---

On April 29, 2026, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") of Clearway Energy, Inc. (the "Company"), the stockholders of the Company approved, among other things, an amendment and restatement of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "Amended Charter"). Following receipt of stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting, on April 29, 2026, the Amended Charter was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware Secretary of State") and became effective. Pursuant to the Amended Charter, each share of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Class A common stock"), converted (the "Class A Conversion") into one share of the Company's Class C common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Class C common stock"), effective as of 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on May 1, 2026 (the "Class A Conversion Time"). As a result of the Class A Conversion, the Company no longer has any Class A common stock.

***Voting Trust Agreement***

In connection with the Class A Conversion, on April 29, 2026, Clearway Energy Group LLC ("CEG"), the owner of all of the Company's outstanding shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Class B common stock"), and Class D common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Class D common stock"), entered into a Voting Trust Agreement (the "Voting Trust Agreement") with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as the voting trustee thereunder (the "Voting Trustee"), pursuant to which CEG, at the Class A Conversion Time, deposited into a voting trust (the "Voting Trust") 41,678,637 shares of Class B common stock (the "Voting Trust Shares"). The calculation of the number of Voting Trust Shares initially deposited into the Voting Trust was intended to cause the total relative voting power that CEG held in the Company as of immediately following the Class A Conversion to equal the total relative voting power that CEG held in the Company as of immediately prior to the Class A Conversion.

*Proportionate Voting*

Under the Voting Trust Agreement, on any matter presented to the Company's stockholders for a vote, including the election or removal of directors and any corporate action (including certain proposed change of control transactions of the Company), the Voting Trustee will be required to vote the Voting Trust Shares in the same proportion as the votes cast by all stockholders of the Company (including CEG with respect to any shares not held in the Voting Trust). For any matter subject to a vote of the holders of the same class or series of securities as any Voting Trust Shares (voting separately as a class and not together with one or more other classes or series of voting securities of the Company), the Voting Trustee will be required to vote the Voting Trust Shares corresponding to such class or series in accordance with the written direction of CEG.

*Dividends and Distributions*

Upon the declaration by the Company of any dividend or distribution with respect to any Voting Trust Shares, the Voting Trustee will instruct the Company to cause such dividend or distribution to be paid or delivered directly to CEG as if CEG itself held the Voting Trust Shares; provided, that any dividend or distribution paid in the form of voting securities of the Company will be retained by the Voting Trustee in the Voting Trust and will be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Voting Trust Agreement.

*Transfers*

Under the Voting Trust Agreement, CEG is not entitled to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Voting Trust Shares, except in certain situations, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a transfer of Voting Trust Shares (i) in
a bona fide transaction to any person that is not (a) an affiliate, subsidiary, director, officer, employee, agent or other representative
of CEG or (b) a person whose ownership of Voting Trust Shares would result in CEG continuing to be deemed the "beneficial owner"
(as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) of such
Voting Trust Shares (each person in this clause (b), a "CEG Related Person"), (ii) as collateral securing a bona fide
debt financing of CEG or any of its affiliates or (iii) pursuant to any foreclosure, bankruptcy or other process as a result of which
any lender or agent in respect of any such debt financing takes or transfers title to any Voting Trust Shares pledged pursuant to such
debt financing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a transfer of Voting Trust Shares to a CEG Related
Person (provided that (i) such Voting Trust Shares will be retained by the Voting Trustee in the Voting Trust and will remain subject
to all of the terms and conditions of the Voting Trust Agreement and (ii) such CEG Related Person, as a condition to such transfer,
agrees to be bound by the terms of the Voting Trust Agreement);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· CEG's election to tender any or all Voting
Trust Shares in accordance with the terms of a tender offer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· CEG's election to tender any or all Voting
Trust Shares in accordance with the terms of an exchange offer (provided that any voting securities of the Company received in such exchange
offer as consideration for such tendered Voting Trust Shares will be retained by the Voting Trustee in the Voting Trust and will be subject
to all of the terms and conditions of the Voting Trust Agreement);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· CEG's election to exchange Class B
units of Clearway Energy LLC for shares of Class C common stock under that certain Third Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement,
dated as of April 1, 2026, by and among the Company, Clearway Energy LLC and CEG (each, a "B/C Exchange"), in which case
the shares of Class C common stock issued in such B/C Exchange will be delivered directly to CEG as if CEG itself held the Voting
Trust Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· any other acquisition of Voting Trust Shares
by the Company or Clearway Energy LLC; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· any Share Release (as defined below).

Upon completion of any transfer of Voting Trust Shares permitted under the Voting Trust Agreement (other than a transfer to a CEG Related Person or a pledge of Voting Trust Shares as collateral securing a bona fide debt financing of CEG or any of its affiliates where the beneficiary of such collateral does not have the right to exercise the voting rights of such shares), such Voting Trust Shares will no longer be subject to the terms and conditions of the Voting Trust Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, under the Voting Trust Agreement, CEG is not entitled to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Voting Trust Shares to any person to the extent that such transfer, together with any other transfers of voting securities of the Company by CEG or any CEG Related Person to such person (but disregarding any other acquisition of voting securities of the Company by such person) would result in such person (and any "group" as that term is used in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) being transferred by CEG 90% or more of the total voting power of the Company (such number of voting securities that would otherwise be so transferred by CEG equal to the number of voting securities representing 90% or more of the total voting power of the Company, the "Excess Voting Securities") that would permit such person to effect a merger of the Company pursuant to Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). The foregoing restriction on transfers will not apply if the applicable transferee either (i) agrees to enter into an agreement substantially on the same terms and conditions as the Voting Trust Agreement with respect to the Excess Voting Securities or (ii) otherwise agrees with the Company to not cause a merger of the Company pursuant to Section 253 of the DGCL using and in reliance on the Excess Voting Securities.

*Share Issuances; Share Releases*

In the event the Company issues additional shares of Class C common stock (other than to CEG or a CEG Related Person) following the Class A Conversion (each such issuance, a "Class C Issuance"), CEG will be entitled to require the Voting Trustee to cause Voting Trust Shares to be released from the Voting Trust to CEG (each such release, a "Class C Issuance Share Release") in an amount calculated pursuant to a formula set forth in the Voting Trust Agreement, which calculation is intended to cause the total relative voting power that CEG holds in the Company as of immediately following such Class C Issuance and Class C Issuance Share Release to equal the total relative voting power that CEG would have held as of immediately following such Class C Issuance had (i) the Class A Conversion and the filing of the Amended Charter with the Delaware Secretary of State (the "Amended Charter Filing") not occurred and (ii) the creation of the Voting Trust and the deposit of the initial Voting Trust Shares into the Voting Trust not occurred.

In the event that, following the Class A Conversion, the Company issues additional voting securities (other than shares of Class C common stock) (other than to CEG or a CEG Related Person) or takes any other corporate action affecting the total relative voting power that CEG holds in the Company (each such issuance or corporate action, a "Specified Corporate Action"), CEG will be entitled to require the Voting Trustee to cause Voting Trust Shares to be released from the Voting Trust to CEG (each such release, an "SCA Share Release") in an amount that would cause the total relative voting power that CEG holds in the Company as of immediately following such Specified Corporate Action and SCA Share Release to equal the total relative voting power that CEG would have held as of immediately following such Specified Corporate Action had (i) the Class A Conversion and the Amended Charter Filing not occurred and (ii) the creation of the Voting Trust and the deposit of the initial Voting Trust Shares into the Voting Trust not occurred.

