As of the date hereof, the Directors are William Utt, Ian Craig, Kenneth Hvid, Craig Laurie, Jim Reid, Denis Turcotte, William Transier, Gregory Morrison and Nelson Silva, and each such Person shall hold

Any vacancy caused by any such resignation or by the death of any Director or any vacancy for any other reason (including due to the authorization by the Board of a newly created directorship) and not filled by the Member(s) may be filled by a majority of the votes of the Directors then in office, although less than a quorum, and any Director so elected to fill any such vacancy shall hold office until their successor is elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal; provided that such Director can be removed with or without cause and replaced by the Members(s).

10 such call or video conference originated. An action of the Board that is taken at a meeting held telephonically or by video conference will be deemed to have been made in Bermuda if the call or video conference originated in Bermuda and at least one Director voting on such action participated in the meeting while in Bermuda. (ii) Quorum. A Majority of the Board shall constitute a quorum of the Board for purposes of conducting business; provided, however, that such quorum shall be properly constituted only if a majority of the Directors included in such quorum are not residents of Canada for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act.

(iii) Attendance and Waiver of Notice. Attendance of a Director at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting. (iv) Actions Without a Meeting. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, any action of the Board may be taken by written consent (which may include consent by electronic transmission, including email) of all of the Directors; provided, however, that the last Director to execute such consent shall not have done so while in Canada. Any such action taken by the Board without a meeting shall be effective only if the consent or consents set forth the actions so taken and are in writing and are consented by each member of the Board. For purposes of this Section 3.1(d)(iv), an “action” of the Board shall include any approval, consent or authorization of, or any other action taken by, the Board. An action of the Board that is taken by written consent in accordance with this Section 3.1(d)(iv) will be deemed to have been made in Bermuda if the last Director to execute such written consent executes such written consent while in Bermuda. (e) Compensation of the Directors. Any Director who is not an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Limited Partnership) (“Outside Directors”) shall be entitled to receive such reasonable compensation (if any) from the Company for his or her services as such a Director of the Company as may be from time to time approved by the Board, which compensation may include a fixed sum.

11 approved by the Board (if any). The Company shall maintain, in full force and effect, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on customary terms.

Each Director shall be entitled to indemnification rights pursuant to his or her respective indemnification agreement no less favorable than indemnification rights provided to any other Director. Any Director that is not an Outside Director shall not receive any salary or other compensation for his or her service as a Director, provided, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to preclude any Director (including the Chief Executive Officer) from serving the Company, the Limited Partnership or any of their respective Subsidiaries in any other capacity and receiving compensation for such service or from being reimbursed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of such Director in connection with being a member of the Board. (f) Chairman of the Board. A Majority of the Board may appoint one of the Directors to serve as the Chairman of the Board (the “Chairman”). The Chairman shall be a natural person who is not a resident of Canada for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act, and shall be authorized to, and shall, act in such capacity only outside of Canada. At any time, the Chairman, if any, can be removed from his or her position as Chairman by a Majority of the Board. The Chairman, in his or her capacity as the Chairman of the Board, shall not have any of the rights or powers of an officer of the Company, nor shall the Chairman have any additional voting rights. The Chairman shall preside at all meetings of the Board and at all meetings of the Members at which he or she shall be present. (g) Committees of the Board. (i) The Board may create such committees of the Board as it may, from time to time, deem necessary, appropriate or advisable, in its sole discretion, to carry on the affairs of the Company. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.1(g), the Board, in its sole discretion, may establish and change the authority and responsibilities of such committees and may adopt one or more charters governing the size, authority and responsibilities, among other things, of such committee. (ii) With respect to any committee of the Board, a Majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum of such committee for purposes of conducting business; provided, however, that such quorum shall be properly constituted only if a majority of the Directors included in such quorum are not residents of Canada for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act. A Director may vote or be present at a meeting of a committee of the Board either in person or by proxy. At all times when a committee of the Board is conducting business at a meeting of such committee, a quorum of the committee must be


 
12 present at such meeting and a majority of the Directors participating at such meeting must not be residents of Canada for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of a committee of the Board, then the Directors present at the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time and shall promptly give notice to the committee members not present at the meeting of when the meeting will be reconvened.

