Section 5. Members.
(a) The
mailing address of the Member is set forth on Schedule B attached hereto. The Member continues as a member of the Company upon its execution of a counterpart signature page to this Agreement.
(b) Subject
to Section 9(j), the Member may act by written consent.
(c) Upon
the occurrence of any event that causes the Member to cease to be a member of the Company (other than upon continuation of the Company without dissolution upon (i) an assignment by the Member of all of its limited liability company interest in the
Company and the admission of the transferee pursuant to Sections 21 and 23, or (ii) the resignation of the Member and the admission of an additional member of the Company pursuant to Sections 22 and
23), each Person acting as an Independent Director pursuant to Section 10 shall, without any action of any Person and simultaneously with the Member ceasing to be a member of the Company,
automatically be admitted to the Company as a Special Member and shall continue the Company without dissolution. No Special Member may resign from the Company or transfer its rights as Special Member unless (i) a successor Special Member has been
admitted to the Company as Special Member by executing a counterpart to this Agreement, and (ii) such successor has also accepted its appointment as Independent Director pursuant to Section 10; provided, however, the Special
Member shall automatically cease to be a member of the Company upon the admission to the Company of a substitute Member. Each Special Member shall be a member of the Company that has no interest in the profits, losses and capital of the Company and
has no right to receive any distributions of Company assets. Pursuant to Section 18-301 of the Act, a Special Member shall not be required to make any capital contributions to the Company and shall not receive a limited liability company interest in
the Company. A Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, may not bind the Company. Except as required by any mandatory provision of the Act, each Special Member, solely in its capacity as Special Member (and not in its capacity as an
Independent Director), shall have no right to vote on, approve or otherwise consent to any action by, or matter relating to, the Company, including, without limitation, the merger, consolidation or conversion of the Company. In order to implement
the admission to the Company of each Special Member, each Person acting as an Independent Director pursuant to Section 10 shall execute a counterpart to this Agreement. Prior to its admission to the Company as Special Member, the Person
acting as Independent Director pursuant to Section 10 shall not be a member of the Company.
(d) It is
the intention of the parties hereto that the Company be classified as an entity disregarded as separate from the Member, and not as an association taxable as a corporation, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, and the provisions of
this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intention. No election shall be filed with the Internal Revenue Service (or any other tax authority) to cause the Company be treated other than as an entity disregarded as
separate from the Member for any tax purposes, and the parties hereto agree not to take any action (including admission of an additional Member pursuant to Section 23 or assignment of a limited liability company interest pursuant to Section 21)
that could result in the Company being treated for any such purpose as other than disregarded as separate from the Member.
Section 6. Certificates.
Dana C. Kahney is hereby designated as an “authorized person” within the meaning of the Act, and has executed, delivered and filed the Certificate of Formation of the Company with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Upon the filing of the Certificate of Formation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, her powers as an “authorized person” ceased and, upon the execution of this Agreement, the Member
shall be the designated “authorized person” and shall continue as the designated “authorized person” within the meaning of the Act. The Member or an Officer shall execute, deliver and file any other certificates (and any amendments and/or
restatements thereof) necessary for the Company to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction in which the Company may presently conduct or wish to conduct business.

business ventures (unconnected with the Company) of every kind and description, independently or with others. The Company shall not have any rights in or to such independent ventures or the income or profits therefrom by virtue of this Agreement.
Section 20. Exculpation and Indemnification.
(a) Neither
the Member nor the Special Member nor any Officer, Director, employee or agent of the Company nor any employee, representative, agent or Affiliate of the Member or the Special Member or the Independent Director (each, a “Covered Person”)
shall be liable to the Company or any other Person bound by this Agreement for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner
reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Covered Person shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such
Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that no Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified
in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity under
this Section 20 by the Company shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and the Member and the Special Member shall not have personal liability on account thereof; and provided further, that so long
as any Obligation is outstanding, no indemnity payment from funds of the Company (as distinct from funds from other sources, such as insurance) of any indemnity under this Section 20 shall be payable from amounts allocable to any other
Person pursuant to the Basic Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Trust formed by the Company has outstanding any Credit Extensions rated by a Rating Agency, the Company’s obligation to pay any amount as indemnification shall be fully
subordinated to payment of amounts then due on the rated Credit Extensions and, in any case, (x) nonrecourse to any of the Company’s assets pledged to secure the rated Credit Extensions, and (y) shall not constitute a claim against the Company to
the extent that funds are insufficient to pay such amounts.
(c) To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition
of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as
authorized in this Section 20.
(d) A
Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes
are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets,
liabilities, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to the Member might properly be paid.
(e) To
the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to any other Covered Person, a Covered Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the
Company or to any other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement or any approval or authorization granted by the Company or any other Covered Person. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they
restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Member and the Special Member to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.
(f) The
foregoing provisions of this Section 20 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 21. Assignments.
|
1. |
Subject to paragraph 2 below, the Member may assign in whole or in part its limited liability company interest in the Company to the extent permitted by the Basic Documents. Subject to Section 23,
the transferee shall be admitted to the Company as a member of the Company upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which instrument may be a counterpart signature
page to this Agreement. If the Member transfers all of its limited liability company interest in the Company pursuant to this Section 21, such admission shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the transfer and, immediately
following such admission, the transferor Member shall cease to be a member of the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any successor to the Member by merger or consolidation in compliance with the Basic
Documents shall, without further act, be the Member hereunder, and such merger or consolidation shall not constitute an assignment for purposes of this Agreement and the Company shall continue without dissolution.
|
|
2. |
The Member shall cause to be kept or maintained, a register (the “Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall provide for the registration of the limited
liability company interests in the Company. The Member shall only update the Register to record an assignment as provided in paragraph 1 above, and no such assignment shall be effective until recorded in the Register.
|
Section 22. Resignation.
