such FNHC Alternate Transaction or if, having exercised its right to participate in such FNHC Alternate Transaction, Crosswinds fails to consummate its investment in the FNHC Alternate Transaction, FNHC shall be free to engage in the FNHC Alternate Transaction described in the Participation Notice with a third party, provided that such FNHC Alternate Transaction is consummated within 12 months after the expiration of the Participation Acceptance Period upon substantially the same terms and conditions (other than price, which may be higher, but, unless Crosswinds exercised its right to participate but failed to consummate the FNHC Alternate Transaction, may not be less than the price set forth in the Participation Notice) as set forth in the Participation Notice.

9.5.2 FNHC Participation Right.

(a) For so long as Crosswinds is a Member, promptly following a decision by Crosswinds or one of its wholly-owned Affiliates to take substantial steps to explore a potential Crosswinds Alternate Transaction, Crosswinds shall provide written notice to FNHC (a “Preliminary FNHC Participation Notice”), which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the action(s) triggering the notice. Crosswinds shall keep FNHC informed on a current basis as to the status of any potential Crosswinds Alternate Transaction as well as any material developments related to such proposed Crosswinds Alternate Transaction. Within five Business Days of entering into a definitive written agreement that, if consummated, would constitute a Crosswinds Alternate Transaction, Crosswinds shall provide written notice to FNHC of such agreement (the “FNHC Participation Notice”) and, subject to the execution of any confidentiality, process, or other similar letter or agreement as may be required by the counterparty to such agreement, offer FNHC the opportunity, but not the obligation, to invest in such Crosswinds Alternate Transaction on substantially similar material terms and conditions as those agreed to by Crosswinds; but FNHC shall not be entitled to (i) any rights associated with any commercial or strategic relationship to be entered into between Crosswinds or one of its wholly-owned Affiliates as part of the transaction, or (ii) in the event that Crosswinds or any of its Affiliates acts as an investment manager in connection with such Crosswinds Alternate Transaction, any share of any investment manager fees, other fees typically earned by an investment manager or sponsor in comparable transactions, or any other preferred compensation related to Crosswinds’ investment manager status. FNHC shall have a period of up to 60 days (the “FNHC Participation Acceptance Period”) after receipt of the FNHC Participation Notice within which to notify Crosswinds that it wishes to exercise its option to participate in the Crosswinds Alternate Transaction. FNHC may participate in the Crosswinds Alternate Transaction either directly or indirectly through any Person that is an Affiliate of FNHC in an amount equal to the total size of Crosswinds’ proposed investment in such Crosswinds Alternate Transaction. If FNHC does not exercise its right to invest in such Crosswinds Alternate Transaction, or if, having exercised its right to participate in such Crosswinds Alternate Transaction, FNHC fails to consummate its investment in the Crosswinds Alternate Transaction, Crosswinds shall be free to engage in the Crosswinds Alternate Transaction described in the FNHC Participation Notice with a third party, provided that such Crosswinds Alternate Transaction is consummated within 12 months after the expiration of the FNHC Participation Acceptance Period upon substantially the same terms and conditions (other than price, which may be higher, but, unless FNHC exercised its right to participate but failed to consummate the Crosswinds Alternate Transaction, may not be less than the price set forth in the Participation Notice) as set forth in the FNHC Participation Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.5.2 shall restrict Crosswinds from consummation of a Crosswinds Alternate Transaction during the FNHC Participation Acceptance Period, provided Crosswinds complies with the requirements of Section 9.5.2(b).

(b) If FNHC elects to exercise its opportunity to invest in a Crosswinds Alternate Transaction in accordance with Section (a) and such Crosswinds Alternate Transaction is consummated prior to the expiration of the FNHC Participation Acceptance Period, Crosswinds shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assign or participate to FNHC FNHC’s portion of the investment in exchange for cash consideration in an equal amount.

Section 9.6 Buy-Sell Rights.

