in effect from time to time. No action of the Members shall be required to supplement or amend the Member List. Revisions to the Member List made by the Managers as a result of changes to the information set forth therein made in accordance with
this Agreement shall not constitute an amendment of this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 3 COMPANY CAPITAL AND INTERESTS

(a) Each Member’s Capital Commitment shall be set forth on the Member List and in such Member’s Subscription Agreement and shall be
payable in U.S. dollars. 
 (b) Each Member’s obligation to fund its Capital Commitment shall commence on the effective date of this
Agreement. Subject to Manager Approval, each payment of a Member’s Capital Commitment shall be made from time to time within ten (10) business days after notice from the Managers specifying the amount then to be paid, or such later date as
may be specified in such notice. Capital Contributions shall be made by all Members pro rata based on their respective Capital Commitments. 

Section 3.2 Defaulting Members. 

(a) Upon the failure of any Member (a “Defaulting Member”) to pay in full any portion of such Member’s Capital
Commitment within ten (10) days after written notice from any other Member (the “Default Date”) that such payment is overdue, each of the other Members, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to pursue one or more of the
following remedies on behalf of the Company if such failure has not been cured in full within such ten-day period: 

(i) collect such unpaid portion (and all reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and other costs incident thereto) by
exercising and/or pursuing any legal remedy the Company may have; and 

  
 7 







 (ii) upon thirty (30) days written notice (which period may commence during
the ten-day notice period provided above), and provided that the overdue payment has not been made, either (x) immediately terminate the Reinvestment Period and dissolve and wind down the Company in
accordance with Article 9, or (y) acquire the Defaulting Member’s membership interest in the Company at the then current Value in accordance with Section 9.3(e) (and be required to assume such Member’s remaining Capital
Commitment). 
 Except as set forth below, the non-defaulting Member’s election to pursue any
one of such remedies shall not be deemed to preclude such Member from pursuing any other such remedy, or any other available remedy, simultaneously or subsequently. 

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, 

(i) a Defaulting Member shall remain fully liable for its Capital Commitment to the creditors of the Company to the extent
provided by law as if such default had not occurred; and 
 (ii) a Defaulting Member shall not be entitled to distributions
made after the Default Date until the default is cured. 
 Section 3.3 Interest or Withdrawals. No Member shall be entitled to
receive any interest on any Capital Contribution to the Company. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no Member shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Contributions or Capital Account balance. 

Section 3.4 Termination. 

(a) A Member may terminate all or any portion of its remaining Capital Commitments at any time upon sixty (60) days prior written notice
to the Company. Upon any such termination by the Sunstone Member, SLR (or one of its Affiliates) or a third party investor acceptable to SLR, which, if applicable, SLR shall use its reasonable best efforts in assisting the Sunstone Member in
identifying, shall have the right to acquire the Sunstone Member’s membership interest in the Company at the then current Value in accordance with Section 9.3(e) and be required to assume the Sunstone Member’s remaining Capital
Commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, termination of all or any portion of a Member’s Capital Commitment shall not require the consent of any other Member. 

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, termination of a remaining Capital Commitment by a Member pursuant to Section 3.4(a) shall not terminate
the remaining Capital Commitment of any other Member. 
 ARTICLE 4 INVESTMENTS 

Section 4.1 Investments Generally. The assets of the Company shall, to the extent not required for the payment of Expenses
pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, be invested in Investments. 

  
 8 







 Section 4.2 Investment Process. The investment process will include a pre-screening meeting between the SLR Managers and the Sunstone Managers which will occur as needed upon reasonable advance notice by the SLR Managers to the Sunstone Managers to review potential investment
opportunities. The Sunstone Managers shall be provided and have reasonable access to all diligence and other materials available to the SLR Managers relating to any potential investment opportunities and any other information concerning the
potential Investments that the Sunstone Managers may reasonably request including but not limited to information about the anticipated tax consequences of the Investment. Each potential Investment may only be consummated by the Company upon receipt
of Manager Approval. The Sunstone Managers will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the SLR Managers to consummate any such potential Investments that receive Manager Approval. 

