 Each of the Members is
deemed to have made the Capital Contribution set forth opposite such Member’s name in Exhibit A attached hereto (individually, each a “Capital Contribution,” and collectively, the “Capital
Contributions”). Exhibit A shall be amended from time to time by the LLC to the extent necessary to reflect accurately Capital Contributions or similar events under Section 5.3 making an amendment of Exhibit A

Section 5.1. 
  

	 	5.1.2.	Class of Units 

 There shall be two classes of
Units of LLC Interests. Class A Units shall be granted to investors in the LLC in exchange for money or property other than money, and Class B Units shall be granted by the LLC to certain persons as determined by the Board of Managers, in
exchange for the performance of services. Exhibit A sets forth (i) the name of each Member, (ii) the number of Class A Units held by each Member, (iii) the number of Class B Units held by each Member, and (iv) the
amount of the initial value of each Member’s Capital Contributions to the LLC, if any. 
  

	 	5.1.3.	Class B Units 

 Class B Units shall be available to
issue to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the LLC as determined by the Board of Managers. Class B Units shall be granted solely in exchange for the performance of services, and may be subject to forfeiture, until fully vested, as

Managers is hereby authorized to cause the LLC from time to time to issue to Members or other Persons (who, upon such issuance and the execution by such Persons of such documents as the Board of Managers deems necessary or appropriate to evidence
such Persons’ agreement to be admitted as a Member and to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall automatically become Members) additional LLC Interests for such consideration and in one or more classes, or one or more
series of any such classes, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties, including rights, powers and duties senior to the then-existing LLC Interests, all as shall be

 A separate Capital Account shall
be established and maintained for each Member in all events in accordance with the Tax Allocations Addendum attached hereto as Addendum II and by this reference incorporated herein. 
  

	 	5.5.	Negative Capital Accounts 

 No Member shall be
required to pay to the LLC or to any other Member any deficit or negative balance which may exist from time to time in such Member’s Capital Account. 
  

	 	5.6.	No Interest on Capital Contributions or Capital Accounts 

 No Member shall be entitled to receive any interest on its Capital Contributions or its outstanding Capital Account balance. 
  

	 	5.7.	Advances to LLC 

 Members may advance funds to the
LLC in excess of the amounts required hereunder to be contributed by them to the capital of the LLC only with the consent of the Board of Managers. Any such approved advances by a Member shall not result in any increase in the amount of such
Member’s Capital Account or entitle it to any increase in the Percentage Interest represented by such Member’s LLC Interest. The amounts of such advances shall be a debt of the LLC to such Member and shall be payable or collectible only
out of the LLC Assets in accordance with terms and conditions agreed upon by the Board of Managers. 
  

	 	5.8.	Liability of Members and Board of Managers 

 Except
as otherwise provided in the Delaware LLC Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the LLC, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the LLC, and none of the Members or the Board
Members shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the LLC solely by reason of being a Member or a Board Member. The failure of the LLC to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its
powers or management of its business or affairs under the Delaware LLC Act or this Agreement shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on any Member or any Board Member for liabilities of the LLC.  
  

	 	5.9.	Return of Capital 

 Except upon the dissolution of
the LLC or as may be specifically provided in this Agreement, no Member shall have the right to demand or to receive the return of all or any part of its Capital Account or its Capital Contributions to the LLC. 
  

	 	5.10.	Rights to Subscribe to Additional Issuances 

 In
the event the Board of Managers decides to cause the LLC to issue additional LLC Interests (other than (a) the issuance of Class B Units, (b) the issuance of any LLC Interests in connection with acquisitions, debt financings, joint
ventures or strategic alliances, (c) the declaration of dividends or other distributions in the form of additional LLC Interests, (d) recapitalizations, splits or combinations of 
  

