 6.2 The Board: Delegation of Authority and Duties.

 (a) Members and Board. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by the Board, which shall possess all rights
and powers which are possessed by managers under the Delaware Act and otherwise by law, pursuant to Section 18-402 of the 

  

 4 








 
Delaware Act, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, the Member hereby consents to the exercise by
the Board of all such powers and rights conferred on them by the Delaware Act or otherwise by law with respect to the management and control of the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Director shall have such rights and
duties as are applicable to directors of a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware. 
 (b) Delegation by the
Board. The Board shall have the power and authority to delegate to one or more other persons the Board’s rights and powers to manage and control the business and affairs of the Company, including delegating such rights and powers of the
Board to agents and employees of the Company (including Officers). The Board may authorize any Person (including, without limitation, any Member, Director or Officer) to enter into any document on behalf of the Company and perform the obligations of
the Company thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall not have the power and authority to delegate any rights or powers customarily requiring the approval of the directors of a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware and
no Officer or other Person shall be authorized or empowered to act on behalf of the Company in any way beyond the customary rights and powers of an officer of a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware. 
 (c) Committees. The Board may, from time to time, establish one or more committees and may delegate certain of its responsibilities to
such committees. Any such committee shall have such powers and authority of the Board as provided in the enabling resolution of the Board with respect thereto. The Board shall have power at any time to fill vacancies in, to change the membership of,
or to dissolve any committee. 
 6.3 Term of Office. Once designated pursuant to Section 6.1, a Director shall continue in office
until the removal of such Director in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or until the earlier death or resignation of such Director. Any Director may resign at any time by giving written notice of such Director’s resignation to
the Board. Any such resignation shall take effect at the time the Board receives such notice or at any later effective time specified in such notice. Unless otherwise specified in such notice, the acceptance by the Board of such Director’s
resignation shall not be necessary to make such resignation effective. Notwithstanding anything herein or at law to the contrary, any Director may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Member. 
 6.4 Meetings of the Board and Committees. 
 (a) Meetings. The Board (or any committee of the Board) shall meet at such time and at such place as the Chairman of the Board (or the chairman of such committee) may designate. Written notice of all regular meetings of the
Board (or any committee of the Board) must be given to all Directors (or all members of such committee) at least ten days prior to the regular meeting of the Board (or such committee). Special meetings of the Board (or any committee of the Board)
shall be held at the request of a majority of the Directors (or a majority of the members of such committee) upon at least two (2) days (if the meeting is to be held in person) or twenty-four hours (if the meeting is to be held telephonically)
oral or written notice to the Directors (or the members of such committee) or upon such shorter notice as may be 

  

 5 








 
approved by the Directors (or the members of such committee). All notices and other communications to be given to Directors (or members of a committee) shall
be sufficiently given for all purposes hereunder if in writing and delivered by hand, courier or overnight delivery service or three days after being mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, with appropriate postage prepaid,
or when received in the form of a telegram, email or facsimile, and shall be directed to the address or facsimile number as such Director (or member) shall designate by notice to the Company. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose
of, any regular or special meeting of the Board (or committee) need be specified in the notice of such meeting. Any Director (or member of such committee) may waive the requirement of such notice as to such Director (or such member). 
 (b) Conduct of Meetings. Any meeting of the Board (or any committee of the Board) may be held in Person or by conference telephone or
similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in Person at such meeting. 
 (c) Quorum. A majority of all Directors (or members of a committee of the Board), present in Person or participating in accordance with
Section 6.4(b), shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but if at any meeting of the Board (or committee) there shall be less than a quorum present, a majority of the Directors (or members) present may adjourn the meeting
without further notice. The Directors (or members of a committee of the Board) present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Directors (or members) to leave less
than a quorum; provided, however, that only the acts of the Directors (or members of such committee) meeting the requirements of Section 6.5 shall be deemed to be acts of the Board (or such committee). 
 (d) Procedures. To the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Delaware Act, the procedures and rights governing the Board and
its committees shall be as provided to the board of directors and its committees of a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware. 
 (e) Chairman of the Board. The chairman of the Board shall preside at all meetings of the Board. The Directors also may elect a vice-chairman to act in the place of the chairman upon his absence or inability to act.

