 Section 4.06
Exculpation. 
 (a) No Indemnified Party shall be liable to any Member or the Company for any costs, losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, expenses (including reasonable legal and other professional fees and disbursements), judgments, fines or settlements (collectively, “Indemnified Losses”) arising out of, related to or in connection with any act
or omission of such Indemnified Party taken, or omitted to be taken, in connection with the Company or this Agreement, except for any Indemnified Losses arising out of, related to or in connection with any act or omission that is Judicially
Determined to be primarily attributable to the bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of such Indemnified Party. In addition, no Indemnified Party shall be liable to any Member or the Company for any Indemnified Losses arising out
of, related to or in connection with any act or omission taken, or omitted to be taken, by any broker or agent of the Company if such broker or agent was selected, engaged or retained by such Indemnified Party directly or on behalf of the Company in
accordance with the standard of care set forth above. Any Indemnified Party may consult with counsel, accountants, investment bankers, financial advisers, appraisers and other specialized, reputable, professional consultants in respect of affairs of
the Company and be fully protected and justified in any action or inaction that is taken in accordance with the advice or opinion of such Persons; provided, that such Persons shall have been selected in accordance with the standard of care
set forth above. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 4.06 shall not be construed
so as to provide for the exculpation of any Indemnified Party for any liability (including liability under Federal securities laws which, under certain circumstances, impose liability even on Persons that act in good faith), to the extent (but only
to the extent) that such liability may not be waived, modified or limited under applicable law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate the provisions of this Section 4.06 to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

Section 4.07 Indemnification. 

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all
Indemnified Losses suffered or sustained by such Indemnified Party by reason of any act, omission or alleged act or omission arising out of, related to or in connection with the Company or this Agreement, or any and all Proceedings in which an
Indemnified Party may be involved, as 

  
 19 








 
a party or otherwise, arising out of, related to or in connection with such Indemnified Party’s service to or on behalf of, or management of the affairs or assets of, the Company, or which
relate to the Company, except for any Indemnified Losses that are Judicially Determined to be primarily attributable to the bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of such Indemnified Party. The Company shall also indemnify and hold
harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Losses suffered or sustained by such Indemnified Party by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions of any broker or agent of the Company; provided,
that such broker or agent was selected, engaged or retained by such Indemnified Party directly or on behalf of the Company in accordance with the standard of care set forth above. The termination of a Proceeding by settlement or upon a plea of
nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such Indemnified Party’s acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions were primarily attributable to the bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct
or fraud of such Indemnified Party. Expenses (including legal and other professional fees and disbursements) incurred in any Proceeding may, with the consent of the Investment Manager, be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of
such Proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized hereunder.
If for any reason (other than the bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of such Indemnified Party, as set forth above) the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to such Indemnified Party, or insufficient to hold it harmless,
then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Indemnified Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the
Indemnified Party on the other hand or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law or regulation, to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also any other relevant equitable considerations. 

(b) The rights accruing to any Indemnified Party under the indemnification provisions shall not exclude any other right to which such
Indemnified Party may be lawfully entitled and shall survive the termination of such Indemnified Party in any capacity relating to the Company. 

(c) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 4.07 shall not be construed so as to provide for
the indemnification of any Indemnified Party for any liability (including liability under Federal securities laws which, under certain circumstances, impose liability even on Persons that act in good faith), to the extent (but only to the extent)
that such indemnification would be in violation of applicable law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate the provisions of this Section 4.07 to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

Section 4.08 Management Fee; Payment of Certain Costs and Expenses. 

(a) The Investment Manager shall be entitled to receive a fee for investment management services in the amount set forth in the Management
Agreement (the “Management Fee”). The Investment Manager may, in its discretion, reduce, waive or calculate differently the Management Fee charged to certain Members, including, without limitation, Members that are Related
Investors, so long as such reduction, waiver or calculation does not result in a preferential dividend under Section 562(c) of the Code. 

  
 20 








 (b) Except as provided herein, the Investment Manager shall be responsible for the expenses of
their respective operations, including rent, salaries, furniture and fixtures, and other office equipment.

Manager may be reimbursed by the Company during the three year period that such limit is in place, provided that no reimbursement payment will be made that would cause the Company’s expenses to exceed the same limit. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, extraordinary expenses (including, but not limited to, litigation expenses, indemnification expenses, lender liability expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s business), the Management Fee,
the Incentive Fee, interest expenses, financing costs and expenses, reserves for and costs associated with determining current expected credit losses, loan servicing fees and expenses, and other fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
acquisition, disposition, ownership and operation of the Portfolio Investments shall not be included as Company Expenses for purposes of calculating the foregoing expense limit. 

(e) Generally, Company Expenses (other than any expenses that the Company determines in its sole discretion should be reflected in the Net
Asset Value of the Units held by a particular Member or Member), shall be reflected in the Net Asset Value of Units of all Members on a pro rata basis. To the extent that Company Expenses are borne by the Investment Manager or its Affiliates, the
Company shall reimburse such party for such expenses. 

  
 22 








 (f) If any of the expenses listed in Section 4.08(c) are incurred jointly for the account of
the Company and any Other Accounts, such expenses shall be allocated among the Company and such Other Accounts in proportion to the size of the investment made by each to which such expense relates, or in such other manner as the Investment Manager
considers fair and equitable. 
 (g) Any transaction or similar fees (such as acquisition, disposition, financing or other similar fees, but
not including servicing fees) from third parties (“Transaction Fees”) shall be paid to the Company (and thereby reflected in the Net Asset Value of Units held by all of the Members on a pro rata basis), subject to compliance with
the REIT qualification requirements. The Company may retain the Investment Manager and/or one or more Affiliates of the Investment Manager to perform and receive fees for asset management, leasing, construction management, loan servicing, special
servicing or other similar services, which fees will not cause a reduction in the Management Fee or otherwise be deemed to constitute Transaction Fees, if the Company believes that the Investment Manager or its Affiliates can provide such services
more effectively and at a cost that is comparable to prevailing market rates for such services. 
 (h) For the avoidance of doubt, each
Member shall be solely responsible for its own legal and tax counsel and any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its investment in the Company. 

Section 4.09 Incentive Fee. 