Section 4.3 Allocation of Investment Opportunities. Investments shall be allocated to the Company in accordance with the
allocation policy and regulatory requirements applicable to SLR. 
 Section 4.4 Indebtedness. 

(a) The Company may, upon receipt of Manager Approval, obtain financing pursuant to one or more credit facility arrangements (the
“Credit Facilities”) with one or more credit facility providers. The proceeds of the Credit Facilities shall be used for any purposes permitted under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, for the
purposes of financing the acquisition and ownership of Investments and paying Expenses. 
 (b) Credit Facilities may be secured by:
(i) the assets of the Company, including, without limitation, any Investment of the Company; and (ii) an assignment and pledge by the Company of all or a portion of the aggregate unfunded Capital Commitments of the Members. 

ARTICLE 5 ALLOCATIONS 

Section 5.1 Capital Accounts. 

(a) An individual capital account (a “Capital Account”) shall be maintained for each Member consisting of such Member’s
Capital Contribution, increased or decreased by Profit or Loss allocated to such Member, decreased by the cash or Value of property (giving effect to any liabilities the property is subject to, or which the Member assumes) distributed to such
Member, and otherwise maintained consistent with this Agreement. In the event that the Company determines that it is prudent to modify the manner in which Capital Accounts, including all debits and credits thereto, are computed in order to be
maintained consistent with this Agreement, the Company is authorized to make such modifications to the extent that they do not result in a material adverse effect to any Member. Capital Accounts shall be maintained in a manner consistent with
applicable Treasury Regulations. 
 (b) Profit or Loss shall be allocated among Members as of the end of each fiscal year of the Company;
provided that Profit or Loss shall also be allocated at the end of (i) each period terminating on the date of any withdrawal by any Member, (ii) each period terminating immediately before the date of any admission or increase in Capital
Commitment of any Member, (iii) the liquidation of the Company, or (iv) any period which is determined by Manager Approval to be appropriate. 

  
 9 







 Section 5.2 General Allocations. Profit or Loss shall be allocated among the Members
pro rata in proportion to their Capital Contributions. 
 Section 5.3 Changes of Interests. For purposes of allocating Profit or
Loss for any fiscal year or other fiscal period between any Members whose relative Company interests have changed during such period, or to any withdrawing Member that is no longer a Member in the Company, the Company shall allocate according to any
method allowed by the Code and selected with Manager Approval. Distributions with respect to an interest in the Company shall be payable to the owner of such interest on the date of distribution. 

Section 5.4 Income Taxes and Tax Capital Accounts. 

(a) Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be allocated in the same manner as such item is allocated pursuant to
Section 5.2. 
 (b) In the event of any variation between the adjusted tax basis and value of any Company property reflected in the
Members’ capital accounts maintained for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such variation shall be taken into account in allocating taxable income or loss for income tax purposes in accordance with, and to the extent consistent with, the
principles under Section 704(c) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations. 
 ARTICLE 6 DISTRIBUTIONS 

Section 6.1 General. 

(a) The Managers shall determine the timing, amount and form of any distributions (including, but not limited to, distributions of operating
income, interest, dividends and the proceeds from sale, financing or other disposition of an Investment); provided that, to the extent the Managers have determined there is liquidity available for distribution, Distributable Proceeds shall be
distributed to the Members no less frequently than once each calendar quarter, and such distribution shall be made within 30 days of the end of each such calendar quarter; provided, further, that the terms of any credit facility (or similar
arrangement) may govern the ability to make distributions to the Members. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to sell or dispose of any Investments to make a distribution pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) and if the
Company does not have sufficient funds to pay a distribution that would otherwise be required but for the limitation in this sentence, the Company shall pay a distribution in the maximum amount that would not be subject to such limitation. In each
case, the Company shall distribute such amounts to the Members on a date as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant determination by the Managers (each a “Distribution Date”). 