9.6.1 In the event neither Crosswinds nor FNHC has exercised its respective rights under Section 9.3 or Section 9.4, respectively, and in the event the voting Members have not agreed upon an exit strategy pursuant to Section 9.2, for a period of 120 days following the expiration of the 180-day period for delivery of the ROFO Notice set forth in Section 9.4, either Crosswinds or FNHC (the “4th-Year Exercising Member”) shall have the right and option to purchase (a “4th–Year Call Right”) all, and not less than all, of the Class A Units (such Units, the “4th-Year Call Units”) in the manner, for the price and on the terms and conditions contained in Section 9.4 and set forth in the written notice of such exercise (the “4th-Year Call Option Notice”) to all other Class A Members (the “Selling Members”).

9.6.2 The purchase price per Unit (the “4th-Year Purchase Price”) of any 4th-Year Call Unit shall be determined at the discretion of the 4th-Year Exercising Member and set forth in the 4th-Year Call Option Notice.

9.6.3 Upon receipt of the 4th-Year Call Option Notice, FNHC or Crosswinds, as applicable, shall have the right to become the 4th-Year Exercising Member (and the initial 4th-Year Exercising Member shall become a Selling Member) and purchase all, and not less than all of the Class A Units owned by the Selling Members for the 4th-Year Purchase Price set forth in the 4th-Year Call Option Notice. The replacement 4th-Year Exercising Member shall send the initial 4th-Year Exercising Member and all other Members written notice of its exercise and thereafter, for purposes of this Section 9.6, the 4th-Year Call Units shall be deemed to be as described in this Section 9.6.3.

9.6.4 The 4th-Year Purchase Price with respect to any 4th-Year Call Units purchased by the 4th-Year Exercising Member shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by each Selling Member promptly upon delivery of the documents reasonably required for the 4th-Year Call Closing under Section 9.6.5.

9.6.5 Any purchase of Units pursuant to this Section 9.6 shall be consummated (the “4th-Year Call Closing”) at the Company’s principal office at 10:00 a.m., prevailing business time, on the date (the “4th-Year Call Closing Date”) which is the 120th day after the date of the 4th-Year Call Option Notice; but, if any regulatory approval or waiting period is required in connection with any such purchase, then such 120-day period shall be extended by the number of days necessary to satisfy such regulatory requirement, but in no event shall such period be extended by more than 60 days. If such date is not a Business Day, the 4th-Year Call Closing shall occur at the same time and place on, and the 4th-Year Call Closing Date shall be, the next succeeding Business Day. At the 4th-Year Call Closing, the Selling Members shall deliver to the 4th-Year Exercising Member the duly executed written instruments of transfer of such Units to be sold by it in connection with the 4th-Year Call Right, in form and substance satisfactory to 4th-Year Exercising Member.

9.6.6 In the event a Selling Member fails to designate an account to receive a wire transfer or fails to deliver such Units, in proper form for Transfer, on the 4th-Year Call Closing Date, the 4th-Year Exercising Member may elect to deposit the cash representing the 4th-Year Purchase Price (minus any escrow fees) with an escrow agent. From and after the deposit of such adjusted 4th-Year Purchase Price, such Units shall be deemed for all purposes (including the right to vote, receive payment of distributions and exercise rights under this Agreement) to have been transferred to the 4th-Year Exercising Member, and the Units registered in the name of such Selling Member shall be deemed to have been canceled and to represent solely a right to receive payment of the 4th-Year Purchase Price (minus any escrow fees), without interest, from the escrow account. If the proceeds of sale have not been claimed by such Selling Member (by delivery of duly executed written instruments of transfer of such Units, in proper form for transfer) prior to the fourth anniversary of the 4th-Year Call Closing Date, the escrow deposits, and all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to the 4th-Year Exercising Member, and such Selling Member shall look solely to the 4th-Year Exercising Member for payment of the 4th-Year Purchase Price. The escrow agent shall not be liable for any action or inaction taken by him in good faith.

