Article
III 

MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS AND TRANSFERS


 


3.1
Membership Interests; General Provisions.


 


(a)  
Each Member’s relative rights, privileges, preferences, restrictions and obligations with respect to the Company are represented
by such Member’s Membership Interests. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall be authorized to issue from
time to time such number of Units and such other Equity Securities as the Managing Member shall determine in accordance with Section
3.3. Each authorized Unit may be issued pursuant to agreements and the Managing Member shall approve, including pursuant to options
and warrants. The Company may reissue any Units that have been repurchased or acquired by the Company. Membership Interests may be issued
in whole or fractional interests.


 


(b)  
Each outstanding Unit shall be identical (except as provided in Section 3.3).


 


(c)  
Initially, none of the Units will be represented by certificates. If the Managing Member determines that it is in the interest
of the Company to issue certificates representing the Units, certificates will be issued and the Units will be represented by those certificates,
and this Agreement shall be amended as necessary or desirable to reflect the issuance of certificated Units for purposes of the Uniform
Commercial Code. Nothing contained in this Section 3.1(c) shall be deemed to authorize or permit any Member to Transfer
its Units except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement.


 


(d)  
The total number of Units issued and outstanding and held by the Members is set forth on Exhibit A (as amended
from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) as of the date set forth therein.


 






    11


     


    

 


(e)   If,
at any time after the Effective Time, REI issues a share of its Class A Common Stock or any other Equity Security of REI (other
than shares of Class B Common Stock), (i) the Company shall concurrently issue to REI one Unit (if REI issues a share of
Class A Common Stock), or such other Equity Security of the Company (if REI issues Equity Securities other than Class A
Common Stock) corresponding to the Equity Securities issued by REI, and with substantially the same rights to dividends and
distributions (including distributions upon liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities of REI to be
issued and (ii) REI shall concurrently contribute to the Company the net proceeds received by REI for such share of
Class A Common Stock or other Equity Security; provided, however, that if REI issues any shares of
Class A Common Stock in order to purchase or fund the purchase from a Member (other than REI) of a number of Units (and shares
of Class B Common Stock) equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock so issued, then the Company shall not issue
any new Units in connection therewith, and in the case of an issuance of Class A Common Stock to fund the purchase from a Member
(other than REI) of Units, REI shall not be required to transfer such net proceeds to the Company, and such net proceeds shall
instead be transferred to such selling Member as consideration for such purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
this Section 3.1(e) shall not apply to the issuance and distribution to holders of shares of REI Common Stock
of rights to purchase Equity Securities of REI under a “poison pill” or similar shareholders rights plan (and upon any
redemption of Units for Class A Common Stock, such Class A Common Stock will be issued together with a corresponding right
under such plan), or to the issuance under REI’s employee benefit plans of any warrants, options, other rights to acquire
Equity Securities of REI or rights or property that may be converted into or settled in Equity Securities of REI, but shall in each
of the foregoing cases apply to the issuance of Equity Securities of REI in connection with the exercise or settlement of such
rights, warrants, options or other rights or property. Except pursuant to Section 3.3, (x) the Company may not
issue any additional Units to REI or any of its Subsidiaries unless substantially simultaneously therewith REI or such
Subsidiary issues or sells an equal number of newly-issued shares of REI’s Class A Common Stock to another Person, and
(y) the Company may not issue any other Equity Securities of the Company to REI or any of its Subsidiaries unless substantially
simultaneously with such issuance, REI or such Subsidiary issues or sells, to another Person, an equal number of newly-issued shares
of a new class or series of Equity Securities of REI or such Subsidiary with substantially the same rights to dividends and
distributions (including distributions upon liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities of the
Company. If at any time REI or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) issues Debt Securities, REI or
such Subsidiary shall transfer to the Company (in a manner to be determined by the Managing Member in its reasonable discretion) the
proceeds received by REI or such Subsidiary in exchange for such Debt Securities in a manner that directly or indirectly burdens the
Company with the repayment of the Debt Securities. In the event any Equity Security outstanding at REI is exercised or otherwise
converted and, as a result, any shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities of REI are issued, (1) the
corresponding Equity Security outstanding at the Company shall be similarly exercised or otherwise converted, as applicable, and an
equivalent number of Units or other Equity Securities of the Company shall be issued to REI as contemplated by the first sentence of
this Section 3.1(e), and (2) REI shall concurrently contribute to the Company the net proceeds received by REI
from any such exercise.


 


(f)   
REI or any of its Subsidiaries may not redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire (i) any shares of Class A Common Stock
(including upon forfeiture of any unvested shares of Class A Common Stock) unless substantially simultaneously the Company
redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires from REI or such Subsidiary an equal number of Units for the same price per security or
(ii) any other Equity Securities of REI, unless substantially simultaneously the Company redeems, repurchases or otherwise
acquires from REI or such Subsidiary an equal number of Equity Securities of the Company of a corresponding class or series with
substantially the same rights to dividends and distributions (including distributions upon liquidation) and other economic rights as
those of such Equity Securities of REI for the same price per security. The Company may not redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire
(x) except pursuant to Section 3.3, any Units from REI or any of its Subsidiaries unless substantially
simultaneously REI or such Subsidiary redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires an equal number of shares of Class A Common
Stock for the same price per security from holders thereof, or (y) any other Equity Securities of the Company from REI or any
of its Subsidiaries unless substantially simultaneously REI or such Subsidiary redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires for the
same price per security an equal number of Equity Securities of REI of a corresponding class or series with substantially the same
rights to dividends and distributions (including distribution upon liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity
Securities of REI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any consideration payable by REI in connection with the
redemption or repurchase of any shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities of REI or any of its Subsidiaries
consists (in whole or in part) of shares of Class A Common Stock or such other Equity Securities (including, for the avoidance
of doubt, in connection with the cashless exercise of an option or warrant), then the redemption or repurchase of the corresponding
Units or other Equity Securities of the Company shall be effectuated in an equivalent manner.


 






    12


     


    

 


(g)  
The Company shall not in any manner subdivide (by any equity split, distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise)
or combine (by reverse equity split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) the outstanding Units unless an identical event
is occurring with respect to the then outstanding REI Common Stock, with corresponding changes made with respect to any other exchangeable
or convertible securities. Except as provided under Section 3.1(h), REI shall not in any manner effect any subdivision (by any
equity split, equity distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse equity split, reclassification,
recapitalization or otherwise) of the outstanding REI Common Stock unless accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination, as applicable,
of the outstanding Units, with corresponding changes made with respect to any other exchangeable or convertible securities.


 


(h)   Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement (including Section 3.1(e) or (g)), if REI or any of its Subsidiaries (other
than the Company and its Subsidiaries) receives Tax Distributions in an amount in excess of the amount that will enable REI or such
Subsidiary to meet its U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax obligations and its obligations under the Tax
Receivable Agreement or holds any other excess cash amount, REI or such Subsidiary may, in its sole discretion, (i) distribute such
excess cash amount to the shareholders of REI (or in the case of such Subsidiary, distribute such excess cash amount (directly or
indirectly) to REI to be distributed to the shareholders of REI) or (ii) contribute such excess cash amount to the Company in
exchange for a number of Units or other Equity Securities of the Company determined in its sole discretion, and in such case, REI
may distribute to the holders of Class A Common Stock shares of Class A Common Stock (if the Company issues Units to REI)
or such other Equity Security of REI (if the Company issues Equity Securities of the Company other than Units) corresponding to the
Equity Securities issued by the Company and with substantially the same rights to dividends and distributions (including
distributions upon liquidation) and other economic rights as those of such Equity Securities of the Company that were issued to REI.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, a Redeeming Member shall not be entitled to any additional consideration pursuant to Section
3.3(c) as a result of a transaction described in this Section 3.1(h).


 


3.2
Voting Rights. No Member has any voting right except with respect to those matters specifically reserved for a Member
vote under the Act and for matters expressly requiring the approval of Members under this Agreement. Except as otherwise required by the
Act, each Unit will entitle the holder thereof to one vote on all matters to be voted on by the Members. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, the holders of Units having voting rights will vote together as a single class on all matters to be approved
by the Members.


 


3.3
Redemption of Units.


 


(a)  
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.3, each of the Members (other than REI
and its wholly owned Subsidiaries) (the “Redeeming Member”) shall be entitled to cause the Company to redeem
all or a portion of such Member’s Units (together with the transfer and surrender of the same number of shares of Class B Common
Stock) for an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock (a “Redemption”) or, at the Company’s
election made in accordance with Section 3.3(a)(ii), cash equal to the Cash Election Amount calculated with respect to
such Redemption. With respect to each Redemption, a Redeeming Member shall be required to redeem at least a number of Units equal to the
lesser of [     ] Units and all of the Units then held by such Redeeming Member. A Redeeming Member shall be permitted to effect a Redemption
of Units no more frequently than once per calendar quarter. The Managing Member may, in its discretion, adopt a policy to limit quarterly
exchanges to a particular period during each quarter. Upon the Redemption of all of a Member’s Units, such Member shall, for the
avoidance of doubt, cease to be a Member of the Company.