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Article 6 or Section 9.3, distributions shall be shared among the Members as set forth in this
Section 6.1(b). The Members, with Manager Approval, may determine to make a distribution from available cash or cash equivalents received from one or more Investments (whether from principal repayment or otherwise and after reduction as
provided by Section 6.2 and Section 6.3), in which event such distribution shall be shared among the Members in respect of their interests in the Company in proportion to their respective Capital Contributions. 

  
 10 







 Section 6.2 Withholding. The Company may withhold from any distribution to any Member
any amount which the Company has paid or is obligated to pay in respect of any withholding or other tax, including, without limitation, any interest, penalties or additions with respect thereto, imposed on any interest or income of or distributions
to such Member, and such withheld amount shall be considered an interest payment or a distribution, as the case may be, to such Member for purposes hereof. If no payment is then being made to such Member in an amount sufficient to pay the
Company’s withholding obligation, any amount which the Company is obligated to pay shall be deemed an interest-free advance from the Company to such Member, payable by such Member by withholding from subsequent distributions or within ten
(10) days after receiving written request for payment from the Company. 
 Section 6.3 Reinvestment; Certain Limitations;
Distributions in Kind. 
 (a) Any Distributable Proceeds from wholly or partially realized Investments constituting a return of Capital
Contributions received by the Company during the Reinvestment Period with respect to Investments may, upon Manager Approval, be retained and used, or reserved to be used during the Reinvestment Period, to make future Investments. Alternatively, the
Members, with Manager Approval, may cause the Company to distribute, in accordance with Section 6.1 through Section 6.2, any amount that could be retained for re-investment as set forth above. To the
extent such distributed amount to a Member represents a distribution other than from cumulative undistributed Profit, net of cumulative Loss, allocated to such Member, such amount shall be added to the unfunded Capital Commitment of such Member and
may be recalled by the Company during the Reinvestment Period in accordance with Article 3. 
 (b) In no event shall the Company be
required to make a distribution to the extent that it would (i) render the Company insolvent, or (ii) violate Section 18-607(a) of the Act. 

(c) No part of any distribution shall be paid to any Member from which there is due and owing to the Company, at the time of such distribution,
any amount required to be paid to the Company pursuant to Article 3. Any such withheld distribution shall be paid to such Member, without interest, when all past due installments of such Member’s Capital Commitment have been paid in full by
such Member. 
 (d) Distributions of securities and of other non-cash assets of the Company other
than upon the dissolution and liquidation of the Company shall only be made pro rata to all Members (in proportion to their respective shares of the total distribution) with respect to each security or other such asset distributed. Securities listed
on a national securities exchange that are not restricted as to transferability and unlisted securities for which an active trading market exists and that are not restricted as to transferability shall be valued in the manner contemplated by
SLR’s valuation policy as of the close of business on the day preceding the distribution, and all other securities and non-cash assets shall be valued as determined pursuant to SLR’s valuation
policy. No distributions of non-cash assets other than Marketable Securities may be made prior to the dissolution of the Company without Manager Approval.

deliver such contract or instrument and to take such act on behalf of the Company. This Section shall not be deemed to limit the liabilities and obligations of such Person to seek Manager Approval as set forth in this Agreement. 

Section 7.10 Members’ Outside Transactions; Investment Opportunities; Time and Attention. 

(a) Each Manager shall devote such time and effort as is reasonably necessary to diligently administer the activities and affairs of the
Company, but shall not be obligated to spend full time or any specific portion of their time to the activities and affairs of the Company. 

(b) The Servicer and its Affiliates may manage or administer other investment funds and other accounts with similar or dissimilar mandates, and
may be subject to the provisions of the Investment Company Act, including, without limitation, Section 57 thereof, and the Advisers Act, with respect to the allocation of investment opportunities among such other investment funds and other
accounts (the “Allocation Requirements”). Except for (i) any Allocation Requirement that may be applicable to the Company and (ii) any requirement under the Advisers Act, neither a Member, the Servicer nor any of their

others, including, without limitation, the formation and management of other investment funds with or without the same or similar purposes as the Company, and the ownership of and investment in securities, and neither the Company nor any other
Member shall have any right in or to any such activities or the income or profits derived therefrom. 
 Section 7.11 Exculpation of
Managers. 
 (a) No Manager shall be liable to the Company or any other Manager for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any
action taken or omitted to be taken by such Manager in good-faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, so long as such action or omission does not constitute fraud or willful misconduct by such Manager. 

