clause (i) in prior Fiscal Years; 
 (ii) Second, to the Members up to, and in proportion to, an

 21 

 
such Members with respect to such Fund as of the first day of such Fiscal Year (with appropriate adjustments, as determined by the Managing Member, if contributions or withdrawals are made during
such Fiscal Year), and (ii) any Fund Net Income allocated or paid to the Company shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Sharing Percentages for Fund Net Income for such Fiscal Year. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or
distributions described in paragraphs (b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1, there shall be specially allocated to such Member such items of Company income and gain, at such times and in such amounts as
will eliminate as quickly as possible that portion of any deficit in its Capital Account caused or increased by such adjustments, allocations or distributions. 
 (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV, if there is a net decrease in Company minimum gain or Member nonrecourse debt minimum gain (determined in accordance with the principles of
Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(d) and 1.704-2(i)) during any Company taxable year, the Members shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to their respective
shares of such net decrease during such year, determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f). This
paragraph (f) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in such Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith, including that no chargeback shall be required to the extent of the exceptions
provided in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4).

Treasury Regulations thereunder, any special allocations of items of income or gain pursuant to Section 4.7(e) or 4.7(f) shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations of Net Income (Loss) pursuant to this Section 4.7 so
that the net amount allocated to the Members pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amounts that would have been allocated to each such Member pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.7 if the
allocations pursuant to Sections 4.7(e) and 4.7(f) had not occurred. 
 (h) To the extent the Company is required by law to
withhold or to make tax payments (including back-up withholding) on behalf of or with respect to any Member (“Withholding Tax Advances”), the Managing Member may cause the Company to withhold such amounts and make such tax payments
as are required. All Withholding Tax Advances made on behalf of a Member, plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the prime rate in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition on the date of such Withholding Tax Advance plus 2.0% per annum,
shall, at the option of the Managing Member, (i) be promptly paid to the Company by the Member on whose behalf such Withholding Tax Advances were made (such payment not to constitute a Capital Contribution to the Company), or (ii) be
repaid by reducing the amount of any current distribution that would otherwise have been made to such Member, but if there is no such current distribution or such distribution is not sufficient for that purpose, any such shortfall shall be paid as

  
 22 

 
provided in clause (i) above. Whenever repayment of a Withholding Tax Advance is made by a Member as described in clause (ii) above, for all other purposes of this Agreement such Member
shall be treated as having received the full amount of all distributions that would otherwise have been made to such Member, unreduced by the amount of such Withholding Tax Advance and any interest thereon. 

(i) If any Interest in the Company is Transferred or otherwise adjusted during any Fiscal Period in compliance with the provisions of
this Agreement, each item of income, gain, loss, expense, deduction and credit and all other items attributable to such Interest for such period shall be divided and allocated between the transferor Member and the transferee Member by taking into
account their varying Interests during such period in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using any conventions permitted by law and approved by the affected Members. All distributions on or before the date of such Transfer shall be
made to the transferor Member, and all distributions thereafter shall be made to the transferee Member.

adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital
Accounts, the amount of that 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 the basis of the asset), and such gain or loss shall be
specially allocated to the Members in the manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to that Treasury Regulation. 
 (k) The Managing Member shall have the power to amend the manner in which Capital Accounts are calculated or any allocations thereto are made if it reasonably determines that such amendment is necessary
to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b). 
 (l) For income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and
deduction of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in any manner, as reasonably determined by the Managing Member that reflects equitably amounts credited or debited to each Member’s Capital Account for the current and prior Fiscal
Periods. In this regard, the Managing Member may cause the Company to specially allocate additional items of ordinary income or loss or capital gain (including short-term capital gain) or loss to a Member withdrawing all or part of its Capital
Account insofar as is possible to reduce the difference, if any, between the aggregate amounts allocated to such Member’s Capital Account and the aggregate amount of tax items allocated to such Member. For purposes of the foregoing, the
Managing Member may determine that an equitable method of allocation includes an allocation (i) pro rata based upon the relative differences between amounts allocated to the Capital Accounts and the aggregate amounts of tax items allocated to
the relevant Members, or (ii) solely to the relevant Members with the greatest such differences (taking into account such allocations). These allocations shall be made pursuant to the general principles of Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code
and in accordance with any temporary or final regulations adopted thereunder.