 - 5 - 







 LLC Interests, or (e) the issuance of securities (Units or otherwise) in a public offering, each Class A Member
shall be offered the first opportunity to subscribe for such additional issuance of LLC Interests, on the same terms and conditions as the Board of Managers proposes to issue such LLC Interests, in the proportion that such Class A Member’s
Percentage Interest bears to the aggregate Percentage Interests then held by all Class A Members (such Member’s “Pro Rata Share”). The LLC shall deliver a written notice (the “Proposed Issuance Notice”) to
each such Class A Member at least ten (10) days in advance of the proposed issuance of LLC Interests, stating the number and class of LLC Interests proposed to be issued, the proposed subscription price, and the manner in which such
Class A Member may exercise its rights to subscribe to such LLC Interests. Such Class A Member may exercise its rights to subscribe to such LLC Interests by delivering a notice to that effect to the LLC and each of the other Class A
Members within ten (10) days after the delivery of the Proposed Issuance Notice and complying with the procedures for subscription specified in the Proposed Issuance Notice. If any of the Class A Members does not elect to purchase their
full Pro Rata Share of the offered LLC Interests, the LLC shall offer the Class A Members that have elected to purchase their full Pro Rata Shares of such LLC Interests the opportunity to increase the number of such LLC Interests they wish to
subscribe for by an amount equal to their Pro Rata Shares (excluding for such calculation the LLC Interests of any Member who has not subscribed for its respective full Pro Rata Share) of the unsubscribed portion of such LLC Interests. This process
shall be repeated as often as necessary until either the Class A Members have subscribed for all of the LLC Interests offered or no Class A Member has exercised its right to subscribe for such additional LLC Interests. Any LLC Interests
not subscribed for by the Class A Members pursuant to the foregoing may be issued by the Board of Managers in accordance with the terms previously described by the Board of Managers. From time to time and at any time, the Class A Members
may assign their rights to purchase LLC Interests pursuant to this Section 5.10 to their Affiliates. 
  

	6.	ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES; DISTRIBUTIONS 

  

	 	6.1.	Allocation of Net Income or Net Loss 

 The Net
Income or Net Loss, other items of income, gains, losses, deductions and credits, and the taxable income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the LLC, if any, for each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) shall be allocated to the Members as
provided in the Tax Allocations Addendum. 
  

	 	6.2.	Allocation of Income and Loss With Respect to LLC Interests Transferred 

 If any LLC Interest is transferred during any Fiscal Year, the Net Income or Net Loss (and other items referred to in Section 6.1) attributable to such LLC Interest for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated
between the transferor and the transferee based on the number of days during such Fiscal Year for which each party was the owner of the LLC Interest transferred. 
  

	 	6.3.	Distributions 

  

	 	6.3.1.	Determination of Availability 

 Cash available or
property available to be distributed in kind by the LLC to the Members (“Distributions”) shall be determined for each Fiscal Year by the Board of Managers and shall be distributed to the Members as set forth in
Section 6.3.3. 
  

 - 6 - 








	 	6.3.2.	Distribution to Members 

 Distributions of
available cash, as determined by the Board of Managers, shall be made at least annually within seventy-five (75) days after the end of each Fiscal Year. Distributions also may be made, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board of
Managers, after retention of appropriate reserves, at other times during any Fiscal Year in anticipation of the year-end determination thereof, and such Distributions shall be subject to year-end adjustment. The Members agree that, within
thirty (30) days after determination by the LLC that an overpayment was made to any Member for any Fiscal Year pursuant to this Section 6.3, such Member shall repay the overpayment unless the Board of Managers otherwise agrees to
allow such overpayment to be a credit against future Distributions, or make such other adjustments as the Board of Managers determines to be appropriate to remedy such overpayment. 
  