(a) At the end of each calendar quarter, the Investment Manager shall be entitled to receive an incentive fee (the “Incentive
Fee”) equal to the difference between (x) the product of (A) 15% and (B) the difference between (1) Core Earnings of the Company for the most recent 12 month period (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters, if
applicable), and (2) the product of (I) the weighted average of the Company’s Net Asset Value of the three previous calendar quarters (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters, if applicable) and the Company’s Net
Asset Value as of the beginning of the then current calendar quarter, and (II) 6% per annum, and (y) the sum of the Incentive Fee previously paid to the Investment Manager with respect to the first three calendar quarters of the most recent 12
month period (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters, if applicable); provided, that no Incentive Fee shall be payable to the Investment Manager with respect to any calendar quarter unless the Core Earnings for the twelve
(12) most recently completed calendar quarters (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters following the Initial Closing Date) is greater than zero. The Incentive Fee shall be prorated for partial periods, to the extent
necessary, based on the number of days elapsed or remaining in such periods as the case may be. Unless otherwise determined by the Investment Manager, the Company’s Net Asset Value at the beginning of a calendar quarter for purposes of
this Incentive Fee calculation shall be equal to the Company’s Net Asset Value as of the end of the previous calendar quarter as increased by Capital Contributions and decreased by repurchases. 

(b) For purposes of the foregoing, “Core Earnings” means the net income (loss) attributable to the holders of Units, computed
in accordance with GAAP, including realized gains and losses not otherwise included in net income (loss), and excluding (i) the Incentive Fee, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) any unrealized


  
 23 








 
gains or losses or other similar non-cash items that are included in net income for the Applicable Period, regardless of whether such items are included in
other comprehensive income or loss or in net income and (iv) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain material non-cash income or expense items, in
each case after discussions between the Investment Manager and the Board and approved by a majority of the Board. 
 (c) For the avoidance of
doubt, the Investment Manager shall also be entitled to receive an Incentive Fee with respect to any Units that are repurchased at the end of any calendar quarter (in connection with repurchases of such Units pursuant to the Repurchase Plan) in an
amount calculated as described above with the relevant period being the portion of the calendar quarter for which such Unit was outstanding, and proceeds for any such Unit repurchase shall be reduced by the amount of any such Incentive Fee. 

(d) In the sole discretion of the Company, the Incentive Fee may be waived, reduced or calculated differently with respect to the Units held by
certain Members, including, without limitation, a Related Investor, so long as such waiver, reduction or calculation does not result in a preferential dividend under Section 562(c) of the Code. 

Section 4.10 Principal Transactions and Other Related Party Transactions of the Company. Each Member hereby authorizes the
Investment Manager, on behalf of such Member, to select one or more Persons, who shall not be an Affiliate of the Investment Manager, to serve on a committee at the Company level, the purpose of which shall be to consider on behalf of the Members
and approve or disapprove, to the extent required by applicable law or deemed advisable by the Investment Manager, principal transactions, certain other related party transactions and certain other transactions and matters involving potential
conflicts of interest. In no event shall any such transaction be entered into unless it complies with applicable law. Each Member acknowledges that such committee may approve of such transactions prior to or contemporaneous with, or ratify such
transactions subsequent to, the consummation of such transactions and that the actions of the committee shall bind the Members and the Company. In no event shall any such transaction be entered into unless it complies with applicable law. The
Person(s) so selected may be exculpated and indemnified by the Company in the same manner and to the same extent as the Investment Manager is so exculpated and indemnified. 

Section 4.11 Assignment of Investment Advisory Contract. Without the consent of a Majority of the Nonaffiliated Members, the
Company may not enter into any transaction, with respect to this Agreement or any investment advisory contract between the Company and the Investment Manager, that would constitute an “assignment” as such term is defined under the Advisers
Act.

 ARTICLE V 

Capital Commitments; Lock-Up Period; Commitment Period; Capital Calls; Defaults 

Section 5.01 Capital Commitments. 

(a) The Capital Commitment of each Member shall be the amount of cash such Member has agreed to contribute pursuant to its Subscription
Agreement, as may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Closings shall be held as of the end of a calendar quarter, subject to the Company’s discretion to hold Closings at any other time. 

(b) Each Member is irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to fund its Capital Commitment in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, in each case, without any set-off, defense or reduction. 

Section 5.02 Lock-Up Period; Commitment Period. 

(a) Each Capital Commitment made by a Member at a Closing shall have its own Lock-Up Period. Upon the
expiration of a Member’s Lock-Up Period, such Member may choose to be released from its Remaining Commitment, subject to certain Post Commitment Period Obligations. 

(b) Each Capital Commitment (or a portion thereof, as applicable) of a Member shall last until (i) the Company determines to repurchase
all or any portion of such Member’s Units that are attributable to such Capital Commitment (or such portion thereof, as applicable), in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (which for the avoidance of doubt,
shall not become available pursuant to a Member’s repurchase request until the expiration of the Lock-Up Period), (ii) such Member has chosen to be released from its Remaining Commitments after the
expiration of its Lock-Up Period (except with respect to Post Commitment Period Obligations) or (iii) the Company has elected to wind up (the “Commitment Period”).

(c) During the applicable Commitment Period for a Member, such Member shall be required to purchase Units for funding drawdowns up to the
amount of its Remaining Commitment, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Following the Commitment Period for a Member, such Member shall be released from any further obligation with respect to its Remaining
Commitment (and will thereby be released from any further obligation to purchase Units), except to the extent necessary to: (i) cover the expenses or other obligations or liabilities of the Company, including the Management Fee;
(ii) complete investments by the Company in respect of transactions in process prior to the end of the Commitment Period; (iii) make follow-on investments; (iv) repay borrowings; (v) make
investments for purposes of protecting or enhancing the value of an investment; and (vi) satisfy guarantees or other obligations of the Company, including the Company’s indemnification obligations (whether incurred before or after the
Commitment Period) ((i)-(vi) above shall be referred to herein as a “Post Commitment Period Obligation”). 

