stolen; (ii) requests the issuance of a new Certificate before the Company has notice that the Certificate

imposed by the Company. If a transfer of Units evidenced by a lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate is

registered before the Transfer Agent receives notification in writing from the Record Holder regarding

such loss, destruction or theft, the Record Holder shall be precluded from making any claim against the

Company or the Transfer Agent for such transfer or for a new Certificate. As a condition to the issuance

of any new Certificate under this Section 3.3(b), the Company may require the payment of a sum

sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any

other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) reasonably connected therewith.

Section 3.4Record Holders. The Company shall be entitled to recognize the Record Holder

as the owner with respect to any Unit and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or

other claim to or interest in such Unit on the part of any other Person, regardless of whether the Company

shall have actual or other notice thereof, including in connection with any distribution pursuant to Section

5.3 or 9.3 or the exercise of any voting or other rights pursuant to Section 12.9, except as otherwise

provided by Law or, in the case of the Preferred Units, any applicable rule, regulation, guideline or

requirement of any Securities Exchange on which such Preferred Units are listed for trading. Without

limiting the foregoing, in the case of the Preferred Units, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank,

trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or

in some other representative capacity for another Person in acquiring or holding Preferred Units, as

between the Company, on the one hand, and such other Person, on the other, such representative Person

shall be deemed the Record Holder of such Preferred Unit.

Section 3.5Registration and Transfer; Restrictions on Transfer.

(a)The term “transfer,” when used in this Agreement with respect to a Unit, shall be

deemed to refer to a transaction by which the Record Holder of a Unit directly or indirectly assigns such

Unit to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, exchange or any other disposition by Law or

otherwise, including any transfer upon foreclosure of any pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or

mortgage.

(b)No Unit shall be transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with this

Article III. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, any transfer or purported transfer of a Unit not made in

accordance with this Article III, including any transfer in violation of Section 3.6, shall be null and void.

(c)The Company shall keep or cause to be kept on behalf of the Company a register

which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Board of Directors may prescribe and subject to

Section 3.5(d), will provide for the registration and transfer of Units. A Transfer Agent may be appointed

registrar and transfer agent for the purpose of registration of and transfers of Units as herein provided. In

the absence of manifest error, the register kept by or on behalf of the Company shall be conclusive as to

the identity of the holders of Units. With respect to certificated Units issued by the Company, if any, upon

surrender of a Certificate for registration of transfer of any Units evidenced by such Certificate, the

Company shall deliver, and in the case of certificated Units of a class or series of Units for which a

Transfer Agent has been appointed, the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver, in the name of the

Record Holder or the designated transferee or transferees, to the extent and as required pursuant to the

16

Record Holder’s instructions, one or more new Certificates evidencing the same aggregate number and

type of Units as were evidenced by the Certificate so surrendered. In the case of any transfer of Units

permitted by this Agreement, a transferor shall provide the address and other contact information for each

such transferee as contemplated by Section 14.1.

(d)The Company shall not recognize any purported transfer of Units until the

transfer is registered on the books of the Transfer Agent; provided, that in the event that any Units are

represented by Certificates, notwithstanding Section 5.3 or the registration of the transfer of such

certificated Units pursuant to this Section 3.5(d), no distributions shall be paid in respect of any such

transferred certificated Units until the Certificates evidencing such Units are surrendered to the Transfer

Agent. No charge shall be imposed by the Company for such transfer; provided, that as a condition to the

issuance of any new Certificate or the registration of any transfer, the Company may require the payment

of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed with respect

thereto.

(e)By acceptance of the transfer of any Unit in accordance with this Article III or

the issuance of any Unit in accordance with this Agreement (including in a merger, consolidation or other

business combination pursuant to Article XI), each transferee of a Unit, including any nominee holder or

agent or representative acquiring such Unit for the account of another Person, (i) shall become the Record

Holder of the Unit so transferred or issued, (ii) shall be admitted to the Company as a Substitute Member

or Additional Member with respect to the Unit so transferred or issued to such transferee or other

recipient when any such transfer or admission is reflected in the books and records of the Company, with

or without execution of this Agreement, (iii) shall become bound by the terms of, and shall be deemed to

have agreed to be bound by, this Agreement, with or without execution of this Agreement, (iv) represents

that the transferee or other recipient has the capacity, power and authority to enter into this Agreement,

(v) grants the powers of attorney as specified herein, and (vi) makes the consents, acknowledgements and

waivers contained in this Agreement. Neither the transfer of any Unit nor the admission of any new

Member shall constitute an amendment to this Agreement.

(f)No transfer of a Unit shall entitle the transferee to share in the profits and losses,

to receive distributions, to receive allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit or any similar

item or to any other rights to which the transferor was entitled until the transferee becomes a Member

pursuant to Section 3.5(e).

(g)Subject to (i) the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.5, (ii) Section 3.4, (iii)

Sections 3.6 and 3.9, (iv) with respect to any series or class of Units, the provisions of any Unit

Designation or amendment to this Agreement, (v) any contractual provisions binding on any Member and

(vi) provisions of applicable Law, including the Securities Act, Preferred Units shall be freely

transferable.

Section 3.6Additional Restrictions on Transfer.

(a)Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article III, no transfer of any Units

in whole or in part shall be made if such purported transfer would:

(i)violate applicable Law, including the then-applicable U.S. federal or

state securities Laws or rules and regulations of the SEC, any state securities commission or any other

Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over such transfer;

17

(ii)terminate the existence or qualification of the Company under the Laws

of any jurisdiction;

(iii)cause the Company to be treated as an association taxable as a

corporation or otherwise to be taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (to the extent

not already so treated or taxed); or

(iv)require the Company to be subject to the registration requirements of the

Investment Company Act.

(b)[Reserved].

(c)The Board of Directors may impose additional restrictions on the transfer of

Units if it receives advice of counsel acceptable to the Board of Directors (who may be regular counsel to

the Company or its Affiliates) that such restrictions are necessary or advisable to avoid a significant risk

of (i) the Company becoming taxable as a corporation or otherwise becoming taxable as a corporation for

U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) the Company being subject to the registration requirements of the

Investment Company Act. The Board of Directors may impose such restrictions by amending this

Agreement without the approval of the Members.

(d)To the fullest extent permitted by Law, any transfer in violation of this

Agreement shall be null and void. In the event that any Person would otherwise become the Record

Holder of a Unit through a purported transfer in violation of this Agreement, the Company may, in its sole

discretion, require that the purported transferor take any steps deemed appropriate by the Company or the

Transfer Agent to unwind, cancel or reverse such purported transaction. With respect to the purported

transferee, such Person shall have no rights or economic interest in such Units or otherwise, including any

consent rights, any rights to receive notice of, or attend, a meeting of the Members and any rights to

receive distributions with respect to the Unit. In addition, in the case of Preferred Units, the Company

may, in its sole discretion, redeem the Preferred Unit in the manner provided in Section 3.13 or cause the

transfer of such Preferred Unit to a third party in a transfer permitted by this Agreement and, if such

Preferred Unit is sold or redeemed, the Company shall distribute the proceeds of such sale (net of any

costs or expenses incurred by the Company) to the purported transferor.

(e)In the case of the Preferred Units, without prejudice to any remedies available to

the Company as a result of such transactions nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude the

settlement of any transactions involving Preferred Units entered into through the facilities of any

Securities Exchange on which such Preferred Units are listed for trading.

Section 3.7[Reserved].

Section 3.8[Reserved]

Section 3.9Citizenship Requirements. If any Group Member is or becomes subject to any

Law that, in the determination of the Company in its sole discretion creates a substantial risk of

cancellation or forfeiture of any property in which the Group Member has an interest based on the

nationality, citizenship or other related status of a Member holding Preferred Units, the Company may

request that any such Member furnish to the Company an executed Citizenship Certification or such other

information concerning its nationality, citizenship or other related status (or if the Member is a nominee

holding for the account of another Person, the nationality, citizenship or other related status of such other

Person) as the Company may in its sole discretion request. If a Member holding Preferred Units fails to

18

furnish to the Company such Citizenship Certification or other requested information within 30 days after

receipt of such a request or if, upon receipt of such Citizenship Certification or other requested

information, the Company determines, with the advice of counsel, that a Member holding Preferred Units

is not an Eligible Citizen, the Company may, in its sole discretion (i) require that such Member

immediately transfer its Preferred Units to an Eligible Citizen or (ii) redeem such Preferred Units in the

manner set forth in Section 3.13. Any compulsory transfer of Preferred Units pursuant to clause (i) of the

preceding sentence shall occur through a Securities Exchange on which Preferred Units are traded and

shall comply with the other provisions of this Agreement regarding transfers of Preferred Units. Pending

such transfer or redemption, with respect to such Record Holder of such Preferred Units, the Company

may, in its sole discretion, suspend the exercise of any voting or consent rights, any rights to receive

notice of or attend meetings of the Members and any rights to receive distributions in respect of such

Preferred Units. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.9 shall not apply to the Brookfield Member or

its permitted transferees.

Section 3.10[Reserved].

Section 3.11[Reserved].

Section 3.12[Reserved].

Section 3.13Redemption of Preferred Units. Any redemption of Preferred Units by the

Company permitted under Article III shall be conducted in accordance with this Section 3.13.

(a)The Company shall, not later than 30 days before the date fixed for redemption,

give notice of redemption to the Member at its last address designated on the records of the Company or

the Transfer Agent, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or overnight courier of national

reputation. The notice shall be deemed to have been given when so mailed. The notice shall specify the

Redeemable Preferred Units, the date fixed for redemption, the place of payment, that payment of the

redemption price will be made upon the redemption of the Redeemable Preferred Units (or, if later in the

case of Redeemable Preferred Units evidenced by Certificates, upon surrender of the Certificates

evidencing such Redeemable Preferred Units) and that on and after the date fixed for redemption no

further allocations or distributions to which the Member would otherwise be entitled in respect of the

Redeemable Preferred Units will accrue or be made.

(b)Except as may be provided by the Unit Designation applicable to any

Redeemable Preferred Units, the aggregate redemption price for Redeemable Preferred Units shall be an

amount equal to the Current Market Price (the date of determination of which shall be the date fixed for

redemption) of Preferred Units of the class to be so redeemed multiplied by the number of Preferred Units

of each such class included among the Redeemable Preferred Units, net of any costs or expenses incurred

by the Company in connection with such redemption. Subject to the Delaware Act, the redemption price

shall be paid, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, (i) in cash, (ii) by delivery of a

promissory note of the Company in the principal amount of the redemption price, bearing interest at the

rate of 8% annually and payable in three equal annual installments of principal together with accrued

interest, the first such installment commencing one year after the redemption date (or, if later in the case

of Redeemable Preferred Units evidenced by Certificates, upon surrender of the Certificates evidencing

such Redeemable Preferred Units) or (iii) a combination of cash and a promissory note having the terms

described in clause (ii).

19

(c)The Member or its duly authorized representative shall be entitled to receive the

payment for Redeemable Preferred Units at the place of payment specified in the notice of redemption (i)

in the case of uncertificated Redeemable Preferred Units, on the redemption date or (ii) in the case of

Redeemable Preferred Units evidenced by Certificates, upon surrender, on the redemption date or

thereafter, by or on behalf of the Member, of the Certificates evidencing the Redeemable Preferred Units,

duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by an assignment duly executed in blank.

(d)After the redemption date, Redeemable Preferred Units shall no longer constitute

Outstanding Units.

Capital Account shall be (a) increased in respect of any Common Units held by such Member, by (i) such

Capital Accounts as it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate to ensure allocations are made in

accordance with a Member’s interest in the Company. Interest shall not be payable on Capital Account

balances. The Company shall maintain the Capital Accounts of the Members in accordance with the

principles and requirements set forth in Section 704(b) of the Code and the United States Treasury

Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Capital Account of each Class B Holder shall at all times be

zero, except to the extent such Class B Holder also holds Units other than Class B Units.

Section 5.2Allocations.

(a)Subject to Section 2.6 of the Series A Preferred Unit Designation, and subject to

the express terms of any Unit Designation made after May 17, 2018 with respect to the Units whose terms

are established by such Unit Designation, Net Income (Loss) of the Company for each fiscal period shall

be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the Members that held Common Units in a manner that as

closely as possible gives economic effect to the manner in which distributions are or would be made to

the Members pursuant to the provisions of Sections 5.3 and 9.3.

(b)All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company shall be

allocated among the Members for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes consistent with the

manner that the corresponding constituent items of Net Income (Loss) shall be allocated among the

Members pursuant to this Agreement, except as may otherwise be provided herein or by the Code.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company in its sole discretion shall make such allocations for tax

purposes as may be needed to ensure that allocations are in accordance with the interests of the Members

in the Company, within the meaning of the Code and United States Treasury Regulations. The Company

shall determine all matters concerning allocations for tax purposes not expressly provided for herein in its

sole discretion. For the proper administration of the Company and for the preservation of uniformity of

Units (or any portion or class or classes thereof), the Company may (i) amend the provisions of this

Agreement as appropriate (x) to reflect the proposal or promulgation of United States Treasury

Regulations under Sections 704(b) or 704(c) of the Code or (y) otherwise to preserve or achieve

21

uniformity of Units (or any portion or class or classes thereof), and (ii) adopt and employ or modify such

conventions and methods as the Company determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate for (A) the

determination for tax purposes of items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit and the allocation of

such items among Members and between transferors and transferees under this Agreement and pursuant

to the Code and the United States Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, (B) the determination of

the identities and tax classification of Members, (C) the valuation of Company assets and the

this Article V, Section 2.6 of the Series A Preferred Unit Designation or a Unit Designation made after

May 17, 2018 shall instead be made to the beneficial owner of Units held by a nominee in any case in

which the nominee has furnished the identity of such owner to the Company in accordance with Section

6031(c) of the Code or any other method determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

Section 5.3Distributions to Record Holders.