	 	6.3.3.	Priority of Distributions 

 All Distributions shall
be made in the following order of priority: 
 (a) First, to the holders of Class A Units pro rata in accordance with the number
of Units held until each such Member has received aggregate distributions under this paragraph equal to such Member’s aggregate Capital Contributions to the LLC, and 
 (b) Second, to the holders of all Units, pro rata in accordance with the number of Vested Units held, provided that a holder of a Class B Unit
shall not be entitled to any distribution of cash or property that resulted from the appreciation of the LLC Assets, or income earned by the LLC, before such Member received such Class B Unit. In furtherance of the foregoing, prior to the issuance
of a Class B Unit, the Board of Managers shall determine the amount, if any, of such appreciation and such income, and such amount shall be reflected in a separate column on Exhibit A. Any such amount that would, in the absence of the proviso
in the preceding sentence, be distributed to a Class B Member, shall instead be distributed to holders of all other Units, pro rata in accordance with such Units. For the purposes of this Section 6.3.3, “Vested Units” means
(i) all Class A Units and (ii) the Class B Units that have “vested” in accordance with the applicable terms of such holder’s employment agreement with the Company or any other agreement with the Company which specifies
the methodology for the “vesting” of such Class B Units. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Member shall be entitled to a
Distribution in excess of single Member’s Capital Account balance. Any Distribution that is not made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be distributed to the other Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Capital Account
balances. 
  

	 	6.3.4.	Tax Distribution. 

 At the election of the Board of
Managers, within ten (10) days following the end of each quarter of a Fiscal Year the LLC shall distribute to each Class A Member a cash amount equal to (i) 25% of the Taxable Income Distribution Amount of such Class A Member
that the Board of Managers estimates for the entire Fiscal Year; and (ii) with respect to tax payments to be made with income tax returns filed for a full Fiscal Year or with respect to adjustments to such returns imposed by the Internal
Revenue Service or other taxing authority, such distribution to the Class A Members shall be equal to the Taxable Income Distribution Amount for such Fiscal Year, less the aggregate amount distributed for such Fiscal Year as provided in clause
(i) above. In the event that the amount determined under clause (ii) above is a negative amount (a “Tax Distribution Deficit”), the amount of any Distributions pursuant to this Section 6.3.4 in the succeeding
Fiscal Year (or if necessary any subsequent Fiscal Year) shall be reduced by such Tax Distribution Deficit; provided that if a Class A Member stops being a Member while there is a Tax Distribution Deficit with respect to such
Class A Member, such Class A Member shall repay such Tax Distribution Deficit to the LLC upon withdrawal from the LLC.

	 	6.3.5.	Withholding Taxes. 

 (i) Authority to Withhold;
Treatment of Withheld Tax. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Member hereby authorizes the LLC to withhold and to pay over, or otherwise pay, any withholding or other taxes payable by the LLC or any of its Affiliates
(pursuant to the Code or any provision of United States federal, state or local or non-U.S. tax law) with respect to such Member or as a result of such Member’s participation in the LLC. If and to the extent that the LLC shall be required to
withhold or pay any such withholding or other taxes, such Member shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have received a payment from the LLC as of the time such withholding or other tax is required to be paid, which payment shall be
deemed to be a Distribution pursuant to the relevant clause of Section 6.3.3 with respect to such Member’s Units to the extent that such Member (or any successor to such Member’s Units) would have received a Distribution but
for such withholding. To the extent that the aggregate of such payments to a Member for any period exceeds the Distributions that such Member would have received for such period but for such withholding, the LLC shall notify such Member as to the
amount of such excess and such Member shall make a prompt payment to the LLC of such amount by wire transfer. Any withholdings by the LLC referred to in this Section 6.3.5 shall be made at the maximum applicable statutory rate under the
applicable tax law unless the LLC shall have received an opinion of counsel or other evidence, satisfactory to the LLC, to the effect that a lower rate is applicable, or that no withholding is applicable. 
 (ii) Withholding from Distributions of Property. If the LLC makes a Distribution in kind and such Distribution is subject to withholding or other
taxes payable by the LLC on behalf of any Member, such Member shall make a prompt payment to the LLC of the amount required to be withheld.