Prior to the Final Payment Date, the Member may not resign, except as permitted under the Basic Documents. If the Member is permitted to resign pursuant to this Section 22, an
additional member of the Company shall be admitted to the Company, subject to Section 23, upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which instrument may be a
counterpart signature page to this Agreement. Such admission shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the resignation and, immediately following such admission, the resigning Member shall cease to be a member of the Company.
Section 23. Admission of Additional Members.
One or more additional Members of the Company may be admitted to the Company with the written consent of the Member and 10 days prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, during which
time no Rating Agency shall have notified the Company that such action might or would result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings it has currently assigned to any outstanding Credit Extensions issued by a Trust formed by the
Company; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Final Payment Date, no additional Member may be admitted to the Company unless such admission is permitted by, and would not result in a “Change of
Control” under, the Basic Documents.
Section 24. Dissolution.
(a) The Company shall be dissolved, and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first to occur of the following: (i) the termination of the legal existence of the last remaining member of the Company or the occurrence of any other
event which terminates the continued membership of the last remaining member of the Company in the Company unless the business of the Company is continued in a manner permitted by this Agreement or the Act or (ii) the entry of a decree of judicial
dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act, following any action with respect thereto taken by the Member or the Board pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and as otherwise permitted by the Basic Documents. Upon the
occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining member of the Company to cease to be a member of the Company or that causes the Member to cease to be a member of the Company (other than a continuation of the Company without dissolution upon
(i) an assignment by the Member of all of its limited liability company interest in the Company and the admission of the transferee pursuant to Sections 21 and 23, or (ii) the resignation of the Member and the admission of an
additional member of the Company pursuant to Sections 22 and 23), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of such member is hereby authorized to, and shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of the event
that terminated the continued membership of such member in the Company, agree in writing (i) to continue the Company and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of
the Company, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member in the Company.
(b) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Bankruptcy of the Member or a Special Member shall not cause the Member or Special Member, respectively, to cease to be a member of the Company and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of the
Company shall continue without dissolution.
(c) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, each of the Member and the Special Member waives any right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve the Company upon the Bankruptcy of the Member or a Special Member, or the occurrence of an event that
causes the Member or a Special Member to cease to be a member of the Company.
(d) In
the event of dissolution, the Company shall conduct only such activities as are necessary to wind up its affairs (including the sale of the assets of the Company in an orderly manner), and the assets of the Company shall be applied in the manner,
and in the order of priority, set forth in Section 18-804 of the Act; provided, however, that until the Final Payment Date, to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither the Member nor the Company shall liquidate the assets of the
Company pledged under any Basic Documents to which it is a party without the consent of the secured party thereunder, who may continue to exercise all of its rights under such Basic Documents and any related document and shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, have complete and independent ability to retain such assets or collateral until the Final Payment Date.
(e) The
Company shall terminate when (i) all of the assets of the Company (after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company as described in paragraph (d) above and in Section 18-804 of the Act) shall have been
distributed to the
Member in the manner provided for in this Agreement and (ii) the Certificate of Formation shall have been canceled in the manner required by the Act.
Section 25. Waiver of Partition; Nature of Interest.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Member and the Special Member hereby irrevocably waives any right or power
that such Person might have to cause the Company or any of its assets to be partitioned, to cause the appointment of a receiver for all or any portion of the assets of the Company, to compel any sale of all or any portion of the assets of the Company
pursuant to any applicable law or to file a complaint or to institute any proceeding at law or in equity to cause the dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination of the Company. The Member shall not have any interest in any specific assets
of the Company, and the Member shall not have the status of a creditor with respect to any distribution pursuant to Section 16 hereof. The interest of the Member in the Company is personal property.
Section 26. Benefits of Agreement No Third-Party Rights.
None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditor of the Company or by any creditor of the Member or a Special Member. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to create any right in any Person not a party hereto, and this Agreement shall not be construed in any respect to be a contract in whole or in part for the benefit of any third Person.
Section 27. Severability of Provisions.
Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered severable and if for any reason any provision or provisions herein are determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal under any
existing or future law, such invalidity, unenforceability or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Agreement which are valid, enforceable and legal.
Section 28. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Section 29. Binding Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Member agrees that this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Member, and is enforceable against the
Member by the Independent Director, in accordance with its terms.
Section 30. Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to conflict of laws principles), all rights and remedies being governed by said
laws.
Section 31. Amendments.
Subject to Section 9(j), this Agreement may be modified, altered, supplemented or amended pursuant to a written agreement executed and delivered by the Member. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, until the Final Payment Date, this Agreement may not be modified, altered, supplemented or amended unless (x) such action is permitted by the Basic Documents except (i) to cure any ambiguity or (ii) to
convert or supplement any provision in a manner consistent with the intent of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and (y) if any Credit Extensions are outstanding as of the date of such amendment that are rated by a Rating Agency, prior
written notice thereof shall be provided to such Rating Agency.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Schedule B hereto may be amended without the prior written notice to or consent of any party.
Section 32. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original of this Agreement and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.
Section 33. Notices.
Any notices required to be delivered hereunder shall be in writing and personally delivered, mailed or sent by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of rapid transmission, and
shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt (a) in the case of the Company, to the Company at its address pursuant to Section 2, (b) in the case of the Member, to the Member at its address as listed on Schedule B attached
hereto and (c) in the case of either of the foregoing, at such other address as may be designated by written notice to the other party.