9.6.7 Upon the delivery of the 4th-Year Call Option Notice, the Selling Member’s respective rights, as a Class A Member, under this Agreement shall terminate; but, if the 4th-Year Call Closing shall not have occurred on or before the applicable 4th-Year Call Closing Date (other than due to a failure of the Selling Member to comply with its obligations under Section 9.6), then such Selling Member’s rights as a Class A Member shall be reinstated.

9.6.8 For the period between March 1st and April 15th of 2019 and for each calendar year thereafter, each of the Class A Members may exercise the 4th-Year Call Right upon the same terms as set forth in this Section 9.6.

Section 9.7 TransRe Sale Rights.

9.7.1 In the event the voting Members have not agreed upon an exit strategy pursuant to Section 9.2, for a period of 120 days following (a) the expiration of the 180-day period set forth for delivery of the ROFO Notice in Section 9.4 or (b) if Crosswinds delivered a ROFO Notice and a ROFO Transaction with FNHC was not consummated within the time required by Section 9.4, the earlier of (i) notice from Crosswinds to TransRe that it is no longer pursuing a Third Party Offer or (ii) expiration of the 12-month period for consummation of a Third Party Offer in Section 9.4, TransRe shall offer Crosswinds and FNHC the opportunity, but not the obligation, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Units held by TransRe in the manner, for the price and on the terms and conditions set forth in the written notice of such exercise (the “TransRe Sale Offer”) to Crosswinds and FNHC.

9.7.2 The purchase price per Unit (the “TransRe Sale Price”) of the Units to be sold by TransRe pursuant to this Section 9.7 shall be determined at the discretion of TransRe and set forth in the TransRe Sale Notice.

9.7.3 Each of Crosswinds and FNHC shall have a period of up to 30 days after receipt of the TransRe Sale Offer within which to notify TransRe (the “TransRe Sale Request”) that it wishes to exercise its option to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Units held by TransRe (each Member who delivers a TransRe Sale Request, whether one or more, the “Exercising Member”). In the event that both Crosswinds and FNHC accept the TransRe Sale Offer, together Crosswinds and FNHC shall purchase all of the Units held by TransRe with each purchasing such Units in proportion to the relative number of Class A Units held by each Exercising Member. If either or both of Crosswinds and FNHC has not accepted the offer contained in the TransRe Sale Offer by delivering a TransRe Sale Request in the required time, each such party that did not deliver a TransRe Sale Request shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its rights under this Section 9.7 with respect to such TransRe Sale Offer. If both Crosswinds and FNHC shall fail to deliver a TransRe Sale Request in the required time, TransRe shall thereafter be free, for a period of 180 days from the date of the TransRe Sale Offer, to Transfer all of its Units on the same terms (other than price per Unit, which may be higher, but may not be lower) and subject to the same conditions applicable to the Units set forth in the TransRe Sale Offer.

9.7.4 Within ten Business Days following the receipt of the TransRe Sale Request, TransRe shall execute and deliver to the Exercising Member duly executed written instruments of transfer of TransRe’s Units, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Exercising Member, that warrant to the Exercising Member that TransRe shall Transfer its Units free and clear of any Encumbrances, together with any other documents reasonably required to be executed in connection with such Transfer of Units. If TransRe shall fail to deliver such documents to the Exercising Member, the Company shall cause its books and records to show that TransRe’s Units are subject to the provisions of this Section 9.7.4 and that such Units shall be transferred to the Exercising Member immediately upon surrender for transfer by TransRe.

