executing a counterpart to this Agreement. The Special Member shall automatically cease to be a member of the Company upon the
admission to the Company of a substitute member. The Special Member shall be a member of the Company that has no interest in the
profits, losses and capital of the Company and has no right to receive any distributions of Company assets. Pursuant to Section

a limited liability company interest in the Company. A Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, may not bind the Company.
Except as required by any mandatory provision of the Act, a Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, shall have no right
to vote on, approve or otherwise consent to any action by, or matter relating to, the Company, including, without limitation, the
merger, consolidation or conversion of the Company. In order to implement the admission to the Company of the Special Member, each
of Springing Member 1 and Springing Member 2 shall execute a counterpart to this Agreement. Prior to its admission to the Company
as Special Member, neither Michael L. Konig nor Jordan B. Ruddy shall be a member of the Company.

a counterpart to this Agreement. In the event of a vacancy in the position of Springing Member 1 or Springing Member 2, the Member
shall, as soon as practicable, appoint a successor Springing Member to fill such vacancy. By signing this Agreement, a springing
member agrees that, should such Springing Member become a Special Member, such springing member will be subject to and bound by
the provisions of this Agreement applicable to a Special Member.