An action of a Board committee that is taken at a meeting held telephonically or by video conference will be deemed to have been made in Bermuda if the call or video conference originated in Bermuda and at least one Director voting on such action participated in the meeting while in Bermuda. (iv) Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any action of a committee of the Board may be taken by written consent (which may include consent by electronic transmission, including email) of all of the Directors comprising such committee without a meeting; provided, however, that the last Director to execute such consent shall not have done so while in Canada. An action of a Board committee that is taken by written consent in accordance with this Section 3.1(g)(iv) will be deemed to have been made in Bermuda if the last Director to execute such written consent executes such written consent while in Bermuda. Any such action taken by any such committee of the Board without a meeting shall be effective only if the consent or consents set forth the actions so taken and are in writing and are consented by each member of such committee of the Board. For purposes of this Section 3.1(g)(iv), an “action” of a committee of the Board shall include any approval, consent or authorization of, or any other action taken by, such committee of the Board. (v) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each member of the Conflicts Committee (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement) shall meet the independence requirements for service on such committee set forth in the Limited Partnership Agreement.

In addition, the officers shall have such other powers and duties as may be prescribed by the Board or this Agreement. The Chief Executive Officer and the President shall have the power and authority to delegate to any agents or employees of the Company rights and powers of officers of the Company to manage and control the day-to-day business, operations and affairs of the Company in the ordinary course of its business, as the Chief Executive Officer or the President may deem appropriate from time to time, in each case, unless the Board shall have previously restricted (specifically or generally) such powers.

The Directors, in the performance of their duties as such, shall owe to the Company and, through the Company, to the Members duties of loyalty and care of the type owed by the directors of a corporation to such corporation under the laws of the Republic of


 
15 the Marshall Islands; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Director shall have any duty or obligation to bring any “corporate opportunity” to the Company. The officers, in the performance of their duties as such, shall owe to the Members duties of loyalty and care of the type owed by the officers of a corporation to such corporation under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no officer shall have any duty or obligation to bring any “corporate opportunity” to the Company. 3.4 Performance of Duties; Liability of Directors and Officers. In performing his or her duties, each of the Directors and the officers shall be entitled to rely in good faith on the provisions of this Agreement and on information, opinions, reports, or statements (including financial statements and information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value or amount of the assets, liabilities, Profits or Losses of the Company or any facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Members might properly be paid), of the following other Persons or groups: (a) one or more officers or employees of the Company; (b) any attorney, independent accountant, or other Person employed or engaged by the Company; or (c) any other Person who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, in each case as to matters which such relying Person reasonably believes to be within such other Person's professional or expert competence. The preceding sentence shall in no way limit any Person's right to rely on information to the extent provided in Section 29 of the Act. No individual who is a Director or an officer of the Company, or any combination of the foregoing, shall be personally liable under any judgment of a court, or in any other manner, for any debt, obligation, or liability of the Company, whether that liability or obligation arises in contract, tort, or otherwise, solely by reason of being a Director or an officer of the Company or any combination of the foregoing. To the full extent that the Act permits the limitation or elimination of liability of Directors, a Director shall not be liable to the Company or its Members for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director. 3.5 Indemnification. Notwithstanding Section 3.3, the Directors and officers of the Company shall not be liable, responsible or accountable for damages or otherwise to the Company, or to the Members, and, to the fullest extent allowed by law, each Director and each officer of the Company shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company, including advancement of reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses from and against all claims, liabilities, and expenses arising out of any management of Company affairs; provided that (A) such Director's or officer's course of conduct was pursued in good faith and believed by him to be in the best interests of the Company and was reasonably believed by him to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Director or officer pursuant to this Agreement and (B) such course of conduct did not constitute gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud on the part of such Director or officer and otherwise was in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including compliance with the relevant fiduciary duties), as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. The rights of indemnification provided in this Section 3.5 are intended to provide indemnification of the Directors and the officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Act regarding a limited liability company’s indemnification of its directors and officers (subject to