9.7.5 In the event that TransRe did not sell its Units to a third party within the required time described in Section 9.7.3, for a period of 10 days following the expiration of such 180-day period set forth in Section 9.7.3, TransRe shall have the right to require the Company to redeem all and not less than all of its Units at a price (the “TransRe Redemption Price”) equal to the Fair Market Value calculated in accordance with Section 8.8 of such Units, but, the valuation methodology for determination of Fair Market Value shall be the same as used in the determination of the 4-Year Valuation and the cost of the qualified independent appraiser shall be borne solely by the Company. TransRe may only exercise this redemption right by serving a written notice on the Company (the “TransRe Redemption Request”) requesting redemption of all of the Units held by TransRe. No TransRe Redemption Notice, once delivered to the Company, may be withdrawn and is considered irrevocable.

9.7.6 The Company shall establish a date (the “TransRe Redemption Date”) to redeem all of the Units of TransRe as the Board reasonably determines, but in no event shall the TransRe Redemption Date be later than 30 days after, the final determination of the TransRe Redemption Price. The Company shall deliver a written notice of the TransRe Redemption Date (the “TransRe Redemption Notice”) to TransRe not less than 5 days subsequent to the final determination of the Fair Market Value of the Units of TransRe to be redeemed. The TransRe Redemption Notice shall include:

(a) The TransRe Redemption Date;

(b) The TransRe Redemption Price; and

(c) A document that TransRe is to duly execute and deliver to warrant to the Company that TransRe shall surrender its Units free and clear of any Encumbrances.

9.7.7 On or before the applicable TransRe Redemption Date, TransRe shall deliver the document referred to in Section 9.7.6(c). The purchase price for such Units shall be due and payable upon the earlier of a Conveyance Triggering Event or the fourth anniversary of the TransRe Redemption Date, increased annually on a compound basis by the Mid-Term Applicable Federal Rate published for the month on which TransRe Redemption Date occurs; but, the Company may, in its sole discretion, prepay, without premium or penalty, the Redemption Price in whole or in part on any earlier date or dates.

9.7.8 If the TransRe Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, then notwithstanding TransRe’s failure to deliver the document referred to in Section 9.7.6(c), all rights with respect to such Units shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of TransRe to receive the TransRe Redemption Price as set forth in Section 9.7.7 without additional interest upon delivery of such document to the Company.

9.7.9 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the Company may pay the TransRe Redemption Price by making a liquidating distribution of Monarch National Holdings stock to TransRe in an amount equal to the TransRe Redemption Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 9.7.7, which stock the Company agrees to buy back, or to cause Monarch National Holdings to buy back, for cash in an amount equal to the TransRe Redemption Price as adjusted pursuant to Section 9.7.7.

Section 9.8 Subsidiary Management Rights and Obligations

9.8.1 The action of the board of any Subsidiary of the Company will require the prior approval of the Board on behalf of the Company in its capacity as direct or indirect shareholder of such Subsidiary. Each Member agrees to cause any Person acting as a director or officer of any such Subsidiary to act in accordance with this Section 9.8 and this Agreement. The executive officers of each Subsidiary of the Company shall be designated by FNHC, subject to Board oversight.

9.8.2 For so long as Crosswinds and FNHC each hold a Percentage Interest above the Minimum Control Threshold Amount, each will have the right to designate half of the directors to be elected to the board of any Subsidiary by the Company, except Monarch National; which right Crosswinds and FNHC may respectively also exercise in the event of the resignation, removal or death of such designated directors.

9.8.3 In the event Crosswinds’ Percentage Interest falls below the Minimum Control Threshold Amount, FNHC will have the right to designate all of the directors to be elected to the board of any Subsidiary for so long as FNHC’s Percentage Interest is equal to or greater than the Minimum Control Threshold Amount; in which case FNHC may request, and the Company shall cause the removal of, the director(s) to such Subsidiary designated by Crosswinds.

9.8.4 In the event FNHC’s Percentage Interest falls below the Minimum Control Threshold Amount, Crosswinds will have the right to designate all of the directors to be elected to the board of any Subsidiary for so long as Crosswinds’ Percentage Interest is equal to or greater than the Minimum Control Threshold Amount; in which case Crosswinds may request, and the Company shall cause the removal of, the director(s) to such Subsidiary designated by FNHC.