(a)The Company may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time,

declare, make and pay distributions of cash or other assets to the Members. Subject to the terms of any

Unit Designation and to Section 3.5(d), distributions shall be paid to Members in accordance with their

respective Percentage Interests as of the Record Date selected by the Company. Notwithstanding anything

to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make or pay any distributions of cash

or other assets (i) with respect to the Class B Units except for distributions consisting only of additional

Class B Units made proportionally with respect to each outstanding Class B Unit and (ii) with respect to

any class or series of Preferred Units, except for distributions in accordance with the Unit Designation

relating to such class or series of Preferred Units.

the Company, all distributions shall be made in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions

of, Section 9.3.

(c)All amounts withheld with respect to any payment or other distribution by the

Company to the Members and paid over to any U.S. federal, state or local government or any non-U.S.

taxing authority shall be treated as amounts paid to the Members with respect to which such amounts

were withheld pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) or Section 9.3 for all purposes under this Agreement.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each distribution in

respect of any Unit shall be made by the Company, directly or through the Transfer Agent or through any

other Person, only to the Record Holder of such Unit as of the Record Date set for such distribution. Any

distribution in accordance with the foregoing shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the

Company’s liability in respect of such distribution, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have

an interest in such distribution by reason of an assignment or otherwise.

(e)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the

Company shall not be required to make a distribution to a Member if such distribution would violate the

Delaware Act or other applicable Law.

thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice other than announcement at the

meeting.

Section 6.13Committees. The Board of Directors may by resolution from time to time

designate one or more committees consisting of one or more Directors which, to the extent provided in

such resolution or resolutions, shall have and may exercise, subject to the provisions of this Agreement,

the powers and authority of the Board of Directors granted hereunder. Such committee or committees

shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the

Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall have the power to change the members of any such

committee at any time to fill vacancies, and to discharge any such committee, either with or without

cause, at any time.

Section 6.14Alternate Members of Committees. The Board of Directors may designate one or

more Directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified

member at any meeting of the committee, or if none be so appointed the member or members thereof

present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members or they

constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the

meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member.

Section 6.15Remuneration. Unless otherwise expressly provided by resolution adopted by the

Board of Directors, none of the Directors shall, as such, receive any stated remuneration for their service

as a Director. The Board of Directors may provide that the Company shall reimburse each Director for

any expenses paid by such Director on account of such Director’s attendance at any meeting. Nothing in

this Section 6.15 shall be construed to preclude any Director from serving the Company or any of its

Affiliates in any other capacity and receiving remuneration therefor.

Section 6.16Exculpation, Indemnification, Advances and Insurance.

26

(a)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, as the same now exists or may

hereafter be amended, supplemented or restated (but, in the case of any such amendment, supplement or

restatement, only to the extent that such amendment, supplement or restatement permits the Company to

provide broader rights than those set forth herein immediately prior thereto):

(i)none of the Brookfield Member, ExchangeCo or their respective

Affiliates shall have any liability to the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any Director, any

other Member or any holder of an equity interest in any Subsidiary of the Company, for any act or

omission, including any mistake of fact or error in judgment, taken, suffered or made; and

(ii)no Indemnified Person shall have any liability to the Company, any

Subsidiary of the Company, any Director, any Member or any holder of an equity interest in any

Subsidiary of the Company, for any act or omission, including any mistake of fact or error in judgment,

taken, suffered or made by such Indemnified Person, unless (A) if such Indemnified Person is a Director

or Officer, such act or omission constitutes a breach of the duties of such Director or Officer imposed

pursuant to Section 6.20(a) and (B) such act or omission is the result of willful malfeasance, gross

negligence, the commission of a felony or a material violation of applicable Law (including any federal or

state securities Law), in each case, that has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a

material adverse effect on the business or properties of the Company, or fraud.

The provisions of this Section 6.16(a) are intended and shall be interpreted as only limiting the liability of

a Person and not as in any way expanding such Person’s liability.

(b)The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person, to the

fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended,

supplemented or restated (but, in the case of any such amendment, supplement or restatement, only to the

extent that such amendment, supplement or restatement permits the Company to provide broader

indemnification rights than the Company is providing immediately prior thereto), against all expenses,

liabilities and losses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, judgments, fines, excise taxes or

penalties) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnified Person by reason of the fact that such

Person is or was an Indemnified Person or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an officer,

director, member, manager, partner, fiduciary, authorized signatory or trustee of another Person

(including any Group Member), except to the extent it shall have been determined in a final non-

appealable judgment by a court or arbitral panel of competent jurisdiction that such expenses, liabilities or

losses arose primarily from acts or omissions that (A) if such Indemnified Person is a Director or Officer,

constitute a breach of the duties of such Director or Officer imposed pursuant to Section 6.20(a) and (B)

are the result of willful malfeasance, gross negligence, the commission of a felony or a material violation

of applicable Law (including any federal or state securities Law), in each case, that has resulted in, or

could reasonably be expected to result in, a material adverse effect on the business or properties of the

Company, or fraud.

(c)The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent they limit or eliminate the duties

and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, including Section 6.20, are

agreed by each Member to modify such duties and liabilities of the Indemnified Person to the extent

permitted by Law.

(d)To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, expenses (including reasonable

attorneys’ fees and expenses) actually and reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any

civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in

27

advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, including any appeal therefrom, upon

receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall

ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company

as authorized in this Section 6.16.

(e)The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted

pursuant to this Section 6.16 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking

indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under this Agreement or any other

agreement, vote of Members or disinterested Directors or otherwise, and shall continue as to an

Indemnified Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,

successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnified Person unless otherwise provided in a written

agreement with such Indemnified Person or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnified Person is

indemnified. The provisions of this Section 6.16 shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of

any Person who is not specified in Section 6.16(b) but whom the Company has the power or obligation to

indemnify under the provisions of the Delaware Act. Without limiting any of the foregoing, (i) nothing in

this Agreement may limit or restrict the rights that any Indemnified Person is entitled to under any

indemnification agreements entered into with the Company or its Affiliates; and (ii) to the extent that the

Seventh Amended Agreement permits or requires the Company to provide broader indemnification rights

in favor of any Indemnified Person than the Company is providing pursuant to this Agreement, Section

6.16 of the Seventh Amended Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, mutatis mutandis.

(f)The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain

insurance on behalf of any Indemnified Person against any liability asserted against such Indemnified

Person and incurred by such Indemnified Person in any capacity in which such Indemnified Person is

entitled to indemnification hereunder, or arising out of such Indemnified Person’s status as such, whether

or not the Company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such Indemnified Person

against such liability under the provisions of this Section 6.16.

(g)The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted

pursuant to, this Section 6.16 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, inure to the

benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any Person entitled to indemnification under this

Section 6.16.

(h)If this Section 6.16 or any portion of this Section 6.16 shall be invalidated on any

ground by a court or arbitral panel of competent jurisdiction, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify

each Indemnified Person as to expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in

settlement with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or

administrative, including a grand jury proceeding or action or suit brought by or in the right of the

Company, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 6.16 that shall not have

been invalidated.

(i)Each Indemnified Person may, in the performance of such Indemnified Person’s

duties, consult with legal counsel and accountants, and any act or omission by such Indemnified Person

on behalf of the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any investment held by the Company or

any Subsidiary of the Company in furtherance of the interests of the Company, any Subsidiary of the

Company or any investment held by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in good faith in

reliance upon, and in accordance with, the advice of such legal counsel or accountants will be full

justification for any such act or omission, and such Indemnified Person will be fully protected for such

28

acts and omissions, provided that such legal counsel or accountants were selected with reasonable care by

or on behalf of the Company or such Subsidiary.

(j)An Indemnified Person shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part

under this Section 6.16 because the Indemnified Person had an interest in the transaction with respect to

which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this

Agreement.

(k)Any liabilities which an Indemnified Person incurs as a result of authorized acts

taken on behalf of the Company (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation,

administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism

(whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service

penalties assessed by the U.S. Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding

mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise)

shall be treated as liabilities indemnifiable under this Section 6.16, to the maximum extent permitted by

Law

(l)A Director shall, in the performance of such Director’s duties, be fully protected

in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and on such information, opinions, reports or

statements presented to the Company by any of the Officers or employees of the Company or any other

Group Member, or committees of the Board of Directors, or by any other Person as to matters the

Director reasonably believes are within such Person’s professional or expert competence.

(m)Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.16 or any provision

hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of any

Indemnified Person under this Section 6.16 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 and provided such Person became an Indemnified Person hereunder prior to such amendment,

modification or repeal.

(n)The provisions of this Section 6.16 shall survive the termination of this

Agreement with respect to the acts and omissions of an Indemnified Person occurring prior to such

termination.

Section 6.17Certificate of Formation. The Certificate of Formation and amendments thereto

have been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as required by the Delaware Act, such

filings being hereby confirmed, ratified and approved in all respects. The Board of Directors shall use all

reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other certificates or documents that it determines to be

necessary or appropriate for the formation, continuation, qualification and operation of a limited liability

company in the State of Delaware or any other state in which the Company may elect to do business or

own property. To the extent that the Board of Directors determines such action to be necessary or

appropriate, the Company shall file amendments to and restatements of the Certificate of Formation and

do all things to maintain the Company as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of

Delaware or of any other state in which the Company may elect to do business or own property, and any

such Officer so directed shall be an “authorized person” of the Company within the meaning of the

Delaware Act for purposes of filing any such certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of

Delaware. The Company shall not be required, before or after filing, to deliver or mail a copy of the

Certificate of Formation, any qualification document or any amendment thereto to any Member.

29

Section 6.18Resolution of Conflicts of Interest; Standards of Conduct and Modification of

Duties.

(a)Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whenever an actual or

potential conflict of interest exists or arises between the Brookfield Member, one or more Directors or

their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, any Group Member or any Member other

than the Brookfield Member, on the other, any resolution or course of action by the Board of Directors or

its Affiliates in respect of such conflict of interest shall not constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of

the Board of Directors if the resolution or course of action in respect of such conflict of interest is (i)

approved or ratified by the vote of holders of Outstanding Voting Units representing a majority of the

total votes that may be cast by all Outstanding Voting Units that are held by disinterested parties, (ii) on

terms no less favorable to the Company, Group Member or Member other than the Brookfield Member,

as applicable, than those generally being, provided to or available from unrelated third parties, or (iii) fair

and reasonable to the Company taking into account the totality of the relationships between the parties

involved (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the

Company, Group Member or Member other than the Brookfield Member, as applicable). If the Board of

Directors determines that the resolution or course of action taken with respect to a conflict of interest

satisfies either of the standards set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, then it shall be presumed that, in

making its determination, the Board of Directors acted in good faith, and in any proceeding brought by

any Member or by or on behalf of such Member or any other Member challenging such determination, the

Person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall have the burden of overcoming such presumption.

(b)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any applicable

provision of Law or equity, whenever in this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or

otherwise the Board of Directors, the Company or an Affiliate of the Company is permitted or required to

make a decision in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or that it deems “necessary or appropriate” or

“necessary or advisable” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, then, to the fullest extent

permitted by Law, the Board of Directors, the Company or such Affiliate, as the case may be, may make

such decision in its sole discretion (regardless of whether there is a reference to “sole discretion” or

“discretion”), and shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its

own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation (fiduciary or otherwise) to give any consideration to

any interest of or factors affecting the Company or the Members, and shall not be subject to any other or

different standards imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby, under the

Delaware Act, the DGCL or under any other Law or in equity, but in all circumstances shall exercise such

discretion in good faith. Whenever in this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or

otherwise, the Board of Directors or the Company is permitted to or required to make a decision in its

“good faith,” then for purposes of this Agreement or otherwise, the Board of Directors or the Company,

as the case may be, shall be conclusively presumed to be acting in good faith if such Person or Persons

subjectively believe(s) that the decision made or not made is in or not opposed to the best interests of the

Company.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Board of

Directors and the Company shall have no duty or obligation, express or implied, to (i) sell or otherwise

dispose of any asset of the Oaktree Operating Group other than in the ordinary course of business or (ii)

permit any Group Member to use any facilities or assets of the Directors, except as may be provided in

contracts entered into from time to time specifically dealing with such use. Any determination by an

Affiliate of the Company to enter into such contracts shall be in such Person’s sole discretion.

30

(d)The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or otherwise

modify or eliminate the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of the Company or any other

Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such

other duties and liabilities of the Company or such other Indemnified Person.

(e)The Members expressly acknowledge that the Board of Directors is under no

obligation to consider the separate interests of the Members (including the tax consequences to Members)

in deciding whether to cause the Company to take (or decline to take) any actions, and that the Board of

Directors or any Director shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred

or benefits not derived by Members in connection with such decisions.

Section 6.19Officers.

(a)The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to appoint such

officers with such titles, authority and duties as determined by the Board of Directors. Such Persons so

designated by the Board of Directors shall be referred to as “Officers.” The Officers shall have the titles,

power, authority and duties as determined by the Board of Directors.

(b)Each Officer shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified or

until his or her earlier death, disability, resignation or removal. Any number of offices may be held by the

same Person.

(c)Any Officer may resign at any time upon written notice to the Company. Any

Officer, agent or employee of the Company may be removed by the Board of Directors with or without

cause at any time. The Board of Directors may delegate the power of removal as to Officers, agents and

employees who have not been appointed by the Board of Directors. Such removal shall be without

prejudice to a Person’s contract rights, if any, but the appointment of any Person as an Officer, agent or

employee of the Company shall not of itself create contract rights.

(d)The Board of Directors may from time to time delegate the powers or duties of

any Officer to any other Officers or agents, notwithstanding any provision hereof.

(e)Unless otherwise directed by the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer

or any other Officer of the Company shall have power to vote and otherwise act on behalf of the

Company, in person or by proxy, at any meeting of members of or with respect to any action of equity

holders of any other entity in which the Company may hold securities and otherwise to exercise any and

all rights and powers which the Company may possess by reason of its ownership of securities in such

other entities.

Section 6.20Duties of Officers and Directors.

(a)Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or required by the

Delaware Act, (i) the duties and obligations owed to the Company by the Officers and Directors shall be

the duty of care and duty of loyalty owed to a corporation organized under DGCL by its officers and

directors, respectively, and (ii) the duty of care and duty of loyalty owed to the Members by the Officers

and Directors shall be the same as the duty of care and duty of loyalty owed to the stockholders of a

corporation under the DGCL by its officers and directors, respectively.