 SECTION
4.8. Distributions. 
 (a) Subject to Section 4.8(b) and subject to any restrictions on the Company pursuant to
written contractual obligations to third parties and the establishment of the Operating Reserve, the Company shall make distributions of available cash or other property to the Members at such times, but in any event, at least on an annual basis and
no later than ninety (90) days from the end of the Fiscal Year, and in such amounts as are reasonably determined by the Managing Member. Distributions of cash or other property shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their
respective Sharing Percentages for Other Net Income, Capital Net Income and Fund Net Income, as the Managing Member reasonably determines, based on the source of such available cash or other property; provided, that the Managing Member may
allocate all or a portion of such amount among the Members based on their respective positive Capital Account balances (calculated without reference to any Fund Capital Accounts), if it determines that such allocation would be equitable taking into
account all relevant facts and circumstances. Notwithstanding the previous two sentences, upon a Member’s request, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts, based upon the potential cash flow requirements of the Company, to
make a cash distribution, at least annually, from the Company in such amounts sufficient to pay such Member’s (or, in the case of a pass-through entity, the direct or indirect equity owners of such Members) aggregate federal, state and local
income tax liabilities (including estimated taxes) with respect to such Member’s allocable share of the Company’s annual taxable income. Such distributions shall be treated as advances against any distributions payable under this
Agreement, and subsequent distributions under this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of such advances, until such advances are repaid in full (without interest). 
 (b) To the extent that the Company receives a distribution from a Fund, such amount shall be credited to the Fund Capital Accounts and such amount shall be distributed by the Company to the Members in
accordance with the Members’ respective Fund Capital Account balances (before taking into account such distribution from such Fund) attributable to such Fund. 
 (c) Each Member shall furnish the Company with such information, forms and certifications as it may require and as are necessary to comply with the regulations governing the obligations of withholding tax
agents. Each Member represents and warrants that any such information and forms furnished by him shall be true and accurate. Each Member agrees to pay, and to indemnify the Company and the other Members from, any and all damages, costs and expenses
(including any liability for any taxes of any type whatsoever, penalties, additions to tax or interest) in respect of income of (including such Member’s share of Company income) or distributions, transfers or payments to such Member. To the
extent the indemnifying Member is otherwise entitled to distributions from the Company, such damages, costs and expenses may be paid by the Company out of amounts that would otherwise be distributed to such Member. For purposes of this Agreement any
such payment shall be deemed to be a distribution to such Member (and in the case of any such tax that is imposed upon the Company, the Member shall be deemed to have recontributed such amount to the

  
 24 

 
Company). In all other events, such Member shall make such payment directly from its own funds. 
 (d) No Member shall have the right to receive other property indirectly held through the Company. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be
required to make a distribution hereunder if such distribution would violate the Act or any other applicable law. 
 SECTION
4.9. Expenses. 
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.7(h), the Managing Member shall be directly
responsible for paying all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the general operation of the Company, except (i) those expenses incurred in the preparation of reports to the Members, and (ii) legal, accounting and other
professional fees and expenses, if any, of the Company. 
 SECTION 4.10. Profits Interest. 

(a) It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that distributions and allocations to any holder of an interest designated by
the Managing Member, upon the unanimous consent of the Members, as a “profits interest” shall be limited to the extent necessary so that each such interest constitutes a Profits Interest. In furtherance of the foregoing, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Managing Member shall, if necessary, limit distributions and allocations to any holder of such an interest so that such distributions and allocations do not exceed the available profits
in respect of such holder’s related Profits Interest. If any Member’s distributions and allocations are reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence, an amount equal to such excess distributions and allocations shall be treated as instead
apportioned to the other Members pro rata in accordance with their Sharing Percentages, and the Managing Member shall make adjustments to future distributions and allocations to the Members as promptly as practicable so that the Members are
distributed and allocated on a cumulative basis the amount to which they would have been entitled if this Section 4.10 had not been in effect; provided, that any future distributions and allocations pursuant to this sentence shall
continue to be further subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10. 
 (b) In furtherance of the above, Profits
Interests issued as part of any incentive compensation programs or otherwise offered for services rendered or to be rendered to the Company shall be “future profits interests” within the meaning of IRS Rev. Proc. 93-27 and such recipient
shall not receive any credit to such recipient’s Capital Account on the date the Profits Interests are issued unless the recipient pays money or property for such Profits Interests. If IRS Rev. Proc. 93-27 is replaced by the Safe Harbor
Regulations, the Company and the Members agree that the Company shall be authorized and directed to make the Safe Harbor Election and the Company and each Member (including any person to whom a Profits Interest is transferred in connection with the
performance of services) agrees to comply with all requirements of the Safe Harbor with respect to all Profits Interests in the Company transferred in connection with the 

  
 25 

 
performance of services while the Safe Harbor Election remains effective. The Managing Member is authorized to (and shall) prepare, execute and file the Safe Harbor Election. 

(c) If IRS Rev. Proc. 93-27 is replaced or withdrawn but not with the Safe Harbor Regulations in materially the current form, the Company
and the Members shall, to the extent possible, endeavor to treat the Profits Interests issued in connection with the performance of services in a manner consistent with the tax treatment noted above, including, determining the fair market value of
the Profits Interests issued in connection with the performance of services as being equal to the liquidation value of such Profits Interests on the date the Profits Interests (i) are transferrable or not subject to (or deemed not subject to) a
substantial risk of forfeiture within the meaning of Code Section 83 (including by reason of filing an election under Code Section 83(b)), whichever occurs earlier; or (ii) the date of issuance if it is determined that Section 83
does not apply to the issuance of Profits Interests, as the case may be. The Company and the Members (including any Person to whom the Profits Interests are transferred in connection with the performance of services) shall execute and file any tax
election or statement necessary to effectuate the treatment of the Profits Interests as provided in this paragraph and shall not take any position on their tax returns that is inconsistent with such treatment. 