  
 25 








 (d) For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a Member submits a request for the Company to
repurchase a portion of such Member’s Units, the Commitment Period shall continue in the ordinary course in respect of the remaining portion of the Capital Commitment for which such Member has not submitted a repurchase request. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Member whose Units are repurchased by the Company as set forth in this
Agreement shall not be required to fund its Remaining Commitment with respect to such Units. 
 Section 5.03 Capital
Contributions. 
 (a) Each Member shall be required to make a Capital Contribution to the Company for the purchase of Units up to
an aggregate amount equal to such Member’s Remaining Commitment from time to time, as provided in this Section 5.03. Subject to the Act, no Member shall be obligated to make any additional Capital Contributions for the purchase of Units in
excess of such Member’s Remaining Commitment. No Member shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contributions. All payments by the Members to the Company pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall be made in US dollars and other immediately
available funds denominated in US dollars. 
 (b) Each Member’s Remaining Commitment shall be paid to the Company to make investments,
and at the Company’s discretion, to pay Company Expenses (without duplication) from time to time, in each case, in such amounts (the “Capital Call Amounts”) and on such dates as shall be specified by the Company upon at least
five (5) Business Days’ written notice (the “Capital Call Notice”), by the Company, which notice shall be delivered by facsimile, electronic transmission, Federal Express or other overnight courier. The duration of the
Capital Call Notice may be extended by the Company with respect to certain Members, as determined in the sole discretion of the Company. Capital calls (other than those that include calls for Post Commitment Period Obligations) for the purchase of
Units by Members shall generally be made by the Company pro rata based on the Capital Commitments of the Members that are still within their respective Commitment Periods (each, a “Capital Call”). Capital Calls to fund a Post
Commitment Period Obligation shall generally be made pro rata based on each Member’s share (which shall include Members currently in their respective Commitment Periods for any common investments or Company Expenses) of such Post Commitment
Period Obligation, as determined by the Company (each, a “Post Commitment Period Capital Call”). 
 (c) If either a Capital
Call or a Post Commitment Period Capital Call to purchase Units exceeds a Member’s Remaining Commitment (such excess, the “Commitment Shortfall”), the Company shall generally call the full amount of such Member’s Remaining
Commitment, and the Company shall generally increase the Capital Calls or the Post Commitment Period Capital Calls, as applicable, to the other Members by an amount equal to the Commitment Shortfall, which amount shall be called pro rata in
accordance with such other Members’ Capital Commitments. If one or more Commitment Shortfalls arise due to the increase to cover the first Commitment Shortfall, the same methodology shall be used to determine the amount to be called from each
Member. 

  
 26 








 (d) Any amounts contributed by the Members to the Company as Capital Contributions and not
invested or otherwise employed for Company purposes (including the payment of Company Expenses) may be returned by the Company to the Members who have contributed such amounts pro rata in proportion to the amounts so contributed by the Members and
if returned, will increase the Remaining Commitments of such Members. 
 Section 5.04 Reinvestment Election; Distribution
Election. 
 (a) With respect to each Capital Commitment made by a Member at a Closing, the Member shall be required to either
(i) opt into to the Reinvestment Plan of the Company, as described in the Memorandum (the “Reinvestment Plan,” and any such opt in, a “Reinvestment Election”), whereby the Member shall have its Current Income
distributions automatically withheld and reinvested into the Company (with additional Units of the Company corresponding to such reinvestment being issued to such Member), or (ii) opt out of the Reinvestment Plan (any such opt out, a
“Distribution Election”), in each case, as elected in the Subscription Agreement of such Member. Any Member that does not make any such election in its Subscription Agreement shall, by default, be deemed to have made a Distribution
Election. 
 (b) A Member may elect to change its election from a Distribution Election to a Reinvestment Election (and vice-versa) by
providing written notice to the Company no later than September 30th in any given Fiscal Year, to go into effect for the following Fiscal Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, accept such written
notices on a later date. Such election may only be revoked prior to September 30th of such Fiscal Year unless otherwise determined by the Company. A Member who provides timely notice in a Fiscal Year to change its election from a Reinvestment
Election to a Distribution Election for the upcoming Fiscal Year shall not receive Current Income distributions for income generated during the fourth calendar quarter as the amount of such distributions shall be reflected in the Net Asset Value per
Unit as of the date of the change in election. Accordingly, the first applicable distribution or reinvestment of Current Income (as applicable) with respect to such Member will not reflect such Member’s election change. 

(c) The Company shall confirm to each Member each distribution or reinvestment of Current Income (as applicable) made pursuant to the
Reinvestment Plan as soon as practicable following the date of such distribution or reinvestment of Current Income. With respect to Units that are subject to a reduced Management Fee, such reduced Management Fee shall attach and apply to any
corresponding Units issued pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan. Expenses for administering the Reinvestment Plan shall be paid for by the Company. The Reinvestment Plan may be terminated by the Company upon notice in writing mailed to each Member at
least thirty (30) days prior to the effectiveness of such termination. The Company shall at all times act in good faith and use its best efforts within reasonable limits to ensure the full and timely performance of all services to be performed
pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan and to comply with applicable law, but assumes no responsibility and shall not be liable for loss or damage due to errors. 

  
 27 








 (d) With respect to any Member that submits a request for the Company to repurchase all of such
Member’s Units that are attributable to its Capital Commitment, such Member shall be automatically be deemed to have made a Distribution Election with respect to such Capital Commitment. 

Section 5.05 Automatic Payments and Funding Accounts. 

(a) Upon making a Capital Commitment as of the applicable Closing, each Bernstein Member shall agree in its Subscription Agreement to fund all
of such Capital Commitment to an investment account of such Bernstein Member that is administered by the Investment Manager or its affiliates and that has been designated by the Bernstein Member as a funding account with respect to the Company (such
account, the “Funding Account”). A Bernstein Member’s Funding Account shall be used to fund the Capital Calls related to its Capital Commitment(s). As Capital Calls are made, the Funding Account shall automatically fund, on
behalf of each Bernstein Member, an amount equal to the Capital Call made with respect to the Bernstein Member, and such funding by the Funding Account shall be treated as a capital contribution to the Company by the Bernstein Member. Each capital
contribution made by the Funding Account to the Company on behalf of a Bernstein Member shall correspondingly reduce the Remaining Commitment of such Bernstein Member to the Company at the time such capital contribution is made on a dollar-for-dollar basis. A Bernstein Member that has funded a Funding Account shall be notified of capital contributions from the Funding Account to the Company made on its
behalf. 
 (b) Each Bernstein Member shall be responsible for maintaining a balance in their Funding Account in an amount equal to or greater
than their Remaining Commitment. Each Bernstein Member shall be responsible for funding the portion of its Capital Commitment(s) to the Company that are not able to be funded by its Funding Account (if any), including in the event of a shortfall due
to losses in such Funding Account. Accordingly, in the event that there are losses in a Bernstein Member’s Funding Account, such Bernstein Member shall need to have another source of capital to fund its Capital Commitment(s). 