In the event CEG effects a B/C Exchange following the Class A Conversion, CEG will be entitled to require the Voting Trustee to cause Voting Trust Shares to be released from the Voting Trust to CEG (each such release, a "B/C Exchange Share Release" and, together with a Class C Issuance Share Release and an SCA Share Release, each a "Share Release") in an amount that would cause the total relative voting power that CEG holds in the Company as of immediately following such B/C Exchange and B/C Exchange Share Release to equal the total relative voting power that CEG would have held at such time had (i) the Class A Conversion and the Amended Charter Filing not occurred, (ii) the creation of the Voting Trust and the deposit of the initial Voting Trust Shares into the Voting Trust not occurred and (iii) the Class B units of Clearway Energy LLC subject to such B/C Exchange been exchanged for shares of Class A common stock rather than shares of Class C common stock (the "Hypothetical Baseline Voting Power"). If (i) as a result of any B/C Exchange, the total relative voting power that CEG holds in the Company as of immediately following such B/C Exchange exceeds the Hypothetical Baseline Voting Power as a result of the cancellation of Voting Trust Shares in connection with such B/C Exchange or (ii) following any B/C Exchange Share Release, CEG sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of (in each case, other than to an affiliate of CEG or as collateral securing a bona fide debt financing of CEG or any of its affiliates (any such transfer or disposition, a "Permitted Transfer")) shares of Class C common stock (a "Post-B/C Exchange Disposition"), then, in either case, immediately following such B/C Exchange or Post-B/C Exchange Disposition, CEG will be required to deposit into the Voting Trust a number of shares of Class B common stock in an amount that would cause the total voting power that CEG holds in the Company as of immediately following such deposit to equal the total voting power that CEG would have held as of immediately following such B/C Exchange or Post-B/C Exchange Disposition, as applicable, had (i) the Class A Conversion and the Amended Charter Filing not occurred, (ii) the creation of the Voting Trust and the deposit of the initial Voting Trust Shares into the Voting Trust not occurred and (iii) CEG exchanged the applicable Class B units of Clearway Energy LLC in the B/C Exchange for shares of Class A common stock (rather than shares of Class C common stock) and then, in the case of a Post B/C Exchange Disposition, disposed of shares of Class A common stock rather than shares of Class C common stock disposed in such Post-B/C Exchange Disposition (up to (but not exceeding), in the aggregate, the number of shares of Class A common stock assumed to have been received in exchange for Class B units of Clearway Energy LLC pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (iii) in respect of the related B/C Exchange). In addition, if, following a Permitted Transfer, any shares of Class C common stock included in the Permitted Transfer are transferred to any person other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, CEG will be required to deposit into the Voting Trust shares of Class B common stock as if such shares of Class C common stock were transferred in a Post-B/C Exchange Disposition.

Upon completion of any Share Release, any Voting Trust Shares so released from the Voting Trust will no longer be subject to the terms and conditions of the Voting Trust Agreement.

*Term; Termination*

The Voting Trust is irrevocable by CEG and will terminate only upon the earliest to occur of (i) an event constituting a change of control of the Company, (ii) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or (iii) the time at which no Voting Trust Shares remain in the Voting Trust.

The foregoing description of the Voting Trust Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the full text of the Voting Trust Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 9.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this "Form 8-K") and is incorporated herein by reference.

***Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Clearway Energy LLC***

In connection with the Class A Conversion, on May 1, 2026, the Company and CEG amended and restated the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Clearway Energy LLC, a direct subsidiary of the Company, by entering into a Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Clearway Energy LLC (the "Amended Clearway LLC Agreement"). Under the Amended Clearway LLC Agreement, each outstanding Class A unit of Clearway Energy LLC converted into one Class C unit of Clearway Energy LLC, effective as of the Class A Conversion Time. As a result of such conversion, Clearway Energy LLC no longer has any Class A units.

The foregoing description of the Amended Clearway LLC Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the full text of the Amended Clearway LLC Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

| **Item 3.03** | **Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.** |

---

***Amended Charter***

As described in the disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03, on April 29, 2026, the stockholders of the Company approved the Amended Charter at the Annual Meeting. Following receipt of stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting, on April 29, 2026, the Amended Charter was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and became effective.

Under the Amended Charter, the Class A Conversion occurred automatically at the Class A Conversion Time. In addition, the Amended Charter (i) provided that, from and after the Class A Conversion, the Company did not have authority to issue or reissue shares of Class A common stock, (ii) provided that, upon the Class A Conversion, certain provisions of the Amended Charter relating to the Class A common stock were deemed to have no further force or effect, including provisions defining the rights of holders of shares of Class A common stock (including provisions regarding voting rights, dividends and distributions and the transferability of Class A common stock) and obsolete provisions pertaining to certain rights of holders of shares of Class C common stock in relation to the Class A common stock, (iii) reduced the total number of authorized shares of Class A common stock from 500,000,000 to 34,613,853, (iv) reduced the total number of authorized shares of capital stock of the Company from 3,010,000,000 to 2,544,613,853 and (v) effected certain other non-substantive updates, including ministerial and conforming changes and updates to certain other historical matters.

***Certificate of Retirement***

Following the Class A Conversion, on May 1, 2026, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a certificate of retirement pursuant to Section 243 of the DGCL (the "Certificate of Retirement") to retire all shares of Class A common stock converted in the Class A Conversion, which also had the effect of amending the Amended Charter to (i) reduce the total number of authorized shares of Class A common stock from 34,613,853 to zero, (ii) reduce the total number of authorized shares of capital stock of the Company from 2,544,613,853 to 2,510,000,000 and (iii) eliminate from the Amended Charter all references to the Class A common stock (collectively, the "Class A Retirement").

***Restated Certificate of Incorporation***

Following the filing of the Certificate of Retirement with the Delaware Secretary of State, on May 1, 2026, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "Restated Charter"), which restated and integrated (but did not further amend) the Amended Charter to reflect the Class A Retirement.

***Certain Effects of the Amended Charter, the Restated Charter and the Class A Conversion***

The Amended Charter, the Restated Charter and the Class A Conversion had the following effects, among others, on the holders of the Company's common stock:

*Voting Power*

Prior to the Class A Conversion, (i) holders of formerly outstanding shares of Class A common stock were entitled to cast one vote per share with respect to each matter presented to the Company's stockholders on which the holders of such shares were entitled to vote and (ii) holders of Class C common stock were entitled to cast 1/100<sup>th</sup> of one vote with respect to each matter presented to the Company's stockholders on which the holders of such shares were entitled to vote. Holders of the formerly outstanding shares of Class A common stock received shares of Class C common stock in the Class A Conversion and, accordingly, are now entitled to cast 1/100<sup>th</sup> of one vote per share with respect to each matter presented to the Company's stockholders on which the holders of Class C common stock are entitled to vote. Neither the Amended Charter nor the Class A Conversion had any impact on the voting rights of the Class B common stock, Class C common stock or Class D common stock.

As of immediately following the Class A Conversion, and after giving effect to the terms of the Voting Trust Agreement, (i) the outstanding Class B common stock represented approximately 39.48% of the total voting power of the Company's outstanding common stock, (ii) the outstanding Class C common stock represented approximately 45.12% of the total voting power of the Company's outstanding common stock (with holders of formerly outstanding shares of Class A common stock holding approximately 12.89% of the total voting power of the Company's outstanding common stock) and (iii) the outstanding Class D common stock represented approximately 15.40% of the total voting power of the Company' outstanding common stock.

*Economic Interests*

Neither the Amended Charter nor the Class A Conversion had any impact on the economic interests of the Company's stockholders, including with regard to dividends and liquidation rights. Because the former Class A common stock and the Class C common stock were, prior to the Class A Conversion, both entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by the Company, following the Class A Conversion, holders of formerly outstanding shares of Class A common stock whose shares were converted to shares of Class C common stock remain eligible to receive any dividends declared by the Company on the same basis on which they would have received dividends had the Class A Conversion not occurred.

*Capitalization*

Neither the Amended Charter nor the Class A Conversion had any impact on the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the filing of the Amended Charter, the Certificate of Retirement and the Restated Charter, the Class A common stock was eliminated as a separately authorized class of common stock of the Company, and the total number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company was reduced to 2,510,000,000. However, neither the Amended Charter nor the Class A Conversion had any impact on the number of authorized shares of Class B common stock, Class C common stock, Class D common stock or preferred stock.

*NYSE Listing*

Following the Class A Conversion, the Class A common stock, which previously traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "CWEN.A", was suspended prior to the opening of the NYSE on May 1, 2026. The Class C common stock (including the shares of Class C common stock that were received in the Class A Conversion) continues to trade on the NYSE under the symbol "CWEN".

*CUSIP Number*

The Class C common stock (including the shares of Class C common stock that were received in the Class A Conversion) will maintain the same CUSIP number previously assigned to the Class C common stock.

*Securities Act; Resale of Common Stock*

The Company relied on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), to exempt the issuance of shares of Class C common stock resulting from the Class A Conversion from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Under that exemption, when securities are exchanged for other securities of an issuer, the securities received assume the character of the exchanged securities for purposes of the Securities Act. The formerly outstanding shares of Class A common stock that were converted to shares of Class C common stock in the Class A Conversion were issued in an offering registered, or were otherwise registered, under the Securities Act and therefore were not subject to resale restrictions (other than any such shares that were held by the Company's affiliates or that constituted restricted securities). Accordingly, shares of Class C common stock issued as a result of the Class A Conversion may be sold in the same manner as the formerly outstanding shares of Class A common stock may have been sold prior to the Class A Conversion. The Company's affiliates and holders of any shares of Class C common stock (including the shares of Class C common stock that were received in the Class A Conversion) that constitute restricted securities will continue to be subject to the restrictions specified in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

*Equity Incentive Plans*

Upon the Class A Conversion, outstanding options, restricted stock units, performance stock units, deferred stock units, dividend equivalent rights and other equity incentive awards issued under any of the Company's equity incentive plans that formerly represented the right to receive, or were formerly denominated in, shares of Class A common stock, if any, remained unchanged, except that, following the Class A Conversion, they represent the right to receive, or are denominated in, shares of Class C common stock rather than shares of Class A common stock.