(d) Any Person receiving Profits Interests in connection with the performance of services shall take all steps necessary (including
filing a Code Section 83(b) election if necessary) to cause such Profits Interest to be taxed at the time of issuance as if vested for federal income tax purposes and such Person to be treated as a member in the Company for purposes of
receiving allocations of profits and losses and distributions for federal income tax purposes. 
 (e) For purposes of this
Agreement, (i) “Safe Harbor Regulations” means Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.83-3(1), issued on May 19, 2005, (ii) “Safe Harbor” means the election described in the Safe Harbor Regulation, pursuant
to which a company and all of its members may elect to treat the fair market value of a Profits Interest in the company that is transferred in connection with the performance of services as being equal to the liquidation value of that Profits
Interest; and (iii) “Safe Harbor Election” means the election by a company and its members to apply the Safe Harbor, as described in the Safe Harbor Regulation and Internal Revenue Service Notice 2005-43. 

ARTICLE V 

Books and Reports; Tax Matters 
 SECTION 5.1. General Accounting Matters. 
 (a) Net Income (Loss), or
the applicable category thereof, shall be determined by or under the direction of the Managing Member at the end of each Fiscal Period and shall be allocated as described in Section 4.7. The Managing Member shall also keep or cause to be kept
books and records pertaining to the Company’s business showing all of its assets and liabilities, receipts and disbursements, Net Income (Loss), Members’ Capital Accounts, and all transactions entered into by the Company. A copy

  
 26 

 
of such books and records of the Company shall be kept by the Company at its principal office. The Company’s books of account shall be maintained in United States dollars and kept on the
accrual method of accounting and otherwise in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. 
 (b) As promptly as possible after the close of each Fiscal Year of the Company, the Tax Matters Member shall cause an examination of the financial statements of the Company as of the end of each such
Fiscal Year to be made in accordance with United States generally accepted auditing standards as in effect on the date thereof, and such financial statements shall be certified, by the firm of certified public accountants which serves in such
capacity for the Funds. As soon as is practicable after the close of each Fiscal Year, a copy of the certified financial statements of the Company, including the report of such certified public accountants, shall be furnished to each Member and
shall include, as of the end of such Fiscal Year: 
 (i) a balance sheet of the Company as of the end of such
period; and 
 (ii) a statement of income or loss and a statement of Members’ capital. 

(c) Each Person that was a Member at any time during a Fiscal Year shall be supplied with such information as may be reasonably required
to enable such Member to prepare its federal, state, local and non-U.S. income tax returns based upon such Person’s status as a Member, such other information as such Person may reasonably request for the purpose of applying for a credit for
withholding taxes and a statement as to such Member’s Capital Account as at the close of such Fiscal Year. 
 SECTION
5.2. Fiscal Year. 
 The fiscal year of the Company (the “Fiscal Year”) shall be the same as its
taxable year, as determined pursuant to Section 706 of the Code. 
 SECTION 5.3. Certain Tax Matters.

 The Tax Matters Member shall prepare or cause to be prepared all federal, state and local, as well as non-U.S., if any, tax
returns of the Company for each year for which such returns are required to be filed and shall file or 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, 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. The Managing Member may cause the Company to make or refrain from making any and all elections permitted by such tax laws. The Managing Member shall act as the “tax matters partner” for purposes of
Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the “Tax Matters Member”). The Tax Matters Member shall have all of the rights, duties, powers and obligations provided for in Sections 6221 through 6232 of the Code. Each Member agrees that it
will take no 

  
 27 

 
position on its individual tax returns inconsistent with the positions taken on the Company’s tax returns. The Tax Matters Member will take no action which is reasonably expected to have a
disproportionate material adverse effect on one or more of the Members unless such action is approved by such adversely affected Members in writing (and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that the Tax Matters Member
may take any action which is required in accordance with written advice from qualified counsel (which advice and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to all of the Members). The Tax Matters Member will be responsible for notifying all Members of
ongoing proceedings, both administrative and judicial, and will represent the Company throughout any such proceeding. The Members will furnish the Tax Matters Member with such information as it may reasonably request to provide the Internal Revenue
Service with sufficient information to allow proper notice to the Members. The Tax Matters Member will not bind any other Member to any extension of the statute of limitations or to a settlement agreement without such Member’s written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. 
 SECTION 5.4. Section 754 Election.

