by this Agreement to return any distribution to the Company or pay the amount of any distribution for the account of the Company
or to any creditor of the Company; provided, however, that if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding
this Agreement, any Member is obligated to return or pay any part of any distribution, such obligation shall bind such Member alone
and not any other Member or any Manager.


 


Section
5.04.   Withholding.

law) with respect to such Member or as a result of such Member’s participation in the Company; and if and to the extent that
the Company 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 Company as of the time such withholding or other tax is paid, which payment
shall be deemed to be a distribution with respect to such Member’s Membership Interest in the Company.

Each Member shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless the Managing Member and each
other Person (other than the Company) who is or who is deemed to be the responsible withholding agent for United States federal,
state or local or foreign income tax purposes against all claims, liabilities and expenses of whatever nature (other than any claims,
liabilities and expenses in the nature of penalties and accrued interest thereon that result from such Managing Member’s
or such other Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud) relating to the Company’s, the Managing Member’s
or such other Person’s obligation to withhold and to pay over, or otherwise to pay, any withholding or other taxes payable
by the Company or any of its Affiliates with respect to such Member or as a result of such Member’s participation in the
Company.

a Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treas. Reg. §§ 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),
(5) or (6) that would not prevent such Member from having, or would cause such Member to have, an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit,
then items of Company income (including gross income) and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner
sufficient to eliminate, as quickly as possible, such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. This Section 6.04(b) is intended
to constitute a “qualified income offset” under Treas. Reg. § 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted and
applied consistently therewith.


 


(c)          Nonrecourse
Deductions, if any, for any Fiscal Year or period shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage
Interests.


 


(d)          Member
Nonrecourse Deductions, if any, for any Fiscal Year or period with respect to a Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be specially allocated
to the Member that bears the economic risk of loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt (as determined under Treas. Reg. §§ 1.704-2(b)(4)
and 1.704-2(i)(1)).


 


(e)          To
the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any asset of the Company pursuant to Section 734(b) of the Code or Section
743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining
Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment
increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated
among the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which each of their respective Capital Accounts are required to be
adjusted pursuant to such section of the Treasury Regulations.


 


(f)          The
allocations set forth in Section 6.04(a)-(e) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with
certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory
Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income,
gain, loss or deduction. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than the Regulatory Allocations),
the Managing Member shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner
it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is,
to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not
part of this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 6.03. In exercising discretion with respect
to such offsetting special allocations, the Managing Member shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section
6.04(a) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Section 6.04(c)
or 6.04(d).


 


(g)          Any
deductions attributable to guaranteed payments under Section 707(c) of the Code, and if the amount of such guaranteed payments
shall not be sufficient, other expenses deductible under the Code, shall be allocated, among the Members prior to the allocation
of Net Profits or Net Losses pursuant to Section 6.03, to the extent necessary to cause their Capital Accounts to be in
proportion to their Percentage Interests.

Section
6.05.   Allocation for Income Tax Purposes.


 


(a)          For
federal, state and local income tax purposes, all items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction for each Fiscal Year or period
shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with the manner in which the corresponding items were allocated under Sections
6.03 and 6.04, except as provided in Sections 6.05(b) and 6.05(c) below.


 


(b)          If
property is contributed to the Company by a Member and there is a difference between the basis of such property to the Company
for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the time of its contribution, then items of income, gain, deduction
and loss with respect to such property, as computed for federal income tax purposes (but not for book purposes), shall be allocated
under the “traditional method” among the Members so as to take account of such book/tax difference as required by Section
704(c) of the Code.


 


(c)          If
property (other than property described in Section 6.05(b)) of the Company is reflected in the Capital Accounts of the Members
and on the books of the Company at a Gross Asset Value that differs from the Company’s adjusted basis of such property for
federal income tax purposes by reason of a revaluation of such property pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f),
then items of income, gain, deduction and loss with respect to such property, as computed for federal income tax purposes (but
not for book purposes), shall be allocated among the Members pursuant to any permissible method contained in the Treasury Regulations
promulgated under Section 704(c) of the Code selected by the Managing Member, in its sole discretion, in order to take into account
of the difference between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value.