 


(i)   
In order to exercise the redemption right under Section 3.3(a), the Redeeming Member shall provide written notice
(the “Redemption Notice”) to the Company, with a copy to REI (the date of delivery of such Redemption Notice,
the “Redemption Notice Date”), stating:


 


(A) the number of Units (together with the transfer and surrender of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock) the Redeeming
Member elects to have the Company redeem;


 


(B)
if the shares of Class A Common Stock to be received are to be issued other than in the name of the Redeeming Member, the
name(s) of the Person(s) in whose name or on whose order the shares of Class A Common Stock are to be issued;


 






    13


     


    

 


(C) whether
the exercise of the redemption right is to be contingent (including as to timing) upon the closing of an underwritten offering of
the shares of Class A Common Stock for which the Units will be redeemed or the closing of an announced merger, consolidation or
other transaction or event to which REI is a party in which the shares of Class A Common Stock would be exchanged or converted
or become exchangeable for or convertible into cash or other securities or property; and


 


(D) if the Redeeming
Member requires the Redemption to take place on a specific date, such date, provided that, any such specified date shall
not be earlier than the date that would otherwise apply pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Redemption Date.


 


If the Units to be
redeemed (or the shares of Class B Common Stock to be transferred and surrendered) by the Redeeming Member are represented by a certificate
or certificates, prior to the Redemption Date, the Redeeming Member shall also present and surrender such certificate or certificates
representing such Units (or shares of Class B Common Stock) during normal business hours at the principal executive offices of the
Company, or if any agent for the registration or transfer of Class A Common Stock is then duly appointed and acting (the “Transfer
Agent”), at the office of the Transfer Agent. If required by the Managing Member, any certificate for Units and any certificate
for shares of Class B Common Stock (in each case, if certificated) surrendered to the Company hereunder shall be accompanied by instruments
of transfer, in forms reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Member and the Transfer Agent, duly executed by the Redeeming Member or
the Redeeming Member’s duly authorized representative.


 


(ii)
Upon receipt of a Redemption Notice, the Company shall be entitled to elect (a “Cash Election”) to settle
the Redemption by delivering to the Redeeming Member, in lieu of the applicable number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would
be received in such Redemption, an amount of cash equal to the Cash Election Amount for such Redemption. In order to make a Cash Election
with respect to a Redemption, the Company must provide written notice of such election to the Redeeming Member (with a copy to REI) prior
to 1:00 p.m., Houston time, on or prior to the second Business Day after the Redemption Notice Date. If the Company fails to provide such
written notice prior to such time, it shall not be entitled to make a Cash Election with respect to such Redemption.


 


(iii)
For U.S. federal income (and applicable state and local) tax purposes, each of the Redeeming Member, the Company and REI, as the
case may be, agree to treat each Redemption and, in the event REI exercises its Call Right, each transaction between the Redeeming Member
and REI, as a sale of the Redeeming Member’s Units (together with the same number of shares of Class B Common Stock) to REI
in exchange for shares of Class A Common Stock or cash, as applicable.


 






    14


     


    

 


		(b)	(i) Subject to the satisfaction of any contingency described in Section 3.3(a)(ii)(C) that
is specified in the relevant Redemption Notice, the Redemption shall be completed on
the Redemption Date; provided, that if a valid Cash Election has not been made, the Redeeming Member may, at any time prior
to the Redemption Date, revoke its Redemption Notice by giving written notice (the “Retraction Notice”) to the
Company (with a copy to REI); provided, however, that in no event may the Redeeming Member retract more than
three of its Redemption Notices in any calendar quarter. The timely delivery of a Retraction Notice shall terminate all of the Redeeming
Member’s, the Company’s and REI’s rights and obligations arising from the retracted Redemption Notice.









 


(ii) Unless
the Redeeming Member has timely delivered a Retraction Notice as provided in Section 3.3(b) or REI has elected its
Call Right pursuant to Section 3.3(f), on the Redemption Date (to be effective immediately prior to the close of business
on the Redemption Date) (A) the Redeeming Member shall transfer and surrender the Units to be redeemed (and a corresponding number
of shares of Class B Common Stock) to the Company, in each case free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, (B) REI shall
contribute to the Company the consideration the Redeeming Member is entitled to receive under Section 3.3(a)(i) and,
as described in Section 3.1(e), the Company shall issue to REI a number of Units or other Equity Securities of the Company
as consideration for such contribution, (C) the Company shall (x) cancel the redeemed Units, (y) transfer to the Redeeming
Member the consideration the Redeeming Member is entitled to receive under Section 3.3(a)(i), and (z) if the Units
are certificated, issue to the Redeeming Member a certificate for a number of Units equal to the difference (if any) between the number
of Units evidenced by the certificate surrendered by the Redeeming Member pursuant to clause (ii)(A) of this Section 3.3(b) and
the number of redeemed Units, and (D) REI shall cancel the surrendered shares of Class B Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company makes a valid Cash Election, REI shall only be obligated to
contribute to the Company an amount in cash equal to the net proceeds (after deduction of any Discount) from the sale by REI of a number
of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of Units and corresponding Class B Common Stock to be redeemed with such
cash or from the sale of other REI Equity Securities used to fund the Cash Election Amount; provided that REI’s
Capital Account shall be increased by an amount equal to any such Discount relating to such sale of shares of Class A Common Stock
or other REI Equity Securities in accordance with Section 6.10; provided further, that the contribution of
such net proceeds shall in no event affect the Redeeming Member’s right to receive the Cash Election Amount.


 


(c)   If
(i) there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction, including pursuant to a
merger or consolidation that does not constitute a REI Change of Control, pursuant to which the shares of Class A Common Stock
are converted or changed into another security, securities or other property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination
or any transaction subject to Section 3.1(g)), or (ii) REI, by dividend or otherwise, distributes to all
holders of the shares of Class A Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets, including securities (including shares
of Class A Common Stock and any rights, options or warrants to all holders of the shares of Class A Common Stock to
subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire shares of Class A Common Stock, or other securities or rights convertible
into, exchangeable for or exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock), but excluding any cash dividend or distribution as
well as any such distribution of indebtedness or assets received by REI from the Company in respect of the Units or distribution
described under Section 3.1(h) , then upon any subsequent Redemption, in addition to the shares of Class A Common Stock
or the Cash Election Amount, as and if applicable, each Member shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security, securities
or other property that such Member would have received if such Redemption had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of
such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, other similar transaction, dividend or other distribution, taking into
account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization,
recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security,
securities or other property that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or
other similar transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other
similar transaction in which the shares of Class A Common Stock are converted or changed into another security, securities or
other property, or any dividend or distribution (other than any excluded dividend or distribution, as described above or
distribution described under Section 3.1(h)), this Section 3.3 shall continue to be
applicable, mutatis mutandis, with respect to such security or other property. This Agreement shall apply to the Units
held by the Members and their Transferees as of the date hereof, as well as any Units hereafter acquired by a Member and his or her
or its Transferees.


 


(d)  
REI shall at all times keep available, solely for the purpose of issuance upon a Redemption, out of its authorized but unissued
shares of Class A Common Stock, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock that shall be issuable upon the Redemption of
all outstanding Units (other than those Units held by REI or any Subsidiary of REI); provided, that nothing contained herein
shall be construed to preclude REI from satisfying its obligations with respect to a Redemption by delivery of cash pursuant to a Cash
Election or shares of Class A Common Stock that are held in the treasury of REI. REI covenants that all shares of Class A Common
Stock that shall be issued upon a Redemption shall, upon issuance thereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In
addition, for so long as the shares of Class A Common Stock are listed on a National Securities Exchange, REI shall use its reasonable
best efforts to cause all shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon a Redemption to be listed on such National Securities Exchange
at the time of such issuance.


 






    15


     


    

 


(e)   The
issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock upon a Redemption shall be made without charge to the Redeeming Member for any stamp
or other similar tax in respect of such issuance; provided, however, that if any such shares of Class A
Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that of the Redeeming Member, then the Person or Persons in whose name the shares
are to be issued shall pay to REI the amount of any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in such issuance or
shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of REI that such tax has been paid or is not payable.


 


(f)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.3, but subject to Section 3.3(g), a
Redeeming Member shall be deemed to have offered to sell its Units as described in the Redemption Notice to REI, and REI may, in its sole
discretion, by means of delivery of a Call Election Notice in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, this Section 3.3(f),
elect to purchase directly and acquire such Units (together with the transfer and surrender of the same number of shares of Class B
Common Stock) on the Redemption Date by paying to the Redeeming Member (or, on the Redeeming Member’s written order, its designee)
that number of shares of Class A Common Stock the Redeeming Member (or its designee) would otherwise receive pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(i) or,
at REI’s election, an amount of cash equal to the Cash Election Amount of such shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Call
Right”), whereupon REI shall acquire the Units offered for redemption by the Redeeming Member (together with the transfer
and surrender of the same number of shares of Class B Common Stock to REI for cancellation). REI shall be treated for all purposes
of this Agreement as the owner of such Units; provided that if REI funds the Cash Election Amount other than through
the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock, such Units will be reclassified into another Equity Security of the Company if the
Managing Member determines such reclassification is necessary.