 The Company shall make an election described in Section 754 of the Code for the taxable year in which the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement occur and if such election has been made by the Company for any prior year, such election shall not be revoked. 
 SECTION 5.5. Inspection Rights. 
 Each Member shall have the right
during normal business hours at the principal place of business of the Company, and following at least five days’ prior written notice to the Managing Member, which notice shall set forth the purpose of such Member’s request (which purpose
must be reasonably related to such Member’s Interest), to examine and make copies of only such limited information and documentation as is required to be disclosed or provided pursuant to the Act. Each Member shall bear all expenses incurred in
any examination made on behalf of such Member. 
 ARTICLE VI 

Dissolution 
 SECTION 6.1. Dissolution. 
 The Company shall be dissolved and its
affairs wound up (i) upon a determination by the Managing Member to dissolve the Company at any time, (ii) at the option of the Managing Member, if the Funds have a combined Applicable AUM of less than ten million dollars ($10,000,000),
(iii) if at any time there are no Members of the Company and the business of the Company is not continued in accordance with the Act, or (iv) upon the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act. The
death, retirement, dissolution, resignation, expulsion or bankruptcy of any Member shall not cause the dissolution of the Company, and following any such event the remaining Members shall have the right to continue the business of the Company.

  
 28 

  
 SECTION
6.2. Winding-up. 
 When the Company is dissolved, the business and property of the Company shall be wound up and
liquidated by the Managing Member. The Managing Member shall use its reasonable best efforts to reduce to cash and cash equivalent items such assets of the Company as the Managing Member shall deem it advisable to sell and to obtain fair value for
such assets (taking into account applicable tax and other legal considerations) giving the Non-Managing Members the right of first refusal for the purchase of such assets. 
 SECTION 6.3. Final Distribution. 
 Within 120 calendar days after the
effective date of dissolution of the Company, the assets of the Company shall be distributed in the following manner and order: 
 (i) to the payment of the expenses of the winding-up, liquidation and dissolution of the Company; 
 (ii) to pay all creditors of the Company, other than Members, either by the payment thereof or the making of reasonable provision therefor; 

(iii) to establish reserves, in reasonable amounts established by the Managing Member, to meet other liabilities of the
Company (other than to the Members in respect of distributions owing to them hereunder); 
 (iv) to pay, in
accordance with the terms agreed among them and otherwise on a pro rata basis, all creditors of the Company that are Members, either by the payment thereof or the making of reasonable provision therefor; and 

(v) to the Members in accordance with the positive balances in their Capital Accounts, after taking into account any
allocations under Section 4.7 for all periods ending on or before the time of such dissolution. 
 For purposes of the application of this
Section 6.3 and determining Capital Accounts on liquidation, all unrealized gains, losses and accrued income and deductions of the Company shall be treated as realized and recognized immediately before the date of such distribution. 

SECTION 6.4. No Obligation to Restore Capital Accounts. 

Except as may otherwise be provided herein or as required by law, no Member whose Capital Account balance is a negative or deficit amount
(either during the existence of the Company or upon liquidation) shall have any obligation to return any amounts previously distributed to such Member or to contribute cash or other assets to the Company to restore or make up the deficit in such
Member’s impaired Capital Account; provided, however, that the Managing Member shall correct any improper allocation given to any Member from subsequent distribution made hereunder. 

  
 29 

  
 ARTICLE VII 

Transfer of Members’ Interests 
 SECTION 7.1. Transfer of Members’ Interests. 
 (a) Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, no Member may, directly or indirectly, Transfer such Member’s Interest in the Company (other than to one or more of its Affiliates) without the prior written consent of the Managing Member and Non-Managing
Members holding a Majority in Interest, which may be given or withheld in their sole and absolute discretion for any reason or no reason. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Member may Transfer all or a portion of such Member’s Interest to the following (each a “Permitted Transferee”): 

(i) an Affiliate of such Member; 
 (ii) any member of such Member’s Immediate Family; or 
 (iii)
any other Member. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the Managing Member proposes
to Transfer all or a portion of its Interest in the Company to any Person other than to a Permitted Transferee (such proposed Transfer, a “Proposed ROFR Sale”), the other Members of the Company in good standing shall have a right of
first refusal (“Right of First Refusal”) with respect to such Interest proposed to be Transferred; provided that (x) if the Managing Member or any Affiliate thereof transfers in the aggregate more than fifty percent
(50%) of the Managing Member’s Interest on, or subsequent to, the date of this Agreement to any party that is not an Affiliate of the Managing Member (it being understood that a change of control of any such Affiliate such that it ceases
to be an Affiliate of the Managing Member shall be deemed a transfer for purposes of this provision), Brownstone Asset Management, LP shall, as result of that act, become the Managing Member for all purposes regardless of whether the other Members
exercise their Right of First Refusal. 
 (i) In connection with the foregoing, the Managing Member shall furnish
to all other Members of the Company that are in good standing a written notice of such Proposed ROFR Sale (such notice, the “ROFR Notice”). The ROFR Notice will include (1) the amount of Interest proposed to be Transferred,
(2) the name and address of the proposed Transferee (the “Proposed ROFR Transferee”), (3) the proposed amount and form of consideration with respect to the Interest proposed to be Transferred, and (4) the other
material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer. 
 (ii) Each Member shall have a period of fifteen
(15) Business Days following receipt of the ROFR Notice (the “ROFR Period”) to exercise its Right of First Refusal and agree to purchase all or a portion of the Interest proposed to be Transferred for the price and on the terms
and conditions specified in the ROFR Notice by delivering a written notice to the Managing Member (a 