9.8.5 In the event both Crosswinds’ and FNHC’s Percentage Interests, respectively, fall below the Minimum Control Threshold Amount, the Board will have the right to designate two directors to be elected to the board of any Subsidiary, and the Board may cause the removal of any directors previously designated by Crosswinds or FNHC.

9.8.6 The directors elected to the board of any Subsidiary will carry out their duties in accordance with the instructions of the Board acting in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, any director elected to the board of a Subsidiary that fails to carry out such instructions, subject only to the requirements of applicable law, shall be removed by the Board.

9.8.7 The Board and the Members will take all actions within their respective powers required to cause the Company to effectuate the provisions of this Section 9.7, and the Board and the Members will not take any action that would contravene or impede the Company from effectuating the provisions of this Section 9.7.

Section 9.9 Termination of FNHC Services Agreement other than for Cause. If the FNHC Services Agreement is terminated by Monarch National other than for cause (as defined therein), FNHC shall be entitled to receive from the Company a termination fee equal to the aggregate fees paid by Monarch National under the FNHC Services Agreement for the twelve (12) calendar months immediately preceding the date of termination. Such termination fee shall be due and payable to FNHC within five Business Days from the date of termination of the FNHC Services Agreement.

Section 9.10 Debt Participation Right. In the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries determines to incur any debt or liability described in Section 6.2.2(k) (excluding short-term indebtedness not exceeding $250,000 in the aggregate that is incurred in the ordinary course of business), including as set forth in the Annual Budget (the “Offered Debt”), the Company shall offer the Members the opportunity, but not the obligation, to participate, on a Pro Rata Basis, in such Offered Debt on the material terms and conditions set forth in a “Debt Notice.” Each Member shall have a period of 30 days (the “Debt Acceptance Period”) after receipt of the Debt Notice within which to notify the Company that it wishes to exercise its option to participate in the Offered Debt. After the expiration of the Debt Acceptance Period and if any Offered Debt remains after allocating the Offered Debt to the Participating Members (the “Remaining Debt”), the Company shall promptly, in writing, notify each Member that elected to participate in the Offered Debt (each, a “Participating Member”) of the amount of such Remaining Debt and shall offer the Participating Members the opportunity, but not the obligation, to participate in all or such portion of the Remaining Debt. Each Participating Member shall have a period of 10 days after receipt of notice from the Company of the Remaining Debt within which to notify the Company that it wishes to exercises its option to participate in the Remaining Debt and such notice (the “Additional Participation Notice”) shall set forth the amount in which the Participating Member desires to participate. In the event that the aggregate amounts set forth in all of the Additional Participation Notices received by the Company in the required time exceeds the Remaining Debt, each Participating Member shall participate in the Remaining Debt in proportion to the relative number of Units held by each Participating Member. If none of the Members exercise the right to participate in the Offered Debt, if the Participating Members do not desire to participate in 100% of the Remaining Debt or if, having exercised its right to participate in such Offered Debt, any Member fails to consummate its participation, the Company shall be free to enter into an agreement with a third party for such Offered Debt, provided that the Offered Debt is consummated within six months after the expiration of the Debt Acceptance Period upon substantially the same terms and conditions (other than price, which may be higher, but, unless a Member exercised its right to participate but failed to consummate its participation, may not be less than the price set forth in the Debt Notice) as set forth in the Debt Notice.

10.2.2 Any other event specified by the Act that terminates the continued membership in the Company of a Member.

10.4.1 Winding Up . Upon dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof, the Company shall immediately commence to wind up its affairs and the Company shall proceed with reasonable promptness to liquidate the business of the Company and (at least to the extent necessary to pay any debts and liabilities of the Company) to convert the Company’s assets into cash. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the business and assets of the Company in order to reduce any risk of loss that might otherwise be attendant upon such liquidation.