 


(i) REI may, at any time prior to the Redemption Date, in its sole discretion deliver written notice (a “Call Election
Notice”) to the Company and the Redeeming Member setting forth its election to exercise its Call Right. A Call Election
Notice may be revoked by REI at any time; provided that any such revocation does not prejudice the ability of the parties
to consummate a Redemption on the Redemption Date. Except as otherwise provided by this Section 3.3(f), an exercise of
the Call Right shall be consummated pursuant to the same timeframe and in the same manner as the relevant Redemption would have been consummated
if REI had not delivered a Call Election Notice.


 


(g)   In
connection with a REI Change of Control, REI shall have the right to require each Member (other than REI and its wholly owned
Subsidiaries) to effect a Redemption of some or all of such Member’s Units (together with the transfer and surrender of the
same number of shares of Class B Common Stock); provided that a Cash Election shall not be permitted pursuant
to such a Redemption under this Section 3.3(g). Any Redemption pursuant to this Section 3.3(g) shall be
effective immediately prior to the consummation of the REI Change of Control (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be
effective if such REI Change of Control is not consummated) (the “Change of Control Redemption Date”).
From and after the Change of Control Redemption Date, (i) the Units and shares of Class B Common Stock subject to such
Redemption shall be deemed to be transferred to REI on the Change of Control Redemption Date and (ii) such Member shall cease
to have any rights with respect to the Units and shares of Class B Common Stock subject to such Redemption (other than the
right to receive shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to such Redemption). REI shall provide written notice of an expected
REI Change of Control to all Members within the earlier of (x) five (5) Business Days following the execution of the agreement
with respect to such REI Change of Control and (y) ten (10) Business Days before the proposed date upon which the contemplated
REI Change of Control is to be effected, indicating in such notice such information as may reasonably describe the REI Change of
Control transaction, subject to applicable law, including the date of execution of such agreement or such proposed effective date,
as applicable, the amount and types of consideration to be paid for shares of Class A Common Stock in the REI Change of
Control, any election with respect to types of consideration that a holder of shares of Class A Common Stock, as applicable,
shall be entitled to make in connection with such REI Change of Control, and the number of Units (and corresponding shares of
Class B Common Stock) held by such Member that REI intends to require to be subject to such Redemption. Following delivery of
such notice and on or prior to the Change of Control Redemption Date, the Members shall take all actions reasonably requested by REI
to effect such Redemption, including taking any action and delivering any document required pursuant to the remainder of
this Section 3.3 to effect a Redemption.


 






    16


     


    

 


(h)  
No Redemption shall impair the right of the Redeeming Member to receive any distributions payable on the Units redeemed pursuant
to such Redemption in respect of a record date that occurs prior to the Redemption Date for such Redemption. For the avoidance of doubt,
no Redeeming Member, or a Person designated by a Redeeming Member to receive shares of Class A Common Stock, shall be entitled to
receive, with respect to such record date, distributions or dividends both on Units redeemed by the Company from such Redeeming Member
and on shares of Class A Common Stock received by such Redeeming Member, or other Person so designated, if applicable, in such Redemption.


 


(i)   
Any Units acquired by the Company under this Section 3.3 and transferred by the Company to REI shall remain
outstanding and shall not be cancelled as a result of their acquisition by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
REI shall be automatically admitted as a Member of the Company with respect to any Units or other Equity Securities in the Company it
receives under this Agreement (including under this Section 3.3 in connection with any Redemption).


 


(j)   The
Managing Member may impose additional limitations and restrictions on Redemptions (including limiting Redemptions), to the extent it
determines, as a result of a change in law or administrative guidance, in good faith based on advice of counsel, such limitations
and restrictions to be reasonably necessary to avoid the Company being classified as a “publicly traded partnership”
within the meaning of section 7704 of the Code. Furthermore, the Managing Member may require any Member or group of Members to
redeem all of their Units to the extent it determines, as a result of a change in law or administrative guidance, in good faith
based on advice of counsel, that such Redemption is reasonably necessary to avoid the Company being classified as a “publicly
traded partnership” within the meaning of section 7704 of the Code. Upon delivery of any notice by the Managing Member to
such Member or group of Members requiring such Redemption, such Member or group of Members shall exchange, subject to exercise by
REI of its Call Right pursuant to Section 3.3(f)(i), all of their Units effective as of the date specified in such
notice (and such date shall be deemed to be a Redemption Date for purposes of this Agreement) in accordance with
this Section 3.3 and otherwise in accordance with the requirements set forth in such notice.


 


3.4
Unit Ownership. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Managing Member shall have the right to
authorize and cause the Company to issue on such terms (including price) as may be determined by the Managing Member (i) subject
to the limitations of Section 3.1, additional Units or other Equity Securities in the Company (including creating preferred
interests or other classes or series of interests having such rights, preferences and privileges as determined by the Managing Member,
which rights, preferences and privileges may be senior to the Units), and (ii) obligations, evidences of indebtedness or other securities
or interests convertible or exchangeable for Units or other Equity Securities in the Company; provided that, at any time
following the date hereof, in each case the Company shall not issue Equity Securities in the Company to any Person unless such Person
shall have executed a counterpart to this Agreement and all other documents, agreements or instruments deemed necessary or desirable in
the discretion of the Managing Member. Upon such issuance and execution, such Person shall be admitted as a Member of the Company. In
that event, the Managing Member shall amend Exhibit A to reflect such additional issuances. Subject to the proviso to Section 11.2,
the Managing Member is hereby authorized to amend this Agreement to set forth the designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties
of such additional Units or other Equity Securities in the Company, or such other amendments that the Managing Member determines to be
otherwise necessary or appropriate in connection with the creation, authorization or issuance of, any class or series of Units or other
Equity Securities in the Company pursuant to this Section 3.4; provided that, subject to the proviso to Section 11.2,
the Managing Member shall have the right to amend this Agreement as set forth in this sentence without the approval of any other Person
(including any Member) and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (except Section 11.2) if such amendment is
necessary in order to consummate any offering of shares of REI Common Stock or other Equity Securities of REI provided that the designations,
preferences, rights, powers and duties of any such additional Units or other Equity Securities of the Company as set forth in such amendment
are substantially similar to those applicable to such shares of REI Common Stock or other Equity Securities of REI.


 






    17


     


    

 


3.5
Representations and Warranties. Each Member hereby represents, warrants and acknowledges to the Company that: (a) such
Member has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment
in the Company and is making an informed investment decision with respect thereto; (b) such Member is acquiring interests in the Company
for investment only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution to the public or public offering thereof;
and (c) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by such Member.


 


3.6
Restrictions on the Transfer of Interests.


 


(a)   Permitted
Transfers. Except for Transfers to Permitted Transferees or Transfers made in accordance with Section 3.3, no Member
shall Transfer all or any portion of such Member’s Membership Interests, without the prior written Consent of the Managing
Member, which consent may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of the Managing Member. Any purported Transfer in breach of
the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, and the Company shall not recognize any such prohibited
Transfer on its books and records. Any Member who Transfers or attempts to Transfer any Membership Interests except in compliance
herewith shall be liable to, and shall indemnify and hold harmless, the Company and the other Members for all costs, expenses,
damages and other liabilities resulting therefrom. In connection with the Transfer of any Membership Interests, the holder of such
Membership Interests shall deliver prior written notice to the Company describing in reasonable detail the proposed Transfer at
least one (1) Business Day prior thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, all Transfers to Permitted Transferees shall also comply with Sections 3.6(b)
to 3.6(f).  For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions on Transfer contained in Section 3.6 shall not apply to
the Transfer of any capital stock of the Managing Member; provided that no shares of Class B Common Stock may
be Transferred unless a corresponding number of Units are Transferred therewith in accordance with this Agreement. The Company
intends to satisfy the private placement safe-harbor in Treasury Regulation section 1.7704-1(h) and intends to limit
issuances of Membership Interests and to limit Transfers of Membership Interests to satisfy the requirement in Treasury
Regulation section 1.7704-1(h)(ii). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in furtherance of the
foregoing, the Managing Member shall limit the issuances of Membership Interests after the IPO and limit its consent to Transfers so
that the Company continues to satisfy the private placement safe-harbor under Treasury
Regulation section 1.7704-1(h). 