(b)The Board of Directors shall have the right to exercise any of the powers granted

to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or

31

through the duly authorized Officers of the Company, and the Board of Directors shall not be responsible

for the misconduct or negligence on the part of any such Officer duly appointed or duly authorized by the

Board of Directors in good faith.

Section 6.21Reliance by Third Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

Agreement, any Person dealing with the Company shall be entitled to assume that the Board of Directors

and any Officer authorized by the Board of Directors to act on behalf of and in the name of the Company

has full power and authority to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the

Company and to enter into any authorized contracts on behalf of the Company, and such Person shall be

entitled to deal with the Board of Directors or any Officer as if it were the Company’s sole party in

interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Member hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by

Law, any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available against such Person to contest, negate

or disaffirm any action of the Board of Directors or any Officer in connection with any such dealing. In

no event shall any Person dealing with the Board of Directors or any Officer or their respective

representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to

inquire into the necessity or expediency of any act or action of the Board of Directors or any Officer or

their respective representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on

behalf of the Company by the Board of Directors or any Officer or their respective representatives shall

be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (a) at

the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement was in

full force and effect, (b) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was

duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Company and (c) such certificate,

document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of

this Agreement and is binding upon the Company.

Section 6.25Preferred Units. Nothing in this Article VI shall be deemed to limit the rights of

the holders of the Series A Preferred Units under Section 2.7 of the Series A Preferred Unit Designation

or of the holders of the Series B Preferred Units under Section 2.7 of the Series B Preferred Unit

Designation.

Section 6.26[Reserved].

Section 7.1Records and Accounting. The Board of Directors shall keep or cause to be kept at

the principal office of the Company appropriate books and records with respect to the Company’s

business, including all books and records necessary to provide to the Members any information required

time and from time to time, in each case as may be required or permitted under the Code or applicable

United States Treasury Regulations, and shall notify the Members of such change in the next regular

communication by the Company to the Members.

Section 7.3Reports.

(a)The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mail or make

available to each Record Holder of a Unit, as of a date selected by the Board of Directors, within 120 days

after the close of each fiscal year, an annual report containing financial statements of the Company for

such Fiscal Year, presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including a balance sheet and statements of

operations, equity and cash flows, such statements to be audited by a registered public accounting firm

selected by the Board of Directors, and such other financial information as the Company deems

appropriate.

(b)The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mail or make

available to each Record Holder of a Unit, as of a date selected by the Board of Directors, within 90 days

after the close of each Quarter except the last Quarter of each Fiscal Year, a report containing unaudited

financial statements of the Company and such other information as may be required by applicable Law or

rule of any Securities Exchange on which any Units are listed for trading, or as the Board of Directors

determines to be necessary or appropriate.

(c)The Company shall be deemed to have made a report available to each Record

Holder of a Unit as required by this Section 7.3 if it has (i) made such report available on any publicly

available website maintained by or on behalf of the Company or (ii) filed such report with the SEC via its

Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (or any successor system) and such report is

publicly available on such system.

(d)The requirements set forth in this Section 7.3 shall cease to apply at such time as

ARTICLE VIII

TAX MATTERS

Section 8.1Tax Returns and Information. The Company shall use its commercially

reasonable efforts to timely file all returns of the Company that are required for U.S. federal, state and

local income tax purposes on the basis of the accrual method and its Fiscal Year. The Company may, in

its sole discretion, furnish to Members estimates of all necessary tax information prior to the availability

of definitive tax information; provided, that each Member hereby agrees that there can be no assurance

that such definitive information will be the same as such estimates, and that the Company shall not be

liable to any Member or to any other Person for any information contained in any such estimates or for

any differences between such estimates and such definitive information. The classification, realization

33

and recognition of income, gain, losses and deductions and other items shall be on the accrual method of

accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Section 8.2Tax Elections. The Board of Directors shall make or refrain from making the

election provided for in Section 754 of the Code and any and all other elections permitted by the tax laws

of the United States, the several states and other relevant jurisdictions as determined in its reasonable

discretion.

Section 8.3Tax Controversies. For taxable periods ending on or before December 31, 2017,

the Board of Directors shall designate one Member as the Tax Matters Partner. The initial Tax Matters

Partner shall be the Brookfield Member. For taxable periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, the

Board of Directors shall appoint the Partnership Representative. The initial Partnership Representative

shall be the Brookfield Member. The Tax Matters Partner, or Partnership Representative, as applicable, is

authorized 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. Each Member agrees

to cooperate with the Tax Matters Partner, or Partnership Representative, as applicable, and to do or

refrain from doing any or all things reasonably required by the Tax Matters Partner, or Partnership

Representative, as applicable, to conduct such proceedings.

Section 8.4Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the

Company is authorized to take any action that may be necessary or appropriate to, or cause the Company

any other U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. Law including pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445

and 1446 of the Code. To the extent that the Company is required or elects to withhold and pay over to

any taxing authority any amount resulting from the allocation or distribution of income to any Member

(including by reason of Section 1446 of the Code), the Board of Directors may treat the amount withheld

as a distribution of cash pursuant to Section 5.3, Section 2.2 of the Series A Preferred Unit Designation,

the provisions of any other Unit Designation relating to distributions with respect to the Units established

by such Unit Designation or Section 9.3 in the amount of such withholding from such Member.

Section 8.5Election to be Treated as a Corporation. If the Board of Directors determines in

its sole discretion that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company to continue as a partnership for

U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Board of Directors may elect to treat the Company as an association

or as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal (and applicable state) income

tax purposes. In the event that the Board of Directors determines that the Company should seek relief

pursuant to Section 7704(e) of the Code to preserve the status of the Company as a partnership for U.S.

federal (and applicable state) income tax purposes, the Company and each Member shall agree to

adjustments required by the tax authorities, and the Company shall pay such amounts as required by the

tax authorities, to preserve the status of the Company as a partnership.

ARTICLE IX

DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

Section 9.1Dissolution. The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substitute

Members or Additional Members (who shall be admitted only in accordance with the terms of this

Agreement on any such admission). The Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up:

34

(a)upon an election to dissolve the Company by the Board of Directors that is

approved by the Brookfield Member;

(b)upon the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company pursuant to the

provisions of the Delaware Act; or

(c)at any time when there are no Members of the Company, unless the business of

the Company is continued in accordance with the Delaware Act.

Section 9.2Liquidator. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Board of Directors shall select

one or more Persons (which may be the Board of Directors or a Member) to act as Liquidator. The

Liquidator (if other than the Board of Directors) shall be entitled to receive such compensation for its

services as may be approved by holders of Units representing a majority of the voting power of all

Outstanding Voting Units. The Liquidator (if other than the Board of Directors) shall agree not to resign

at any time without 15 days’ prior notice and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by

notice of removal approved by holders of Units representing a majority of the voting power of all

Outstanding Voting Units. Upon dissolution, death, incapacity, removal or resignation of the Liquidator, a

successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all rights, powers and duties of the

original Liquidator) shall within 30 days thereafter be approved by holders of Units representing a

majority of the voting power of all Outstanding Voting Units. The right to approve a successor or

substitute Liquidator in the manner provided herein shall be deemed to refer also to any such successor or

substitute Liquidator approved in the manner herein provided. Except as expressly provided in this Article

IX, the Liquidator approved in the manner provided herein shall have and may exercise, without further

authorization or consent of any of the parties hereto, all of the powers conferred upon the Board of

Directors under the terms of this Agreement (but subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual

and otherwise, upon the exercise of such powers) necessary or appropriate to carry out the duties and

functions of the Liquidator hereunder for and during the period of time required to complete the winding

up and liquidation of the Company as provided for herein.

Section 9.3Liquidation. The Liquidator shall proceed to dispose of the assets of the

Company, discharge its liabilities and otherwise wind up its affairs in such manner and over such period

as determined by the Liquidator, subject to Section 18-804 of the Delaware Act and the following:

(a)Subject to Section 9.3(c), the assets may be disposed of by public or private sale

or by distribution in kind to one or more Members on such terms as the Liquidator may determine. The

Liquidator may distribute the Company’s assets, in whole or in part, in kind if it determines that a sale

would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Members. Notwithstanding anything to the

contrary contained in this Agreement, the Members understand and acknowledge that a Member may be

compelled to accept a distribution of any asset in kind from the Company despite the fact that the

percentage of the asset distributed to such Member exceeds the percentage of that asset which is equal to

the percentage in which such Member shares in distributions from the Company. If any property is

distributed in kind, the Member receiving the property shall be deemed for purposes of Section 9.3(c) to

have received cash equal to its fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors or the

Liquidator in its sole discretion, and contemporaneously therewith appropriate cash distributions must be

made to the other Members. The Liquidator may defer liquidation or distribution of the Company’s assets

for a reasonable period of time if it determines that an immediate sale or distribution of all or some of the

Company’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Members.

35

(b)Liabilities of the Company include amounts owed to the Liquidator as

compensation for serving in such capacity (subject to the terms of Section 9.2) and amounts owed to

Members otherwise than in respect of their distribution rights under Article V. With respect to any

liability that is contingent, conditional or unmatured or is otherwise not yet due and payable, the

Liquidator shall either settle such claim for such amount as it deems appropriate or establish a reserve of

cash or other assets to provide for its payment.

(c)Subject to the terms of any Unit Designation, all property and all cash in excess

of that required to discharge liabilities as provided in Section 9.3(b) shall be distributed to the Members

AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT

Section 10.1General. Except as provided in Section 10.3, the Board of Directors may amend

any of the terms of this Agreement, but only in compliance with the terms, conditions and procedures set

forth in this Section 10.1. Amendments to this Agreement (including any Unit Designation) may be

proposed only by or with the consent of the Board of Directors. If an amendment to any provision of this

Agreement other than pursuant to Section 10.3 has been proposed by or with the consent of the Board of

Directors, then the Board of Directors shall first adopt a resolution setting forth the amendment proposed,

declaring its advisability, and then (a) call a meeting of the Members entitled to vote in respect thereof for

the consideration of such amendment or (b) seek the written consent of such Members. Such meeting

shall be called and held upon notice in accordance with Article XII of this Agreement. The notice shall set

forth such amendment in full or a brief summary of the changes to be effected thereby, as the Board of

Directors shall deem advisable. At the meeting, a vote of Members entitled to vote thereon shall be taken

for and against the proposed amendment. A proposed amendment shall be effective upon its approval by

holders of Units representing a majority of the voting power of all Outstanding Voting Units, unless a

greater percentage is required under this Agreement or by the Delaware Act, but in all cases must include

the approval of the Brookfield Member.

Section 10.2[Reserved].

36

Section 10.3Amendments to be Adopted Solely by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding

Section 10.1, each Member agrees that the Board of Directors, without the approval of any Member or

any other Person, may amend any provision of this Agreement, and execute, swear to, acknowledge,

deliver, file and record whatever documents may be required in connection therewith, to reflect:

(a)a change in the name of the Company, the location of the principal place of

business of the Company, the registered agent of the Company or the registered office of the Company;

(b)the admission, substitution, resignation or removal of Members in respect of their

Preferred Units in accordance with this Agreement;

(c)a change that the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion to be

necessary or appropriate to qualify or continue the qualification of the Company as a limited liability

company under the laws of any state or to ensure that the Oaktree Operating Group Members will not be

treated as associations taxable as corporations or otherwise taxed as corporations for U.S. federal income

tax purposes;

(d)a change that the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion to be

necessary or appropriate to address changes in U.S. federal income tax regulations, legislation or

interpretation;

(e)a change that the Board of Directors in its sole discretion determines to be

necessary, desirable or appropriate to facilitate the trading of Preferred Units (including the division of

any class or classes or series of Outstanding Preferred Units into different classes or series to facilitate

uniformity of tax consequences within such classes or series of Units) or comply with any rule,

regulation, guideline or requirement of any Securities Exchange on which Preferred Units are listed for

trading;

(f)a change in the Fiscal Year or taxable year of the Company and any other

changes that the Board of Directors determines to be necessary, desirable or appropriate as a result of a

change in the Fiscal Year or taxable year of the Company; or

(g)an amendment that the Board of Directors determines, based on advice of

counsel, to be necessary or appropriate to prevent the Company or its Directors, Officers, trustees or

agents from having a material risk of being in any manner subjected to the provisions of the Investment

Company Act or the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or Title I of ERISA, Section 4975 of

the Code or any applicable Similar Law currently applied or proposed.

Section 10.4Amendments to the Terms of Preferred Units. Notwithstanding anything to the

contrary, the holders of a class or series of Preferred Units shall have no voting, approval or consent rights

under this Article X, except as may be specified in the Unit Designation related to such class or series of

Preferred Units. Except as may be provided in the Unit Designation related to a class or series of

Preferred Units, the issuance by the Company of securities having rights superior to those of a class or

series of Outstanding Preferred Units or Units having a dilutive effect on a class or series of Outstanding

Preferred Units shall not be deemed to have a material adverse effect on the rights or preferences of such

class or series of Preferred Units.

whatsoever to the Company, any Member or any other Person bound by this Agreement and, in declining

to consent to a merger, consolidation, conversion or other business combination, shall not be required to

act pursuant to any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby

or under the Delaware Act or any other Law or at equity. If the Board of Directors shall determine, in the

exercise of its sole discretion, to consent to the merger, consolidation or other business combination, the

interests, securities or rights, and (ii) in the case of securities represented by certificates, upon the

surrender of such certificates, which cash, property or interests in or rights, securities or obligations of the

Surviving Business Entity or any general or limited partnership, corporation, trust, limited liability

company, unincorporated business or other entity (other than the Surviving Business Entity), or evidences

thereof, are to be delivered;

38

(e)a statement of any changes in the constituent documents or the adoption of new

document) of the Surviving Business Entity to be effected by such merger, consolidation, conversion or

other business combination;

(f)the effective time of the merger, consolidation, conversion or other business

combination, which may be the date of the filing of the certificate of merger or consolidation or similar

certificate pursuant to Section 11.4 or a later date specified in or determinable in accordance with the

Subsequent Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion; provided, that if the effective time of such

transaction is to be later than the date of the filing of such certificate, the effective time shall be fixed at a

date or time certain at or prior to the time of the filing of such certificate and stated therein; and

(g)such other provisions with respect to the proposed merger, consolidation,

conversion or other business combination that the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion to

be necessary or appropriate.