 
16 the proviso contained in the previous sentence) and will be in addition to any rights to which the Directors or officers may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law (subject to the proviso contained in the previous sentence) and shall extend to such Director's or officer's heirs, personal representatives and assigns. The absence of any express provision for indemnification herein shall not limit any right of indemnification existing independently of this Section 3.5. Each Director's and each officer's right to advancement of expenses (including legal fees and other expenses) pursuant to this Section 3.5 may be conditioned upon the delivery by such Director or such officer of a written undertaking to repay such amount if such individual is determined pursuant to this Section 3.5 or adjudicated to be ineligible for indemnification, which undertaking shall be an unlimited general obligation. It is acknowledged and agreed that the Company shall be solely liable for indemnification and expense advancement obligations to each Director and each officer (notwithstanding any other right to indemnification or advancement of expenses that such Director or officer may have) and that no Member shall be obligated to contribute, advance or lend money to the Company to pay any indemnification and expense advancement obligations pursuant to this Section 3.5. 3.6 Prospective Amendments. No amendment, modification or repeal of Section 3.4 or Section 3.5 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future person entitled to be indemnified by the Company hereunder, nor the obligations of the Company to indemnify any such person under and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement 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. ARTICLE IV Members 4.1 Registered Members. The Company shall be entitled to treat the owner of record of any Equity Interest as the owner in fact of such Equity Interest for all purposes, and accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Equity Interest on the part of any other Person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice of such claim or interest, except as expressly provided by this Agreement or the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. 4.2 Limitation of Liability. No Member will be obligated personally for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries or other Members by reason of being a Member, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise. No Member will have any responsibility to restore any negative balance in his or her Capital Account or to contribute to or in respect of the liabilities or obligations of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries or return distributions made by the Company. No Member or group of Members (unless such Member is a Director or officer of the Company, and then only in such capacity as a Director or officer of the Company) shall have any fiduciary or other duty to the Company, its Subsidiaries or any other Member with respect to the business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries or otherwise.

So long as a Member continues to own or hold any Equity Interest, such Member shall not have the ability to resign as a Member prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Company and any such resignation or attempted resignation by a Member prior to the dissolution or winding up of the Company shall be null and void. As soon as any Person who is a Member ceases to own or hold any Equity Interest, such Person shall no longer be a Member. 4.4 Death of a Member. The death of any Member shall not cause the dissolution of the Company. In such event the Company and its business shall be continued by the remaining Member or Members and the Equity Interest owned by the deceased Member shall automatically be transferred to such Member's heirs (provided that, within a reasonable time after such transfer, the applicable heirs shall sign a joinder to this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto). 4.5 Authority. No Member, in its capacity as a Member, shall have the power to act for or on behalf of, or to bind the Company. 4.6 Outside Activities. Subject to the terms of any written agreement by or between any Member or any Affiliate of any Member to the contrary, to the fullest extent permitted by law (a) a Member may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Company, including business interests and activities which compete with the Company or its Subsidiaries, and (b) no Member or group of Members (unless such Member is an employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, and then only in such capacity as an employee) shall have any duty or obligation to bring any “corporate opportunity” to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Subject to the terms of any written agreement by any Member or any Affiliate of any Member to the contrary, none of the Company, its Affiliates or any other Member shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any business interests or activities of any other Member or any Affiliate of any other Member. 4.7 No Effect on Lending Relationship. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing contained in this Agreement shall affect, limit or impair the rights and remedies of any lender in their capacity as a lender to the Company, the Limited Partnership or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to any agreement which the Company, the Limited Partnership or any of their respective Subsidiaries has borrowed money. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such Person, in exercising its rights as a lender, including making its decision on whether to foreclose on any collateral security, shall have no duty to consider (a) its or any of its Affiliates’ status as a direct or indirect equityholder of the Company, (b) the interests of the Company or the Limited Partnership or (c) any duty it or any of its Affiliates may have hereunder or otherwise to any other direct or indirect equityholder of the Company or the Limited Partnership, except as may be required under the applicable loan documents or by commercial law applicable to creditors generally.