(b) A Manager shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or
statements (including financial statements and information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value or amount of the assets, liabilities, Profits or Losses of the Company or any facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from
which distributions might properly be paid) of the following Persons or groups: (i) another Manager; (ii) one or more officers or employees of the Company; (iii) any attorney, independent accountant, appraiser or other expert or
professional employed or engaged by or on behalf of the Company; or (iv) any other Person selected in good faith by or on behalf of the Company, in each case as to matters that such relying Person reasonably believes to be within such other
Person’s professional or expert competence. The preceding sentence shall in no way limit any Person’s right to rely on information to the extent provided in § 18-406 of the Act. 

Section 7.12 Liabilities and Duties of the Managers. 

(a) This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on any Manager. Furthermore, each of the Members and
the Company hereby waives any and all fiduciary duties that, absent such waiver, may be implied by the Act or other applicable law, and in doing so, acknowledges and agrees that the duties and obligations of each Manager to each other and to the
Company are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Manager otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such
other duties and liabilities of such Manager. 
 (b) Whenever in this Agreement a Manager is permitted or required to make a decision
(including a decision that is in such Manager’s “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude), the Manager shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as such Manager desires, including its own
interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or any other Person. Whenever in this Agreement a Manager is permitted or required to make a decision in such
Manager’s “good faith,” the Manager shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement, the Act or any other applicable law. 

  
 15 







 Section 7.13 Indemnification. 

(a) Subject to the limitations and conditions as provided in this Section 7.13, 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, investigative or arbitrative or in the nature of an alternative dispute resolution in lieu of any of the
foregoing (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 such Person, or a Person of which such Person is the legal
representative, is or was a Member or a Manager or a representative thereof, shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter 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 law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment) against all liabilities and expenses (including judgments,
penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), losses, fines, settlements and reasonable and documented expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ and experts’ fees)) actually
incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding, appeal, inquiry or investigation (each a “Loss”), unless such Loss shall have been primarily the result of gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct by the Person
seeking indemnification hereunder, in which case such indemnification shall not cover such Loss to the extent resulting from such gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct. Indemnification under this Section 7.13 shall continue as to a
Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such Person to indemnity hereunder. The rights granted pursuant to this Section 7.13 shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this
Section 7.13 shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to actions taken or Proceedings, appeals, inquiries or investigations arising prior to any amendment, modification or repeal. To the fullest extent permitted
by law, no Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.13 shall be liable to the Company or any Member for any act or omission performed or omitted by or on behalf of the Company; provided that such act or omission has not been
fully adjudicated to constitute fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. In addition, any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.13 may consult with legal counsel selected with reasonable care and shall incur no liability
to the Company or any Member to the extent that such Person acted or refrained from acting in good faith in reliance upon the opinion or advice of such counsel. 

(b) The right to indemnification conferred in Section 7.13(a) shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Company for the
reasonable and documented expenses incurred by a Person entitled to be indemnified under Section 7.13(a) who may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by any such
Person in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of a written undertaking by such Person to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable judgment that such indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 7.13 or otherwise. 

(c) The Company, with Manager Approval, may indemnify and advance expenses to an employee or agent of the Company to the same extent and
subject to the same conditions under which it may indemnify and advance expenses to a Member under Sections 7.13(a) and 7.13(b). 

  
 16 







 (d) The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this
Section 7.13 shall not be exclusive of any other right that a Member or other Person indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.13 may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory) or provision of this Agreement. 