Section 5.06 Defaults. 

(a) If any Member shall fail to contribute all or a portion of any Capital Call Amount as set forth in a Capital Call Notice on or before the
date such Capital Call Amount is required to be contributed, and shall fail to make such payment within five (5) Business Days after written notice of such failure from the Company (such Member being herein referred to as a “Defaulting
Member” and such failure to cure as a “Default”), the Company may, in its discretion, require the remaining Members (the “Non-Defaulting Members”), to fund all or any
portion of the Capital Call Amount that is in Default (the “Open Capital Call Amount”) up to the amount of their respective Remaining Commitment. In the sole discretion of the Company, each
Non-Defaulting Member may have the obligation to fund its pro rata share of the Open Capital Call Amount (except with respect to the Defaulting Member’s Management Fees) in the same ratio as such Non-Defaulting Member’s Remaining Commitment bears to the aggregate Remaining 

  
 28 








 
Commitments of all Non-Defaulting Members; provided, that for any Capital Call Notice made in connection with a Commitment Facility, each Non-Defaulting Member shall have the obligation to fund its pro rata share of the Open Capital Call Amount (except with respect to the Defaulting Member’s Management Fees) in the same ratio as such Non-Defaulting Member’s Remaining Commitment bears to the aggregate Remaining Commitments of all Non-Defaulting Members; provided, further that no Member shall be
required to fund amounts in excess of its Remaining Commitments. 
 (b) If the Company elects not to require the funding of the entire Open
Capital Call Amount or if the Non-Defaulting Members do not fund the entire Open Capital Call Amount for any reason, then the Company shall have the right to: (i) admit to the Company an additional Member
(or Members) for the sole purpose of assuming all or a portion of the Capital Commitment of the Defaulting Member (to the extent of the Open Capital Call Amount not so funded) and all or a portion of the balance of the Remaining Commitment of such
Defaulting Member; (ii) offer to the Non-Defaulting Members the right to increase further their Capital Commitments pro rata in accordance with their Capital Commitments (with the right to increase
proportionately their respective share in the event that one or more Non-Defaulting Members decline such offer), in an aggregate amount equal to the balance of the Remaining Commitment of such Defaulting
Member; and/or (iii) terminate the right of the Defaulting Member to cast votes, give consents or provide or withhold approvals in respect of any matter under this Agreement or the Act. 

(c) In the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, all or a portion of a Defaulting Member’s Units may immediately be forfeited upon
any Default by such Member and in such case the Defaulting Member shall not be entitled to any distributions under this Agreement in respect of such forfeited Units, except as otherwise determined by the Company. In addition, at the discretion of
the Company, the Defaulting Member may be charged an additional amount on the Open Capital Call Amount at the Bloomberg Prime Rate plus two percent (2%) (which amount shall be classified as interest proceeds) from the date such Open Capital Call
Amount was due and payable through the date that full payment for such Open Capital Call Amount is actually made by the Defaulting Member, and to the extent such additional amount is not otherwise paid such additional amount may be deducted from any
distribution to such Defaulting Member. Any such charge collected by the Company shall be allocated to the Non-Defaulting Members based on the number of Units held. 

(d) For so long as the Defaulting Member remains a Defaulting Member, its Units shall not be entitled to share in any increase of the Net Asset
Value of the Company realized after the Default from investments of the Company made prior to such Default; provided that the Units held by such Defaulting Member shall be subject to any decrease of the Net Asset Value of the Company relating to
such investments. Defaulting Members (including Defaulting Members removed as Members) shall not be entitled to any distributions under this Agreement. 

  
 29 








 (e) To the extent permitted by law, each Defaulting Member waives any rights to receive any
payments. Each Defaulting Member (including Defaulting Members removed as Members) shall remain fully liable with respect to its Company obligations, to the extent provided by law, as if such Default had not occurred. Each Defaulting Member shall
also pay to the Company its pro rata portion (based on the aggregate Capital Commitments of all Members immediately prior to the Default by such Defaulting Member or as otherwise provided in this Agreement) of other Company Expenses. The Company
shall have the right, in its discretion, to offset amounts payable by any Defaulting Member pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, Company Expenses and amounts payable under this Section 5.06 against amounts payable by the
Company to such Defaulting Member). 
 (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Defaulting Member agrees to pay on
demand all reasonable losses, costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Company (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses as incurred), if any, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement against such Defaulting
Member sustained as a result of a Default by such Member; it being understood that no such payment shall be treated as a Capital Contribution that reduces such Defaulting Member’s Remaining Commitment and any such payment shall be payable
without regard to such Member’s Capital Commitment and notwithstanding the termination of the Commitment Period. 
 Section 5.07
Valuation of the Company’s Portfolio. 
 (a) In determining the value of a Security or any other asset held by the
Company on a Valuation Date, the Company shall value its portfolio in accordance with the Valuation Policy. To the extent that Securities of the Company are held by the Subsidiaries, the Company shall be able to rely on the valuations of such
Securities provided by the Subsidiaries. In determining the value of a Security or any other asset held by the Subsidiaries on a given date, the Subsidiaries shall value its portfolio in accordance with the Valuation Policy. The Company may delegate
the calculation of the value of the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ assets to the Administrator. 
 (b) All values assigned to
Securities and other assets by the Company pursuant to this Section 5.07 shall be final and conclusive as to all of the Members. 
 (c)
In connection with any Capital Call or Post Commitment Period Capital Call, the per Unit price for the corresponding purchase of Units shall be determined by the Company in accordance with the policies described in this Agreement and the Memorandum.
In particular, in the event that Units are issued as of the first Business Day of a calendar quarter, the per Unit price of such Units shall be equal to the Net Asset Value per Unit established by the Company as of the immediately preceding
Valuation Date (i.e., the last Business Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter). In the event that Units are issued on any day that is not the first Business Day of the calendar quarter, the Company shall use the methods described in this
Agreement and the Memorandum, to the extent reasonably possible, to determine the Net Asset Value per Unit as of such issuance date. 