 


(b)  
Additional Restrictions. In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer herein contained, including the provisions of
this Section 3.6, in no event may any Transfer or assignment of Membership Interests by any Member be made to any Person who
lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own Membership Interests; if in the opinion of legal counsel or a qualified tax advisor to
the Company such Transfer presents a material risk that such Transfer would cause the Company to cease to be classified as a partnership
or to be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of section 7704(b) of the Code for U.S. federal
income tax purposes; if such Transfer would cause the Company to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I
of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in Section 3 (14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person”
(as defined in section 4975(e)(2) of the Code); if such Transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, cause any portion
of the assets of the Company to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to the Plan Asset Regulations or otherwise cause
the Company to be subject to regulation under ERISA; if such Transfer requires the registration of such Membership Interests or any Equity
Securities issued upon any exchange of such Membership Interests, pursuant to any applicable U.S. federal or state securities Laws; or
if such Transfer subjects the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act or the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, each as amended
(or any succeeding law). Any Transfer purported to be made in violation of this Section 3.6(b) shall be void ab
initio.


 


(c)  
Securities Laws. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Membership Interest shall be Transferred
except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from registration and/or qualification
under the Securities Act and any other applicable securities Laws.


 






    18


     


    

 


(d)  
 Effect of Permitted Transfer. Any Transfer of a Membership Interest that complies with Section 3.6(a) and Section
3.6(b) shall be effective to assign the right to become a Member, and, without the need for any action or Consent of any other Person,
a Transferee of such Membership Interest shall automatically be admitted as a Member upon such Transferee’s delivery to the Managing
Member of an executed customary joinder agreement prepared by the Company. As a condition to the Company’s obligation to effect
a Transfer permitted hereunder, any Transferee of Membership Interests shall be required to (i) become a party to this Agreement as a
Member and shall have the rights and obligations of a Member hereunder, (ii) expressly assume all liabilities and obligations of the Transferring
Member (or its applicable Affiliates) to the Company or the other Members and (iii) if the Transferee is to be admitted to the Company
as a new Member, acknowledge the representations and warranties in Section 3.5 are true and correct with respect to such Transferee
as of the date such Person is to become a Member. Each Transfer is effective against the Company as of the first Business Day following
delivery of the joinder agreement to the Company.


 


(e)  
Expenses. Except as provided in Section 3.6(a), the Company shall bear any ordinary course expenses it may incur
in connection with effecting any Transfer of any Membership Interests. Any transfer or similar taxes arising as a result of the Transfer
of a Member’s Membership Interest shall be paid by the Transferring Member.


 


(f)
Distributions. Any distribution or payment made by the Company to the Transferring Member prior to such time as the Transferee
was admitted as a Member pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Transfer of such Transferring Member’s
Membership Interests shall constitute a release of the Company, the Managing Member, and the Members, of all liability to such Assignee
or new Member who may be interested in such distribution or payment by reason of such Transfer.


 


3.7
Change in Business Form.


 


(a)  
Except in the case of a Reorganization Event, which shall be determined in accordance with Section 6.9, or in the case of
a Reclassification Event, which shall be determined in accordance with Section 6.8, if the Managing Member approves the reorganization
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries into another business form, each Member hereby consents to such reorganization or election and
shall vote for (to the extent such Member has voting rights), raise no objections against such reorganization, and each Member shall take
such actions as are reasonably requested by the Managing Member in connection with the consummation of such reorganization of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries as determined by the Managing Member. The method of effecting such reorganization shall be determined by the
Managing Member; provided, however, that the Managing Member (or its successor), the Company, and the Members shall use reasonable best
efforts to structure any such reorganization in a manner that is tax efficient for the Company and its Members.


 


(b)   In
connection with any such reorganization, (i) the organizational documents of the reorganized entity shall provide that the rights
and obligations of the Members hereunder shall continue to apply substantially in accordance with the terms hereof, except to the
extent the parties hereto otherwise agree in writing and (ii) each Membership Interest shall (effective upon and subject to the
consummation of such reorganization) convert into equity securities of the reorganized entity and shall be allocated among the
Members such that each Member shall receive equity securities in the or reorganization entity with substantially similar economic
rights as such Member’s former Membership Interests.

IV 

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS


 


4.1
Capital Contributions; Return of Cash.


 


(a)  
General. Following the Effective Date, no Member shall be required to make any Capital Contributions to the Company, except
as otherwise set forth in Section 3.1(e) or as agreed to in writing by such Member, and any Capital Contributions following the
Effective Date shall be made as detailed in, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.1(b).


 


(b)  
Capital Calls.


 


(i)   
To the extent approved by the Managing Member, from time to time, additional Capital Contributions may be called for from the Members
if the Managing Member determines that such additional Capital Contributions are necessary for the conduct of the Company’s business
(any such additional Capital Contributions called for from the Members by the Managing Member, being hereinafter referred to as an “Additional
Call Amount”). In that event, the Members shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to participate in such additional
Capital Contributions in accordance with their Percentage Interest. To the extent that some Members elect not to make an additional Capital
Contribution, those Members that do elect to make an additional Capital Contribution shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation,
to increase their additional Capital Contributions pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests such that the total
of the additional Capital Contribution equals the Additional Call Amount.


 


(ii)
Upon the funding of any Capital Contribution by a Member pursuant to clause (i) above, such Member shall be issued a number
of additional Units, as applicable, equal to the amount of the Capital Contribution made by such Member in respect of such Capital Contribution
divided by the Fair Market Value of such Units. Exhibit A and the books and records of the Company shall be thereafter amended
accordingly.


 


4.2
Capital Accounts. The Company shall maintain for each Member a separate Capital Account in accordance with the rules
of Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and in accordance with the following provisions:


 


(a)   Each
Member’s Capital Account shall be increased by (i) the amount of all Capital Contributions made to the Company by such Member
pursuant to this Agreement (net of any liabilities assumed by the Company in connection with such Capital Contributions and any
liabilities to which any property comprising such Capital Contributions is subject), and (ii) all items of Company income and gain
(including income and gain exempt from tax) computed in accordance with Section 4.2(b) and allocated with respect to such
Member pursuant to Section 5.1, and decreased by (x) the amount of cash or Agreed Value of property actually or deemed
distributed to such Member pursuant to this Agreement (net of liabilities assumed by such Member and the liabilities to which such
property is subject), and (y) all items of Company deduction and loss computed in accordance with Section 4.2(b) and
allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 5.1.


 






    20


     


    

 


(b)  
For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, loss or deduction which is to be allocated pursuant to Article
V and is to be reflected in the Members’ Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall
be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax purposes, provided, that:


 


(i)   
All fees and other expenses incurred by the Company to promote the sale of (or to sell) a Membership Interest that can neither
be deducted nor amortized under section 709 of the Code, if any, shall, for purposes of Capital Account maintenance, be treated as an
item of deduction at the time such fees and other expenses are incurred and shall be allocated among the Members pursuant to Section
5.1.


 


(ii)
Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the computation of all items of income, gain,
loss and deduction, shall be made without regard to any election under section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Company and, as
to those items described in section 705(a)(1)(B) or 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, without regard to the fact that such items are not includable
in gross income or are neither currently deductible nor capitalized for federal income tax purposes. 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 Regulation
section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment in the Capital Accounts
shall be treated as an item of gain or loss.


 


(iii)
In lieu of the depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing such items, there
shall be taken into account Depreciation, computed in accordance with the definition of “Depreciation.”


 


(iv)  
For purposes of determining income, gain, loss, and deduction, or any other item allocable to any period, such items will be determined
on a daily, monthly or other basis, as reasonably determined by the Managing Member using any permissible method under section 706 of
the Code and the related Treasury Regulations.


 


(v)  
 If the Carrying Value of any asset differs from its adjusted tax basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any gain or loss
resulting from a disposition of such asset shall be calculated with reference to such Carrying Value.


 


(vi)  
In the event an adjustment to the Carrying Value of the assets of the Company occurs pursuant to Section 4.2(d), any Unrealized
Gain or Unrealized Loss shall be treated as having been actually realized.


 


(c)  
A Transferee shall succeed to the pro rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor relating to the Membership Interest
so Transferred. Except as otherwise provided herein, all items of income, gain, expense, loss, deduction, and credit allocable to any
Membership Interest that may have been Transferred during any calendar year shall, if permitted by law, be allocated between the transferor
and the transferee based on the portion of the calendar year during which each was recognized as owning that Membership Interest, based
upon the interim closing of the books method or such other method as agreed between the transferor, the transferee and the Company; provided
however, that this allocation must be made in accordance with a method permissible under section 706 of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder.