The foregoing description of the Class A Conversion, the Amended Charter, the Certificate of Retirement and the Restated Charter is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the full text of the Amended Charter, the Certificate of Retirement and the Restated Charter, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 3.1, Exhibit 3.2 and Exhibit 3.3, respectively, to this Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

On April 29, 2026, a Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "**Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation**") was filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Section 2 of Article Four of the Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 2,544,613,853 shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, (ii) 34,613,853 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "**Class A Common Stock**"), (iii) 500,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, (iv) 1,000,000,000 shares of Class C Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "**Class C Common Stock**"), and (v) 1,000,000,000 shares of Class D Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Section 1(c) of Article Four of the Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that (i) from and after the Class A Conversion, all references in the Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to Class A Common Stock shall be deemed to have no further force or effect and the Company shall no longer have authority to issue or reissue shares of Class A Common Stock, (ii) any shares of Class A Common Stock converted pursuant to the Class A Conversion shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred and (iii) the Company may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Class A Common Stock accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. The shares of Class A Common Stock retired hereby constitute all of the authorized shares of the class to which they belong.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. Accordingly, pursuant to the provisions of Section 243(b) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, upon the effective time of the filing of this Certificate of Retirement, (i) all 34,613,853 shares of Class A Common Stock are hereby retired and (ii) this Certificate of Retirement shall have the effect of amending the Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation so as to (a) reduce the total authorized number of shares of Class A Common Stock to zero, (b) reduce the total authorized number of shares of capital stock which the Company may issue from 2,544,613,853 shares to 2,510,000,000 shares and (c) eliminate from the Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation all references to the Class A Common Stock.

Each holder of Class B Common Stock shall have one vote for each share held by such holder on all matters voted upon by the stockholders of the Corporation. Each holder of Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock shall have 1/100<sup>th</sup> of one vote for each share held by such holder on all matters voted upon by the stockholders of the Corporation.

Stock dividends with respect to Class B Common Stock may only be paid with Class B Common Stock. Stock dividends with respect to Class D Common Stock may only be paid with Class D Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.* In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation and of the preferential and other amounts, if any, to which the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled, the holders of all outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Class C Common Stock held by each such stockholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Preemptive Rights.* Except as otherwise provided in this Article FOUR, no holder of Common Stock shall have any preemptive, conversion or other rights to subscribe for additional shares with respect to the Common Stock or any other securities of the Corporation, or to any obligations convertible (directly or indirectly) into securities of the Corporation, whether now or hereafter authorized.

Section 4. *Restrictions on Transfer.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Purported Transfer in Violation of Restrictions.* Unless the approval of the Board of Directors is obtained with respect to a Restricted Transfer, such purported Restricted Transfer shall not be effective to transfer record, beneficial, legal or any other ownership of such Common Stock, and the transferee shall not be entitled to any rights as a stockholder of the Corporation with respect to the Class C Common Stock purported to be purchased, acquired or transferred in the Restricted Transfer (including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends with respect thereto).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Certain Definitions.* For purposes of this Section 4 of Article FOUR:

"*Clearway Public Utility*" means any direct or indirect subsidiary of Clearway Energy LLC that is a "public utility" (as that term is defined in the Federal Power Act).

*"FERC Affiliate*" means any person that is an "affiliate" (as such term is defined in 18 C.F.R. § 35.36(a)(9)) of another person prior to the effective date of the Restricted Transfer.

"*Secondary Market Transaction*" means a purchase or sale of Class C Common Stock by a third-party investor (i) occurring while the Class C Common Stock is publicly-traded, (ii) to which neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries is a party, (iii) over which neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries has control, and (iv) of which neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries would, in the ordinary course, have prior notice. A Secondary Market Transaction does not include, among other things, any reacquisition of Class C Common Stock by the Corporation.

"*Utility Control Threshold*" means holdings such that: (i) a person, collectively with its FERC Affiliates, directly and/or indirectly owns, controls and/or holds with power to vote 10% of the Corporation's outstanding voting securities; or (ii) the sum of the following equals 10%: (A) the percentage of the Corporation's voting securities directly and/or indirectly owned, controlled or held with power to vote by such person, collectively with its FERC Affiliates, other than through CEG, plus (B) the percentage of CEG's voting securities directly and/or indirectly owned, controlled or held with power to vote by such person, collectively with its FERC Affiliates, plus (C) the percentage of any Clearway Public Utility's voting securities directly and/or indirectly owned, controlled or held with power to vote by such person, collectively with its FERC Affiliates, other than through the Corporation or CEG. The percentages of a given entity's voting securities to be determined for purposes of the preceding sentence shall be calculated based on the voting power of the relevant voting securities.

**ARTICLE FIVE**

The Corporation is to have perpetual existence.

**ARTICLE SIX**

Except as provided by this Certificate and any duly authorized certificate of designation of any series of Preferred Stock, each director shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes entitled to be cast by all shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on the election of directors voting as a single class and represented in person or by proxy at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present.

**ARTICLE SEVEN**

Section 1. *Board of Directors.* The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon them by statute or by this Certificate or the Bylaws of the Corporation (as amended and restated, the "*Bylaws*"), the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation.

Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the size of the Board of Directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the total number of directors then in office, although less than a quorum, at any meeting of the Board of Directors. Each director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Nothing in this Certificate shall preclude a director from serving consecutive terms. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the holders of any class or series of capital stock are entitled by the provisions of this Certificate (including any duly authorized certificate of designation of any series of Preferred Stock) to elect one or more directors, such director or directors so elected may be removed with or without cause by the vote of the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by all outstanding shares of that class or series entitled to vote.

Section 4. *Vacancies in the Board of Directors.* Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to remove directors and fill the vacancies thereby created (as specified in any duly authorized certificate of designation of any series of Preferred Stock) and subject to Section 2 of Article SEVEN, vacancies occurring on the Board of Directors for any reason may be filled by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the total number of remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum, at any meeting of the Board of Directors. A person so elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

**ARTICLE EIGHT**

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office in addition to any other vote otherwise required by law.

**ARTICLE NINE**

Section 1. *Indemnification; Limitation of Liability.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists or may hereafter be amended, and except as otherwise provided in the Bylaws, (i) no director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages arising from a breach of fiduciary duty owed to the Corporation or its stockholders; and (ii) the Corporation shall indemnify its officers and directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation in respect of any act, omission or condition existing or event or circumstance occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

**ARTICLE TEN**

**ARTICLE ELEVEN**

Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock to act by written consent as specified in any duly authorized certificate of designation of any series of Preferred Stock, the stockholders of the Corporation may not take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting, and must take any actions at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and the power of stockholders to consent in writing without a meeting is specifically denied.

