Section
12.1  Transfers. (a) A Member other than the Initial Member may not Transfer any part of its Membership Interest without
(i) the prior written consent of the Initial Member, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) an opinion of a nationally
recognized tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such transfer will not cause the Company to be treated as
a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code. Any purported Transfer of any Membership Interest
in contravention of this Section 12.1 shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be null and void and of no force
or effect whatsoever. No purchase or transfer of a Membership Interest shall be made by or to a Benefit Plan Investor, no purchase
or transfer of a Membership Interest by or to a Benefit Plan Investor will be effective, and neither the Company nor the Initial
Member will recognize any such purchase or transfer. In addition, no purchase or transfer will be effective if it would cause the
Company to (x) be classified as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income
tax purposes or (y) be required to withhold on the transferee’s distributions or distributive shares of income as a
result of Sections 871, 881 or 1446 of the Code, and neither the Manager nor the Company will recognize any purchase or transfer
giving rise to such classification or withholding.

Initial Member shall admit a transferee of a Member’s Membership Interest to the Company only if such transferee (i) has
agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by becoming a party hereto and (ii) has delivered such additional
documentation as the Initial Member shall reasonably require to so admit such transferee to the Company. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, both the Company and the Initial Member shall be entitled to treat the transferor of a Membership
Interest 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 it, until such time as a written assignment or other evidence of the consummation of a Transfer that conforms
to the requirements of this Section 12.1 and is reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Member has been received by
the Company. The effective date of any Transfer permitted under this Agreement shall be the close of business on the day of receipt
thereof by the Company.

or affairs; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not eliminate or limit the liability of any Indemnified Party

or omissions were committed in bad faith or involved intentional misconduct as a knowing violation of law or (ii) that the
Indemnified Party personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which the Indemnified Party was not legally
entitled.