 






    21


     


    

 


(d)  
In accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), (i) on an issuance of additional Membership Interests for
cash or Contributed Property, (ii) immediately prior to any actual or deemed distribution to a Member of any Company property (other than
a distribution of cash that is not in redemption or retirement of a Membership Interest) or (iii) upon the occurrence of any other event
provided in such Treasury Regulation, the Capital Accounts of all Members and the Carrying Value of each Company property immediately
prior to such issuance or adjustment shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable
to such Company property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property immediately
prior to such issuance or adjustment and had been allocated to the Members at such time pursuant to Section 5.1 in the same manner
as any item of gain or loss actually recognized during such period would have been allocated, provided, however,
that such adjustments shall be made only if the Managing Member reasonably determines that such adjustments are necessary or appropriate
to reflect the relative economic interests of the Members in the Company. In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the
aggregate cash amount and Fair Market Value of all Company assets (including cash and cash equivalents) immediately prior to the event
triggering such adjustment shall be determined by the Managing Member using such method of valuation as it may adopt. The Managing Member
shall allocate such aggregate value among the assets of the Company (in such manner as it determines) to arrive at a Fair Market Value
for individual properties.


 


Article
V 

ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS


 


5.1 Allocations
for Capital Account Purposes. For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts, the Company’s items of income, gain,
loss and deduction (computed in accordance with Section 4.2(b)) shall be allocated among the Members in each taxable year (or
portion thereof) as provided herein below.


 


(a)  
General. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of income, gain, loss and deduction (including items
of gross income and income and gain exempt from tax) shall be allocated between the Members in a manner such that, after giving effect
to the special allocations set forth in Section 5.1(c), the Capital Account of each Member, immediately after making such allocation,
is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to (i) the distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 10.2(d)
if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Carrying Value, all Company liabilities
were satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Carrying Value of the assets securing such liability), and the
net assets of the Company were distributed in accordance with Section 10.2(d)(ii) to the Members immediately after making such
allocation minus (ii) such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed
immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.


 


(b)  
Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.1, the following special allocations shall
be made for such taxable period in the following order and priority:


 


(i)   
Company Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 5.1, if there is a net
decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such taxable
period (and, if necessary, subsequent taxable periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-2(f)(6)
and (g)(2) and section 1.704-2(j)(2)(i), or any successor provisions. This Section 5.1(b)(i) is intended to comply with the Company
Minimum Gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.


 


(ii)
Chargeback of Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Section 5.1 (other than Section 5.1(b)(i)), except as provided in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is
a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, any Member with a share of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum
Gain at the beginning of such Fiscal Year shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary,
subsequent taxable periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii), or
any successor provisions. This Section 5.1(b)(ii) is intended to comply with the chargeback of items of income and gain requirement
in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.


 






    22


     


    

 


(iii) Qualified
Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in
Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4) through (6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to
such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations promulgated under
section 704(b) of the Code, the deficit balance, if any, in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account created by such
adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.1(b)(iii)
shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account after
all other allocations provided in this Article V have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.1(b)(iii) were not a part of
this Agreement. This Section 5.1(b)(iii) is intended to be a “qualified income offset” as that term is used in
Treasury Regulation section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.


 


(iv)  
Stop Loss. No amount of loss or deduction shall be allocated pursuant to Section 5.1(a) to the extent that
such allocation would cause any Member to have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of such Fiscal Year (or increase
any existing deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account). All loss and deductions in excess of the limitation set forth in the preceding
sentence shall be allocated among such other Members, who have positive Adjusted Capital Account balances, in proportion thereto until
each Member’s Adjusted Capital Account balance is reduced to zero.


 


(v)  
Gross Income Allocations. In the event any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any
Company taxable period in excess of the sum of (A) the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement
and (B) the amount such Member is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulations sections 1.704.2(g) and 1.704(i)(5), such
Member shall be specially allocated items of Company gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided,
that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.1(b)(v) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit
balance in its Capital Account after all other allocations provided in this Section 5.1 have been tentatively made as if this Section
5.1(b)(v) and Section 5.1(b)(iii) were not in the Agreement.


 


(vi)  
Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Members in accordance
with their respective Percentage Interests.


 


(vii)
Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated one hundred percent
(100%) to the Member that bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to such Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse
Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-2(i). If more than one Member bears the Economic Risk
of Loss with respect to a Member Nonrecourse Debt, such Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated between
or among such Members in accordance with the ratios in which they share such Economic Risk of Loss.


 






    23


     


    

 


(viii)
 Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of Treasury Regulation section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Members agree that Nonrecourse
Liabilities of the Company in excess of the sum of (A) the amount of Company Minimum Gain and (B) the total amount of Nonrecourse Built-in
Gain shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests.


 


(ix)  
Curative Allocation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.1, other than the Required Allocations,
the Required Allocations shall be taken into account in making the Agreed Allocations so that, to the extent possible, the net amount
of items of income, gain, loss or deduction allocated to each Member pursuant to the Required Allocations and the Agreed Allocations,
together, shall be equal to the net amount of such items that would have been allocated to each such Member under the Agreed Allocations
had the Required Allocations and the related Curative Allocations not otherwise been provided in this Section 5.1. It is the intention
of the Members that allocations pursuant to this Section 5.1(b)(x) be made among the Members in a manner that is likely to minimize
economic distortions.


 


(c)  
Allocations on Liquidation. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article V, after taking into account the special
allocations in Section 5.1(b), in the year in which the Company liquidates pursuant to Article X and all subsequent years (and
for any prior years with respect to which the due date (without regard to extensions) for the filing of the Company’s federal income
tax return has not passed as of the date of the liquidation), all items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company shall be allocated
among the Members in a manner reasonably determined by Managing Member as shall cause to the nearest extent possible the Capital Account
of each Member to equal the amount to be distributed to such Member pursuant to Section 10.2(d)(ii).


 


5.2
Allocations for Tax Purposes.


 


(a)  
Except as otherwise provided herein, for federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated
among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated
pursuant to Section 5.1.


 


(b)  
Notwithstanding any provisions contained herein to the contrary, solely for federal (and applicable state and local) income tax
purposes, items of income, gain, depreciation, amortization, gain or loss with respect to property for which a Book-Tax Disparity exists,
other than oil and gas properties (as defined in section 614 of the Code), shall be allocated so as to take into account the variation
between the Company’s tax basis in such property and its Carrying Value consistent with Treasury Regulations sections 1.704-1(b)(4)(i)
and 1.704-3. Such allocations shall be made in accordance with such methods provided for in Treasury Regulations section 1.704-3 as reasonably
determined by the Managing Member.


 


(c)   For
the proper administration of the Company, the Managing Member shall (i) adopt such conventions as it deems appropriate in
determining the amount of depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions; (ii) make special allocations for federal income
tax purposes of income (including gross income or deductions); and (iii) amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate to
reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations under section 704(b) or section 704(c) of the Code. The Managing Member
may adopt such conventions, make such allocations and make such amendments to this Agreement as provided in this Section 5.2(c)
only if such conventions, allocations or amendments are consistent with the principles of section 704 of the Code and would not have
a material adverse effect on any Member.


 






    24


     


    

 


(d)  
All recapture of income tax deductions resulting from the taxable sale or other disposition of Company property shall, to the maximum
extent possible, be allocated to the Member to whom the deduction that gave rise to such recapture was allocated hereunder to the extent
that such Member is allocated any gain from the disposition of such property.


 


(e)  
All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit recognized by the Company for federal income tax purposes and allocated to
the Members in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be determined without regard to the election under section 754 of the Code
that will be made by the Company; provided however, that such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted (in any manner determined
by the Managing Member) as necessary or appropriate to take into account those adjustments permitted or required by sections 734 and 743
of the Code.


 


5.3
Distributions.


 


(a)  
To the extent permitted by applicable Law and hereunder, and subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(c) and Section
10.2(d), distributions of assets and properties of the Company shall be made by the Company at such times as determined by the Managing
Member in its sole discretion. Each distribution of cash or other property by the Company shall be made one hundred percent (100%) to
the Members pro rata in accordance with each Member’s Percentage Interest (except that, for the avoidance of doubt, repurchases
or redemptions made in accordance with Section 3.1(f) or payments made in accordance with Article VII
or Section 6.10 need not be on a pro rata basis). Distributions of cash shall be made to the Members by wire
transfer or ACH to the account designated by the relevant Member. For purposes of the foregoing, if payments are made by or on behalf
of the Company to a Member or an Affiliate thereof other than in respect of such Member’s Membership Interests (including in respect
of indebtedness for borrowed money), then such payments shall not be considered a distribution for purposes of determining the allocation
of a distribution pursuant to this Section 5.3(a).


 


(b)  
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any distributions may be made in cash or in kind, or partly in cash and partly
in kind, as determined by the Managing Member. To the extent that the Company distributes property in-kind to the Members, the
Company shall be treated as making a distribution equal to the Fair Market Value of such property for purposes of Section 5.3(a) and
such property shall be treated as if it were sold for an amount equal to its Fair Market Value. Any resulting gain or loss shall be allocated
to the Member’s Capital Accounts in accordance with Sections 5.1 and 5.2.