“Indemnitee”) to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, costs, damages, liabilities (joint or several), expenses of any nature (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements),
judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which the Indemnitee may be involved, or threatened to be
involved, as a party or otherwise, arising out of or incidental to the business or activities of or relating to the LLC, regardless of whether the Indemnitee continues to be a Member, a Board Member, an officer, or Affiliate thereof at the time any
such liability or expense is paid or incurred; provided, however, that this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of an Indemnitee (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, or (ii) for any transaction from which the Indemnitee received any improper personal benefit. 
 7.9.2.
Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit, or proceeding subject to this Section 7.9 shall, from time to time, upon request by the Indemnitee be advanced by the LLC prior to the final disposition
of such claim, demand, action, suit, or proceeding upon receipt by the LLC of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount, if it shall be determined in a judicial proceeding or a binding arbitration that such Indemnitee is
not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 7.9. 
 7.9.3. The indemnification provided by this
Section 7.9 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, vote of the Members, as a matter of law or equity, or otherwise, both as to an action in the Indemnitee’s capacity as a
Member, a Board Member, an officer, or any Affiliate thereof, and as to an action in another capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns,
and administrators of the Indemnitee. 
 7.9.4. The LLC may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Board Members and such
other Persons as the Board of Managers shall determine against any liability that may be asserted against or expense that may be incurred by such Persons in connection with the offering of interests in the LLC or the business or activities of the
LLC, regardless of whether the LLC would have the power to indemnify such Persons against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. 
 7.9.5. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.9 or otherwise by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the
indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted or not expressly prohibited by the terms of this Agreement. 
  

 - 14 - 







 7.9.6. The provisions of this Section 7.9 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees,
their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. 
  

	 	7.10.	Delegation of Rights and Authority 

 Except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Member or Board Member may delegate to any Person or Persons the rights and powers of the Board of Managers or of such Member or Board Member to manage and control the business and affairs of the

not, and each Member shall cause its respective Affiliates not to, disclose or use any Confidential Information of the LLC except as permitted by this Agreement. Each of the Members and their Affiliates shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use
no less than reasonable care in protecting the Confidential Information of the LLC which it has received. Information shall not be deemed Confidential Information under this Section 7.11 if it: (x) is or becomes publicly known
through no wrongful act or omission of the receiving party; or (y) is independently developed following the date of this Agreement by the receiving party without the use of or reference to the Confidential Information of the disclosing party.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.11, in the event a Member or its Affiliate is required to disclose the Confidential Information of the LLC (in such event, the party required to disclose is the “Disclosing
Party”) pursuant to an order or pursuant to a law (and such party has obtained advice of counsel to the effect that such information is required to be disclosed), and would otherwise be prohibited from doing so under this
Section 7.11, the Disclosing Party shall: (i) promptly notify the LLC of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such requirement; (ii) consult with the LLC on the advisability of taking legally available steps to
resist or narrow such request; and (iii) if disclosure of such Confidential Information is required, furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which the Disclosing Party is legally compelled to disclose and advise the LLC
reasonably in advance of such disclosure so that the LLC may seek an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information. The Disclosing Party shall not oppose actions
by the LLC to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information. 
 7.11.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the LLC shall be entitled to seek equitable relief (including injunctive relief) to protect their interest in any of its Confidential Information.

 7.11.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing contained herein shall limit the ability of the Board
Members to use Confidential Information of the LLC in connection with fulfilling their duties to the LLC under this Agreement. 
 7.11.4.
With respect to each former Member, the obligations of such former Member set forth in this Section 7.11 shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding that such former Member ceases to hold, directly or indirectly, any LLC
Interests.

Agreement as then in effect; and (iii) receipt of any necessary regulatory approvals. Unless and until a transferee is admitted as a substituted Member, the transferee shall have no right to exercise any of the powers, rights, and privileges of
a Member hereunder. A Member who has transferred its LLC Interest shall cease to be a Member upon transfer of the Member’s entire LLC Interest and thereafter shall have no further powers, rights, and privileges as a Member hereunder except as

creating one or more subsidiaries of the newly formed corporation and transferring to such subsidiaries any or all of the assets of the LLC (including by merger) or (B) causing the Members to exchange their Units for common stock of the newly
formed corporation. In connection with any such transaction, the Members shall receive, in exchange for their respective Units, shares of common stock of such corporation or its subsidiaries having the same relative economic interest in such
corporation or its subsidiaries as is set forth in this Agreement, subject to any modifications required solely as a result of the conversion to corporate form. At the time of such transaction, the Members shall, and hereby agree to, take any and
all actions deemed reasonably necessary and appropriate by the Board of Managers to effect such transaction, including entering into a stockholders’ agreement providing for (i) the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Agreement;