(e) The indemnification rights provided by this Section 7.13 shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators,
successors, and assigns of each Person indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.13. 
 Section 7.14 Certain Tax Matters. 

(a) SLR shall be the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code and, if applicable, under any
similar state or local law (the “Partnership Representative”), and shall have the exclusive authority to appoint and designate the individual through whom such Partnership Representative will act for all purposes under subchapter C
of chapter 63 of the Code and, if applicable, any similar state or local law (the “Designated Individual”). All references to the Partnership Representative herein shall include the Designated Individual, unless the context requires
otherwise. Each Member expressly consents to such designation and agrees that, upon request, it will execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such
appointment and designation. The Partnership Representative will be reimbursed by the Company for all costs and expenses incurred by it, and indemnified by the Company with respect to any action brought against it, in its capacity as the Partnership
Representative; provided that such action does not arise from or otherwise is attributable to gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Partnership Representative. The Partnership Representative shall have any powers necessary to perform fully
in such capacity, and shall be permitted to take any and all actions, to the extent permitted by law, in consultation with the Sunstone Member. Any and all actions taken by the Partnership Representative shall be binding on the Company. The
provisions of this Section 7.14(a) shall survive the liquidation and dissolution of the Company and the transfer, liquidation or withdrawal of any Member’s interests. 

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Member agrees to (i) provide such cooperation and assistance, including executing and
filing forms or other statements and providing information about the Member, as is reasonably requested by the Partnership Representative to enable the Company to satisfy any applicable tax reporting, compliance or withholding requirements, to make
any tax election or to qualify for an exception from or reduced rate of tax or other tax benefit or be relieved of liability for any tax regardless of whether such requirement, tax benefit or tax liability existed on the date such Member was
admitted to the Company, (ii) take into account any adjustments and pay any taxes, interest and penalties that result from an election by the Company under Section 6226 of the Code, as amended by the BBA, and/or (iv) indemnify and
hold harmless the Company from and against any liability with respect to the Member’s share of any tax deficiency (including any interest and penalties associated therewith) paid or payable by the Member that is allocable to such Member (as
reasonably determined by the Managers in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to an audited or reviewed taxable year for which such Member was a Member of the Company. Each Member’s obligations under this Section 7.14(b) shall
survive the transfer, liquidation or withdrawal of such Member’s interests. 

  
 17 







 (c) If the Company receives from any U.S. taxing authority a written notice of any proposed
adjustment under Section 6231(a)(1) of the Code (or similar provision of state or local law) that the Managers reasonably believe may result in a material tax burden to a Member, the Managers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide
notice of such proposed adjustment (and any material developments in connection with such proposed adjustment) to the Members. 
 (d) The
Managers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any “imputed underpayment” (within the meaning of Section 6225 of the Code) of the Company to be determined by reference to all relevant reductions to such payment pursuant
to Section 6225(c)(3) and (4) of the Code. The Managers confirm that any actual reduction in the imputed underpayment of the Company pursuant to Section 6225(c)(3) or (4) by reason of the status of a Member shall inure to the
benefit of such Member in determining such Member’s tax liability (and corresponding reduction in distributions) corresponding to such payment. 

(e) The Managers agree that they shall use reasonable best efforts to conduct the investment activities and other activities of the Company in
a manner that would not cause a Limited Partner who is (or whose beneficial owners are) a non-U.S. person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, to earn any income or gain or incur any
loss that would be considered “... effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States...” for purposes of Section 864(c) of the Code. 

ARTICLE 8 TRANSFERS OF COMPANY INTERESTS; 

WITHDRAWALS 

Section 8.1 Transfers by Members. 

(a) The interest of a Member in the Company may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise hypothecated without Manager Approval, provided, that, a
Member shall be permitted to transfer some or all of its interests in the Company to one or more entities controlled by such Member without Manager Approval. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 8.1(a) shall be void ab
initio. 
 (b) In connection with the permitted transfer of any equity in the Company, each transferee shall execute a joinder to this
Agreement in the form as determined by the Managers. Upon execution of such joinder by the transferee, the transferring Member shall be released from all rights, obligations, and liabilities arising from and after the date thereof with respect to
the transferred interest, including the right to vote on any matters relating to the Company. Upon such a transfer, the transferee shall assume the economic obligations and liabilities (and all economic rights and benefits) of the transferring
Member with respect to such transferred interest and as applicable shall become a party to this Agreement and be treated as Member hereunder. 