 


(c)  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managing Member shall cause Available Cash to be distributed at least five (5) days prior
to each of April 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 (or any other successor or substitute estimated tax payment date applicable
to corporate taxpayers) (each an “Estimated Tax Payment Date”), with respect to the taxable period related
to each Estimated Tax Payment Date (each, an “Estimated Tax Period”), to each Member. Such distributions shall
be made pro rata to each Member based on such Member’s pro rata share of the Tax Amount (taking into account such Member’s
Percentage Interest as of the date of such applicable distribution pursuant to this Section 5.3(c)); provided, that, a
Member’s pro rata share of the Tax Amount will only be distributed to such Member to the extent that the aggregate amount previously
distributed to such Member pursuant to Section 5.3(a) and Section 5.3(b) hereof or this Section 5.3(c) in such Fiscal Year
is less than the amount required to be distributed to such Member on such Estimated Tax Payment Date under this Section 5.3(c);
provided, further, that there will be an adjustment following each Fiscal Year (but no later than one (1) day prior to
the due date for payment of U.S. federal taxes by a corporation), and the Company shall distribute any additional amounts as necessary
to make the amounts previously distributed to a Member pursuant to Section 5.3(a) and Section 5.3(b) hereof or this Section
5.3(c) in such Fiscal Year equal such Member’s pro rata share of the Tax Amount (taking into account such Member’s Percentage
Interest) attributable to such Fiscal Year. The “Tax Amount” calculated for the period beginning on the start
of the Fiscal Year through the end of the applicable Estimated Tax Period is the sum of (x)(i) the U.S. federal, state and local estimated
aggregate taxable income of the Company allocated to all Members for such Estimated Tax Period or such Fiscal Year, multiplied by (ii)
the highest combined marginal U.S. federal, state and local tax rate applicable to an individual or corporation, whichever is higher,
residing or doing business in New York, New York for such Fiscal Year.


 






    25


     


    

 


5.4
Withholding. To the extent the Company (or any entity in which the Company owns a direct or indirect interest) is required
by law to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Member (“Tax Payments”), the Company
may withhold such amounts and make such tax payments (including non-U.S. taxes, U.S. federal withholding taxes with respect to non-U.S.
partners, U.S. state withholding taxes, U.S. state unincorporated business taxes and any taxes arising under the partnership Tax Audit
Rules) as so required. All Tax Payments made on behalf of a Member shall be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding
distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Member or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that
purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Member. If at the time of liquidation of the Company, any
such Tax Payments to a Member exceed the proceeds of liquidation to the Member, such Member shall repay such excess to the Company. If
a distribution to a Member is actually reduced as a result of a Tax Payment, for all other purposes of this Agreement such Member shall
be treated as having received the amount of the distribution that is reduced by the Tax Payment. Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from and against any liability from such Member’s failure to repay any Tax Payment
made on behalf of such Member.


 


Article
VI

in this Agreement, no Member, by virtue of having the status of a Member, shall have any management power or control over the business
and affairs of the Company or actual or apparent authority to enter into contracts on behalf of, or to otherwise bind, the Company, and
the Members shall not have any control over the day-to-day operation or management of the Company or its Subsidiaries. Except as described

behalf by the Officers as specified and authorized by the Managing Member, who shall be agents of the Company, and the management and
administration of the day-to-day business and affairs of the Company will be provided by the Managing Member. In addition to the powers
that now or hereafter can be granted under the Act and to all other powers granted under any other provision of this Agreement, the Managing
Member shall have (subject to the Act and all consent rights and other limitations in this Agreement) full power and authority to do all
things on such terms as they may deem necessary or appropriate to conduct, or cause to be conducted, the business and affairs of the Company.
Any Person dealing with the Company, other than a Member or a Member’s Affiliate, may rely on the authority of the Managing Member
or the Officers in taking any action in the name of the Company without inquiry into the provisions of this Agreement or compliance with
it, regardless of whether that action actually is taken in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.


 


(b)  
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Member hereby (i) specifically delegates to the Managing Member its rights
and powers to manage and control the business and affairs of the Company, and (ii) waives its right to bind the Company, in each case
as, and to the extent permitted by, the Act.

Subject to Section 6.2(b), the Managing Member (and any Officer authorized by the Managing Member) shall have the power,
right and authority to take all actions which the Managing Member deems necessary, useful or appropriate for the management and conduct
of the Company’s business or to the accomplishment of the purposes of the Company.


 






    26


     


    

 


(b)   Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, neither the Managing Member nor any Officer authorized by the Managing Member shall have the
authority, on behalf of the Company, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written approval of the Members:


 


(i)   
to voluntarily file in respect of the Company or its Subsidiaries a bankruptcy petition in a court of competent jurisdiction or
a petition seeking a liquidation or dissolution; provided, however, that a liquidation or dissolution pursuant to Section
10.1(b) or Section 10.1(c) shall not require consent of the Members;


 


(ii)
to amend or restate the Certificate or this Agreement (except pursuant to the terms of Article XI or amendments or restatements
of Exhibit A hereto);


 


(iii)
to take any action that would result in the failure of the Company to be taxable as a partnership for purposes of federal income
tax, or take any position inconsistent with treating the Company as a partnership for purposes of federal income tax, except as required
by Law; and


 


(iv)  
to make any distributions of assets and properties other than cash, cash equivalents and Units or other Equity Securities of the
Company.


 


6.3
Resignation; Removal and Vacancy.


 


(a)  
Removal; Resignation; Appointment. The Members may, by a vote of Members holding a majority of the Units, remove, with or
without cause, the Managing Member. The Managing Member may withdraw at any time, subject to the prior written consent of the Members
holding a majority of the Units. Any vacancy caused by any such resignation or by the removal of the Managing Member or any vacancy for
any other reason may be filled by a vote of Members holding a majority of the Units, however any such designation shall be subject to
the affirmative written consent of the Members, and any Managing Member so elected to fill any vacancy shall hold office until such Managing
Member’s earlier resignation or removal; provided, that such affirmative vote or consent of the Members shall not be required
to the extent that the successor Managing Member is an Affiliate of REI.


 


(b)  
Duties. Except as otherwise provided herein, in connection with the performance of its duties as the Managing Member of
the Company, the Managing Member acknowledges that it will owe to the Members the same fiduciary duties as it would owe to the stockholders
of a Delaware corporation under the DGCL if it were a member of the board of directors of such a corporation and the Members were
stockholders of such corporation; provided, that all Members acknowledge and agree that the Managing Member shall owe no fiduciary
or other duty to any Member where this Agreement provides that the Managing Member may act or otherwise proceed in its sole discretion.
The Members further acknowledge that the Managing Member will take action through its board of directors and that the members of
REI’s board of directors will owe comparable fiduciary duties to the stockholders of REI.








 






    27


     


    

 


6.4
 Officers. Under the direction of the Managing Member and except as provided in Section 6.2, certain administrative
activities of the Company shall be conducted on the Company’s behalf by the Officers, who shall be agents of the Company.

The officers of the Company shall be such officers as the Managing Member deems necessary (the “Officers”).
The Officers shall be appointed by the Managing Member. The current Officer appointees are listed on Schedule 6.4. The Officers
shall report to the Managing Member as requested from time to time.

6.5
Term of Officers.


 


(a)  
An Officer shall serve until he resigns, his term expires or he is removed as provided in Section 6.5(b). Subject to any
applicable employment agreement, any Officer of the Company may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Managing Member. The
resignation of any Officer shall take effect upon receipt of notice or at such later time as shall be specified in such notice; and, unless
otherwise specified in such notice, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.


 


(b)  
Subject to any applicable employment agreement, an Officer may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, by the
Managing Member. If any vacancy shall occur in any office, for any reason whatsoever, then the Managing Member shall have the right to
appoint a new Officer to fill the vacancy.


 


6.6
Compensation and Reimbursement. The Managing Member and Officers shall not receive from the Company any compensation
for managing the affairs of the Company (except as provided in any applicable employment agreement).


 


6.7
Member Meetings.


 


(a)   Location;
Quorum; Voting. To the extent a meeting of the Members is required by Law or this Agreement, Member meetings shall be held at
the principal office of the Company or at such other place within or without the State of Delaware specified in the notice or
waivers of notice thereof. Except as provided herein or under applicable Law, the presence of Members holding a majority of the
Units, present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Members for
the transaction of business, and the affirmative vote of the Members holding a majority of the Units shall constitute the act of the
Members. Each Member shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each percent of the Percentage Interests held by such Member. A Member
may vote at a meeting by a written proxy executed by that Member and delivered to the Managing Member or the Secretary. A proxy
shall be revocable unless it is stated to be irrevocable.


 






    28


     


    

 


(b)  
Waiver of Notice. Attendance of a Member at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where
such Member attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting
is not lawfully called or convened.


 


(c)  
Action by Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a particular meeting may be taken without a meeting,
without notice and without a vote if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by all of the Members entitled to
vote thereon. A copy of such written consent shall be provided within ten (10) Business Days to the Members who did not sign such written
consent.