approve the proposed forms of a certificate of incorporation, by-laws, stockholders’ agreement and any other governing documents proposed to be established for such corporation and its subsidiaries, if any, all of which shall, as nearly as
practicable, reflect the rights and obligations of the Members under this Agreement and comparable agreements applicable to any subsidiary as of the date of such transaction. Prior to effecting any conversion under this Section 9.5, the
Class A Members shall be given sufficient time to effect reasonable tax planning and other internal restructuring as such Class A Member shall deem to be reasonably necessary.

respective fair market values and to reflect the relative economic interests of the Members in the LLC as a result of (i) the acquisition of an additional interest in the LLC by a new or existing Member in exchange for more than a de minimis
capital contribution or in exchange for the performance of services, (ii) the distribution by the LLC to a Member of a more than de minimis amount of LLC property as consideration for an interest in the LLC, or (iii) the liquidation of the
LLC within the meaning of Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g). 
 “Net Income” and “Net Loss”
- For a period as determined for federal income tax purposes, the taxable income or loss, respectively, computed with the following adjustments: 
 (c) items of gain, loss and deduction relating to LLC Assets shall be computed based on the Gross Asset Values of such LLC Assets rather than upon their Adjusted Bases, and in the case of depreciation, amortization or
other cost recovery deductions, computed using the same method and useful life used by the LLC in computing such deductions for federal income tax purposes; 
 (d) tax-exempt income of the LLC shall be treated, for purposes of this definition only, as gross income; 
 (e) expenditures of the LLC described in section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code or treated as such expenditures pursuant to Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i) shall be treated, for purposes of this definition only, as deductible expenses;
and 
 (f) notwithstanding any other provision of this definition, any items which are specially allocated pursuant to
Section 4.3 of this Addendum shall not be taken into account in computing Net Income or Net Loss. 
 For the avoidance of doubt,
Net Income and Net Loss equals to sum of “Operating Income or Loss” and “Capital Gain or Loss” for each tax year. 
 “Nonrecourse Deduction” - A deduction of the LLC described in Regulations sections 1.704-2(c) and (j)(1)(ii). 
 “Operating Income or Loss” – For each Accounting Period, the net ordinary income or loss of the LLC calculated without taking into account any gain or loss from the sale or disposition of a capital asset that is
treated as a capital gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. 
 “Partially Adjusted Capital Account” - With
respect to any Member and any Accounting Period, the aggregate capital account of such Member in the LLC as of the beginning of such Accounting Period, adjusted as set forth in Section 3.1 of this Addendum with respect to such Accounting
Period but before giving effect to any allocations of Net Income or Net Loss or items of income, gain, loss and deduction of such Accounting Period pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Addendum. 
 “Partnership Minimum Gain” - As defined in Regulations section 1.704-2(d). 
 “Partner Nonrecourse Debt” - As defined in Regulations section 1.704-2(b)(4). 
  

 A II - 2 







 “Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain” - As defined in Regulations section
1.704-2(i)(2). 
 “Regulations” - The regulations issued by the United States Department of the Treasury under the Code as
now in effect and as they may be amended from time to time, and any successor regulations. 
 “Regulatory Allocations” - As
defined in Section 4.2(g) of this Addendum. 
 “Target Capital Account” - With respect to any Member for any
Accounting Period in which an allocation of Net Income or Net Loss is to be made, an amount (which may be either a positive or a deficit balance) equal to the amount such Member would receive as a distribution if all assets of the LLC as of such
date were sold for cash equal to the Gross Asset Value of such assets on the books of the LLC, all liabilities of the LLC were satisfied to the extent required by their terms, and the net proceeds were distributed pursuant to Section 6.3.3
(without giving effect to Section 6.3.3(c)), all of the foregoing computed after giving effect to any capital contributions and distributions that have been made for such Accounting Period. 
  