Section 11.3Approval by Members of Merger, Consolidation, Conversion or Other Business

Combination.

(a)Except as provided in Section 11.3(d), the Board of Directors, upon its approval

of the Subsequent Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion, shall direct that the Subsequent Merger

Agreement or Plan of Conversion, as applicable, and the merger, consolidation, conversion or other

business combination contemplated thereby be submitted to a vote of the Members, whether at an annual

meeting or special meeting, in either case in accordance with the requirements of Article XII. A copy or a

summary of the Subsequent Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion shall be included in or enclosed

with the notice of meeting.

(b)Except as provided in Section 11.3(d), the Subsequent Merger Agreement or Plan

of Conversion and the merger, consolidation, conversion or other business combination contemplated

thereby shall be approved upon receiving the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting

power of Outstanding Voting Units.

(c)Except as provided in Section 11.3(d), after such approval by vote of the

Members, and at any time prior to the filing of the certificate of merger, consolidation, conversion or

similar certificate pursuant to Section 11.4, the merger, consolidation, conversion or other business

combination may be abandoned pursuant to provisions therefor, if any, set forth in the Subsequent Merger

Agreement, or the Plan of Conversion, as the case may be.

(d)Members are not entitled to dissenters’ rights of appraisal in the event of a

by the Board of Directors and the Members of a Subsequent Merger Agreement or Plan of Conversion

and the merger, consolidation, conversion or business combination contemplated thereby, a certificate of

merger, conversion or consolidation or similar certificate shall be executed and filed with the Secretary of

State of the State of Delaware and any other applicable Governmental Entity in conformity with the

requirements of the Delaware Act and other applicable Law.

39

Section 11.5Amendment of Operating Agreement. Pursuant to Section 18-209(f) of the

Delaware Act, an agreement of merger, consolidation or other business combination approved in

accordance with this Article XI may (a) effect any amendment to this Agreement or (b) effect the

adoption of a new operating agreement for a limited liability company if it is the Surviving Business

Entity.

Section 11.6Preferred Units. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, holders of a class or

series of Preferred Units shall have no voting, approval or consent rights under this Article XI, except as

may be specified in the Unit Designation related to such class or series of Preferred Units.

ARTICLE XII

MEMBER MEETINGS

Section 12.1Member Meetings.

(a)All acts of Members to be taken hereunder shall be taken in the manner provided

in this Article XII. Meetings of the Members holding any class or series of Units may be called only by a

majority of the Board of Directors, or with respect to holders of Voting Preferred Units (as defined in the

applicable Unit Designation), as provided in the Unit Designation relating to such Voting Preferred Units.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Class A Units and Class B Units shall constitute the same class for this

purpose. A meeting shall be held at a time and place determined by the Board of Directors in its sole

discretion on a date not less than 10 calendar days nor more than 60 calendar days after the mailing of

notice of the meeting.

(b)Except as otherwise provided by Article VI, all elections of Directors shall be by

written ballots. Unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Board of Directors, such requirement of a

written ballot may be satisfied by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission; provided, that any such

electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be

reasonably determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the Member or proxyholder.

(c)The Company shall not be required to have an annual meeting unless otherwise

required by applicable Law.

Section 12.2Notice of Meetings of Members. Notice, stating the place, day and hour of any

annual or special meeting of the Members, as determined by the Board of Directors, and (a) in the case of

a special meeting of the Members, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called or (b) in the

case of an annual meeting, those matters that the Board of Directors, at the time of giving the notice,

intends to present for action by the Members, shall be delivered by the Company not less than 10 calendar

days nor more than 60 calendar days before the date of the meeting, in a manner and otherwise in

accordance with Section 14.1, to each Record Holder who is entitled to vote at such meeting. Such further

notice shall be given as may be required by the Delaware Act. Only such business shall be conducted at a

meeting of Members as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Company’s notice of

meeting. Any previously scheduled meeting of the Members may be postponed, and any meeting of the

Members may be cancelled, by resolution of the Board of Directors upon public notice given prior to the

date previously scheduled for such meeting of the Members.

Section 12.3Record Date. For purposes of determining the Members entitled to notice of or to

vote at a meeting of the Members or to give approvals without a meeting as provided in Section 12.8, the

Board of Directors may set a Record Date, which shall not be less than 10 calendar days nor more than 60

40

calendar days before (a) the date of the meeting (unless such requirement conflicts with any rule,

regulation, guideline or requirement of any Securities Exchange on which the Units are listed for trading

or which otherwise apply to the Company, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of

such Securities Exchange shall govern) or (b) in the event that approvals are sought without a meeting,

the date by which Members are requested in writing by the Board of Directors to give such approvals. If

no Record Date is fixed by the Board of Directors, then (i) the Record Date for determining Members

entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members shall be at the close of business on the day

immediately preceding the day on which notice is given and (ii) the Record Date for determining the

Members entitled to give approvals without a meeting shall be the date the first written approval is

deposited with the Company in accordance with Section 12.8. A determination of Members of record

entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members shall apply to any adjournment or postponement

of the meeting; provided, that the Board of Directors may fix a new Record Date for the adjourned or

postponed meeting.

Section 12.4Adjournment. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of Members may be

adjourned from time to time by the affirmative vote of Members holding at least a majority of the voting

power of the Outstanding Units entitled to vote at such meeting represented either in person or by proxy,

but no other business may be transacted, except as provided in this Section 12.4. When a meeting is

adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting and a new Record

Date need not be fixed, if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the

adjournment is taken, unless such adjournment shall be for more than 45 days. At the adjourned meeting,

the Company may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the

adjournment is for more than 45 days or if a new Record Date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice

of the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with this Article XII.

Section 12.5Waiver of Notice; Approval of Meeting. The transactions of any meeting of

Members, however called and noticed, and whenever held, shall be as valid as if they had occurred at a

meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy.

Attendance of a Member at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting, except (a) when

the Member attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to

the transaction of any business at such meeting because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened,

and (b) that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to disapprove the consideration of matters

required to be included in the notice of the meeting, but not so included, if the disapproval is expressly

made at the meeting.

Section 12.6Quorum; Required Vote for Member Action.

(a)The Members holding a majority of the voting power of the Outstanding Units of

the class or classes or series for which a meeting has been called represented in person or by proxy shall

constitute a quorum at a meeting of the Members of such class or classes or series unless any such action

by the Members requires approval by Members holding a greater percentage of the voting power of such

Units or approval by a specific Member, in which case the quorum shall be such greater percentage or the

representation of such specific Member, as applicable; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, no

meeting of the Members shall be held without the Brookfield Member. For the avoidance of doubt, the

Class A Units and Class B Units shall not constitute separate classes for this purpose.

(b)At any meeting of the Members duly called and held in accordance with this

Agreement at which a quorum is present, the act of Members holding Outstanding Units that in the

aggregate represent a majority of the voting power of the Outstanding Units entitled to vote at such

41

meeting and which are present in person or by proxy at such meeting shall be deemed to constitute the act

of all Members, unless a greater or different percentage (or approval by a specific Member) is required

with respect to a matter under the Delaware Act, under the rules of any Securities Exchange on which the

Units are listed for trading, or under the provisions of this Agreement (except with respect to the election

of Directors, which is governed by Article VI), in which case the act of the Members holding Outstanding

Units that in the aggregate represent at least such greater or different percentage of the voting power or

the approval of such specific Member, as applicable, shall be required (except with respect to the election

of Directors, which is governed by Article VI). The Members present at a duly called or held meeting at

which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the

withdrawal of enough Members to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment)

is approved by the required percentage of the voting power of Outstanding Units specified in this

Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any matter which does not

otherwise require the vote of the Members, but which requires the approval of the Brookfield Member,

may be accomplished without a meeting of Members (but subject to obtaining the written consent of the

Brookfield Member, as required).

Section 12.7Conduct of a Meeting. The Board of Directors in its reasonable discretion shall

have full power and authority concerning the manner of conducting any meeting of the Members or

solicitation of approvals in writing, including the determination of Persons entitled to vote, the existence

of a quorum, the satisfaction of the requirements of this Article XII, the conduct of voting, the validity

and effect of any proxies and the determination of any controversies, votes or challenges arising in

connection with or during the meeting or voting. The Board of Directors shall designate a Person to serve

as chairman of any meeting and shall further designate a Person to take the minutes of any meeting. All

minutes shall be kept with the records of the Company maintained by the Board of Directors. The Board

of Directors may make such other regulations consistent with applicable Law and this Agreement as it

may deem advisable concerning the conduct of any meeting of the Members or solicitation of approvals

in writing, including regulations in regard to the appointment of proxies, the appointment and duties of

inspectors of votes and approvals, the submission and examination of proxies and other evidence of the

right to vote and the revocation of approvals, proxies and votes in writing.

Section 12.8Action Without a Meeting. Any action that may be taken at a meeting of

Members may be taken without a meeting, without a vote and without prior notice, if an approval in

writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by Members holding not less than the minimum

percentage of the voting power of the Outstanding Voting Units that would be necessary to authorize or

take such action at a meeting at which all the Members entitled to vote at such meeting were present and

voted (unless such provision conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any Securities

Exchange on which the Units or a class or series thereof are listed for trading or which otherwise apply to

the Company, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of such Securities Exchange

shall govern); provided, that in the case of any action that requires the approval of a specific Member,

such approval in writing shall include the approval of such specific Member. Reasonable notice of the

taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Members who would have been entitled to vote

on or approve such action and who have not approved in writing. The Board of Directors may specify that

a written ballot, if any, submitted to Members for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall

be returned to the Company within the time period, which shall be not less than 20 days, specified by the

Board of Directors in its sole discretion. If a ballot returned to the Company does not vote all of the Units

held by a Member, the Units held by such Member and not voted on such ballot shall be deemed to have

been voted in the same manner and in the same proportions as the voted Units. If approval of the taking of

any action by the Members is solicited by any Person other than by or on behalf of the Board of Directors,

the written approvals shall have no force and effect unless and until (a) they are deposited with the

42

Company in the care of the Secretary or another Officer designated by the Board of Directors, (b)

approvals sufficient to take the action proposed are dated as of a date not more than 90 days prior to the

date sufficient approvals are deposited with the Company, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to

the Company to the effect that the exercise of such right and the action proposed to be taken with respect

to any particular matter is permissible under the state statutes then governing the rights, duties and

liabilities of the Company and the Members. Nothing contained in this Section 12.8 shall be deemed to

require the Board of Directors to solicit all Members in connection with a matter approved by Members

holding the requisite percentage of the voting power of the Outstanding Voting Units and, if applicable,

by specific Members whose approval is required for such matter to be authorized or taken, acting by

written consent without a meeting.

Section 12.9Voting and Other Rights.

(a)Only those Record Holders of Units on the Record Date set pursuant to Section

12.3 shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, a meeting of Members or to act with respect to matters as

to which the holders of the Outstanding Voting Units have the right to vote or to act (including the giving

of approval in writing). All references in this Agreement to votes of, or other acts that may be taken by,

the holders of Outstanding Voting Units shall be deemed to be references to the votes or acts of the

Record Holders of such Outstanding Voting Units on such Record Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the

provisions of this Section 12.9 (as well as the other provisions of this Agreement) are subject to the

provisions of Section 3.4.

(b)With respect to Outstanding Voting Units that are held for a Person’s account by

another Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation, or an agent of any

of the foregoing), in whose name such Outstanding Voting Units are registered, such other Person shall,

in exercising the voting rights in respect of such Outstanding Voting Units on any matter, and unless the

arrangement between such Persons provides otherwise, vote such Outstanding Voting Units in favor of,

and at the direction of, the Person who is the beneficial owner, and the Company shall be entitled to

assume it is so acting without further inquiry.

Section 12.10Proxies and Voting.

(a)On any matter that is to be voted on by Members, the Members may vote in

person or by proxy, and such proxy may be granted in writing, by means of electronic transmission or as

otherwise permitted by applicable Law. Any such proxy shall be filed in accordance with the procedure

established for the meeting. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “electronic transmission” means

any form of communication not directly involving the physical transmission of paper that creates a record

that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof and that may be directly reproduced in

paper form by such a recipient through an automated process. Any copy, facsimile or other reliable

reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this paragraph may be substituted or used

in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or

transmission could be used; provided, that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete

reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

(b)The Company may, and to the extent required by applicable Law, shall, in

advance of any meeting of Members, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a

written report thereof. The Company may designate one or more alternate inspectors to replace any

inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of Members, the Person

presiding at the meeting may, and to the extent required by applicable Law, shall, appoint one or more

43

inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties,

shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and

according to the best of his or her ability. Every vote taken by ballot shall be counted by a duly appointed

inspector or inspectors.

(c)With respect to the use of proxies at any meeting of Members, the Company shall

be governed by paragraphs (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 212 of the DGCL and other applicable

provisions of the DGCL, as though the Company were a Delaware corporation and as though the

Members were stockholders of a Delaware corporation.

ARTICLE XIII

RIGHT TO ACQUIRE UNITS

Section 13.1Right to Acquire Units. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,

if at any time less than 10% of the total Preferred Units of any series then Outstanding are held by Persons

other than the Principals and Persons Controlled by the Principals, the Company shall then have the right,

which right it may assign and transfer in whole or in part to any Affiliate, exercisable in its sole

discretion, to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Preferred Units of such series then Outstanding

held by Persons other than the Principals and Persons Controlled by the Principals, at the greater of (a) the

Current Market Price as of the date three days prior to the date that the notice described in Section 13.2 is

mailed and (b) the highest price paid by the Company or any of its Affiliates for any Unit of such series or

class purchased during the 90-day period preceding the date that the notice described in Section 13.2 is

mailed. The Company shall cause the Oaktree Operating Group Members to satisfy, or to distribute cash

to the Company in amounts sufficient to enable the Company to satisfy, any obligations of the Company

in connection with purchases contemplated by this Section 13.1.