  
 30 

 
“ROFR Purchase Notice”). Each Member that does not deliver a ROFR Purchase Notice to the Managing Member in compliance with the foregoing requirements, including the ROFR Period,
will be deemed to have waived its Right of First Refusal with respect to the Interest proposed to be Transferred. 
 (iii) If the Members as a group propose to acquire more of the Interest than is available for purchase, then each such participating Member shall have the right to propose to acquire its pro rata
portion of such Interest (based on relative Sharing Percentages with respect to Fund Net Income) until all of such Interests are accounted for; provided, that the Managing Member shall not be obligated to sell any portion of the Interest
proposed to be Transferred to any other Member unless the Members as a group have proposed to purchase the entire Interest proposed to be Transferred. 
 (iv) If, and only to the extent, the Interest proposed to be Transferred is not acquired by the other Members within twenty (20) Business Days from the end of the ROFR Period at the price and on the
terms and conditions specified in the ROFR Notice, the Managing Member may Transfer the Interest or a portion thereof to the Proposed ROFR Transferee within thirty (30) days after the end of the ROFR Period at the price and on the terms and
conditions specified in the ROFR Notice (and on other terms and conditions, if any, which are not materially more favorable to the proposed purchaser than those set forth in the ROFR Notice). 

(v) If the Managing Member wishes to Transfer the Interest or a portion thereof to a Person at a purchase price less than
that which is specified in the ROFR Notice or on terms and conditions that are materially more favorable to the proposed purchaser, the Managing Member must first follow the procedures set forth above using such lower price and/or different terms.

 (vi) For the avoidance of doubt, any Transfer of all or a portion of an Interest by the Managing Member to one
or more of its Affiliates shall not be deemed to be a Proposed ROFR Sale and this Section 7.1(b) shall not apply to any such Transfer. 
 (d) Unless an Assignee is admitted as a substitute Member in accordance with Section 7.2(b), a Transfer by a Member of all or any part of such Member’s Interest in the Company shall not release
such Member from any of such Member’s obligations or liabilities (including such Member’s obligations to make capital contributions hereunder, if any, and such Member’s share of any liability therefor), or limit the Company’s
rights with respect to such Member, of any nature whatsoever arising under this Agreement, and such Assignee shall be entitled only to allocations and distributions with respect to its Interest and shall have no right to vote such Interest, to
participate in the management of the Company or to any accounting or information concerning the affairs of the Company and shall not have any of the other rights of a Member under this Agreement. 

  
 31 

  
 SECTION
7.2. Other Transfer Provisions. 
 (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, any purported Transfer by a Member of
all or any part of its Interest in the Company in violation of this Article VII shall be null and void and of no force or effect. 
 (b) Upon a Member’s Transfer of all or any part of such Member’s Interest in the Company to any Person (other than a transfer to a Permitted Transferee under Section 7.1(b)) (the
“Assignee”) pursuant to this Article VII, such Assignee shall be admitted as a substitute Member in lieu of such transferor Member only with the prior written consent of the Managing Member and the Non-Managing Members holding a
Majority in Interest, which consent may be given or withheld in their sole and absolute discretion. No Transfer shall be permitted or be recognized if such Transfer would cause the Company (i) to be treated as a “publicly traded
partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder or (ii) to be treated as an “investment company” within the meaning of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 Additional Members; Removal and Withdrawal of Members 
 SECTION
8.1. Admission of Additional Members; Allocation of Sharing Percentages. 
 (a) The Members, by consent of the
Managing Member and a Majority in Interest of the Non-Managing Members, may admit additional Members to the Company from time to time (and, if a Majority in Interest of the Non-Managing Members consent to admit an additional Member in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, the Managing Member shall not unreasonably withhold its consent thereto). Upon the admission of any additional Member, such Member shall be allocated such Sharing Percentage and shall make such Capital
Contributions, if any, as are set forth in such new Member’s Admission Letter, and the Sharing Percentages of existing Members (other than the Managing Member) shall be adjusted. For the avoidance of doubt, the admittance of additional Members
shall not affect the Sharing Percentage of the Managing Member or the other Members, without the consent of the affected Members. 
 (b) Concurrently with the admission of any substitute or additional Member, the Members shall forthwith cause any necessary papers to be filed and recorded and notice to be given wherever and to the
extent required showing the substitution of such transferee as a substitute Member in place of the transferor Member, or the admission of an additional Member. The admission of any Person as a substitute or additional Member shall be conditioned
upon such Person’s written acceptance and adoption of all the terms and provisions of this Agreement. 
 (c) The Managing
Member (with the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Non-Managing Members) may, or may cause the Company to, enter into separate letter agreements, including profit sharing agreements (each, an “Admission Letter”) with

  
 32 

 
certain Members with respect to Capital Contributions, Sharing Percentages or any other matter, in each case, in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