10.4.2 Management Rights During Winding Up. During the period of the winding up of the affairs of the Company, the Board shall manage the Company and shall make with due diligence and in good faith all decisions relating to the conduct of any business or operations during the winding up period and to the sale or other disposition of the assets of the Company.

10.4.3 Liquidating Trustee. The Board may approve a Person who shall conduct such winding up and termination of the business and affairs of the Company and shall act as Liquidating Trustee of the Company.

10.4.4 Form of Distributions. The Board or Liquidating Trustee (as the case may be) shall determine whether the liquidating distributions shall be entirely in cash or in whole or in part a distribution of the Company’s assets in kind.

Section 10.5 Distributions in Liquidation. The Company shall apply or distribute Cash Flow from Liquidation in the following manner and in the following order of priority:

10.5.1 In payment of debts and obligations of the Company owed to third parties, which shall include any Member as the holder of any secured loan and to the expenses of liquidation in the order of priority as provided by law; then

10.5.2 To the setting up of any reserves which the Board or Liquidating Trustee (as the case may be) may deem necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company; then

10.5.3 In payment of any debts or obligations of the Company to any Manager, including any non-reimbursed Company expenses; then

10.5.4 In payment of any accrued but unpaid interest on, and then in payment of the unpaid principal balance, if any, of any and all loans made by any Member to the Company in accordance with this Agreement; then

10.5.5 To the Members in accordance with Section 4.6.2 as though such liquidation was a Capital Event.

Net Losses attributable to the expenditure of funds held under the reserve in Section 10.5.2 shall be allocated to each Member to the extent such expenditure will reduce the amount of cash eventually distributed to each Member.

Section 10.6 Distributions In Kind. The Board shall use its best efforts to dispose of the assets of the Company so that the liquidating distributions under Section 10.5 may be made to the Members in cash; but, at the time of the termination of the Company, the Board may determine, in its sole discretion, that certain assets owned by the Company shall be distributed in kind to the Members, in lieu of cash, proportionately to their right to receive the assets of the Company on an equitable basis reflecting the then fair market value of the assets so distributed, which fair market value shall be determined as of the date of such distribution by an appraisal from an experienced third-party appraiser engaged by the Board. Each Member’s Capital Account shall be charged or credited, as the case may be, as if each asset distributed in kind had been sold for cash at fair market value and the Net Profit or Net Loss recognized thereby had been allocated to and among the Members in accordance with Article 4.

ARTICLE 11
AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT; MEETINGS

Section 11.1 Amendments.

11.1.1 Power to Amend. Notwithstanding anything in the Act or this Agreement to the contrary, the Board shall have the power, without Member Approval, to amend this Agreement or the Certificate of Formation as may be required to facilitate or implement any of the following purposes to:

(a) add to the obligations of the Board or surrender any right or power granted to the Board or any Affiliate of the Members designating the members of the Board for the benefit of the Members;

(b) reflect the admission, substitution, termination, or withdrawal of Members in accordance with this Agreement;

(d) reflect a change that does not adversely affect the Members;

(e) satisfy any requirement, conditions, or guidelines contained in any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a federal or state agency, any order of any court of competent jurisdiction, any opinion of any relevant court interpreting a statute or other law, or contained in any federal or state statute; and

(f) amend the provisions of the Agreement relating to the allocation of profits or losses or items thereof (including nontaxable receipts and nondeductible expenditures) or credits among Members if the Company is advised by its independent certified public accountants or legal counsel that it is likely that such allocations would not be respected for federal income tax purposes, but such amendments to the maximum extent possible shall not alter the rights of Members to receive distributions as provided in the Agreement.