Section 13.2Notice of Election to Purchase. If the Company or any Affiliate elects to exercise

the right to purchase Preferred Units of any series granted pursuant to Section 13.1, the Company shall

deliver to the Transfer Agent notice of such election to purchase (the “Notice of Election to Purchase”)

and shall cause the Transfer Agent to send by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or overnight

courier of national reputation, a copy of such Notice of Election to Purchase to the Record Holders of

Units of such series or class (as of a Record Date selected by the Company) at least 10, but not more than

60, days prior to the date selected by the Company to purchase the Units (the “Purchase Date”). Such

Notice of Election to Purchase shall also be published for a period of at least three consecutive days in at

least two daily newspapers of general circulation printed in the English language and circulated in the

Borough of Manhattan, New York. The Notice of Election to Purchase shall specify the Purchase Date

and the price (determined in accordance with Section 13.1) at which Units will be purchased and state that

the Company or its Affiliate, as the case may be, elects to purchase such Units (in the case of Units

evidenced by Certificates, upon surrender of Certificates representing such Units) in exchange for

payment at such office or offices of the Transfer Agent as the Transfer Agent may specify or as may be

required by any Securities Exchange on which such Preferred Units are listed for trading. Any such

Notice of Election to Purchase mailed to a Record Holder of Units at its address as reflected on the

records of the Transfer Agent shall be conclusively presumed to have been given regardless of whether

the Record Holder receives such notice. On or prior to the Purchase Date, the Company or its Affiliate, as

the case may be, shall deposit with the Transfer Agent cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate

purchase price of all of such Units to be purchased in accordance with this Section 13.2. If the Notice of

Election to Purchase shall have been duly given as aforesaid at least 10 days prior to the Purchase Date,

and if on or prior to the Purchase Date the deposit described in the preceding sentence has been made for

44

the benefit of the holders of Units subject to purchase as provided herein, then from and after the

Purchase Date, notwithstanding that any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for purchase, all

rights of the holders of such Units (including any rights pursuant to Articles IV, V, VII, and XII) shall

thereupon cease, except the right to receive the purchase price (determined in accordance with Section

13.1) for Units therefor, without interest (in the case of Units evidenced by Certificates, upon surrender to

the Transfer Agent of the Certificates representing such Units) and such Units shall thereupon be deemed

to be transferred to the Company or its Affiliate, as the case may be, on the record books of the Transfer

Agent, and the Company or its Affiliate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be the owner of all such

Units from and after the Purchase Date and shall have all rights as the owner of such Units (including all

rights as owner of such Units pursuant to Articles IV, V, VII and XII).

ARTICLE XIV

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 14.1Addresses and Notices.

(a)Unless otherwise specified herein, any notice, demand, request, report or proxy

materials required or permitted to be given or made to a Member under this Agreement shall be in writing

mail or other means of written communication to the Member at the address described below. Any notice,

payment in the form of a check, demand, request, report or proxy materials to be given or made to a

Member in respect of any Units hereunder shall be deemed conclusively to have been given or made, and

the obligation to give such notice, demand, request, report or proxy materials or to make such payment

shall be deemed conclusively to have been fully satisfied, upon the sending of such notice, payment,

demand, request, report or proxy materials to the Record Holder of such Units at its address as shown on

the records of the Transfer Agent or as otherwise shown on the records of the Company, regardless of any

claim of any Person who may have an interest in such Units by reason of any assignment or otherwise.

(b)An affidavit or certificate of making of any notice, demand, request, report or

proxy materials in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.1 executed by the Company, the

Transfer Agent or the mailing organization shall be prima facie evidence of the giving or making of such

notice, demand, request, report or proxy materials. If any notice, demand, request, report or proxy

materials given or made in accordance with this Section 14.1 is returned marked to indicate that such

notice, demand, request, report or proxy materials was unable to be delivered, then such notice, demand,

request, report or proxy materials, and in the case of notice, demand, request, report or proxy materials

returned by the United States Postal Service or overnight courier of national reputation (or other physical

mail delivery service outside of the United States of America), any subsequent notice, demand, request,

report or proxy materials, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made without further mailing (until

Company or the Brookfield Member, as applicable, may commence the arbitration process by filing a

written demand for arbitration with JAMS and delivering a copy of such demand to the other party or

parties to the arbitration in accordance with the notice procedures set forth in Section 14.1. The arbitration

shall take place in Wilmington, Delaware, and shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of

selected shall be neutral and a former Delaware chancery court judge or, if such judge is not available, a

former U.S. federal judge with experience in adjudicating matters under the law of the State of Delaware;

14.13 to be enforceable, and all other costs of arbitration shall be shared equally between the parties to the

arbitration.

The arbitrator shall have no power to modify any of the provisions of this Agreement, to make an

award or impose a remedy that, in each case, is not available to the Delaware chancery court or to make

an award or impose a remedy that was not requested by a party to the dispute, and the jurisdiction of the

arbitrator is limited accordingly. To the extent permitted by law, the arbitrator shall have the power to

order injunctive relief, and shall expeditiously act on any petition for such relief.

The provisions of this Section 14.13 may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and,

to the extent permitted by law, the party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs,

fees and expenses incurred in enforcing this Section 14.13, including attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the

party against whom enforcement is ordered. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the

contrary, any party to an arbitration pursuant to this Section 14.13 shall be entitled to seek a restraining

order or injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent any violation of the provisions of this

Agreement pending a final determination on the merits by the arbitrator, and each party hereby consents

that such a restraining order or injunction may be granted without the necessity of posting any bond.

The details of any arbitration pursuant to this Section 14.13, including the existence or outcome

of such arbitration and any information obtained in connection with any such arbitration, shall be kept

strictly confidential and shall not be disclosed or discussed with any person not a party to the arbitration;

provided, that such party may make such disclosures as are required by applicable law or legal process;

provided, further, that such party may make such disclosures to its, his or her attorneys, accountants or

other agents and representatives who reasonably need to know the disclosed information in connection

with any arbitration pursuant to this Section 14.13 and who are obligated to keep such information

confidential to the same extent as such party. If a party to an arbitration receives a subpoena or other

request for information from a third party that seeks disclosure of any information that is required to be

47

kept confidential pursuant to the prior sentence, or otherwise believes that it, he or she may be required to

disclose any such information, such party shall (i) promptly notify the other party to the arbitration and

(ii) reasonably cooperate with such other party in taking any legal or otherwise appropriate actions,

including the seeking of a protective order, to prevent the disclosure, or otherwise protect the

confidentiality, of such information.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any arbitration pursuant to this Section 14.13 shall not include any

disputes, claims or controversies that do not arise out of or relate to this Agreement, and (ii) any

arbitration pursuant to this Section 14.13 of disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to

this Agreement is intended to be a separate and distinct proceeding from any arbitration or other

adjudication of disputes, claims or controversies between parties to this Agreement that do not arise out of

or relate to this Agreement.

Section 14.14Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are

cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by any party shall not preclude or waive its right to use

any or all other remedies. Said rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the parties

may have by Law.

Section 14.15No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure

solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assigns and successors and nothing herein,

express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity, any legal or equitable

right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement (other than

pursuant to Section 6.16 or Section 14.3 hereof).

Section 14.16Headings. The headings and subheadings in this Agreement are included for

convenience and identification only and are in no way intended to describe, interpret, define or limit the

scope, extent or intent of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 14.17Construction. The Company and the Brookfield Member each acknowledges and

agrees it has had the opportunity to draft, review and edit the language of this Agreement and that it is

their intent that no presumption for or against any party arising out of drafting all or any part of this

Agreement will be applied in any dispute involving them relating to, in connection with or involving this

Agreement. Accordingly, the Company and the Brookfield Member hereby waive to the fullest extent

permitted by law the benefit of any rule of Law or any legal decision that would require that in cases of

uncertainty, the language of a contract should be interpreted most strongly against the party who drafted

such language.

applies to all Members; provided, however, that when such term is used to only apply to Series A Holders,

“Percentage Interest” shall mean, with respect to any holder of Series A Preferred Units in its capacity as such as of

any date, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the number of Series A Preferred Units held by such holder on such

date relative to the aggregate number of Series A Preferred Units Outstanding as of such date. The Capital Account

balance of a Member with respect to each Series A Preferred Unit held by such Member shall equal the Liquidation

Preference per Series A Preferred Unit as of the date such Series A Preferred Unit is initially issued and shall be

increased as set forth in Section 2.6 of this Unit Designation.

Section 2.2 Distributions.

(a) The Series A Holders shall be entitled to receive with respect to each Series A Preferred Unit owned by

such holder, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, in its sole

discretion out of funds legally available therefor, non-cumulative quarterly cash distributions, on the applicable

Distribution Payment Date that corresponds to the Record Date for which the Board of Directors has declared a

distribution, if any, in an amount equal to the product of (i) 25% and (ii) the rate per annum equal to the Series A

Distribution Rate (subject to Section 2.5(b) of this Unit Designation) and (iii) the Series A Liquidation Preference.

Such distributions shall be non-cumulative. If a Distribution Payment Date is not a Business Day, the related

distribution (if declared) shall be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as though

paid on such Distribution Payment Date, without any increase to account for the period from such Distribution

Payment Date through the date of actual payment. Distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Units for any

period less than a full Distribution Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-

9

day months. Declared distributions will be payable on the relevant Distribution Payment Date to Series A Holders as

they appear on the Company’s register at the close of business, New York City time, on a Series A Record Date,

provided that if the Series A Record Date is not a Business Day, the declared distributions will be payable on the

relevant Distribution Payment Date to Series A Holders as they appear on the Company’s register at the close of

business, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding such Series A Record Date.

(b) So long as any Series A Preferred Units are Outstanding, unless, in each case, distributions have been

declared and paid or declared and set apart for payment on the Series A Preferred Units for a quarterly Distribution

Period, (i) no distribution, whether in cash or property, may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on the

Junior Units for the remainder of that quarterly Distribution Period and (ii) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall

not directly or indirectly repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for consideration any Junior Units other than, in

each case, any Permitted Distributions.

(c) The Board of Directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, may, in its sole discretion, choose to

pay distributions on the Series A Preferred Units without the payment of any distributions on any Junior Units.

(d) When distributions are not declared and paid (or duly provided for) on any Distribution Payment Date

(or, in the case of Parity Units having distribution payment dates different from the Distribution Payment Dates

pertaining to the Series A Preferred Units, on a distribution payment date falling within the related Distribution

Period) in full upon the Series A Preferred Units or any Parity Units, all distributions declared upon the Series A

Preferred Units and all such Parity Units payable on such Distribution Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Units

having distribution payment dates different from the Distribution Payment Dates, on a distribution payment date

falling within the related Distribution Period) shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such

distributions shall bear the same ratio to each other as all declared and unpaid distributions per Unit on the Series A

Preferred Units and all unpaid distributions, including any accumulations, on all Parity Units payable on such

Distribution Payment Date (or in the case of Parity Units having distribution payment dates different from the

Distribution Payment Dates pertaining to the Series A Preferred Units, on a distribution payment date falling within

the related Distribution Period) bear to each other.

(e) No distributions may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Series A Preferred Units if at

the same time any arrears exist or default exists in the payment of distributions on any Outstanding Units ranking, as

to the payment of distributions and distribution of assets upon a Dissolution Event, senior to the Series A Preferred

Units, subject to any applicable terms of such Outstanding Units.

(f) Series A Holders shall not be entitled to any distributions, whether payable in cash or property, other

than as provided in this Unit Designation and shall not be entitled to interest, or any sum in lieu of interest, in respect

of any distribution payment, including any such payment which is delayed or foregone.

(g) The Members intend that no portion of the distributions paid to the Series A Holders pursuant to this

Section 2.2 shall be treated as a “guaranteed payment” within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, and no

Member shall take any position inconsistent with such intention, except if there is a change in applicable law or final

determination by the Internal Revenue Service that is inconsistent with such intention.

Section 2.3 Rank. The Series A Preferred Units shall rank, with respect to payment of distributions and distribution

of assets upon a Dissolution Event:

(a) junior to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness and any equity securities, including

Preferred Units, that the Company may authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such securities shall rank

senior to the Series A Preferred Units with respect to payment of distributions and distribution of assets upon a

Dissolution Event;

(b) equally to any Parity Units; and

(c) senior to any Junior Units.

Section 2.4 Optional Redemption.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 2.5 of this Unit Designation, the Series A Preferred Units shall not be

redeemable prior to June 15, 2023. At any time or from time to time on or after June 15, 2023, subject to any

10

limitations that may be imposed by law, the Company may, in its sole discretion, redeem the Series A Preferred

Units, out of funds legally available therefor, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation

Preference per Series A Preferred Unit plus an amount equal to declared and unpaid distributions, if any, from the

Distribution Payment Date immediately preceding the redemption date to, but excluding, the redemption date. If less

than all of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the Company shall select the Series A

Preferred Units to be redeemed from the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units not previously called for redemption

by lot or pro rata (as nearly as possible) or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of The

Depository Trust Company (or its successor or replacement) and in compliance with the requirements of the

Securities Exchange on which the Series A Preferred Units are then listed, if then listed on a Securities Exchange.

(b) In the event the Company shall redeem any or all of the Series A Preferred Units in accordance with

Section 2.4(a) of this Unit Designation, the Company shall give notice of any such redemption to the Series A

Holders (which such notice may be delivered prior to June 15, 2023) not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to

the date fixed for such redemption. Failure to give notice to any Series A Holder shall not affect the validity of the

proceedings for the redemption of any Series A Preferred Units being redeemed.

(c) Notice having been given as herein provided and so long as funds legally available and sufficient to pay

the redemption price for all of the Series A Preferred Units called for redemption have been set aside for payment,

from and after the redemption date, such Series A Preferred Units called for redemption shall no longer be deemed

Outstanding, and all rights of the Series A Holders thereof under this Unit Designation, the Operating Agreement or

otherwise shall cease, except for the right to receive the redemption price, without interest.

(d) The Series A Holders shall have no right to require redemption of any Series A Preferred Units.