SECTION 8.2. Removal and Withdrawal of Members. 
 (a) A Member other than the Managing Member (i) may be removed immediately from the Company by the Managing Member in its sole and absolute discretion for Cause, and (ii) shall be deemed to have
withdrawn upon such Member’s death, Permanent Disability, or bankruptcy. Additionally, any Member may voluntarily withdraw from the Company, in whole or in part, at any time upon at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to the
Company subject to the terms hereof, provided that Brownstone Asset Management, LP must provide at least ninety (90) days prior written notice to withdraw. 
 (b) If a Member is removed or voluntarily withdraws from the Company, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 8.2(a), then within ninety (90) days following the effective date of such removal
or withdrawal, the Company shall distribute to such Member an amount in cash equal to ninety percent (90%) of such Member’s positive Capital Account balance (or a portion thereof, as applicable) as of the effective date of such
Member’s removal or withdrawal and any remaining portion shall be paid, without interest, within ninety (90) days after the completion of the annual audit of the Company. 

(c) From and after the effective date of the removal or withdrawal of a Member from the Company, except as expressly provided herein,
such Member shall only be a creditor of the Company and shall have no rights as a Member with respect to the withdrawn Interest and shall not have any interest in the Company’s items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit, distributions or
assets after the effective date of removal or withdrawal (with respect to the withdrawn Interest). For the avoidance of doubt, upon the withdrawal (deemed or otherwise) or removal of a Member, such Member’s Sharing Percentage shall be reduced
to zero (or, in case of a partial withdrawal, shall be reduced pro rata based on the Sharing Percentage represented by the withdrawn Interest as related to the aggregate Sharing Percentage of the relevant Member), and the Sharing Percentage
of all of the remaining Non-Managing Members shall be adjusted pro rata to their respective Sharing Percentages at such time. 
 (d) The Managing Member may, in its sole and absolute discretion, decide to postpone any distributions made pursuant to Section 8.2, in whole or in part, until after the financial statements of the
Company have been examined by certified public accountants in accordance with Section 5.1(b) but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the effective date of the removal or withdrawal. 

  
 33 

  
 SECTION
8.3. Call Right for Cause, Cessation of Duties, and Involuntary Transfer. 
 (a) Upon (i) the removal for Cause
of a Non-Managing Member, (ii) the death, Permanent Disability or voluntary or involuntary filing for bankruptcy, dissolution, insolvency, foreclosure of any pledge or hypothecation, or by operation of law of any Non-Managing Member (each, a
“Terminating Event”), the Company shall cause such Non-Managing Member (the “Terminating Member”) to sell the entire Interest of the Terminating Member to the Company. Any such election of the Company shall be made by delivery of
written notice thereof to such Terminating Member stating the date in which the Non-Managing Members Interest in the Company is terminated (the “Termination Date”). The purchase price for such interest shall be the amount, if any, in the
Capital Account for such Member. 
 (b) The closing of a purchase pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be held at the
principal office of the Company as of the Termination Date. The Terminating Member, or if applicable, the trustee or legal representative of the Terminating Member, shall transfer to the Company (or its designee) the entire interest of the
Terminating Member in the Company, free and clear of all liens, security interests and competing claims, and shall deliver to the Company (or its designee) such instruments of assignment, transfer, release, and evidence of due authorization,
execution and delivery, and absence of any liens, security interests or competing claims, as the Company shall request. Such Terminating Member shall execute and deliver at such closing such other instruments as shall be necessary, appropriate or
convenient to effectuate such transfer. In the event that the Terminating Member fails to cooperate with respect to the purchase of its Interest, such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred as of the Closing without any further act of the
Terminating Member. 
 (c) It is the intention of the Terminating Member and the Company that all payments made by the Company
on account of the Terminating Member’s interest in accordance with this Section 8.3 shall constitute payments in liquidation of such interest within the meaning of Section 736 of the Code. It is the further intention of the
Terminating Member and the Company that such payments shall be solely in exchange for the interest of the Terminating Member in the property of the Company, including the goodwill of the Company, under Section 736(b)(1) of the Code, except that
amounts, if any, attributable to unrealized receivables (as defined in Section 751(c) of the Code) of the Company as of the purchase date shall be deemed to be made under Section 736(a)(1) of the Code. 

(d) Upon the termination of duties and obligations set forth in any Admission Letter of a Non-Managing Member for reasons other than as
set forth in Section 8.3(a), the portion of the Non-Managing Members FNI Sharing Percentage attributable to such Non-Managing Member shall not thereafter be amended, modified or changed, without the written consent of such Non-Managing Member;
provided, however, that, if subsequent to such termination, the Non-Managing Member, or its Affiliates, engage either directly or indirectly as a principal, employee, consultant for its own account, or solely or jointly with others, or organizes or
otherwise advises for its 

  
 34 

 
own account or for others, another fund or investment vehicle or account of substantially the same investment style as the Funds, then in any such instance, such Non-Managing Member hereby agrees
that the Managing Member shall be granted the same voting, economic and other rights to such other fund or investment vehicle or account as it is entitled to hereunder in regard to the Funds, including without limitation its Managing Member FNI
Sharing Percentage, until the combined assets under management of such other fund or investment vehicle or account, together with the assets under management in the Funds, collectively, equal five hundred fifty million dollars ($550,000,000).