 


6.8
Reclassification Events of REI. If a Reclassification Event occurs, the Managing Member or its successor, as the case
may be, shall, as and to the extent necessary, amend this Agreement in compliance with Article XI, and enter into any necessary supplementary
or additional agreements, to ensure that, following the effective date of the Reclassification Event: (i) the redemption rights of
holders of Units set forth in Section 3.3 provide that each Unit (together with the transfer and surrender of one share
of Class B Common Stock) is redeemable for the same amount and same type of property, securities or cash (or combination thereof)
that one share of Class A Common Stock becomes exchangeable for or converted into as a result of the Reclassification Event and (ii) REI
or the successor to REI, as applicable, is obligated to deliver such property, securities or cash upon such redemption. REI shall not
consummate or agree to consummate any Reclassification Event unless the successor Person, if any, becomes obligated to comply with the
obligations of REI (in whatever capacity) under this Agreement.


 


6.9
Reorganization Event. Upon the written consent of Imperium and upon the determination by the Managing Member that it
is in the best interests of the Company and its Members to effect a Reorganization Event, the Managing Member or its successor, as the
case may be, shall, as and to the extent necessary, cause such Reorganization Event to be consummated and amend this Agreement in compliance
with  Article XI, and enter into any necessary supplementary or additional agreements, as the Managing Member deems necessary to
effect such Reorganization Event.


 


6.10 Certain Costs
and Expenses. The Company shall (i) pay, or cause to be paid, all costs, fees, operating expenses and other expenses of
the Company (including the costs, fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants or other professionals and the compensation of all
personnel providing services to the Company) incurred in pursuing and conducting, or otherwise related to, the activities of the
Company, and (ii) in the sole discretion of the Managing Member, reimburse the Managing Member for any costs, fees or other
expenses incurred by it in connection with serving as the Managing Member. To the extent that the Managing Member determines in its
sole discretion that such expenses are related to the business and affairs of the Managing Member that are conducted through the
Company and/or its Subsidiaries (including expenses that relate to the business and affairs of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries
and that also relate to other activities of the Managing Member), the Managing Member may cause the Company to pay or bear all
expenses of the Managing Member, including, without limitation, costs of securities offerings not borne directly by members, board
of directors compensation and meeting costs, costs of periodic reports to its stockholders, litigation costs and damages arising
from litigation, accounting and legal costs; provided that the Company shall not pay or bear any income tax
obligations of the Managing Member. In the event that (i) shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities of REI
were sold to underwriters in any public offering after the Effective Time, in each case, at a price per share that is lower than the
price per share for which such shares of Class A Common Stock or other Equity Securities of REI are sold to the public in such
public offering after taking into account any Discounts and (ii) the proceeds from such public offering are used to fund the
Cash Election Amount for any redeemed Units or otherwise contributed to the Company, the Company shall reimburse the Managing Member
for such Discount by treating such Discount as an additional Capital Contribution made by the Managing Member to the Company,
issuing Units in respect of such deemed Capital Contribution in accordance with Section 3.3(b)(ii), and increasing
the Managing Member’s Capital Account by the amount of such Discount. For the avoidance of doubt, any payments made to or on
behalf of the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall not be treated as a distribution pursuant
to Section 5.3 but shall instead be treated as an expense of the Company.

Article
VII 

INDEMNIFICATION


 


7.1 Right to
Indemnification. Subject to the limitations and conditions as provided herein and to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws, each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative (hereinafter
a “Proceeding”), or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to
such a Proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a Person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a
Member of the Company or Affiliate thereof or any of their respective representatives, an officer or employee of the Company or
Affiliate or a director, officer, member or employee of the Managing Member or any Affiliate, a member of a committee of the Company
or an officer of the Company, or while such a Person is or was serving at the request of the Managing Member on behalf of the
Company as a manager, director, officer, partner, venturer, member, trustee, Partnership Representative (or its designated
individual), employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic general partnership, corporation, limited
partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (each an
“Indemnitee”), shall be indemnified by the Company to the extent such Proceeding or other above-described
process relates to any such above-described relationships with, status with respect to, or representation of any such Person to the
fullest extent permitted by the Act, as the same exists or may hereinafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only
to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than said Laws permitted the Company
to provide prior to such amendment), against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), fines,
settlements and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ and experts’ fees) actually incurred by such Person in
connection with such Proceeding, and indemnification under this Article VII shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to serve in
the capacity which initially entitled such Person to indemnity hereunder for any and all liabilities and damages related to and
arising from such Person’s activities while acting in such capacity; provided however, that no Person shall be entitled
to indemnification under this Section 7.1 if there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of
competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which such Person is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.1
such Person’s actions or omissions constituted an intentional breach of this Agreement or gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of such Person or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s conduct
was unlawful. Any indemnification pursuant to this Article VII shall be made only out of the assets of the Company, it being agreed
that the Members shall not be personally liable for such indemnification and shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any
monies or property to the Company to enable it to effectuate such indemnification. The rights granted pursuant to this Article VII
shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Article VII shall have the effect of limiting or
denying any such rights with respect to actions taken or Proceedings arising prior to any such amendment, modification or repeal. An
Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.1 because the Indemnitee had an
interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the
terms of this Agreement. IT IS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 7.1 COULD INVOLVE
INDEMNIFICATION FOR NEGLIGENCE OR UNDER THEORIES OF STRICT LIABILITY.


 


7.2
Indemnification of Officers, Employees (if any) and Agents. The Company may indemnify and advance expenses to Persons
who are not entitled to indemnification under Section 7.1, including current and former employees (if any) or agents of the Company,
and those Persons who are or were serving at the request of the Company as a manager, director, officer, partner, venturer, member, trustee,
employee (if any), agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic general partnership, corporation, limited partnership,
joint venture, limited liability company, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such
Person and incurred by such Person in such a capacity or arising out of his status as such a Person to the same extent that it may indemnify
and advance expenses to a Member under this Article VII.


 


7.3
Indemnification and Expense Advancement With Respect to Actions Commenced by an Indemnitee. Notwithstanding Section
7.1, Section 7.2 and Section 7.4, the Company shall be required to indemnify and advance expenses to an Indemnitee in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding commenced by such Indemnitee only if the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding
by such Indemnitee was authorized by the Managing Member in its sole discretion.


 


7.4 Advance
Payment. Any right to indemnification conferred in this Article VII shall include a limited right to be paid or reimbursed
by the Company for any and all reasonable expenses as they are incurred by a Person entitled or authorized to be indemnified under Sections 7.1
and 7.2 who was, is or is threatened, to be made a named defendant or respondent in a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition
of the Proceeding and without any determination as to such Person’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification; provided however,
that the payment of such expenses incurred by any such Person in advance of final disposition of a Proceeding shall be made only
upon delivery to the Company of a written affirmation by such Person of his good faith belief that he has met the requirements
necessary for indemnification under this Article VII and a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Person to repay all amounts
so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article
VII or otherwise.


 






    30


     


    

 


7.5
Appearance as a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VII, the Company shall pay or reimburse
expenses incurred by any Person entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Article VII in connection with such Person’s appearance
as a witness or other participation in a Proceeding at a time when he is not a named defendant or respondent in the Proceeding.


 


7.6
Nonexclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this
Article VII shall not be exclusive of any other right which a Person indemnified pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 7.2 may have or hereafter
acquire under any Laws, this Agreement, or any other agreement, vote of Members or otherwise. The Company may purchase and maintain (or
may reimburse an Indemnitee for the cost of) insurance, on behalf of an Indemnitee as the Managing Member shall determine, against any
liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such Indemnitee in connection with the Company’s activities
or such Indemnitee’s activities on behalf of the Company, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such
Indemnitee against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.


 


7.7
No Member Liability for Indemnification Obligations. In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Members to personal liability
by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or
in part under this Article VII because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies
if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.


 


7.8
Member Notification. To the extent discretionary to the Company, the Managing Member shall approve or disapprove of
indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article VII. Any indemnification of or advance of expenses to any Person entitled
or authorized to be indemnified under this Article VII shall be reported in writing to the Managing Member within the twelve (12) month
period immediately following the date the indemnification or advance was made; provided, that no failure to comply with the notification
provisions of this Section 7.8 shall operate to deprive a Person of any indemnification or advancement of expenses to which such
Person would otherwise be entitled.


 


7.9 Savings
Clause. If this Article VII or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction,
then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless any Person entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Article VII
as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to
any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any
applicable portion of this Article VII that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by Laws.


 


7.10
Scope of Indemnity. For the purposes of this Article VII, references to the “Company” include all
constituent entities, whether corporations or otherwise, absorbed in a consolidation or merger as well as the resulting or surviving entity.
Thus, any Person entitled to be indemnified or receive advances under this Article VII shall stand in the same position under the provisions
of this Article VII with respect to the resulting or surviving entity as he would have if such merger, consolidation, or other reorganization
never occurred.