(e) Without limiting clause (c) of this Section 2.4, if the Company shall deposit, on or prior to any date

fixed for redemption of Series A Preferred Units (pursuant to notice delivered in accordance with Section 2.4(b)),

with any bank or trust company as a trust fund, funds sufficient to redeem the Series A Preferred Units called for

redemption, with irrevocable instructions and authority to such bank or trust company to pay on and after the date

fixed for redemption or such earlier date as the Company may determine, to the respective Series A Holders, the

redemption price thereof, then from and after the date of such deposit (although prior to the date fixed for

redemption) such Series A Preferred Units so called shall be deemed to be redeemed and such deposit shall be

deemed to constitute full payment of said Series A Preferred Units to the holders thereof and from and after the date

of such deposit said Series A Preferred Units shall no longer be deemed to be Outstanding, and the holders thereof

shall cease to be holders of Units with respect to such Series A Preferred Units, and shall have no rights with respect

thereto under this Unit Designation, the Operating Agreement or otherwise, except only the right to receive from

said bank or trust company, on the redemption date or such earlier date as the Company may determine, payment of

the redemption price of such Series A Preferred Units without interest.

Section 2.5 Change of Control Event Redemption; Series A Tax Event Redemption; Rating Agency Event

Redemption.

(a) If a Change of Control Event occurs prior to June 15, 2023, within 60 days of the occurrence of such

Change of Control Event, the Company may, in its sole discretion, redeem the Series A Preferred Units, in whole

but not in part, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to $25.25 per Series A Preferred

Unit plus an amount equal to any declared and unpaid distributions to, but excluding, the redemption date, without

payment of any undeclared distribution.

(b) If (i) a Change of Control Event occurs (whether before, on or after June 15, 2023) and (ii) the

Company does not give notice to the Series A Holders prior to the 31st day following the Change of Control Event

to redeem all the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, the Series A Distribution Rate shall increase by 5.00%,

beginning on the 31st day following the consummation of such Change of Control Event.

(c) In connection with any Change of Control and any particular reduction in the rating on a series of the

Oaktree Senior Notes (or, if no Oaktree Senior Notes are outstanding, a reduction in the Company’s long-term issuer

rating), the Company shall request from the Rating Agencies each such Rating Agency’s written confirmation

whether such reduction in the rating on each such series of Oaktree Senior Notes (or, if no Oaktree Senior Notes are

outstanding, the Company’s long-term issuer rating) was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance

11

comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the

applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of any Below Investment Grade Rating Event).

(d) If a Series A Tax Event occurs prior to June 15, 2023, within 60 days of the occurrence of such Series A

Tax Event, the Company may, in its sole discretion, redeem the Series A Preferred Units, in whole but not in part,

out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to $25.50 per Series A Preferred Unit, plus an

amount equal to any declared and unpaid distributions to, but excluding, the redemption date, without payment of

any undeclared distribution.

(e) If a Rating Agency Event occurs prior to June 15, 2023, within 60 days of the occurrence of such Rating

Agency Event, the Company may, in its sole discretion, redeem the Series A Preferred Units, in whole but not in

part, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to $25.50 per Series A Preferred Unit, plus

an amount equal to any declared and unpaid distributions to, but excluding, the redemption date, without payment of

any undeclared distribution.

(f) In the event the Company elects to redeem all of the Series A Preferred Units in accordance with

Section 2.5(a), Section 2.5(d) or Section 2.5(e) of this Unit Designation, the Company shall give notice of any such

redemption to the Series A Holders at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption. Notice of any

redemption, whether in connection with events described in Section 2.5(a), Section 2.5(d) or Section 2.5(e) of this

Unit Designation, may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the

Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion or

occurrence of the related events described in Section 2.5(a), Section 2.5(d) or Section 2.5(e) of this Unit

Designation; provided, however, that any notice subject to one or more conditions precedent shall specify a

redemption date no later than June 14, 2023. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more

conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed

until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice

may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or

by the redemption date so delayed; provided, however, that the redemption date, if such redemption is conditional,

shall not be delayed beyond June 14, 2023. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the

redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed

by another Person.

(g) The Series A Holders shall have no right to require redemption of any Series A Preferred Units pursuant

to this Section 2.5.

Section 2.6 Allocations. Before giving effect to the allocations set forth in Section 5.2 of the Operating Agreement,

Gross Ordinary Income for the Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated pro rata to the holders of Series A Preferred

Units in accordance with each holder’s Percentage Interest with respect to their Series A Preferred Units in an

amount equal to the sum of (i) the amount of cash distributed with respect to the Series A Preferred Units pursuant

to Section 2.2 of this Unit Designation during such Fiscal Year and (ii) the excess, if any, of the amount of cash

distributed with respect to the Series A Preferred Units pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Unit Designation in all prior

Fiscal Years over the amount of Gross Ordinary Income allocated to the Series A Holders pursuant to this

Section 2.6 in all prior Fiscal Years. To the extent that there is insufficient Gross Ordinary Income for a Fiscal Year

to allocate to the Series A Holders pursuant to the prior sentence and to the holders of any other Parity Units, Gross

Ordinary Income shall be allocated to the Series A Holders and holders of Parity Units for such Fiscal Year on a pro

rata basis based on the amount of distributions paid in respect of the Series A Preferred Units and such Parity Units,

respectively, in such Fiscal Year.

Section 2.7 Voting.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision in the Operating Agreement to the contrary, and except as set forth in

this Section 2.7, the Series A Preferred Units shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other voting,

consent or approval rights or powers, and the vote, consent or approval of the Series A Holders shall not be required

for the taking of any Company action or inaction. Notwithstanding any provision in the Operating Agreement to the

contrary, if and whenever six quarterly distributions (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Series A Preferred

Units have not been declared and paid (a “Nonpayment”), the number of Directors then constituting the Board of

12

Directors automatically shall be increased by two and the Series A Holders, voting together as a single class with the

holders of any other class or series of Parity Units then Outstanding upon which like voting rights have been

conferred and are exercisable (any such other class or series, “Voting Preferred Units”), shall have the right to elect

these two additional Directors at a meeting of the Series A Holders and the holders of such Voting Preferred Units

called as hereafter provided. When quarterly distributions have been declared and paid on the Series A Preferred

Units for four consecutive Distribution Periods following the Nonpayment, then the right of the Series A Holders

and the holders of such Voting Preferred Units to elect such two additional Directors shall cease and the terms of

office of all directors elected by the Series A Holders and holders of the Voting Preferred Units shall forthwith

terminate immediately and the number of Directors constituting the whole Board of Directors automatically shall be

reduced by two and, for purposes of determining whether a Nonpayment has occurred, the number of quarterly

distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Units that have not been declared and paid shall be reset to zero.

However, the right of the Series A Holders and the holders of the Voting Preferred Units to elect two additional

directors on the Board of Directors shall again vest if and whenever another Nonpayment occurs.

(b) If a Nonpayment or a subsequent Nonpayment shall have occurred, the Company may, and upon the

written request of any holder of Series A Preferred Units (addressed to the Company) shall, call a special meeting of

the Series A Holders and holders of the Voting Preferred Units for the election of the two Directors to be elected by

them. The Directors elected at any such special meeting shall hold office until the next annual meeting or special

meeting held in lieu thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as above provided. The Company

shall, in its sole discretion, determine a date for a special meeting applying procedures consistent with Article XII of

the Operating Agreement in connection with the expiration of the term of the two Directors elected pursuant to this

Section 2.7. The Series A Holders and holders of the Voting Preferred Units, voting together as a class, may remove

any director elected by the Series A Holders and holders of the Voting Preferred Units pursuant to this Section 2.7.

If any vacancy shall occur among the Directors elected by the Series A Holders and holders of the Voting Preferred

Units, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining Director

elected by the Series A Holders and holders of the Voting Preferred Units or the successor of such remaining

Director, to serve until the next special meeting (convened as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence) held

in place thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as above provided. Except to the extent expressly

provided otherwise in this Section 2.7, any such annual or special meeting shall be called and held applying

procedures consistent with Article XII of the Operating Agreement as if references to Members were references to

Series A Holders and holders of Voting Preferred Units.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article XI or Article XII of the Operating Agreement, but

subject to Section 2.7(d) of this Unit Designation, so long as any Series A Preferred Units are Outstanding, the

affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the Series A Holders and holders of the Voting

Preferred Units, at the time Outstanding, voting as a single class regardless of series, given in person or by proxy,

either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary:

(i) to amend, alter or repeal any of the provisions of the Operating Agreement relating to the Series

A Preferred Units or any series of Voting Preferred Units, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise,

to affect materially and adversely the rights, powers and preferences of the Series A Holders or holders of

the Voting Preferred Units; and

(ii) to authorize, create or increase the authorized amount of, any class or series of Preferred Units

having rights senior to the Series A Preferred Units with respect to the payment of distributions or amounts

upon any Dissolution Event; provided, however, that,

(A) in the case of subparagraph (i) above, no such vote of the Series A Preferred Units or

the Voting Preferred Units, as the case may be, shall be required if in connection with any such

amendment, alteration or repeal, by merger, consolidation or otherwise, each Series A Preferred

Unit and Voting Preferred Units remains Outstanding without the terms thereof being materially

changed in any respect adverse to the holders thereof or is converted into or exchanged for

preferred equity securities of the surviving entity having preferences, other rights, voting powers,

restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption

thereof substantially similar to those of such Series A Preferred Units or the Voting Preferred

Units, as the case may be;

13

(B) in the case of subparagraph (i) above, if such amendment affects materially and

adversely the rights, preferences, privileges or powers of one or more but not all of the classes or

series of Voting Preferred Units and the Series A Preferred Units at the time Outstanding, the

affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all such

classes or series of Voting Preferred Units and the Series A Preferred Units so affected, voting as a

single class regardless of class or series, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a

meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be required in lieu of (or, if such

consent is required by law, in addition to) the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes

entitled to be cast by the Voting Preferred Units and the Series A Preferred Units otherwise

entitled to vote as a single class in accordance herewith; and

(C) in the case of subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, no such vote of the Series A Holders or

holders of the Voting Preferred Units, as the case may be, shall be required if, at or prior to the

time when such action is to take effect, provision is made for the redemption of all Series A

Preferred Units or Voting Preferred Units, as the case may be, at the time Outstanding or proper

notice of redemption of the Series A Preferred Units or Voting Preferred Units, as the case may be,

at the time Outstanding has been given and funds sufficient to pay the redemption price for all of

the Series A Preferred Units or Voting Preferred Units, as the case may be, have been set aside for

payment pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement.

(d) For the purposes of this Section 2.7, neither:

(i) the amendment of provisions of the Operating Agreement so as to authorize or create or issue,

or to increase the authorized amount of, any Junior Units or any Parity Units; nor

(ii) any merger, consolidation or otherwise, in which (1) the Company is the surviving entity and

the Series A Preferred Units remain Outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged in any respect

adverse to the holders thereof; or (2) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is organized under the laws

of any state and substitutes or exchanges the Series A Preferred Units for other preferred equity securities

having rights, powers and preferences (including with respect to redemption thereof) substantially similar

to that of the Series A Preferred Units under this Unit Designation (except for changes that do not

materially and adversely affect the Series A Preferred Units considered as a whole)

shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the rights, powers and preferences of the Series A Preferred Units

or holders of Voting Preferred Units.

(e) For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, each Series A Holder shall have one vote

per Series A Preferred Unit, except that when any other series of Preferred Units shall have the right to vote with the

Series A Preferred Units as a single class on any matter, then the Series A Holders and the holders of such other

series of Preferred Units shall have with respect to such matters one vote per $25.00 of stated liquidation preference.

(f) The Board of Directors may cause the Company to, from time to time, without notice to or consent of

the Series A Holders or holders of other Parity Units, issue additional Series A Preferred Units or other Parity Units.

(g) The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7 will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with

respect to which a vote pursuant to this Section 2.7 would otherwise be required shall be effected, the Series A

Preferred Units shall have been redeemed or proper notice of redemption of the Series A Preferred Units has been

given and funds sufficient to pay the redemption price for all of the Series A Preferred Units have been set aside for

payment pursuant to the terms of this Unit Designation.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 2.7, if at any time any Person or Group (other than

any member of the Oaktree Group) is the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the Outstanding Series A Preferred

Units, all Series A Preferred Units owned by such Person or Group shall not be entitled to be voted on any matter

and shall not be considered to be Outstanding when sending notices of a meeting of Members to vote on any matter

(unless otherwise required by Applicable Law), calculating required votes, determining the presence of a quorum or

for other similar purposes under this Unit Designation and the Operating Agreement; provided, that the foregoing

limitation shall not apply: (i) to any Person or Group who acquired 20% or more of the Series A Preferred Units then

Outstanding directly from any member of the Oaktree Group; (ii) to any Person or Group who acquired 20% or

14

more of the Series A Preferred Units then Outstanding directly or indirectly from a Person or Group described in

clause (i) provided that the Board of Directors shall have notified such Person or Group in writing that such

limitation shall not apply; or (iii) to any Person or Group who acquired 20% or more of the Series A Preferred Units

with the prior written approval of the Board of Directors, which approval may be withheld in the Board of Directors’

sole discretion.

(i) So long as any Series A Preferred Units are Outstanding and only in the event of a Nonpayment, the

Manager hereby irrevocably (i) agrees that from time to time, automatically and without further action by the

Manager, the size of the Board of Directors shall be increased by two and that the corresponding vacancies be filled,

as provided by this Section 2.7, and that from time to time directors be removed and the size of the Board of

Directors correspondingly decreased, as provided by this Section 2.7, and (ii) delegates to such Members as

expressly provided in this Section 2.7 the filling of such vacancies and election of such directors from time to time.

Section 2.8 Liquidation Rights.

(a) Upon any Dissolution Event, after payment or provision for the liabilities of the Company (including

the expenses of such Dissolution Event) and the satisfaction of all claims ranking senior to the Series A Preferred

Units in accordance with Section 9.3 of the Operating Agreement, the Series A Holders shall be entitled to receive

out of the assets of the Company or proceeds thereof available for distribution to Members, before any payment or

distribution of assets is made in respect of Junior Units, distributions equal to the lesser of (x) the Series A

Liquidation Value and (y) the positive balance in their Capital Accounts (to the extent such positive balance is

attributable to ownership of the Series A Preferred Units and after taking into account allocations of Gross Ordinary

Income to the Series A Holders pursuant to Section 2.6 of this Unit Designation for the taxable year in which the

Dissolution Event occurs) pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Operating Agreement, pro rata based on the full respective

distributable amounts to which each Series A Holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 2.8(a).