(c) As additional conditions to the validity of any transfer of a Member’s interest, such transfer shall not: 

  
 18 







 (i) cause the securities issued by the Company to be required to be registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction; 
 (ii) cause the Company to
cease to be entitled to the exemption from the definition of an “investment company” pursuant to Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; 

(iii) be to a person which is an ERISA Plan (unless the other Member waives in writing the application of this clause
(iii) with respect to such transfer); 
 (iv) cause the Company or the other Member to be in violation of, or effect an
assignment to a Person that is in violation of, applicable Investor Laws; or 
 (v) cause the Company to be treated as a
publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 
 Section 8.2 Withdrawal by Members.

 Members may withdraw from the Company only as provided by this Agreement. 

(a) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, if a Member shall obtain an opinion of counsel to the effect that, as a
result of the other Members’ ownership of an interest in the Company, the Company would be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, such other Member shall, upon written notice from such first Member,
withdraw from or reduce (in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) below) its interest in the Company (including its Capital Commitment) to the extent such first Member has determined, based upon such opinion of counsel, to be necessary
in order for the Company not to be required to so register. Each Member shall, upon written request from any of the other Members, promptly furnish to the other Members such information as the other Members may reasonably request from time to time
in order to make a determination pursuant to this Section 8.2(a), but in no event later than ten (10) business days after such request. 

(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if a Member shall breach such Member’s obligation under the immediately
following sentence, or if any of the other Members shall obtain an opinion of counsel to the effect that any contribution or payment by a Member to the Company would cause the Company or the other Member to be in violation of, or to the effect that
such Member is in violation of, the United States Bank Secrecy Act, the United States Money Laundering Act of 1986, the United States International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001, the USA Patriot Act or any other
law or regulation to which the Company, a Member, or such Member’s investment in the Company may be subject from time to time (collectively, “Investor Laws”), such Member shall, upon written notice from any of the other
Members, withdraw from the Company in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) below. Each Member shall, upon written request from the other Members, promptly furnish to the other Members such information as the other Members may reasonably
request from time to time in order to make a determination pursuant to this Section 8.2(b), but in no event later than ten (10) business days after such request. 

  
 19 







 (c) If a Member partially or fully withdraws its interest in the Company pursuant to this
Section 8.2, the Members shall work together in good faith to negotiate the manner and timing of such withdrawal. Subject to the foregoing, a Member withdrawing its interest pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall receive, in full payment for
such withdrawn interest, the portion of the Capital Account attributable to such withdrawn interest (based on the then current Value of the Company). 

ARTICLE 9 TERM, DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION OF COMPANY 

Section 9.1 Term. Except as provided in Section 9.2, the Company shall continue without dissolution until all Investments are
liquidated by the Company. Upon liquidation or termination of all Investments by the Company, any Member shall have the right to elect the dissolution of the Company by providing written notice to the other Members. 

Section 9.2 Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following
events: 
 (a) the expiration of the term of the Company pursuant to Section 9.1; 

(b) a determination by the SEC to subject SLR’s participation in the Company to an accounting or reporting treatment or other consequence
which SLR, in its sole discretion, determines to be materially adverse to it, at the election of SLR by providing written notice of such election to the other Members, and in such case the Members shall work together in good faith regarding the
timing and manner of such dissolution; or 
 (c) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution pursuant to the Act, in which event the
provisions of Section 9.3, as modified by said decree, shall govern the winding up of the Company’s affairs. 
 Section 9.3
Wind-down. 
 (a) Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Company shall be liquidated in accordance with this Article and the Act.
The liquidation shall be conducted and supervised by the Members in the same manner provided by Article 6 with respect to the operation of the Company during its term; provided that in the case of a dissolution and winding up of the Company pursuant
to Section 9.2(b), the Member that elects such dissolution and winding up may elect further, by written notice to the other Members, to exercise as liquidating agent all of the rights, powers and authority with respect to the assets and
liabilities of the Company in connection with the liquidation of the Company, to the same extent as the Members would have during the term of the Company. 