  
 30 








 Section 5.08 Liabilities. Liabilities shall be determined using GAAP, applied on a
consistent basis; provided, however, that the Company in its sole discretion may provide reserves and holdbacks for estimated accrued expenses, liabilities or contingencies, including general reserves and holdbacks for unspecified
contingencies (even if such reserves or holdbacks are not required by GAAP). 
 Section 5.09 Goodwill. No value shall be placed
on the name or goodwill, if any, of the Company, which shall belong exclusively to the Investment Manager. 
 Section 5.10
Determination by Company of Certain Matters. All matters concerning the valuation of securities and other assets and liabilities of the Company, distributions, and accounting procedures not expressly provided for by the terms of this
Agreement shall be determined by the Company, whose determination shall be final and conclusive as to all of the Members. 
 ARTICLE VI 

Repurchases and Distributions 
 of
Capital; Withdrawals 
 Section 6.01 Repurchases and Distributions in General. 

(a) No Member shall be entitled to (i) receive distributions from the Company, except as provided in Sections 6.05 and 8.03 or
(ii) request repurchases of its Units, except as provided in Section 6.02 or upon the consent of, and upon such terms as may be determined by, the Company in its sole discretion. 

(b) A Member shall cease to be a Member (i) as of the effective date of the repurchase by the Company of all of its Units, (ii) as of
the effective date of the Transfer of all of such Member’s Units in accordance with Section 7.01, or (iii) in the event of the dissolution of the Company, as of the final distribution of the assets of the Company. As of the effective
date of a the Company’s repurchase of a Member’s Units, solely with respect to the repurchase proceeds, the applicable Member shall be considered a creditor of the Company and shall have no rights or obligations with respect to the Company
except that such Member shall (i) have the right to receive, as a creditor, repurchase proceeds and (ii) continue to be bound by the Sections of this Agreement governing the payment of repurchase proceeds, including the right of suspension
of such payment pursuant to Section 6.07(b). 
 Section 6.02 Repurchases of Units. 

(a) As of the last calendar day of the first calendar quarter that occurs after the expiration of the
Lock-Up Period in respect of a Member’s Capital Commitment (the “Initial Repurchase Date”), the Company may offer, and such Member may submit a request for, the Company to repurchase all
or any portion of such Member’s Units that are attributable to such Capital Commitment, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement. Thereafter, as of the last calendar day of each calendar quarter (together with the Initial
Repurchase Date, each a “Repurchase Date”), the Company may offer, and such Member may submit a request for, the Company to repurchase all or any portion of such Member’s Units that are attributable to such Capital Commitment,
subject to the limitations 

  
 31 








 
set forth in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any Member who submits a request for the Company to repurchase all of its Units attributable to a Capital Commitment shall not be subject
to the Reinvestment Plan, but rather shall be deemed to have made a Distribution Election with respect to such Capital Commitment. A Member submitting a partial repurchase request that holds Units subject to different Management Fee rates may elect
which Units it wishes to be subject to such repurchase request. 
 (b) To the extent the Company chooses to repurchase Units on a Repurchase
Date, the Company shall only repurchase such Units as of the opening of such Repurchase Date. In order to have its Units repurchased as of a Repurchase Date, a Members shall be required to submit a repurchase request and required documentation no
later than ninety (90) days prior to the applicable Repurchase Date (the “Repurchase Request Period”). Repurchase requests shall be effected at a repurchase price equal to the transaction price on the applicable Repurchase Date
(which shall generally be equal to the Net Asset Value per Unit calculated as of the end of the calendar quarter applicable to applicable Repurchase Date. 

(c) The total amount of aggregate repurchases of Units from Members as of any Repurchase Date shall be limited to no more than 5% of the
aggregate Net Asset Value of the Units as of such Repurchase Date, subject to increase by the Company as determined in its sole discretion. 

(d) In the event the Company determines to repurchase some but not all of the Units submitted for repurchase during any calendar quarter, Units
submitted for repurchase during such calendar quarter shall be repurchased on a pro rata basis among such Members who submitted a repurchase request with respect to such calendar quarter. All unsatisfied repurchase requests shall roll over and be
automatically resubmitted upon the recommencement of the repurchase plan set forth in this Agreement and such resubmitted repurchase requests shall be satisfied prior to and without taking into account any subsequent repurchase requests (i.e.,
repurchases of Units will be made on a first-in, first-out basis). 

(e) Repurchase requests received after the Repurchase Request Period, shall be executed, at the discretion of the Company, on the next
available Repurchase Date at the repurchase price equal to the transaction price applicable such next available Repurchase Date. 
 (f)
Repurchase requests are irrevocable by the Members upon receipt by the Company, but such irrevocability may be waived in the Company’s sole discretion. 

(g) The Company may waive or reduce the Repurchase Request Period in its sole discretion and/or permit repurchases at other times in its sole
discretion. 
 (h) Repurchase proceeds shall typically be paid within forty-five (45) days after the Repurchase Date. In the event of a
complete repurchase, at least 95% of the amount distributable to the Member shall be paid within forty-five (45) days after the Repurchase Date, and the remaining balance of the distribution shall be paid without


  
 32 








 
interest (although the Company reserves the right to pay interest in its sole discretion) within a reasonable time following the completion of the Company’s audit for the Fiscal Year in
which the repurchase occurs, subject to the right of the Company to establish reasonable reserves in the event that the Company is subject to a contingent liability at the time of the repurchase. 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall not be permitted to repurchase all or any portion
of a Member’s Units if the Company determines that such repurchase would itself cause a REIT qualification issue, cause the assets of the Company to be deemed to be “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code
or violate any other provision of this Agreement. 
 (j) For the avoidance of doubt, while Members may request that the Company repurchase
all or any portion of their Units pursuant to the repurchase plan upon the Company’s offer to repurchase such Units, the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase any Units and may choose to repurchase only some, or even none, of the Units
that have been requested to be repurchased in any particular quarter, as determined in the sole discretion of the Company. 