 SECTION 8.4. Release Event; Removal of the Managing Member. 

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Release Event with respect to the Managing Member, (i) Aveon Holdings I L.P. (or its permitted
successor or assign) shall immediately and automatically be removed as the Managing Member of the Company and (ii) Brownstone Asset Management, LP shall immediately and automatically be appointed as the Managing Member of the Company (without
compliance with the provisions of this Agreement requiring consent of the Non-Managing Members to the admission of additional partners). 
 (b) Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Release Event, (i) the Sharing Percentage of Aveon Holdings I L.P. (or its permitted successor or assign) shall remain 30% (with appropriate modifications
in the Sharing Percentage definition being made), and (ii) the restrictive covenants found in the Purchase Agreement, including Section 7.6 thereof, shall continue to apply, unchanged, to Aveon Holdings I L.P. and to each of the
Non-Managing Members that are Sellers thereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto covenant that upon determination of a Release Event, (x) Brownstone Asset Management LP’s
Sharing Percentage and the Sharing Percentage of Aveon Holdings I L.P., as provided for in this Section 8.4, shall not thereafter be amended, modified or changed, without the written consent of all of the parties hereto, and (y) the

 EXECUTION COPY 
 ADMISSION LETTER 
 [Date, 2010] 

Brownstone Asset Management, LP 
 [Address]

 Dear Mr. Oren Cohen: 

Brownstone Asset Management, LP (“BAM” and sometimes also referred to herein as “You”) is hereby admitted
as a Non-Managing Member of Brownstone Investment Partners, LLC (the “Company” or “we,” “our” and related cognate words) effective as of the date hereof on the terms described
in this Admission Letter and in the Company’s Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, dated [Date] (as may be amended from time to time, the “Operating Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are as
defined in the Operating Agreement. The Company, Aveon Holdings I L.P., in its capacity as Managing Member of the Company (the “Managing Member”), and BAM hereby agree as follows: 

In connection with your admission as a member of the Company, Managing Member hereby delegates to you all of the rights, duties and discretion of the
Managing Member pursuant to Sections 3.2(c) and 3.2(d) of the Operating Agreement, and as further evidenced by (i) the Investment Management Agreement, dated [July 1], 2009, as may be amended from time to time, by and between Brownstone
Partners Catalyst Fund, LLC (the “Onshore Fund”), Brownstone Partners Catalyst Master Fund, Ltd. (the “Master Fund”) and BAM, and (ii) the Investment Management Agreement, dated [July 1], 2009, as
may be amended from time to time, by and between Brownstone Partners Catalyst Fund, Ltd (the “Offshore Fund”), the Master Fund and BAM (the Onshore Fund, the Offshore Fund and the Master Fund are collectively referred to in
this Admission Letter as the “Funds,” and the agreements described in (i) and (ii) above are collectively referred to in this Admission Letter as the “Advisory Agreements”) the terms of which
are by this reference incorporated herein. The delegation provided for in the immediately preceding sentence is exclusive to BAM and both the Company and the Managing Member covenant and agree that such rights and obligations may not be delegated,
in whole or in part, to, or exercised by, any other individual or entity unless and until the delegation provided in this Admission Letter shall have been terminated by the Managing Member as provided herein or in the Operating Agreement, or the
Advisory Agreements have been terminated in accordance with the terms thereof. As a member of the Company, you hereby agree to undertake the duties enumerated in this Admission Letter, including the duties referenced in the Advisory Agreements. You
agree to the delegation, and to the obligation to carry out, all of the duties required in Sections 3.2(c) and 3.2(d) of the Operating Agreement and all of the duties and responsibilities set forth in the Advisory Agreements. 

Your Sharing Percentage shall be as set forth in the Operating Agreement. Except as consented to in writing by the Managing Member (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld), You shall not enter any contract or any other arrangement with any third-party pursuant to which You agree, or which You agree on behalf of the Company, to pay a portion of the management fees or incentive allocations
or fees received from the Funds to any third-party. Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Advisory Agreement or the Fund’s organizational documents, you agree to perform the duties delegated to you at your own expense, including
without limitation the following overhead expenses: office rent; utilities; furniture and fixtures; stationery; secretarial administrative services; salaries; entertainment expenses; employee insurance; payroll taxes; legal, compliance, accounting
expenses (including third-party accounting services); organizational expenses; and research fees and expenses (including research-related travel) for BAM. Each Fund shall be charged expenses related to interest on margin accounts and other
indebtedness; borrowing charges on securities sold short; investment expenses such as commissions; custodial fees; the Fund’s pro rata share of the expenses of any related Master Fund; administrator fees and expenses; directors’ fees and
expenses and any other expenses reasonably related to the purchase, sale or transmittal of the Fund’s assets, or reasonably related to the operation of the Fund and permitted by the applicable private placement memorandum and Fund
organizational documents. 
 In addition to the provisions set forth in Section 8.2 of the Operating Agreement, the Managing Member may
remove you as a Member of the Company upon ninety (90) days prior written notice. Any such removal shall have the effect of terminating this Admission Letter. The effective date of such termination shall be the date which is ninety
(90) days after receipt by you of a written termination notice from the Managing Member (or such earlier date 