 


(d)          Without
altering the overall amount of Net Profits or gross income allocable to any Member, Net Profits or gross income taxable as ordinary
income under Sections 1245 and 1250 of the Code, or similar provisions of the Code (the “Depreciation Recapture”),
shall, to the extent possible, be allocated to those Members to whom allowances for depreciation or amortization giving rise
to Depreciation Recapture were allocated.


 


(e)          Pursuant
to Treas. Reg. § 1.752-3(a)(3), solely for purposes of determining each Member’s proportionate share of the “excess
nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company (as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.752-3(a)(3)), the Members’ respective interests
in Company profits shall be determined under any permissible method reasonably determined by the Managing Member; provided,
however, that each Member who has contributed property to the Company shall be allocated, to the extent possible, a share
of “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company which results in such Member being allocated nonrecourse liabilities
in an amount which is at least equal to the amount of income required to be allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 704(c)
of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Liability Shortfall”). If there is an
insufficient amount of nonrecourse liabilities to be able to allocate to each Member nonrecourse liabilities equal to the Liability
Shortfall, nonrecourse liabilities shall be allocated to each Member in pro rata in accordance with each such Member’s Liability
Shortfall.

Section
6.06.   Regulatory Compliance. The foregoing provisions are intended
to comply with Treas. Reg. §§ 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent
with such Treasury Regulations. If the Managing Member shall reasonably determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which
the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto, are computed, or the manner in which any allocations are made under Sections
6.03 and 6.04, in order to comply with Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder, the
Managing Member may make such modifications, provided, however, that (a) the Managing Member shall not modify the
manner of making distributions pursuant to this Agreement, (b) all allocations of Company income, gain, loss and deduction continue
to have “substantial economic effect” within the meaning of Section 704(b) of the Code, and (c) no Member is materially
adversely affected by any such modification.


 


Section
6.07.   Tax Matters Member. The Managing Member shall act as the “tax
matters partner” for the Company under Section 6231 of the Code (the “Tax Matters Member”). All expenses
incurred by the Managing Member while acting in such capacity shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company. The Managing Member
shall keep the other Members reasonably informed regarding actions the Managing Member takes in its capacity as Tax Matters Member
and shall not take any material action in such capacity without first consulting the other Members in good faith.


 


Section
6.08.   Elections. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
all elections required or permitted to be made by the Company under the Code or other applicable tax law and all material decisions
with respect to the calculation of its taxable income or tax loss for tax purposes under the Code or other applicable tax law or
any other matter encompassed by this Article 6, shall be made by the Managing Member in accordance with Section 6.07.
As required by the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Managing Member shall make, and shall cause each Subsidiary Partnership to make,
an election under Section 754 of the Code which election shall be in effect for each taxable year in which RCAP or any Permitted
Transferee of RCAP Transfers Class B Units.


 


Section
6.09.   Change of Members’ Percentage Interests. If there
is a Transfer of Units by a Member during a Fiscal Year, then there shall be a daily allocation among the Members of Net Profits
or Net Losses and the other items allocated under this Article 6 for such Fiscal Year; provided, however,
that any item or amount arising from a transaction engaged in by the Company outside the ordinary course of business shall
be taken into account as of the date thereof under the closing-of-the-books method.


 


Section
6.10.   Certain Costs And Expenses. The Company shall (a) pay, or cause
to be paid, all costs, fees, operating expenses and other expenses of the Company (including the costs, fees and expenses of attorneys,
accountants or other professionals and the compensation of all personnel providing services to the Company) incurred in pursuing
and conducting, or otherwise related to, the business of the Company, and (b) in the sole discretion of the Managing Member, reimburse
the Managing Member for any out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by it in connection therewith. To the extent that
the Managing Member reasonably determines in good faith that its expenses are related to the business conducted by the Company
and/or its subsidiaries (including any good faith allocation of a portion of expenses that so relate to the business of the Company
and/or its subsidiaries and that also relate to other businesses or activities of the Managing Member), then the Managing Member
may cause the Company to pay or bear all such expenses of the Managing Member, including, costs of securities offerings not borne
directly by Members, compensation and meeting costs of its Board of Directors, cost of periodic reports to its stockholders, litigation
costs and damages arising from litigation, accounting and legal costs and franchise taxes (which are not based on, or measured
by, income); provided, however, that the Company shall not pay or bear any income tax obligations of the Managing Member.
Payments under this Section 6.10 are intended to constitute reasonable compensation for past or present services and are
not “distributions” within the meaning of §18-607 of the Delaware Act.