 6.5 Voting. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the effectiveness of any vote, consent or other action of the Board (or
any committee of the Board) in respect of any matter shall require either (i) the presence of a quorum and the affirmative vote of greater than a majority of the Directors (or members of such committee) present or (ii) the unanimous
written consent (in lieu of meeting) of the Directors (or members of such committee) who have been designated and who are then in office. Any Director may vote in Person or by proxy (pursuant to a power of attorney) on any matter that is to be voted
on by the Board at a meeting thereof.

 6.6 Responsibility and Authority of the Board. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Agreement, the authority and functions of the Board, on the one hand, and the Officers, on the other hand, shall be identical to the authority and functions of the board of directors and officers, respectively, of a corporation organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware. The Officers shall be vested with such powers and duties as are set forth in Article VII hereof and as are specified by the Board from time to time. Accordingly, except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Agreement, the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed under the direction of the Board, and the day-to-day activities of the Company shall be conducted on the Company’s behalf by the Officers who shall be agents of the Company.

 ARTICLE VII 
 OFFICERS 
 7.1 Designation and Appointment. The Board may, from time to time, employ and retain Persons as may be
necessary or appropriate for the conduct of the Company’s business (subject to the supervision and control of the Board), including employees, agents and other Persons (any of whom may be a Member or Director) who may be designated as Officers
of the Company, with titles including but not limited to “chief executive officer,” “president,” “vice president,” “treasurer,” “secretary,” “general counsel” and “chief financial

shall hold office until his successor shall be duly designated and shall have qualified as an Officer or until his death or until he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided. The salaries or other compensation, if

resign as such at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the Board. The acceptance by the Board of a resignation of any
Officer shall not be necessary to make such resignation effective, unless otherwise specified in such resignation. Any Officer may be removed as such, either with or without cause, at any time by the Board. Designation of any Person as an Officer by
the Board pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.1 shall not in and of itself vest in such Person any contractual or employment rights with respect to the Company. 
 7.3 Duties of Officers Generally. The Officers, in the performance of their duties as such, shall (i) owe to the Company duties of loyalty and due care of the type owed by the officers of a corporation to
such corporation and its stockholders under the laws of the State of Delaware, and (ii) keep the Board reasonably apprised of material developments in the business of the Company.

resolutions of the Board and of any committee thereof are carried into effect. The President may sign, with the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary or any other Officer of the Company thereunto duly authorized by the Board, any deeds, mortgages,

required by applicable law to be otherwise executed. The President, if he is also a director, shall, in the absence of or because of the inability to act of the chairman of the Board, perform all duties of the chairman of the Board and preside at
all meetings of the Board. 
 7.5 Chief Financial Officer. The chief financial officer shall keep complete and accurate records of
account, showing at all times the financial condition of the Company. He shall be the legal custodian of all money, notes, securities and other valuables which may from time to time come into the possession of the Company. He shall furnish at

 7.6 Vice President(s). The vice president(s) of the Company shall perform such duties and have such other powers as the president
of the Company or the Board may from time to time prescribe. A vice president may be designated as an Executive Vice President, a Senior Vice President, an Assistant Vice President, or a vice president with a functional title. 
 7.7 Secretary.

 (c) If the Board chooses to appoint an assistant secretary or assistant secretaries, the assistant secretaries, in the order of seniority, shall in the