  
 1 

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

 
following receipt of such notice as you shall determine in your sole and absolute discretion). 
 You agree to report your delegated duties to the Company, and to the Funds, to the administrator of the Funds, and will comply with the reporting procedures and systems of such administrator and in
accordance with any investment advisory agreement entered into at the discretion of the Managing Member, including the Advisory Agreements. For so long as you are a Member of the Company and are required to perform the duties described in this
Admission Letter and the Advisory Agreements, you agree to provide to the Company such information regarding the operations and activities of the Funds, including, without limitation, its investments, as the Company may reasonably request.

 If you deem a particular investment suitable for both the Funds and any of your other clients, you may allocate such investments between the
Funds and the other clients pro rata based on assets under management or in some other manner that you determine is fair and equitable under the circumstances to all clients, including the Funds. Where less than the maximum desired number of
shares of a particular security to be purchased is available at a favorable price, you agree to allocate the shares purchased among the Funds and the other clients in an equitable manner as you determine. 

Other than as provided in this Admission Letter, you will not be liable for any loss or cost arising out of, or in connection with, any act or activity
undertaken (or omitted to be undertaken) in fulfillment of any obligation or responsibility under this Admission Letter, including, but not limited to, any such loss sustained by reason of any investment or the sale or retention of any security or
other asset of the Funds. You agree to give the Company the benefit of your best judgment and efforts in rendering the duties delegated to you in this Admission Letter. You also agree that as an inducement to your receipt of a Non-Managing Member
Interest , your undertaking of these duties and your agreement to the other provisions of this Admission Letter that the Managing Member shall cause the Funds, to the fullest extent legally permissible under the laws of the State of Delaware, to
indemnify you and hold you harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including, without limitation, judgments, fines, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred or suffered by you in
connection with the good faith performance by you of your responsibilities to the Funds; provided, however, that nothing in this Admission Letter shall be deemed to protect you against any liability to which you otherwise would be subject by reason
of your gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or violation of applicable law. The Managing Member will cause the Funds, upon your request, to advance amounts in connection with this indemnification obligation; provided, however, that if it is
later determined that you were not entitled to be indemnified, then you shall promptly reimburse the Funds for all advanced amounts. 
 You and
your officers, directors, members, managers, agents and employees may have investments of their own, may be associated with other investment entities and managed accounts, or may be engaged in investment management for others. In addition, such
persons may, through other investments, including other investment funds, have interests in the securities in which the Funds invest, as well as interests in investments in which the Funds do not invest. Except to the extent necessary to perform
your obligations hereunder, and as set forth in Section 3.1(c) of the Operating Agreement, we do not limit or restrict such persons from rendering services of any kind to any other corporation, firm, individual or association or engaging in or
devoting time and attention to the management of any other business, including any business within the securities industry, as long as such business is not in competition with the Funds. 
 You may affect purchase and sale transactions (including swaps) between the Funds and other entities or accounts subject to the following guidelines: (i) such transactions shall be effected for cash
consideration at the current market price of the particular securities, and (ii) no extraordinary brokerage commissions or fees (i.e., except for customary transfer fees or commissions) or other remuneration shall be paid in connection
with any such transaction. 
 You agree to make all transactions on a “best execution” basis, it being acknowledged that from the
standpoint of the Funds, simultaneous identical portfolio transactions for the Funds and other clients may tend to decrease the prices received, and increase the prices required to be paid, by the Funds for their portfolio sales and purchases.

 EXECUTION COPY 
  

  
 You agree to prohibit the Funds
from approving or authorizing the use or distribution in connection with the sale of their securities of any literature or advertisement in which you are named or referred to unless such literature or advertisement shall first be submitted to you
and the Managing Member for joint approval with respect thereto. 
 Except as set forth in Section 9.4(c) of the Operating Agreement, you
agree to keep the non-public information of the Company and the Funds confidential applying the same standards of confidentiality that apply to your own non-public information. Upon termination of your duties under this Admission Letter, except as
set forth in Section 9.4(c) of the Operating Agreement, you agree to promptly, upon demand, return to the Company all such records, except that you may retain copies for the Funds records as may be required by applicable law and regulation, and
provided that your confidentiality obligations set forth in this Admission Letter will continue in full force and effect with respect to such retained records not within the public domain. 
 We acknowledge that, to the extent that they exist, we have received from you the Form ADV (Part I and Part II) as in effect on the date of this Admission Letter and your privacy notice. 

This Admission Letter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to principles of conflicts
of law). 
 If you agree with the terms of this Admission Letter, and accept membership into the Company, please acknowledge your agreement
below. By such signature below, you agree to be bound by all of the provisions of the Operating Agreement of the Company.