ARTICLE 9


Transfers of
Interests; Admittance of New Members


 


Section
9.01.   Transfer of Membership Interests. 


 


(a)          
Other than as provided for below in this Section 9.01 or in Section 9.02, no Member may sell, assign, transfer,
grant a participation in, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of (such transaction being herein collectively called
a “Transfer”) all or any portion of its Membership Interest except with the written consent of the Managing
Member, which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion. Without the consent of the Managing Member (but otherwise in compliance
with Sections 9.01, 9.02 and 9.03), a Member may, at any time, (a) Transfer any portion of such Member’s
Membership Interest pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, and (b) Transfer any portion of such Member’s Membership Interest
to a Permitted Transferee of such Member. Any purported Transfer of all or a portion of a Member’s Membership Interest not
complying with this Section 9.01 shall be void ab initio and shall not create any obligation on the part of the Company
or the other Members to recognize that purported Transfer or to deal with the Person to which the Transfer purportedly was made.
A Person acquiring a Member’s Membership Interest pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not be admitted as a substituted
or additional Member except in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.03, but such Person shall, to the extent of
the Membership Interest transferred to it, be entitled to such Member’s (i) share of distributions, (ii) share of profits
and losses, including Net Profits and Net Losses, and (iii) Capital Account in accordance with Section 6.01(c). Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 9.01 or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, if a Member Transfers all or any portion of
its Membership Interest after the designation of a record date and declaration of a distribution pursuant to Section 5.01
and before the payment date of such distribution, the transferring Member (and not the Person acquiring all or any portion of its
Membership Interest) shall be entitled to receive such distribution in respect of such transferred Membership Interest.


 


(b)          It
is intention of the parties to preserve their relative ownership of the Group Equity Interests. In furtherance of the foregoing,
the parties agree that, notwithstanding anything that may be to the contrary in this Agreement, any Transfer of units of an Operating
Subsidiary to a transferee thereof shall be accompanied by the simultaneous Transfer of an equal number of the same class, series
or type of units of the other Operating Subsidiaries to such transferee.


 




    	24



    	 



    

 


Section
9.02.   Transfer of Pubco’s Interest. Subject to Section
9.01(b), Pubco may Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest at any time and from time to time without the consent
of the Managing Member (if the Managing Member is not Pubco at such time) or any other Person. A Person acquiring Pubco’s
Membership Interest pursuant to this Section 9.02 shall not be admitted as a substituted or additional Member except in
accordance with the requirements of Section 9.03, but such Person shall, to the extent of the Membership Interest transferred
to it, be entitled to (a) Pubco’s share of distributions, (b) Pubco’s share of profits and losses, including Net Profits
and Net Losses, and (c) Pubco’s Capital Account in accordance with Section 6.01(c).


 


Section
9.03.   Recognition of Transfer; Substituted and Additional Members. 


 


(a)          No
direct or indirect Transfer of all or any portion of a Member’s Membership Interest may be made, and no purchaser, assignee,
transferee or other recipient of all or any part of such Membership Interest shall be admitted to the Company as a substituted
or additional Member hereunder, unless:


 


(i)          the
provisions of Section 9.01 or Section 9.02, as applicable, shall have been complied with;


 


(ii)         in
the case of a substituted or additional Member (other than a Permitted Transferee), the admission of the purchaser, assignee, transferee
or other recipient as a substituted or additional Member shall have been approved by the Managing Member;


 


(iii)        the
Managing Member shall have been furnished with the documents effecting such Transfer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Managing Member, executed and acknowledged by both the seller, assignor or transferor and the purchaser, assignee, transferee
or other recipient, and the Managing Member shall have executed (and the Managing Member hereby agrees to execute) any other documents
on behalf of itself and the Members required to effect the Transfer;


 


(iv)        the
provisions of Section 9.03(b) shall have been complied with;


 