 ARTICLE VIII 
 INDEMNIFICATION 
 8.1 Exculpation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, no Member, Officer or Director shall be liable for monetary damages to the Company, any Member or any other Person who has acquired an interest in the Company for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission
of such Member, Officer or Director 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, such Member, Officer or Director acted in bad faith or
engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that his or her conduct was criminal. To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Member, Officer or Director has duties (including fiduciary duties) and
liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to the Members, no Member, Officer or Director acting in connection with the Company’s business or affairs shall be liable to the Company or to any Member for its good faith reliance on the
provisions of this Agreement. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 8.1 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of any Member, Director or Officer under
this Section 8.1 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. 
 8.2 Right to Indemnification. Subject to the limitations and conditions provided in this
Article VIII, each Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, or any appeal in such a
proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a proceeding (any such proceeding, appeal, inquiry or investigation being hereinafter called a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such Person (a) is or was the
Member or a Director or is or was serving as an Officer of the Company or (b) while the Member or a Director or a Person serving as an Officer of the Company is or was serving at the written request of the Company as a manager, member,
director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar official or functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise, shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent that would be permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but in the
case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment provides broader indemnification rights than were provided by the DGCL prior to such amendment) if the Company were a corporation organized under the DGCL and the Member or Director
were a director of such a corporation and each such Officer were an officer of such a corporation, against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), fines, settlements, claims, other liabilities and reasonable
expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) actually 
  

 9 








 
incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding, and indemnification under this Article VIII shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to serve
in the capacity which initially entitled such Person to indemnity hereunder with respect to actions or omissions prior to such cessation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such Person. The rights granted
pursuant to this Article VIII shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Article VIII shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to actions or omissions or Proceedings arising
prior to any such amendment, modification or repeal. It is expressly acknowledged that the indemnification provided in this Article VIII could involve indemnification for negligence or liabilities under theories of strict liability. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Article VIII, no Person shall be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article VIII with respect to any Proceeding (or any claim in any Proceeding) initiated or made by such Person without the
express prior approval of the Board. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VIII, and in addition to the other limitations on indemnification under the DGCL incorporated herein as aforesaid, no Person shall be entitled to
indemnification under this Article VIII against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and expenses to the extent they result from actions or omissions involving gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Person. 
 8.3 Determination of Eligibility. To the extent the DGCL requires a determination as to whether a standard of conduct expressed in
Section 145 thereof has been met by a Person or any other determination bearing on whether a Person is entitled to indemnification, such determination shall be made by the Board. 
 8.4 Advancement of Expenses. A Person who is or was a Member, Director or Officer of the Company who may be entitled to indemnification under this
Article VIII shall have the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Company the reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such Person in defending a Proceeding in respect of which such indemnity is sought in advance of the final
disposition of the Proceeding, upon written request to the Company with a written undertaking, by or on behalf of such Person, to repay the amount so paid or reimbursed if it shall ultimately be determined that such Person is not entitled to be
indemnified under this Article VIII . 
 8.5 Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Company, by action of the Board, may
indemnify and advance expenses to an employee or agent of the Company who is not an Officer of the Company to the same or lesser extent (subject to the same or more restrictive conditions) as it may indemnify and advance expenses to the Member, any
Director or any Person serving as an Officer under this Article VIII. 
 8.6 Appearance as a Witness. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Article VIII, the Company may pay or reimburse expenses incurred by the Member, any Director or any Officer in connection with such Member’s, Director’s or Officer’s appearance as a witness or other participation in
a Proceeding at a time when such Member, Director or Officer is not a named defendant or respondent in the Proceeding. 
 8.7 Right of
Claimant to Bring Suit. If a written claim received by the Company from or on behalf of an indemnified party under this Article VIII is not paid in full by

the Company within 90 days after such receipt, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the
claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in
defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Company) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for
the Company to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company (including the Board, independent legal counsel, or the Member) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Company
(including the Board, independent legal counsel, or the Member) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of
conduct. 
 8.8 Nonexclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this
Article VIII shall not be exclusive of any other right which the Member, Director or other Person indemnified pursuant to Section 8.2 may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of the Certificate of Formation
or this Agreement, agreement, action of the Member or Directors or otherwise. 
 8.9 Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain
insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Person who is the Member or a Director or was serving as an Officer, employee or agent of the Company, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such
expense, liability or loss under this Article VIII. 
 8.10 Savings Clause. If this Article VIII 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 the Member, any Director or any other Person indemnified pursuant to this Article VIII 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 VIII that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