 
18 ARTICLE V Equity Interests; Membership 5.1 Equity Interests Generally. The Equity Interests of the Members shall not be certificated unless otherwise determined by the Board. The Company shall maintain a schedule of all Members from time to time setting forth the Percentage Interests held by them (as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Members Schedule”), a copy of which as of the execution of this Agreement is attached hereto as Schedule A. An Equity Interest shall not, to the extent permitted by law, entitle a Member to call for a partition or division of any property of the Company or for any accounting. 5.2 Authorization of Equity Interests. There shall only be a single class, and no series, of Equity Interests. 5.3 Issuance of Equity Interests. The Company shall not, without the prior written approval of the Members, have the right to issue additional Equity Interests after the date of this Agreement. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall not issue any Equity Interest to any Person that is not already a Member unless such Person has executed and delivered to the Company the documents described in Section 5.4. Upon the issuance of any Equity Interest authorized pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall adjust the Capital Accounts of the Members as necessary in accordance with Section 6.2. 5.4 New Members from the Issuance of Equity Interests. In order for a Person to be admitted as a Member of the Company pursuant to the issuance of Equity Interests (subject to Section 5.3) or permitted transfer of any Equity Interest to such Person, such Person shall have executed and delivered to the Company a written undertaking to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Upon the amendment of the Members Schedule by the Company and the satisfaction of any other applicable conditions set forth in this Agreement, including, if a condition, the receipt by the Company of payment for the issuance of the applicable Equity Interest, such Person shall be admitted as a Member and deemed listed as such on the books and records of the Company and thereupon shall be issued such Equity Interest. The Company shall also adjust the Capital Accounts of the Members as necessary in accordance with Section 6.2. ARTICLE VI Capital Contributions and Capital Accounts 6.1 Capital Contributions. (a) Percentage Interests as of the Date Hereof. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, each Member as of the date hereof is deemed to have made the Capital Contribution and own the Percentage Interest set forth opposite such Member's name on the Members Schedule as in effect on the date hereof.


 
19 (b) No Other Rights or Obligations. No Member shall make or be required to make any additional contributions to the Company with respect to such Member's Equity Interest. Except as expressly provided herein, no Member, in its capacity as a Member, shall have the right to receive any cash or any other property of the Company. 6.2 Capital Accounts. (a) Maintenance Rules. The Company shall maintain for each Member a separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) in accordance with this Section 6.2(a). Each Capital Account shall be maintained in accordance with the following provisions: (i) Such Capital Account shall be increased by the cash amount or Book Value of any property contributed or deemed contributed by such Member to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, such Member's allocable share of Profits and any items in the nature of income or gains which are specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, and the amount of any liabilities of the Company assumed by such Member or which are secured by any property distributed to such Member. (ii) Such Capital Account shall be decreased by the cash amount or Book Value of any property distributed to such Member pursuant to this Agreement, such Member's allocable share of Losses and any items in the nature of deductions or losses which are specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 and the amount of any liabilities of such Member assumed by the Company or which are secured by any property contributed by such Member to the Company. (iii) If all or any portion of a Member’s Equity Interest is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred Equity Interest (or portion thereof). (iv) If a new or existing Member contributes money or property to the Company (other than a de minimis amount as determined by the Board) as consideration for the issuance by the Company of any Equity Interest after the date hereof, if a retiring or existing Member receives a distribution of money or property as consideration for any Equity Interest of the Company after the date hereof, or upon any other events described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the Capital Accounts of the Members may be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), in the discretion of the Board. The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Section 1.704-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. If the Board determines that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any increases or decreases to the Capital Accounts, are computed in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, the Board may authorize such modifications.


 
20 (b) Definition of Profits and Losses. “Profits” and “Losses” mean, for each Taxable Year or other period, an amount equal to the Company's taxable income or loss, respectively, for such Taxable Year or other period, determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a) (for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Code Section 703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable income or loss), with the following adjustments: (i) The computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall include tax-exempt income and those items described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income or are not deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes. (ii) If the Book Value of any Company property is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f), the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such property (provided that if the Book Value of any Company property is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(5)(i), the allocation of gain or loss shall be made immediately prior to the related acquisition of the interest in the Company). (iii) Items of income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to the disposition of Company property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of such property. (iv) Items of depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions with respect to Company property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the property's Book Value in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g). (v) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company property pursuant to Code Sections 732(d), 734(b) or 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 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). (vi) Items specially allocated pursuant to Sections 8.2 and 8.3 shall be excluded from the computation of Profits and Losses. 6.3 Negative Capital Accounts. If any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account, such Member shall have no obligation to restore such negative balance or to make any Capital Contributions to the Company by reason thereof, and such negative balance shall not be considered an asset of the Company or of any Member.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make any distribution to the Members if such distribution would violate Section 40 of the Act or other applicable law. 7.2 Distributions. Distributions of available cash shall be distributed on a quarterly basis to all of the Members, pro rata based on their Percentage Interest. Assets other than available cash (taking such other assets into account at their Fair Market Value at the time of distributions) shall be distributed, at such times and in such amounts as the Board determines in its sole discretion, to all of the Members, pro rata based on their Percentage Interest. 7.3 Withholding Taxes. If the Company is required by law to make any payment on behalf of a Member in his, her or its capacity as such (including in respect of withholding taxes, personal property taxes, and unincorporated business taxes, or an imputed underpayment as defined under Section 6225 of the Code, etc.), then the Company will reduce current or subsequent distributions which would otherwise be made to such Member until the Company has recovered the amount paid on behalf of such Member (and the amount of such reduction will be deemed to