(v)         the
Managing Member shall be reasonably satisfied that such Transfer will not (A) result in a violation of the Securities Act or any
other Applicable Law; (B) cause an assignment under the Investment Company Act; or (C) cause the Company to qualify as a “publicly
traded partnership,” as that term is defined in Section 7704 of the Code;


 


(vi)        such
Transfer would not cause the Company to lose its status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, such Transfer shall not be effected on or through an “established securities market”
or a “secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof,” as such terms are used in Section 1.7704-1 of the Treasury
Regulations, and the transferring Member and the transferee shall each have provided a certificate to that effect;


 


(vii)       the
Managing Member shall have received the opinion of counsel, if any, required by Section 9.03(c) in connection with such
Transfer; and


 




    	25



    	 



    

 


(viii)      all
necessary instruments reflecting such Transfer and/or admission shall have been filed in each jurisdiction in which such filing
is necessary in order to qualify the Company to conduct business or to preserve the limited liability of the Members.


 


(b)          Each
substituted Member and additional Member shall be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement. Each substituted Member and
additional Member, as a condition to its admission as a Member, shall execute and acknowledge such instruments (including a counterpart
of this Agreement or a joinder agreement in customary form), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Member,
as the Managing Member reasonably deems necessary or desirable to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of such
substituted or additional Member to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Membership Interest
acquired by such substituted or additional Member. The admission of a substituted or additional Member shall not require the consent
of any Member other than the Managing Member (if and to the extent such consent of the Managing Member is expressly required by
this Article 9). As promptly as practicable after the admission of a substituted or additional Member, the books and records
of the Company and Exhibit A shall be changed to reflect such admission.


 


(c)          As
a further condition to any Transfer of all or any part of a Member’s Membership Interest, the Managing Member may, in its
discretion, require a written opinion of counsel to the transferring Member reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Member, obtained
at the sole expense of the transferring Member, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Managing Member, as to such
matters as are customary and appropriate in transactions of this type, including (or, in the case of any Transfer made to a Permitted
Transferee, limited to an opinion) to the effect that such Transfer will not result in a violation of the registration or other
requirements of the Securities Act or any other federal or state securities laws. No such opinion, however, shall be required in
connection with a Transfer made pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.


 


Section
9.04.   Expense of Transfer; Indemnification. Each party hereto
shall bear his or its own expenses in connection with the Transfer of a Member’s Membership Interest, including any filing
and recording costs and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, except that the Company shall bear any transfer taxes,
stamp taxes or duties or other similar taxes in connection with, or arising by reason of, such Transfer. The transferring Member
hereby indemnifies the Managing Member and the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Managing
Member, the Company, or any of their Affiliates may become subject arising out of or based upon any false representation or warranty
made by, or breach or failure to comply with any covenant or agreement of, such transferring Member or such transferee in connection
with such Transfer.


 


Section
9.05.   Exchange Agreement. In connection with any Transfer of
any portion of a Member’s Membership Interest pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Managing Member shall cause the Company
to take any action as may be required under the Exchange Agreement or requested by any party thereto to effect such Transfer promptly.

ARTICLE 10


Dissolution
and Termination


  


Section
10.01.   Dissolution.


 


(a)          The
Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following events:


 


(i)          an
election by the Managing Member to dissolve, wind up or liquidate the Company; provided, however, that the Managing
Member has received the prior written consent of RCAP;


 


(ii)         the
sale, disposition or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; provided, however, that the
Managing Member shall not allow the Company to make such sale, disposition or transfer to an entity which is treated as a corporation
for U.S. federal income tax purposes without the prior written consent of RCAP, unless such sale, disposition or transfer involves
the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to an unrelated third party that is not an Affiliate of the Managing
Member or the Company;


 


(iii)        the
entry of a decree of dissolution of the Company under §18-802 of the Delaware Act; or


 


(iv)        at
any time there are no members of the Company, unless the Company is continued in accordance with the Delaware Act.


 


(b)          In
the event of a dissolution pursuant to Section 10.01 (a), the relative economic rights of each class of Units immediately
prior to such dissolution shall be preserved to the greatest extent practicable with respect to distributions made to Members pursuant
to Section 10.01(f) in connection with such dissolution, taking into consideration tax and other legal constraints that
may adversely affect one or more parties to such dissolution and subject to compliance with Applicable Laws.