If any provision or provisions of this Article FIFTEEN shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article FIFTEEN (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article FIFTEEN containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Alternatively, the Managing Member shall cause Clearway Inc. to use a portion of the net cash proceeds to purchase Class B Units or Class D Units from the CEG Member, which Class B Units or Class D Units then will convert into Class C Units immediately upon such purchase. The determination of whether to apply the net cash proceeds received by the Company from any Class C Common Stock Sale in accordance with (i) or (ii) set forth in this <u>Section 3.2(b)</u> or in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence of this <u>Section 3.2(b)</u> shall be made in the Managing Member's sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Exchanges</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Step 1</u>. An Exchanging Class B Member or an Exchanging Class D Member shall deliver to the Managing Member the written election of exchange (an "<u>Exchange Election</u>") as contemplated by <u>Section 2.1(b)</u> of the Exchange Agreement. Upon the Exchange contemplated by an Exchange Election, the number of Class B Units or Class D Units designated in the Exchange Election shall be reclassified into an equal number of Class C Units (such Class C Units, the "<u>Reclassified Units</u>") and such Reclassified Units shall be exchanged as contemplated by Step 2 below and the Exchange Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Step 2</u>. The Reclassified Units shall be delivered to Clearway Inc. in exchange for shares of Class C Common Stock ("<u>Exchange Shares</u>") as contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, which shares of Class C Common Stock shall be delivered by or on behalf of the Company to the Exchanging Class B Member or Exchanging Class D Member, as applicable (as set forth in the Exchange Election). The Reclassified Units shall be deemed automatically issued to Clearway Inc. upon the issuance of the Exchange Shares to the Exchanging Class B Member or Exchanging Class D Member, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Authorization and Issuance of Additional Units</u>. Subject to the limitations on issuing additional Units set forth in this Agreement (including <u>Section 7.4</u>), the requirements set forth in the Exchange Agreement and any applicable listing exchange requirements, the Managing Member may issue additional Classes of Units, other Equity Securities in the Company or other Company securities from time to time with such rights, obligations, powers, designations, preferences and other terms, which may be different from, including senior to, any then existing or future Classes of Units, other Equity Securities in the Company or other Company securities, as the Managing Member shall determine from time to time, in its sole discretion, without the vote or consent of any other Member or any other Person, including (i) the right of such Units, other Equity Securities in the Company or other Company securities to share in Net Income and Net Loss or items thereof, (ii) the right of such Units, other Equity Securities in the Company or other Company securities to share in Company distributions, (iii) the rights of such Units, other Equity Securities or other Company securities upon dissolution and liquidation of the Company, (iv) whether, and the terms and conditions upon which, the Company may or shall be required to redeem such Units, other Equity Securities in the Company or other Company securities (including sinking fund provisions), (v) whether such Units, other Equity Securities in the Company or other Company securities are issued with the privilege of conversion or exchange and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange, (vi) the terms and conditions upon which such Units, other Equity Securities in the Company or other Company securities will be issued, evidenced by certificates or assigned or transferred, (vii) the terms and conditions of the issuance of such Units, other Equity Securities in the Company or other Company securities (including, without limitation, the amount and form of consideration, if any, to be received by the Company in respect thereof, the Managing Member being expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to cause the Company to issue Units, other Equity Securities in the Company or other Company securities for less than Fair Market Value), and (viii) the right, if any, of the holder of such Units, other Equity Securities in the Company or other Company securities to vote on Company matters, including matters relating to the relative designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties of such Units, other Equity Securities in the Company or other Company securities. The Managing Member, without the vote or consent of any other Member or any other Person but subject to <u>Sections 3.1(d)</u> and <u>3.1(e)</u> and any applicable listing exchange requirements, is authorized (i) to issue any Units, other Equity Securities in the Company or other Company securities of any such newly established Class, and (ii) to amend this Agreement to reflect the creation of any such new series, the issuance of Units, other Equity Securities in the Company or other Company securities of such series, and the admission of any Person as a Member which has received Units or other Equity Securities of any such Class, in accordance with this <u>Section 3.2</u>, <u>7.3</u> and <u>9.4</u>. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement to the contrary, any reference to "Units" shall include the Class B Units, the Class C Units, the Class D Units and any other series of Units that may be established in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 3.3. <u>Capital Account</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Managing Member shall maintain for each Member owning Units a separate Capital Account with respect to such Units in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Such Capital Account shall be increased by (i) the amount of all Capital Contributions made to the Company with respect to such Units pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) all items of Company income and gain (including, without limitation, income and gain exempt from tax) computed in accordance with <u>Section 3.3(b)</u> and allocated with respect to such Units pursuant to <u>Section 5.1</u>, and decreased by (x) the amount of cash or Fair Market Value of all actual and deemed distributions of cash or property made with respect to such Units pursuant to this Agreement and (y) all items of Company deduction and loss computed in accordance with <u>Section 3.3(b)</u> and allocated with respect to such Units pursuant to <u>Section 5.1</u>. The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. In the event the Managing Member shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts or any adjustments thereto (including, without limitation, adjustments relating to liabilities which are secured by contributed or distributed property or which are assumed by the Company or any Members) are computed in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, the Managing Member, without the consent of any other Person, may make such modification, notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement; <u>provided</u> that it is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributed or distributable to any Person pursuant to <u>ARTICLE VII</u> hereof upon the dissolution of the Company. The Managing Member, without the consent of any other Person, also shall (i) make any adjustments, notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality among the Capital Accounts of the Members and the amount of capital reflected on the Company's balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q), and (ii) make any appropriate modifications, notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, loss or deduction, which is to be allocated pursuant to <u>ARTICLE V</u> and is to be reflected in the Members' Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax purposes (including, without limitation, any method of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization used for that purpose); <u>provided</u>, that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Solely for purposes of this <u>Section 3.3</u>, the Company shall be treated as owning directly its proportionate share (as determined by the Managing Member) of all property owned by any partnership, limited liability company, unincorporated business or other entity or arrangement that is classified as a partnership or disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes, of which the Company is, directly or indirectly, a partner (in the case of a partnership) or owner (in the case of a disregarded entity).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Company and, as to those items described in Section 705(a) (1) (B) or 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income or are neither currently deductible nor capitalized for federal income tax purposes. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment in the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain or loss.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable disposition of any Company property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property as of such date of disposition were equal in amount to the Company's Carrying Value with respect to such property as of such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) In accordance with the requirements of Section 704(b) of the Code, any deductions for depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to any Contributed Property shall be determined in the manner described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)(3) as if the adjusted basis of such property on the date it was acquired by the Company were equal to the Agreed Value of such property. Upon an adjustment pursuant to <u>Section 3.3(c)</u> to the Carrying Value of any Adjusted Property that is subject to depreciation, cost recovery or amortization, any further deductions for such depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to such property shall be determined in the manner described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) (3) and 1.704-3(a)(6)(i) as if the adjusted basis of such property were equal to the Carrying Value of such property immediately following such adjustment; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, if the asset has a zero adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes, depreciation, cost recovery or amortization deductions shall be determined using any method that the Managing Member may adopt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If a Member transfers an interest in the Company to a new or existing Member, the transferee Member shall succeed to that portion of the transferor's Capital Account that is attributable to the transferred interest. Any reference in this Agreement to a Capital Contribution of, or Distribution to, a Member that has succeeded any other Member shall include any Capital Contributions or Distributions previously made by or to the former Member on account of the interest of such former Member transferred to such successor Member. In addition, the following shall apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) In accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), on an issuance of additional Units for cash or Contributed Property, the Capital Account of all Members and the Carrying Value of each Company property immediately prior to such issuance shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Company property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property immediately prior to such issuance and had been allocated to the Members at such time pursuant to <u>Section 5.1</u> in the same manner as a corresponding item of gain or loss actually recognized during such period would have been allocated. In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the aggregate cash amount and Fair Market Value of all Company assets (including, without limitation, cash or cash equivalents) immediately prior to the issuance of additional Units shall be determined by the Managing Member using such method of valuation as it may adopt; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Managing Member, in arriving at such valuation, must take fully into account the Fair Market Value of the Units of all Members at such time. The Managing Member shall allocate such aggregate value among the assets of the Company (in such manner as it determines) to arrive at a Fair Market Value for individual properties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) In accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), immediately prior to any actual or deemed distribution to a Member of any Company property (other than a distribution of cash that is not in redemption or retirement of a Unit), the Capital Accounts of all Members and the Carrying Value of all Company property shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Company property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized in a sale of such property immediately prior to such distribution for an amount equal to its Fair Market Value, and had been allocated to the Members, at such time, pursuant to <u>Section 5.1</u> in the same manner as a corresponding item of gain or loss actually recognized during such period would have been allocated. In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the aggregate cash amount and Fair Market Value of all Company assets (including, without limitation, cash or cash equivalents) immediately prior to a distribution shall (A) in the case of an actual distribution that is not made pursuant to <u>ARTICLE VII</u> or in the case of a deemed distribution, be determined and allocated in the same manner as that provided in <u>Section 3.3(c)</u> or (B) in the case of a liquidating distribution pursuant to <u>ARTICLE VII</u>, be determined and allocated by the Person winding up the Company pursuant to <u>Section 7.2(c)</u> using such method of valuation as it may adopt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The Managing Member may make the adjustments described in this <u>Section 3.3(c)</u> in the manner set forth herein if the Managing Member determines that such adjustments are necessary or useful to effectuate the intended economic arrangement among the Members, including Members who received Units in connection with the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event the Managing Member shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto, are computed in order to effectuate the intended economic sharing arrangement of the Members, the Managing Member may make such modification, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, without the consent of any other Person.

Section 3.4. <u>No Withdrawal</u>. No Person shall be entitled to withdraw any part of such Person's Capital Contributions or Capital Account or to receive any distribution from the Company, except as expressly provided herein.

Section 3.5. <u>Loans From Members</u>. Loans by Members to the Company shall not be considered Capital Contributions. If any Member shall loan funds to the Company, then the making of such loans shall not result in any increase in the Capital Account balance of such Member. The amount of any such loans shall be a debt of the Company to such Member and shall be payable or collectible in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such loans are made.