11.1.2 Consent of Members Required. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1.1, this Agreement shall not be amended unless such amendment is adopted by a Supermajority of Managers and approved by (a) the unanimous consent of the Members in the case of (i) any amendment to Section 11.1 or (ii) any amendment that would be reasonably likely to jeopardize the status of the Company as a limited liability company under federal income tax law; (b) each Member adversely affected in the case of any amendment that would (i) impose an obligation on any Member to increase or reduce its Capital Contributions, (ii) modify the limited liability of any Member, (iii) further restrict the transferability of all or any part of a Member’s Interest, or (iv) increase the liabilities or obligations, or diminish the rights and protections of, a particular Member or group of Members; and (c) the Class B Members, other than (if applicable) Crosswinds or FNHC or their respective Affiliates, in the case of (i) any amendment to Section 6.2.3 , Section 3.7 or (ii) any amendment that results in a recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company that adversely affects any preference of the Class B Units set forth in this Agreement.

Section 11.2 Meetings of Members.

11.2.1 General. The Board may call meetings of Members. In addition, the Board shall call a meeting upon the request in writing (including by e-mail) , of any Member who has an Ownership Percentage of at least 50% at such time. Such meetings shall be held at the principal office of the Company, or at such other place as may be designated by the Board. Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Members not less than 10 days or more than 60 days prior to the date of such meeting. The notice shall state the purpose(s) of the meeting. Members may vote in person or by proxy at such meeting.

11.2.2 Actions Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of Members may be taken without a meeting upon request by the adoption of a resolution in writing, including by e-mail or other electronic vote conducted according to the procedures set forth in Section 11.2.3, setting forth the action so taken and signed or authenticated by the Members holding a majority of the voting Interests (or such greater percentage as is expressly required by this Agreement or the Act). Such writing or electronic vote may be in one instrument or in several instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as a vote of a majority of the Members (or such greater percentage as is expressly required by this Agreement or the Act) at a meeting of the Members. Such writing or electronic vote shall be filed with the Board. An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified. For the purposes of the actions taken by the Members pursuant to this Section 11.2.2, the Board shall be permitted to participate as part of the unanimous consent of the Members, notwithstanding the definition of such term in this Agreement.

11.2.3 Conduct of Electronic Voting. Notwithstanding the attendance of a quorum at a meeting of the Members, and to the extent not prohibited by the Act, voting on resolutions properly brought before any meeting may be taken at such meeting, or if the resolution so provides, may be made electronically, by e-mail sent by the Member voting to the Board, if there is no reason to believe that such e-mail is not authentic. The period for electronic voting shall be set forth in the resolution to be voted on, but shall open within 24 hours of the question being called, and shall remain open for a minimum of seven days after notice is provided to each Member of the electronic vote to be taken. Any Member not present at the meeting at which the question is called shall promptly be given notice of the resolution and the manner in which votes are being taken. As soon as the number of Members required for the passage or defeat of the resolution in question have voted for its passage or defeat, the Board shall then give notice to each Member, and the period for electronic voting shall close approximately 24 hours thereafter at the time set forth in the Board’s notice, even if the seven day window will not yet have expired. An electronic vote may be withdrawn by a Member by notice to the Board, but such notice (which may be by e-mail notice) must occur before the Board has announced that the number of Members required for the passage or defeat of the resolution in question have voted for its passage or defeat; thereafter, no vote submitted on the question at any time may be withdrawn except upon the sworn affidavit of the Member in question that the vote recorded was not submitted by such Member or pursuant to any clerical authority granted by such Member. Voting on any question or resolution electronically in accordance with this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting at which such question was posed or resolution proposed, and shall also constitute a waiver of the use of the validity of electronic voting for such question or resolution, except for the Member using electronic means to clearly and conspicuously assert that the question or resolution may not be properly submitted to an electronic vote, or that the vote is being taken in a manner that is contrary to the Act or this Agreement.

11.2.4 Proxy. Each Member may authorize any Person or Persons to act for him by proxy on all matters in which the Member is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Every proxy must be signed by the Member or its attorney-in-fact. For any proxy that must be in writing, this requirement is satisfied if the proxy is by e-mail and a copy of the proxy e-mail is delivered to the proxy holder. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Member executing it.