 


(c)          Dissolution
of the Company shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Company will not
terminate until the assets of the Company have been distributed as provided in this Section 10.01 and any filings required
by the Delaware Act have been made.


 




    	27



    	 



    

 


(d)          Upon
dissolution, the Company shall be liquidated and wound up in an orderly manner in accordance with the provisions of this Section
10.01. The Managing Member or a Person selected by the Managing Member to act as liquidating trustee, shall wind up the affairs
of the Company pursuant to this Agreement. The Managing Member or liquidating trustee, as applicable, is authorized, subject to
the Delaware Act, to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of the assets of the Company, or to distribute Company assets in kind,
as the Managing Member or liquidating trustee shall determine to be in the best interests of the Members. The reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Managing Member or liquidating trustee in connection with winding up the Company (including legal and
accounting fees and expenses), all other liabilities or losses of the Company or the Managing Member or liquidating trustee incurred
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and reasonable compensation for the services of the liquidating trustee shall be
borne by the Company. Except as otherwise required by law and except in connection with any gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Managing Member or liquidating trustee, the Managing Member or liquidating trustee shall not be liable to any Member or
the Company for any loss attributable to any act or omission of the Managing Member or liquidating trustee taken in good faith
in connection with the winding up of the Company and the distribution of Company assets. The Managing Member or liquidating trustee
may consult with counsel and accountants with respect to winding up the Company and distributing its assets and shall be justified
in acting or omitting to act in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel or accountants, provided, however, 
that the Managing Member or liquidating trustee shall have used reasonable care in selecting such counsel or accountants.


 


(e)          Upon
dissolution of the Company, the expenses of liquidation (including compensation for the services of the liquidating trustee and
legal and accounting fees and expenses) and the Company’s liabilities and obligations to creditors shall be paid, or reasonable
provisions shall be made for payment thereof, in accordance with Applicable Law, from cash on hand or from the liquidation of Company
properties.


 


(f)          A
reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its
assets pursuant to this Section 10.01 to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up. Notwithstanding the
generality of the foregoing, within 180 calendar days after the effective date of dissolution of the Company, the assets of the
Company shall be distributed in the following manner and order: (i) all debts and obligations of the Company, if any, shall first
be paid, discharged or provided for by adequate reserves; and (ii) the balance shall be distributed to the Members in accordance
with Section 5.01.


 


(g)          The
Managing Member or liquidating trustee shall not be personally liable for the return of Capital Contributions or any portion thereof
to the Members (it being understood and agreed that any such return shall be made solely from Company assets).


 


Section
10.02.   Termination. The Company shall terminate when all of the assets
of the Company, after payment or reasonable provision for the payment of all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company,
shall have been distributed in the manner provided for in this Article 10 and the Certificate shall have been canceled
in the manner required by the Delaware Act.


 


ARTICLE 11


Exculpation
and Indemnification


 


Section
11.01.   Exculpation. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable
Law, and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Indemnitee (as defined below) shall be liable to the Company or any
other Indemnitee for any Losses (as defined below), which at any time may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the
Company or any other Indemnitee as a result of or arising out of the activities of the Indemnitee in its capacity as an officer
of the Company or otherwise on behalf of the Company to the extent within the scope of the authority reasonably believed to be
conferred on such Indemnitee, except to the extent such Losses arise out of (i) the Indemnitee’s failure to act in good
faith and in a manner such Indemnitee believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect
to any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee’s not having any reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful, (ii)
the Indemnitee’s material breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or (iii) the Indemnitee’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

Section
11.02.         Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable
Law, each of (a) the Members, the Managing Member and their respective Affiliates, (b) the stockholders, members, managers, directors,
officers, partners, employees and agents of the Members and the Managing Member and their respective Affiliates, and (c) the officers
of the Company (each, an “Indemnitee”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and
other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(collectively, “Losses”), which at any time may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Indemnitee
as a result of or arising out of this Agreement, the Company, its assets, business or affairs or the activities of the Indemnitee
in its capacity as an officer of the Company or otherwise on behalf of the Company to the extent within the scope of the authority
reasonably believed to be conferred on such Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall not be
entitled to indemnification for any Losses to the extent such Losses arise out of (i) the Indemnitee’s failure to act in
good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect
to any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee’s not having any reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful, (ii) the
Indemnitee’s material breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or (iii) the Indemnitee’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner specified
in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above. Any indemnification pursuant to this Article 11 shall be made only out of the assets
of the Company and no Member shall have any personal liability on account thereof.


