deliver such instruments as might be required from time to time in the conduct of the Company’s business. If no Manager has been appointed, the Company will be managed by the Member. 

 

	 	8.5.	Written Consent. Any action may be taken with a written consent to such action signed by the Member or the Board of Managers. 

 

	 	8.6.	Compensation. Except as expressly provided herein, the Member and the Managers will not receive any compensation, salary or fee from the Company for acting as such except for reimbursement of reasonable out of
pocket expenses. 

 9. Conveyances. The assets of the Company will be held in the name of the Company. Subject only to the limitations
set forth in paragraph 9 of this Agreement, any deed, bill of sale, mortgage, lease, registration, contract of sale or other instrument purporting to convey or encumber the interest of the Company covering any asset of the Company will be sufficient
if signed on behalf of the Company by the chairman, chief executive officer, president, chief operating officer, any vice president or by any other representative designated by a certificate of authority executed by the Board of Managers. 

10. Admission of Additional Members. The Company may admit additional members on such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Board of Managers
and approved in writing by the Member. On approval and admission of such additional member, this Agreement will be amended to reflect the admission of the additional member.

 11. Liquidation Procedures. The Company will be dissolved only upon the written election of the Member. On
dissolution of the Company, the Board of Managers will promptly wind up and terminate the business and affairs of the Company. The Member agrees to execute or cause to be executed all documents required in connection with the dissolution,
termination and winding up of the Company. A reasonable period of time will be allowed for the orderly termination of the Company’s business, discharge of the Company’s liabilities and distribution or liquidation of the remaining assets so
as to enable the Company to minimize the losses from the liquidation process. The Company’s property and assets and/or the proceeds from the liquidation thereof will be paid, applied and/or distributed in the following order of priority: 

 

	 	11.1.	Creditors’ Claims. To the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company and the expenses of liquidation including, but not limited to, any loans or advancements made by the Member to the Company.

  

	 	11.2.	Reserves. To the creation of any reserves which the Board of Managers deems reasonably necessary for any liabilities or anticipated liabilities of the Company or of the Member arising out of the Company. Such
reserves will be paid over by the Board of Managers to a person satisfactory to the Board of Managers to be held in escrow for such period as the Board of Managers deems advisable and for distribution at the expiration of such term in the manner
hereinafter provided. 

  

	 	11.3.	Capital Accounts. The balance, if any, will be distributed to the Member. 

  

	 	11.4.	No Liability. The Member will not be required to make capital contributions or to advance funds to the Company as a result of a negative capital account or the inability of the Company to make the payments
described in the foregoing paragraphs. The sole obligation of the Board of Managers or the Member with respect to such payments will be to apply Company funds to the extent the same are available in the order and manner provided in such paragraphs.

 12. Indemnification. The Company will have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a member,
Manager, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company or other
enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and
in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not, of itself, create a presumption that such person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. 

13. Certificates. Ownership will be maintained in an ownership ledger kept in electronic format and no certificates will be issued unless specifically
requested by a member. Each member whose units have been paid for in full will be entitled to and may request a certificate or certificates evidencing the number of units standing on the books in the

  
 6 

 
member’s name. Each certificate will be numbered, bear the signatures of the president or vice president, and the treasurer or an assistant treasurer or the secretary or an assistant
secretary, certify the number of units represented by the certificate, bear the seal of the Company and be issued according to the numerical order maintained in the electronic ownership ledger. A record of each certificate issued will be maintained
by the Company. Any or all the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate will have ceased to be such officer,
transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Company with the same effect as if the person who signed the certificate was such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. 

14. Transfer. The secretary will transfer units on the books of the Company on receipt of proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to
transfer and evidence of compliance with any agreement restricting transfer by which the member is bound, or if a unit certificate has been previously issued, the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the transferred units duly
endorsed or accompanied by the foregoing proper evidence. Surrendered certificates will be canceled and, if requested, new certificates issued to the member entitled thereto. 
  

	15.	Miscellaneous. It is further agreed that: 

  

	 	15.1.	Amendment. Any amendment of this Agreement or the Articles will require the written approval of the Member. 

  

	 	15.2.	Governing Law. This Agreement has been executed, delivered and is intended to be performed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and the substantive laws of the State of Oklahoma will govern the validity, construction and
enforcement of this Agreement. 

  

	 	15.3.	Binding Effect. This instrument may not be changed, modified, amended or supplemented except in writing. This Agreement will be binding on the Member and the Member’s representatives, successors and assigns.
If any part of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, the balance will nevertheless be carried into effect. 

  

	 	15.4.	Notices. Any notice, payment, demand or communication required or permitted to be given by any provision of this Agreement will be deemed to have been given when delivered personally to the Member or Manager or
when actually received if sent by registered or certified mail, postage and charges prepaid, to the Member or Manager at the address reflected on the Company’s books and records. 

 

	 	15.5.	Construction. This Agreement is made in accordance with the Act and is to be construed, enforced and governed in accordance therewith. The descriptive headings contained herein are for convenience only and are
not intended to define the subject matter of the provisions of this Agreement.