 
22 have been distributed to such Member for all purposes of this Agreement), as determined in the discretion of the Board. ARTICLE VIII U.S. Tax Allocations 8.1 Allocations of Profits and Losses. The Company's Profit and Loss for any fiscal period shall be allocated among the Members for U.S. tax purposes in such a manner that, as of the end of such fiscal period and to the extent possible, the Capital Account of each Member shall be equal to the respective net amount which would be distributed to such Member under this Agreement, determined as if the Company were to (a) liquidate the assets of the Company for an amount equal to their Book Value as of the end of such fiscal period and (b) distribute the proceeds in liquidation in accordance with Section 10.2. 8.2 Regulatory and Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.1: (a) If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain (determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(d)(1)) during any Taxable Year, each Member shall be specially allocated Profits for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This paragraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. (b) Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Member that has a share of such Member Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated Profits for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to that Member's share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain. Items to be allocated pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This paragraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. (c) In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), Profits shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This paragraph is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.


 
23 (d) The allocations set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article VIII (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Profits and Losses among Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Profits and Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. 8.3 Curative Allocations. If the Board determines, after consultation with counsel experienced in U.S. income tax matters, that the allocation of any item of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or credit is not specified in this Article VIII (an “unallocated item”), or that the allocation of any item of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or credit hereunder is clearly inconsistent with the Members' economic interests in the Company (determined by reference to the general principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b) and the factors set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(3)(ii)) (a “misallocated item”), then the Board may allocate such unallocated items, or reallocate such misallocated items, to reflect such economic interests; provided that no such allocation will be made without the prior consent of each Member that would be affected thereby (which consent no such Member may unreasonably withhold) and provided further that no such allocation shall have any material effect on the amounts distributable to any Member, including the amounts to be distributed upon the complete liquidation of the Company. 8.4 Tax Allocations. (a) All income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company shall be allocated, for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and credits among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation for tax purposes is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, the Company's subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits shall be allocated among the Members for tax purposes, to the extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law, so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts. Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit realized by the Company in any Taxable Year shall be allocated pro rata to the Members according to the amount of Profit or Loss, as the case may be, allocated to them in such year. (b) Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Code Section 704(c) using any method permitted by the Treasury Regulations and selected by the Board, so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its Book Value. (c) If the Book Value of any Company property is adjusted pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(iv), subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with


 
24 respect to such property shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value for purposes of Code Section 704(c) using any method permitted by the Treasury Regulations and selected by the Board. (d) Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as determined by the Board taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii). Allocations pursuant to this Section 8.4 are solely for purposes of U.S. 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 Profits, Losses, distributions or other items pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement. ARTICLE IX Elections and Reports 9.1 Generally. The Company will keep appropriate books and records with respect to the Company's business, including all books and records required to be kept, maintained or retained pursuant to the Act or other applicable law or necessary to provide any information, lists and copies of documents required to be provided pursuant to Section 9.3. Access to the books and records of the Company shall be granted to Members and Managers as provided in the Act. Such books and records shall be kept at the principal office of the Company or at such other location outside of Canada. 9.2 Fiscal Year. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Company’s books and records shall be kept on a December 31 calendar year basis. 9.3 Bank Accounts. All funds of the Company will be deposited in its name in an account or accounts maintained outside Canada. Checks shall be drawn upon the Company account or accounts only for the purposes of the Company and may be signed by such persons as may be designated by the Board, subject to the other restrictions contained in this Section 9.3. All banking and finance activities (apart from those of a purely administrative nature) of the Company shall be conducted outside of Canada. Without limiting the foregoing: (a) no person who is resident in Canada for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act shall have sole signing authority with respect to any bank account of the Company; (b) if a person who is resident in Canada for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act has signing authority with respect to a bank account of the Company, no funds may be drawn on such bank account without authorization from one or more co-signatories who are non-residents of Canada for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act; (c) each person (other than a Canadian-resident co-signatory) who has signing authority with respect to a bank account of the Company shall exercise such signing authority only outside of Canada; and (d) treasury personnel of the Company and its Affiliates (through subcontracting arrangements) may be given electronic access to bank accounts of the Company, but only for purposes of processing payments as directed or approved by the applicable Director or officer of the Company.