Section 3.6. <u>No Right of Partition</u>. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no Member shall have the right to seek or obtain partition by court decree or operation of law of any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the right to own or use particular or individual assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, be entitled to distributions of specific assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 3.7. <u>Non-Certification of Units; Legend; Units are Securities</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Units shall be issued in non-certificated form; <u>provided</u> that the Managing Member may cause the Company to issue certificates to a Member representing the Units held by such Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the Managing Member determines that the Company shall issue certificates representing Units to any Member, the following provisions of this <u>Section 3.7</u> shall apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Company shall issue one or more certificates in the name of such Person in such form as it may approve, subject to <u>Section 3.7(b)(ii)</u> (a "<u>Membership Interest Certificate</u>"), which shall evidence the ownership of the Units represented thereby. Each such Membership Interest Certificate shall be denominated in terms of the number of Units evidenced by such Membership Interest Certificate and shall be signed by the Managing Member or an Officer on behalf of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Each Membership Interest Certificate shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Each Unit shall constitute a "security" within the meaning of, and shall be governed by, (i) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (including Section 8-102(a)(15) thereof) as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware, and (ii) the corresponding provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) makes proof by affidavit, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that such previously issued Membership Interest Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) if requested by the Company, delivers to the Company such security, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, as the Managing Member may direct, to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made on account of the alleged loss, destruction or theft of the previously issued Membership Interest Certificate; and

Any Member or any of their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Company, including business interests and activities in direct competition with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Person in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has an ownership interest.

**Article IV** **<br> DISTRIBUTIONS**

Section 4.1. <u>Determination of Distributions</u>. Distributions shall be made to the Members pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests when and in such amounts as determined by the Managing Member, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u> that in the event the Company issues Class C Units or securities convertible or exchangeable for Class C Units for less than Fair Market Value, the amount distributed on account of Class B Units and Class D Units relative to Class C Units shall be equitably adjusted by the Managing Member.

Section 4.2. <u>Successors</u>.

To the extent that the Company is required or elects to withhold and pay over to any taxing authority any amount resulting from the allocation or distribution of income to any Member (including by reason of Section 1446 of the Code), the Managing Member may treat the amount withheld as a distribution of cash pursuant to this <u>ARTICLE IV</u> in the amount of such withholding from such Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Net Income and Net Losses (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain or loss or deduction of the Company) shall be allocated in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Member after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in <u>Section 5.1(b)</u> is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to (i) the distributions that would be made pursuant to <u>Section 7.2</u> if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Carrying Value, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each non-recourse liability to the Carrying Value of the assets securing such liability) and the net assets of the Company were distributed to the Members pursuant to this Agreement, minus (ii) such Member's share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Special Allocations</u>. Notwithstanding any other provision of this <u>Section 5.1</u>, the following special allocations shall be made for such taxable period:

Notwithstanding any other provision of this <u>Section 5.1</u>, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Company taxable period, each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts determined according to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(i), or any successor provision. For purposes of this <u>Section 5.1(b)</u>, each Member's Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income and gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this <u>Section 5.1(b)</u> with respect to such taxable period (other than an allocation pursuant to <u>Section 5.1(b)(iii)</u> and <u>Section 5.1(b)(vi)</u>). This <u>Section 5.1(b)(i)</u> is intended to comply with the Company Minimum Gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Chargeback of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain</u>. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this <u>Section 5.1</u> (other than <u>Section 5.1(b)(i)</u>), except as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Company taxable period, any Member with a share of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain at the beginning of such taxable period shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts determined according to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4), or any successor provisions. For purposes of this <u>Section 5.1(b</u>), each Member's Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income and gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this <u>Section 5.1(b)</u>, other than <u>Section 5.1(b)(i)</u> and other than an allocation pursuant to <u>Section 5.1(b)(i)(v)</u> and <u>Section 5.1(b)(i)(vi)</u>, with respect to such taxable period. This <u>Section 5.1(b)(ii)</u> is intended to comply with the chargeback of items of income and gain requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) <u>Gross Income Allocations</u>. In the event any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any Company taxable period in excess of the sum of (A) the amount such Member is required to restore pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and (B) the amount such Member is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; <u>provided</u>, that an allocation pursuant to this <u>Section 5.1(b)(iv)</u> shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account as adjusted after all other allocations provided for in this <u>Section 5.1</u> have been tentatively made as if this <u>Section 5.1(b)(iv)</u> were not in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) <u>Nonrecourse Deductions</u>. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. If the Managing Member determines that the Company's Nonrecourse Deductions should be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the Managing Member is authorized, upon notice to the other Members, to revise the prescribed ratio to the numerically closest ratio that does satisfy such requirements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) <u>Member Nonrecourse Deductions</u>. Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated 100% to the Member that bears the "Economic Risk of Loss" (as defined in the Treasury Regulations) with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). If more than one Member bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to a Member Nonrecourse Debt, such Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated between or among such Members in accordance with the ratios in which they share such Economic Risk of Loss.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) <u>Nonrecourse Liabilities</u>. Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Company described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3) shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) <u>Code Section 754 Adjustments</u>. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 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 item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) <u>Curative Allocation</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) The allocations set forth in Section 5.1(b)(i), (ii), (iii) and (viii) (the "<u>Required Allocations</u>") are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Required Allocations shall be offset either with other Required Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this <u>Section 5.1(b)(ix)(A)</u>. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this <u>ARTICLE V</u> (other than the Required 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 Required Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to the economic agreement among the Members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) The Managing Member shall, with respect to each taxable period, (1) apply the provisions of <u>Section 5.1(b)(ix)(A)</u> in whatever order is most likely to minimize the economic distortions that might otherwise result from the Required Allocations, and (2) divide all allocations pursuant to <u>Section 5.1(b)(ix)(A)</u> among the Members in a manner that is likely to minimize such economic distortions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) <u>Deficit Capital Accounts</u>. No Member shall be required to pay to the Company, to any other Member or to any third party any deficit balance which may exist from time to time in the Member's Capital Account.

Section 5.2. <u>Allocations for Tax Purposes</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The income, gains, losses and deductions of the Company shall be allocated for federal, state and local income tax purposes among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses and deductions among the Members for purposes of computing their Capital Accounts; except that if any such allocation is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, then the Company's subsequent income, gains, losses and deductions for tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In an attempt to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to a Contributed Property or an Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, loss, depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Members as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) In the case of a Contributed Property, such items attributable thereto shall be allocated among the Members in the manner provided under Section 704(c) of the Code that takes into account the variation between the Agreed Value of such property and its adjusted basis at the time of contribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) In the case of an Adjusted Property, such items shall (A) first, be allocated among the Members in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such property and the allocations thereof pursuant to <u>Section 3.3(c)(i)</u> or <u>Section 3.3(c)(ii)</u>, and (B) second, in the event such property was originally a Contributed Property, be allocated among the Members in a manner consistent with <u>Section 5.2(b)(i)(A)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) In order to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities, the Managing Member may cause the Company to use any method described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) For purposes of determining the items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit allocable to any Member with respect to any period, such items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Managing Member using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Tax credits, tax credit recapture and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as reasonably determined by the Managing Member taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii) and 1.704-1T(b)(4)(xi).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Allocations pursuant to this <u>Section 5.2</u> are solely for the purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account or share of Income, Loss, distributions or other Company items pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) For the proper administration of the Company, the Managing Member shall (i) adopt such conventions as it deems appropriate in determining the amount of depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions; (ii) make special allocations for federal income tax purposes of income (including, without limitation, gross income) or deductions; (iii) without the consent of any other Person being required, amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) or Section 704(c) of the Code; and (iv) adopt and employ such methods for (A) the maintenance of capital accounts for book and tax purposes, (B) the determination and allocation of adjustments under Sections 734 and 743 of the Code, (C) the determination and allocation of taxable income, tax loss and items thereof under this Agreement and pursuant to the Code, (D) the determination of the identities and tax classification of Members, (E) the provision of tax information and reports to the Members, (F) the adoption of reasonable conventions and methods for the valuation of assets and the determination of tax basis, (G) the allocation of asset values and tax basis, (H) the adoption and maintenance of accounting methods, (I) the recognition of the transfer of Units and (J) tax compliance and other tax-related requirements, including without limitation, the use of computer software, in each case, as it determines in its sole discretion are necessary and appropriate to execute the provisions of this Agreement and to comply with federal, state and local tax law. The Managing Member may adopt such conventions and make such allocations as provided in this <u>Section 5.2(f)</u> without the consent of a Member only if such conventions or allocations would not have a material adverse effect on such affected Member, and if such allocations are consistent with the principles of Section 704 of the Code.

Section 5.3. <u>Members' Tax Reporting</u>. The Members acknowledge and are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made pursuant to this <u>ARTICLE V</u> and, except as may otherwise be required by applicable law or regulatory requirements, hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this <u>ARTICLE V</u> in reporting their shares of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for federal, state and local income tax purposes.

Section 5.4. <u>Certain Costs and Expenses</u>. The Company shall (i) 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 activities of the Company, and (ii) reimburse the Managing Member for any costs, fees or expenses incurred by it in connection with serving as the Managing Member. To the extent that the Managing Member determines in its sole discretion that such expenses are related to the business and affairs of the Managing Member that are conducted through the Company and/or its subsidiaries (including expenses that relate to the business and affairs of the Company and/or its subsidiaries and that also relate to other activities of the Managing Member), the Managing Member may cause the Company to pay or bear all expenses of the Managing Member, including, without suggesting any limitation of any kind, costs of securities offerings not borne directly by Members, board of directors compensation and meeting costs, cost of periodic reports to its stockholders, litigation costs and damages arising from litigation, accounting and legal costs and franchise taxes, provided that the Company shall not pay or bear any income tax obligations of the Managing Member.

