and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of
assets from which distributions to the Member might properly be paid. 
  
 (e) To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to any other Covered Person, a Covered Person acting under this Agreement shall not be
liable to the Company or to any other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement or any approval or authorization granted by the Company or any other Covered Person. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent
that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Member and the Special Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

admitted to the Company as a member of the Company upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which instrument may be a counterpart signature page to this Agreement. If the
Member transfers all of its limited liability company interest in the Company pursuant to this Section 21, such admission shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the transfer and, immediately following such admission, the transferor
Member shall cease to be a member of the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any successor to the Member by merger or consolidation in compliance with the Basic Documents shall, without further act, be the Member
hereunder, and such merger or consolidation shall not constitute an assignment for purposes of this Agreement and the Company shall continue without dissolution. 
  

	Section 22.	Resignation. 

  
 So long as any Obligation is outstanding, the Member may not resign, except as permitted under the Basic Documents and if the Rating Agency Condition is
satisfied. If the Member is permitted to resign pursuant to this Section 22, an additional member of the Company shall be admitted to the Company, subject to Section 23, upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be
bound 

  

 11 

 
by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which instrument may be a counterpart signature page to this Agreement. Such admission shall be deemed
effective immediately prior to the resignation and, immediately following such admission, the resigning Member shall cease to be a member of the Company. 
  

	Section 23.	Admission of Additional Members. 

  
 One or more additional members of the Company may be admitted to the Company with the written consent of the Member; provided, however,
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any Obligation remains outstanding, no additional Member may be admitted to the Company pursuant to Sections 21, 22 or 23 unless the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied. 
  

	Section 24.	Dissolution. 

  
 (a) Subject to Section 9(j), the Company shall be dissolved, and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first to occur of the following: (i) the
termination of the legal existence of the last remaining member of the Company or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued membership of the last remaining member of the Company in the Company unless the Company is continued
without dissolution in a manner permitted by this Agreement or the Act or (ii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act. Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining member of the
Company or the last remaining Member to cease to be a member of the Company (other than (i) upon assignment by the Member of all of its limited liability company interest in the Company and the admission of the transferee pursuant to Sections
21 and 23 or (ii) the resignation of the Member and the admission of an additional member of the Company pursuant to Sections 22 and 23), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of such member is hereby authorized
to, and shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member in the Company, agree in writing (i) to continue the Company and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative
or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of the Company, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member of the Company in the Company. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Bankruptcy of
the Member or a Special Member shall not cause the Member or Special Member, respectively, to cease to be a member of the Company and upon the occurrence of such an event, the Company shall continue without dissolution. 
  
 (c) In the event of dissolution, the Company shall conduct only such
activities as are necessary to wind up its affairs (including the sale of the assets of the Company in an orderly manner), and the assets of the Company shall be applied in the manner, and in the order of priority, set forth in Section 18-804
of the Act. 
  
 (d) 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 Member in the manner provided for in this Agreement and (ii) the Certificate of
Formation shall have been canceled in the manner required by the Act. 
  

	Section 25.	Waiver of Partition: Nature of Interest. 

  
 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Member and the Special Members hereby
irrevocably waives any right or power that such Person might have to cause the Company or any of its assets to be partitioned, to cause the appointment 

  

 12 

 
of a receiver for all or any portion of the assets of the Company, to compel any sale of all or any portion of the assets of the Company pursuant to any
applicable law or to file a complaint or to institute any proceeding at law or in equity to cause the dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination of the Company. The Member shall not have any interest in any specific assets of the Company,
and the Member shall not have the status of a creditor with respect to any distribution pursuant to Section 16 hereof. The interest of the Member in the Company is personal property. 
  

	Section 26.	Benefits of Agreement; No Third-Party Rights. 

  
 None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditor of the Company or by any creditor of the Member or a
Special Member. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create any right in any Person (other than Covered Persons) not a party hereto, and this Agreement shall not be construed in any respect to be a contract in whole or in part for the
benefit of any third Person (except as provided in Section 29). 
  

	Section 27.	Severability of Provisions. 

  
 Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered severable and if for any reason any provision or provisions herein are determined to be invalid,
unenforceable or illegal under any existing or future law, such invalidity, unenforceability or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Agreement which are valid, enforceable and legal. 
  

	Section 28.	Entire Agreement. 

  
 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. 
  

	Section 29.	Binding Agreement. 

  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Member agrees that this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 7, 8, 9, 10,
20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 29 and 31, constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Member, and is enforceable against the Member by the Independent Managers, in accordance with its terms. In addition, the Independent Managers shall be
intended beneficiaries of this Agreement. 
  

	Section 30.	Governing Law. 

  
 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to conflict of laws principles),
all rights and remedies being governed by said laws. 
  

	Section 31.	Amendments. 

  
 Subject to Section 9(j), this Agreement may not be modified, altered, supplemented or amended except pursuant to a written agreement executed and
delivered by the Member. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, so long as any Obligation is outstanding, this Agreement may not be modified, altered, supplemented or amended unless the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied
except: (i) to cure any ambiguity or (ii) to convert or supplement any provision in a manner consistent with the intent of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents. 
  

 13

constitute one and the same instrument. 
  

	Section 33.	Notices. 

  
 Any notices required to be delivered hereunder shall be in writing and personally delivered, mailed or sent by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar

	Section 35.	Tax Matters. 

  
 The Member intends to form a limited liability company and does not intend to form a partnership under the laws of the State of Delaware or any other