 
25 9.4 Tax Status. The Members intend that the Company be treated as a partnership for United States federal, state and local income tax purposes, and the Company and each Member shall file all tax returns on the basis consistent therewith. The Company has filed, or shall file within 74 days of the Effective Date, an IRS Form 8832 electing to be treated as “disregarded as an entity separate from its owner” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701- 3(b)(2)(i)(C)), which election is effective no later than the day prior to the Effective Date. 9.5 Reports. The Company will use reasonable best efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered, as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of each taxable year of the Company (and, in any event, will deliver not later than March 20) of each year, to each Person who was a Member at any time during the previous Taxable Year, all information (including a Schedule K-1) reasonably necessary for the preparation of such Person's United States federal income tax returns and any state, local and foreign income tax returns which such Person is required to file as a result of the Company being engaged in a trade or business within such state, local or foreign jurisdiction, including a statement showing such Person's share of income, gains, losses, deductions and credits for such year for United States federal income tax purposes (and, if applicable, state, local or foreign income tax purposes). In addition, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to provide the Members with the Form 1099 received by the Company in respect of its investment in the Limited Partnership no later than February 15 of each taxable year. The Company will cooperate with the Members to provide any information with respect to the Company or the Limited Partnership that the Members reasonably requests to satisfy any U.S. federal, state, local or non- U.S. tax reporting requirements of the Members. 9.6 Tax Elections. The Board will determine whether to make or revoke any available election for the Company pursuant to the Code. Each Member will upon request supply the information necessary to give proper effect to any such election. At the request of the any Member, the Company will make an election under Section 754 of the Code, and any corresponding election under state, local or non-U.S. tax law. 9.7 Tax Controversies. The Board shall designate the “tax matters partner” (as such term is defined in Code Section 6231 to the extent applicable for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2018) for the Company and the “partnership representative” for purposes of the Partnership Tax Audit Rules for the Company (in each case, the “Tax Matters Partner”), provided that the Board may replace the Tax Matters Partner at any time. The Tax Matters Partner is authorized and required to represent the Company (at the Company's expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company's affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Company funds for professional services and costs associated therewith, in each case, at the direction of the Board. Each Member agrees to cooperate with the Tax Matters Partner and/or the Board and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably requested by the Tax Matters Partner and/or the Board with respect to the conduct of such proceedings. Subject to the foregoing proviso, the Board will have sole discretion to determine whether the Company will contest or continue to contest any tax deficiencies assessed or proposed to be assessed by any taxing authority. The Board may cause the Tax Matters Partner to take, or cause the Company to take, such other actions as may be necessary or advisable pursuant to U.S.


 
26 Department of Treasury Regulations or other guidance to ratify the designation, pursuant to this Section 9.7, of the Tax Matters Partner; and each other Member agrees to take such other actions as may be requested by the Tax Matters Partner and/or the Board to ratify or confirm any such designation pursuant to this Section 9.7. 9.8 Passive Foreign Investment Company. The Board shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Limited Partnership to determine, on an annual basis, based on the advice of the Limited Partnership’s accountant or other tax advisor, whether the Limited Partnership or any of the Limited Partnership’s Subsidiaries is a passive foreign investment company, within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code. If the Board determines in accordance with the preceding sentence that the Limited Partnership or any of the Limited Partnership’s Subsidiaries is a passive foreign investment company, within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code, the Board shall for that year and thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Limited Partnership, on an annual basis, to provide to the Members such information that (a) the Members (or their direct or indirect owners) reasonably request to enable the Members (or their direct or indirect owners) to complete their U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms 8621 with respect to any of their investments in the Limited Partnership and (b) will enable the Members (or their direct or indirect owners) to make and/or maintain a “qualified electing fund” election with respect to any of their investments in the Limited Partnership, as such terms are defined in Section 1295 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. ARTICLE X Dissolution and Liquidation 10.1 Dissolution. Subject to Section 46 of the Act, the Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up only upon the happening of any of the following events: (a) Upon the election to dissolve the Company upon approval by all of the parties hereto; or (b) The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 47 of the Act. Dissolution of the Company shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Company shall not terminate until the winding up of the Company has been completed, the assets of the Company have been distributed as provided in Section 10.2 and the Certificate shall have been canceled. 10.2 Liquidation. (a) Liquidator. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Board will appoint a Person (who shall not be a resident of Canada for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act) to act as the “Liquidator,” and such Person shall act as the Liquidator unless and until a successor Liquidator is appointed as provided in this Section 10.2. The Liquidator will agree not to resign at any time without 30 days' prior written notice to the Board. The Liquidator may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by notice of removal and appointment of a successor Liquidator approved