Section 6.03 Termination of Units. The Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate all or any portion of the Units of any
Member upon at least five (5) days’ prior written notice to such Member, for any reason or no reason; provided, however, if the Company has not otherwise provided notice to terminate the Units of a Member, the Company may not
terminate the Units of such Member who has submitted a request to call a meeting for the purpose of terminating the Company solely for the purpose of preventing such termination. The Member receiving such notice shall be treated for all purposes and
in all respects as a Member who has given notice of repurchase of all or a portion of its Units, as the case may be, under Section 6.02. 

Section 6.04 Death, Disability, etc. of Members. 

(a) The death, disability, incapacity, adjudication of incompetency, termination, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of a Member shall not
dissolve the Company. The legal representatives of a Member shall succeed as assignee to the Member’s Units upon the death, disability, incapacity, adjudication of incompetency, termination, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of such Member,
but shall not be admitted as a substituted Member without the consent of the Company, in its sole discretion. 
 (b) In the event of the
death, disability, incapacity, adjudication of incompetency, termination, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of a Member or if the legal representatives of such Member provide notice of a complete repurchase request by the Member, the Units of
such Member shall be repurchased as of the next occurring Repurchase Date upon at least ninety (90) calendar days’ prior written notice to the Company. Until such repurchase occurs, the Units of such Member shall continue to remain
invested in the Company (and thereby be subject to the risk of investment loss) until the effective date of the repurchase or the earlier termination of the Company. Payment to the legal representatives shall be made on the same terms, and shall be
subject to the same conditions, as set forth in Section 6.02(a) in respect of a repurchase of all of its Units. 

  
 33 








 Section 6.05 Distributions. 

(a) The Company may, in its sole discretion, make distributions in cash or in kind, or in a combination thereof, in connection with the
Company’s repurchase of Units or pursuant to Section 6.03. In each case, the assets to be distributed in kind to any such Member whose Units are being repurchased may be distributed to such Member in such amounts, as determined by the
Company in its sole discretion. Distributions that are made in kind are not required to represent a pro rata portion of the portfolio to the extent that a pro rata distribution is not practicable or is not in the best interest of the
Company (or the remaining Members), in each case, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. Except as set forth in Section 6.05(f), the Company also may, in its sole discretion, make distributions in cash or in kind, or in a
combination thereof, at any time to all of the Members on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Units held by Members. 

(b) The Company may choose, in its sole discretion, which assets of the Company to distribute in kind. If a distribution is made in kind,
immediately prior to such distribution, the Company shall determine the fair value of the assets distributed and adjust the Net Asset Value of the Units held by Members upwards or downwards to reflect the difference between the book value and the
fair value thereof. In-kind distributions may be comprised of, among other things, interests in Special Purpose Vehicles holding the actual investment or participations in the actual investment owned by the
Company or participation notes (or similar derivative instruments), which provide a return with respect to certain Securities of the Company. The holders of interests in a Special Purpose Vehicle shall bear the expenses of such Special Purpose
Vehicle. 
 (c) The provisions of this Section 6.05(a)-(e) shall apply to distributions made in connection with any repurchase of Units
under Article VI and in connection with dissolution pursuant to Article VIII. 
 (d) The Company shall give at least 15 days’ prior
written notice to each Member that is a BHC Member of any proposal to distribute property in-kind to such Member and the proposed date of such distribution, and shall not make any such distribution in-kind to the extent that such BHC Member advises the Company at least five days prior to the date set forth in such notice for such distribution that such distribution
in-kind could reasonably be expected to cause it to violate the BHCA. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company, and the Investment Manager on behalf of the Company, shall not be required to make a distribution to any Member on account of its Units if such distribution would violate the Act or other
applicable law. 

  
 34 








 (f) The Company shall make sufficient distributions to maintain its qualification as a REIT and
retains ultimate discretion on whether to make distributions and the timing thereof. 
 (g) Current Income in respect of a Member may be
reinvested by the Company (pursuant to a Reinvestment Election) or distributed (pursuant to a Distribution Election), in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Distributions made to a Member that
represent a return of capital (and not Current Income) shall increase such Member’s Remaining Commitment, provided that in no event shall a Member’s Remaining Commitment be increased above its Capital Commitment. 

(h) The right of any Member to receive distributions shall be subject to the provision by the Company for all Company liabilities in accordance
with the Act and for estimated accrued expenses, liabilities or contingencies, even if such reserves are not required by U.S. GAAP. 
 (i)
The Company may make distributions to the Members at such times and in such amounts each Fiscal Year in order to qualify as a REIT and to preserve its status as a REIT. 

(j) The Company may withhold from any amounts distributable to any Member any amounts of any tax required to be withheld by the Company in
regard to such Member under the Code or the Regulations or the tax laws of any jurisdiction. Such amounts withheld by the Company shall be treated as a distribution to such Member, including for purposes of Section 4.09, and paid by such Member
to the relevant tax authority. If the Company is required to withhold taxes with respect to any amounts that are not currently distributed to a Member, the Member shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the amount required to be withheld by the
Company. The payment of this amount by the Member to the Company shall not be considered a Capital Contribution. 
 (k) The Company shall use
reasonable efforts to make distributions each year in an amount that will cause the Company’s “dividends paid deduction” (as defined in Section 561 of the Code) to at least equal the Company’s taxable income for the year
(determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction). If there are not sufficient Investment Proceeds to make such distributions, the Company is authorized to take such actions (including a declaration of consent dividends) as the Company
determines is appropriate to cause the dividends paid deduction to equal the Company’s taxable income. Each Member agrees that, upon the request of the Company, it will promptly execute and return to the Company an IRS Form 2848 (Power of
Attorney and Declaration of Representative) to permit the preparation and filing of IRS Form 972 (Consent of Shareholder to Include Specific Amount in Gross Income) on such Member’s behalf. 

Section 6.06 Effective Date of Repurchase. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, the effective date of the
repurchase by the Company of a Member’s Units shall mean the day immediately following: (i) the Repurchase Date in the case of a repurchase pursuant to Section 6.02(a); (ii) the date determined by the Company pursuant to
Section 6.07(c) if a Suspension has been lifted; or (iii) the date determined by the Company if such Member’s Units are subject to termination pursuant to Section 6.03. 