**Article VI** **<br> MANAGEMENT**

Section 6.1. <u>Managing Member; Delegation of Authority and Duties</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Authority of Managing Member</u>. The business, property and affairs of the Company shall be managed under the sole, absolute and exclusive direction of the Managing Member, which may from time to time delegate authority to Officers or to others to act on behalf of the Company. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 6.1(a)</u>, the Managing Member shall have the sole power to manage or cause the management of the Company, including the power and authority to effectuate the sale, lease, transfer, exchange or other disposition of any, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (including, but not limited to, the exercise or grant of any conversion, option, privilege or subscription right or any other right available in connection with any assets at any time held by the Company) or the merger, consolidation, reorganization or other combination of the Company with or into another entity. Clearway Inc. is the initial Managing Member of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Other Members</u>. No Member who is not also a Managing Member, in his or her or its capacity as such, shall participate in or have any control over the business of the Company. Except as expressly provided herein, the Units, other Equity Securities in the Company, or the fact of a Member's admission as a member of the Company do not confer any rights upon the Members to participate in the management of the affairs of the Company. Except as expressly provided herein, no Member who is not also a Managing Member shall have any right to vote on any matter involving the Company, including with respect to any merger, consolidation, combination or conversion of the Company, or any other matter that a Member might otherwise have the ability to vote or consent with respect to under the Act, at law, in equity or otherwise. The conduct, control and management of the Company shall be vested exclusively in the Managing Member. In all matters relating to or arising out of the conduct of the operation of the Company, the decision of the Managing Member shall be the decision of the Company. Except as required by law or expressly provided in <u>Section 6.1(c)</u> or by separate agreement with the Company, no Member who is not also a Managing Member (and acting in such capacity) shall take any part in the management or control of the operation or business of the Company in its capacity as a Member, nor shall any Member who is not also a Managing Member (and acting in such capacity) have any right, authority or power to act for or on behalf of or bind the Company in his or her or its capacity as a Member in any respect or assume any obligation or responsibility of the Company or of any other Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Delegation by Managing Member</u>. The Company may employ one or more Members from time to time, and such Members, in their capacity as employees or agents of the Company (and not, for clarity, in their capacity as Members of the Company), may take part in the control and management of the business of the Company to the extent such authority and power to act for or on behalf of the Company has been delegated to them by the Managing Member. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Managing Member shall have the power and authority to delegate to one or more other Persons the Managing Member's rights and powers to manage and control the business and affairs of the Company, including to delegate to agents and employees of a Member or the Company (including Officers), and to delegate by a management agreement or another agreement with, or otherwise to, other Persons. The Managing Member may authorize any Person (including any Member or Officer) to enter into and perform any document on behalf of the Company.

Section 6.2. <u>Officers</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Designation and Appointment</u>. The Managing Member may, from time to time, employ and retain Persons as may be necessary or appropriate for the conduct of the Company's business, including employees, agents and other Persons (any of whom may be a Member) who may be designated as Officers of the Company, with such titles as and to the extent authorized by the Managing Member. Any number of offices may be held by the same Person. In its discretion, the Managing Member may choose not to fill any office for any period as it may deem advisable. Officers need not be residents of the State of Delaware or Members. Any Officers so designated shall have such authority and perform such duties as the Managing Member may from time to time delegate to them. The Managing Member may assign titles to particular Officers. Each Officer shall hold office until his successor shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until his death or until he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided. The salaries or other compensation, if any, of the Officers of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by the Managing Member. Designation of an Officer shall not of itself create any employment or, except as provided in <u>Section 6.4</u>, contractual rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Resignation and Removal</u>. Any Officer may resign as such at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time is specified, at the time of its receipt by the Managing Member. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. All employees, agents and Officers shall be subject to the supervision and direction of the Managing Member and may be removed, with or without cause, from such office by the Managing Member and the authority, duties or responsibilities of any employee, agent or Officer of the Company may be suspended by or altered by the Managing Member from time to time, in each case in the sole discretion of the Managing Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Officers as Agents</u>. The Officers, to the extent of their powers, authority and duties set forth in this Agreement or an employment agreement or otherwise vested in them by the Managing Member, are agents of the Company for the purposes of the Company's business and the actions of the Officers taken in accordance with such powers shall bind the Company.

Section 6.3. <u>Liability of Members</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>No Personal Liability</u>. Except as otherwise required by applicable law and as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Member shall have any personal liability whatsoever in such Person's capacity as a Member, whether to the Company, to any of the other Members, to the creditors of the Company or to any other third party, for the debts, liabilities, commitments or any other obligations of the Company or for any losses of the Company. Except as otherwise required by the Act, each Member shall be liable only to make such Member's Capital Contribution to the Company, if applicable, and the other payments provided for expressly herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Return of Distributions</u>. In accordance with the Act and the laws of the State of Delaware, a Member may, under certain circumstances, be required to return amounts previously distributed to such Member. It is the intent of the Members that no distribution to any Member pursuant to <u>ARTICLE IV</u> shall be deemed a return of money or other property paid or distributed in violation of the Act. The payment of any such money or distribution of any such property to a Member shall be deemed to be a compromise within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Act, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any Member receiving any such money or property shall not be required to return any such money or property to the Company or any other Person. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member and not of any other Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>No Duties</u>. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise, the parties hereby agree that the Members (including without limitation, the Managing Member), shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, including Section 18-1101(c) of the Act, owe no duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Company, the other Members or any other Person who is a party to or otherwise bound by this Agreement; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that nothing contained in this <u>Section 6.3(c)</u> shall eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. To the extent that, at law or in equity, any Member (including without limitation, the Managing Member) has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company, to another Member or to another Person who is a party to or otherwise bound by this Agreement, the Members (including without limitation, the Managing Member) acting under this Agreement will not be liable to the Company, to any such other Member or to any such other Person who is a party to or otherwise bound by this Agreement, for their good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities relating thereto of any Member (including without limitation, the Managing Member) otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace to that extent such other duties and liabilities of the Members (including without limitation, the Managing Member) relating thereto. The Managing Member may consult with legal counsel, accountants and financial or other advisors and any act or omission suffered or taken by the Managing Member on behalf of the Company or in furtherance of the interests of the Company in good faith in reliance upon and in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or financial or other advisors will be full justification for any such act or omission, and the Managing Member will be fully protected in so acting or omitting to act so long as such counsel or accountants or financial or other advisors were selected with reasonable care. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise applicable provision of law or equity, whenever in this Agreement the Managing Member is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its "sole discretion" or "discretion" or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Managing Member shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or the other Members, or (ii) in its "good faith" or under another expressed standard, the Managing Member shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards.

Section 6.4. <u>Indemnification by the Company</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment)) but subject to the limitations expressly provided in this Agreement, all Indemnitees shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its acting in the capacity that gave rise to its status as an Indemnitee (a "<u>Proceeding</u>"); <u>provided,</u> that the Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless if there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this <u>Section 6.4</u>, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful. Any indemnification pursuant to this <u>Section 6.4</u> shall be made only out of the assets of the Company, it being agreed that the Managing Member shall not be personally liable for such indemnification and shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Company to enable it to effectuate such indemnification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee who is indemnified pursuant to <u>Section 6.4(a)</u> in defending any Proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to a determination that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified upon receipt by the Company of any 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 authorized in this <u>Section 6.4</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The rights provided by this <u>Section 6.4</u> shall be deemed contract rights and shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the holders of the Membership Interests, as a matter of law or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnitee's capacity as an Indemnitee and as to actions in any other 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries and such other Persons as the Managing Member shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such Person in connection with the Company's activities or such Person's activities on behalf of the Company, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) For purposes of this <u>Section 6.4</u>, the Company shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Company also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute "fines" within the meaning of <u>Section 6.4(a)</u>; and action taken or omitted by it with respect to any employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the best interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose that is in the best interests of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Members to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this <u>Section 6.4</u> because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The provisions of this <u>Section 6.4</u> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) No amendment, modification or repeal of this <u>Section 6.4</u> or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Company, nor the obligations of the Company to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this <u>Section 6.4</u> as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted. It is expressly acknowledged that the indemnification provided in this <u>Section 6.4</u> could involve indemnification for negligence or under theories of strict liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnitee shall be entitled to any indemnity or advancement of expenses in connection with any Proceeding brought (i) by such Indemnitee against the Company (other than to enforce the rights of such Indemnitee pursuant to this <u>Section 6.4</u>), any Member or any Officer, or (ii) by or in the right of the Company, without the prior written consent of the Managing Member.