 


7.11
Other Indemnities.


 


(a)  
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the obligation of the Company under this Agreement to indemnify or advance expenses to
any Indemnitee for the matters covered thereby shall be the primary source of indemnification and advancement of such Indemnitee in connection
therewith and any obligation on the part of any Indemnitee under any Other Indemnification Agreement to indemnify or advance expenses
to such Indemnitee shall be secondary to the Company’s obligation and shall be reduced by any amount that the Indemnitee may collect
as indemnification or advancement from the Company. If the Company fails to indemnify or advance expenses to an Indemnitee as required
or contemplated by this Agreement, and any Person makes any payment to such Indemnitee in respect of indemnification or advancement of
expenses under any Other Indemnification Agreement on account of such Unpaid Indemnity Amounts, such other Person shall be subrogated
to the rights of such Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of such Unpaid Indemnity Amounts.


 


(b)  
The Company, as an indemnifying Party from time to time, agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, its obligation
to indemnify Indemnitees under this Agreement shall include any amounts expended by any other Person under any Other Indemnification Agreement
in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses to any Indemnitee in connection with any Proceedings to the extent such amounts
expended by such other Person are on account of any Unpaid Indemnity Amounts.


 






    31


     


    

 


7.12
Replacement of Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that any provision
of this Agreement purports or is interpreted (i) to have the effect of replacing, restricting or eliminating the duties that might otherwise,
as a result of Delaware or other applicable law, be owed by the Managing Member or any other Indemnitee to the Company, the Members, any
other Person who acquires an interest in a Membership Interest or any other Person who is bound by this Agreement or (ii) to constitute
a waiver or consent by the Company, the Members, any other Person who acquires an interest in a Membership Interest or any other Person
who is bound by this Agreement to any such replacement or restriction, such provision shall be deemed to have been approved by the Company,
all of the Members, each other Person who acquires an interest in a Membership Interest and each other Person who is bound by this Agreement.


 


7.13 Liability of Indemnitees.





 


(a)  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for monetary damages to the
Company, the Members, any other Person who acquires an interest in a Membership Interest or any other Person who is bound by this Agreement,
for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of an Indemnitee unless there has been a final and non-appealable
judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter in question, the Indemnitee acted in
bad faith or in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s conduct was criminal. The Members, any
other Person who acquires an interest in a Membership Interest or any other Person who is bound by this Agreement, each on their own behalf
and on behalf of the Company, waives any and all rights to claim punitive damages or damages based upon the federal or state income taxes
paid or payable by any such Member or other Person.


 


(b)  
The Managing Member may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it
hereunder either directly or by or through its agent or agents, and the Managing Member shall not be responsible for any misconduct or
negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by the Managing Member in good faith.


 


(c)  
To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnitee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto
to the Company, the Members, any Person who acquires an interest in a Membership Interest or any other Person who is bound by this Agreement,
any Indemnitee acting in connection with the Company’s business or affairs shall not be liable, to the fullest extent permitted
by Law, to the Company, to any Member, to any other Person who acquires an interest in a Membership Interest or to any other Person who
is bound by this Agreement for its reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.


 


(d)  
Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any
way affect the limitations on the liability of the Indemnitees under this Agreement as in effect immediately prior to such amendment,
modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment,
modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.


 


7.14
Standards of Conduct and Modification of Duties.


 


(a)   Whenever
the Managing Member makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, whether under this Agreement or any other
agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then, unless another express standard is expressly provided for in this Agreement, the
Managing Member shall make such determination or take or decline to take such other action in good faith and shall not be subject to
any higher standard contemplated hereby or under the Act or any other Law or at equity. A determination, other action or failure to
act by the Managing Member or any committee thereof (as the case may be) will be deemed to be in good faith unless the Managing
Member believed such determination, other action or failure to act was adverse to the interests of the Company. In any proceeding
brought by the Company, any Member or any Person who acquires an interest in a Membership Interest or any other Person who is bound
by this Agreement challenging such action, determination or failure to act, the Person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall
have the burden of proving that such determination, action or failure to act was not in good faith.


 


(b)  
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Managing Member or any other Indemnitee shall have no duty or obligation,
express or implied, to sell or otherwise dispose of any asset of the Company or its Subsidiaries.


 






    32


     


    

 


(c)  
To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Member owes any duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Company, any other Member
or other holder of Membership Interests or any other Person pursuant to applicable Laws or this Agreement such duty is hereby eliminated
to the fullest extent permitted pursuant to Law (including section 17-1101(d) of the Act), it being the intent of the Members that to
the extent permitted by Law and except to the extent another express standard is specified elsewhere in this Agreement, no Member shall
owe any duties of any nature whatsoever to the Company, the other Members or any other holders of Membership Interests or any other Person,
other than the duty of good faith and fair dealing, and each Member may decide or determine any matter in its sole and absolute discretion
taking into account solely its interests and those of its Affiliates (excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries) subject to the duty
of good faith and fair dealing. Except with respect to the express obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other agreement to which
any Member is a party, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law (including section 17-1101(f) of the Act), the Company and each
Member hereby waives any claim or cause of action against, and hereby eliminate all liabilities of, each Member, solely in its capacity
as a Member, for any breach of any duty (including fiduciary duties) to the Company, the other Members or any other holders of Membership
Interests or any other Person. Nothing herein is intended to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or other relationship creating
fiduciary or quasi-fiduciary duties or similar duties or obligations, or otherwise subject the Members to joint and several liability
or vicarious liability or to impose any duty, obligation or liability that would arise therefrom with respect to any or all of the Members
or the Company.

    34


     


    

 


10.2
Liquidation and Termination. In connection with the winding up and dissolution of the Company, the Managing Member shall
act as a liquidator (“Liquidator”), unless the Managing Member otherwise determines to appoint its Affiliate or another
Member as the Liquidator. The Liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company in an orderly manner and make
final distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The Liquidator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the liquidation
of the Company within two (2) years after an applicable Dissolution Event; provided, that such period may be extended for up to two (2)
additional one-year periods by the Managing Member. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Company expense (including the costs
and expenses of the Liquidator, in its capacity as such). Until final distribution, the Liquidator shall continue to operate the Company
properties for a reasonable period of time to allow for the sale of all or a part of the assets thereof with all of the power and authority
of the Members. The steps to be accomplished by the Liquidator are as follows:


 


(a)  
as promptly as possible after approval of the winding up and dissolution of the Company and again after final liquidation, the
Liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and operations through the last day
of the calendar month in which the winding up and dissolution is approved or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;


 


(b)  
the Liquidator shall cause any notices required by applicable Law to be sent to each known creditor of and claimant against the
Company in the manner described by applicable Law;


 


(c)  
upon approval of the winding up and dissolution of the Company, the Liquidator shall, unless the Managing Member otherwise determines,
be prohibited from distributing assets in kind and shall instead sell for cash the equity of the Company or the assets of the Company
at the best price available. The property of the Company shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value
thereof. The Liquidator may sell all of the Company property, including to one or more of the Members. If any assets are sold or otherwise
liquidated for value, the Liquidator shall proceed as promptly as practicable in a commercially reasonable manner to implement the procedures
of this Section 10.2(c); and


 


(d)  
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any applicable Law (including the Act), the Liquidator shall distribute
the assets of the Company in the following order of priority:





 


(i)   
 First, the Liquidator shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company assets all of the debts, liabilities and obligations
of the Company, or otherwise make adequate provision for payment, satisfaction and discharge thereof; provided however, that such
payments shall not include any Capital Contributions described in Article IV or any other obligations of the Members created by this Agreement;
and


 


(ii)
Second, all remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 5.3.


 


(e)  
All distributions to the Members pursuant to Section 10.2(d)(ii) above shall be in the form of cash, unless the Members
jointly determine otherwise.


 


(f)
When the Liquidator has complied with the foregoing liquidation plan, the Liquidator (or the Managing Member), on behalf of all
Members, shall execute, acknowledge and cause to be filed a Certificate of Cancellation.


 






    35


     


    

 


10.3
Provision for Contingent Claims.


 


(a)  
The Liquidator shall make a reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations, including all contingent, conditional or unmatured
claims and obligations, actually known to the Company but for which the identity of the claimant is unknown; and


 


(b)  
If there are insufficient assets to both pay the creditors pursuant to Section 10.2 and to establish the provision contemplated
by Section 10.3(a), subject to applicable Law, the claims shall be paid as provided for in accordance to their priority, and, among
claims of equal priority, ratably to the extent of assets therefor.


 


10.4
Deficit Capital Accounts. No Member shall have any obligation to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account
upon liquidation of the Company.


 


10.5
Deemed Contribution and Distribution. In the event the Company is “liquidated” within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but no Dissolution Event has occurred, the Company’s property shall not be liquidated, the
Company’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged, and the Company’s affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, solely for
federal income tax purposes, the Company shall be deemed to have contributed all Company property and liabilities to a new limited liability
company in exchange for an interest in such new limited liability company and, immediately thereafter, the Company will be deemed to liquidate
by distributing interests in the new limited liability company to the Members.