 
27 by the Board. Any successor Liquidator will succeed to all rights, powers and duties of the former Liquidator. The right to appoint a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided in this Section 10.2 will be recurring and continuing for so long as the functions and services of the Liquidator are authorized to continue under the provisions of this Agreement, and every reference in this Agreement to the Liquidator will be deemed to refer also to any such successor or substitute Liquidator appointed in the manner provided in this Section 10.2. The Liquidator will receive as compensation for its services (1) no additional compensation, if the Liquidator is an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or of any of the Members, or (2) if the Liquidator is not such an employee, such compensation as the Board may approve, plus, in either case, reimbursement of the Liquidator's out-of-pocket expenses in performing its duties. (b) Liquidating Actions. The Liquidator will liquidate the assets of the Company and apply and distribute the proceeds of such liquidation, in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of the Act or other applicable law: (i) First, to the payment of the Company's debts and obligations to its creditors (including Members and Managers), including sales commissions and other expenses incident to any sale of the assets of the Company, in order of the priority provided by the Act and other applicable law; (ii) Second, to the establishment of and additions to such reserves as the Board deems necessary or appropriate; and (iii) Third, to the Members, in accordance with Section 7.2. The reserves established pursuant to clause (ii) above will be paid over by the Liquidator to a bank or other financial institution, to be held in escrow for the purpose of paying any such contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations and, at the expiration of such period as the Board deems advisable, such reserves will be distributed to the Members in the manner provided above in this Section 10.2(b). The allocations and distributions provided for in this Agreement are intended to result in the Capital Account of each Member immediately prior to the distribution of the Company's assets pursuant to this Section 10.2(b) being equal to the amount distributable to such Member pursuant to this Section 10.2(b). (c) Distribution in Kind. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.2(b) which require the liquidation of the assets of the Company, but subject to the order of priorities set forth in Section 10.2(b), if upon dissolution of the Company the Board determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company's assets would be impractical or could cause undue loss to the Members, the Board may, in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law, defer the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy Company liabilities and reserves, and may, in its absolute discretion, distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2(b), undivided interests in such Company assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distribution in kind will be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operating of such properties


 
28 at such time. For purposes of any such distribution, any property to be distributed will be valued at its Fair Market Value. (d) Reasonable Time for Winding Up. A reasonable time will be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 10.2(b) in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up. Distributions upon liquidation of the Company (or any Member's interest in the Company) and related adjustments will be made by the end of the Taxable Year of the liquidation (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation) or as otherwise permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b). (e) Termination. Upon completion of the distribution of the assets of the Company as provided in Section 10.2(b), the Company shall be terminated and the Liquidator shall cause the cancellation of the Certificate in the Republic of the Marshall Islands and of all qualifications and registrations of the Company as a foreign limited liability company in jurisdictions other than the Republic of the Marshall Islands and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company. ARTICLE XI Transfer of Equity Interests 11.1 General Restrictions on Transfer. (a) Each Member may freely Transfer its Equity Interest or any portion thereof without the consent or approval of the Company, the other Member(s) or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no transferee of any Equity Interests (or portion thereof) received pursuant to a Transfer (but excluding transferees that were Members immediately prior to such a Transfer, who shall automatically become a Member with respect to any additional Equity Interest they so acquire) shall become a Member in respect of or be deemed to have any ownership rights in the Equity Interest so Transferred unless the purported transferee is admitted as a Member as set forth in Section 11.2. (b) Following a Transfer of any Equity Interest that is permitted under this Article XI, the transferee of such Equity Interest (or portion thereof) shall succeed to the Capital Account associated with such Equity Interest (or portion thereof) and shall receive allocations and distributions under Articles VI, VII, VIII and X in respect of such Equity Interest (or portion thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Profits, Losses and other items will be allocated between the transferor and the transferee according to Code Section 706. (c) Any Member who Transfers all of such Member’s Equity Interest (i) shall cease to be a Member upon such Transfer, and (ii) shall no longer possess or have the power to exercise any rights or powers of a Member of the Company.