  
 35 








 Section 6.07 Additional Limitations on Repurchases of Units. 

(a) The right of any Member or its legal representatives to request the repurchase of Units and to have distributed to it any such amount (or
any portion thereof) pursuant to this Article VI is subject to the provision by the Company for all Company liabilities in accordance with the Act and for reserves and holdbacks in accordance with Section 5.08. The unused portion of any reserve
shall be distributed to the Members to which the reserve applied, with interest, after the Company shall have determined that the need therefor shall have ceased. 

(b) The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, suspend repurchases of Units, distributions and/or the calculation of its Net Asset
Value (each, a “Suspension”), including, without limitation, as a result of adverse economic or market conditions, tax considerations, or due to adverse business conditions for the Company, the Investment Manager or their respective
Affiliates. For example, a Suspension may occur to effect an orderly liquidation of the Company’s assets necessary to effect repurchase of Units or due to other legal, regulatory or judicial limitations. 

(c) The Company shall provide written notice to each Member of a Suspension. Throughout the entire period of any Suspension, the Management Fee
and the Incentive Fee shall continue to apply and the Members shall continue to be exposed to the investment risks of the Company and subject to the profits and losses thereof. Any Suspension shall take effect at such time as the Company shall
declare and, thereafter, no repurchases of Units or distributions may be made until the Company declares any such Suspension to be at an end. Upon the determination by the Company that the above-mentioned conditions no longer apply with respect to
any Suspension, repurchase and distribution rights shall be promptly reinstated. 
 (d) Without limiting the foregoing, In addition, the
Company may impose a Suspension if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with laws and regulations applicable to the Company, the Investment Manager or any of the Company’s other service providers. 

(e) Units may not be repurchased if such repurchase would result in the Company (i) becoming “closely held” within the meaning
of Section 856(h) of the Code, (ii) becoming a “pension-held REIT” within the meaning of Section 856(h)(3)(D) of the Code, (iii) being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 Persons (as provided in Section 856(a) of
the Code), or (iv) otherwise failing to qualify or maintain its qualification as a REIT under the Code. 
 Section 6.08
Repurchase of Units Held by BHC Members. If at any time, as a result of proposed repurchase of Units with respect to or distributions to other Members, or for any other reason, the Company expects a BHC Member’s Units to equal or exceed
25% of the aggregate Units of all of the Members, the Company shall immediately notify such BHC Member and permit such BHC Member to have its Units repurchased by the Company in such amount as shall be necessary to maintain such BHC Member’s
total investment in the Company at a level below 25% of the aggregate Units of all of the Members. 

  
 36 








 Section 6.09 No Withdrawals. Members may not withdraw from the Company, except
with the prior written consent of the Company. 
 ARTICLE VII 

Transfers of Units 

Section 7.01 Assignability of Units. Members may not make Transfers of Units, in whole or in part, except in accordance
with Section 6.04 or by other operation of law, or in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article VII or otherwise in this Agreement. Each holder of Units agrees and acknowledges that the Units have not been registered
under the Securities Act, and that the Units may not be transferred except in a transaction exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations,
in which case the Investment Manager may require that the Member provide certain supporting evidence regarding satisfaction of this condition (including a legal opinion in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Investment
Manager). Transfers shall not violate any applicable economic sanctions or anti-money laundering laws and must be consistent with the Company’s REIT qualification requirements, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. 

Section 7.02 Substitute Member. No Transferee of Units shall become a Substitute Member unless all of the following conditions
have been satisfied, within such reasonable time period as the Company shall determine: 
 (a) The Transfer is permitted under
Section 7.01; 
 (b) The Company receives a duplicate original of all documents effecting the Transfer from the Transferor to the
Transferee; 
 (c) The Company consents to the admission of the Transferee as a Substitute Member, which consent may be granted or withheld
in the Company’s sole discretion; 
 (d) The Transferee has executed an instrument, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company,
accepting and agreeing to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement; and 
 (e) The Transfer shall not cause the Company to hold
“plan assets” or require the Company to qualify as a “venture capital operating company,” both terms as defined in the Department of Labor Regulation 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101
promulgated under and as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, in order to prevent its assets from being treated as plan assets. 

  
 37 








 Section 7.03 REIT Ownership Concentration Restrictions. 

(a) Units may not be transferred if such transfer would result in the Company (i) becoming “closely held” within the meaning of
Section 856(h) of the Code, (ii) becoming a “pension-held REIT” within the meaning of Section 856(h)(3)(D) of the Code, (iii) being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 Persons (as provided in Section 856(a) of the
Code), or (iv) otherwise failing to qualify or maintain its qualification as a REIT under the Code. 
 (b) If the Company determines
that the commitments or Capital Contributions of a Member is so large that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Company (i) will be deemed to be “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, (ii) will
be deemed to be a “pension-held REIT” within the meaning of Section 856(h)(3)(D) of the Code, or (iii) the Company otherwise fails to qualify or maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company will notify such Member and
provide the Member with appropriate details. Following such notice, such Member may: 
 (i) request the Company to make an
appropriate exemption, but only to the extent such exemption is available in this Agreement and can be made without jeopardizing the qualification of the Company as a REIT, as determined in the judgment of the Company; or 

(ii) assign all or any portion of its Units to a third party whose acquisition of such Units would result in elimination of the
issues related to REIT qualification in a transaction that complies with this Article VII. 
 (c) Units may not be transferred if such
transfer would result in a Person beneficially or constructively owning more than 9.8% by value or number of Units, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding Units of the Company. 