(b) From and after the date on which an event set forth in Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Company shall cease to make Investments
after that date, except for (i) Investments which the Company was committed to make in whole or in part (e.g., investments for which the Company has submitted a binding or non-binding bid or indication of
interest) on or before such effective date, and (ii) at the election of all Members exercised by Member Approval within three (3) business days after receipt by the Members of written notice of the availability of such election from any
Member, any Investment in a Portfolio Company in which the Company then has an Investment in which the Company participates. Capital calls against the Capital Commitment of 

  
 20 







 
the Members shall cease from and after such effective date of dissolution; provided that capital calls against the Capital Commitment of the Members may continue to fund the allocable share of
Investments in which the Company continues to participate (as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence), Expenses and all other obligations of the Company including, for the avoidance of doubt, protective advances required under the
Investments. Subject to the foregoing, the Members shall continue to bear an allocable share of Expenses and other obligations of the Company until all Investments in which the Company participates are repaid or otherwise disposed of in the normal
course of the Company’s activities. 
 (c) Distributions to the Members during the winding down of the Company shall be made no less
frequently than quarterly to the extent consisting of a Member’s allocable share of cash and cash equivalents, after taking into account reasonable reserves deemed appropriate by Manager Approval (or in the event of a dissolution and winding up
of the Company pursuant to Section 9.2(b), by a Member that has elected to act as liquidating agent pursuant to Section 9.3(a)), to fund Investments in which the Company continues to participate (as set forth in the immediately preceding
paragraph), Expenses and all other obligations (including, without limitation, contingent obligations) of the Company. A Member shall remain a member of the Company until all Investments in which the Company participates are repaid or otherwise
disposed of, the Member’s allocable share of all Expenses and all other obligations (including, without limitation, contingent obligations) of the Company are paid, and all distributions are made hereunder, at which time the Member shall have
no further rights under this Agreement. 
 (d) Upon dissolution of the Company, final allocations of all items of Company Profit and Loss
shall be made in accordance with Section 5.2. Upon dissolution of the Company, the assets of the Company shall be applied in the following order of priority: 

(i) To creditors (other than Members) in satisfaction of liabilities of the Company (whether by payment or by the making of
reasonable provision for payment thereof), including to establish any reasonable reserves which a Member may, in its reasonable judgment, deem necessary or advisable for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liability of the Company; 

(ii) To establish any reserves which a Member may, in its reasonable judgment, deem necessary or advisable for any contingent,
conditional or unmatured liability of the Company to Members; and 
 (iii) The balance, if any, to the Members in accordance
with Section 6.1(b). 
 (e) If SLR elects to purchase all of the Sunstone Member’s interest in the Company pursuant to
Section 3.2(a) or Section 3.4(a), the purchase price for such interest shall be payable in U.S. dollars within ninety (90) days after the election to purchase is delivered to the Sunstone Member, and shall be equal to the then current
Value; provided, however, to the extent the Sunstone Member does not agree with such Value, the Company shall engage a third-party valuation service provider to provide a value for the Sunstone Member’s membership interest in the Company, and
the Sunstone Member shall be liable for all fees, costs and expenses owed to such third-party valuation service provider in connection therewith. After any such purchase, the Sunstone Member shall no longer be a Member of the Company, and SLR may
dissolve or continue the Company as it may determine in its sole discretion. 

  
 21 







 (f) In the event that an audit or reconciliation relating to the Fiscal Year in which a Member
receives a distribution under this Section 9.3 reveals that such Member received a distribution in excess of that to which such Member was entitled, each of the other Members may, in its discretion, seek repayment of such distribution to the