	3.	MAINTENANCE OF CAPITAL ACCOUNTS 

  

	 	3.1.	In General 

 A separate capital account shall be
maintained on the books of the LLC for each Member, which shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), effective as of: (1) December 31 of each year, (2) immediately prior to the acquisition of
any Unit or the occurrence of any capital contribution to the LLC by any Person, (3) the date of a liquidation, dissolution or sale of the LLC, (4) the date of any Distribution by the LLC, and (5) any other date selected by the Board
of Managers (each of the foregoing, an “Allocation Date”). Each Capital Account shall be: 
 (i) credited with (A) the
amount of cash and the fair market value of any property (net of liabilities secured by such property, which liabilities are assumed or taken subject to by the LLC) contributed to the LLC by such Member and (B) all Net Income and other
specially allocated items of income and gain of the LLC allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 4 of this Addendum; and 
 (ii) debited with (A) all Net Losses and other specially allocated items of loss or deduction of the LLC allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 4 of this Addendum and (B) all cash and the fair market value of any
property (net of liabilities secured by such property, which liabilities are assumed or taken subject to by such Member) distributed by the LLC to such Member pursuant to Section 6.3 or Section 10.4 of the Agreement. Any
references in this Addendum or in the Agreement to the Capital Account of a Member shall be deemed to refer to such Capital Account as the same may be credited or debited from time to time as set forth herein. 
  

 A II - 3 








	 	3.2.	Adjustment of Gross Asset Value 

 If the Gross
Asset Value of an LLC Asset is adjusted pursuant to paragraph (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value,” all Members’ Capital Accounts shall be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss and
deduction inherent in such LLC Asset (that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously) would be allocated among the Members if there were a taxable disposition of such LLC Asset for its fair market value (but not for less than the
amount of any nonrecourse indebtedness secured by such LLC Asset). 
  

	 	3.3.	Succession to Capital Account 

 Any Permitted
Transferee of an interest in the LLC shall succeed to the Capital Account relating to the interest transferred. 
  

	4.	ALLOCATIONS 

  

	 	4.1.	Operating Income and Operating Loss 

 Subject to
Sections 4.3 and 4.4, the Operating Income and Operating Loss of the LLC shall be allocated to the Class A Members, pro rata in accordance with the number of Units held. 
  

	 	4.2.	Capital Gain or Loss 

 The Capital Gain or Loss for
the LLC for any Accounting Period shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes, as of the end of such Accounting Period, as follows: 
 Net Income and Net Losses of the LLC shall be allocated among the Members so as to reduce, proportionately, the difference between their respective Target Capital Accounts and Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts as of the end of such
Accounting Period. No portion of Capital Gain or Loss for any Accounting Period shall be allocated to a Member, in the case of Capital Gain, whose Partially Adjusted Capital Account is greater than or equal to its Target Capital Account or, in the
case of Capital Loss, whose Target Capital Account is greater than or equal to its Partially Adjusted Capital Account for such Accounting Period. If all Target Capital Accounts equal all Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts for any Accounting Period,
the remaining Capital Gain and Capital Loss shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in accordance with their Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts. 
  

	 	4.3.	Special Target Allocations 

 At the direction of
the Majority of the Board Members, (i) if, notwithstanding the application of Section 4.1(a), any Member’s Partially Adjusted Capital Account is greater than or less than its Target Capital Account, then such Member may be
specially allocated items of LLC income, gain, deduction or loss (to the extent available) equal to the difference between its Partially Adjusted Capital Account and its Target Capital Account; and (ii) if all Members have a zero capital
account and the LLC has additional Net Loss to allocate, then the allocation of such Net Loss shall be made in accordance with Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704 of the Code; and the first subsequent allocation of Net Profit
shall be made to reverse any allocation of Net Loss under this clause (ii).