Section 6.5. <u>Liability of Indemnitees</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for monetary damages to the Company, the Members or any other Persons who have acquired interests in the Company, for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of an Indemnitee unless there has been a final and nonappealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter in question, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee's conduct was criminal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Managing Member may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents, and the Managing Member shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by the Managing Member in good faith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnitee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to the Members, the Managing Member and any other Indemnitee acting in connection with the Company's business or affairs shall not be liable to the Company or to any Member for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this <u>Section 6.5</u> or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of the Indemnitees under this <u>Section 6.5</u> as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

Section 6.6. <u>Investment Representations of Members</u>. Each Member hereby represents, warrants and acknowledges to the Company that: (a) such Member has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and is making an informed investment decision with respect thereto; (b) such Member is acquiring interests in the Company for investment only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution to the public or public offering thereof; and (c) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by such Member.

In the event of a dissolution pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, 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 <u>Section 7.2(c)</u> below in connection with the winding up of the Company, taking into consideration tax and other legal constraints that may adversely affect one or more parties hereto and subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, unless, with respect to any Class of Units, holders of not less than 90% of the Units of such Class consent in writing to a treatment other than as described above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Actions Upon Dissolution</u>. When the Company is dissolved, the business and property of the Company shall be wound up and liquidated by the Managing Member or, in the event of the unavailability of the Managing Member or if the Managing Member shall so determine, such Member or other liquidating trustee as shall be named by the Managing Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Priority</u>. 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 <u>Section 7.2</u> to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up. Upon dissolution of the Company, the assets of the Company shall be applied in the following manner and order of priority: (i) to creditors, including Members who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of liabilities of the Company (including all contingent, conditional or unmatured claims), whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof; and (ii) the balance shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with <u>ARTICLE IV</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Cancellation of Certificate</u>. The Company shall terminate when (i) all of the assets of the Company, after payment of or due provision for all debts liabilities and obligations of the Company, shall have been distributed to the Members in the manner provided for in this Agreement and (ii) the Certificate shall have been canceled in the manner required by the Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Return of Capital</u>.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "<u>HSR Act</u>"), is applicable to any Member by reason of the fact that any assets of the Company will be distributed to such Member in connection with the dissolution of the Company, the distribution of any assets of the Company shall not be consummated until such time as the applicable waiting periods (and extensions thereof) under the HSR Act have expired or otherwise been terminated with respect to each such Member.

Section 7.3. <u>Transfer by Members</u>. No Member may Transfer all or any portion of its Units or other interests or rights in the Company except as provided in <u>Section 3.2</u> or otherwise with the written consent of the Managing Member (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, subject to the provisions of <u>Section 7.4(c)</u> (other than the provisions of <u>Section 7.4(c)(v)</u> to the extent that such provisions relate to the delivery of legal and/or tax opinions), without the consent of the Managing Member, a Member may, at any time, Transfer any of such Member's Units pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. In addition, unless the Managing Member determines in good faith that a proposed Transfer would violate <u>Section 7.4(c)</u> below, the Managing Member shall be deemed to have consented to a Transfer (i) by a Class B Member of Class B Units then held by such Member to a Permitted Transferee, (ii) by a Class D Member of Class D Units then held by such Member to a Permitted Transferee or (iii) to a Successor in Interest; <u>provided</u>, that in connection with any such Transfer, the transferor shall transfer an equivalent number of shares of Class B Common Stock or Class D Common Stock (as applicable) to the transferee, in accordance with the terms of the Clearway Inc. Charter. Any purported Transfer of all or a portion of a Member's Units or other interests in the Company not complying with this <u>Section 7.3</u> shall be void and shall not create any obligation on the part of the Company or the other Members to recognize that Transfer or to deal with the Person to which the Transfer purportedly was made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Class C Units shall not be Transferable, except to a transferring Class C Member's Successor in Interest (as applicable) or pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.

Section 7.4. <u>Admission or Substitution of New Members</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Admission</u>. Without the consent of any other Person, the Managing Member shall have the right to admit as a Substituted Member or an Additional Member, any Person who acquires an interest in the Company, or any part thereof, from a Member or from the Company. Concurrently with the admission of a Substituted Member or an Additional Member, the Managing Member shall forthwith (i) amend the Schedule of Members to reflect the name and address of such Substituted Member or Additional Member and to eliminate or modify, as applicable, the name and address of the Transferring Member with regard to the Transferred Units and (ii) cause any necessary papers to be filed and recorded and notice to be given wherever and to the extent required showing the substitution of a Transferee as a Substituted Member in place of the Transferring Member, or the admission of an Additional Member, in each case, at the expense, including payment of any professional and filing fees incurred, of such Substituted Member or Additional Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Conditions and Limitations</u>. The admission of any Person as a Substituted Member or an Additional Member shall be conditioned upon such Person's written acceptance and adoption of all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by execution and delivery of the Adoption Agreement in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit A</u> or such other written instrument(s) in form and substance satisfactory to the Managing Member on behalf of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Prohibited Transfers</u>. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, unless each of the Members agrees otherwise in writing, in no event may any Transfer of a Unit or other interest in the Company be made by any Member or Assignee if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) such Transfer is made to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own such Unit or other interest in the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) except as otherwise provided pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, such Transfer (which solely for purposes of this <u>Section 7.4(c)</u> shall include the issuance of Units upon the exercise of an option or warrant to acquire such Unit) would not be within (or would cause the Company to fail to qualify for) one or more of the safe harbors described in paragraphs (e), (f), (g), (h) or (j) of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1 or otherwise would pose a material risk that the Company could be treated as a "publicly traded partnership" within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) such Transfer would require the registration of such transferred Unit or other interest in the Company or of any Class of Unit or other interest in the Company pursuant to any applicable United States federal or state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) or other non-U.S. securities laws (including Canadian provincial or territorial securities laws) or would constitute a non-exempt distribution pursuant to applicable provincial or state securities laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) such Transfer would cause any portion of the assets of the Company to become "plan assets" of any "benefit plan investor" within the meaning of regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor at Section 2510.3-101 of Part 2510 of Chapter XXV, Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations as modified by Section 3(42) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) to the extent requested by the Managing Member, the Company does not receive such legal and/or tax opinions and written instruments (including, without limitation, copies of any instruments of Transfer and such Assignee's consent to be bound by this Agreement as an Assignee) that are in a form satisfactory to the Managing Member, as determined in the Managing Member's sole discretion.

In addition, notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, to the extent the Managing Member shall determine that interests in the Company do not meet or will not meet the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h) or could cause the Company to be treated as a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code, the Managing Member may impose such restrictions on the Transfer of Units or other interests in the Company as the Managing Member may determine to be necessary or advisable so that the Company is not treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation under Section 7704 of the Code.

Any Transfer in violation of <u>Section 7.3</u> or this <u>Section 7.4(c)</u> shall be null and void ab initio and of no effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Effect of Transfer to Substituted Member</u>. Following the Transfer of any Unit or other interest in the Company that is permitted under <u>Sections 7.3</u> and <u>7.4</u>, the Transferee of such Unit or other interest in the Company shall be treated as having made all of the Capital Contributions in respect of, and received all of the distributions received in respect of, such Unit or other interest in the Company, shall succeed to the Capital Account balance associated with such Unit or other interest in the Company, shall receive allocations and distributions under <u>ARTICLE IV</u> and <u>ARTICLE V</u> in respect of such Unit or other interest in the Company and otherwise shall become a Substituted Member entitled to all the rights of a Member with respect to such Unit or other interest in the Company.

Section 7.5. <u>Additional Requirements</u>. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, for the avoidance of doubt, the Managing Member may impose such vesting requirements, forfeiture provisions, Transfer restrictions, minimum retained ownership requirements or other similar provisions with respect to any interests in the Company that are outstanding as of the date of this Agreement or are created hereafter, with the written consent of the holder of such interests in the Company. Such requirements, provisions and restrictions need not be uniform among holders of interests in the Company and may be waived or released by the Managing Member in its sole discretion with respect to all or a portion of the interests in the Company owned by any one or more Members or Assignees at any time and from time to time, and such actions or omissions by the Managing Member shall not constitute the breach of this Agreement or of any duty hereunder or otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise.

Section 7.6. <u>Bankruptcy</u>. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Bankruptcy of a Member shall not cause such Member to cease to be a member of the Company and upon the occurrence of such an event, the Company shall continue without dissolution.