 
29 11.2 Procedures for Transfer. (a) The Board shall cause the Company to modify the Members Schedule from time to time to reflect any Transfer permitted under this Article XI and the admittance of any such new Member. (b) Subject in all events to the general restrictions on Transfers contained in Sections 11.1 and 11.4, no Transfer of Equity Interests may be completed to a Person that is not already a Member until the prospective transferee is admitted as a Member of the Company by executing and delivering to the Company a written undertaking to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. Upon the amendment of the Members Schedule by the Company, such prospective transferee shall be admitted as a Member and deemed listed as such on the books and records of the Company. 11.3 Legend. Any certificates or instruments representing the outstanding Equity Interests, if any, will bear the following legend or one that is in similar form: “THE TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE OR INSTRUMENT IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT AMONG THE ISSUER AND ITS MEMBERS. A COPY OF SUCH LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT AS IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.” 11.4 Limitations. (a) In order to permit the Company to qualify for the benefit of a “safe harbor” under Code Section 7704, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Transfer of any Equity Interest shall be permitted or recognized by the Company (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(d)) and the Company shall not issue any Equity Interests if and to the extent that such Transfer or issuance would cause the Company to have more than 100 partners (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h), including the look-through rule in Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)). (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Equity Interest may be Transferred and the Company may not issue any Equity Interest unless (i) such Transfer or issuance, as the case may be, shall not affect the Company's existence or qualification as a limited liability company under the Act, (ii) such Transfer or issuance, as the case may be, shall not cause the Company to be classified as other than a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes, (iii) such Transfer or issuance, as the case may be, shall not result in a termination of the Company under Code Section 708, unless the Board determines that any such termination will not have a material adverse impact on the Members and (iv) such Transfer or issuance, as the


 
30 case may be, shall not cause the application of the tax-exempt use property rules of Code Sections 168(g)(l)(B) and 168(h) to the Company or its Members. ARTICLE XII Miscellaneous Provisions 12.1 Notices. (a) All notices, requests and other communications hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given only if delivered personally against written receipt or by electronic transmission (including facsimile or email) against electronic delivery confirmation or mailed by internationally recognized overnight courier prepaid, to (i) any Member, at such Member's address set forth on the Members Schedule attached hereto or as most recently delivered to all Members by the Company, and (ii) the Company, to the Company's Chief Executive Officer, President or Secretary at the Company's principal place of business (or in any case to such other address as the addressee may from time to time designate in writing to the sender).

All issues and questions concerning the application, construction, validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules to this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and specifically the Act, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the Republic of the Marshall Islands or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Republic of the Marshall Islands. 12.3 No Action for Partition.

Each of the parties to this Agreement shall to the fullest extent permitted by law be entitled to enforce its rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages and costs (including reasonable attorney's fees) caused by any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in its favor. The Members agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or deposit, any requirement for which is hereby waived) for specific performance and/or other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement.

In the event the Company becomes aware of any violation of Anticorruption Laws, it will promptly notify its Members of any violation. For purposes of this Section 12.18, “Anticorruption Laws” means, collectively, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act of 2010, the Brazilian Anti-Corruption Act (Law No. 12,846 of August 1, 2013 ruled by Decree No. 8420, of March 18, 2015), the Brazilian Improbity Law (Law No. 8,429 of June 2, 1992), the Canadian Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (S.C. 1998 c. 34, as amended June 19, 2013) and any other applicable anti- bribery or anti-corruption laws under any applicable jurisdictions. 12.19 Successor Corporation. If the Company undergoes any recapitalization or restructuring or change in form of organization or the Company forms a new entity to succeed to its ownership interest in the Limited Partnership, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the recapitalized, restructured or successor entity mutatis mutandis to the extent reasonably practicable to provide the Members hereof with as nearly equivalent rights as are provided hereunder, and the Members shall make such related further changes to this Agreement as are reasonably required to achieve such nearly equivalent rights. * * * *