	 	4.4.	Special Allocation Rules 

 The following allocation
rules shall apply notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 of this Addendum, and the provisions of Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 of this Addendum shall be applied only after giving effect to
the following rules. 
 (a) Nonrecourse Deductions for a Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Members in the same manner as Net Loss is
allocated pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Addendum. In accordance with Regulations sections 1.704-2(f), (g) and (j), upon the recapture (or other reversal) of Nonrecourse Deductions, items of income or gain of the LLC shall be
allocated to the Members in proportion to the amount of such Nonrecourse Deductions previously allocated to them pursuant to the preceding sentence (and not previously recaptured pursuant to this sentence). 
 (b) In the event a Member receives with respect to an Accounting Period an adjustment, allocation, or distribution described in subparagraphs (4), (5),
or (6) of Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) that causes or increases an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in such Member’s Capital Account, such Member shall be specially allocated for such Accounting Period (and, if necessary, in
subsequent Accounting Period) items of income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as promptly as possible. Items to be so allocated shall be determined and the allocations made as provided
in Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). 
 (c) No Net Loss or LLC deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to any Member to
the extent such allocation would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in such Member’s Capital Account, while any other Member has a positive Capital Account. 
 (d) In the event that any fees, interest, or other amounts paid to a Member or affiliate of a Member pursuant to the Agreement, or any agreement between
the LLC and the Member or affiliate providing for the payment of such amounts, and deducted by the LLC, whether in reliance on sections 162, 163, 707(a), and/or 707(c) of the Code or otherwise, on its federal income tax return for the Fiscal Year in
or with respect to which such amounts are claimed, are disallowed as deductions to the LLC and are treated as LLC distributions, then: 
 (i)
the Net Income or Net Loss, as the case may be, for the Fiscal Year in or with respect to which such deduction was claimed shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by the amount of such deduction that is so disallowed and treated as an
LLC distribution; and 
 (ii) there shall be allocated to the Member who received (or whose affiliate received) such payments, prior to the
allocations pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of this Addendum, an amount of gross income of the LLC for the Fiscal Year in or with respect to which such claimed deduction was disallowed equal to the amount of such deduction that is so
disallowed and treated as an LLC distribution. 
 (e) If there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for a Fiscal Year, there shall
be allocated to each Member items of income and gain for such Fiscal Year equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain (determined pursuant to Regulations section 1.704-2(g)(2)) in accordance with Regulations
section 1.704-2(f). 
 (f) If there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain for a Fiscal Year, then there shall be
allocated to each Member with a share of such Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(5)) as of the beginning of the Fiscal Year items of income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if
necessary, for subsequent Fiscal Years) equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain, subject to the exceptions set forth in Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(4). 
  

 A II - 5 







 (g) To the extent possible, all allocations pursuant to Sections 4.4(a) through
(f) of this Addendum (“Regulatory Allocations”) shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of LLC income, gain, loss or deduction. Such offsetting allocations
shall be made such that, after such offsetting allocations have been made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is as close as possible to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations had not been made
and the LLC had allocated all items pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof. Where feasible, the determination of such offsetting allocations shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations that, although not yet made, are likely to offset
other Regulatory Allocations previously made. 
  

	 	4.5.	Tax Allocations 

 (a) For United States federal
income and applicable state tax purposes, all items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction of the LLC shall be allocated to the Members in the same manner as are Net Income, Net Loss and items of income, gain, loss and deduction pursuant to
Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 of this Addendum, and items of credit shall be allocated to the Members, generally in the same manner as items of Net Income, Net Loss and items of income, gain, loss and deduction, as
provided in Regulations sections 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii) and 1.704-1T(b)(4)(xi), or any successor Regulations in effect. If the Gross Asset Value of any LLC Asset differs from its Adjusted Basis, then items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with
respect to such LLC Asset shall be allocated, solely for tax purposes, among the Members to take into account the variation between such Gross Asset Value and Adjusted Basis in accordance with the principles of Regulation section 1.704-3.

 (b) In making the tax allocations provided for in Section 4.5(a) of this Addendum, appropriate adjustments shall be made as
necessary to take into account the effects of any election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code. 
  

	5.	SECTION 754 ELECTION 

 The Tax Matters Member shall
cause the LLC to file an election under Section 754 of the Code to provide for an adjustment to the Adjusted Basis of LLC Assets if requested to by a Member in connection with the disposition of an LLC interest by that Member.