(b) Upon a Dissolution Event, after each Series A Holder receives a payment equal to the positive balance

in its Capital Account (to the extent such positive balance is attributable to ownership of the Series A Preferred

Units and after taking into account allocations of Gross Ordinary Income to the Series A Holders pursuant to

Section 2.6 for the taxable year in which the Dissolution Event occurs), such Series A Holder shall not be entitled to

any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Company.

(c) If the assets of the Company available for distribution upon a Dissolution Event are insufficient to pay

in full the aggregate amount payable to the Series A Holders and the holders of all other Outstanding Parity Units, if

any, such assets shall be distributed to the Series A Holders and the holders of such Parity Units pro rata, based on

the full respective distributable amounts to which each such Member is entitled pursuant to this Section 2.8.

(d) Nothing in this Section 2.8 shall be understood to entitle the Series A Holders to be paid any amount

upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event until holders of any classes or series of Units ranking, as to the

distribution of assets upon a Dissolution Event, senior to the Series A Preferred Units have been paid all amounts to

which such classes or series of Units are entitled.

(e) For the purposes of this Unit Designation, neither the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer, for cash,

Units, securities or other consideration, of all or substantially all of the Company’s property or assets nor the

consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Company with or into any other entity or the consolidation, merger or

amalgamation of any other entity with or into the Company shall be deemed to be a Dissolution Event,

notwithstanding that for other purposes, such as for tax purposes, such an event may constitute a liquidation,

dissolution or winding up. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.8, no payment will

be made to the Series A Holders pursuant to this Section 2.8 (i) upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation,

dissolution or winding up of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or upon any reorganization of the Company

pursuant to Article XI of the Operating Agreement, with or without approval of the Members (including a

transaction pursuant to Section 11.3 of the Operating Agreement) or (ii) if the Company engages in a reorganization

or other transaction in which a successor to the Company issues equity securities to the Series A Holders that have

rights, powers and preferences that are substantially similar to the rights, powers and preferences of the Series A

Preferred Units pursuant to provisions of this Unit Designation that allow the Company to do so without the

approval of the Members. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article II (including Section 2.7),

15

the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Series A Holder, amend this Article

II to allow for the transactions in this Section 2.8(e).

Section 2.9 No Duties to Series A Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Operating Agreement, to

the fullest extent permitted by law, neither the Board of Directors nor any other Indemnified Person shall have any

duties or liabilities to the Series A Holders.

Section 2.10 Forum Selection. Each Person that holds or has held a Series A Preferred Unit and each Person that

holds or has held any beneficial interest in a Series A Preferred Unit (whether through a broker, dealer, bank, trust

company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing or otherwise), to the fullest extent permitted by

law, (i) irrevocably agrees that any claims, suits, actions or proceedings against the Company, or any Director,

officer, employee, control person, underwriter or agent of the Company, asserted under United States federal

securities laws, otherwise arising under such laws, or that could have been asserted as a claim arising under such

laws, shall be exclusively brought in the federal district courts of the United States of America (except, and only to

the extent, that any such claims, actions or proceedings are of a type for which a Member may not waive its right to

maintain a legal action or proceeding in the courts of the State of Delaware with respect to matters relating to the

organization or internal affairs of the Company as set forth under Section 18-109(d) of the Delaware Limited

Liability Company Act); (ii) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in connection with any

such claim, suit, action or proceeding; and (iii) irrevocably agrees not to, and waives any right to, assert in any such

claim, suit, action or proceeding that (A) it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts or any other

court to which proceedings in such courts may be appealed, (B) such claim, suit, action or proceeding is brought in

an inconvenient forum, or (C) the venue of such claim, suit, action or proceeding is improper.

Section 4.2 Conflicts. To the extent that any provision of this Unit Designation conflicts or is inconsistent with the

Operating Agreement, the terms of this Unit Designation shall control.

Units. Each Series B Preferred Unit shall be identical in all respects to every other Series B Preferred Unit. There is

authorized for issuance an unlimited number of Series B Preferred Units. The Series B Preferred Units are not

“Voting Units” for purposes of the Operating Agreement. As of any date of determination, the Percentage Interest as

applies to all Members; provided, however, that when such term is used to only apply to Series B Holders,

“Percentage Interest” shall mean, with respect to any holder of Series B Preferred Units in its capacity as such as of

any date, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the number of Series B Preferred Units held by such holder on such

date relative to the aggregate number of Series B Preferred Units Outstanding as of such date. The Capital Account

balance of a Member with respect to each Series B Preferred Unit held by such Member shall equal the Liquidation

Preference per Series B Preferred Unit as of the date such Series B Preferred Unit is initially issued and shall be

increased as set forth in Section 2.6 of this Unit Designation.

Section 2.2 Distributions.

(a)The Series B Holders shall be entitled to receive with respect to each Series B Preferred Unit owned by

such holder, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, in its sole

discretion out of funds legally available therefor, non-cumulative quarterly cash distributions, on the applicable

Distribution Payment Date that corresponds to the Record Date for which the Board of Directors has declared a

distribution, if any, in an amount equal to the product of (i) 25% and (ii) the rate per annum equal to the Series B

Distribution Rate (subject to Section 2.5(b) of this Unit Designation) and (iii) the Series B Liquidation Preference.

Such distributions shall be non-cumulative. If a Distribution Payment Date is not a Business Day, the related

distribution (if declared) shall be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as though

paid on such Distribution Payment Date, without any increase to account for the period from such Distribution

Payment Date through the date of actual payment. Distributions payable on the Series B Preferred Units for the

Distribution Period commencing on August 9, 2018 and for any period less than a full Distribution Period shall be

computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Declared distributions will be payable

on the relevant Distribution Payment Date to Series B Holders as they appear on the Company’s register at the close

of business, New York City time, on a Series B Record Date, provided that if the Series B Record Date is not a

Business Day, the declared distributions will be payable on the relevant Distribution Payment Date to Series B

Holders as they appear on the Company’s register at the close of business, New York City time, on the Business Day

immediately preceding such Series B Record Date.

(b)So long as any Series B Preferred Units are Outstanding, unless, in each case, distributions have been

declared and paid or declared and set apart for payment on the Series B Preferred Units for a quarterly Distribution

Period, (i) no distribution, whether in cash or property, may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on the Junior

Units for the remainder of that quarterly Distribution Period and (ii) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not

directly or indirectly repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for consideration any Junior Units other than, in each

case, any Permitted Distributions.

(c)The Board of Directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, may, in its sole discretion, choose to

pay distributions on the Series B Preferred Units without the payment of any distributions on any Junior Units.

(d)When distributions are not declared and paid (or duly provided for) on any Distribution Payment Date

(or, in the case of Parity Units having distribution payment dates different from the Distribution Payment Dates

pertaining to the Series B Preferred Units, on a distribution payment date falling within the related Distribution

7

Period) in full upon the Series B Preferred Units or any Parity Units, all distributions declared upon the Series B

Preferred Units and all such Parity Units payable on such Distribution Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Units

having distribution payment dates different from the Distribution Payment Dates, on a distribution payment date

falling within the related Distribution Period) shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such

distributions shall bear the same ratio to each other as all declared and unpaid distributions per Unit on the Series B

Preferred Units and all unpaid distributions, including any accumulations, on all Parity Units payable on such

Distribution Payment Date (or in the case of Parity Units having distribution payment dates different from the

Distribution Payment Dates pertaining to the Series B Preferred Units, on a distribution payment date falling within

the related Distribution Period) bear to each other.

(e)No distributions may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Series B Preferred Units if at

the same time any arrears exist or default exists in the payment of distributions on any Outstanding Units ranking, as

to the payment of distributions and distribution of assets upon a Dissolution Event, senior to the Series B Preferred

Units, subject to any applicable terms of such Outstanding Units.

(f)Series B Holders shall not be entitled to any distributions, whether payable in cash or property,

other than as provided in this Unit Designation and shall not be entitled to interest, or any sum in lieu of interest, in

respect of any distribution payment, including any such payment which is delayed or foregone.

(g)The Members intend that no portion of the distributions paid to the Series B Holders pursuant to this

Section 2.2 shall be treated as a “guaranteed payment” within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, and no

Member shall take any position inconsistent with such intention, except if there is a change in applicable law or final

determination by the Internal Revenue Service that is inconsistent with such intention.

Section 2.3 Rank. The Series B Preferred Units shall rank, with respect to payment of distributions and distribution

of assets upon a Dissolution Event:

(a)junior to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness and any equity securities, including

Preferred Units, that the Company may authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such securities shall rank

senior to the Series B Preferred Units with respect to payment of distributions and distribution of assets upon a

Dissolution Event;

(b)equally to any Parity Units; and

(c)senior to any Junior Units.

Section 2.4 Optional Redemption.

(a)Except as set forth in Section 2.5 of this Unit Designation, the Series B Preferred Units shall not be

redeemable prior to September 15, 2023. At any time or from time to time on or after September 15, 2023, subject to any

limitations that may be imposed by law, the Company may, in its sole discretion, redeem the Series B Preferred Units,

out of funds legally available therefor, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation Preference per

Series B Preferred Unit plus an amount equal to declared and unpaid distributions, if any, from the Distribution Payment

Date immediately preceding the redemption date to, but excluding, the redemption date. If less than all of the

Outstanding Series B Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the Company shall select the Series B Preferred Units to be

redeemed from the Outstanding Series B Preferred Units not previously called for redemption by lot or pro rata (as nearly

as possible) or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of The

Depository Trust Company (or its successor or replacement) and in compliance with the requirements of the

Securities Exchange on which the Series B Preferred Units are then listed, if then listed on a Securities Exchange.

(b)In the event the Company shall redeem any or all of the Series B Preferred Units in accordance with

Section 2.4(a) of this Unit Designation, the Company shall give notice of any such redemption to the Series B

Holders (which such notice may be delivered prior to September 15, 2023) not more than 60 nor less than 30 days

prior to the date fixed for such redemption. Failure to give notice to any Series B Holder shall not affect the

validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Series B Preferred Units being redeemed.

(c)Notice having been given as herein provided and so long as funds legally available and sufficient to

pay the redemption price for all of the Series B Preferred Units called for redemption have been set aside for payment,

from and after the redemption date, such Series B Preferred Units called for redemption shall no longer be deemed

Outstanding, and all rights of the Series B Holders thereof under this Unit Designation, the Operating Agreement or

otherwise shall cease, except for the right to receive the redemption price, without interest.

8

(d)The Series B Holders shall have no right to require redemption of any Series B Preferred Units.

(e)Without limiting clause (c) of this Section 2.4, if the Company shall deposit, on or prior to any date

any bank or trust company as a trust fund, funds sufficient to redeem the Series B Preferred Units called for

redemption, with irrevocable instructions and authority to such bank or trust company to pay on and after the date

fixed for redemption or such earlier date as the Company may determine, to the respective Series B Holders, the

redemption price thereof, then from and after the date of such deposit (although prior to the date fixed for redemption)

such Series B Preferred Units so called shall be deemed to be redeemed and such deposit shall be deemed to constitute

full payment of said Series B Preferred Units to the holders thereof and from and after the date of such deposit said

Series B Preferred Units shall no longer be deemed to be Outstanding, and the holders thereof shall cease to be holders

of Units with respect to such Series B Preferred Units, and shall have no rights with respect thereto under this Unit

Designation, the Operating Agreement or otherwise, except only the right to receive from said bank or trust company,

on the redemption date or such earlier date as the Company may determine, payment of the redemption price of such

Series B Preferred Units without interest.

but not in part, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to $25.25 per Series B Preferred

Unit plus an amount equal to any declared and unpaid distributions to, but excluding, the redemption date, without

the Company’s long-term issuer rating) was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or

arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control

shall have occurred at the time of any Below Investment Grade Rating Event).

(d)If a Series B Tax Event occurs prior to September 15, 2023, within 60 days of the occurrence of such

Series B Tax Event, the Company may, in its sole discretion, redeem the Series B Preferred Units, in whole but not

in part, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to $25.50 per Series B Preferred Unit,

plus an amount equal to any declared and unpaid distributions to, but excluding, the redemption date, without

payment of any undeclared distribution.

(e)If a Rating Agency Event occurs prior to September 15, 2023, within 60 days of the occurrence of such

Rating Agency Event, the Company may, in its sole discretion, redeem the Series B Preferred Units, in whole but not

in part, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to $25.50 per Series B Preferred Unit, plus

an amount equal to any declared and unpaid distributions to, but excluding, the redemption date, without payment of

any undeclared distribution. In the event the Company elects to redeem all of the Series B Preferred Units in

accordance with Section 2.5(a), Section 2.5(d) or Section 2.5(e) of this Unit Designation, the Company shall give

notice of any such redemption to the Series B Holders at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption.

Notice of any redemption, whether in connection with events described in Section 2.5(a), Section 2.5(d) or Section

2.5(e) of this Unit Designation, may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption or notice may,

at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion

or occurrence of the related events described in Section 2.5(a), Section 2.5(d) or Section 2.5(e) of this Unit

Designation; provided, however, that any notice subject to one or more conditions precedent shall specify a

redemption date no later than September 15, 2023. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or

more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be

delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such

notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption

9

date, or by the redemption date so delayed; provided, however, that the redemption date, if such redemption is

conditional, shall not be delayed beyond September 15, 2023. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice

that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption

may be performed by another Person.

(f)The Series B Holders shall have no right to require redemption of any Series B Preferred Units pursuant

to this Section 2.5.