(d) Any such transfer as described in Section 7.03(a), (b) and (c) shall be void ab initio and the Company shall cause such
Units that are in excess of the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.03 to be classified as “Excess Units.” 
 (e) If the
Member has not taken an action under Section 7.03(b) that results, in the judgment of the Company, in elimination of the REIT qualification issues, then the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, upon fifteen (15) days prior
written notice, to do, in its sole discretion, any or all of the following: 
 (i) prohibit the Member from making a Capital
Contribution with respect to any and all future investments and reduce the Member’s Remaining Commitment to any amount greater than or equal to zero; 

(ii) offer to each other Member the opportunity to purchase a portion of the Member’s Units at the fair market value
thereof (such Units may, in the Company’s sole discretion, include all or any portion of the Member’s Remaining Commitment to the Company), provided that, no Member shall be entitled to purchase a percentage of such Units if the Company
determines that such purchase would itself cause a REIT qualification issue or violate any other provision of this Agreement; 

  
 38 








 (iii) offer to any Person the opportunity to purchase, or purchase itself, at the
fair market value thereof, all or any portion of the Member’s Interest that remains after operation of Section 7.03(e)(ii) (such interest may, in the Company’s sole discretion, include all or any portion of the Member’s Remaining
Commitment to the Company); 
 (iv) liquidate all or any portion of the Member’s Units or make a special distribution in
respect of such Units to such Member, in which case such Member’s right to receive future distributions pursuant to Sections 6.05 and 8.03 shall be appropriately adjusted in good faith by the Company and the Company may, in its sole discretion,
choose to distribute cash, cash equivalents and Securities or any combination of the foregoing, in an amount (or having a fair market value) equal to the fair market value of such Units; or 

(v) dissolve and terminate the Company and distribute the Company assets in accordance with Section 8.03. 

(f) In determining the appropriate action to take under this Section 7.03, the Company shall take into consideration the effect of such
action on all of the Members, including those Members that have not caused the Company to consider any of the foregoing actions. 
 (g) The
Company shall be entitled to treat the record owner (on the books of the Company) of any Units as the absolute owner thereof in all respects, and shall incur no liability for distributions of cash or other property made in good faith to such owner
until such time as a written instrument of assignment of such Unit has been received by the Company and recorded on the books of the Company. 

Section 7.04 Excess Units. 

(a) Any Person who acquires or attempts to acquire Units in violation of Section 7.03, or any Person who is a transferee such that Excess
Units result under Section 7.03(d), shall immediately give written notice or, in the event of a proposed or attempted Transfer, shall give at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Company of such event and shall provide to
the Company such other information as the Company may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer or attempted Transfer on the Company’s status as a REIT. 

(b) Upon any purported Transfer that results in Excess Units, such Excess Units shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Excess Unit
Trustee, as trustee of the Excess Unit Trust for the exclusive benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Excess Units so held in trust shall be issued and outstanding Units of the Company. The Purported Beneficial Transferee shall have no rights in
such Excess Units except as provided in this section. 

  
 39 








 (c) Any distributions (whether as dividends, distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up or otherwise) on Excess Units shall be paid to the Excess Unit Trust for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Purported Record Transferee shall receive the lesser of (a) the
amount of any distribution made upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up or (b) the price paid by the Purported Record Transferee for the Units, or if the Purported Record Transferee did not give value for the Units, the market price of the
Units on the day of the event causing the Units to be held in trust. Any such dividend paid or distribution paid to the Purported Record Transferee in excess of the amount provided in the preceding sentence prior to the discovery by the Company that
the Units with respect to which the dividend or distribution was made had been exchanged for Excess Units shall be repaid by the Purported Record Transferee to the Excess Unit Trust for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. 

(d) The Excess Unit Trustee shall be entitled to vote the Excess Units for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary on any matter. Subject to
Delaware law, any vote taken by a Purported Record Transferee prior to the discovery by the Company that the Excess Units were held in trust shall be rescinded ab initio. The owner of the Excess Units shall be deemed to have given an
irrevocable proxy to the Excess Unit Trustee to vote the Excess Units for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. 
 (e) Excess Units
shall be transferable only as provided in this Section 7.04. At the direction of the Company, the Excess Unit Trustee shall transfer the Units held in the Excess Unit Trust to a person whose ownership of the Units shall not violate the
restrictions set forth in Section 7.03. Such transfer shall be made within sixty (60) days after the latest of (x) the date of the Transfer which resulted in such Excess Units and (y) the date the Company determines in good faith
that a Transfer resulting in Excess Units has occurred, if the Company does not receive a notice of such Transfer pursuant to Section 7.03. If such a transfer is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of
the sale shall be payable to the Purported Record Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary. The Purported Record Transferee shall receive the lesser of the price paid by the Purported Record Transferee for the Units or, if the Purported Record
Transferee did not give value for the Units, the market price of the Units on the day of the event causing the Units to be held in trust, and the price received by the Excess Unit Trust from the sale or other disposition of the Units. Any proceeds
in excess of the amount payable to the Purported Record Transferee shall be paid to the Charitable Beneficiary. Prior to any transfer of any Excess Units by the Excess Unit Trustee, the Company must have waived in writing its repurchase rights under
this Agreement. It is expressly understood that the Purported Record Transferee may enforce the non-transferability provisions of this section against the Charitable Beneficiary. 

(f) If any of the foregoing restrictions on transfer of Excess Units is determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court of
competent jurisdiction, then the Purported Record Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Company, to have acted as an agent of the Company in acquiring such Excess Units and to hold such Excess Units on behalf of the Company. 

  
 40 








 (g) Excess Units shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Company, or its designee,
at a price per Unit equal to the lesser of the price per Unit in the transaction that created such Excess Units (or, in the case of a devise, gift or other transaction in which no value was given for such Excess Units, the market price at the time
of such devise, gift or other transaction) and the market price of the Units to which such Excess Units relates on the date the Company, or its designee, accepts such offer (the “Excess Unit Redemption Price”). The Company
shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of ninety (90) days after the later of (x) the date of the Transfer which resulted in such Excess Units and (y) the date the Company determines in good faith that a Transfer
resulting in Excess Units has occurred, if the Company does not receive a notice of such Transfer pursuant to this section but in no event later than a permitted Transfer pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of this section. Unless the
General Partner determines that it is in the interests of the Company to make earlier payments of all of the amount determined as the Excess Unit Redemption Price per Unit in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Excess Unit Redemption Price
may be payable at the option of the Company at any time up to but not later than one year after the date the Company accepts the offer to purchase the Excess Units. In no event shall the Company have an obligation to pay interest to the Purported
Record Transferee.

related to its Units or for purposes of filing such Member’s tax returns) or disclose to any Person, any Confidential Information except to its Authorized Representatives on a need to know basis or as otherwise required by any regulatory