 


Section
11.03.         Expenses. Expenses (including reasonable legal fees and
expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding described in Section 11.02 shall,
from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding,
upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined
that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as provided in this Article 11.


 


Section
11.04.         Non-Exclusivity. The indemnification and advancement
of expenses set forth in this Article 11 shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification
or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any statute, the Delaware Act, this Agreement, any other agreement, a policy of
insurance or otherwise. The indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in this Article 11 shall continue as to
an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a named Indemnitee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors
and permitted assigns of such a Person.


 




    	29



    	 



    

 


Section
11.05.   Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance
on behalf of the Indemnitees against any liability asserted against them and incurred by them in such capacity, or arising out
of their status as Indemnitees, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify them against such liability under
this Article 11.


 


ARTICLE 12


Accounting
and Records


 


Section
12.01.   Accounting and Records. The books and records of the Company
shall be made and maintained, and the financial position and the results of its operations recorded, at the expense of the Company,
in accordance with such method of accounting as is determined by the Managing Member. The books and records of the Company shall
reflect all Company transactions and shall be made and maintained in a manner that is appropriate and adequate for the Company’s
business.


 


Section
12.02.   Tax Information. The Managing Member shall exercise commercially
reasonable efforts to send, within 75 days after the end of each Fiscal Year to each Person who was a Member at any time during
the Fiscal Year, a Schedule K-1 with respect to the Company and any other information necessary for such Member to file its income
tax returns for such Fiscal Year.


 


ARTICLE 13


Arbitration


 


The Members shall attempt in good faith
to resolve all claims, disputes and other disagreements arising hereunder (each, a “Dispute”) by negotiation.
If a Dispute between Members cannot be resolved in such manner, such Dispute shall, at the request of any Member, after providing
written notice to the other Members party to the Dispute, be submitted to arbitration in The City of New York in accordance with
the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. The proceeding shall be confidential.
The party initially asserting the Dispute (the “Initiating Party”) shall notify the other party (the “Responding
Party”) of the name and address of the arbitrator chosen by the Initiating Party and shall specifically describe the
Dispute in issue to be submitted to arbitration. Within 30 days of receipt of such notification, the Responding Party shall notify
the Initiating Party of its answer to the Dispute, any counterclaim which it wishes to assert in the arbitration and the name and
address of the arbitrator chosen by the Responding Party. If the Responding Party does not appoint an arbitrator during such 30-day
period, appointment of the second arbitrator shall be made by the American Arbitration Association upon request of the Initiating
Party. The two arbitrators so chosen or appointed shall choose a third arbitrator, who shall serve as president of the panel of
arbitrators (the “Panel”) thus composed. If the two arbitrators so chosen or appointed fail to agree upon the
choice of a third arbitrator within 30 days from the appointment of the second arbitrator, the third arbitrator will be appointed
by the American Arbitration Association upon the request of the arbitrators or either of the parties. In all cases, the arbitrators
must be persons who are knowledgeable about, and have recognized ability and experience in dealing with, the subject matter of
the Dispute. The arbitrators will act by majority decisions. Any decision of the arbitrators shall (a) be rendered in writing and
shall bear the signatures of at least two arbitrators, and (b) identify the members of the Panel. Absent fraud or manifest error,
any such decision of the Panel shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration and enforceable by a court
of competent jurisdiction. The expenses of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties to the arbitration; provided,
however, that each party shall pay for and bear the costs of its own experts, evidence and legal counsel, unless the
arbitrator rules otherwise in the arbitration. The parties shall complete all discovery within 30 days after the Panel is composed,
shall complete the presentation of evidence to the Panel within 15 days after the completion of discovery, and a final decision
with respect to the matter submitted to arbitration shall be rendered within 15 days after the completion of presentation of evidence.
The Members shall cause to be kept a record of the proceedings of any matter submitted to arbitration hereunder.
