(a) The Members hereby exclusively vest the power to manage, operate and set policies for the Company in a management board (the “Board of Managers”) initially consisting of the persons listed on Schedule B attached hereto (each, a “Manager”). Meetings of the Board of Managers shall be held at the principal place of business of the Company or at any


other place that a majority of the Managers determine. In the alternative, meetings may be held by conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other and such participation shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. The presence of a majority of the total number of the whole Board of Managers shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided that a quorum shall not exist unless at least two Managers are present. Meetings shall be held in accordance with the schedule established by the Board of Managers. In addition, one-third of the Managers then in office (rounded up to the nearest whole number) or the President may convene a meeting of the Board of Managers upon at least five (5) business days’ prior written notice to the other Managers. Decisions of the Board of Managers shall require the approval of majority of the Managers present at a meeting. The Board of Managers also may make decisions, without holding a meeting, by written consent of all of the Managers. Minutes of each meeting and a record of each decision shall be kept by the Secretary of the Company. The Board of Managers may establish such other rules and procedures for its deliberations as it deems necessary or desirable. Managers may be removed, and substituted or additional Managers may be appointed to the Board of Managers, at any time by the Members.

(b) The Board of Managers shall have the power by itself or through agents, and shall be authorized and empowered on behalf and in the name of the Company, to carry out all of the objects and purposes of the Company and to perform all acts and enter into and perform all acts and other undertakings that it may in its discretion deem necessary or advisable in that connection, in each case in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. A Manager acting individually in his capacity shall have the power to act for or bind the Company to the extent authorized to do so by the Board of Managers. Each Manager is hereby designated as an authorized person, within the meaning of the Act, to execute and file a Certificate of Formation (and any amendments and/or restatements) thereof with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and any applicable filings as a foreign limited liability company in any State where such filings may be necessary or desirable. The Board of Managers may designate to any officer of the Company elected in accordance with paragraph (d) below, any of the powers of the Board of Managers set forth in this Agreement.

(c) In connection with the foregoing general powers, the Board of Managers (or any officer to whom the Board of Managers has delegated such authority) is authorized and empowered on behalf and in the name of the Company, or through agents, as appropriate, to:

(i) make all decisions concerning the negotiation, structuring (if appropriate), commitment to and monitoring of investments;

(ii) acquire, hold, sell, transfer, exchange, lend, pledge and dispose of investments and exercise all rights, powers, privileges and other incidents of ownership or possession with respect to investments, including voting rights, approval of restructurings, participation in arrangements with creditors, institution and settlement or compromise of suits and administrative proceedings and similar actions;

(d) The Board of Managers shall have the power to elect such officers of the Company as it may deem proper.

Any officer may be removed from office at any lime either with or without cause by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Managers then in office. Each of the officers of the Company shall have the powers and duties prescribed by the Board of Managers and, unless otherwise prescribed by the Board of Managers, shall have such further powers and duties as ordinarily pertain to that office.

Section 7. Liability; Indemnification.

(a) Any Member, Manager or officer, employee or agent of the Company (including a person having more than one such capacity) shall not be personally liable for any expenses, liabilities, debts or obligations of the Company solely by reason of acting in such capacity, except as otherwise provided by the Act.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Member, Manager and officer, employee and agent of the Company from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of whatever nature (each, a “Claim”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to the management or business of the Company; provided that such indemnification shall not apply to any such person if a court of competent jurisdiction has made a formal determination that such person (x) failed to act in good faith or, (y) was either grossly negligent or engaged in willful misconduct.