Section 2.6 Allocations. Before giving effect to the allocations set forth in Section 5.2 of the Operating Agreement,

Gross Ordinary Income for the Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated pro rata to the holders of Series B Preferred

Units in accordance with each holder’s Percentage Interest with respect to their Series B Preferred Units in an

amount equal to the sum of (i) the amount of cash distributed with respect to the Series B Preferred Units pursuant to

Section 2.2 of this Unit Designation during such Fiscal Year and (ii) the excess, if any, of the amount of cash

distributed with respect to the Series B Preferred Units pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Unit Designation in all prior

Fiscal Years over the amount of Gross Ordinary Income allocated to the Series B Holders pursuant to this

Section 2.6 in all prior Fiscal Years. To the extent that there is insufficient Gross Ordinary Income for a Fiscal Year

to allocate to the Series B Holders pursuant to the prior sentence and to the holders of any other Parity Units, Gross

Ordinary Income shall be allocated to the Series B Holders and holders of Parity Units for such Fiscal Year on a pro

rata basis based on the amount of distributions paid in respect of the Series B Preferred Units and such Parity Units,

respectively, in such Fiscal Year.

Section 2.7 Voting.

(a)Notwithstanding any provision in the Operating Agreement to the contrary, and except as set forth in this

Section 2.7, the Series B Preferred Units shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other voting, consent or

approval rights or powers, and the vote, consent or approval of the Series B Holders shall not be required for the taking

of any Company action or inaction. Notwithstanding any provision in the Operating Agreement to the contrary, if and

whenever six quarterly distributions (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Series B Preferred Units have not been

declared and paid (a “Nonpayment”), the number of Directors then constituting the Board of Directors automatically

shall be increased by two and the Series B Holders, voting together as a single class with the holders of any other class

or series of Parity Units then Outstanding upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (any

such other class or series, “Voting Preferred Units”), shall have the right to elect these two additional Directors at a

meeting of the Series B Holders and the holders of such Voting Preferred Units called as hereafter provided. When

quarterly distributions have been declared and paid on the Series B Preferred Units for four consecutive Distribution

Periods following the Nonpayment, then the right of the Series B Holders and the holders of such Voting Preferred

Units to elect such two additional Directors shall cease and the terms of office of all directors elected by the Series B

Holders and holders of the Voting Preferred Units shall forthwith terminate immediately and the number of Directors

constituting the whole Board of Directors automatically shall be reduced by two and, for purposes of determining

whether a Nonpayment has occurred, the number of quarterly distributions payable on the Series B Preferred Units that

have not been declared and paid shall be reset to zero. However, the right of the Series B Holders and the holders of the

Voting Preferred Units to elect two additional directors on the Board of Directors shall again vest if and whenever

another Nonpayment occurs.

(b)If a Nonpayment or a subsequent Nonpayment shall have occurred, the Company may, and upon the

written request of any holder of Series B Preferred Units (addressed to the Company) shall, call a special meeting of the

Series B Holders and holders of the Voting Preferred Units for the election of the two Directors to be elected by them.

The Directors elected at any such special meeting shall hold office until the next annual meeting or special meeting

held in lieu thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as above provided. The Company shall, in its

sole discretion, determine a date for a special meeting applying procedures consistent with Article XII of the

Operating Agreement in connection with the expiration of the term of the two Directors elected pursuant to this

Section 2.7. The Series B Holders and holders of the Voting Preferred Units, voting together as a class, may remove

any director elected by the Series B Holders and holders of the Voting Preferred Units pursuant to this Section 2.7. If

any vacancy shall occur among the Directors elected by the Series B Holders and holders of the Voting Preferred

Units, a successor shall be elected by the Board of Directors, upon the nomination of the then-remaining Director

elected by the Series B Holders and holders of the Voting Preferred Units or the successor of such remaining Director,

to serve until the next special meeting (convened as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence) held in place

thereof if such office shall not have previously terminated as above provided. Except to the extent expressly provided

otherwise in this Section 2.7, any such annual or special meeting shall be called and held applying procedures

10

consistent with Article XII of the Operating Agreement as if references to Members were references to Series B

Holders and holders of Voting Preferred Units.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article XI or Article XII of the Operating Agreement, but

subject to Section 2.7(d) of this Unit Designation, so long as any Series B Preferred Units are Outstanding, the

affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the Series B Holders and holders of the Voting

Preferred Units, at the time Outstanding, voting as a single class regardless of series, given in person or by proxy,

either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary:

(i)to amend, alter or repeal any of the provisions of the Operating Agreement relating to the

Series B Preferred Units or any series of Voting Preferred Units, whether by merger, consolidation or

otherwise, to affect materially and adversely the rights, powers and preferences of the Series B Holders or

holders of the Voting Preferred Units; and

(ii)to authorize, create or increase the authorized amount of, any class or series of Preferred Units

having rights senior to the Series B Preferred Units with respect to the payment of distributions or amounts

upon any Dissolution Event; provided, however, that,

(A)in the case of subparagraph (i) above, no such vote of the Series B Preferred Units or

the Voting Preferred Units, as the case may be, shall be required if in connection with any such

amendment, alteration or repeal, by merger, consolidation or otherwise, each Series B Preferred Unit

and Voting Preferred Units remains Outstanding without the terms thereof being materially changed

in any respect adverse to the holders thereof or is converted into or exchanged for preferred equity

securities of the surviving entity having preferences, other rights, voting powers, restrictions,

limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption thereof

substantially similar to those of such Series B Preferred Units or the Voting Preferred Units, as the

case may be;

(B)in the case of subparagraph (i) above, if such amendment affects materially and

adversely the rights, preferences, privileges or powers of one or more but not all of the classes or

series of Voting Preferred Units and the Series B Preferred Units at the time Outstanding, the

affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all such classes

or series of Voting Preferred Units and the Series B Preferred Units so affected, voting as a single

class regardless of class or series, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or

by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be required in lieu of (or, if such consent is

required by law, in addition to) the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be

cast by the Voting Preferred Units and the Series B Preferred Units otherwise entitled to vote as a

single class in accordance herewith; and

(C)in the case of subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, no such vote of the Series B Holders or

holders of the Voting Preferred Units, as the case may be, shall be required if, at or prior to the time

when such action is to take effect, provision is made for the redemption of all Series B Preferred Units

or Voting Preferred Units, as the case may be, at the time Outstanding or proper notice of redemption

of the Series B Preferred Units or Voting Preferred Units, as the case may be, at the time Outstanding

has been given and funds sufficient to pay the redemption price for all of the Series B Preferred Units

or Voting Preferred Units, as the case may be, have been set aside for payment pursuant to the terms

of the Operating Agreement.

(d) For the purposes of this Section 2.7, neither:

(i)the amendment of provisions of the Operating Agreement so as to authorize or create or issue,

or to increase the authorized amount of, any Junior Units or any Parity Units; nor

(ii)any merger, consolidation or otherwise, in which (1) the Company is the surviving entity and

the Series B Preferred Units remain Outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged in any respect

adverse to the holders thereof; or (2) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is organized under the laws

of any state and substitutes or exchanges the Series B Preferred Units for other preferred equity securities

having rights, powers and preferences (including with respect to redemption thereof) substantially similar to

that of the Series B Preferred Units under this Unit Designation (except for changes that do not materially

and adversely affect the Series B Preferred Units considered as a whole)

11

shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the rights, powers and preferences of the Series B Preferred Units

or holders of Voting Preferred Units.

(e) For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, each Series B Holder shall have one vote per

Series B Preferred Unit, except that when any other series of Preferred Units shall have the right to vote with the

Series B Preferred Units as a single class on any matter, then the Series B Holders and the holders of such other series

of Preferred Units shall have with respect to such matters one vote per $25.00 of stated liquidation preference.

(f) The Board of Directors may cause the Company to, from time to time, without notice to or consent of the

Series B Holders or holders of other Parity Units, issue additional Series B Preferred Units or other Parity Units.

(g) The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7 will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with

respect to which a vote pursuant to this Section 2.7 would otherwise be required shall be effected, the Series B

Preferred Units shall have been redeemed or proper notice of redemption of the Series B Preferred Units has been

given and funds sufficient to pay the redemption price for all of the Series B Preferred Units have been set aside for

payment pursuant to the terms of this Unit Designation.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 2.7, if at any time any Person or Group (other than

any member of the Oaktree Group) is the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the Outstanding Series B Preferred

Units, all Series B Preferred Units owned by such Person or Group shall not be entitled to be voted on any matter

and shall not be considered to be Outstanding when sending notices of a meeting of Members to vote on any matter

(unless otherwise required by Applicable Law), calculating required votes, determining the presence of a quorum

or for other similar purposes under this Unit Designation and the Operating Agreement; provided, that the

foregoing limitation shall not apply: (i) to any Person or Group who acquired 20% or more of the Series B

Preferred Units then Outstanding directly from any member of the Oaktree Group; (ii) to any Person or Group who

acquired 20% or more of the Series B Preferred Units then Outstanding directly or indirectly from a Person or

Group described in clause (i) provided that the Board of Directors shall have notified such Person or Group in

writing that such limitation shall not apply; or (iii) to any Person or Group who acquired 20% or more of the Series

B Preferred Units with the prior written approval of the Board of Directors, which approval may be withheld in the

Board of Directors’ sole discretion.

(i) So long as any Series B Preferred Units are Outstanding and only in the event of a Nonpayment, the

Manager hereby irrevocably (i) agrees that from time to time, automatically and without further action by the

Manager, the size of the Board of Directors shall be increased by two and that the corresponding vacancies be filled,

as provided by this Section 2.7, and that from time to time directors be removed and the size of the Board of

Directors correspondingly decreased, as provided by this Section 2.7, and (ii) delegates to such Members as

expressly provided in this Section 2.7 the filling of such vacancies and election of such directors from time to time.

Section 2.8 Liquidation Rights.

(a) Upon any Dissolution Event, after payment or provision for the liabilities of the Company (including

the expenses of such Dissolution Event) and the satisfaction of all claims ranking senior to the Series B Preferred

Units in accordance with Section 9.3 of the Operating Agreement, the Series B Holders shall be entitled to receive

out of the assets of the Company or proceeds thereof available for distribution to Members, before any payment or

distribution of assets is made in respect of Junior Units, distributions equal to the lesser of (x) the Series B

Liquidation Value and (y) the positive balance in their Capital Accounts (to the extent such positive balance is

attributable to ownership of the Series B Preferred Units and after taking into account allocations of Gross

Ordinary Income to the Series B Holders pursuant to Section 2.6 of this Unit Designation for the taxable year in

which the Dissolution Event occurs) pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Operating Agreement, pro rata based on the full

respective distributable amounts to which each Series B Holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 2.8(a).

(b)Upon a Dissolution Event, after each Series B Holder receives a payment equal to the positive balance

in its Capital Account (to the extent such positive balance is attributable to ownership of the Series B Preferred Units

and after taking into account allocations of Gross Ordinary Income to the Series B Holders pursuant to Section 2.6 for

the taxable year in which the Dissolution Event occurs), such Series B Holder shall not be entitled to any further

participation in any distribution of assets by the Company.

(c)If the assets of the Company available for distribution upon a Dissolution Event are insufficient to pay

in full the aggregate amount payable to the Series B Holders and the holders of all other Outstanding Parity Units, if

any, such assets shall be distributed to the Series B Holders and the holders of such Parity Units pro rata, based on the

full respective distributable amounts to which each such Member is entitled pursuant to this Section 2.8.

12

(d)Nothing in this Section 2.8 shall be understood to entitle the Series B Holders to be paid any amount

upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event until holders of any classes or series of Units ranking, as to the distribution

of assets upon a Dissolution Event, senior to the Series B Preferred Units have been paid all amounts to which such

classes or series of Units are entitled.

(e)For the purposes of this Unit Designation, neither the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer, for cash,

Units, securities or other consideration, of all or substantially all of the Company’s property or assets nor the

consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Company with or into any other entity or the consolidation, merger or

amalgamation of any other entity with or into the Company shall be deemed to be a Dissolution Event,

notwithstanding that for other purposes, such as for tax purposes, such an event may constitute a liquidation,

dissolution or winding up. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.8, no payment will be

made to the Series B Holders pursuant to this Section 2.8 (i) upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution

or winding up of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or upon any reorganization of the Company pursuant to Article

XI of the Operating Agreement, with or without approval of the Members (including a transaction pursuant to Section

11.3 of the Operating Agreement) or (ii) if the Company engages in a reorganization or other transaction in which a

successor to the Company issues equity securities to the Series B Holders that have rights, powers and preferences that

are substantially similar to the rights, powers and preferences of the Series B Preferred Units pursuant to provisions of

this Unit Designation that allow the Company to do so without the approval of the Members. Notwithstanding any

provision to the contrary in this Article II (including Section 2.7), the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion

and without the consent of any Series B Holder, amend this Article II to allow for the transactions in this Section

2.8(e).

Section 2.9 No Duties to Series B Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Operating Agreement,

to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither the Board of Directors nor any other Indemnified Person shall have

any duties or liabilities to the Series B Holders.

Section 2.10 Forum Selection. Each Person that holds or has held a Series B Preferred Unit and each Person that

holds or has held any beneficial interest in a Series B Preferred Unit (whether through a broker, dealer, bank, trust

company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing or otherwise), to the fullest extent permitted by

law, (i) irrevocably agrees that any claims, suits, actions or proceedings against the Company, or any Director,

officer, employee, control person, underwriter or agent of the Company, asserted under United States federal

securities laws, otherwise arising under such laws, or that could have been asserted as a claim arising under such

laws, shall be exclusively brought in the federal district courts of the United States of America (except, and only to

the extent, that any such claims, actions or proceedings are of a type for which a Member may not waive its right to

maintain a legal action or proceeding in the courts of the State of Delaware with respect to matters relating to the

organization or internal affairs of the Company as set forth under Section 18-109(d) of the Delaware Limited

Liability Company Act); (ii) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in connection with any

such claim, suit, action or proceeding; and (iii) irrevocably agrees not to, and waives any right to, assert in any such

claim, suit, action or proceeding that (A) it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts or any other

court to which proceedings in such courts may be appealed, (B) such claim, suit, action or proceeding is brought in

an inconvenient forum, or (C) the venue of such claim, suit, action or proceeding is improper.

“Right to Acquire Units” of the Operating Agreement shall apply to the Series B Preferred Units.