Section 7.7. <u>Mandatory Exchange</u>. The Managing Member may, with the consent of each of the Class B Members and Class D Members who, together with its Affiliates and Permitted Transferees, beneficially own at least 75% of the Class B Units and Class D Units in the aggregate, require all Members holding Class B Units or Class D Units to exchange all such Units held by them pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. Any exchange of Class B Units and Class D Units pursuant to this <u>Section 7.7</u> shall be treated as a transfer of Units governed by <u>Section 3.2(c)</u>.

**Article VIII** **<br> BOOKS AND RECORDS; FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION; TAX MATTERS**

Section 8.1. <u>Books and Records</u>. The Company shall keep at its principal executive office (i) correct and complete books and records of account (which, in the case of financial records, shall be kept in accordance with GAAP), (ii) minutes of the proceedings of meetings of the Members, (iii) a current list of the directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective residence addresses, and (iv) a record containing the names and addresses of all Members, the total number of Units held by each Member, and the dates when they respectively became the owners of record thereof. Any of the foregoing books, minutes or records may be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, notwithstanding the rights set forth in Section 18-305 of the Act, no Member shall have the right to obtain information from the Company.

Section 8.2. <u>Information</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Members shall be supplied at the Company's expense with all other Company information reasonably necessary to enable each Member to prepare its federal, state, and local income tax returns on a timely basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) All determinations, valuations and other matters of judgment required to be made for ordinary course accounting purposes under this Agreement shall be made by the Managing Member and shall be conclusive and binding on all Members, their Successors in Interest and any other Person who is a party to or otherwise bound by this Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted by law or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no such Person shall have the right to an accounting or an appraisal of the assets of the Company or any successor thereto.

Section 8.3. <u>Fiscal Year</u>. The Fiscal Year of the Company shall end on December 31st unless otherwise determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion in accordance with Section 706 of the Code.

Section 8.4. <u>Certain Tax Matters</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Preparation of Returns</u>. The Managing Member shall cause to be prepared all federal, state and local tax returns of the Company for each year for which such returns are required to be filed and shall cause such returns to be timely filed. The Managing Member shall determine the appropriate treatment of each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company and the accounting methods and conventions under the tax laws of the United States of America, the several states and other relevant jurisdictions as to the treatment of any such item or any other method or procedure related to the preparation of such tax returns. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, the Managing Member may cause the Company to make or refrain from making any and all elections permitted by such tax laws. As promptly as practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to provide to each Member a Schedule K-1 for such Fiscal Year. Additionally, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to provide on a timely basis to each Member, to the extent commercially reasonable and available to the Company without undue cost, any information reasonably required by the Member to prepare, or in connection with an audit of, such Member's income tax returns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Consistent Treatment</u>. Each Member agrees that it shall not, except as otherwise required by applicable law or regulatory requirements, (i) treat, on its individual income tax returns, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit relating to its interest in the Company in a manner inconsistent with the treatment of such item by the Company as reflected on the Schedule K-1 or other information statement furnished by the Company to such Member for use in preparing its income tax returns or (ii) file any claim for refund relating to any such item based on, or which would result in, such inconsistent treatment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Duties of the Tax Matters Member and Partnership Representative</u>. In respect of an income tax audit of any tax return of the Company, the filing of any amended return or claim for refund in connection with any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit reflected on any tax return of the Company, or any administrative or judicial proceedings arising out of or in connection with any such audit, amended return, claim for refund or denial of such claim, (i) the Managing Member shall direct the Tax Matters Member or Partnership Representative, as applicable, to act for, and such action shall be final and binding upon, the Company and all Members except to the extent a Member shall properly elect to be excluded from such proceeding pursuant to the Code, (ii) all expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Member or Partnership Representative, as applicable, in connection therewith (including attorneys', accountants' and other experts' fees and disbursements) shall be expenses of, and payable by, the Company, (iii) no Member shall have the right to (A) participate in the audit of any Company tax return, (B) file any amended return or claim for refund in connection with any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (other than items which are not partnership items within the meaning of Code Section 6231(a) (4) or which cease to be partnership items under Code Section 6231(b)) reflected on any tax return of the Company, (C) participate in any administrative or judicial proceedings conducted by the Company, the Tax Matters Member or Partnership Representative, as applicable, arising out of or in connection with any such audit, amended return, claim for refund or denial of such claim, or (D) appeal, challenge or otherwise protest any adverse findings in any such audit conducted by the Company, the Tax Matters Member or Partnership Representative, as applicable, or with respect to any such amended return or claim for refund filed by the Company, the Tax Matters Member or Partnership Representative, as applicable, or in any such administrative or judicial proceedings conducted by the Company, the Tax Matters Member or Partnership Representative, as applicable, and (iv) the Tax Matters Member or Partnership Representative, as applicable, shall keep the Members reasonably apprised of the status of any such proceeding. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if a petition for a readjustment to any partnership item included in a final partnership administrative adjustment is filed with a District Court or the Court of Claims and the IRS has elected to assess income tax against a Member with respect to that final partnership administrative adjustment (rather than suspending assessments until the District Court or Court of Claims proceedings become final), such Member shall be permitted to file a claim for refund within such period of time as to avoid application of any statute of limitations which would otherwise prevent the Member from having any claim based on the final outcome of that review.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Tax Matters Member and Partnership Representative</u>. The Company and each Member hereby designate the Managing Member as (i) the "tax matters partner" for purposes of Code Section 6231(a)(7) (the "<u>Tax Matters Member</u>") and (ii) the "partnership representative" for purposes of Code Section 6223 (the "<u>Partnership Representative</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Certain Filings</u>. Upon the Transfer of an interest in the Company (within the meaning of the Code), a sale of Company assets or a liquidation of the Company, the Members shall provide the Managing Member with information and shall make tax filings as reasonably requested by the Managing Member and required under applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Section 754 Election</u>. The Managing Member shall cause the Company to make and to maintain and keep in effect at all times, in accordance with Sections 734, 743 and 754 of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations and comparable state law provisions, an election to adjust basis in the event (i) any Class B Unit or Class D Unit is Transferred in accordance with this Agreement or the Exchange Agreement or (ii) any Company property is distributed to any Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Imputed Underpayment</u>. If the Company pays an imputed underpayment pursuant to Section 6225 of the Code, to the extent possible, the portion thereof attributable to a Member shall be treated as a withholding tax with respect to such Member under <u>Section 4.3</u>. To the extent that such portion of an imputed underpayment cannot be withheld from a current distribution, the Member (or former Member) shall be liable to the Company for the amount that cannot be so offset (including any liability for Taxes, penalties, additions to Tax or interest). The Company may elect the alternative set forth in Section 6226 of the Code instead of paying the imputed underpayment.

**Article IX** **<br> MISCELLANEOUS**

The parties hereto agree that any terms contained in any such separate agreement shall govern with respect to such Member(s) party thereto notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement. The Managing Member may from time to time execute and deliver to the Members schedules which set forth information contained in the books and records of the Company and any other matters deemed appropriate by the Managing Member. Such schedules shall be for information purposes only and shall not be deemed to be part of this Agreement for any purpose whatsoever.

Section 9.2. <u>Governing Law; Disputes</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any dispute, controversy or claim solely arising out of, relating to or in connection with rights or obligations of any Member holding Units of a Class vis-à-vis a Member holding Units of another Class shall be finally settled by arbitration.

The arbitration shall be conducted by three neutral, impartial and independent arbitrators, who shall be appointed by the AAA, at least one of whom shall be a retired judge or a senior partner at one of the nationally recognized Delaware-based law firms. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties.

**Clearway Energy, Inc. Announces Results of 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders**

*Stockholders Approve Proposal to Simplify Public Share Class Structure*

PRINCETON, N.J., April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Clearway Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CWEN, CWEN.A) (the "Company") today announced that, at the Company's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"), the Company's stockholders approved the proposal to amend and restate the Company's certificate of incorporation (the "Charter Amendment"), as recommended by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), to simplify the Company's public share class structure into a single share class.

The Charter Amendment will result in the conversion of each share of the Company's Class A common stock into one share of the Company's Class C common stock (the "Class A Conversion"). Under the terms of the Charter Amendment, which the Company filed today with the Delaware Secretary of State, the Class A Conversion will occur automatically at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on May 1, 2026. Stockholders do not need to take any action with respect to the Class A Conversion. The Company expects that the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") will suspend trading in shares of the Class A common stock before the market opens on May 1, 2026 and that the shares of Class C common stock that are received upon the Class A Conversion will commence trading on May 1, 2026.

In connection with the Class A Conversion, Clearway Energy Group LLC ("CEG"), the owner of all of the Company's outstanding Class B common stock and Class D common stock, entered into a Voting Trust Agreement (the "Voting Trust Agreement") designed to preserve the total relative voting power of the Company's public stockholders following the Class A Conversion.

In addition, the Company's stockholders approved all other proposals submitted for a vote at the Annual Meeting. The Company will report the final results of the Annual Meeting on a Current Report on Form 8-K that will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
